Chapter 535: The Only Accident in Decades

Minister Huang learned about Lin Nianhe's argument with the foreign merchant while he was having "lunch."

He had a bowl of noodles this morning, now he was so hungry he couldn't stand it. After hearing what had happened, he pulled out his service pistol and threw it onto the table saying to his secretary, "You go and break it up."

"Got it."

The secretary took his pistol and went to mediate the dispute.

This was Minister Huang's old habit. During war times, he never left his gun behind; now it's unnecessary, but he still preferred to keep this reliable old buddy close at hand. Once, while in a meeting, he was informed that two of his deputy ministers were arguing. Unable to excuse himself from his meeting, he simply sent his old buddy to mediate the dispute.

His intention was to have the gun's presence substitute for his own, to demand respect and say let's talk later when he's free.
