"Kim Taedong?" The girl at the information desk looked up as she eyed the man who claims that he was Kim Taedong.

"That's me," Dongdong replied, imitating Taedong's voice.

The girl nods, believing him, "Ms. Boa will be at her office in the 7th floor,"

"Thank you," Zhenya says, taking the card from her hands.

Dinghao had made a mask that looked like Taedong and made Dongdong wear it. In order to make the staff of the office believe that Kim Taedong is really there.

The two, together with Xinchun, Zibo and Dinghao walked towards the elevator, pressing the 7th floor button.

"Once Dongdong and I invite Ms. Boa outside to have lunch, Xinchun will hack into her computer and take all the files that are connected to Road Knights." Zhenya explains, going over the plan.

"Wait," Dinghao grabbed her arm, as the elevator stopped at the 5th floor.

"What?"

"Can you buy us some take-out?" Dinghao motioned to his stomach that was grumbling. "I'm starving, I didn't eat breakfast."

Zhenya rolled her eyes and removed his hands from her. The elevator door opened and they walked out.

Dongdong pointed at the door on his right. It has a big letter B imprinted on it, "I think that's her office,"

"Let's go, then?" Zhenya utters, but before knocking on the door, Xinchun heard footsteps and people talking.

He quickly pulled Zhenya out of the way and hid behind a wall with a plant sticking out. Zibo and the others followed him.

"What - ssshh!" Zhenya protested but Xinchun covered her mouth.

"Thank you for the lunch, Ms. Boa," A man said, handing Boa a gift basket. "The person who was supposed to meet you is actually sick. But don't worry, he's already recovering."

Boa showed him a strong smile, "Thank you, Jonghyun,"

He laughed, walking with her towards the office, "Please, miss, call me JR."

Zhenya widens her eyes as the two walked in, closing the doors behind them, "JR? What's he doing here?!"

"Isn't he like the leader of the top second unit in Road Knights?" Zibo asked. "Why's he meeting their supplier in person?"

Xinchun stood up, fixing his jacket, "That means they know what were up to and what were after,"

Zhenya ruffled her hair, trying to come up with an alternative, "Why are they always one step ahead of us?! We need plan B,"

"Xu Shengen isn't in our unit," Dinghao muttered, as Zibo tried covering his mouth to avoid laughing.

Zhenya rolled her eyes at them and walked towards the office door but before she could do anything stupid, Xinchun grabbed her wrist, "What do you think you're doing?"

"Xinchun, it's now or never, we can corner them there -"

"Are you insane?!" Xinchun exclaimed, his voice a bit higher than before. "I know for sure that JR didn't come here alone. If you go inside and face them, that'll be like a suicide mission."

"But he's alone in there with her!" Zhenya replied back. "This is our only chance to get those files and I'm not leaving empty-handed,"

"Are the files more important than our own lives?"

"If the files are going to help us, then it's a risk I'm willing to take,"

"Zhenya, you might be forgetting that this isn't our place." Xinchun said, looking straight at Zhenya's eyes.

Zhenya bit her lip, knowing that whatever Xinchun says, has to go. Her grey contact lens meeting the boy's black orbs as his grip on her tightened.

"Xinchun's right," Dongdong adds, trying to calm the girl. "This is their territory and we're the ones trespassing."

"So, we're going to leave? Just like that?" Zibo questions, breaking the tension between the two.

Dinghao's mouth hung open, "Wait! So I skipped breakfast for nothing?"

"Zhenya." Xinchun called out, catching her attention. She avoided his gaze and removed his hand from her wrist.

"So we're really leaving?" Zibo asks again, tilting his head towards Xinchun.

Xinchun sighed, looking back at Zhenya again who walked towards Dondong and handed Taedong's card back, "Fine, we're leaving."

She ignored Xinchun, as she grabbed Zibo, leading him to the elevator, Dongdong following closely behind.

Dinghao raised his eyebrow, "You do realize that she's not going to talk to you again, right?"

Xinchun scoffed, as they heard the elevator door closed, leaving the two alone on the 7th floor, "You don't think they'll leave us right?"

Dinghao was about to answer when his phone beeped as he read the text out loud, "It's from Luo Zheng,"

"What'd he say?" Xinchun asked, pressing the button for the ground floor.

"He said Zhenya is mad at you and that we should just take a cab home. They just left."

Xinchun widens his eyes, "Are you for real?!"
