Below the Stage

Chapter 803—This Is Bad

The door to the Conference Room was carefully eased open a crack. Someone slipped in sideways, moving as quietly as possible, and nodded at the people inside who had turned to look.

At a conference like this, an Interrogation Consultant who was only an outside hire and got nothing but a boxed lunch was naturally included on the attendee list. He just didn't need to speak onstage, and his seat was off to the side.

Doctor Li hadn't finished seeing all the patients on his specialist list at City First Hospital, so he'd only managed to make it to the meeting now. Fortunately, he hadn't missed much.

As Yamamoto Takeo, describing a case he'd experienced firsthand, spoke with animated enthusiasm, his gaze swept over the person who had just come through the door. Without warning, he froze, and the presentation remote slipped from his hand.

The corner of his mouth twitched violently, and the words burst out of him.

"Th-this is bad!"

The interpreter hadn't been ready for that, either. By reflex, he translated the words into Chinese on the spot, and they came clearly through the earpieces to everyone in the room.

"This is bad!"

The leaders and attendees were naturally left completely baffled.

What was bad?

What a bizarre thing to say!

The atmosphere in the conference room turned awkward in an instant.

But the host from the Huxi City Public Security Bureau reacted quickly. He immediately picked up the microphone and said, "I'm very sorry to interrupt for a moment. Allow me to introduce Doctor Li, our Huxi City Public Security System's Interrogation Consultant. Last year, he made an enormous contribution to the interrogation work of our Public Security Department. Please give him a warm welcome!"

Fortunately, the host had prepared thoroughly.
