The camera cut, moving to a second location.
This was the "entry point" of the interview area they had previously designated.
"Are we within the security perimeter now?" Su Yue asked the man beside her as she walked, looking up.
"That's right," he replied with a smile, then began explaining the situation of the area.
"The security cordon has different strategies depending on the location. For instance, here, at the southeast gate of the capital square, the public will enter from here early in the morning. The foot traffic will be very heavy."
"Therefore, more police officers need to be deployed. At that time, a tight human wall will be formed here, serving as the first line of defense for safety."
As he spoke, he earnestly extended his arm, gesturing to the scene he was describing.
"That must be very hard work," Su Yue said, genuinely respectful.
"Thank you for your understanding, Reporter Su."
He then looked ahead, suddenly turned his head, lowered it, and raised an eyebrow at her, "I see colleagues from the drill. Reporter Su, would you like to chat with them?"
"Sure! Thank you, Director Chen."
The camera cut again.
What followed was a conversation with several police officers.
Finally, after an hour, the interview was drawing to a close.
They were currently in front of the last police officer.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Officer Wang, and thank you to all the police comrades for everything you do behind the scenes."
Su Yue smiled as she concluded the last interview.
According to the original interview schedule, she should have been chatting with Chen Ziming to wrap up the entire interview.
However, perhaps seeing that Su Yue's lips were a little dry, Officer Wang casually took two bottles of mineral water from the case beside him and handed them to Su Yue and Chen Ziming.
"You're too kind, Reporter Su. Serving the people is what we should do," he replied with a smile.
He added, "Have some water. You must be tired after a busy morning."
Su Yue was a little stunned. However, she didn't see Bai Li Qing make any move, nor did the camera show any reaction. She guessed that this moment of genuine emotion was probably meant to be recorded.
It also showed the police's concern for the public.
So, she smiled lightly, "Thank you, Officer Wang."
However, when she tried to twist open the cap, she found her hand was a little weak and couldn't open it.
It was probably because she had been holding the microphone for too long.
She felt embarrassed and was about to say she wouldn't drink it, but the water bottle was snatched away by Officer Wang.
With a "click," it was opened cleanly and handed back to her.
The speed was so fast that Director Chen, who was about to help, couldn't even intervene. He awkwardly retracted his outstretched hand.
"Thank you, thank you very much," Su Yue said, a little surprised. After taking a sip of water, she remembered the Director Chen beside her.
She looked up at him with a smile and said, "Thank you, Director Chen, for showing me all this today, letting me know how hard the police comrades work to create a safe living environment for us."
"You're welcome, Reporter Su." The man also wore a gentle smile.
Then came the wrap-up.
The moment Bai Li Qing called "Cut," the handsome face lost its smile. He glanced at the happy Officer Wang, then leaned down and looked at the girl still holding the water bottle.
Su Yue was startled.
It seemed like it had been a long time since he looked at her like this.
"Reporter Su knows that Uncle Police works hard, yet you let someone else open the bottle cap for you. What are your intentions?"
He had a handsome face, but his words were unpleasant.
"Aren't you childish?" She frowned, showing disgust.
"I'm fine, Director Chen..." Officer Wang heard their conversation and, thinking the director was concerned about him, quickly explained.
But he was silenced by a cold glance from the director.
At this moment, Bai Li Qing also walked over. Chen Ziming stood up straight and gave her a slight smile.
"Teacher Bai Li, shall we go back?" Su Yue asked.
"It's lunchtime now. You two can go have a meal. The afternoon activities start late, so there's no need to rush back." Bai Li Qing glanced at the two who were in an unclear situation and found it amusing.
Su Yue's heart stirred, and she immediately looked at the man in front of her, "Director Chen, take me to eat. I want to eat the stone pot fish at Five Plate Street."
"You two discuss it amongst yourselves. I'm leaving now, Yue Yue." Bai Li Qing felt that this place was not suitable for lingering and left first.
She even dragged away the young Officer Wang who was observing from the side.
Seeing that everyone had left, Su Yue became bolder. She grabbed his sleeves with both hands and shook them, her voice sweet:
"Will you, Director Chen?"
