Normally, upon hearing this, Chi Xia would have laughed and said something, but this time she didn't. She still said in a firm voice, "It's very important for me to see you."
Hearing this, Qin Zhao fell silent. After a long while, he said in a low voice, "Okay, let's go to Xizi Hutong and meet at number 38."
Chi Xia hung up the phone, made an excuse to tell Zhang Xin that she might be late for work in the afternoon, and then drove to Xizi Hutong.
When she arrived at courtyard number thirty-eight, Qin Zhao was already there.
Xizi Hutong is located in an area where highly infected individuals live. It is a teahouse run by the wife of Qin Zhao's subordinate.
As expected, it was very quiet and deserted, with no customers.
Qin Zhao led Chi Xia into a tea room, closed the door, sat down, and looked at her with a smile, saying, "Look at you, you have to make it look like a secret meeting between underground party members. People who know us know we have something to discuss, but people who don't might think we're having an affair!"
"The First Lady's affair is explosive news. I guarantee the entire empire will know within a day!"
Chi Xia ignored his teasing and looked at him, asking, "How are you planning to get there? By helicopter?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhao was stunned for a moment, staring intently at Chi Xia. After a long while, he forced a smile and said, "What did you say? I don't understand."
Chi Xia met his gaze and whispered, "I had Little Tail eavesdrop on Han Junche, and after you left, I also monitored you. When I called you, you were packing your bags."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhao frowned and looked at Chi Xia with some annoyance, saying, "When did you start eavesdropping on him? And why did you decide to spy on me?"
“I had Xiaoweiba monitor Han Junche because he’s been acting strangely every day since Mr. Ning and the rescue team went missing. I guessed he might be thinking of sacrificing himself, so I had Xiaoweiba listen to him. I didn’t want to be the last one to know.”
Chi Xia replied, "As for monitoring you, it's because your reaction in the office is too strange. Mr. Mei and the others don't understand you, but I do. If you didn't have any ideas, you would definitely scold Han Junche immediately and come up with all sorts of ideas to prevent him from sacrificing himself."
"But you didn't. Even Mr. Yang and Director Xin were contradicting Han Junche and trying to persuade him, but as his closest and most trusted brother, you didn't say a word. You only asked, 'What should I do?' and after getting the answer, you slammed the door and left."
After hearing this, Qin Zhao snorted and said, "I knew it, Han Junche underestimated you."
After saying this, he looked at Chi Xia and said, "You know everything. You asked me out to stop me?"
"No."
Chi Xia shook her head: "I'm going with you. But the one impersonating an immune person isn't you, it's me."
"Nonsense!" Qin Zhao immediately refuted Chi Xia's words: "Do you know what you're talking about? Let me tell you, perhaps Han Junche and I have different attitudes in other areas, but on your issue, we are of the same mind!"
"Whether it's Han Junche sacrificing himself or me impersonating an immune person, among countless reasons, protecting you is the most important one. And now you're saying you're going to impersonate an immune person? You're making us..."
"Don't be so quick to dismiss me."
Chi Xia interrupted him and said seriously, "What I'm about to say may be beyond your comprehension, but please believe me, every word I say is sincere and true."
