Ice is not averse to deception

Tiger immediately became alert when he saw someone walk out of 301, but the person who came out was not Sun Bing, but a man with a wide arm and a tall stature who looked like he could fight.

Liu Qiang had trained in Taekwondo and was even a black belt, so he was naturally much taller than Tiger and his gang of thugs who were all talk and no action and had little actual combat experience.

It was precisely because of this imposing aura that when Liu Qiang passed by Tiger, Tiger didn't even dare to ask if Sun Bing was in the room.

All he could think about was that if Sun Bing really hired such a bodyguard, it would be quite difficult to handle.

Fortunately, the younger brother next to him was eager to show off and stepped forward.

He first offered Liu Qiang a cigarette, then politely asked, "Hey buddy, can I borrow a light?"

Liu Qiang was much more open-minded than before, and directly took out a lighter: "Take this and use it."

"Judging from your voice, you're from Harbin too?"

"Fellow villagers?" Liu Qiang asked with delight. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here on someone's behalf to find someone. Do you know Sun Bing? He runs a seal-making shop in Bingcheng."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiang also became cautious, sizing up the man and thinking that he might be one of Sun Bing's clients who made seals. Not wanting Sun Bing to succeed, he smiled and said, "I know him. I came to Yanji for him."

That makes sense now; sure enough, this person is Sun Bing's bodyguard.

To find out more about Liu Qiang, the henchman continued, "I heard you practicing boxing in the room just now? You've practiced before?"

Mentioning this, Liu Qiang's sense of honor instantly surged, and he immediately pulled out a photo from his phone to show the man: "Taekwondo black belt, I'm not bragging, with your build, seven or eight people couldn't take me down."

The man's face instantly darkened; he felt his pride had been severely challenged, but he dared not retaliate in the slightest.

He even thought Liu Qiang was a bit of a genius. They hadn't even revealed their identities, yet Liu Qiang had already sensed the danger? So professional?

Before the man could speak again, Liu Qiang, unable to contain himself, blurted out, "Today I also helped the police catch some bad guys. I took down seven or eight drug dealers in that abandoned factory in the south of the city."

This is an experience that not everyone can have, and Liu Qiang couldn't wait to brag about it to everyone he met.

It was because of today's experience that Liu Qiang felt his fighting spirit awakened, and he started practicing boxing as soon as he returned to the hotel.

Now, the tigers were even more unsettled.

really.

Sun Bing was indeed playing a trick on them, deliberately leading them to the abandoned factory in the south of the city. Now that I think about it, Sun Bing probably intended to attack Tiger and his gang in that empty factory.

After all, this black belt guy in front of them is capable of taking on six or seven people at once.

Having finished showing off, Liu Qiang went downstairs to buy things, satisfied. Tiger and the others, however, were at a loss for what to do.

Should they rush in and grab Sun Bing?

These bodyguards are not easy for them to handle. If a fight breaks out, it's hard to say who will have the upper hand.

go?

That would definitely not be acceptable in terms of appearances.

After hesitating for a while, Tiger finally came up with a strategy: have his underlings stay at their posts and make their move when Sun Bing goes out alone, which would save a lot of trouble.

Just now, Sun Bing was woken up by his phone alarm. He turned over, turned off his phone, and went back to sleep, completely unaware that a crisis was brewing in the hallway outside the door.

Sun Bing squinted at the digital watch on the table. He thought about getting up to eat something, but his tired body made him feel exhausted. After hesitating for a while, he went back to sleep.

"Brother Tiger, why don't we fight him? There are six or seven of us, we don't need to be afraid of him. What kind of Taekwondo black belt is he? I think he's nothing but bullshit," one of the henchmen said, approaching Tiger.

The tiger was furious. He had already acted cowardly enough, and this was just rubbing salt into his wounds.

He slapped his underling on the head: "Is all you know how to do is use your fists? Can't you use your brain? You want to go back to jail? This is Yanji, even I can't save you if you really go in."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Tiger called his henchmen together: "That guy from earlier, didn't he look familiar? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

The younger brothers felt the same way, but couldn't think of anything at the moment.

Just as everyone was wondering, one of the underlings suddenly remembered something and squeezed in front of Tiger, excitedly saying, "Brother Tiger, I remember now, that person is Liu Qiang, the runner-up in the Taekwondo competition two years ago. We even watched that competition."

As soon as the younger brother mentioned it, the tiger instantly remembered.

These gangsters, though perhaps not exceptionally skilled in martial arts, almost all share common interests: playing billiards, singing, and watching boxing matches.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that Liu Qiang's claim that he could handle seven or eight people by himself was not an exaggeration.

Thinking about this, Tiger became even more certain that he could only outsmart Sun Bing this time, not confront him head-on. If he were to have a direct confrontation with Liu Qiang, he, as the leader, would probably be the first to embarrass himself.

Tiger is fine for scaring his underlings, but when he really runs into a master like Liu Qiang, Tiger is no match for him.

After all, they are professionals.

With a hint of humiliation, Tiger and his gang settled into the hotel. However, since there were no rooms available on the third floor, they had to stay on the second floor. To keep an eye on Sun Bing, Tiger's henchmen took turns standing guard at the stairwell, looking more like security guards than actual gangsters.

Sun Bing was still sleeping, Liu Ruo was still heartbroken, and Tiger couldn't help but sigh. He never expected that Sun Bing, a mere nobody, would have such a powerful backer, even hiring bodyguards.

Tiger truly understood what it meant to be caught in a dilemma. If he returned to Ice City now, he would be ridiculed to death by his peers, and he would never be able to establish his authority in front of his underlings again.

Just as I was feeling frustrated, my younger brother suddenly brought me news that a group of police officers had entered the hotel.

Tiger tensed up instantly, thinking the other party was after him. He berated his underlings, but when he saw that they didn't do anything too extreme, he relaxed.

"Boss, those cops went to 301."

Upon hearing his underling's report, Tiger thought Sun Bing had done something wrong and immediately went out to watch the commotion.

The lead police officer was a woman, and she was holding some kind of certificate or something; she didn't look like she was arresting anyone.

Because Sun Bing and Wu Dayong helped the police successfully arrest key members of the drug trafficking network, Cai Yan came specifically to give them a reward.

The certificate came with a bonus of 5,000 yuan. Since the case is still under investigation, the specific reward will have to wait until the case is concluded. This 5,000 yuan was an advance bonus that the team specifically applied for for Sun Bing.

Cai Yan only knew that Sun Bing was staying at this hotel but did not know the specific room number. However, based on the hotel's registration information, Cai Yan quickly found room 301.

Upon entering and seeing the bright red certificate of honor in Cai Yan's hand, Liu Qiang became excited, thinking that his heroic performance that day had successfully won over the people's police. He greeted her with a smile.

"Officer Cai, I didn't really do anything. I just punched that monkey guy to the ground and helped you catch a drug dealer. These are minor things. There's no need to give me any certificates or anything like that. This...this is too much..."

Liu Qiang said this, but his hand unconsciously reached for the certificate. However, before he could finish speaking, Cai Yan's next words turned Liu Qiang's smile into embarrassment.

"You've misunderstood. We're here to deliver a certificate to Sun Bing. We were able to successfully dismantle this drug trafficking organization thanks to Sun Bing."

Hearing this, Liu Ruo temporarily recovered from her disappointment and approached Cai Yan to ask her what had happened.

From being mistaken for a drug addict by the monkey man to Sun Bing's long hesitation before finally agreeing to cooperate with the police to complete the arrest.

Cai Yan told Liu Ruo and the others the whole story.

After hearing what had happened, Liu Ruo found it unbelievable. In her memory, apart from the day Xiao Ni went missing, she had never seen Sun Bing so brave.

"Officer Cai, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Liu Ruo couldn't help but ask.

"How could that be? Weren't you all here today?"

Upon hearing Cai Yan's words, Liu Ruo and Liu Qiang were immediately filled with lingering fear. Only now did they realize that what they had encountered today was not some ordinary criminal, but a drug dealer!

They were already so terrified without knowing anything about it, which shows how much struggle Sun Bing went through before making this decision.

"Where's Sun Bing? He's not here?"

Just as Cai Yan was about to state her intentions, Sun Xiaoni suddenly tensed up. One Liu Qiang was already enough to keep her busy; if Officer Cai and her team were to intervene, finding Sun Bing would be a piece of cake.

"So, Brother Bing is a hero?"

Sun Xiaoni ran up to Cai Yan in one stride, interrupting Cai Yan while constantly giving her meaningful glances.
