The construction site has temporarily stopped for some unknown reason, with no workers in sight. Tang Ming checked his watch as he reached the bottom of the tower.
The watch showed 1:26 PM, four minutes left until the transaction time.
He quickly glanced around and sped up his pace, striding into the tower entrance.
Just as he stepped inside, he was confronted by two tall men in black suits and sunglasses, armed with guns, emerging from a door and aiming their weapons at him.
Seeing the men, Tang Ming immediately raised both hands to show he meant no harm, "I'm here to meet Mr. Smith!"
"Are you Mr. Tang?!" one of them asked in somewhat clumsy Chinese.
Tang Ming stretched out his right hand, and a red key dangled from his fingers.
The men, upon seeing the key in his hand, nodded slightly and gestured with their guns inside, "Go ahead!"
Two men, one in front and one behind, carefully led Tang Ming towards the underground parking lot.
