Finally arriving at the door of the study, the leader gently pushed it open and walked in. This was the first time in his life that he had seen Qingyao in person! Although he had heard many rumors and stories about her before, the shock of meeting her face to face still surprised him.
Qingyao was seen sitting quietly in front of the desk. Her simple and elegant outfit could not hide her otherworldly and cold temperament. Her clear eyes swept over lightly, without any intention of flattery or fawning, nor did she reveal any disrespect. She just received the leader with a cold yet elegant attitude.
This unique way of treating people made the leader even more curious and inquisitive about Qingyao.
Qingyao raised her eyes to look at the highest leader of China, her red lips parted slightly, her voice steady but with a hint of alienation: "I wonder why the leader is looking for me like this?" She looked at him frankly. Although she was polite, she was not overly humble. It was as if there was an invisible aura around her. In this majestic and solemn study, she was able to remain calm and just wait quietly for the other party's response. She looked calm and composed, as if she had already seen through everything, and seemed to be unperturbed by anything in the world.
The top leader looked directly at Qingyao with a deep and solemn gaze, his tone sincere and with an unavoidable seriousness: "Ms. Qingyao, your hasty decision to go to Country M this time is by no means ordinary. The international relations, potential risks and unknown variables involved behind it may have a profound impact on China and even the world. Here, I would like to solemnly ask you, can you tell me the purpose of your trip to Country M this time?" The leader's voice echoed in the quiet conference study, and every word seemed to carry a thousand-pound burden.
Qingyao raised her eyebrows slightly, and she asked calmly: "As the highest leader of China, you must have spies everywhere and be well-informed. You should be aware of my trip to Country M this time, so why ask again?" Her tone was calm, but there seemed to be an invisible power that made the atmosphere in the study room instantly become subtle.
The leader was startled for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Ms. Qingyao, although I have many sources of intelligence, this matter is of grave importance. I want to hear your own words to verify the truth and understand your true intentions. The current international situation is like a crumbling building. Your trip to Country M may be the key fulcrum that pries the balance. I must be extremely cautious."
Qingyao sighed softly, her eyes growing serious. "Since you're so persistent, I'll speak frankly. You've likely heard of the crisis beneath Country M's glaciers. If those ancient creatures awaken, the world will be doomed. I'm going there to find a solution and prevent this catastrophe, not for personal gain or to get involved in unwarranted international disputes."
The leader nodded slightly, taking slow, measured steps, each one a reflection of deep consideration. After a moment's silence, he finally spoke, "I understand the purpose of your journey. However, whether or not we can obtain even a shred of crucial information is truly uncertain. Regardless, I hope you return soon. Upon your return, if conditions permit, I hope you will consider exploring the glaciers within our borders for China."
Upon hearing this, Qingyao nodded in agreement without hesitation, indicating she had no objection. The leader stared at her deeply, then slowly reached out and pulled a document from a folder he was carrying. This document was clearly extremely important, and the leader's actions were particularly cautious.
Qingyao took the document, gently flipping it open, her eyes quickly scanning the text and images. To her surprise, the description of ancient creatures here was even more detailed than the one provided by Country M. She carefully read through it word for word, then closed the document and, without hesitation, burned it in front of her leader. As the document gradually crumbled to ash in the flames, Qingyao raised her head, met her leader's gaze, and said, "I understand. Please return home with peace of mind."
Upon hearing this, the leader nodded again and departed as quietly as he had arrived. Although the residents noticed that two motorcades had entered the villa in the deepest part of the complex within a single day, they knew clearly what to say and what to keep to themselves. Therefore, rather than spreading the news, they warned their families not to provoke Qingyao, the mysterious figure.
