The waiter said a few words to them, but neither Minister Duan nor Wei Junwu understood.
They immediately turned their gazes to the other translators.
Although the other translators were not as capable as Su Xiaotian, they had no problem with such simple translation work.
"The waiter said that people from the police station are here and want to see our person in charge!"
Upon hearing this translation, the expressions of Minister Duan and Wei Junwu turned grim almost instantly.
They both showed signs of worry.
The police were here?
They had just arrived, and the police were already at their door. It must be because of Su Xiaotian.
Had Su Xiaotian caused trouble outside, or encountered something bad, to the extent that even the police were alerted?
The two exchanged worried glances.
But no matter what Su Xiaotian had encountered, as the leader and deputy leader, they had to face it.
When Wu Menglan heard that the police were looking for them, she was overjoyed!
Her guess was similar to that of the two leaders; she believed that Su Xiaotian must have gotten into trouble.
If Su Xiaotian hadn't had an accident, how could the police have come looking for them?
Thinking of this possibility, Wu Menglan became uncontrollably excited.
She felt that Su Xiaotian, relying on her good looks, was always showing off. It was no wonder such a person would get into trouble!
It would be best if she were... and then killed!
To suppress the smile that was about to break free, Wu Menglan clenched her hands so tightly that her fingers were almost twisted.
Even so, her face still showed a hint of excitement.
She seemed to already see Su Xiaotian being dragged out miserably.
Due to her extreme excitement, she even forgot her own identity.
She stepped forward to follow Minister Duan and Wei Junwu to listen in, and to see the miserable Su Xiaotian.
"Menglan, what are you doing?"
Feng Yushu, the fashion designer, pulled Wu Menglan back.
He frowned.
Why was this model they brought along so strange?
The police wanted to see the team leader, so why was a mere model following them?
Besides, the words she had just spoken were too harsh!
They were all part of the same team. When abroad, they should interact peacefully and harmoniously. Why should they hurt each other?
Feng Yushu glanced at Wu Menglan.
He had interacted with Wu Menglan before and had thought she was a good girl, generous and polite.
Her behavior this time was truly unexpected.
"Teacher Feng, I'm just going to take a look," Wu Menglan finally reacted and quickly corrected her attitude.
She had been careless.
"Teacher Feng, I have no other intentions. I'm just worried about Su Xiaotian. She's young, and it's possible she got into trouble running around!"
Even though Wu Menglan realized she might have displeased Feng Yushu, she still couldn't completely suppress her inner excitement.
Feng Yushu was over fifty years old. He had seen all sorts of things in his life.
He understood Wu Menglan's twisted expression almost instantly.
The most important thing for a team was unity. They could not let personal thoughts put the entire team in a passive position.
He was older and had seen more.
He would have to remind Minister Duan about this later, lest something unexpected happen.
Especially this time, with so many visiting delegations, they couldn't afford to embarrass themselves internationally!
Meanwhile, Su Xiaotian, standing in the lobby with two local police officers, had no idea that a conflict had already arisen within the delegation because of her.
Of course, even if she knew, Su Xiaotian wouldn't have cared.
When the forest is large, there are all sorts of birds; she was just a small figure!
"Officers, I have arrived safely. In fact, you can go back now!"
Su Xiaotian tried to persuade the two to leave.
After all, she felt it was unnecessary to see Minister Duan for such a minor matter.
She had been gone for such a long time today, and Minister Duan and the others were probably already looking for her.
"Miss Su, we must hand you over to the person in charge of your delegation! This is our mission!"
The two police officers were clearly unmoved by Su Xiaotian's plea and were determined to carry out their superiors' orders to the end.
Su Xiaotian was helpless. She understood that these two were not to be reasoned with.
As Minister Duan and Wei Junwu emerged from the elevator, one after the other, they first saw Su Xiaotian, who was unharmed.
At this moment, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Su Xiaotian must have gotten lost?"
"It's possible, Minister Duan. After all, it's the young lady's first time abroad, so getting lost is possible!"
Both could hear the relief in each other's voices and found a reasonable explanation for Su Xiaotian's prolonged absence.
They had forgotten that it was normal for a young girl to be unable to find her way back to the hotel on the streets of a foreign country.
Seeing the two of them come out together, Su Xiaotian, usually bold, suddenly felt timid.
She had acted quite spectacularly today, but she would likely be lectured by Minister Duan and Wei Junwu until her ears fell off.
After all, her risky behavior could have led to serious trouble, and it would be difficult for them to explain to their superiors if something had happened.
Su Xiaotian didn't even dare to speak first.
However, she planned to act as a translator later and try to downplay the incident, so that these two wouldn't be scared afterward.
To her disappointment, two translators followed behind them.
When the two police officers finished explaining Su Xiaotian's actions of the day to them, Minister Duan and Wei Junwu felt a chill down their spines and broke out in a cold sweat.
This girl was too daring. How could she have done it?
In such a chaotic situation, she had dealt with three robbers by herself?
Didn't she know that those robbers were desperate criminals?
Should they say this child was brave, or that she had lost her mind?
However, in front of the police of Country L, they couldn't scold Su Xiaotian and could only thank them.
"You are too kind. We should be thanking Miss Su. If not for Miss Su's help today, things would not have proceeded so smoothly."
After thanking Minister Duan and Wei Junwu politely, the two police officers left.
As soon as they left the hotel, Minister Duan's expression turned grim.
"Su Xiaotian, do you have any sense of discipline at all?" Minister Duan spoke first.
Su Xiaotian knew she was wrong. Although she had helped Country L apprehend robbers today, she had indeed been irresponsible to her team and leaders.
"I was wrong, Minister Duan. It was my fault today. I originally just wanted to buy some gifts to bring back to my family, but I didn't expect something to happen in the mall. The robber was standing right next to me."
"You don't know the situation at the time. It was either he dies or I die, so I naturally couldn't just sit there and wait!"
The more Su Xiaotian spoke, the darker Minister Duan's expression became.
Su Xiaotian, realizing belatedly that she might have said the wrong thing, quickly stopped talking.
