On the way back, they remained silent. Upon reaching the bridge, a line of black sedans was parked on the side of the walkway, and a few people stood nearby, gazing in their direction.
One middle-aged man in a casual jacket strode toward Yan Kongyue.
"Minister Liao?" Yan Kongyue quickened her pace.
"Ah, it's so great to see you here!"
In truth, it wasn't great at all. I felt that wherever I went, there would always be some unhappy events unfolding. Yan Kongyue remained calm, but there was a hint of melancholy in her expression.
"Hey! How can you say that? With you around, those long-standing injustices can finally be rectified!"
I know this well; it's just that they are truly pitiful, yet they have committed unforgivable acts.
"Good child, don't think too much. Everyone has their fate. If you look at it from another perspective, isn't it a stroke of luck for them to encounter you?"
"That's true. By the way, Minister Liao, what brings you here?"
"I'm here for a meeting. I just arrived yesterday and spent the whole day in meetings at the Provincial Party Committee. Last night, when I was returning to the bureau with Director Chen and the others, someone reported that the National Security Bureau's Seventh Division was handling a case on Cui He Street. I knew it was you, so I came along."
"Oh, I see!"
"Come, let me introduce you!" Minister Liao stepped aside as a few people behind him moved forward.
"This is Director Chen from the Jiangchuan Provincial National Security Bureau, Chen Jianguo!"
"Hello!"
"Hello! Minister Liao has been praising you whenever he gets the chance these past few days. I didn't expect you to be so young!" Director Chen Jianguo initially doubted Yan Kongyue's capabilities, but he couldn't resist Minister Liao's persuasion.
"This is Director Xu from the Jiangchuan Provincial Public Security Department, Xu Zhou."
"Hello!"
"And this is Minister of Armed Forces, Chen Xiaoyang."
Yan Kongyue introduced her colleagues to them in turn.
"Oh, isn't this Lin Jingyang's nephew?" Chen Xiaoyang looked at Lin Lang in surprise.
"Hello, Minister Chen!" Lin Lang had never met him but had heard his uncle mention him before.
"So your father is Lin Jingxuan?"
"That's right! Do you know my father?"
I often go to the capital for meetings.
Lin Lang understood and didn’t ask any further.
By the way, Liao Minister, this is Feng Xing, the one I mentioned to you over the phone! Yan Kongyue brought Feng Xing over.
Oh my, this child is really good-looking, quite similar to your aunt!
I raised her, so of course she resembles me!
By the way, your documents have been taken care of and handed over to Lin Zhuo.
Thank you, Liao Minister! Once we return, I’ll get them from him!
Earlier, I heard you were handling some supernatural cases down there. How is it going now? Chen Xiaoyang glanced at a few Xiao Wujing standing behind him, looking quite pleased.
Let’s talk about it back at the bureau; this isn’t the place for discussions!
Alright! Yan Kongyue signaled Lin Qian to call for the hotel car.
In the tranquil night, the police station's conference room was brightly lit.
Interestingly, the long table in the conference room was filled with exquisite dishes, and a few people seemed to have just arrived as well.
Yan Kongyue said, while waiting for you on the bridge, I arranged for some food on short notice. I hope it suits your taste. I heard from your Second Brother that you must eat something after finishing your work. There aren’t many restaurants open at this hour, so let’s make do with this meal for now. Later, whatever you like to eat, Liao Shu will treat you!
Sounds good; it’s all food I love! After feeling gloomy all the way here, Yan Kongyue finally showed a hint of a smile.
Alright, everyone take a seat; don’t be polite. Let’s eat first before we discuss business! Liao Zhen introduced her to a few people who were waiting in the conference room—several captains from the Criminal Police Team and the Armed Police Unit.
