She took his his papers and looked them over nodding slowly. He had everything he needed but she was having an uneasy feeling about him still. she didn't trust him because the thought that was running through her mind was: he looks wrong? Why would he look wrong though? They had never met one another until now and she was unsure of who he was anyway; he just seemed familiar. She took a deep breath and handed him the paper back before the file. "That's what's in the file on the box. I don't need to fill you in. I like that. Those files there are the personnel files including mine. Take a look through them and separate the ones you find suspicious. I'm not going to hide it from you. I think it's an inside job."<br/>.....<br/><br/>"...inside job." Wuqing wheeled in on her own accord. No one was pushing her nor was she pushing herself.<br/><br/>"Wuqing, you really think it was an inside job?" Tieshou asked.<br/><br/>"Wuqing always thinks it's an inside job." Zhiming said after gulping down his cup of wine.<br/><br/>"I don't always think it's an inside job." She retorted. "I know it's an inside job, Zhiming. It was your job to gather information last night at Jiu Niang's place but you got yourself into a drinking contest. It's a good thing i was there reading minds."<br/><br/>"Did you even hear what he said to me?" Zhuiming sat forward. "He seriously challenged me to a drinking contest. How could I refuse." He poured himself another cup. "We got the information didn't we. That's what matters."<br/><br/>"You could have done you're job though Zhuiming." Lengxie perked up walking into the room. he stopped behind Wuqing and patted her on the shoulder. "You're hunch was right, Wuqing. It looks like the exchange will happen at noon today in the market place."<br/><br/>"We should stroke while the iron it hot." Tieshou said.<br/><br/>"What's the plan, Lengxie, gege (big brother)?" Wuqing asked.<br/><br/>"Zhuiming, Tieshou and myself shall take the east, west and north exists of the market place. We don't need to cover the south end as Shen Hou Fu is here. You and Ling'er go through the market as usual and just make sure they don't make a run for it."<br/><br/>"And if he does, Lengxie?" She asked already turning her chair around.<br/><br/>"Then he;s all yours Wuqing meimei (little sister)."<br/><br/>The four depiuties of Shen Hou Fu were already in place before the exchange was about to go down. Wuquing and Ling'er, a junior deputy and another female were busy looking at some jewelry on the far side of where the exchange was to take place. Wuqing was capable of talking care of herself but they always played it safe and used her to bait those that did not know. She appeared to be helpless but she was one of their strongest assets. Ling'er was her personal favorite junior deputy and the two girls were pretty close, like sisters.<br/><br/>"What do you think about this hairpin?" Ling'er asked.<br/><br/>"For you dear?" Wuqing answered, "it's suits you."<br/><br/>"No, for you Wuqing, jiejie (older sister)" Ling'er said.<br/><br/>Wuquing shook her head no. "It's too fancy, Ling'er. I have no use for things like that."<br/><br/>"I swear the more time you spend with the three of them the more you forget you are a woman and that you should be looking for a husband."<br/><br/>Wuqing scoffed. "Ling'er after you and all the others marry I will still be a deputy of Shen Hou Fu. You don't have to worry about me. No one wants a cripple. Now hush. It's starting."<br/><br/>She didn't mean to be so cold towards Ling'er but it was the truth. She'd been crippled since her childhood incident and she had no expectations of ever finding a husband. Love and marriage were no in her cards and she accepted that. She was content to be who she was and to work as a deputy in Shen Hou Fu her entire life. She pushed the thoughts aside and watched the exchange through the eyes of the sparrow that was perched in the tree above the group. The two men were looking left and right trying to see of any one was watching them. Wuqing herself was busy staring at accessories and everyone else was oblivious. Teshou was sitting in the west pretending to enjoy a bowl of noodles, Zhuiming was in the east checking out a wine vendor and Lengxie was in the North bringing the two thieves their tea. The minute the thieve exchanged the stolen heirloom, Lengxie reached out and grabbed one of them. The other one, the one that had the heirloom in the first place took off in Tiehshous's direction. Tieshou's jumped up abandoning the bowl of noodles and stood his ground. The two of exchanged a few exchanges and then the thief jumped over Tieshou after knocking him down, which was a surprise to him. As the thief took off Zhuiming took of after him and the swallow followed. Wuqing and Ling'er went up to Tieshou first and together they joined Lengxie, who was questioning the other thief. Lengxie handed the heirloom to Tieshou.<br/><br/>"Tian di ah!" (Literal: Oh lord. What she meant was for fuck sakes!) Wuqing cried out and shook her head. "Ling'er you go home now. Tieshou come with me."<br/><br/>He knew better than to argue with her and as they made there way out of the market and out to where she knew Zhuiming was rounding the thief back she was giving him instructions in his head. The three of them was going to cut the thief off. She miss calculated that the thief would somehow be more stronger than Zhuiming and Tieshou. By the time she saw Zhuming gege come flying her way it was almost too late. using all her might she caught him right before he came smashing into her and sat him down. The thief was beating Tieshou punch for punch and Zhuiming got right back in the fight rounding up on him. Using her mind and the hidden projectiles Wuqing attacked him as well. Just when they were going to corner him, as their luck would have it, a child walked right in his path and he grabbed the kid who began to cry. Wuqing lost her control and hot him with all the might of her mind smashing him through the wall of the building and right into the other wall of the classroom. She wheeled herself in towards him and took the kid from him who remained unharmed. The kid ran into the arms of his teacher, a young man who sated at her.<br/><br/>"Sorry, sorry." Zhiming said smiling. "Nothing to see here. We were just playing and my sister got mad. Heh."<br/><br/>"Sorry kids." Tieshou said.<br/><br/>It took the guys ten full minutes to convince Wuqing to calm down. When they were leaving she stopped in front of the young teacher and said. "I'm sorry for busting into your classroom. I will pay for the repairs. Send the bill to Shen Hu Fu for Wuqin." Then she wheeled away.
