Damascus and Portland had a ten-hour time difference, but when Gao Yang made calls, he never considered the time difference. If he needed to make a call, he'd do it unhesitatingly.
Luckily, those who he often contacted also needed to take calls from all over the world. They were accustomed to having their phones on 24/7, ready to answer at any time, but even so, Gao Yang often got scolded for waking people from their sleep.
But there was one person who wouldn't get angry no matter when Gao Yang called. On the contrary, he actually looked forward to Gao Yang's calls, especially when he received them in the middle of the night, because more often than not, it meant good news for him.
That person was, of course, Morgan. So when he received a call from Gao Yang, Morgan said in a delighted tone, "Hey, Gao, I haven't gone to bed yet. I hope this doesn't affect the reason for your call—hopefully to tell me some good news."
