"Arenât you busy? I heard important people are very busy."
"Busy!" Hai Yunfeng nodded. He really was busy, completely tied up with things lately. But even he didnât know why he felt the urge to check on this girl every day.
If he didnât come that day, he felt an emptiness inside. He couldnât concentrate on anything, which was something he had never experienced before.
"I just want to figure some things out."
"Have you figured them out?"
"No!" Hai Yunfeng shook his head, "But I believe Iâll figure them out eventually."
The school bell rang in the morning, and Anâan waved her hand and said, "I have to go to class, goodbye."
The confidential secretary was following at a distance, only approaching when Sheng An left. "Minister, itâs time!"
"Hmm!"
The two of them walked away, and as they were about to go out the side gate, Hai Yunfeng suddenly stopped.
"Whatâs wrong?"
"Someoneâs following us."
The confidential secretary was terrified, immediately pulling out a weapon from his waist, but Hai Yunfeng calmly pressed down his arm, "Donât panic, thereâs no intent to kill."
"Even so, there must be ill intentions."
"Have someone check it out later." He hadnât brought anyone with him these past few days, aside from the confidential secretary, plus his fluctuating emotions had reduced his judgment and alertness regarding his surroundings.
Hai Yunfeng sighed inwardly at his mistake.
"Yes, Minister."
Han Xiaoqiu and Dong Shuhua stood still, their bodies tense with fear, only relaxing greatly once Hai Yunfeng left with his people.
"Hurry and go, someone will surely come to search later." Dong Shuhua pulled Han Xiaoqiu across the street before stopping.
The two exchanged a glance, growing increasingly frightened with their thoughts.
"I think weâll find out soon, right?" Dong Shuhua gasped, trembling, "Maybe this is the father-daughter instinct. For years, Hai Yunfeng hasnât even cared about his dad but comes to find her instead?"
"Wonder when Baoâer will remember." This was Han Xiaoqiuâs real concern.
"No way, we canât let her have the chance to remember." Dong Shuhua said fiercely, "Should we just get rid of her?"
Han Xiaoqiu had been waiting for Dong Shuhua to suggest this, as she had thought the same for a while. But because she was the one who instigated dealing with Shen Xinwen years ago, she always had reservations about it.
She had to drag Dong Shuhua down with her.
"Alright! I agree." She pretended to hesitate, then slowly nodded under Dong Shuhuaâs anxious gaze.
War Wolf Rescue Team headquarters
With Xu Qigangâs recovery, the entire team held an important meeting. First, everyone eagerly awaited the captainâs speech, followed by a warm welcome back to the fourth squadâs Captain Chen Yingjie.
The meeting was held at the training ground, and Xu Qigang nodded satisfactorily at the neatly lined-up comrades below. He stood in front and spoke clearly, affirming everyoneâs performance and critiquing certain aspects.
In his final summary, he loudly said, "Now letâs hear from the fourth squad captain, who saved my life this time."
"Oh oh oh..." Enthusiastic applause erupted below, especially from the fourth squad comrades, who were eager to show they belonged to the fourth squad.
They used to think the squad leader was too young and seemingly vulnerable. But now they knew, their squad leader was a true tough guy.
Chen Yingjie chuckled as he walked to the podium, first greeting the captain, then everyone present.
