Chapter 641: Interrogation
"I think it's pretty good." Huangfu Miaomiao offered her opinion from the side.
Pei Xianjue paced anxiously back and forth in the room. "Draft another version. Remember to polish up the casualty section."
After considering it for a moment, the assistant suggested, "Although it was a resounding victory, quite a few refugees died at the Construction Site. Some media outlets may consider our handling somewhat brutal. Should we mention the Inpatient Department in the report? We can shift the focus to the refugees in the Inpatient Department and emphasize the Quarantine Zone's humanitarian care for vulnerable groups."
"Don't mention the Inpatient Department!" Pei Xianjue reacted intensely, her face faintly paling. "Don't mention a single word about the Inpatient Department."
The assistant hesitated, then nodded and turned to continue revising the draft.
Huangfu Miaomiao looked at the assistant, then at Pei Xianjue. She grabbed a bag of cheese-flavored chips and moved closer to Pei Xianjue, saying kindly, "What's wrong? Have some chips and relax."
Pei Xianjue had no appetite, and there was not a trace of a smile on her face.
"Oh, cheer up. Didn't everything get resolved perfectly?" Huangfu Miaomiao crunched away at her chips. "The crisis at the Inpatient Department was successfully nipped in the bud. Oh yeah~"
Pei Xianjue forced out a faint smile. "I'm happy too, actually. I'm just still a little frightened, so I can't smile. The more I think about it, the scarier it becomes. You don't know how terrible the consequences would have been if that Xenomorph had succeeded."
Huangfu Miaomiao did not understand. "How bad could it have been? Didn't the Iron Curtain Array, the thing you care about most, turn out fine? Even if the refugees at the Inpatient Department had rioted, they wouldn't have affected the Construction Site."
