"He says distinguished guests have taken everything... Forget it, Xiaobo, Dad will pay out of his own pocket, you take your classmates to a better hotel!" Kang's father had no wish to quarrel over the matter: "Whatever happens, do not slight your classmates." "Fine..." Kang Xiaofeng hung up, his fist shooting up in fury to smash the roof of the van, only to pull back at the last instant: "Damn it, what bullying! On what grounds!" At his second grandfather's last birthday, Kang Jingming had brought a crowd of cronies and they had all been lodged inside the hotel, many in single rooms. His friends were good enough, yet when he brought a few classmates they were told to find an inn - what reason was that? "Let it go, Xiaobo." Wei Zhao did not take it to heart. "We will find a place ourselves." "Leader, you do not know - the Moon Over the Sea Hotel in Donghai is really a resort, huge beyond belief. How could there be no rooms?" Kang Xiaofeng said through gritted teeth: "To me, they simply look down on us!" "Ha... the Moon Over the Sea Hotel?" Wei Zhao started slightly: "Is that the name?" "What? Leader, you know this hotel too?" Kang Xiaofeng stared at Wei Zhao's startled face and asked in puzzlement. "Wait, I am going to make a call." Wei Zhao hesitated a moment, then opened the door and stepped out of the car. Though Wei Zhao had no desire to use his old connections - this was his last mission, and when it ended he wished only to live an ordinary life, willing even to trail the young lady as her follower for the rest of his days, for these days without a hail of bullets and blood licked from the knife's edge were too sweet to relinquish - yet this time, for Kang Xiaofeng, for the sole brother he had come to know since merging into common life, Wei Zhao decided to break his rule for once.
Wei Zhao walked to a spot a little apart from the van and dialed a number. The call connected and was picked up almost at once, a pleasing female voice ringing out: "Eagle?" "How did you guess it was me?" Wei Zhao asked, slightly taken aback. "The call is located in Donghai City." There was a hint of reproach in the voice: "At present, apart from you on that rather unusual mission over there, there is no one else in that region." "Oh? Truly the princess of the hacker world." Wei Zhao smiled wryly: "You can learn my position in an instant..." "Even without locating you, your mobile number is registered in Songshan City, so I could work it out." The Princess gave a soft snort: "Fixing your position was merely to make certain." "Very well, I admit I am useless with computers." Wei Zhao yielded: "I want to ask you something. The Moon Over the Sea Hotel in Donghai - is it run by our people? I seem to have seen it before on the handheld computer."
