58 YOU HAVE A PROBLEM (2/2)

”Who else could it be?” her response was light.

”I thought you had disappeared from this side of the world.”

”I did, but I have some business. I need your help.”

”You only call or visit when you have a problem.” The man pouted in misery. ”Anyway, I don't do that kind of thing anymore.”

Hu Lei felt like laughing. Anyone who had been involved in questionable matters must have said this at some point. However, no one ever truly changed except through an act of the heavens. She knew for a fact Han Kim had not. She could hear the hum of a powerful computer.

”Don't be like that. There might be something special in it for you.” She flicked her hand as if by magic and waved a small card.

”Is it something good?” The eyes behind the thick glasses shined in anticipation.

Honestly, Hu Lei did not know. She had asked Vlad to help her get some interesting underground technology from one of his connections to exchange for information. When it came to tech, Kim Han was like her father with medicine. She nodded.

”What do you need?” He asked while leading her to his backroom.

”I need to locate someone, but I do not have much information. I do know the last place he was in some weeks ago and the identities he might use.” She continued to provide the details she knew about her father.

Looking at Kim Han working like magic, she wondered if she should have put some effort in learning more about technology. This thought naturally led to her thinking about Zhong Feng. He must have noticed that she was gone by now. She hoped that he would understand when she returned. Maybe she could bring him an occult gift from the south.

”This will take some time. Come back in the evening.” Kim Han spoke without looking up at her.

Hu Lei needed to plan for her departure, so she did not insist on staying. As she walked out, she felt melancholy about everything. And she really wanted to sit down and bawl like a baby. But she did not. Perhaps later, when she knew that her father was not in danger and she was in her new apartment, she would sit down and cry.
