Seeing that the matter was settled, Minister Liu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Haha, you have such high moral character! With a family member like you guiding my nephew and sister-in-law, they won't have to go on business trips. I have other things to do, so I'll be going now. You're busy."
The propaganda minister understood his meaning immediately: if this matter was handled well, his family would be safe, and he, Minister Liu, would be protected.
I smiled and saw him off.
Back in the office, I gulped down several mouthfuls of water.
Only then did he go out to find someone to make promotional slogans and posters.
Liu Meiling, who overheard these events outside, waited until the person left and was certain they wouldn't be back anytime soon before lifting the cover off the bamboo basket.
They left quickly.
She was naive, but not stupid. The person in front of her clearly mentioned the Xiao family, and combined with what he said later, she could easily guess his purpose.
She and Bai Yajing were such good friends, how could she not know about her relationship with the Xiao family!
Besides, her best friend looked at Commander Xiao differently! She's not blind!
All the way, he was thinking about how to get the news to Bai Yajing.
But then I thought, now that the propaganda department has been dragged into this mess, it's bound to be under scrutiny.
Her phone calls and letters contained absolutely no useful information.
what to do?
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became.
When it was time to get off work and go home, Mr. Liu was also home.
Liu Meiling told her father about what happened today, which made him so angry that he glared at her with his beard bristling.
"You're really brave! You'll listen to anything! Are you out of your mind?"
Liu Meiling had no choice but to try to appease her father, saying, "Oh, Dad, I know what I'm doing. This involves Ya Jing, and I can't just ignore it. You know why those two were forced to return to the countryside."
Mr. Liu couldn't resist and gently tapped her forehead.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. It's not just about that girl Ya Jing, it's also about Comrade Bai!"
His daughter still harbored feelings for that other person. How could he, as her father, not know that?
Facing her elderly father, Liu Meiling didn't hesitate at all and readily admitted it.
"That's right, they're all in cahoots with the Xiao family, it doesn't matter who they're with. I don't believe those people won't take care of them when they're free."
Ever since she learned from her father that the Xiao family had been sent down to Xinghua Village, she understood how deep Bai Yajing and the others' entanglement with the Xiao family was.
"You!" Mr. Liu said, his voice filled with disappointment and frustration as he looked at his daughter.
Liu Meiling tugged at his sleeve and shook it. "Smart dad, give your daughter some advice! I can't send messages from here anymore. But I can't just watch them get hurt..."
Mr. Liu was also worried. He certainly didn't want to see anything happen to that uncle and nephew.
"Let me think about it." His connections were all within the research institute, but the only person in the institute capable of transmitting information undetected was the old director. The old director's students were all over the world, and his research results were being applied everywhere. Only he had that ability…
But that person was engrossed in his research and never got involved in the outside world's troubles, so he would never agree to it.
Liu Meiling didn't bother him to come up with a solution.
She herself was also thinking about what to do.
