"I think he is going to do it tonight." Zhao Xin Chin started to tap on his tablet.

"Well we'd better get started. Where is the evil Dr. now and what are his plans?"

Father and Son bent their heads together and got to work.

Shen Wei looked at the black mask with the intricate design in silver in his hand. He had hoped never to don it again, but he knew that this day would eventually come. He thought back on this past year, filled with so many mixed emotions. On one hand, he hated having to lie to Zhao Yunlan and the other S.I.D. members. On the other hand, he had walked alone in life for so long; the S.I.D. had become family to him, and it felt good to have others think and worry about him. And after all these years of watching Zhao Yunlan from afar, he finally got to meet to him, take care of him, try to heal even a small part of him. But that would all come to an end tonight.

He turned on his phone and scrolled the many pictures he had taken of the S.I.D., and of Zhao Yunlan. He particularly lingered over one he had taken when Zhao Yunlan had fallen asleep while working on the recliner one night. The usual rascal looked like an innocent child. His brother had stolen this poor child's mother, and he, Shen Wei, would now take revenge against the root of the evil who made his brother do this, even if it meant sacrificing his own life. This was the price of redemption.

With that, he turned off the phone and threw it into a nearby garbage bin

With that, he turned off the phone and threw it into a nearby garbage bin. Taking a deep breath, he put on the mask, pulled the hood of his jacket over his head, and disappeared into the night.

Zhao Yunlan's father was able to get Dr. Ouyang's schedule for the evening. He had a dinner with the head of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, no doubt to give him the usual "gift" of sweets, made heavier by a few layers of currency underneath. After that he would most likely go to his mistress' plush apartment and spend some time there, or maybe visit the underground casino he frequented. This was his routine after he had another successful harvest of organs that he sold to the rich and powerful, those who could afford his price.

Back at the S.I.D. office, Zhao Yunlan was busy organizing and giving orders to everyone. They would break up into groups and monitor the hospital Dr. Ouyang worked at and the restaurant where he would meet the Ministry head for dinner. Lin Jing would remain in the office and keep track of everyone's movements.
