Chapter 404: The New Minister (2/2)

”Please calm down!” The secretary was worried. They had built extraordinary relationships as their relationships were not only between secretary and minister but had also comprised family and love. She did not want anything to happen to him.

”Don't worry. Everything will be fine, as long as he is not bothering me.” He was grinning, bearing his white teeth, but his eyes remained cold.

He knew that the day would come. However, he was not eager for power. True strength and abilities were what he had been pursuing.

”Do you know his strength and abilities?” He mumbled, looking at the secretary as if she had something to remind him once more. He said with a smile, ”Don't worry, we'll unite as one. I've heard about this many times, and I believe he must have his abilities if he were to be appointed to undertake this position.”

”Where is he from?” He asked.

”He's from Hope City!”

”If I'm not mistaken, it's Lin Feiyan's territory, the woman with very strange abilities.” He said with hesitance.

”He is the deputy team leader,” said the secretary.

He was stunned and highly doubted this, as it did not make sense to him. Even if the rate of promotions had been faster in the Firearms Bureau as compared to other government departments, he had never been appointed as a team leader prior to this. Instead, he was directly elected as a vice minister. This did not make sense at all.

Something unbeknownst to him must have happened. ”What's happening in the Reconstruction Area?” He asked.

The secretary shook her head, as she did not know anything as well.

…

His curiosity was aroused. Having seldom come back to the office, he sat for a while and handled some unimportant documents. Suddenly, he stood up as if he sensed something. He drew the curtains and saw a car slowly entering the Firearms Bureau.

One of the deputy ministers of the Organization Department and a stranger who was donning black from top to toe had alighted the car.

At the same time, he raised his head as he had sensed something too.

Both of them exchanged glances and smiled at each other. They then shifted their gaze.

The deputy minister of the Organization Department glanced at Luo Yuan and said, ”He is also the vice minister of the Firearms Bureau. His name is Ling Zhong-an. There's something fascinating about him!”

”What's that about?” Luo Yuan answered.

”During the migration after the apocalypse, Minister Ling and his lover were separated in the crowd. When he found her, she was already married and they left each other with remorse.

His lover's husband worked as a government personnel, and during that time, he was already a vice minister. As soon as his lover's husband knew about this, he divorced his wife and sent her to the Firearms Bureau.

”Then what happened next? Are both of them married now?” Luo Yuan asked curiously. It would not be anything out of the ordinary if they were both married, so he believed that something else must have happened.

”No. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding between them, which caused them to bicker. They then parted in discord. However, Minister Ling did not give up and no one knew what he had done. Soon enough his lover is now his secretary!”

Luo Yuan looked at him as if he had understood something. He was surprised in the first place wondering why a deputy minister would tell him so much about another person’s private affairs. He now realized that the deputy minister was trying to remind him about something.

Obviously, he knew that he should not mention the vice minister's secretary in front of him.

As soon as Luo Yuan regained his senses, he felt that something was not right. Why did the deputy minister deliberately remind him as such?

Did they consider him a womanizer?
