At the dinner scene, Yang Xiao also made strict arrangements. He and Ye Zheng shared one table, Zhao Xuejun and Zhang Xiaomin another, Guo Tiejun and Hu Weimin yet another, with Liu Hongwei sitting alone.
Everyone even chose to eat back-to-back, unable to see the faces of people at the other tables.
Dining was purely for eating, no talking allowed, especially no conversations across tables.
After dinner, Yang Xiao continued reviewing the case files brought back by Chief Zhou, with the two occasionally exchanging whispers.
"Hai... Hai Hai..." There were many smokers in the office, and Zhang Xiaomin, who had rhinitis, was irritated by the strong smoke, causing a runny nose, covering her mouth, and coughing incessantly.
Yang Xiao was reminded by the coughing sound and immediately wanted to speak up, but he hesitated at the last moment.
