After driving Yu Mingxiang away from the villa, Gu Guanhai headed towards the foreign affairs office residential area.

During this period, unsurprisingly, I encountered numerous checks and investigations.

When questioned, Gu Guanhai did not hesitate to take out his foreign affairs officer's credentials.

To be fair, the credentials of foreign affairs officers are quite useful even in the Western Empire. After all, it concerns the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and a slight mistake could trigger a diplomatic dispute. Even the soldiers of the Western Empire have to be extra careful when handling them.

Of course, upon learning of the commotion among foreign officials, Mike, though focused on finding the stolen files and unable to pay attention to the disturbance at the foreign consulate, still made appropriate arrangements as a precaution.

For example, checks are now much more stringent near areas where foreign affairs officials reside.

But.

No matter how tight their defenses were, they couldn't stop Gu Guanhai.

because.

He has a certificate.

Therefore.

When confronted by checkpoint personnel, Gu Guanhai flashed his foreign affairs officer credentials and said with an air of self-righteousness, "Why can't I go in?"

"I am the foreign affairs officer of the Xia Kingdom stationed in the Western Empire!"

“My official residence is also inside!”

"If you won't let me in, are you going to leave me to wander the streets?"

"If I lose it, who will be responsible?"

"Back then, someone from Japan lost their life in our family, but..."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged police officer who had stopped him exclaimed, "!!!"

Thinking of the cause of the war in the Xia Kingdom many years ago, he immediately stepped aside.

"I'm sorry, sir."

He said, "We were just conducting a routine check, and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you."

"Your documents have been checked, and we've confirmed there's nothing concealed in the vehicle. Please proceed!"

As he spoke, he stepped aside.

Gu Guanhai scoffed.

He snorted coldly and led Yu Mingxiang into the car.

The vehicle started and sped off towards the residential area for foreign affairs officials.

The group of police officers who remained behind them looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Sir, why did you let him in?"

A young police officer couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Didn't the higher-ups say that the people inside are very restless right now, and to prevent any accidents, they're restricting people from entering or leaving this area?"

The middle-aged police officer sighed upon hearing this.

"well!"

He said, "But he is indeed a staff member of the foreign affairs office. There is chaos outside right now. If we forcibly prevent them from returning home, we may not be able to bear the responsibility if something happens to them outside."

Young police officer: "What do you mean?"

Middle-aged police officer: "I'm afraid of losing face, losing face is so shameful."

Young police officer: ???

Middle-aged police officer: "Back then, Japan lost a person in China, and then... a war broke out..."

As a beacon of the world, the Western Empire was naturally not afraid of the Xia Kingdom.

But now...

A serious leak occurred at the research base.

If this matter is not handled properly, it could very well escalate into a major conflict. Therefore, until it is clear which force stole the secrets from their research base, their orders are only to restrict the entry and exit of these foreign affairs officers, and even prevent them from entering to search...

The cause of action is unjustified.

Without concrete evidence, they can reasonably suspect everyone in the current foreign affairs officer enclave, but they can't do anything about them.

The foreign affairs officers' quarters were located at the foot of a mountain.

It was a villa area that was right next to each other.

After Gu Guanhai and Yu Mingxiang entered the residential area, they saw that the villa area was full of people, some whispering to each other, others looking around...

After all, such a big thing happened in California, it's normal for them to be a little agitated.

Gu Guanhai: ...

After confirming that although there were Western Empire police officers patrolling the settlement, there weren't many more than before, he turned to look at Yu Mingxiang.

"young married woman!"

He said, "We should get to work!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang nodded emphatically.

"Um!"
