The call was picked up quickly, and the captain replied, "Hello, you are—"
"Captain, I'm Xiao Qiao."
There was a momentary silence. Then she could hear that he was pleasantly surprised when he responded, "Hi, Xiao Qiao, what's up?"
Qiao Lian stared straight ahead as she asked, "Are you free now? I wanted to have a chat. It's about Zi Chuan and Soul Fighter."
"Oh, let's meet up and talk then. I have a meeting now and will be available in about an hour. Let me know where you are, I'll go look for you."
Qiao Lian said unhurriedly, "Let's meet at Zhou Song's grave."
"Ok."
-
Qiao Lian flagged down a taxi and went to Zhou Song's grave by herself first.
She stood before the cemetery grounds.
It was still winter, so it was cold outside.
She wore a white down jacket and her complexion was pale, as though drained of blood.
Her gaze was fixed on the picture on the tombstone.
