A series of hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor of an inconspicuous government office in Kyoto, China.
The last door in the corridor was pushed open, revealing a man in a white short-sleeved shirt sitting at a desk, looking down at something. Hearing the door open, the man frowned and looked up.
"What is it?" The man had a mature and handsome face and a deep voice, suggesting that he must have been the kind of man who would make girls scream when he was young.
"Chief, we caught two suspicious individuals at the border last night. One of them fled the country, and the other hasn't spoken during questioning. The immigration authorities identified him through facial recognition..." The subordinate paused his report.
The man looked at you, and when his dark pupils looked at you, you couldn't see any end in them, as if you had no secrets from him.
The “speaking” is concise and to the point, without any unnecessary words.
"The technical department detected that they were trying to access your family's information."
"The report from over there has reached our department, but I haven't alerted them. I'm reporting directly to you first." The man didn't dare to make a decision on his own and could only consult with you first.
He had been following his leader for two or three years. Before he retired from the army, his former leader helped him arrange this place. He knew how meticulous his leader was. In any case, he hadn't seen his leader's family in the past few years, and his leader was very tight-lipped.
If it weren't for the reconnaissance on the border being detected by them, who would have known that their leader, who seemed like a superhero, actually had a family? They had always suspected that the leader had no family.
But the confidentiality agreements they sign in this industry aren't for nothing; these kinds of gossips can't be discussed.
"Do you have any photos uploaded from over there?" the man asked.
"Yes," the subordinate said, placing the folder in front of the man and turning to refill his teacup.
In the few seconds it took for the man to hear his subordinate speak, he had already considered a variety of possibilities.
Open the folder; inside are details of how this person was caught at the border, and how another person who was with her abandoned her and ran away.
Turning to the second page, a photograph inside stunned the expressionless man. He picked up the folder, his hand trembling slightly as if trying to confirm something.
The subordinate standing in front of the man had never seen his leader show such an expression before. He was very curious about who the leader was looking at in the photo, but the leader's expression lasted for a very short time, so short that the subordinate thought he had just seen it wrong.
"Xiao Li, go and call Xiao Lu over," the man said to his subordinate standing in front of him, closing the folder.
Before closing the door, subordinate Xiao Li noticed that his boss was carefully opening the folder and looking at it again. Xiao Li closed the door, puzzled.
Xiao Li knocked on the door of an office in the corridor. "Is Section Chief Lu in?"
"Yes, please come in." A young man's voice came from inside.
The door was pushed open, and a young man stood up to greet him. "Secretary Li, what are your instructions?"
"Section Chief Lu, please don't tease me. Director Chu needs to speak with you." Xiao Li greeted the man with a smile and explained why he had come.
"Alright, I'll go now. Would you mind if I told you what it is?" Section Chief Lu asked Xiao Li, who was walking ahead.
"I don't know the specifics, but the leader's expression is a bit off," Xiao Li reminded Section Chief Lu.
Section Chief Lu listened without saying anything, but he probably understood what was going on.
"Come in"
"Director Chu, you wanted to see me?"
"Lu Zhou, come and sit down. I need to trouble you with something." The leader appeared perfectly normal at the moment.
