Capítulo 162: Requests
Like what they planned, the two went to the obstacle course area after their breakfast. Han Meixiu expected it to be just around the corner but they spent half an hour walking before they reached the place.
In a matter of an hour and a half, they barely finish two courses. Han Meixu already rolled around the ground neglecting the coldness of the earth covered with withered grass.
"That was fun!"
She heard Li Xiaozhi not too far from her.
"I didn't know you know some rope knots, too. You could even use the rope to go down. You improved a lot. It seemed that running isn't the only way for you to save yourself now." Li Xiaozhi continued and let out a hearty laugh.
Han Meixiu couldn't help herself to smile.
Indeed, she had already changed. And she liked it.
"Let's go. We should wash up and go to the firing range area. Show me your skills!" Li Xiaozhi exclaimed and extended her hand.
In the near future this memory would be both heartwarming and heartbreaking.
By the time they arrived in Mr. Di's hut for lunch, they were more or less tired. Li Xiaozhi was keep on complimenting Han Meixiu about her shooting skills.
"Did you enjoy your time ladies?" Mr. Di gently asked.
"We did." Li Xiaozhi enthusiastically answered. While Han Meixiu only nodded keeping her smile clearly showing she enjoyed their time.
After their simple lunch, Li Xiaozhi excused herself. She reasoned out she wasn't needed anymore inside since Han Meixiu was pretty much already comfortable.
Han Meixiu didn't object as she also wanted to be alone with Mr. Di.
Outside the hut, Li Xiaozhi looked for her brother. When she found him, he was talking in his own two way radio thus she waited for a while. When the call ended the usual scrutinizing gaze of Major Li landed on his sister.
"What is it?"
"About the one I asked you before."
"Don't concern yourself with that. You are already suspended and you still want to dig around."
"But I only want to see her file."
"You're not going to get anything from there."
"But Brother Jin…" Li Xiaozhi wanted to argue but was cut off by Major Li.
"We're not at home. Stop with your tantrums. Haven't you created enough trouble already?"
Li Xiaozhi pouted and snorted. This brother of hers, is her least favorite.
The moment Li Xiaozhi stepped out of the hut, Han Meixiu faced Mr. Di with a serious expression.
"Mr. Di, do you know my father?"
Mr. Di didn't answer but he softly smiled instead.
'Not bad as your daughter.' He thought.
"What made you say so?"
"The way you treat me. It was as if you knew me before. When I still can't recall most of my memories I thought I have met you at some point. But I remember most of my memories now and there was no incident that I met you. So you probably met my parents or someone related to me. But the way Major Li guard you, it seemed your not a simple person like my father. So I'm guessing you know him."
"Careful with your words my dear. But your analysis is good. As you can see, I'm a captured criminal. Talking with me about those matters will not bring you any good."
"Like always, talk to me when I'm in session. We both know I pretty much remember everything. There's always a way for you to communicate with me without them knowing."
"Clever child." Mr. Di smiled warmly.
Han Meixiu did the usual routine and in just a few minutes, she's back in her sea of consciousness guided by that subtle and calming voice of Mr. Di. But this time, there was no floating images. There was a path and a detailed environment she was bound to explore.

"An engagement party?" Madam Bai didn't take the invitation but only looked at it. Her assistant who was holding the invitation slowly retracted his hand.
"Yes." He answered.
"Chen Dewei?"
"Yes."
"Hmmm… That boy is interesting. So he has another game, huh? Let us watch and enjoy."
"I'll arrange your schedule right away."
"Are there any requests worthy of my attention?"
"There are two."
"Who are the targets?"
"Liu Zilong and Zhang Yu."
Madam Bai laughed. "Seriously? Who did they offend?" She already informed her assistant to monitor a request involving the few influential families in Q City. Liu and Zhang Families were one of them.
"For Liu Zilong it is the young lady of Yang Family."
"Details." Madam Bai asked. If the request would be a simple revenge, it's not worth it.
"She wanted a woman to seduce Liu Zilong and eventually create a scandal."
"Reject." Madam Bai simply said. The request was probably because she was rejected. She didn't give Yang Family an access to their service to only use it to a petty reason.
"For Zhang Yu?"
"Infiltrate his personal residence. The request was from a man named Xiang."
"What does he want to get from Zhang Yu's residence?"
"Mr Xiang said he will send the picture if there was already an assigned person."
"This man isn't ordinary." Madam Bai commented. He basically knew how to be careful using their 'service'. He wanted secrecy which was not really a problem. But only few people would request this kind of set up.
"Accept."
The man bowed in response and immediately made a call.
"Will you assign someone?" He asked after talking to someone for a while.
"Let him choose. Give him as many options as possible." Madam Bai answered. Her eyes were sharp as if she was intensely analyzing the simple request. She already has an idea who that man is but she's curious about the item he wanted to obtain.
"Noted."
"Nothing else?"
"None related to those people you mentioned."
"Other updates?"
"Nothing worthy to mention."
"Boring." Madam Bai stood up and walked leisurely around the well decorated room. "Still no news about D?"
"None."
"Hmmm, maybe our people are getting shabby. Should I remind them how to move?" Madam Bai lazily looked at the man. Her fingers were tracing the edge of the sofa where she just sat down. "They still couldn't find his hideout, huh?"
The man lowered his head. He was starting to panic. It's not good if her tone of voice is like this - soft and calm.
Her footsteps slowly became louder as she came towards the man.
"I want some interesting news…" She said whispering the words to his ears.
But those words sounded so loud and clear to him that made him afraid. Not just for himself but also for the people who received the order.
"I'll inform them to bring good news tomorrow." He said trying to calm his nerves.
"Then I'll be waiting." She said giving the man a sweet smile.
But that smile wasn't really a sweet one for the man. It's a devil's smile. It meant that if she wouldn't get any news tomorrow, those people assigned would be tormented to no end.
