Soon the two ministers came over in a hurry, panting. Seeing Lin Ruolan was safe and sound, expressions of surprise and relief appeared on their faces.
"Minister Lin, I'm glad you're safe and sound."
"Thank goodness, we heard about the fire and rushed over here. We are finally relieved."
"Hey... who is this?"
The two old men looked at Fang Ming who was standing next to Lin Ruolan. The distance between them clearly exceeded the relationship between a superior and a subordinate, and it even caused some misunderstanding.
Lin Ruolan's expression was calm. "I am sorry for your concern, Ministers. This is Mr. Fang Mingfang whom I mentioned at the meeting."
Fang Ming saw the two ministers lost in thought and immediately put on a sophisticated smile.
"Mr. Fang is so young. It's true that heroes emerge young."
"The military always mentioned your many deeds of repelling zombie monsters at meetings, saying that you must be given adequate rewards and treatment, and that they would hold a commendation meeting for you. Unfortunately, Minister Lin rejected it."
"I've heard that Mr. Fang is very capable. I wonder what kind of experience you had in this last days that led to your current talent?"
Fang Ming looked at the two old men who were talking to each other, their words full of temptation, and responded coldly.
"The two ministers should pay attention to this fire and not let it burn you."
Minister Zhao reacted immediately, frowning as he looked at the burning house, "Why didn't anyone come to put out the fire? Where are the volunteers and law enforcement officers?!"
Lin Ruolan suddenly turned his head and looked at the two colleagues who seemed to be acting out a bad drama, and said lightly, "I told them not to worry about it. Since someone wants to start a fire, let him burn to his heart's content!"
Minister Li felt something was wrong and his heart skipped a beat, but Minister Zhao was fearless and spoke with a hint of reproach in his tone.
"Minister Lin, please don't act on impulse. How can we let the fire continue to burn? Send someone to put it out quickly."
Lin Ruolan had a faint smile on his face, his eyes shining in the firelight, making people feel inexplicably creepy.
"Are you teaching me how to do things, Zhao Gou?"
Minister Zhao finally realized that something was wrong. "Lin... Minister Lin, I know... you are angry. Weren't all those arsonists shot on the spot? Why bother..."
"Tell me?" Lin Ruolan put his hand on Fang Ming's shoulder in front of everyone, turned around and asked the secretary next to him, "Do you know the mastermind behind the arsonists?"
Minister Li finally came to his senses and said confidently, "There is no mastermind behind this. It's just that you decided to retreat hastily, which aroused public anger. If it weren't for the support of the military, we would never agree to your decision. Now..."
Fang Ming suddenly stretched out his finger and gestured to keep quiet. The two old men immediately felt a chill behind them, as if they were being stared at by some terrifying beast.
The secretary looked at the strange atmosphere and hesitated, "Uh... Minister, I don't know. I will definitely ask the law enforcement team to check it out."
Lin Ruolan shook her head and looked at the two people who were sweating coldly.
"If I were the one behind the scenes, if something unexpected happened, I would either flee immediately or pretend that nothing had happened. It would be best if I could use the excuse of caring to see if the most damned guy was dead."
"Minister Lin!" Zhao Gou shouted, his face showing no guilt at all, but an angry look of being slandered. "As the highest leader of the security zone, you must know what you are talking about! If you don't have evidence, I will impeach you at the meeting tomorrow!"
Lin Ruolan was still chatting with her secretary, "You know what? The two ministers' residences are not the closest to here, but they happened to get here the fastest."
"I believe that if nothing unexpected had happened today, their two residences would have been on fire, and they were not inside at all."
Seeing Minister Li panicking, Zhao Gou snorted coldly, "Where's the evidence?"
"There is no evidence. It's all my wishful thinking. But..." Lin Ruolan stood behind Fang Ming, put her hands on his shoulders, and gently leaned her chin on him. She whispered in his ear in a very ambiguous tone.
"Mr. Fang, are you willing to believe me?"
The secretary shuddered all over, and her heart finally settled down.
