“His outburst is not the end of the world; it has dragged us all down with him.”
Lu Zhufeng thought to himself, "You're the coward, your whole family are cowards," but on the surface he smiled flatteringly.
"We subordinates are on tenterhooks, and our superiors have their own difficulties. I would like to ask, if I may be so bold as to ask, which superior was summoned this time?"
"So that I can be mentally prepared."
The officer glanced at him sideways and saw that he spoke fluently and his eyes darted around; he was clearly a prime candidate to be a lackey.

There was no further conversation. Soon, Commander Gao led Lu Zhufeng to a room on the top floor, knocked lightly on the door to indicate that the person he was looking for had been brought, and then turned and left.
