"Where is your handheld computer?" The Princess did not answer, but countered with a question of her own. "The old man at home took it to play games..." Wei Zhao broke out in a cold sweat: "And he said there is no danger in this mission, so I would not need the thing..." "...Play games?" The Princess was plainly speechless at that, yet Old Wei was not one she had any right to judge, so she acted as if she had heard nothing: "It is run by our people..." "Well, give me the contact for the person in charge." Wei Zhao said. "His contact is..." The Princess passed the contact to Wei Zhao. "Good, I will hang up now." Wei Zhao memorized the contact. "Have you nothing else to say to me?" The Princess pressed. "What else is there..." Wei Zhao froze. "Goodbye!" Before Wei Zhao could speak again, the line at the other end had already gone dead.

Though they had never met, he had more than once heard his master speak of the man. Using the contact supplied by the Princess, Wei Zhao dialed his number.

The man called Uncle Tian was uncertain who this caller addressing him as Uncle Tian might be. "I am Wei Zhao." Wei Zhao spoke his own name. Uncle Tian on the other end was clearly startled and fell silent, as if turning the name over in his mind, and only after a moment asked tentatively: "The Leader's closed disciple?" "It is I." Wei Zhao said. "Please give your codename and password in the organization." Uncle Tian was evidently a cautious man. "Eagle, and the password is..." Wei Zhao recited a code combining numbers and English letters. "Forgive me, Young Master Lin, I was only acting by the rules!" Uncle Tian was suddenly far more cordial: "Young Master Lin, what are your orders for me?"
