Hu Lei rushed out of the office and followed the route through which she had been brought through earlier in the day. As she walked, she felt anxious about seeing Zhong Feng. She did not know why she felt so much anticipation.
A small thought arose: what if he did not come?
However, she brushed it off.
Even if he did not come on the ship, she would rush home to him.
Just as she was about to go to the upper deck, she was faced by a group of military men with firearms in hand. The muzzles faced her in unison, causing her to stop.
When she would have explained her identity, one of the men motioned for the soldiers to lower their guns. He lifted the face shield of his gear.
"Jiang Ting!" Hu Lei recognised him right away.
She had not met him numerous times, but she would not forget Beatrice's brother. He indicated for her to follow him while the soldiers went the way she had come in.
"Is there anyone else down there?" He asked.
