Although they didn't delay on the road, they were still late.
When Bai Zhizhan and Liu Changxun got out of the car, a group of Cabinet Ministers were just coming out of the meeting room, all in a hurry, looking as if a decision had been made.
Liu Changxun had said from the start, Xue Yuanzheng wouldn't let anyone go until a result was reached!
However, judging from the expressions of the Cabinet Ministers, it didn't seem like a good result.
While Liu Changxun was pulling aside a Cabinet Minister with whom he had a decent relationship to inquire, Xue Yuanzheng's secretary stopped Bai Zhizhan.
Instead of taking him to the meeting room, they went upstairs to a study.
Only outside the study did Bai Zhizhan encounter two Army Generals.
Obviously, before the meeting ended, Xue Yuanzheng, Peng Huaisong, and Situ Jingde had left the meeting room to discuss the final matters in the study.
