Da Qing was at a loose end, it was the week end and he should be out enjoying himself but the events of the previous night were still fresh in his mind and he couldn't settle himself. There were too many unanswered questions. It looked as if he was in the right place in his life, where he should be, but it didn't feel right. Yunlan and Chu were keeping too much information a secret from him and he wanted to know why. Chu had been acting more like a father figure lately which was odd, because up until he started working in the archives, he never spoke to him, just glared.

The other question he had on his mind was, who is Shen Wei? He seemed to be wealthy and intelligent enough to control such a technologically advanced home with an android servant, and a pretty one. He had realised from the photos in the archive that they were all linked in some way, even if it was just in their past lives and the bond between Yunlan and Shen Wei had continued through to their present lives, which he thought was amazing, so romantic, but something bad must have happened in the past and maybe that's part of what they were trying to hide from him. Gelan had contacted him before, and thinking that she might be able to answer some of his questions, he used his own computer at home, and put Shen Wei in the search box and waited.

"Yes kitten, I'm here." Gelan answered from her security room.

"My mind has so many questions, and I don't know where to start."

"Start at the beginning Daqing."

"You're an advanced AI, did Shen Wei build you?"

"Yes technically, he did build me, but I have a mind of my own."

He seems to be a very private person but he lets Yunlan into his life, is it because they knew each other in the past?"

"You found the photos, Is that what you think kitten?"

"I saw you in one of the photos, did he model you on that person?"

"Possibly yes. Ask the question you really want to know."

"Yesterday, at the break in, the only police who came, were us in the photos, no back up. Why did they choose me to come alone, and don't tell me it's because the owner is a very private person, odd things have been happening.."

Daqing was talking by typing the questions, but it was very slow communication and Gelan decided to speed it up a bit by visiting him at his home. He was in his living room with the computer in the corner where he usually sat to scroll and search, when her face was suddenly displayed on his screen and he smiled at her, knowing that she was advanced and that this wasn't a big deal for her to be able to do that. Then she started to exit the screen, slowly advancing towards him as he drew away still seated, and fell backwards onto the floor while Gelan stood above him smiling down. She put her hand out to help him up but he was reluctant to accept it.
