Chapter 1891 - 1909: Upheaval in the Meeting (Part 4)
The person sitting next to Xi Liqun couldn’t help but mock, "Old Xi, you just love worrying too much. It’s just a little collision, and you’re already making a fuss." After speaking, he glanced sideways at Huo Beijiang, the implication blatantly obvious.
Xi Liqun didn’t believe a word of it. A car accident that could make Elder Song change his expression was definitely not a small matter. He looked at Huo Beijiang with questioning eyes, and Huo Beijiang had no choice but to say, "I’m fine, but three people on the other side died on the spot."
"..."
At this moment, the meeting room was extraordinarily quiet.
Huo Beijiang had a faint smile on his lips as he sat down beside Elder Song, while Ning Di, who had come along, was already waiting outside the door. After receiving a reminder from the confidential secretary, he brought in the materials he had prepared in advance.
Upon seeing the materials being carried in, Lei Hao knew that Huo Beijiang was finally getting down to business, and he quickly stood up to help Ning Di distribute them. As he did, he glanced at them, and the data and photos above made his heart pound.
Although he had also participated in this mission and was mainly responsible for many specific events, he was not involved in matters related to the royal family, which means he did not know the core secrets. However, just the tasks he participated in were enough for him to boast about for a lifetime.
And these core secrets... he could boast about them for a lifetime and still not be done!
Lei Hao was previously quite unconvinced by Huo Beijiang. They were both captains of the special operations team, so why did his promotion come so fast, and why did the leaders like him? But after returning from this mission, he was completely convinced. Now, looking at the materials, he felt ashamed of his previous short-sightedness.
Now he finally understood that others were arrogant for a reason. Ability, courage, bravery, a calm mind, and the determination to make tough decisions in dire situations—all these basic qualities need not only to be possessed but to be taken to the extreme.
After Ning Di finished distributing the materials, he immediately stood up straight and gave a military salute before turning and leaving.
Meetings of this level were beyond his qualifications to attend; of course, he wouldn’t want to attend even if he could. Surely, it would be lively inside!
Ning Di wasn’t wrong. After he left, he waited outside with the confidential secretary and other guards brought by the chiefs. The corridor was spacious, and aside from the secretary’s office on both sides, waiting rooms and restrooms were also thoughtfully arranged.
At this time, there were already more than a dozen people waiting inside the waiting room, some familiar and some not. Ning Di recalled the orders from his boss on the way here and didn’t greet anyone, simply finding a spot to sit down by himself.
After sitting down, someone from logistics poured him a cup of water and placed it in front of him. Before he could finish the water, there was a sudden loud sound of a heavy hand slapping a table coming from the direction of the meeting room. The others waiting were startled, and all heightened their attention.
After that slapping sound, it was as if a switch was flipped, and the sounds of arguing, rolling up sleeves, shouting, and threatening, along with table-slapping and ashtray-smashing, intertwined for over half an hour with no signs of abating, becoming increasingly intense instead.
Anyone unaware would never guess that it was the military’s highest level meeting inside.
The people in the waiting room were dumbfounded. They had attended many meetings with their leaders but had never seen anything like this.
Ning Di maintained a calm expression throughout, looking as if he was used to it. Most of the time, meetings attended by his boss were never smooth sailing.
