Nick walked up the embankment to Hu Qing Ping Gong Road, which ran along the west side of the freeway interchange. There were no rickshaws, no pagodas, nothing that screamed he was in Shanghai. The signs on the hotels, freight companies, and restaurants were in Chinese and English, but otherwise this could have passed for any airport neighborhood in any city in the United States.

On the other side of the street was a Motel 168, one of a large chain of Chinese budget accommodations. It was a drab five-story building with MOTEL168.COM spelled out on the roof in huge letters that could be seen by anyone on the freeway interchange, and certainly by the two police helicopters now circling above it.

As Nick crossed the busy street, drivers barely made an effort to avoid him. He walked calmly, pretending to check his phone for email, so that he’d look like a fearless expat who had done this a thousand times, not a man running from the police.

Once he reached the other side, he walked past the taxis parked in front of the Motel 168 and strolled into the lobby just as several police cars streaked by the building, sirens wailing. He went directly to the front desk, where he exchanged some U.S. dollars for Chinese yuan, then went back outside and hailed a taxi that took him to the airport Metro station.
