Director Lei was a man of action. By noon the very next day, he called Chen Chuan to tell him that things with the Foreign Affairs Bureau had been settled and Director Liu had agreed.
The commission to retrieve the Oak Leaf would be issued soon and specifically assigned to him. The justification was solid: he had been the first to pursue the fugitives and had single-handedly killed Duma on the road, all while risking gunfire.
Given the commission's difficulty, and with Director Lei's advocacy, the Foreign Affairs Bureau had been forced to put up a hefty sum. The reward would be substantial.
During the commission, the Foreign Affairs Bureau would also provide all necessary intelligence support, but the specifics of the operation would be up to them.
Finally, Director Lei told him that the Esoteric Review Bureau would use the Flying Head Sect case as a pretext to speak with the delegation, delaying their itinerary as much as possible to buy him more time to prepare.
