After the matter was concluded, Secretary Mo offered to arrange for a simple lunch so the leaders could at least have something warm to eat before they left. Citing a lack of time, Mr. Ye and Mr. Wang declined. Once an officer from the Public Security Bureau delivered a camera to them, they said their goodbyes to everyone and got into their car. The others saw this and followed suit, making some professional pleasantries before getting in their cars and leaving.
Tang Qingyun didn't leave with them, nor did he ask anyone to stay. The leaders understood his mood and were tactful enough not to linger.
The moment the officials were all gone, Tang Yaxuan ran from Liu Fengying's side and threw herself into Wu Xiaowen's arms, wailing, "Mom! Mom..."
Her heart aching, Wu Xiaowen hugged her tightly. "My baby, my sweet daughter!"
Then, she said to Tang Qingyun, "Look how upset the poor child is. Dad, come and comfort her!"
