"Not here."

"What do you mean by that?" Hai Yunfeng was instantly angry. He had been anxiously waiting for so long just to confirm that An’an was safe, and now he’s told she’s not there.

"Why did you call me if she’s not there? Are you out of your mind?" Despite Hai Yunfeng’s usual good demeanor, he couldn’t control his anger at this moment.

The confidential secretary was left gaping. He... He had been with the minister for such a long time and had never seen him lose his temper and scold someone!

Today was truly an eye-opener.

"Alright then! I’ll hang up." Su Huili chuckled and was about to hang up.

His cunning was well-known. When he said he’d hang up, he really would. Hai Yunfeng instantly regretted it; if An’an couldn’t answer the phone, he at least needed to find out her current situation, otherwise he truly wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

"Wait..." Meng Xingzhi hurriedly stopped him.

The phone was on speaker, and everyone could hear the voice.

"Chairman Meng." Su Hai languidly raised his eyebrows on the other end of the line.

Su Hai was quite displeased that Li Xia’s subordinates attempted to assassinate Meng Xingzhi, which he had already heard about from his brother. He couldn’t believe that Meng Xingzhi hadn’t recognized Su Yun.

Anyone in the world could fail to recognize Su Yun, but Meng Xingzhi had no excuse.

"Su Hai, report the situation!" Meng Xingzhi wouldn’t engage in banter; nobody could win against Su Hai in an argument.

"Immediately report An’an’s situation." Hai Yunfeng quickly calmed down, his face drawn as he ordered. His rank and status were above Su Hai’s, and although they belonged to different systems, he could still issue commands.

"Yes!" Su Hai had just been intentionally provoking the other party, but now he put aside his indifference and seriously said, "Currently, everything is going smoothly."

"Indeed, we know that your achievements, particularly in foreign diplomacy, are notable."

The Foreign Affairs Department had already issued a notification letter; the higher-ups were all aware.

"Xu Zongdui’s assignments with the rescue team and the External Communication Center in M Country as well as Xilin University are incomplete; it’s estimated to take another three months, possibly longer."

"Why so long? With Qigang’s ability, three months should be more than enough." Hai Yunfeng frowned.

"Because he went to M Country’s Gambling City."

Perhaps most people wouldn’t know the name of Gambling City, but both Meng Xingzhi and Hai Yunfeng were fully aware. It’s a city sustained by its gambling industry and has the highest global crime rate.

This is unimaginable on the mainland.

"Something happened to Qin Yue, and Xu Qigang needs to rescue him."

"I knew it!"

"..."

Everyone in the office, including the confidential secretary, showed a surprised expression because Qin Yue’s border-crossing was kept in strict confidence, and nobody knew where he was. Even if Meng Xingzhi and others speculated, they couldn’t be certain.

Now hearing from Su Hai, they received confirmation for the first time.

"You people have got some nerve."

"What happened? Be specific." Hai Yunfeng’s mind was racing, and in such a short time, he had already thought of many solutions. The toughest issue would be explaining to the Southern District and the Qin Family.

If such a precious gem were to really die abroad, the consequences would be significant.

The Qin Family would probably go crazy.

No matter how excellent Qin Xue is, she cannot compare to the frivolous little hooligan. Even a blind person could see that the little hooligan is the future pillar of the Qin Family, an infinitely potential General Star.
