Before sleep, Lin Wu lay in bed and took out his cell phone to send a message to Zheng Yuan.
A few minutes later, Zheng Yuan returned the call.
Lin Wu answered and directly asked, "Where are you now?"
"Still at Mr. Zheng's camp," Zheng Yuan's voice was somewhat unsteady, as if he was walking and talking at the same time. His surroundings were extremely quiet, with only some cricket and bird calls, suggesting he was in a remote area with no people around.
Without waiting for Lin Wu to speak, Zheng Yuan respectfully continued.
"That night after I found Mr. Zheng's camp, I discovered there were three people standing guard. This place is cut off from communications with Beijing. They could not contact the Zheng family head and only received the messages we sent, so they reluctantly believed I was sent to help them. But they were also very wary of me; they didn't let me come into contact with the secrets of their equipment for two days in a row."
