'A woman?' Looking at Xi Long her eyes were deadpan. The instant Wang Jinghua said that she knew that it had nothing to do with her and everything to do with the men in the room. "Seems like its your problem....what women have it against you? Excluding me of course."
Xi Long watched her eyes change and become accusatory against him. He inwardly winced at her sarcastic tone though he couldn't blame her. Everytime they went out to eat together there was some sort of interference involving a woman. To think that he couldn't even trust a female waitress made him want to hit himself let alone let her hit him. Sighing he gave back an exasperated look paired with half a smile before focusing on the problem at hand. He glanced at Zhuang Wei and was met with the same confused expression so he could confirm that there was no immediate suspect. He had lots of enemies, some of them were women of course but it was hard to pinpoint who wanted a recording of him and for what reason. It could also just be someone eyeing the position of Mrs.Han and wanted to blackmail him? So many reasons and potential explanations.
Bending down he sat on the floor next to Ying Yue. He let her keep the knife but took out his gun and directed it at her. There was little doubt that the waitress would lie with a knife against her throat but adding a gun to mix was safer. She wasn't trained so with a gun in her face he could trust her words more.
"How did you know we would be here today?" That was the question he was most curious about, it was not as if they had made any prior plans to come here. For a spur of the moment decision the waitress had been too prepared to capture them on video.
"I..I didn't! She had paid me a couple days prior and said that when you visit to record you. She...she said that you come here often."
"And how did she know to contact you?"
"I don-don't know....she must have seen me leaving work or something. I'm sorry!!" The waitress broke into tears as they flooded down her face. Her eyes screamed of desperation as the anxiety of the situation set in.
"How did she contact you? I need details on the women." Xi Long could care less for her tears, the information she had was more important. He was used to seeing people break down in front of him and held little pity in these situations.
"Through the phone, I got a call from my cell phone from a blocked number. When I picked up it was a strange women asking me to record you when you visit. She promised a lot of money and I don't know anything else!! The camera was dropped off in front of my house in a blank envelope. Please let me go...!!!"
"Hmm I have a feeling that you know more." Turning off the safety lock on his gun, he loaded it and pressed it against her head. "Speak quickly my patience is wearing."
Jinghua's eyes widened in panic. "I don't know anything else!! I promise!! I don't know who it is, she sounded young in her 20s but nothing else. Huuuu please let me go."
"Where's your phone."
"In my pocket!! The left one!!!" The waitress bite her lip and tried to blink away the tears. Xi Long nodded at Ying Yue to grab the phone from her pocket. There was no way he was going to touch her. She stared at him a couple of seconds before reaching over into her pockets. After fiddling a bit she grabbed the phone and pulled it out. Turning it on the lock screen prompted a password. Ying Yue turned the screen towards her face and it automatically unlocked. Going in she changed the settings so it no longer needed a password before throwing it at Xi Long.
Xi Long caught the throw and opened up the phone to check the call directory. Just as the waitress had said there was a blocked number in her history from a few days ago. He didn't have any tools by his side to reverse track the number but he wanted to know who it was quicker.
"How were you supposed to pass the camera on?"
"She didn't say anything about that and just said that she would be in contact. Please I've told you everything I know." Ignoring her pleas he signalled Zhuang Wei to keep her quiet. He stuffed paper in her mouth to muffle her noise. Xi Long had a light suspicion, he clicked the blocked number and pressed redial. The phone successfully started ringing, giving them both a pointed look he held the phone to his ear. It rang several times and he had less hope that someone would pick up. Right before he put the phone down the line clicked on.
"Hello? Have you done it yet?" A woman's voice spoke through the phone, she held a haughty and annoyed down as she spoke. Just by that he could tell that she was from a wealthy background. Nodding at Zhuang Wei, he put the phone on mute before bringing it towards the waitress.
"When I take off mute you will speak accordingly into the phone got it? One wrong move and you die." The waitress responded by nodding her head furiously.
"Well what is it? Why have you not spoken?" The voice rang out again for a second time. Pulling the paper out her mouth he took the phone off mute and put it on speaker.
"Yes....yes I have recorded it. What do I do now?"
"Good...I will tell you how to give the camera soon." Turning the phone back to mute he spoke to the waitress. Tell her that you won't give it unless she comes tonight with more money. That if she does not come you will sell her out to me."
