Wang Xiaolan was startled by the sudden voice. If Zhao Lihan hadn't been in front of her, she would have thought she had walked into the wrong house.
After calming herself down, she looked past Zhao Lihan and at the tall man. His eyes were as bright as stars, sparkling; his nose was tall and straight, giving people a feeling of firmness and courage; his lips were thick and three-dimensional, revealing a hint of calmness and restraint.
Wang Xiaolan felt that this person's eyes were like sharp arrows, piercing the heart and making people shudder. That sharp gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the soul and make people feel fear.
This man is called Zeng Qiang, 45 years old, and is the head of the investigation section of the National Security Bureau. They came to find Zhao Lihan with the leaders of Zhao Lihan's troops. They have an important task to be assigned to Zhao Lihan. This time, it's not just Zhao Lihan, they also invited Wang Xiaolan to go with them.
Wang Xiaolan didn't react for a moment and looked at the five people in the living room with an expressionless face, especially Zeng Qiang. His serious look made her feel a little uncomfortable.
I muttered to myself, "This is my home! Why are you calling me in such an imperative tone? Do you really think this is your office? You're telling me to hurry in, but I won't!"
She thought again, "This isn't right! They're here to see Zhao Lihan. If I give them a cold shoulder like this, won't that embarrass Zhao Lihan?"
So she took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and slowly walked into the house.
Zhao Lihan noticed that her face looked a little unhappy, so he gently pulled the corner of her clothes and reminded her, "Wife, don't be like this. Among these people are comrades from our army and comrades from the National Security Bureau."
After hearing what he said, Wang Xiaolan looked at Zhao Lihan with a puzzled look.
"Wife, they came to us for something important."
"You're still recovering from your injury."
"Well, they do."
Although she was a little unhappy, she tried to calm her heart. Then, she smiled at Zhao Lihan without saying anything.
She walked into the living room with light steps to greet everyone.
"Hello."
Seeing that everyone was standing, she said, "Dear leaders and comrades, please take a seat. We are sorry for the poor hospitality."
Then, turning around, he blamed Zhao Lihan, saying, "They are such rare distinguished guests. Why don't you get them some refreshments? Why are you just sitting there doing nothing?"
When Zhao Lihan was asked this by his wife, he felt that he had forgotten about it. He said a little embarrassedly: "I was just discussing work..."
"You stay and chat with the guests! I'll go get some snacks from the kitchen."
As he said this, he was about to go into the kitchen.
At this time, Zeng Qiang said, "Comrade Wang Xiaolan, don't be in a hurry. Please sit down! We have something to ask you."
Wang Xiaolan raised her right foot and was about to step into the kitchen when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.
Her body suddenly froze, her left foot, about to fall, stopped in mid-air. Time seemed to freeze, her eyes wide open, a look of astonishment on her face.
After a while, Wang Xiaolan came to her senses. She took a deep breath and slowly withdrew her right foot from the threshold. Then, she gently lowered her left foot.
She turned around immediately and bumped into Zhao Lihan.
Zhao Lihan pulled Wang Xiaolan aside and said, "Wife, don't be anxious. These people are quite powerful."
Then he took his hand and said, "Wife, don't be afraid."
Wang Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him and thought, "What am I afraid of? I haven't done anything bad."
Zhao Lihan pulled her and returned to the group of people.
"Let me introduce you."
Wang Xiaolan looked at Zhao Lihan in surprise, as if asking, "Do these people need an introduction? They're looking for you, what does that have to do with me? You always avoid me when you talk about things, so what's wrong today? None of them look like people with nothing to do..."
Zhao Lihan knew that Wang Xiaolan was confused, so he gently pinched her slender waist.
"Come here, wife."
He pointed to an empty seat and said, "Sit here, wife." Then he sat down next to her.
Zhao Lihan pointed at Zeng Qiang, who was sitting across from them, and said, "This Section Chief Zeng is from the National Security Bureau."
Wang Xiaolan looked at him, then politely said, "Hello, Chief Zeng!"
Section Chief Zeng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Hello, Comrade Xiao Wang."
He then introduced the man wearing glasses next to Zeng Qiang, who was about 26 years old, and said, "He is Section Chief Zeng's assistant, Chen Lixin."
Wang Xiaolan nodded at him and said, "Hello, Comrade Chen."
Chen Lixin said politely, "Hello, Comrade Wang."
Chen Lixin is from the National Security Bureau and he works in technology.
Then he pointed to a tall, handsome male officer in military uniform and said, "This is my comrade in the army, Gong Jianguo. I was able to escape death thanks to his help. He is my lifesaver."
Gong Jianguo is a scout and Zhao Lihan's former partner. This time he and his comrades from the National Security Bureau came to find Zhao Lihan because of a case.
…
Zeng Qiang, who was sitting opposite, had been observing Wang Xiaolan.
Wang Xiaolan felt unhappy seeing him like this, but she didn't show it for Zhao Lihan's sake.
To be honest, Wang Xiaolan had some indescribable feelings towards this person.
After Zhao Lihan finished his introduction, Zeng Qiang began to speak.
"Comrade Xiao Wang, we've already talked to your wife before you came back. We came here to look for you. Liu Feng introduced us."
When Wang Xiaolan heard Liu Feng, she was shocked and thought to herself: "Liu Feng, did I tell him about my situation?"
