”Hey, you can’t just leave like this. I heard you’re planning to get married in the spring. Such a big event requires at least three drinks!” Fang Xinlan, under the influence of alcohol, was still excited and unwilling to let them go.
An Zhang smiled and blocked the drink she was offering, “Ms. Fang, you’re all drunk. Aren’t you afraid of being caught by bloodthirsty media? That might bring you a lot of trouble. Tomorrow’s headline might read—’Police High-Ranking Officials Lead Drinking Revelry Under the Guise of Celebration, Displaying Drunken Behavior.'”
Fang Xinlan’s face twitched, shocked by his words, blinking her alcohol-reddened eyes and shaking her head.
”Surely not. This is a private venue, and today’s a holiday. Unless someone tips them off, they couldn’t possibly discover us.”
To calm everyone’s minds, the dissidents’ plan to launch a bomb attack during the election was kept strictly confidential. They didn’t dare leak a word to the media. Even after breaking such a big case, they had quietly borrowed this discreet location for a celebration party. It was unlikely the media would find out.
But thinking about the Taiwanese media’s ability to dig up dirt, a chill ran down her spine. She couldn’t be sure they could truly block the media.
”Is that so? From the information I’ve received, several media outlets are already paying attention to this police operation and preparing to investigate further. Ms. Fang, if you don’t believe me, you can continue drinking and having fun. But Shi Xuan and I must leave first.”
After saying this with a smile, he indeed saw Fang Xinlan’s expression change, and he calmly led Shi Xuan away.
Sitting in the car, Shi Xuan asked in surprise, “Zhang, was what you said true? Are the media paying attention?”
An Zhang winked at her and said, “If I hadn’t said that, they might have truly planned to drink until they were completely drunk today.”
He didn’t care how others wanted to have fun, but they shouldn’t bother him and waste his time. Especially since Fang Xinlan had brazenly demanded five years of free intelligence from him last time. This was just a small lesson for her. He wasn’t someone who could be easily threatened.
