matter?”Winnie admired how straightforward and direct Christopher was.“I read the text you sent me. You’ve targeted the drug traffickers’ den but couldn’t find their contact. They didn’t have a fixed time and location every time they deal with each other, right?” “Yes, that’s right.” Christopher did not hold back in praising her. “You’re brilliant. I didn’t tell you anything yet, but you managed to guess everything accurately. They have been secretive about their deals and how they decide the locations. The customs suspected several export orders under Fairchild Corporation involved smuggling two years ago. However, our department never suspected Fairchild Corporation at all.

Looking forward to the day when the evil guys get arrested.”After hanging up, Winnie was about to find her hair dryer when her phone rang again.Glancing at the screen, she realized it was Xavier’s call.“Hello.” Winnie answered his call and put him on loudspeaker. As she dried her hair, she asked, “It’s pretty late. Why are you still up, Mr. Fairchild?”Xavier’s gruff voice rang out. “I wanted to make sure you
