Scarlett went to her uncle's house with her mother, bringing some personal belongings. The driver was none other than Daniel, sent by Asher to give them a ride. Daniel borrowed a friend's taxi to disguise himself as a driver, while Asher rented a car to follow closely behind.
Scarlett's uncle is currently a deputy regiment staff officer in the army, stationed at a brigade unit in the suburbs of City C. He had been allocated a house in the military family compound. The taxi stopped at the gate of the compound, as taxis were not allowed to enter freely. The guards at the gate stood straight, armed with loaded weapons. The main gate had an electronic lock that required a card to enter; active-duty soldiers had their own cards, and each family member had a family card that displayed their identity information when swiped. Outsiders were not allowed to enter freely, and deliveries could only be dropped off at the guard post.
