Dear Young Master Spare Me Please? - 276 The Old Building
hearing bo lin’s explanation made han meixiu’s emotions ran wild. her eyes were slightly red as she was trying to calm herself.
in all honesty, there were times that her brain wanted to short circuit by the amount of information formed on it after hearing him.
she was clearly familiar with the person bo lin was calling ‘leader’.
it was no wonder she couldn’t contact her mother. she was doing a ‘personal’ work.
her fingers were curled into a tight fist and her breathing was heavy.
by the time the call ended, her mind continued to process and think of a solution. looking at the time, she couldn’t contact liu zijian.
according to the call she received before dinner, they would be entering an area where signal would be a problem. the earliest possible time they could get into the place would be before lunch time tomorrow.
but han meixiu couldn’t wait that long. bo lin wouldn’t call her if there was enough time.
she knew based from bo lin’s word that the target wasn’t someone easy. although she didn’t know exactly who it was, she could at least deduce that the person would be a prominent one.
in a span of few minutes she received the last tracking record of the leader. according to bo lin, after the leader arrived in this place, her signal disappeared.
normally, no one should know her whereabouts but in order for bo lin to get the last message, he was granted to check the record of the leader.
there were also information with the tentative places she could be. but then again, the time wasn’t enough to make the location specific. bo lin could not also use their resources as leader’s identity was special. besides, he was constricted with the leader’s word.
other attachments were records of the ‘target’ of zhang huiling.
han meixiu scanned quickly the files while thinking whom could possibly assist her. she’s not familiar with the field department of lcg and zhang huiling’s identity is special. she couldn’t let herself trust blindly anyone.
no matter how fast she could locate her, there’s no way she could monitor everything. she needed a capable assistant.
she dialled a string of numbers while her eyes glanced at the screen of her laptop from time to time.
after asking a few questions to song, one of digital team’s core members, she bid her goodbye and contacted the person who could assist her efficiently.
“zen, it’s me. han meixiu.”
zen who just sat down on his desk as he was planning to check the upcoming activities of his boss, liu zilong who usually appears and disappears, was surprised after hearing the other person on the line.
his brain momentarily stopped and he even distanced the phone from his ear to check if he was really receiving a call.
“zen?” han meixiu’s voice reached his ears again making him coughed a little to hide his surprise.
“yes, young mistress. is there anything you need?” he politely asked. there was a slight tremor in his voice but he didn’t know if it was because he was nervous or excited.
the mere fact that he was contacted by han meixiu gave him as sense of pride.
“do you have time? i need an assistance.” han meixiu asked as her fingers danced on the keyboard.
“of course.” zen immediately answered.
“i’ll send you a location. find all the possible video feeds available within the area. do it discreetly. report to me if you find something.” han meixiu calmly said as she continued to read other files trying to analyze the ‘target’ of her mother.
she simply chose zen as compared to other members of the core team. he had the most number of participation in the field. besides, with minimal order, he could perform pretty well. she didn’t need to elaborate her request nor tell him what process he should use to get an efficient result.
she was not mistaken. in a span of an hour she was able to receive the result she wanted. it wasn’t just that, zen also provided other information.
by this time she was already on her way out of the house. she took a few numbers of usual guards that followed her. unlike liu zijian, she didn’t have a dedicated assistant.
right after getting in the car, a call came in.
“hey, meixiu! want to grab a drink?” han mingxia excitedly asked. normally she had an appointment with red but the man cancelled it the last moment.
to beat her frustration and disappointment, she wanted to drink. since her location wasn’t far from her cousin, she wanted to invite her. although she didn’t really want to drink. she just wanted someone to talk to.
she felt so alone.
“are you that free?”
“yeah. free as a bird.” she answered with a mocking tone well hidden in her voice.
but han meixiu wasn’t really concerned about it. after hearing her cousin’s answer she spoke again. “i need your help.”
“oh, that’s surprising. i don’t work for free.” han mingxia jokingly said as she walked along the street.
“i’ll pay you. where are you?”
han mingxia softly laughed. she knew that han meixiu could certainly afford her service. “you’re really fast. how did you know i’m working as a freelancer now?” she answered before giving out her location.

after picking up han mingxia, han meixiu already formed a rough plan. zen continued to provide her the information she needed.
“you want me to act as a decoy?” han mingxia was surprised.
“yes. the exits of the area have been blocked.”
“all?”
“3 out of 5. but the reinforcements were coming. in an hour all 5 exits would be closely monitored and it will be hard to rescue the person inside.” han meixiu said calmly. she was also surprised by the way she was handling this.
the area was actually composed of several old buildings to be demolished in a week’s time. since they didn’t know which one was the police especially targeted, zen was still trying to narrow down the area by searching for a possible out of ordinary details.
he was also constantly monitoring the arrival of the reinforcement. the movement was actually low key as most of the officers were dressed as a civilian.
zen was able to find out the abnormality when he was checking the surveillance. from the time he left his unit, rode a car and transferred into a specialized van, his fingers didn’t leave the laptop he was holding.
after he was able to sit inside the van, his work eased up as the equipment inside were much more efficient than his own laptop.
he never asked anything about the task. he just provided information and did what he was ordered to do. from time to time he would infused some information he thought were relevant.
there were finally two tracks they were following, but after further analysis and exchange of information from both han meixiu and zen, they were able to narrow it down to this old building.
the core reason, the building was previously owned by white peony. han mingxia’s expression turned a bit complicated after hearing the information about the building. of course, she’s aware of that company.
“i have the blueprint of the building. it only has one basement.” he said and continued to describe the building.
both han mingxia and han meixiu listened to zen and formed the corresponding escape route.
han mingxia knew her role was important in order to avail more time.
“why don’t you let one of your subordinates search inside? why should you go in personally?” she worriedly asked. if she’s not wrong, then the person they would save might be a member of black.com or a former member. if it would be the latter, it would be dangerous.
“i’m the only one who knows her. she won’t trust anyone else.” han meixiu simply answered.
curiosity was eating han mingxia but she still didn’t ask about the identity of the person. “i see. then you should take care.” she said and alighted the car.
han mingxia was dropped off in different location, and would only act after han meixiu found the target. she would walk for couple of meters more while hiding from the bunch of police officers. it was good that she could hide in the darkness of the night.

“where are you going officer li? the additional team is about to arrive.” one of the police officers ranked lower than the woman asked her. they we’re waiting for the new command about the case.
they were told to wait and observe for a while as the thief was wounded and taking refuge in that particular building.
“there’s still a few minutes. i’ll just check the area. i’ll be back before captain arrives.” li xiaozhi answered.
the target building that was reported where the escaped killer related to a certain organization was to be demolished. to put it precisely, at least three buildings were to be destroyed thus the area was somewhat deserted.
but li xiaozhi wasn’t interested in the other two buildings. she was more interested in the old building farthest from their location.
like the target building, the four floor building was also scheduled to be demolished. but it only has four floors compared to the others that were few floors taller.
this building was previously owned by white peony. unlike her fellow officers who just follow the orders of their superiors thus their knowledge about the case in general was very limited, she was different.
she was thinking that there must be some mixed up. if she’s wrong at least she could check the previous office of white peony. maybe she could find something.
besides, she didn’t believe it was a simple robbery. why would they mobilize such number if it’s only that simple.
with a steady step, she walked briskly towards the dimly lit entrance of the building holding a little torch to light her way.
