[POV Bai Chang]
Study Room, Third Floor-
After Zhang Wei left the room, I took a deep breath.
'How dare they target my n?'
I log in to my private server and jack up 'Jiffy' for auxiliary surveillance. Then it is ti to return the favour of the old frenemy.
I hook to Feling's server and work my way into his logs. There are various records of his conversations with other people. As he is a person with a lot of issues and secrets to hide, he collects leverage on people around him and keeps them in his private server.
I ca across it when I was deep scanning his servers and cloud data as well as any network or neural connection of data.
My searches did bear fruits as I stumbled upon his archives.
'Co on, Co on, show sothing good' I played around his recent archives.
While simultaneously I play the video recording brought to by my squad.
As I push the buttons to play the video, the screen lits up. There is a park in the background, after a few seconds, Feling jogs into the fra. A runner from opposite side stops by the bench and stretches out and finally leaves. Feling moves towards the sa bench and sits down.
After so light exercise and cool-down stretches he leaves the spot.
'It's a dead drop. He passes information with soone while the runner is the carrier here.'
I search the runner through facial recognition software across various databases. It took so ti but it finally ca to a match.
The runner is an officer in the intelligence bureau of the governnt, mostly affiliated to the military.
The runner is working in Lt. General's office. So who is her boss?
Interesting very interesting
I further played the stores video in the flash drive.
This ti the screen changes to a coffee shop. A female cos to the shop and just speaks two words with Feling and left.
I played the third and the last video on the flash drive.
This ti it is an official setting. Most probably inside an army camp or military base.
Feling is dressed in casual informal while another person joins in. There are no audios to these videos so I shift to reading their lips.
The man who joins Feling on the screen is a Major General rank officer. His face is partially hidden under his cap.
Their et concluded that the officer warned Feling to not to get ahead of himself.
There was friction among them while the keyword to take away from them is 'Project 33'.
Interesting.
The man even warned him that his operations would be leaked and he has enough material on Feling to put him under the governnt's rehabilitation program.
"Project 33 huh.." I think aloud.
Next, I search for Project 33.
It took well into the night to search for 'Project 33' as there were over one thousand matchings hit. So to search for the relevant data took ti.
As for the Hu family, they made themselves comfortable in the Villa, playing with their grandchild. As for Hu Qiang. I asked Zhang Wei to request him to leave the Villa premise.
He really hurt . I don't owe him and neither does he dictate every aspect of my life.
As I walked to the window, I saw Qiang leaving the premises. Slouched shoulders and head hanging down.
Though he cuts a sorry figure, I feel no feelings of softness when I rember old Bai Chang's mory.
I pulled out a music CD that Bai Chang kept with her.
It was a collection of various songs that she used to listen to.
Though she was autistic, she understood people and was clear of her relationships.
That is why she saved Xiao Wei at the cost of her life but never contacted Qiang in her last monts.
She knew the importance of relying on herself rather than Qiang to save her only son. The light of her life.
I play the CD and a male voice playing acoustic guitar starts to sing throughout the room.
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Call what you wanna, I'll be what you wanna
I've been here a thousand tis, eh-eh
Fallin' for another, I don't even bother
I could do it all my life
So tell if you wanna 'cause I got this feeling
I wanna hear you say it 'cause I can't believe it
With every touch of you, it's like I've started dreaming
Guess Heaven's not that far away
And I'll be singing, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
You're breaking , la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
You're breaking , la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
You're breaking , la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
I'm just right here dancing around to the rhythm
The rhythm that you play when you're breaking my heart
You know that I can't get you out of my system
Yeah, right from the start, you played with my heart
And I'll be
I look up the artist of this song. Its Alexander Tidebrink, known by his stage na A7S, a Swedish producer, songwriter, and singer.
I close my eyes and it transports into a cold room where I am barefoot. There are apparatus hooked to and soone in the dark orders to up the voltage. And I get electrocuted.
"Where is the source code?" Soone asked harshly.
Only silence answers them.
They throw salted water on , the pain is unbearable but there is no sound escaping my lips.
"Are you trying to keep mum? Bai Chang, it is easy for us to obliterate you as we did with your parents now speak, damned!"
[Knock Knock]
"Bai Chang"
"Bai Chang, dinners ready. Where would you like to eat?"
"Bai Chang" soone shakes hard and I imdiately retaliate.
I flip the person and throw him on his back and I almost run through him my hairpin. Its a type of hidden weapon.
The man holds onto my hands firmly and shouts, "Bai Chang it's Zhang Wei, Bai Chang!"
I finally ca to myself and t Zhang Wei's perplexed eyes.
I hurriedly back up, "I'm sorry"
"What happened?"
"I was just not myself."
"So what were you thinking?"
"Sothing bloody and ," I mumbled.
(It was a mory of Bai Chang. She was tortured after she rescued Xiao Wei last ti.)
"What got into you tonight?"
"Nothing, just so old scars were scrapped anew," I said.
He looked at asking.
Instead, I asked him sothing else, "How are you related to Qiang?"
He looked stunned for a second before he concealed his thoughts. But I managed to catch it.
"Answer the damn question!"
He heard the aggression in my voice, taking a deep breath he contemplated.
"Well" he dragged on.
Even I didn't relent either. I stared down at him.
"Well, I am his distant cousin," he answered defeatedly.
"And how are you related to my Shui family?"
This ti he openly looked at , surprised.
I simply cross my arms and look at him steadily.
"Actually I was your family's security chief assigned personally by family head Dr Shui himself," he answered softly.
"Why do you ask?" This ti he questioned .
I think to myself, 'What should I reply to him?'
Then I decided to co clean to him.
"Thank you for saving my life at the N-47 Highway, three years ago," I replied.
I see him visibly tremble, as he gradually turns pale. As if he has seen a ghost.
"You.. You"
His words fail him, they are unable to summarize the huge range of feelings that he is going through at the mont.
"You rember," he asked aghast by the revelation.
"Every last bit of it," I replied to him.
"Since when?" He was visibly shaking from head to toe. The calm man that he usually is, has lost all his calm. He looked horrified waiting for my answer.
"Since always," I replied.
He trembled, tears flooded his cheeks.
"I always rembered it from day one," I continued.
I rembered every bit of the pain and the tortue treatnt as well as my various attempts to escape and finally my demise." I stated.
"Bai Chang"
The calm and composed man was nowhere to be seen. He looked pained.
"Did - Did you see sothing-"
"I just took a trip back to the mory lane. Sorry if I freaked you out."
