Chapter 8: Shocking the Nation's Peace

  Xu Fan was holding a notebook and had just come out of Director Zhao's office when he was suddenly grabbed tightly by several male and female colleagues.

  Lu Qiang grabbed his collar, Hao Xiaofang hugged his left hand, Guo Qiuyue hugged his right hand, and several men ruthlessly pressed Xu Fan onto the chair!

  Lu Qiang's collar was grabbed too tightly, already constricting his trachea. The two women on either side were worried he would break free and run away, so not only did they use their small hands to exert force, but also used those suffocating high heels, one on the left and one on the right, to tightly squeeze his head, making it impossible for him to move at all!

  Xu Fan felt the softness and elasticity on both sides, and his throat was almost choked, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, this choking feeling is so good!

  Sun Qiuyue, the eldest in age and also the most ruthless in speech: "Be honest, where did you go just now after coming out of the director's office? Why didn't you even say hello when you came back and sneaked into the director's office again? If you don't confess clearly, we'll deal with you right now, humph!"

  He was choked and begged for mercy: "I... I said... isn't it enough? Let go, do you want to strangle me to death? Cough cough..."

  After everyone let go, this guy finally let out a sigh of relief, rubbed his neck with his hand for a while, and then put on a sad face: "Alas, I'm so unlucky today, alas..."

  Lu Qiang was anxious: "What's wrong? The child is just sick, isn't he? Whose child doesn't have a cold or fever? Don't change the subject, you haven't answered our question yet."

  "Alas, the child has a fever and I've just managed to calm him down. I haven't even had time to catch my breath, and now the director has called me away, saying it's the bureau chief looking for me. You think about it, what good could come of this?"

  "Ah? The director is looking for you? What does he want with you? Just because of this, he's going to kill you?"

  Hao Xiaofang's face was filled with a sly smile, and she didn't seem anxious at all.

  Xu Fan's bitter melon face turned even more bitter: "Alas, it can't be, how would Director Zhang bother with such a small matter like me? She wants me to be her secretary! You guys think about it, I'm a big man serving as the secretary of a female director, isn't that awkward? If I don't serve her well, who knows what will happen to me in a few days, maybe I'll just be left with a few bones!"

  The crowd shouted: "Ah!! Really!?", the horseback rider yelled: "Beat him! Beat this son of a bitch, let you pretend to be cool!" Before he even finished speaking, the girl's fists and legs rained down on this pretentious bastard, beating him until he begged for mercy...

  Everyone made a fuss for a while, and it was almost time to get off work. The crowd originally wanted this kid to treat them to a big meal and take advantage of him!

  Today is the first day as the secretary of the director, but tomorrow's schedule for the director has not been arranged yet, it seems that I won't be able to go back tonight if I don't finish it.

  With a wronged expression, he explained and apologized to the crowd, promising that next time he would let them slaughter him thoroughly. After finishing his words, he sent each of them off one by one, pushing and pulling them to the door, bidding farewell to the gentlemen and ladies, then sat back alone at his office desk to make plans and arrangements.

  At 8 o'clock in the evening, a report was placed on the desk of Wang Bingying, director of the Investigation Department of the National Security Bureau. The cover of the report had a line of words: "Guangdong Provincial Capital City 4.10 Case Investigation Report". Below it was Director Jiang Sihai's instructions: Find this person!

  After finishing reading the report, Wang Bingying rubbed her temples and fell into deep thought.

  Wang Bingying, 35 years old. To be seated as the director of the National Security Bureau's Investigation Department at such a young age is no small feat for this woman. With the nickname "Ice Beauty" on her left shoulder and "Iron Fist" on her right, she has been put up as a wanted poster in M Country's CIA, and those 007s from Y Country's Military Intelligence Division Six are also terrified of mentioning Ice Beauty. They have indeed suffered greatly, with countless elites falling at the hands of this Ice Beauty.

  Ice beauty is indeed beautiful, her beauty is not the youthful beauty of a girl, but the mature charm of a woman, and also the refreshing and elegant beauty; Ice beauty, due to her military background, naturally exudes an air of a soldier, with a heroic aura that makes people dare not gaze at her.

  She has the delicacy unique to women, as well as men's strength and decisiveness. Once she takes action, she is stable, accurate, and ruthless, handling cases with ease, making the heads of those foreign intelligence agencies suffer from headaches.

  The nickname "Iron Hand" came from this.

  After thinking for a while, Wang Bingying picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Huzi, inform Baige, you two come with me to Doucheng tomorrow, and book the tickets by the way." She said and hung up the phone.

  After being busy for more than an hour, Xu Fan finally sorted out the director's schedule for tomorrow; took a sip of water, stretched again, and turned off the computer to prepare for getting off work.

  Just as he was about to leave after locking the door, he suddenly thought that he didn't know if the director had finished work or not. If he hadn't and he left, it would be troublesome if something came up and they couldn't find him. Even if nothing happened, it would still be proper etiquette to bid farewell to the director before leaving; thinking this, he headed towards the director's office.

  The lights in the director's office were indeed on, and Xu Fan couldn't help but feel a little proud of his own cleverness.

  As he walked to the door, Xu Fan knocked on it. A melodious voice like that of a oriole came from inside: "Come in."

  Xu Fan opened the door and walked in, saying: "Director, you haven't finished work yet? It's time to eat too. The driver is still waiting downstairs."

  Yuan Garden smiled and said: "Yes, it's time to get off work and have dinner, have you eaten?"

  Xu Fan shook his head and said: "I've just finished being busy, I also want to get off work"

  Yuan Garden's eyes rolled around and smiled: "Oh, like this, how about giving you a chance to invite me to dinner? Hehe"

  Xu Fan's head suddenly felt a thrill of excitement, and he quickly nodded his head saying: "Great, being able to have dinner with the beautiful Director is truly an honor"

  Yuan Garden glared at Xu Fan with a cold eye: "Shut up, let's go".

  Xu Fan hastily asked: "What does the director want to eat?"

  Yuan Garden thought for a moment and said "Let's go to Xiaodao Island to have Western food"

  Downstairs, the director's dedicated car was waiting below. Xu Fan closed the door for the director and then sat in the passenger seat, telling driver Xiao Wang: "Go to Xia Dao Coffee".

  The car started and sped straight down to the island.

  When they got off at the lower island, Yuan Garden said to the driver: "Xiao Wang, you can go back first, no need to wait for us." Xiao Wang responded and drove away.

  The island coffee shop has dim lighting, with a warm and romantic atmosphere in sepia tones.

  A pot of Blue Mountain coffee with a rich aroma.

  Yuan tasted the coffee and then flipped through the menu, asking Xu Fan: "What do you want to eat?"

  "Hmm, let's have steak, it's been a long time since I've had one, hehe" Xu Fan rubbed his nose.

  Yuan Garden's face was filled with disdain: "Is that so? Then shouldn't you be thanking me profusely?"

  "Of course, Director, you're my lucky star! Look, as soon as you arrived, I got to eat steak, hehe!" This guy isn't even a bit intimidated in front of the director, and is shamelessly flattering him.

  "Hmph, you chatterbox, can't you speak seriously for once?" Yuan Garden scolded with a straight face, but was secretly delighted in her heart.

  Xu Fan called out in a low voice: "Be serious? Director, we're all young people. When working, we must be serious; but when eating, we must relax, so that we can eat happily, right? Being too serious while eating is suffocating and tiring, and it also affects the appetite, doesn't it? Look at you, pretending to be stern-faced while eating, how hard it is! Relax, relax!"

  Yuan Garden now wants to chop down on this rascal's head with a sharp dinner knife!

  Xu Fan called the waiter to order food and also asked for a bottle of red wine. Before long, the dishes were all served, Xu Fan picked up his glass and said to Yuan Garden: "Director, I wish your official career will rise step by step, and you will become more and more beautiful." Yuan Garden giggled and said: "Your toast is very sincere, thank you!" After that, she clinked her glass with Xu Fan's.
