Xiabo is a resourceful baby.

In the lovely gardens of the chateau, Alix found some chairs and tables, and she sat down. She also got a cup of noodles, hot water and sliced for herself a large serving of the spice cake. She opened a bottle of mixed berry juice and took a small sip.

Then, she retrieved her laptop from the bag and dialed her father's number first, initiating a video call. The call was answered quickly, not by chairman Tai but by grandpa Tai who pushed his face extremely close to the camera that all Alix could see was his chin. 

"Grandpa, step back from the camera."

Grandpa Tai was pulled back by his son and then Alix finally saw them clearly.

"Father, grandfather, is everything alright? Have you seen anyone suspicious around today? Which German business man did you have a meeting with and what did they tell you? Did you sign any contracts or drink and eat anything you were offered? If you were given any food, throw it away.
