The next day at 6:00 AM.
Yun Zijin was groggy, vaguely aware of a persistent noise by her ear.
The sound successfully roused Yun Zijin from her sleep. She opened her eyes and looked toward the nightstand. It turned out someone had been calling her repeatedly.
It was an unsaved number, so Yun Zijin hung up immediately. Her mood soured.
No one would be in a good mood after having their sleep so rudely interrupted first thing in the morning.
But just as Yun Zijin hung up, the same number called again.
’!!!’
’Is this person determined to get through no matter what?’
Yun Zijin sat up in bed and answered the call.
"Hello!"
"Hello, is this Miss Yun, Yun Zijin?"
The voice on the other end belonged to a young-sounding man, and his tone was polite.
But Yun Zijin wasn’t about to forgive his crime of waking her up at the crack of dawn just because he was polite.
"Who is this?" Her voice was laced with impatience.
"I’m already at the Jade Lake District, right downstairs from your building, Miss Yun.
There are some things we need to discuss in person."
The man’s words instantly woke Yun Zijin up completely.
"What did you say?"
’How did he get into Jade Lake without a resident escorting him? Who’s on guard duty this early? Is the management really this lax?’
"Could you please buzz me in, Miss Yun?"
He managed to get the gate guard to let him through, but he couldn’t get past the main entrance of Building 101.
"Who are you? What’s your name and where are you from? If you don’t give me a clear answer, I’m not letting you in."
Yun Zijin was at least that cautious.
’Calling me out of nowhere and then asking me to let him in... Is this guy for real? Is this some kind of joke?’
Downstairs at Building 101, Lin Yan never thought he’d be in a position where someone demanded he verify his identity.
But it was indeed difficult to explain his identity to Yun Zijin over the phone.
"It’s more sincere to introduce myself in person. Please rest assured, Miss Yun, I mean you no harm. I can tell you this much: I’m here because of Old Sir Lu."
That’s right. After Lu Zhengguo received the route maps drawn by Zero One and his team, he immediately sent an encrypted file to the relevant departments.
He was one of the people who saw the encrypted file, and was ultimately assigned to negotiate with Yun Zijin in person.
After all, Zero One and his team were bodyguards hired by Yun Zijin. If his department wanted to "borrow" them, they would need her, the employer, to agree.
’Old Sir Lu?’
’What’s the connection?’
"Wait there."
Regardless of who this person was, the fact remained that he had woken her up. Yun Zijin hung up and left her room.
By this time, others in the house were already awake. Some were mopping the floors, while others wiped down furniture and windows. Even Wang Minli was up; she was in the kitchen, discussing the morning’s breakfast menu with the chef.
The maids were surprised to see Yun Zijin emerge from her room.
’Doesn’t Miss Yun usually sleep until at least 7 AM? It’s only six o’clock.’
She didn’t often wake up even at seven, since she didn’t have an 8 AM class every day.
"Send someone downstairs to bring a person up."
’She wasn’t about to go herself. Why should she do something a maid could handle?’
"I’ll go!"
