Chapter 620: The Line Between Life and Death (Part 2)
Chapter 620 The thin line between life and death (Part 2)
He Qing and Lin Haitao drove non-stop for more than six hours heading west. It was not until about eight o'clock in the evening that they stopped in a small town and stayed in a relatively remote hotel next to the highway.
.
While eating, He Qing asked: "Axing, is this the closest road to the desert area of Loulan Ancient City?"
Brother Xing nodded and said: "Yes, the nearest one is from here to Gansu. It is easier to walk. Almost the whole journey is a highway. But when you leave Gansu, you have to go through the Gobi Desert. The roads in those places are not easy to walk. It takes time to update
A little longer.”
"How long does it take to reach the destination?" He Qing asked again.
Brother Xing replied: "It takes more than sixty hours to take a train from the capital of Shu to Kashgar, Xinjiang. If you also include a day or two to get to the Loulan ancient city ruins, it will take at least five days or even a week. After all,
The vast desert is not like the mainland. There are no landmarks and it is difficult to find places. Sometimes if you go in the wrong direction, it will take a long time. But we have been there several times, so we should not get lost and take shortcuts.
It should be reachable within days.”
"Five days is indeed not a short time, but since I have decided to go, I have to go and have a look no matter how far away it is." He Qing said thoughtfully.
"Well, don't worry, with us leading the way, nothing will go wrong." Brother Xing said solemnly.
"Brother Qing, should we continue on our way later or rest here first?" Lin Haitao asked.
He Qing replied: "Let's have a good rest first. It's too late to rush. It's not good to drive when you are tired. It's not too late to rush tomorrow after you have rested."
"Well, that's better." Lin Haitao nodded.
After eating, they each returned to their rooms to rest.
However, they didn't know at this moment that in the same hotel, in a guest room not far away, a young man was secretly calling people to report the situation.
"Mr. Kuang, we are now staying in the same hotel as Lao K and his group." The man said softly.
A middle-aged man's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Very good! Keep an eye on them, don't let them escape."
"They didn't realize it." The man raised his eyebrows slightly and said with some pride. "By the way, Mr. Kuang, their car is parked in the garage. Everything you need should be there. Is it better to do it first or wait for something better?"
Chance?"
Mr. Kuang quickly objected: "The time is not ripe now. It is not appropriate to take action! They are not ordinary people. Especially the young boss. He is very powerful. If you can't get anything, you will alert the snake. Once you alert them,
Then it will be difficult to get the things. Don't do anything now, just keep an eye on me. The people sent from behind will follow soon. Wait for reinforcements to arrive and then wait for orders."
"I understand, Mr. Kuang!" the man agreed quickly.
In the compartment, He Qing woke up from his nightmare when he slept in a daze until midnight. He became more and more awake after that and could no longer fall asleep.
After sitting in the room for a while, he got dressed, walked out of the room and knocked on the door of Lin Haitao's guest room next door.
"Brother Qing, why are you awake so early?" Lin Haitao was surprised when he opened the door and found He Qing standing in front of the door.
He Qing said in a deep voice: "I had a nightmare just now. I dreamed that many killers were chasing us in order to snatch the treasures in our hands. Now my right eye is twitching violently, and I have a strong ominous feeling.
.”
"It's just a dream, it's not true." Lin Haitao smiled bitterly, "I think you are mainly worried about those babies. But I think you are overly worried. We are very safe now. Why are there so many killers following behind?
"
He Qing shook his head gently and said: "It is not without hidden dangers that we are transporting these treasures now. The golden coffin was snatched from the hands of Mr. Kuang and his gang of Japanese cultural relics smugglers.
After taking away the huge amount of money they used to purchase the golden coffin, I think they will definitely not give up. They just want to send people to find ways to track us down, and then snatch the treasure away at all costs!"
Lin Haitao nodded and said: "Yes, there is a big boss behind Mr. Kuang who didn't show up. If we robbed his money, he will definitely come to settle the score with us. Hey, we shouldn't have let go of Mr. Kuang and his gang in the first place."
, so even if I want to find us behind the scenes, I won’t be able to find out.”
He Qing said: "It won't work if we don't let them go. Is it possible to kill people and silence them? This matter cannot be known to the people in the cultural relics department, so we cannot choose to call the police and hand them over to the police. If a man dares to take responsibility, they
Come just as you come, the soldiers will cover up the water and the earth, no matter who the person is! Hai Tao, we just have to be careful and don't let them take advantage of it."
"Well, just watch those treasures carefully." Lin Haitao nodded in agreement.
He Qing then said: "I can't sleep now, so I'd better go to the garage and look at the car."
"I'll go too." Lin Haitao said. He immediately put on his coat and walked to the garage with He Qing to guard the treasure in the car.
After a while, He Qing took Lin Haitao to the parking place of the hotel. It was very quiet in the garage. The few cars they drove were placed there quietly. There was nothing abnormal. Naturally, there were no signs of being touched.
.
Lin Haitao smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Qing, are you overthinking it? Is there someone following us to steal your treasure? No one except us knows what is in the car."
He Qing said: "It doesn't exist now, but that doesn't mean there won't exist later. If you don't fear ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. It's better to be careful."
"That's true." Lin Haitao said, "Then let's stay in the car for the rest of the night. That way you should be able to relax."
He Qing nodded and said: "I can't sleep in my room anyway, so it's better to stay here."
With that said, the two of them got into He Qing's Range Rover. Although the surroundings were quiet and it didn't look like someone was following the stolen treasure, it still made people feel much more at ease standing next to the treasure.
But I stayed there until about four o'clock in the morning, when I was lying on the steering wheel and beginning to doze off. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a car approaching from outside the garage. The car came very quickly. In the blink of an eye, I was outside the garage.
"Someone is coming!" Slightly startled, He Qing gently pushed Lin Haitao, who had fallen asleep.
Lin Haitao woke up from his sweet dream and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?! Brother Qing, what happened?!"
He Qing whispered: "Someone is here, the car is parked outside the garage."
"Is someone here?" Lin Haitao asked in surprise, "Is it a suspicious person?"
He Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know, but there might be something wrong with coming to this hotel so late."
Lin Haitao pricked up his ears and listened to the sound of the car's engine starting outside the garage, then he smiled indifferently and said: "Brother Qing, you are too nervous. You are too sensitive. It's just a guest passing by.
It's just a hotel stay, it has nothing to do with us, right? Otherwise, why would it take so long to catch up?"
He Qing said: "I know, but... I don't know why, I always feel that they have bad intentions."
As he spoke, he gently opened the car door and walked out.
Lin Haitao also followed and quietly stepped out of the car.
At this time, the car outside the garage stalled. There was no sound, and no one's voice was heard.
He Qing motioned to Lin Haitao to be silent, and then walked quietly towards the garage door.
Soon he walked behind the door. Through the crack of the door, under the dim light, he saw a huge off-road vehicle parked beside the door.
There were no people walking around the car, and He Qing was sure that no one was getting off the car, which meant that the people in the car had not gotten off yet.
"There must be something wrong!" Seeing this, He Qing felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. There might be something wrong with the people in the car. Otherwise, why would the car be pulled over and there would be no movement?
After about four or five minutes, there was no movement among the people in the car. Four people were seen walking out one after another, each holding a large bag in their hands.
Although the light was dim and it was difficult to see clearly the true faces of the four people in Lushan, it was clear that they were all young men, and each of them was dressed very strangely. One of the tallest men actually wore a braid that looked up to the sky, which was typical.
"non-mainstream".
After the four people walked down, they turned and walked towards the main entrance of the hotel, presumably to book a room.
"Brother Qing, those four people feel weird." After the four people walked away, Lin Haitao couldn't help but speak.
He Qing nodded and said softly: "Yes, it's very strange and very suspicious!"
Lin Haitao said: "You mean, those four people might have come after us, and they want to catch the baby in the car?"
He Qing muttered: "It's hard to say now, but it's not impossible. Hai Tao, we must be extremely vigilant. I feel that those four guys are not ordinary people. If they are really coming after us, they may be strong opponents."
"Could it be the killer sent by Mr. Kuang?" Lin Haitao asked.
He Qing said: "It's a bit similar, but I find it strange that our operation is so secretive. No one knows the itinerary except a few of us. How did they know about it?"
Lin Haitao said: "It's possible that someone was following them in front of them, but we didn't notice it, or maybe... maybe Uncle Pang and the others were secretly informing them, playing the Infernal Affairs trick!"
He Qing shook his head and said: "No, Uncle Pang and the others have no reason to betray me, and they don't dare to."
"Then there is only one possibility. Someone has tracked us a long time ago, and then sent a message to lure the killer to snatch the treasure." Lin Haitao analyzed, "Brother Qing, there may be a professional killer targeting us now, what should we do?
?”
He Qing said: "Fortunately, they don't know that we have monitored their whereabouts here. It's good to be prepared, but even if we do it, we can't do it in a place like this. It will do no good to anyone if we alert the police. Haitao,
We will wake up Ah Xing and the others immediately, let them take action, and prepare to drive away while they are not paying attention. It would be best to get rid of them."
"Okay, I'll call them right away." Lin Haitao nodded solemnly.
After saying that, he quietly sneaked back to the guest room to wake up Uncle Pang and the others.
He Qing also went to wake Ling'er up.
Not long after, they gathered in the garage.
Then they started driving together and drove all night.
I originally thought that I could get rid of the person who was secretly following me, but who knew that not long after the car drove out, two cars followed quickly, one of which was the off-road vehicle.
"They are indeed the killers sent by the Japanese!" After seeing it, He Qing was secretly shocked. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
