44: Chapter 44 Interview

The [tear of the empress] was actually glowing. What did this mean?

Could there be something hidden inside?

Su Fan held up the crystalline teardrop and examined it carefully when he suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Husband... Husband... Are you there?"

"...Yao?"

"Is that your voice?"

Su Fan was extremely excited. He merged his Divine Sense into the teardrop and was stunned to see a stunningly beautiful woman in golden armor appearing before him, her eyes slightly red...

"Wife, it really is you!"

Su Fan's heart was filled with joy, and he wanted to embrace her...

At that moment, he realized that what was before him was merely a screen of light; Ji Yao was inside the light screen and had not actually appeared before him.

"Husband, I am currently in the Endless Immortal Domain of the Eternal Heavenly Realm. I am going to find a teleportation array leading to Earth. Wait for me; I will come to find you very soon!"

At this moment, Ji Yao was in the Endless Immortal Domain. Within the light screen, behind her stood rows of palaces and towering celestial halls. Immortals shuttled between them, chatting or busy at work. It was bustling with noise and excitement, like a colorful painting.

Being able to see Su Fan again put her in an excellent mood, with smiles dancing in the corners of her eyes and brows.

"Even with short hair, Husband is still as handsome and dashing as ever, with an added touch of maturity and wisdom..."

Ji Yao pursed her lips, her phoenix eyes filled with joy, looking extremely happy.

Hearing her praise, Su Fan was also in a great mood and hurriedly asked her how he could see her.

Ji Yao then told him all the information she had obtained from the Ancient Heavenly Emperor.

"Ah?"

Su Fan was speechless, "Separated by countless Heavenly Realms, which means separated by countless Universes... This..."

Was it impossible to meet even once in this lifetime?

"It's okay, Husband. I have already arrived at the Endless Immortal Domain. I will find a teleportation array that can reach your Earth. I believe we will meet very soon," Ji Yao said with a smile.

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes swept across Su Fan's living quarters, her stunning face filled with worry.

"Husband, is the Immortal Cave you live in so simple?"

"It's fine, I'm used to it."

As Su Fan spoke, he suddenly saw a few tears fall from her eyes.

"It's all my fault for not protecting Husband well... I am too useless."

"Don't say that. I am very safe on Earth. You must also protect yourself, Wife!"

"Mm! Oh, I have a bit of a headache... I've consumed too much celestial power... Husband, I cannot talk to you any longer... Remember, when the teardrop glows, it means I want to talk to you. You must merge your Divine Sense into it..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Fan's Divine Sense was forced out of the [tear of the empress].

Looking at the teardrop that was no longer glowing, Su Fan felt a sense of loss.

"But if I want to find you, how can I see you?"

"Sigh, what is this? A video call? And across countless Universes at that..."

"Right, she just mentioned a teleportation array..."

Could it be that there really are teleportation arrays on Earth that lead to the myriad worlds?

He had never even heard of such things before.

Sigh, never mind.

Just wait for news.

If she could really come to Earth, that would be great. He had been thinking about it day and night; were they finally going to meet?

A faint smile appeared on the corners of Su Fan's mouth, filled with deep anticipation. After tossing and turning a few times, he finally fell asleep...

...

Early the next morning, while Su Fan was still asleep, he was woken up by a phone call from Qin Xiaoxiao, who said there was an interview and asked him to go to the bureau early.

Upon arriving at the Justice Bureau, Qin Xiaoxiao handed him a new uniform and instructed him to put it on, saying he needed to pay attention to his attire for the interview.

The moment he put on the new uniform, Su Fan looked like a completely new person. The clean lines outlined his tall and straight figure. His face beneath the peaked cap radiated a unique brilliance; he was stunningly handsome, even more so than before.

Wearing glasses added a touch of gentleness, causing even Qin Xiaoxiao to glance at him in a daze.

"Eh?"

When he saw the badge on his chest and the shoulder straps, Su Fan finally realized that this new uniform was not simple.

He took off the peaked cap to look, and sure enough, it was an officer's cap!

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at him with a smile and explained: "After the celebration banquet last night, I submitted your meritorious service Materials to the Director. The Director approved it overnight. Because of your merit in capturing the criminals this time, you have been specially promoted to Deputy Section Chief of the 13th Security Section, enjoying the treatment of a section-level official. Your salary is the same as mine, fifteen thousand."

After speaking, she raised her hand to help Su Fan button the last button of his uniform jacket.

A pretty, fair face suddenly leaned in close. Su Fan felt a bit uncomfortable and was just about to take a step back...

At that moment, Qin Xiaoxiao grabbed his collar and chuckled.

"You're so afraid of women. You... you're not a virgin, why are you always so shy?"

Su Fan looked at the woman before him, and she stared straight back at him, the teasing and scrutiny in her eyes almost overflowing.

Her series of actions caught Su Fan off guard.

In his impression, Qin Xiaoxiao had always been a heroic and spirited female leader; why was she speaking so explicitly now?

The contrast was just too great!

As he was thinking this, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Qin Xiaoxiao immediately stepped back two paces and resumed a serious expression: "Please come in."

"Section Chief Qin, the interview is about to start. The Director wants you to bring Su Fan over."

"I understand, Director Bai."

After seeing the Director's secretary off, Qin Xiaoxiao's expression returned to normal as she said to Su Fan: "Deputy Section Chief Su, let's go."

"Deputy Section Chief Su? Are you sure you want to call me that?"

Su Fan was not used to hearing "Deputy Section Chief Su."

Qin Xiaoxiao gave him a playful glare: "Then what should I call you? Su-su? Fan-fan? Darling? Honey?"

"Stop, stop, stop. This contrast is too big, I can't accept it for the moment. Just call me by my name!"

After saying this, Su Fan walked straight ahead, regardless of any superior-subordinate rules.

"Hmph!"

A soft huff.

Watching his back, Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and a nice curve appeared at the corners of her mouth for no reason.

...

When Su Fan and Qin Xiaoxiao arrived at the Justice Bureau's studio, many people were already sitting inside, including the Director, the Deputy Director, the Section Chief and Deputy Section Chief of the 9th Section, as well as Wang Hao, Chen Qian, and others.

The Justice Bureau had its own radio station, studio, and hosts. However, this time, the interviewer was the famous beautiful host from the city station, Wang Weiwei. The interview location was set in the bureau's studio, and the bureau was fully cooperating with her.

As soon as they saw Su Fan and Qin Xiaoxiao enter, everyone inside stood up. Director Sun said with a chuckle: "Our protagonist is here!"

Wang Hao and Chen Qian waved and greeted Su Fan with a smile.

In the subsequent interview, Wang Weiwei interviewed the Director, the Deputy Director, Section Chief Qin, the Section Chief and Deputy Section Chief of the 9th Section, as well as Wang Hao and Chen Qian, respectively.

The main event was naturally focused on Su Fan.

It had to be said that this beautiful host was truly remarkable and had very high emotional intelligence, making the interview very comfortable. Once she figured out Su Fan's shy personality, she constantly helped him fill in his answers, praised his low-key nature, his ability to achieve amazing results, and said a lot of things about thanking him for his great contributions to Daxia and the Safe Zone...

It made Su Fan feel a bit carried away...

After the interview, Wang Weiwei extended her fair, warm hand to shake Su Fan's: "Deputy Section Chief Su, how do you feel about this sudden promotion from intern to Deputy Section Chief?"

Su Fan answered simply with words like "happy" and "excited." After finishing, he realized that this beautiful host was still holding his hand and wouldn't let go...

At this moment, Chen Qian walked over: "Senior Brother Su, our section invites you to give a speech about how you caught Huang Lang..."

Qin Xiaoxiao also walked over, "Chen Qian, let's forget about the speech in your section..."

"Ah, Section Chief Qin, why?"

"The Director has organized a commendation meeting, and Su Fan is going to give a speech to all the soldiers of the bureau!"

Hearing this, Chen Qian's face was filled with a happy smile: "Senior Brother Su! You are truly amazing!"

And at this moment, the beautiful host Wang Weiwei finally quietly released the hand that was holding Su Fan's right hand...
