Before dawn broke, Bai Zhizhan was woken up by the incessant ringing of a telephone.
It was a call from Zhou Yongtao, who said he had urgent news and was on his way.
While Bai Zhizhan was still washing up, Zhou Yongtao had already arrived, bringing breakfast from a restaurant and some toiletries for the trip.
After getting into the car, Zhou Yongtao then told Bai Zhizhan that the Emperor Xia had announced his surrender more than an hour ago.
The broadcast was made over the radio; the entire world knew.
It was very sudden; there had been no signs beforehand.
Arriving at the airport, Bai Zhizhan immediately called Liu Changxun.
The news had been confirmed; the Emperor Xia had already issued the decree of surrender, but so far, the Prime Minister of the East Saiyi Regime had not yet made a statement.
Moreover, the Grand Secretary had not yet decided whether to accept the surrender of the East Saiyi Regime.
