This world is terrible

4:53 am_
tick tock...

In the lounge, time flows quietly with the ticking of the brass clock in the corner.

The "lover" woke up from his doze, got up and walked to the window, looking at the night view of the city under the heavy rain, and said to himself: "It's been two hours."

"Where are the results of the investigation I want?"

Doorway.

The old housekeeper bowed slightly and repeated: "Because the population involved is large and it is a special period, the investigation work has encountered some obstacles. Wang Peng asks the master to wait a little longer..."

"He said the same thing an hour ago."

"I didn't expect that he would still give the same answer an hour later."

"Ha ha……"

Turning away from the window, the "lover" still looked gentle and refined, but a flash of lightning suddenly appeared outside, illuminating his cold eyes beneath the gold-wire glasses frame. The resentment in them was so strong that it seemed tangible and almost overflowed.

Gao Yiyi is a person of great importance to him and there cannot be any mistake.

——Boom!

"What about the list of all the personnel? Where is it?"

Uncle Tang said respectfully: "He meant the same thing. Because a large number of people are involved and it takes up a lot of resources, I don't have the spare energy to provide relevant materials for the time being. Please forgive me."

Click! Click!

The solid wooden chair back made of fine teak made a series of cracking sounds under the "lover's" hands, unable to bear the weight.

"What the hell is this bastard doing?"

Powder fell from between his fingers, and the "lover" left the lounge and walked towards the command room not far away with great momentum. However, when he reached the door, the distinct shouting and cursing from inside had already exploded like a huge bell.

"A bunch of rubbish, what do you do for a living?!"

"I asked you to check on someone, but it's either windy or rainy. It's been hours, and there's no movement at all!"

"You are roasting me on the fire..."

“I just want results!”

The "lover" paused, and slowly stopped in front of the open door of the command room, looking coldly at the ugly appearance of Wang Peng with a red face and thick neck inside.

The latter seemed unaware of the situation outside the door and continued to roar to himself, his voice even drowning out the thunder outside.

If the "lover" had not lost his patience after listening to the scolding for a few minutes, and had simply come directly to Director Wang, the latter would probably have continued to scold him for several hours without stopping.

But after this battle.

The "lover's" original momentum to bring charges seems to have weakened a lot.

"Investigation work, but what difficulties did you encounter?"

He stepped forward, glanced around, and said calmly.

"what……"

Director Wang was delighted.

It would be a lie to say that he was not panicked when he learned that his "lover" was coming to question him. However, in order to escape unscathed from the hands of this capricious judge, he had to rack his brains to think of a countermeasure.

With one move,
Then decline,

Three and exhausted.

Now it seems that it does have some effect.

Next.

Just to express...

"Just some little things, just little things!"

Director Wang then hurriedly smiled and said: "It will be solved soon, just..."

"Give you a little more time, huh?"

Upon hearing this, Director Wang's heart skipped a beat.

at this time.

He realized belatedly how bad his words were when he was "carried away with pride" -

"Two hours, zero feedback. So that's your answer, right?"

"Wang Peng."

There was a dangerous light in the "lover's" eyes: "Are you deceiving me?"

"How……"

"Were you not prepared to heed my orders from the very beginning? You kept delaying, using all kinds of excuses to prevaricate me, deceiving me, and even just now, before I came, you were still acting." "Pretending to be doing your best, fearing that I would take your life and ruin your dream?"

"Is that so? My..."

"Old friend?"

The hot sweat turned cold in an instant.

Director Wang opened his mouth, but was unable to utter a word.

This series of questions seemed to strike directly into his heart, making it difficult for this senior official, who claimed to have some talent as an actor, to find a suitable answer.

until.

When the final verdict of "Lover" was pronounced, just like the executioner raising his butcher knife and announcing the charges, he seemed to have broken through some invisible barrier in his confusion, and suddenly burst into tears and fell to his knees!

"Master Yu——"

"I have never lied to you in the slightest!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"I conveyed the previous instructions truthfully and faithfully!"

“It’s just that the disaster is coming.”

“There’s a shortage of manpower.”

"The investigation is also difficult, and feedback on progress and other issues also takes time, but this is by no means proof of my shirking of responsibility, please understand!"

No longer concerned about his own identity or even his image in front of his subordinates, Director Wang fell to the ground and cried bitterly, as if he would not be able to get up from his knees until his "lover" withdrew her suspicions.

It seems that even if I die, it would be an injustice like the snow in June.

"..."

half an hour.

"Don't be such a loser."

The solidified air seemed to relax a little.

Looking at Director Wang who was trying to grab the ground with his head, the suspicion in the "lover's" eyes dissipated a little, and he said coldly: "You just stay here and perform your duties."

"As for those spots."

The "lover" glanced sideways and winked at Uncle Tang, who understood and took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and left early.

"I'll do it myself."

He turned around swiftly, ignoring the cadres around him who were silent as a mouse, and didn't even look at Director Wang who was lying on the ground like a toad, and walked straight out of the command room.

"Wang Peng, you better not lie to me, otherwise..."

The echo of the heels gradually faded away.

In the darkness, Director Wang kept his eyes open, but remained in the same position, motionless, until a trusted confidant came forward to support him, and then he stood up tremblingly.

"Director, you..."

With the idea of ​​covering up the shame for his leader, the man just blocked most of the sight, but he bumped into Director Wang's expressionless face first. But in just a moment, the latter turned into a heartbroken look, which almost made him think he was seeing things.

"Hey."

A sigh was heard, not loud but just enough to cover the entire command room.

Everyone looked at this boss who had lost all face, quietly waiting for his next words. Was it groundless anger or a sophistry to save his image?

"...Two hours."

Director Wang's dry eyes revealed a sense of helplessness, as if he had tried his best but failed to protect something important: "Run away, run far away, before that demon arrives."

"These two hours are the last thing I can fight for."

"Director, you..."

Everyone understood something in an instant, and they were all in disbelief.

At the same time, the confidant who was supporting Director Wang felt the friction of fingertips on the back of his hand.

A few seconds later, he raised his arms and shouted: "Colleagues!"

"The 'lover' was heartless, disregarding the disaster situation, treating people's lives as worthless, and committing treasonous acts. The director was forced to obey the threat and pretended to be compliant while delegating authority to keep the Century Train running."

"And now, the 'lover' has gone there in person. It's only a matter of time before the truth is revealed. By then, all of our lives will be in danger!"

"So here, I dare to advise the director and my colleagues to preserve the vitality of the East China Sea. Everyone should retreat for the time being and evacuate first. When we go to Beijing in the future, we must report the evil deeds of the 'lover' to the Eight Seas and ask for a judgment."

"What do you think?"

Behind him, Director Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, gripped the seat tightly with his five fingers, vaguely expecting an answer.
