"I'm sorry, Director Lu, for dragging you into this,"
finally, the older medical team leader broke the silence and spoke to Lu Xiang. "…This is an order from above."
He was very much aware that a simple apology was nowhere near enough to compensate for their debt to Lu Xiang.
An epidemic that had broken out in the Covenant Nation was by all accounts unrelated to the director of the Law Enforcers in District Seventeen, yet they had forcibly dragged Lu Xiang along with them on this deadly journey.
This was decidedly unusual, even he couldn't understand why the higher-ups specifically requested Lu Xiang to escort them, all he could comprehend was that someone hoped to take advantage of the chaos brought about by the epidemic to get rid of Lu Xiang.
He had heard that some of the policies that Lu Xiang and the newly appointed mayor, Aureliano, were implementing had touched upon the interests of some corporations; perhaps the corporations had long since taken a disliking to her.
