Chapter 717: They have gone back?!

Cheng Hai Hotel.

General Manager Office.

Dong Xuebing looks at Chang Dajin’s State Security identification card with a smile. Chang Dajin and that man in suit are frowning, as they know Chang Dajin had always kept this identification card on him all the time. When did this young man take it without his knowledge?

“Why is my identification card with you?!” Chang Dajin shouted.

“I picked it up from the floor.” Dong Xuebing replied with a shrugged.

Chang Dajin reached out. “I am saying this once. Return it to me!”

Dong Xuebing laughed and looked at Chang Dajin. “I will also say this once. I am not interested in this useless identification card.” He looked at the card’s back and threw it on Chang Dajin’s desk. “I finally know why you are not afraid. It is because of this identification card. But Chang Dajin, Mr. Chang…. You think too highly of yourself. Do you think you can do whatever you want with this thing? Stop kidding me.”

Chang Dajin kept the identification card and looked at Dong Xuebing. “Hmph! Do you think this card is fake?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “It is not fake, but it is useless.”

“Oh?” Chang Dajin laughed. “Then tell me about how it is useless.”

Dong Xuebing looks at Chang Dajin. “Mr. Chang, are you trying to feign ignorance? This thing might fool others but not me.” He points at him. “You can look at the serial number of your card. The first few numbers are the region code, which is correct. But the rest of the numbers…. Haha…. I can tell you what it means if you don’t know about this. Hebei Province’s State Security serial numbers are between 300 to 399. Why do you have a number that is not within this range? Even the State Security Bureau doesn’t have such numbers.”

Chang Dajin got shocked. He had heard others talking about the identification card serial numbers, but not in such detail. How does this young man know about it?

Dong Xuebing continues. “But the anti-counterfeit features of this card are legit. Hmmm…. If I am not wrong, this is at most an associate identification card.”

Dong Xuebing had worked in the State Security Bureau before and knew about serial numbers in the identification cards.

There are three types of people in the State Security. The first type is the ones doing the administrative work, which Dong Xuebing did previously.” The second type is the ones in the field doing intelligence gathering. The third type is the associates. This is how the State Security Bureau calls them internally. These people are the informants and sponsors for the State Security. In exchange, the local State Security Bureau will offer some assistance. These people are only recognizable by the local State Security, and once they leave the region, they are not recognized. After all, their names are not registered in the system.

Dong Xuebing looks at Chang Dajin. “Don’t use the State Security to scare me. This identification card might be useful in the City, but it is useless in other areas. You are not even registered in the State Security Bureau system, and you want to threaten me?! Who gives you the right to do that?!”

Chang Dajin asked. “Who are you?!”

“You don’t know me and don’t need to know.” Dong Xuebing replied. “I don’t care if you work for the State Security and install hidden cameras. But I have to step in because you abused your authority and used the video recordings to target another person. You should know what I am talking about! Shouldn’t you give me an explanation for the DVD you sent to me this morning?!”

Chang Dajin frowned. “DVD? What DVD?”

Dong Xuebing got mad. “My patience is limited. If you still want to play the fool, go ahead. But I suggest you better think it through.”

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Chang Dajin answered. “He is in my office. Let them come up.”

The man in suit looks at Chang Dajin and knows the State Security Bureau officers arrived.

Chang Dajin looks at Dong Xuebing. He knows this young man is a nobody, but he can’t be bothered to find out his background. He will let the State Security handle it. This guy had beaten up the security guards and created trouble for him in his office. The State Security Officers will deal with him.

Dong Xuebing continued as if nothing had happened. “Mr. Chang, I am talking to you now.”

Chang Dajin calmly replied. “Save your breath for the State Security Officers. I am not interested in talking to you, and I don’t know anything about the DVD you mentioned. I only know you had stolen my identification card and beat up our security guards. You had obstructed our Hotel’s cooperation with the State Security.”

Old bastard!

You are asking for it.

Dong Xuebing nodded and asked. “Are they here?”

“Make a guess.” Chang Dajin laughed.

Dong Xuebing took out his phone and called Xu Yan.

“Xiao Dong.” Xu Yan laughed. “What is it?”

Dong Xuebing said in front of Chang Dajin. “Sister Xu, did your side send someone to Dong Hai District’s Cheng Hai Hotel?”

“Cheng Hai Hotel? I think so. It should be Director Wu who is bringing his men there. Did something happen?”

“I am here and have some issues with the Hotel’s staff. I can handle this by myself. Can you ask that Director Wu go back?”

“You brat…. Can’t you stop creating trouble for one day?”

“Sigh…. It’s not….”

“Alright. I know about it.”

“Thanks, Sister Xu.”

“Ok. I will call him now.”

Dong Xuebing hung up and lit a cigarette.

Chang Dajin and the man in the suit were surprised when they heard Dong Xuebing’s conversation over that phone call. They don’t know who he called, but he is overbearing. Who do you think the State Security Bureau is? Do you think you can command them as if you own them?!

A few moments later, the hotel staff called Chang Dajin’s office.

Chang Dajin answered and frowned. He heard something unbelievable. “What did you say?! The State Security Bureau Officers had gone back?!”

The man in a suit is shocked too.

Cold sweat starts to form on Chang Dajin’s back. He immediately knows he has met someone he cannot afford to offend today.
