The Sheraton Hotel is located on the east side of Queen's Road, the most prosperous street in Auckland. To the north is King's Road, which is famous for its various souvenir shops and night prostitutes. To the south is the road leading to the Sky Tower.
Between the Sheraton Hotel and the Sky Tower, there is a narrow street with restaurants, bars and shopping malls on both sides. In addition to a huge arcade store opened by a Japanese, the most popular one is the Margarita Bar.
When the lights came on, there weren't many people at the door of Margaret. It was a weekend, and generally speaking, the handsome men and beautiful women who liked nightlife would not show up until after nine o'clock. They would party in the bar, dancing their youthful bodies. If they were single, they might have a chance encounter with a sexy girl. Even if there was no encounter, going home with a little tips and having a good sleep was still a comfortable weekend.
Zheng Yubai and Wu Neng tried their best to dress like local youths, but they still looked very abrupt when they appeared at the door of Margaret's. Because at this time, although Margaret's was playing music, there was not even a single customer.
"Brother Yubai, shall we go in and take a look?" Wu Neng, who had been planning to drink some local wine in the bar, was almost drooling. He heard that every weekend, there would be many sexy girls wearing very revealing clothes here. Wu Neng didn't know the specific situation, but Howard's saliva flew when he talked, and his eyes were wide open.
Zheng Yubai looked at Wu Neng helplessly and whispered, "Have you forgotten the plan?"
They didn't come to Margaret's for fun. They came here because they were on the same street as the back door of the Sheraton Hotel. The two of them lit cigarettes at the door and took a puff from time to time, which allowed them to see the situation at the back door of the Sheraton Hotel clearly.
Ten o'clock in the evening is the time when the two police shifts change shifts, and it is also the time when the defense is the most relaxed. Lin Xiaoxi has collected all the information. Whether the rescue can be successful depends on the on-the-spot response of Zheng Yubai and Wu Neng. As for Howard, he has been driving around the city center. Once he succeeds, he will rush to respond immediately.
"It's still early." Wu Neng muttered. As he was talking, two heavily made-up Asian women came over. They had cigarettes in their mouths. Judging from their words, they should be Korean.
Wu Neng's eyes were fixed on the breasts of the two women, and he was so lustful that he even forgot to blink. The two women saw Wu Neng's expression, not only were they not angry, but they pushed their breasts up even more, as if they were proud of it.
Zheng Yubai muttered, "I don't know if it's natural, but you're staring so hard that your eyeballs are about to pop out."
"Who cares whether it's real or not, as long as it feels comfortable to touch." Wu Neng swallowed his saliva. His appreciation of women was completely different from Zheng Yubai's.
"Don't forget that you are still a monk..." Zheng Yubai had no way to deal with the Five Energy.
"What's wrong with the monk..." Wu Neng muttered unconvinced, and then his attention was attracted by the beauties that appeared on the street one after another. The mission had not yet begun, but he had a feast for his eyes. When more and more people appeared on the street, his eyes were not enough. He stayed on this beauty for a second, and then another beauty with a more revealing figure and sexier figure appeared, making him overwhelmed.
"It's great, I love it here so much." Wu Neng was so excited that he almost shed tears.
Seeing this lecherous monk, Zheng Yubai was really helpless. With his five abilities, being a playboy was the most suitable for him.
Soon it was ten o'clock, and more and more people were pouring into the street. Among the crowd, Zheng Yubai could still accurately focus on the back door of the Sheraton Hotel. Except for a few people carrying garbage, there was no movement there.
The clock outside Margaret's door had reached 10:12, and the back door of the Sheraton Hotel finally opened. Two bloated middle-aged policemen came out first, holding Starbucks coffee cups in their hands and chatting as they walked.
"Let's go." Zheng Yubai patted Wu Neng, who was still in the land of comfort and didn't know where to go, and walked towards the back door of Sheraton.
The two policemen were not at all wary of the two Asians who were walking towards them. It was a weekend, and there were game halls, food courts and bars nearby where Asians liked to gather. It was very common to see Asians here. So they just drank coffee and chatted, and soon turned a corner and went home to enjoy the weekend with their wives and children.
After their figures disappeared, Zheng Yubai and Wu Neng quickly came to the back door of the Sheraton Hotel and walked in with swagger.
The back door led to a corridor, and a policeman was walking towards them while talking on the phone. When he saw Zheng Yubai and Wu Neng, he hung up the phone and asked in English, "Who are you?"
Zheng Yubai winked at Wu Neng. Wu Neng understood and raised his hand to strike him in the air. Before the policeman could figure out what was going on, he felt a pain on his forehead, and his eyes went dark before he passed out.
After knocking the policeman unconscious, Zheng Yubai felt around his body and found a security card for entering and leaving the hotel. He asked Wu Neng to drag the policeman to a secluded place and hide him there, and the two of them crept into the fire escape before the other police could find them.
To get to the 12th floor of the Sheraton Hotel, you need to take a special elevator, but there are cameras in the elevator, which are directly connected to the police station and several security companies. Zheng Yubai is not stupid, so he will never take the elevator. Although there are cameras in the fire escape, as long as you take appropriate measures, you can easily avoid them.
"Did you see it?" Zheng Yubai pointed at the camera that was rotating back and forth at the top of the fire escape and asked Wu Neng softly.
Wu Neng nodded: "You want me to shoot it down?"
Zheng Yubai smiled bitterly and said, "If you shoot it down, what's the difference between that and telling others that we're coming in? Don't you see the camera is spinning? When it spins, we'll rush over. There's a blind spot here, and no one will see us."
"Oh, now I understand." Wu Neng chuckled, "We are playing a secret infiltration game."
Seeing Wu Neng's smiling face, Zheng Yubai really couldn't do anything about him. In the eyes of this naive kid, everything in the world is just a game.
The camera finally turned to a blind spot, and Zheng Yubai and Wu Neng jumped up the stairs at the same time. Their speed was much faster than that of ordinary people, so even if the camera turned around quickly, it would not be able to capture their figures in time. In this way, choosing the best time, the two quickly reached the twelfth floor.
The fire escape exit on the 12th floor was locked, but this could not stop Zheng Yubai. You have to know that he is the future son-in-law of the King of Thieves Xu Ruoyu. If he is blocked by a door, it would be a big joke. What's more, there is a Wu Neng who can push down a wall at any time.
He easily opened the door lock with a paper clip in his hand. Wu Neng was stunned and asked, "Brother Yubai, when did you learn this skill? If you know this, you will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life."
"I'm not a thief..." Zheng Yubai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stretched out his hand to gently push the door open. According to his deep understanding of the floor plan, there was a corridor outside. As for the route to Suite 8, it was already deeply imprinted in his mind.
The corridor outside was empty because it was only used in the event of a fire and was usually locked, even if the police wanted to defend it.
Zheng Yubai and Wu Neng quietly sneaked out of the small door of the fire escape and slipped into the corridor. There were no cameras here, and they soon came to the end of the corridor, which was a T-shaped intersection. According to the floor plan, Suite 8 was on the right. Not far ahead, there were two cameras with no blind spots and two policemen guarding.
"How do we get through?" Wu Neng asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry." Zheng Yubai motioned him to be quiet. He stuck his head out and saw two policemen sitting on chairs not far from the corridor on the right, half asleep, occasionally changing their positions. Above their heads, two cameras were rotating back and forth, which happened to see the entire corridor clearly, making it impossible to avoid them by using blind spots.
"If we can't attack head-on, we'll have to go around from the side." Zheng Yubai smiled. The two cameras couldn't cover this intersection, so Zheng Yubai asked Wu Neng to wait there. He took advantage of the two policemen's attention not being here and quietly jumped out, not to the right but to the left. As soon as he turned into the corridor on the left, there were two more corridors. Zheng Yubai turned right and the door of Room 10 was in front of him.
Howard booked this room in the morning in the name of the Special Affairs Administration. Not only was there no one in the room that would disturb Zheng Yubai, but a set of tools was also prepared for him. In order not to cause trouble for Howard, Zheng Yubai still used a paper clip to poke the door open, and then slipped in. A moment later, the door opened again, and Zheng Yubai had changed into a New Zealand local police uniform. He was tall and burly, and with the brim of his hat pressed down, it was difficult to tell whether it was real or fake.
Every thirty minutes or so, a patrolling policeman would patrol the 12th floor and inspect the status of each post. There were still two minutes left until 10:30, and Zheng Yubai still had a lot to do. He didn't dare to neglect it, and seized the last two minutes and quickly returned to the fire escape.
Wu Neng was startled when he suddenly saw a policeman rushing over. Just as he was about to hit him, he saw Zheng Yubai's familiar face under the hat. He couldn't help but snicker and whispered, "Brother Yubai, where did you get this suit? Why didn't you take me with you on such a fun thing?"
Zheng Yubai thought to himself, when Howard and I were discussing the rescue plan, weren't you watching an adult program on satellite TV? You didn't respond when I asked you and your nose was bleeding from watching it.
Time was running out, and Zheng Yubai had no time to deal with Wu Neng. A sound of footsteps came from afar, and a conversation between a patrol policeman and a guard policeman was heard in the corridor on the right. They chatted for about three or five sentences, and the patrol policeman continued to walk over.
"Shut up!" Zheng Yubai signaled Wu Neng not to act rashly.
The footsteps became louder and louder, and they kept passing the corridor where the two were hiding without stopping. The police didn't even bother to look inside, because in their impression, it was impossible for someone to enter the twelfth floor from here.
Zheng Yubai saw the opportunity and quietly leaned out. The two policemen had resumed their lazy postures, and the camera couldn't see them. So he nimbly got out, swung his arm, knocked the police unconscious with his fist, and then dragged him into the corridor with his arm.
This series of actions did not make any sound, and the two policemen did not even notice that their colleague had disappeared inexplicably and cleverly.
Zheng Yubai laid the policeman on the ground and pressed the blood vessels on the back of his neck to ensure that he would not wake up within two hours. After waiting for about ten minutes, Zheng Yubai expected the patrol to return here, so he walked out of the corridor and walked towards the two policemen. He pulled his hat down, and his figure was very similar to that of the policeman just now. There was no difference at all from the camera.
"Lance, you're back." One of the policemen didn't even raise his head, and the other one was simply snoring.
"Hmm..." Zheng Yubai responded in a low voice, and took another step forward, standing just below the camera. Although this was not a blind spot, the other camera that might monitor this place was 20 meters away, so the picture would not be very clear. So when Zheng Yubai gently put his hand on the shoulder of the policeman who greeted him and knocked him out, there was no reaction in the building.
After dealing with the one who was still awake, it would be much easier to deal with the other one who was still asleep. Zheng Yubai easily knocked him out. The next step was to deal with the monitoring room, otherwise the cameras densely distributed throughout the hotel would be really annoying.
Wearing a police uniform was convenient. Without making any noise, Zheng Yubai had already dealt with six policemen standing guard in various places in the corridor. He also arrived at the door of the monitoring room soon.
"Bang, bang, bang." There was a knock on the monitoring room door. Zheng Yubai dodged the knock and clenched his fists, ready to attack at any time.
The door opened, and the sleepy monitor looked up and saw Zheng Yubai, and was stunned. But before he could get rid of his sleepiness and figure out whether he was dreaming or in reality, he was punched in the face and fell backwards.
Zheng Yubai entered the monitoring room and closed the door. There were a few slight knocks from inside, and then it was quiet. When Zheng Yubai came out again a moment later, the cameras above his head had become decorations.
This time, Zheng Yubai finally didn't have to worry about the presence of the camera. He had just replaced the images that the camera was transmitting to several security companies in real time with a tape that Howard had prepared long ago. Now, even if he did somersaults in the corridor, no one would notice him.
In the corridor, there were only five people except the seven unconscious policemen. They didn't have to worry about guests coming, because the importance of the 12th floor was such that it was only rented to guests with special channels, and even the waiters had to ring the bell before they would come to serve. Usually, it was empty, and not a single living thing could be seen.
Zheng Yubai called Wu Neng and took him to the door of Suite 8. The two policemen guarding here had been knocked down by Zheng Yubai. According to the analysis of the floor plan and Lin Xiaoxi's intelligence, there were at least five more policemen inside.
Suite 8 has a master bedroom, a guest bedroom, two living rooms, a dining room, two toilets and a storage room. The suite is very large and can accommodate at least fifty people. It is not easy to resolve the battle quickly.
Fortunately, the other party is the police, not the kidnappers, so there is no need to worry about them taking Ding Rulong as a hostage, which saves a lot of trouble. Sometimes Zheng Yubai thinks that if you are a bad guy, you can act without scruples. With 80% of your strength, you can often do 100% of things. But if you are a good person who is cautious, even if you have 120% of your strength, you can probably only exert 100%.
Being a bad guy sometimes has its benefits. Zheng Yubai thought so, and gently poked open the door of the suite. He dodged and rushed in, knocking a policeman guarding the door to the ground with one punch.
Wu Neng also rushed in at the same time. Opposite the door was a living room. A policeman in the living room was sitting cross-legged and humming a song. Suddenly seeing someone breaking in, he subconsciously reached for his gun. Wu Neng certainly would not give him this opportunity. He jumped forward and slapped him with his palm, causing him to roll his eyes and faint.
It was just a flash of lightning that happened when the door opened, and two policemen fell down. After hearing the noise, a policeman walked out of the living room next door in confusion. As soon as he showed his head, Wu Neng knocked him unconscious with a palm.
"Don't move!" Wu Neng was having fun and was about to rush into the living room when a loud shout came from behind him. A policeman, who had not even had time to put on his pants, walked out of the bathroom on the other side with a pistol in his hand. The black muzzle of the pistol in his hand was pointing at Wu Neng's back.
Wu Neng turned his head with disdain, pointed at his forehead with a sneer and said, "Hit here. If you have the guts, aim and hit here. If you hit it, with a bang, the head will fall to the ground like a watermelon, and the brain and blood will splatter all over the ground. It will be a beautiful sight."
He was speaking Chinese, which the police could not understand, but they could probably figure out what Wu Neng meant. New Zealand is a small country with a small population and good welfare. Most criminals are robbers, fraudsters, and drug dealers. Although there are some serious criminal cases, they are not many. The police usually issue tickets and resolve family disputes. Batons are considered luxury equipment, not to mention pistols.
The policeman in front of him had never fired a gun outside of a shooting range. Seeing Wu Neng's eyes light up and he was not afraid at all, he began to tremble. Zheng Yubai, who was standing by, saw this and his heart, which had been in his throat, suddenly dropped. His hand trembled and he threw a punch, hitting the policeman's wrist, causing the already unstable pistol to fall. Another punch was thrown, and this incompetent policeman fell down like his companion.
There is another one... Zheng Yubai knocked down the policeman and immediately heard a noise inside. He and Wu Neng rushed over and saw a policeman holding Ding Rulong at gunpoint and looking at them nervously.
"Yu Bai!" After suffering unfair treatment in a foreign country, Ding Rulong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he suddenly saw an acquaintance.
"Shut up!" the policeman shouted. He didn't understand Chinese and certainly didn't want to be kept in the dark.
"If you come close, I will shoot. Let me tell you, I won second place in the police shooting competition." This policeman was obviously more experienced than the previous one. At least his hand holding the gun was not shaking. Especially since he was hiding behind Ding Rulong, if Zheng Yubai wanted to knock him down, he had to go around Ding Rulong. The speed of a person could not be compared with that of a bullet. If he fought hard, there would be casualties.
Zheng Yubai shrugged his shoulders, which immediately caused great tension among the police. He shouted, "Drop your weapons on the ground."
"I have no weapon." Zheng Yubai raised his hand and pointed his palm towards him so that he could see clearly that there was indeed nothing in his palm.
Wu Neng also raised his hand like Zheng Yubai did. He looked at the police with a smile on his face, but in the other's eyes, it seemed like he was threatening him.
"Where's my partner?" The policeman didn't know that his other partners had been knocked unconscious. He pushed Ding Rulong forward with one hand and followed him. At this moment, he didn't look like a policeman guarding justice, but more like a gangster who had taken hostages and was planning to escape.
"All outside." Zheng Yubai and Wu made way for them, looking very afraid of the guns in the police's hands. This made the police feel a little relieved. The situation was so tense that he forgot to think about why two unarmed people could easily break through his companions and enter here.
"My God, what did you do to Ronald?" he exclaimed when he saw a policeman lying in the living room outside.
At the moment his eyes changed, Zheng Yubai, who had been waiting for an opportunity, made his move. Although the policeman hid behind Ding Rulong, he had a way. He saw his body shrink and shoot out like lightning, heading straight for Ding Rulong.
Ding Rulong's eyes widened, not knowing what Zheng Yubai was going to do. The police suddenly lost their target and pressed against Ding Rulong in panic, hoping to use him as a shield.
"Bang!" With a dull sound, Zheng Yubai's fist hit Ding Rulong's lower abdomen fiercely. Ding Rulong looked at Zheng Yubai's fist in disbelief. He should have been thrown backwards or vomited blood and died, so why didn't he react? Well, it seemed that a gust of wind blew past his body. This feeling was inexplicable and had never happened before.
The policeman who was sticking close to Ding Rulong had a dull look in his eyes. He suddenly fell backwards and landed heavily on the ground.
Ding Rulong looked back in shock and saw that he was foaming at the mouth and had fainted.
"Excuse me." Zheng Yubai put away his fist.
"Is this the skill of shooting a bull from across a mountain?" Ding Rulong asked excitedly.
Zheng Yubai nodded: "Indeed, but now is not the time to talk about this, we need to leave here immediately."
Ding Rulong also knew the priorities of the matter. He went back to his room, took a bag, and left the suite with Zheng Yubai and Wu Neng.
After locking the door of the suite, Zheng Yubai said, "They won't wake up within two hours. But I'm worried that the monitoring room won't be able to keep it a secret for too long. We must hurry. Boss Ding, I'll carry you on my back when we go down the stairs."
"I can walk." Ding Rulong said hurriedly.
"It will be faster if I carry you on my back." Zheng Yubai did not allow him to refuse. As he spoke, the three of them had already entered the fire escape. Zheng Yubai carried Ding Rulong on his back without hesitation, and went downstairs quickly with Wu Neng.
Two minutes later, the three of them appeared on the street behind the Sheraton Hotel. It was already eleven o'clock, and the Margaret's on the street was doing a booming business. Half of the street was filled with young men and women smoking and resting, and many people were queuing to get in.
However, the three of them had no intention of joining in the fun. They hurried to the intersection, and Howard's car arrived very punctually.
The three of them got into the car, and Ding Rulong finally breathed a sigh of relief: "We finally escaped."
Zheng Yubai shook his head and said, "Boss Ding, our escape has just begun." (To be continued)
