Chapter 86
Time returned to one minute ago .





“Shut up! Give me that camera!” The supervisor rushed forward to snatch the camera .

When Dong Xuebing did not use BACK in the day, he will practice using it before he sleeps . After practicing for almost a hundred times, he was now used to the uncomfortableness of scenes changing . It took only a blink of an eye for Dong Xuebing to recover . He looked at the supervisor coldly and dodged . He immediately shouted to the few workers who were digging the floor tiles behind the supervisor . “Stop digging! Stop! Stop whatever you are doing!” As Dong Xuebing was shouting to them, he was thinking of a plan . That box was buried under the tiles, and there was no reason the box did not contain any treasure . This was a rare opportunity . But how can I get that box? These people were about to discover the box! Dong Xuebing must think of a way!

The few workers stopped and looked at Dong Xuebing,

“Who do you think you are to ask them to stop?” The supervisor turned and shouted: “Carry on with your work!”

The workers looked at each other and carried on using their shovels to lift the tiles .

That grey stone tile was about to be lifted . Dong Xuebing was anxious and loses focus slightly . The supervisor took this opportunity to snatch the camera from Dong Xuebing . The supervisor tried to delete all the photographs, and Dong Xuebing shout furiously: “You are asking for it!” He suddenly got an idea . He reached into his bag and took out his new work pass and waved it in front of the supervisor . “Do you know how to read? Look at this with your own eyes!”

“What?” The supervisor was about to delete the pictures when he looked up .

It was a black leather card holder . The size was about the same as a driving license . A silver national emblem with the words “Police,” in both English and Mandarin, was printed on the cover . The work pass had Dong Xuebing’s photo, his name, and his appointment . Beijing City State Security Western District Branch Bureau, General Affairs Office Deputy Chief . Of course, Dong Xuebing covered his personal details with his fingers as he held up his pass . He only showed the words “State Security” and “Deputy Chief . ”





The supervisor was stunned: “State Security?”

Dong Xuebing pointed to those workers who were trying to lift up the stone floor tile . “Stop working!”

The workers were afraid that the Supervisor would scold them, and they ignored Dong Xuebing’s orders .

The middle age supervisor recovered from his shock and quickly shouted: “Didn’t you hear what the officer said? Stop whatever you are doing now!”

“Officer?” The workers were confused . Their supervisor was still trying to snatch that young man’s camera, and the next moment, he was calling him an officer? But all of them obeyed and stop working . They dropped their tools . Bang! The stone tile which was lifted about 30 degrees fell back on the ground .

The supervisor rubbed his palms embarrassedly and smiled: “Sir, I’m very sorry . I thought you are a reporter . ”


Dong Xuebing was relieved that he had gotten control of the situation, and he remembered the supervisor’s rude attitude towards him earlier . He was pissed . He did not care if the supervisor was more than 20 years older than him and started scolding him: “Reporter? Can’t you use your brains?! If I am a reporter, will I be taking pictures in front of you? Ah? Also, what’s wrong with reporters? You are allowed to snatch a reporter’s personal belongings? We are living in a law-abiding society! Do you know what you have done is against the law? Ah? Who do you think you are?!”





The supervisor replied with a sullen face: “No, no…… It’s a misunderstanding . ”

Dong Xuebing continued scolding for a while . “…… Camera!”

“Ah…… Here…… I’m very sorry . ” The supervisor quickly returned the digital camera back to Dong Xuebing . He knew the State Security had the most authority . He could not afford to offend anyone from this agency, especially the leaders there . He did not even try to retort or argue . He only wishes Dong Xuebing would leave this place . He did not want to be invited to the bureau for “tea . ”

But Dong Xuebing had no intentions of leaving .

Dong Xuebing brushed off the dust on his clothes and walked over to the workers . “Take a break first . I have some questions for you all . ”

The supervisor who was following behind stared at the workers: “Answer this officer’s questions truthfully . Do you all understand?” He was trembling inside . A State Security Officer was here…… . Was he here to investigate a case or was he here to investigate about me? This should not be . I only harvested some stubborn residents who refused to move out . I did not do anything that compromises national security!

The workers looked at Dong Xuebing .

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat . “Have you all seen a tall man with a dark complexion in his forties around here?”





Everyone shook their heads .

The supervisor was relieved when he know that he was not the one who was being investigated . “Think carefully!”

The workers shook their head again . “We can’t remember . ”

Dong Xuebing continued to pretend: “He is about 1 . 9 m tall and have short hair . ”

“I don’t think so . ” The worker with the northeast accent replied: “We were focusing on doing our work every day and did not notice anyone around here . ”

The supervisor also added: “Sir, I also did not see this person around here . Did he commit any serious crime?” Dong Xuebing ignored him, and that supervisor smiled embarrassedly . “Sorry…… sorry… . . I should not be asking . ”

Dong Xuebing looked at the condition of the floor tiles from the corner of his eyes and moved one step forward . He stopped directly on that stone floor tile . “Ok . All of you carry on with your work . Don’t tell anyone about what I said to you . ”

The Supervisor quickly replied: “Don’t worry . We will not say anything!”

Dong Xuebing nodded and took out his notebook to continue taking down notes for his proposal .

The supervisor looked at Dong Xuebing and wonder why this State Security officer was not leaving? What was he writing? He asked cautiously: “Sir, they are still working, and it is very dusty here . Your clothes will be dirtied . ”

Dong Xuebing did not lift up his head and replied . “It’s fine . I will stay here . ”

The supervisor smiled and looked at his workers . He gestured to them to carry on with their work .

A worker took a spade and looked at the stone tile Dong Xuebing was standing on . He opened his mouth and was about to say something when another worker quickly dragged him away . The workers went to work on another part of the house . They continued to demolish the house .

An hour passed, and Dong Xuebing was still standing there .

Two hours passed . Dong Xuebing still did not leave .

Three hours was gone, and Dong Xuebing was still there .

It was dark, and the supervisor and the workers packed up and left with their tools . Dong Xuebing’s stomach was growling, and his legs and back were aching . He looked around and made sure those workers would not return before removing his feet from the stone floor tile . He quickly ran to a toilet before having dinner at a nearby restaurant .

The opportunity to get rich was here!
