"No rush." He did have things to do, but right now he just wanted to follow Su Ziqing around like a shadow.
Lu Linghong's face darkened slightly. "Mr. Gong..."
Lu Linghong didn't want Gong Chengjue to go with her because she didn't want Gong Chengjue to know about Feng Xixuan's other identities.
However, Gong Chengjue completely failed to understand his intentions, or rather, he didn't consider his thoughts at all. He simply looked at Su Ziqing and said, "I'll go with you, okay?"
"Um……"
"Ziqing!" Lu Linghong interrupted their conversation once again.
Gong Chengjue was displeased, his face turning slightly cold. "Mr. Lu, surely your family upbringing taught you not to interrupt other people's conversations?"
This is just short of saying directly that Lu Linghong has no manners.
Lu Linghong immediately retorted sarcastically, "Then Mr. Gong's family must have taught him how to politely recognize someone's tactful refusal."
"Others?" Gong Chengjue nodded. "Of course there are, but Ziqing is not someone else to me. Ziqing and I are us."
Assistant Luo secretly gave his Mr. Gong a big thumbs up, praising his brilliant counterattack.
Lu Linghong scoffed, "Mr. Gong's arrogance hasn't changed at all over the years."
"Is Mr. Lu attacking me?" Gong Chengjue raised an eyebrow.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become tense, Su Ziqing quickly interrupted, "Let's stop talking now and go pick up Senior Brother Feng."
Lu Linghong refused to get in the car, saying, "He can't go."
Su Ziqing felt that Gong Chengjue and her "family" were really incompatible.
However, she also felt that this was all a misunderstanding that caused her to have a bad reputation before even meeting him. She thought that things would clear up as they got to know each other better.
Of course, if there's a chance to spend time together.
"Lu Linghong!" Gong Chengjue had gone to great lengths to get Su Ziqing to let him go with her, but Lu Linghong had stopped him time and time again, which was really annoying!
“Mr. Gong, this is our business. It’s not appropriate for an outsider like you to go.” After saying that, he looked at Su Ziqing, “Ziqing, I’m sure your senior brother wouldn’t want to see Mr. Gong.”
It's obvious to anyone that Feng Xixuan doesn't want to see Gong Chengjue.
But this will...
"If you consider someone as an outsider, then Mr. Lu, you're not even an outsider; you can only be called a stranger." Gong Chengjue was particularly barbed tonight.
They didn't even offer to give way.
Luo Jinhan felt that something was off about Gong Chengjue.
"Alright, senior brother, stop talking." Su Ziqing also felt that Gong Chengjue was acting strangely tonight, and she looked at Lu Linghong reassuringly, "I know what's going on."
“…” Lu Linghong frowned.
“There’s not enough room in the car, Mr. Lu, please take your own car.” Gong Chengjue got into the car and said arrogantly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Luo Jinhan closed the car door.
The two were so in sync that they didn't give Lu Linghong a chance to refute them.
…………………………
Chief Su's face was dark, but he had no choice but to answer the phone, "Yes, yes."
After saying "yes" several times, Chief Su finally hung up the phone.
He slammed down the phone and looked at Feng Xixuan, who was sitting in front of him as if he were at home having tea.
This matter is so important that even the minister was alarmed...
This minister is not an ordinary minister, but the one with the most power at the top.
I was originally planning to teach him a lesson, but once I entered his territory, I wouldn't be able to leave as anyone else would.
However, before they could even touch a hair on his head, the minister called.
The orders from above were that not only should they not harm a single hair on his head, but they should also send him back as a VIP…
Feng Xixuan sat there, seemingly unaware of anything, looking at Chief Su, "Chief Su, how do you plan to get me to cooperate with the investigation?"
That's a serious statement; without the minister's phone order just now, no one would have thought it was sarcastic.
But clearly, this person knew what he had just received on the phone.
After thinking for a moment, Chief Su guessed that it was in the hospital, where he was communicating with Su Ziqing in a foreign language.
He had assumed the Gong family would use their connections, but even though Gong Changhong came in person, he had no intention of letting this person go back.
Once you're in, you won't leave without suffering a lot of pain, but I never expected it to turn out like this.
Chief Su felt disgusted, as if he had swallowed a fly. He never expected that he would pick someone who was not very capable, but instead, he had picked the most difficult one to deal with.
Even if it were Gong Chengjue, if he were to bring him over, it would still be acceptable to make things difficult for him with words.
And this foreigner couldn't even be verbally harassed.
But this foreigner deliberately provoked him.
"Mr. Feng, this is all a misunderstanding." Chief Su suppressed his anger. Rank is everything, especially when it comes to orders from the highest minister.
This matter can be settled privately if it's minor, but if it becomes serious, it becomes a diplomatic issue.
These words also convey the meaning of the minister's statement.
As for Mr. Feng's specific identity, it remains a secret.
Oh.
"Misunderstanding?" Feng Xixuan looked puzzled. "I'm sorry, my understanding of Mandarin isn't very deep, but just now, Chief Su acted like I was the murderer in front of everyone, saying he wanted to take me away to cooperate with the investigation. Am I wrong?"
"Mr. Feng, what I just said was 'cooperating with the investigation.' Everyone who attended the banquet tonight has an obligation to cooperate with the investigation," Chief Su said in an apologetic tone.
“Oh, but Chief Su only took me with him, which makes me think that you are bullying me because I am a foreigner. I think I need to make a call to our consulate.”
Feng Xixuan looked very serious.
Chief Su felt that Feng Xixuan was just looking for trouble.
"Mr. Feng is joking..."
"Do you think I'm joking?" Feng Xixuan asked seriously.
Chief Su: "..." Damn it, how do we get this person out of here unharmed?
Considering his current official position, he can boast that he can do whatever he wants in the capital, but no one would dare to offend him.
Now, however, he has to lower his attitude and coax this foreigner.
We're worried that if someone gets upset, they might refuse to leave, which would be troublesome.
"The matter has been investigated and clarified on the way, Mr. Feng, you have been cleared of suspicion." Chief Su could only continue to provide an explanation regarding this 'investigation'.
"Really?" Feng Xixuan asked doubtfully.
"Yes."
"Does Chief Su mean it's a done deal?" Feng Xixuan lightly flicked her fingernails.
"Yes, Mr. Feng, you can leave now." Chief Su still wanted to save face.
However……
“Mr. Su.” Feng Xixuan slightly raised his eyelids and looked at Chief Su. “Are you suggesting I leave on my own?”
Chief Su, "..." Otherwise, what do you want?
Are they really going to give him a VIP send-off? Where will that leave his pride?!
"I think Chief Su should continue the investigation, such as what country I come from, what my identity is, and what my purpose is in coming to China. Of course... everything must be kept secret. I'm sure the Minister has already told you that this is classified information, right?"
