Chapter 1093 (2/2)

”Nonsense!” Qiao Xuemei stared, ”you are the director of the security department. According to the current regulations, your duty is to protect the security objects, security objectives and major activities. Who allows you to go out and perform your tasks?”

”This...” Hu Qi was slightly stunned and looked out the door again. He saw that Xie Hongbo didn't know when he was standing at the door and was staring at himself without blinking.

The Adam's apple rolled for a while, and Hu Qi said with some difficulty: ”I was ordered by the director general to help Xie Chu go out to perform his task.”

Qiao Xue asked again, ”where's the command letter? Give me the command letter!”

”Oral order, no letter.” Xie Hongbo stood at the door and said low, ”I can testify that director Zhou gave an order last night and ordered Hu to act with me.”

Qiao Xue turned her head and narrowed her eyes slightly: ”since I ordered you to perform the task, why use the people from the security office? Your inspection and action office is the largest department of the port supervision office. When did it become so poor?”

”Director Zhou ordered me to deal with the Nanli bridge accident, salvage the body and find out the truth. Because the matter was urgent and I didn't issue an emergency assembly order in advance, I needed the assistance of the security office,” Xie Hongbo said in a deep voice, ”Do you understand now? Please put Hu Chu away. This is the harbor inspector's office, not the place where you are abusive. Now is an extraordinary time. Please set a qualified example for your subordinates.”

”Can you convince yourself of your explanation?”

Xie Hongbo's face was ancient well without wave: ”believe it or not, this is a fact. Everyone at the security office can testify that Hu Chu went to Nanli coastal bridge with me last night and didn't return until 2 a.m.”

Qiao Xue reluctantly loosened Hu Qi's collar: ”I want to investigate the surveillance video last night and let the surveillance station stand by.”

Hu Qi adjusted his collar: ”er... I'm afraid not...”

”I'm the director of the investigation department. Why not?”

”Joe, you first put out the fire. This... The monitoring equipment was caused by a sudden power failure last night...”

”What!” Qiao Xueyu put his hand against Hu Qi's chest and slammed him on the door, ”where's the standby power supply?”

”Er, it was the failure of the standby power supply that led to a large area of power failure...” Hu Qi said dully, but his cheeks couldn't help blushing. He felt uneasy and embarrassed from the bottom of his heart to say this unreasonable excuse.

Qiao Xuejiao's body trembled fiercely. She turned her head and stared at a large number of onlookers gathered at the door. A touch of panic flashed through her eyes. She stared at the familiar faces in front of her, but deeply felt that they were so strange and cold-blooded. She felt like a flickering candle, with boundless darkness in front of and around.

The jade hand trembled slightly, and Qiao Xue stared at Xie Hongbo with pale cheeks: ”do you dare to say it has nothing to do with you?”

Xie Hongbo said, ”I know that director Zhou is inexperienced in dealing with port problems, but I didn't give reasonable suggestions at the critical moment. Because of my carelessness, director Zhou suffered misfortune, which is my dereliction of duty.”

With these words, Xie Hongbo looked up at Qiao Xue: ”if you have to be so satisfied, even if I have a fault, I am willing to ask my superior for punishment.”

”Ha ha, ha ha.” Qiao Xue sneered, pulled Hu Qi aside, and then walked out.

”Where are you going?” Xie Hongbo asked behind Qiao Xue.

Qiao Xue walked forward without saying a word. Other people on both sides of the corridor let him go to both sides. There was a silence, numbness and embarrassment shrouded in everyone's heart.

The jade hand clenched tightly, and the joints of bones were faintly white. Qiao Xue was unwilling to stay more. She was worried that she would lose control of herself and break Xie Hongbo's neck in the next moment. She walked out of the office building in a daze, and Qiao Xue started her car to leave the inspector's office.

When driving to the door, the guard stretched his head out of the gate post: ”Joe, it's a period of martial law. Without special orders, the internal personnel of the inspection hall can only enter and can't go out.”

Qiao Xue pulled down the window and asked coldly, ”who gave the order?”

”Well, thanks...”

Before the guard's voice fell, Qiao Xue had bitten her silver teeth and went straight to the parking bar.

”Zhou Wenhao has no soldiers or generals. Now you are the only one willing to work for him. What can a person do? I didn't understand it earlier, but I finally woke up. You can't do anything alone.”

Qiao Xue looked straight ahead of the road, but her mind echoed Li Qing's words this morning. Li Qing reminded her more than once that things near Hong Kong are not so simple. Zhou Wenhao is smart on the surface, but stupid and stubborn in the bone. If she acts too eager for quick success and instant benefit, she will suffer evil consequences.

She only thought these words were Li Qing's self righteous, but now she knows they are golden words. From beginning to end, the participants in this farce are only herself and Zhou Wenhao.

A person, she is really just a person now and can't do anything.

Qiao Xue breathed a sigh of relief and was filled with despair for a moment.
