"You can rest in my private lounge for a bit," the governor said hurriedly. "I'll come find you when I'm finished."
"Please, go ahead," Li Wei said, giving the governor a deep look before pulling open the door to the lounge and stepping inside.
The governor left with the photographer.
The soundproof door clicked shut. Li Wei surveyed the lounge, its decor identical to the one upstairs.
With nothing better to do, he was about to head to the bar for a glass of water when he suddenly heard faint breathing in the room.
He turned his head. In a blind spot in the corner of the lounge, someone was sitting on the innermost leather sofa.
She was dressed in a cashmere suit with a silk blouse, holding a cup of black tea as she flipped through a thick report.
She was a middle-aged woman who looked sharp and capable.
Hearing Li Wei's footsteps, the woman looked up and removed the gold-rimmed glasses from her nose.
