These are all uncertain factors. Even though Lu Zhao knew that for Duan Yue's personal safety, she should hand her over to the higher-ups, she couldn't stay calm when she thought about these uncontrollable factors.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing," Messiah quickly intervened to smooth things over. "No matter what, we all want what's best for Xiaoyue, don't we?"
"If it's for her own good, we should listen to her opinion instead of making decisions on our own!" Lu Zhao angrily slammed his fist on the desk again.
With a loud "bang," the three people simultaneously stood up to avoid the table, which was then split in two.
Messiah swallowed hard, glancing cautiously at Lu Zhao's gloomy face, and quickly tried to appease her: "Captain, don't be angry. There must be a way to solve this. Please don't be angry."
Lu Zhao took a deep breath, relaxed his mind, and controlled the white flames that had accidentally reappeared back into his body. He turned around and rubbed his temples. "Sorry, I got a little emotional just now."
"It's alright, it's just a table, we can just get a new one." Messiah coaxed her like she was a child.
“But Captain, now that the documents have been submitted to Chi Ying’s level, the higher-ups should have noticed it as well,” Song Lingge stepped forward and solemnly reminded her, “What we’re discussing here now is actually useless. The key is how we should persuade those people in the General Strategy Office to abandon their ideas and come up with a better solution.”
Although he was angry, Lu Zhao had to admit that Song Lingge's calmness, though sometimes seeming a bit cold, always managed to pull him back from his emotional outbursts.
Presumably, the original owner developed feelings for this person because of this complementary relationship.
She silently suppressed her temper and turned to look at her: "Okay, then tell me what we should do now?"
"Just like you said, Xiaoyue is indeed very special, so we must take her wishes into account, otherwise, there might be big trouble."
As Song Lingge spoke, she looked at Messiah and said, "Such a detailed report couldn't have been done by you and Xiao Fei. Who in the bureau did you hand Xiaoyue over to?"
Did other people get involved?
Lu Zhao was taken aback, and almost flew into a rage again. Looking at Messiah's pitiful appearance, he hesitated for a long time before finally holding back his curses, "Just say it, I won't curse you!"
"It's Li Manqiu from Team Two!" Messiah wiped away her tears, feeling wronged. "She came to see Xiaoyue before, and then she found the hospital report, so she went to find Sister Xiaofei. This... there's nothing I can do about it!"
Okay, she won't get angry, she absolutely can't get angry.
Lu Zhao took several deep breaths, but the anger in his heart just wouldn't subside.
"Alright, Captain, it's no use scolding her now," Song Lingge gently patted her back, soothing her softly while turning to ask Messiah, "Besides Captain Li, is there anyone else who knows?"
Messiah hesitated for a moment, "There's a guy named Xin Xia in the second team. He helped out when the captain came to see Xiao Yue before, but Li Manqiu didn't tell him about Xiao Yue. She just said that the child had some problems and needed to be taken back for a checkup."
No wonder... no wonder Li Manqiu expressed her dissatisfaction with Xiaoyue when she came to take care of her that day.
It turned out that it wasn't that she was petty and couldn't stand her adopting a child, but rather that Xiaoyue's identity was far too troublesome, and if she insisted on raising her, it would only cause her more trouble.
Lu Zhao suddenly understood, and even felt a little sorry for Captain Li, who had a cold exterior but a very warm heart. At the time, he did not understand what she meant and even told her not to come again the next day.
However, considering that the other party also kept it from her, let's consider it a draw.
“Okay,” she nodded immediately. “I’ll go find Li Manqiu. You guys… go and get another table.”
Chapter 72 The Caution of a Single Captain
Finding him isn't so easy. The most basic point is that Captain Li is much busier than Captain Lu, who slacks off all day and doesn't know what to do.
Lu Zhao had been wandering around the Spirit Management Bureau for a long time, but he hadn't seen any of the people from Team Two.
I went to the monitoring department and asked a junior employee, only to find out that the entire second team was out on missions in batches today.
Then I think about how this whole team of them just lazes around all day...
Lu Zhao felt a little ashamed. If she were from the General Strategy Office, she would definitely want to cancel such a lazy team.
But she wasn't.
As the captain of the team, she had to do everything she could to protect the team, not only for the team and the original owner of the body, but also to ensure that the game could proceed smoothly.
But speaking of which, Lu Zhao probably didn't have a little girl at home when the game started, right?
If she forcibly tries to keep Duan Yue, wouldn't that also be considered disrupting the initial game data?
"Captain Lu, Captain Lu?"
Awakened by the person next to her, she couldn't help but touch her nose and look at the bespectacled girl from the monitoring department whom she had seen several times before.
"Excuse me..." Lu Zhao glanced at the work badge on the other person's chest and readily read out the name of this girl who seemed to have a connection with her, "Zhou Yuhan, right? Can you tell me the location where Captain Li and the others are carrying out their mission?"
Xiao Zhou looked at her in confusion: "Captain Lu, what are you going to do?"
"I just need to talk to her about something."
Lu Zhao smiled at her, which immediately made Xiao Zhou blush. She quickly picked up her phone and sent her her location, "Captain Lu, have a safe trip!"
"Ah... okay!" Although she didn't quite understand why the girl blushed so easily, she didn't care about that now. She turned on her phone, locked her location, and headed straight for the elevator, pressing the button for the 33rd basement level.
Only after watching the elevator doors close in front of her did Zhou Yuhan turn around, her face flushed. Before she could take two steps, she bumped into Chi Ying, who had been standing behind her at some point.
"Minister, Minister..." Xiao Zhou was so frightened that he couldn't help but take a step back.
Chi Ying looked her up and down, puzzled. "What are you doing standing at the door?"
"Nothing! I just came back from the archives!" she denied repeatedly.
Although she sensed something was off about her subordinate, Chi Ying wasn't one to pry. She even went closer, touched her forehead, and asked with a frown, "Have you caught a cold? Have you finished eating?"
Xiao Zhou: "I've already eaten! Thank you for your concern, Minister!"
Before she could finish speaking, she vanished in a flash, leaving Chi Ying standing there alone, staring at her retreating figure with a strange expression.
Are all these new employees so loud and boisterous?
We need to gather everyone together for a proper training session another day. If we continue to be so careless, we'll cause trouble in case of emergencies.
……
No. 73 Fangfei Road.
Following the directions given by Xiao Zhou, Lu Zhao arrived at this location by chariot. He looked around at the calm and peaceful surroundings with some confusion, wondering if the location had been given incorrectly.
However, she is no longer the clueless person she was when she first transmigrated. During her hospitalization, she also studied some classic cases handled by the Bureau of Spirits and Spirits over the years, and thus gained a good understanding of many mission types.
For example, right now, even though there's no one around, she can still sense several psychic auras mixed in from not far away, even though she's sitting in the chariot.
So even if she couldn't see anyone, she could basically determine that the second team's mission this time was to lie in wait.
As for what they were staking out, she had no idea.
In order not to reveal her identity and to avoid causing trouble for the second team's mission, she did not get out of the car. She carefully drove the invisible vehicle to the side of the road and waited.
She waited from noon until the sun was about to set. Even with Lu Zhao's good patience, she was starting to get a little impatient. Just as she was about to get out of the car to find out what was going on, she saw a young man wearing a baseball cap walking out of an internet cafe not far away.
Holding a half-empty bottle of beer in one hand and smoking a cigarette in the other, with headphones around her neck, she looked incredibly uncomfortable compared to the others who had been waiting there all afternoon.
Is this person a member of the Elven race?
Just as she was wondering why she couldn't sense any psychic energy fluctuations from the other person, she saw three or four people who had been lying in ambush near the internet cafe rush up and pin the person to the ground.
Good grief, they're already arresting people? Are they mistaken?
Lu Zhao quickly got out of the car and ran over in a few steps, just in time to see Li Manqiu standing in front of several team members talking to them.
"Captain Li!" she called out to him quickly.
Li Manqiu turned around, and a hint of surprise flashed across her originally serious and calm expression the moment she saw her. "Captain Lu, what are you doing here?"
"Uh..." Lu Zhao was too embarrassed to admit that he had been waiting for four or five hours, so he just laughed it off and brushed it off. "I just happened to be passing by. What, are you on a mission?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard the second team members behind her excitedly shout, "Captain! This is the guy!"
"Okay, take him back first, and we'll discuss it further after the monitoring department has reviewed him."
As she spoke, Li Manqiu nodded apologetically to her: "I'm sorry, Captain Lu, I have something to attend to. If you don't have anything else, then I'll..."
"Hey! I have something to do!" Lu Zhao quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her aside, then realized his rudeness and quickly let go, asking awkwardly, "Um...did you know that Xiao Fei is injured?"
"About Miss Xia?" Li Manqiu instantly understood her meaning, glanced back at the team members who were still escorting the prisoners, and thought for a moment before saying, "I'm on a mission right now, so it's not convenient to talk about things here. Let's talk about personal matters after I finish my mission. How about we schedule a time tonight to discuss it in detail?"
As she spoke, she took the pen from her breast pocket, wrote a location on Lu Zhao's palm, and hurriedly ran over to meet up with her teammates.
Although she was unhappy with the result after waiting for so long, she could only silently complain and swallow her anger, considering that others were not as free as she was.
It says on this...
Lu Zhao frowned slightly as he strained to turn his palm over to decipher the neat handwriting.
Li Manqiu actually invited her to a bar?
Is this reasonable?
With a pained expression, Lu Zhao memorized the location. She smacked her lips. As an upright young woman who neither smoked nor drank, in that world, she was someone who could get drunk from just one beer.
I just don't know how much alcohol this body can handle.
Hmm... Although it's a bit embarrassing, just to be on the safe side, I'll order a glass of water when I go to the pub.
Chapter Seventy-Three They had a falling out
Central Hospital.
Xia Zhifei had taken her medicine and was about to lie down for a nap when she heard the caregiver's voice from outside the door: "Miss Lu, you're here!"
She was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly tried to sit up from the bed, but Lu Zhao, who pushed the door open, rushed over and helped her lie back down: "Slow down, your injuries haven't healed yet."
“Ah Zhao…” she stammered, her once bright eyes now filled with disbelief.
"You thought I wouldn't come to see you because I was angry with you?" Lu Zhao sighed softly, found a stool to sit on the edge of the bed, and casually picked up the medical record from the cabinet and flipped through it for a while. "How have you been feeling these past two days?"
Xia Zhifei turned her head away shyly, "It's okay, the wound is healing quickly. The caregiver took good care of me, and Lin Yu and Messiah also came by."
It's Lin Yu again.
Lu Zhao clicked his tongue in displeasure and put the medical record back in its place. "Next time you encounter this situation, you must prioritize your own safety, understand?"
"Oh," the young lady replied listlessly.
That expression... anyone who didn't know better would think she'd done something wrong.
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. When she was hospitalized, Xia Zhifei came to take care of her every day, but now? The young lady has been hospitalized for two days, and he has only come to see her twice.
Well, in the end, we're all going to live under the same roof.
Lu Zhao sighed inwardly and reached out to tuck the blanket around her. "I've been a bit busy these past few days. I'll come and take care of you once this period is over."
"No!" Xia Zhifei turned around, her deer-like eyes wide open, her fingers still hooking around Lu Zhao's hand. "Zhao, I know you're angry about Xiaoyue. It was my fault for not telling you. I apologize to you, okay?"
Has it finally been revealed?
