The car slowly drove into an office building and slowly stopped in the open space in front of the building.
Xiao Li got out of the car first, ran downstairs to the reception desk, grabbed two bottles of water, handed them to the soldier who drove them, and expressed his gratitude to the soldier who brought them here.
Lu Zhou, who was still in the car, got out with the woman. After closing the car door, Lu Zhou greeted the soldier, who smiled and said he was too kind before turning the wheel and driving back to report.
"Section Chief Lu and Secretary Li are back?" The two entered the office building with a woman. Colleagues passing by greeted them politely, and the two responded politely in return.
Passersby cast curious glances at the woman the two had brought back.
"Secretary Li, go tell the director we're back. I'll take this lady to 101," Lu Zhou said, turning to Li, who was standing beside the woman.
"Okay, don't leave. Wait for the director there," Xiao Li reminded Lu Zhou before leaving.
Seeing Xiao Li go upstairs, Lu Zhou said to the woman, "Come on, ma'am, please follow me."
Lu Zhou led the woman toward office 101.
"Knock knock" "Come in"
"Chief, we're back." The man, who had been looking down at the documents, looked up and immediately stood up when he saw the people coming in.
"How is it? Did you bring the person back safely?" The voice was filled with urgency.
"We brought it back. Section Chief Lu is taking it to 101 right now." 101 has always been an office they use for interrogations.
Upon hearing that the person had arrived, the man lifted his leg to walk out. He got up too quickly and walked too fast, and almost tripped when he reached the door. Fortunately, he managed to grab the door frame in time to avoid falling.
Xiao Li, standing to the side, was utterly shocked by his boss's actions. Who was that woman to make his boss act like that?
Xiao Li followed closely behind the bureau chief, who walked briskly to the office door. The man stopped, stood at the door to compose himself, took several deep breaths, and slowly pushed the door open with trembling hands before going inside.
The woman inside had her back to him, so the man couldn't see her face.
"Director, you're here. Secretary Li and I have brought the person back safely." Lu Zhou quickly reported to the director as soon as he saw him enter.
"Okay, thank you both. You've worked hard. Li and Lu, you can take two days off, it doesn't count as your own."
Lu Zhou, who was sitting opposite the woman, noticed that the woman, who had been quiet for the past two days, raised her head when she heard the director speak. Her mouth was slightly open, her eyes were filled with disbelief, and her eyes even turned red and filled with tears.
Lu Zhou, who was still in a daze, quickly realized what the director had just said to him.
"Okay, thank you, Director. It's no trouble at all. If there's nothing else, we'll head out now."
After saying that, he slowly walked out.
The moment he closed the door, he saw the woman stand up.
She turned around and looked at their bureau chief with tears streaming down her face. The moment the door closed, the woman lunged at the bureau chief.
Lu Zhou, looking shocked, nudged Xiao Li with his elbow and whispered...
"Did you just see that? That woman threw herself into the bureau chief's arms." The words were full of gossip.
Xiao Li, who was standing next to him, was also in a state of shock and nodded hurriedly, "I saw it, I saw it."
"Hey, do you think this might be the bureau chief's long-lost lover?"
Xiao Li shook his head blankly. "I don't know."
"You idiot." In just a few short minutes, Lu Zhou had already conjured up a whole story of love and hate in his mind, even imagining several scenarios of what would happen. He was just too curious.
