"Ding-ling-ling..."
Shortly after, as Zhao Meng turned back to his seat, the telephone on his desk rang.
Zhao Meng had a hunch, glanced at the caller ID, and found, just as he had suspected, that the call was from Guan Yi—before Guan Yi had stepped down as the top official of Dong hai, Zhao Meng had contacted him frequently enough to memorize his mobile number.
"Hello, Director Zhao, I'm Guan Yi."
Upon answering, Guan Yi's voice came through the receiver, sounding angry, with a hint of worry beneath the indignation.
"Hello, Secretary Guan," Zhao Meng responded calmly, referring to Guan Yi by his former official position.
"Director Zhao, here's the thing—I just received a call and learned about the incident involving my daughter Guan Lin at the airport. You must have received a report about it by now, right?" Guan Yi asked.
"Yes, Secretary Guan, I've just received a report from my subordinates and have been informed about the incident," Zhao Meng truthfully said.
