An employee with undeniable calm and grace approached Suyin, "Do you require some assistance?" Her gentle silvery voice seemed quite approachable, however, underneath Suyin could faintly recognise some fatigue probably because the overflowing customer coming in and out of the establishment, "My name is Da Fu and I am the head manager of this establishment," This person was in a quite a high position within this establishment. Despite this she continued to work with the other workers who were serving customers, however, due to popular demand for the product was understaffed to handle the workload.
Fidgeting with her fingers. Suyin knew that this was the person that would be able to access the secret service, "The scent of flowers lures butterflies," Her heart rate immediately quickened as she nervously asked for the secret service not knowing if they would still use this phrase or whether they were even still operating the secret service.
But Da Fu smiled at Suyin as she politely bowed, "Customer please allow me to escort you to our private reception room," With Da Fu leading the way up through the building, Suyin timidly followed behind. Da Fu gestured Suyin to a chair whilst she exited the room leaving Suyin by herself in the empty reception room.
Another female entered the room, she was quite opposite in terms of demeanour compared to the previous person, "What do you want? To find someone. Kill someone?" Her straightforwardness intimidated Suyin who could only quiver in front of the woman, "But, are you willing to pay the price?" The woman in front of her sat on the table, facing Suyin with a coy smile.
Suyin nodded as she bought out an expensive looking jewel that she always held with her. It was a keepsake that was precious to her, but it was worth sacrificing to save that poor girl. The translucent amber colour with speckles of red sprinkled within the jewel, Amber, which was considered precious to many since it took many years to crystallise, "I need to find the identity of a certain individual that I came across," The female was pleasantly surprised to see such a beautifully cultivated amber, waiting for the request. Throwing it into the air, "A petite girl roughly around 14-18 years of age with grey hair I think with grey eyes also," The female sucked in a breath as she caught the gem in her hand before disappearing in front of Suyin's eyes.
A slight sting located at her throat, "I don't know who you are and what your motives are," The harsh threatening shift in the woman's tone sent shivers down Suyin's spine, "Where is that girl you speak of?" Another sting of pain warned Suyin that if she didn't answer she would face death if she were the delay anymore of her time.
Suyin parted her lips, "She is held captive in a remote location within the mountains near the ocean," Her neck stung from the deadly blade that was pointed at her vitals. The woman obviously wasn't satisfied with Suyin's answers
The women continued pressed the blade against Suyin's neck which was now bleeding, "There are thousands of remote mountains near ocean," This conversation was going nowhere since Suyin was fearless of the girl and couldn't cohere the proper words to the location of the poor girl.
The door opened to reveal the same woman, Da Fu, that escorted Suyin into the room, "Bao Ming! I told you time and time again if you keep threatening the poor woman," Pulling the vicious girl away from Suyin to allow her to breath properly before placing some bandages and applying pressure onto her neck to prevent bleeding, "I apologise for any harm done to you but this sort of information needs to be accurate otherwise it would be a waste of time on our side and we don't tolerate false information." Da Fu was apologetic to Suyin but warned her about lying to them would lead to consequences especially for her. As Suyin thoroughly explain her slave contract with the man that took Fangsu and the experiment that was undergoing in the hidden mountain base. Continuing with traps, illusions and the pathway to the underground base and the intricacies of the equipment that held her captive.
