Zhou Xufang received a message: "Okay."
She set down her phone that was still processing data, searched the room without finding anything, and then made her way to the study in the dark. There were two computers in the study, a desktop and a laptop. After booting up and connecting her own phone, Wen Baiyang remotely operated from the other end, and Zhou Xufang just waited, counting the minutes.
The sound of running water persisted in the bathroom.
Zhou Xufang returned to the bedroom, guessing that Jiang Fuli was taking a bath.
"Xufang."
Jiang Zhi was calling her.
Zhou Xufang replied in a hushed voice, "Here."
"Why is it taking so long?"
Zhou Xufang, with two headsets on, one for communicating with Jiang Zhi and the other with Wen Baiyang, explained: "Jiang Fuli's phone and computer have been tampered with. Cracking them takes time."
Jiang Zhi was anxiously waiting downstairs: "Where are you?"
"I'm waiting on her bed."
That sounded weird.
