Wang Zhong glanced at Ludmila, who smiled and said, "Go ahead, you staying here won't be of any help."
"Alright." Wang Zhong stepped forward, gently kissed her lips, then turned and nodded to the officer from the Summer Palace.
Then the group quickly left the filming set.
With the staff of the Saint Andrew angel in hand, Ludmila watched him leave.

The atmosphere in the Summer Palace seemed somewhat tense; when the guards saw Wang Zhong appear, they all had a look of "as expected."
Wang Zhong was led into the lounge, where he saw a general holding a Coca-Cola, standing by the window looking out at the snowscape.
The general had raised his right hand, ready to take a sip of his Coca-Cola, but upon hearing Wang Zhong's footsteps, he maintained his pose with the Coca-Cola bottle and looked over sideways.
Wang Zhong, seeing the general's insignia, saluted out of habit.
