Special Forces Medic-Chapter 757 - 724 Act Immediately

Entering the urban planning office for the first time, it exuded the same rigidity as Shen Yixing. Every cabinet and document was meticulously arranged, labeled, with a small booklet hanging on each cabinet recording the contents of each layer. The blueprints and documents were organized by project. Although there wasn't much investment in the northern district, looking at the contents of these cabinets, the number of projects was surprisingly numerous.

Hua Qingyi casually opened one of the notebooks and found the time records to be quite detailed. Despite being called a department, it was not very bustling, with only a few staff: some were designing blueprints on computers, some modifying documents on computers, and others with nothing to do.

To him, an outsider, there was vigilance but no defensiveness. He could browse through the materials openly without anyone stopping him. It wasn't that the urban planning department had many secrets or was confidential, but at the very least, there should be some wariness towards outsiders!

Xiao Lin would always follow behind Hua Qingyi. Most of the time, he followed him, but there were idle times too, like now. He was more eager to see Yao Zheng than Hua Qingyi because he was looking forward to a dramatic change on a certain face. This wait wasn't long, but when the door opened, Xiao Lin regretted to see Yao Zheng's face filled with a fake smile instead.

"Hua Office, how do you have time to visit today?" Yao Zheng's alcohol from lunch hadn't fully evaporated, and it wafted out as he spoke.

"Has Director Yao finished the luncheon?" Hua Qingyi shook hands with Yao Zheng, signaling friendliness.

"Ah, the municipal committee sent investors to redevelop the North Palace. I was just about to conduct an on-site inspection together when you all arrived."

"I heard from Minister Shen and also wanted to meet these investors. You wouldn't mind, would you?" Hua Qingyi glanced at Xiao Lin, who remained as silent as the woman beside Xia Xue.

"Why would I mind? Let me introduce you to our beautiful President Xia." As Yao Zheng spoke, he placed his hand on Xia Xue's shoulder, only for her to evade it with a smile.

"Hello!" Xia Xue extended her hand to Hua Qingyi, while Xiao Lin watched playfully. It was a typical greeting between strangers, showing how much his little woman had matured. Lian noticed Xiao Lin; where Hua Qingyi was, Xiao Lin's presence was also expected. She retained her cold demeanor, ignoring Hua Qingyi's outstretched hand, while Dan Qing beside Lian seemed a bit out of place, imitating Lian's actions.

Hua Qingyi withdrew his hand, awkwardly smiling. "Hello! I heard you're going to the North Palace?"

"Yes, we're preparing to see if there's potential for redevelopment."

"Oh, did I come at a bad time?" Hua Qingyi exclaimed deliberately, looking innocently at Yao Zheng, while Xia Xue smiled softly, her eyes naturally catching Xiao Lin's presence.

"If Hua Office has nothing urgent, you could wait for my return."

"No problem. If you have more to discuss, I can come later, or perhaps Minister Shen can accompany me for an on-site inspection nearby."

"No worries, you carry on. I planned to visit Hengfei Mansion; it was just along the way. I wanted to discuss some detailed issues with District Chief Yao, and I'm very grateful for the valuable materials you sent, which saved us a lot of detours."

"You're welcome. I'm glad I could help."

"Then I won't disturb you further!" Hua Qingyi's phone rang, and he glanced at the number before picking up. "Yes, move immediately!"

After hanging up, his expression became stern. "We'll head off first." Without further explanation, he stepped out quickly, with Xiao Lin following closely. As they passed by Xiaoxue, the young man inadvertently grazed her lips. Adjusting his collar was a gesture unnoticed by others, but Xia Xue knew she'd been teased, blushing slightly.

"Xia Xue, are you alright?" Yao Zheng, attentive to Xia Xue, bent down in concern at her sudden blush.

"Oh, it's nothing. Perhaps I drank a bit too much before, and now the wind has made me a little dizzy." Xia Xue stepped back, leaning against Dan Qing, who naturally accommodated her, forming a protective circle.

"If you're not feeling well, you can rest in my lounge for a bit. I'm worried you won't handle it if we continue." Whether Yao Zheng's concern was genuine, only he knew. Lian stepped beside Xia Xue, asking if she wished to proceed, playing the assistant role quite duly. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Do you need a break?" The luncheon earlier was mainly Xia Xue drinking. Even with the Profound Lady Heart Scripture as protection, she couldn't overdo it.

"It's fine, work is important." Xia Xue, rubbing her head, waved as she moved towards the door.

"I think we should postpone it!" Yao Zheng also felt that now wasn't the time, seeing Xia Xue's unsteady walk.

"My schedule here isn't extensive; if delayed, I might have to wait for the next opportunity." Reluctantly, Xia Xue leaned against Dan Qing. "Let's go; I can rest a bit in the car."

Xia Xue's persistence inexplicably pained Yao Zheng, feeling a sense of affection. "If you're not feeling well, please don't force it."

"Alright!"

Quite a few families were implicated by the North Palace renovations, not terribly so, but normal operations were challenging. So when Yao Zheng and Xia Xue arrived at the North Palace, some had already received news and blocked their way, seeking an explanation. Such scenes were unexpected. Astonished, Xia Xue sat in the car, while Yao Zheng was surrounded by citizens as soon as he got out, explaining endlessly. Smiling serenely, Xia Xue had the car drive a bit further ahead, parking in front of Yao Zheng's vehicle.

"It's best if you don't get out in this situation." Acting as the driver, Consort Ling frowned; he saw Xiao Lin before Xia Xue did, and his gaze was indeed sharp. Even seated in the car, he felt a chill. If she got out now, he'd be skinned alive.

"It's fine, Lian and the others are there; you wait in the car."

"No way!" Consort Ling locked the car door before her opening action. "Young Master Xiao has sternly warned against any recklessness here."

"When did this happen?" Xia Xue widened her eyes, puzzled, blinking her beautiful eyes, only to realize the situation a moment later. "You've already contacted him privately, haven't you?"
