Explosion in the Hot Spring Resort
Chapter 2809 Explosion in the Hot Spring Resort
In the afternoon, after finishing their tea, everyone dispersed.
Yang Xiaotao and his companion were the last to leave.
In front of the gate, Little Fatty placed a leather bag on the jeep. Sister Zhuo said it was a gift for the child, and Ran Qiuye did not refuse.
Yang Xiaotao whispered something to his uncle.
"Uncle, I'll arrange for a few people to stay here."
"No need. The people you arranged last time were the ones I sent back."
The uncle refused outright, saying, "This is Beijing, in broad daylight, under the clear sky. I don't believe they would dare to do something that would be so outrageous as to offend both gods and men."
Yang Xiaotao insisted, "Uncle, we still need to take precautions just in case."
"no, I'm fine."
"Listen to me on this matter. Oh, and there's someone else I need you to arrange."
The uncle took out a cigarette, and Yang Xiaotao quickly took out a lighter to light it for him, saying, "Please tell me."
"Yang Zhi, you know him, right?"
"Captain Yang?"
Yang Xiaotao thought of that man who made people feel at ease; the last time they met was at the Martyrs' Cemetery.
"He's back from his mission?"
The uncle nodded, "Now that this mission is complete, I'm going to let him rest."
"Don't worry about that, just come to our place."
The uncle nodded, and Yang Xiaotao then thought of the others, "What about Stone Monkey and the others?"
The uncle took a deep drag on his cigarette. "Those few still have missions in Persia."
Yang Xiaotao nodded and then didn't ask any more questions.
"Old Chen did this for your own good."
"You also need to take care of the other departments; you need to understand that."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I know."
"Yes, and also, you need to maintain your current state."
The uncle said seriously, "Don't become arrogant because of your achievements."
“Your internal audit work is very good. We need workers’ self-discipline, but we also need strict management regulations. This is also for the good of the workers.”
Yang Xiaotao nodded again, "Our Ninth Department conducts an internal audit every year, and the requirements for the internal audit will only become more and more stringent in the future."
The uncle was very satisfied with what he heard, and the two exchanged a few more words before ending their conversation.
On the other side, Ran Qiuye finished talking with her family and prepared to leave.
After the car left the alley, Ran Qiuye said excitedly, "Big sister has agreed to establish a middle school."
"They also said they would help solve the teacher's problem."
Yang Xiaotao nodded. "Really? That's great."
"You'd better prepare well now."
Ran Qiuye nodded vigorously, "That's right, middle school is different from elementary school. It needs more experienced teachers. I'll ask the old principal when we get back to the village."
While listening to Ran Qiuye speak, Yang Xiaotao was also distracted by Su Lao's analysis.
If you want to sabotage the deal, you need to target two people.
He and Dawson.
He wasn't worried about himself. Putting aside the surrounding deployments and the situation in Beijing, he also had Xiao Wei and Wang Cai by his side, so he was generally not afraid.
As for Dawson, well, that's hard to say.
Should we try to use our connections to give Dawson a heads-up?
Yang Xiaotao weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and then decided to go back and tell them.
If nothing happens, that's fine, but if you do run into something, you might get some unexpected benefits.
"By the way, Xiaolin and a few others want to go to the school to help out today."
Ran Qiuye suddenly spoke, and Yang Xiaotao snapped out of his daze, "Who? My uncle's family?"
Ran Qiuye nodded, "Yes, they know about the school's situation and want to help."
"Didn't you tell them you were in the countryside?"
"I told them, but they don't care."
Yang Xiaotao looked at the road ahead and then calmly said, "As long as they are willing, I think it's fine."
Upon hearing this, Ran Qiuye nodded.
I agree in my heart; after all, more people means more power.
"Oh, right, wife."
Are you wearing that jade pendant?
Yang Xiaotao suddenly brought up the jade pendant. Ever since Ran Qiuye found her mother's family with the jade pendant, she had locked it in a cabinet. Hearing Yang Xiaotao mention it, she immediately shook her head and said, "No."
"what happened?"
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "I'll wear it tomorrow."
"What?"
Ran Qiuye was puzzled, but Yang Xiaotao stared at her bulging chest for a moment, then smiled smugly, "It looks even better with it on."
Ran Qiuye glanced down, then reached out and twisted Yang Xiaotao's arm hard, "All you ever do is rummage around."
He said that, but in his heart he was thinking that he would wear it that night.
Edo, the island of Wa (Japan).
Inside the heavy, rustic wooden building, milky white mist seeped from the doors and windows, pattering against the red lanterns under the eaves and making their red glow hazy.
A slightly astringent sulfurous smell mixed with the aroma of vanilla spread in all directions as the mist dissipated, making the Japanese island men guarding the area envious.
In the hot spring, a group of men and women, wrapped in bath towels, sat, stood, lay, or sprawled in the spacious bath, each with a different appearance and expression.
Several people huddled together, talking quietly, and then letting out soft laughter.
The men here all speak a Western language, while the women speak with a local accent. The laughter of different languages mixed with the sound of flowing water creates a unique scene.
At this moment, Dawson, or rather Jonard who had regained his identity, lay in the slightly hot bath, letting his body soak in the hot spring to relieve his fatigue.
This is a 'relaxation' place specially prepared for these 'elites of the United States'.
Although it's a bit more expensive than a regular hot spring, the service you get here is definitely worth the price.
All the Japanese women who come to the hot spring to provide services are carefully selected.
There are age, height and weight requirements, and you also need to go to the hospital for tests. If a disease is found, you will be immediately removed.
That's why they, the people of the United States, frequent this place.
There were no fewer than ten such hot springs throughout Edo.
Dawson is also a veteran in this field.
But Dawson, watching the graceful figures with towels rolled up and walking past him, creating ripples in the water, felt no interest whatsoever.
"Oh, isn't this our Mr. Jonard?"
"I heard you closed a big deal? How big exactly? Hundreds of millions or billions?"
"Hey Joe, say something."
"Oh my god, Joe, did you get a bad experience after your trip to China?"
"I've heard that the men there are very strong."
A mocking voice came from the side. Jonard covered his face with a towel and knew who was speaking without even looking.
Philip.
Peer.
The two knew each other when they were young, and that's when they became rivals.
I came to Japan this time because I heard about the island's real estate policies, and now I'm bringing a lot of money to invest.
And most of the others present did the same.
To them, the Japanese islands are now a piece of fat meat; whoever gets a bite will be rolling in it.
As for what the future holds, they don't care about the lives or deaths of the Japanese islanders.
Hearing Philip's teasing, Dawson retorted irritably, "Philip, if you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth."
"Even if I give you ten minutes' head start, I'll still be better than you."
As soon as Dawson finished cursing, laughter erupted from all around. "Haha, Joe, everyone knows what you're capable of, but you're completely useless!"
The people around him burst into laughter, and Philip even opened his bath towel to the woman walking by, revealing his dark chest hair, and howled.
The woman, instead of running away, knelt happily in the water and nestled obediently in his arms.
Philip nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Dawson beside him, "Are Chinese women really that amazing?"
"Have you turned our brave and fearless Mr. Jonard into a coward?"
Shhhhhhh~~
Dawson ignored the surrounding chatter and let his body immerse itself in the hot spring to relieve his fatigue.
Since leaving China, he had been constantly on the go for the trade, and hadn't even had a full night's sleep. But the thought of the money that was about to be in his hands filled him with energy.
Most of the goods are now ready, and the rest are being prepared.
"This trip must have cost at least a hundred million!"
No, there will be more!
Thinking of the reward for completing the task and the smooth road ahead, a victor's smile appeared on his face beneath the towel.
Wow
Suddenly, I heard the sound of flowing water beside me, and then I felt someone approaching.
It's a woman!
Dawson remained motionless, lying on his back in the pool, letting the woman do as she pleased.
This is a common scene.
Even the softest, most decadent music could be heard from not far away…
"Sir, you are very strong!"
The woman beside him spoke softly, her voice slightly stiff.
Dawson could tell at a glance that the woman was probably not very old.
Young women possess a unique vitality that is a deadly poison to middle-aged men.
In the past, Dawson loved this kind of energy the most.
Therefore, he was willing to fight poison with poison.
But right now, I simply don't have the energy for it.
Just as Dawson was about to decline, Philip mocked him again, "Joe, you're not really going to fail, are you!"
"If that's the case, I still have a bag of Chinese miracle medicine."
"However, if even the miraculous medicines of China can't save you, then you're doomed..."
As he spoke, Philip's female companion screamed in response, and Dawson ripped the towel off his face and threw it at her.
"Shut up, you piece of shit. Only a pathetic guy like you who can't lift his head needs that damn magic drug."
"Keep it for yourself, you poor clown."
Philip held up his towel, then whistled, "Look! He's angry, Joe's angry!"
He then looked at Dawson, his tone chilling, and said, "Bullshit."
"If you're a man, come and have a contest!"
"Let's see who the pathetic clown really is."
ooh ooh
Hearing this, the people around watched with amusement, splashing water even more, making the steam in the bathtub even thicker.
Philip slapped his female companion on the buttocks, making a mocking sound.
The men in the bathhouse screamed, and some even raised their hands to block the way.
Then we await the next exciting development.
Seeing this, Dawson turned his head and glanced at the woman who had taken the initiative to approach him.
The woman was a typical Japanese woman, less than 1.5 meters tall, wearing a bath towel, her long, wet hair draped over her shoulders, and she looked at him with a radiant smile.
Dawson looked around; at this moment, there was no way out.
He pulled the woman beside him aside; she was both startled and expectant.
In the upcoming matches, if she performs well and helps the team win, she will receive a substantial tip.
Then, it will be able to help pay off the family's mortgage.
Just as the woman was waiting for the match to begin, and as the people around her were looking on with anticipation, footsteps came from outside the hot spring. Then a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes strode in. Upon seeing Dawson, he immediately grabbed Dawson's arm and said, "Sir, please leave here immediately."
"who are you?"
Dawson was startled, not understanding what the other person meant.
But the person who arrived was in a hurry and didn't care about the current situation, saying directly, "You are in danger now!"
After saying that, he pulled Dawson out of the hot spring, threw him a towel, and dragged him out.
Dawson tried to resist, but the other person was about to become huge, and his arm was being pulled painfully. In addition, the other person's words left him at a loss, so he could only follow the other person and run outside.
Of course, the bath towel in her hand still covered her buttocks.
The people in the hot spring were curious, but also somewhat disappointed.
Philip scoffed, "A despicable trick!"
The others realized what was happening and burst into laughter.
Some even went directly to where Dawson had been, ready to continue the match.
The hot spring became even more lively in an instant.
Dawson was pulled out of the hot spring, and the cold wind made him shiver.
Who exactly are you?
Dawson was freezing and his speech was somewhat stammering.
But the person who came simply pushed him into the car, and at that moment he was a little scared.
The other person's behavior gave him a bad feeling.
Before he could even begin to resist, the cold touch made him freeze instantly.
"Get in the car quickly, I don't have time to nag you."
Dawson didn't dare to resist and got into the car.
The car started moving the next second.
Just as Dawson was feeling anxious and scared, a violent explosion came from behind him.
The car then lurched, but fortunately the driver was skilled enough to stabilize it and then sped off wildly.
Dawson turned back to look at the hot spring pool, which had been intact just moments before, his face turning deathly pale.
If I were still there, then…
Death without a whole body!
"We were sent by Mr. Kate!"
"He received information that someone is plotting against you..."
The person spoke softly, and Dawson broke out in a cold sweat.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome."
After saying that, Dawson sat in the car, his face still pale.
They drove in silence until the car finally stopped in front of a villa.
Not long after, Dawson changed his clothes and then picked up the phone to express his gratitude.
"Kate, thank you, thank you for saving me!"
Dawson's mind was still filled with the image of the exploding photograph.
A house was suddenly blown to pieces.
The white vapor was mixed with red liquid.
And the people inside…
He knew he wouldn't survive if he were inside.
"Joe, I'm so glad you're alright."
"Who is Kate?"
Dawson lowered his voice, his face contorted with rage.
There was a moment of silence on the phone, then he said, "I received the message from Faisal."
"And he..."
"The information must have come from China."
Dawson's expression turned serious. He wasn't stupid; he immediately understood the meaning behind the words.
It must have been Huaxia that sensed the crisis, which is why they called to warn him.
"Joe, you need to be careful during this time."
"Of course, I will also arrange for people to protect you."
"I see!"
I left the window open while I slept last night, and as a result, my nose was stuffy when I woke up this morning. I haven't had much energy all day. I took some cold medicine tonight and plan to go to bed early.
Just letting you all know, this is the only chapter tonight.
I'm so sorry!
