Chapter 463 -463: Audience

An Zhiyuan and Bai Xiao were heroes designated to be received by higher leadership, so once their letter of introduction was presented, registration was swiftly handled.

Someone specifically escorted them to the Chief’s office.

This was not a place to barge into casually.

Otherwise, it was easy to be suspected of prying secrets.

Bai Xiao was somewhat uneasy and looked at An Zhiyuan—compared to him, she was leagues behind.

It’s true what they say, “comparing people will drive you nuts.”

This was a real-life example, and she was the rookie being compared unfavorably.

Being just an ordinary person, in her previous life, she was outstanding. But when it came to facing important figures, she rarely represented herself. Often, besides providing medical care, no one paid heed to her because Shang Kaiwen was the one who captivated the crowd.

Who needed her presence to attract the eyes? In everyone’s view, she was just an icy and aloof oddity, but who could understand the loneliness and craving in her heart?

Lack of experience was hardly her fault; it was intentional on other’s part.

An Zhiyuan looked back, his face taut. Bai Xiao was all seriousness, and seeing her fists clenched tightly revealed her nervousness. He softly reassured her, “Don’t be scared, they won’t eat you.”

Bai Xiao almost couldn’t help laughing out loud.

She rolled her eyes at An Zhiyuan, which immediately relaxed her quite a bit.

Feeling sweet inside, their Mr. An, always so forbiddingly cool to outsiders, was unsurpassable in thoughtfulness and care.

“Report, Chief, Comrades An Zhiyuan and Bai Xiao reporting!”

A duty officer had already knocked on the door to notify of their arrival.

“Let them in!”

A voice aged.

An Zhiyuan gave Bai Xiao a reassuring look, and the two stepped in.

“Chief, An Zhiyuan reporting to you.”

“Chief, Bai Xiao reporting to you.”

An old chief in a sharply cut deep green uniform, the insignia on his shoulder indicating his rank, and his salt-and-pepper hair framing a face often seen in news broadcasts, sat behind the desk! He nodded repeatedly and gestured for them to approach upon seeing them.

“You’ve arrived, come here, have a seat, don’t be restrained, I don’t bite.” His smiling demeanor made it hard to associate him with the imposing Chief.

To say they weren’t nervous would be a lie; the Chief appeared even more imposing in person than on television, with a tall and upright stance, stern face, and piercing eyes. Bai Xiao could distinctly feel the Chief’s commanding presence.

Neither of them moved.

“Sit, this is an order!” His tone shifted, immediately becoming stern.

Only then did they sit down.

They sat with knees together and back straight, eyes looking straight ahead.

Bai Xiao felt she was suffering; she had never undergone formal training, mirroring exactly what the dashing Mr. An beside her did.

But sitting so stiffly upright was truly torturous, and she wondered how An Zhiyuan managed it.

“I’ve heard of the deeds you two performed. Excellent, really excellent! Meeting the two of you now, truly a match of equally remarkable talents. You lived up to the reputation pitched for the heroes’ wedding, the glory stained with valor!” Fortunately, his tone had softened since the beginning.

“Chief, we only did what we were supposed to do.” Bai Xiao realized immediately that she had misspoken.

The response was incorrect.

“Oh, Doctor Bai, An Zhiyuan did what he was supposed to do, unflinching in the face of death. I am curious, why did you think that facing death together was also what you were supposed to do? Weren’t you scared of dying?” The Chief now sounded like a kind old neighbor.

Bai Xiao was virtually unguarded.
