Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

Chapter 727 - 727 727 New Task

727: Chapter 727: New Task 727: Chapter 727: New Task After returning from the Triangle Sea Area, Su Hui didn’t even rest.

She rushed back to her unit to report in, but ended up being scolded by her boss.

This was due to her prolonged absence, which was way more than the vacation time she had requested.

They wondered if she didn’t plan to come back to work at all.

Su Hui apologized again and again, promising to work doubly hard in the future and ensure that something like this wouldn’t happen again.

After scolding Su Hui, her boss didn’t blame her too harshly and surprisingly let her off the hook.

Initially, she had expected to be punished, not knowing she would just get a symbolic chiding.

Back in her office, Su Hui felt like she was in a dream.

But when a colleague placed a huge stack of files on her desk, she finally woke up to the reality that it wasn’t a dream.

Looking at a mountain of files, Su Hui felt like crying.

Then, she threw herself into her work, hoping that her performance could offset her boss’s negative impression of her.

From day to night, Su Hui was so busy that she barely had time for a sip of water or a quick restroom break.

Watching her coworkers leaving one by one, she looked at her endless tasks and a ton of case files that needed to be reviewed and double-checked.

It was truly a headache.

In the end, the office was nearly deserted, and Su Hui was thoroughly exhausted.

She could only rest for a little while, rubbing her eyes and trying to relax.

Just then, Su Hui heard footstep.

She wondered, who could it be at this hour?

When she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar face.

It was Liu Hui, an old classmate she hadn’t seen for a while.

Su Hui felt both surprised and uncomfortable.

Someone she hadn’t seen for years suddenly showing up couldn’t be a good sign.

Upon seeing her, Liu Hui simply smiled: “Long time no see, Su Hui.

You’re still as beautiful as ever, a true police flower no matter where you go.”

Su Hui responded with a polite smile: “Thanks, old classmate.

I didn’t expect to see you in my lifetime.”

Listening to this, Liu Hui felt awkward.

“What do you mean by that?

We are old classmates meeting after a long time.

Don’t make it seem like you don’t want to see me.”

Forcing a smile, Su Hui replied: “Honestly, I really don’t want to see you.

Every time I deal with you, bad luck seems to follow.”

“Really?” Liu Hui looked puzzled, and Su Hui immediately provided an example: “Remember when you wanted to pursue a girl from my dormitory, you asked for my help to set up a date.

Not only did you not succeed, but you also ended up pursuing another girl from my dorm, which created tension and made me nearly ostracized.”

Liu Hui quickly pleaded innocence: “That’s not fair.

I told you, I wanted to chase the most attractive girl in your dorm next to you.

How could I know that your aesthetic taste is so different from mine?

I even suspected you deliberately misled me to push your close friend to me.”

Su Hui retorted, “I intended for your good.

I thought the girl I recommended was very fitting for you in every aspect.

It was just that you were ungrateful.”

“Let’s not talk about that upsetting thing.” As soon as Liu Hui finished saying this, Su Hui’s face fell, “Then let’s talk about another upsetting thing.

Once during an exam, you wanted me to pass a cheat sheet to you.

I was caught by the proctor.

You ruined my perfect record.”

At this, Liu Hui looked annoyed, “You must have remembered wrong.

You were clearly helping another girl cheat, and I just happened to be sitting between you two.

I suggested that I could help pass the cheat sheet, but I should also take advantage of it.

You agreed to it.”

Su Hui hesitated for a moment, then said dismissively, “I’m not trying to argue about what happened in the past.

I just want to prove one thing.

I always end up in trouble when it comes to you.

So tell me, your visit this time, it’s mostly about business, right?”

Liu Hui let out a dry laugh, then took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and placed them in front of Su Hui.

“I knew it.

No good news.

Can I not look at them?” Su Hui tried not to get hooked into the conversation, which made Liu Hui feel embarrassed.

He had to ask, “Do you know why you took such a long leave without good reason, and didn’t get punished after your return?”

“What, you know it as well?

What’s your identity, old classmate?” Su Hui’s heart clenched, feeling the situation getting unusual.

Liu Hui nodded: “You should thank Zhuo Hang.

He pleaded for you to the higher-ups and said many good things about you.

Moreover, he suggested that you are the most suitable person to investigate this matter.”

“Zhuo Hang?” Hearing this name, Su Hui’s inner wound is touched.

But she maintained her composure and retorted, “I have nothing to do with him anymore.

He didn’t need to intercede for me, I can accept whatever punishment the higher-ups decide.”

“I don’t care about that.

As long as you help me accomplish the task assigned by the higher-ups.” After saying this, Liu Hui handed Su Hui a card.

Written on it was, “Special Investigation Group.”

After reading it, Su Hui was stunned for a quite a while.

Then, she quickly packed up her stuff and prepared to leave, “Sorry, old classmate.

I just remembered that I haven’t taken in the clothes at my home.

I need to leave early.

I’ll treat you to a meal another day, or you can treat me, I don’t care.

Also, seeing you today really surprised me.

I need to go home and recover.

You can understand that, right?

I’m leaving now.

No need to walk me out.

Also, it’s late, you should go home too.

Mutual understanding, right?”

Seeing Su Hui’s rush to leave, Liu Hui turned serious: “Su Hui, this is a directive from the higher-ups.

They can turn a blind eye to what you did during your leave, but this task is most suitable for you.

I’ve come to see you specifically hoping that you’ll cooperate with me in completing this work task.”

After hearing this, Su Hui displayed a grimace and then went back to her original position, sighing, “Alright, alright, since it’s an order from the higher-ups, I’ll do it.

Having a higher rank means people have to obey, let alone when the rank is so much higher.” After saying this, she picked up the card and repeated the words “Special Investigation Group” several times.

Being curious, Su Hui asked Liu Hui, “Your department is quite special.

What do you do?

Please tell me.”

At this, Liu Hui smiled subtly: “I can explain to you, but don’t think you can use this to avoid the task.”

“How can that be?

This is a work task given to me by the higher-ups through you.

How could I neglect it?” Su Hui’s serious expression made it look like she was genuinely interested.
