71 Spooked by Immigration

Thursday continue ...

Anna, was terrified at the thought that the immigration officials, if they were truly that, would arrest her.Damn.She had no idea that the move by Yang Lin and Lu Jinhu would be like this.However given how they acted, she realised that she should have expected something crazy like this from them.

Before Anna could respond, the bodyguard who drove her to work this morning, entered the department and came towards the room.Another of the immigration officers stationed outside the room spoke up "Sir, you have no rights to be here, leave."

However, the bodyguard was able to force himself into the room past the two immigration officials outside the room and shut the door, before saying "Madam Hou, do you need help."

"Not right at the moment.Yi said if I need him, to call him" replied Anna.

While she spoke, Anna quickly messaged Yi, saying 'turning off intranet now,' and with that she logged out of the intranet to protect it.

The first immigration official said "Madam Hou?"

With that Anna, decided that she needed to stop this before it got to far.With that she reached down, and picked up her handbag, pulling out her passport, and her marriage certificate copy."I think that these will clarify my situation, but you cannot take them with you."

With that she opened her passport and the certified copy of her marriage certificate, and the first immigration officer looked at both documents."I do not believe that the marriage certificate is a real copy.You need to show me a real copy"

"Sir, that is secure at home."

"Well as you cannot produce it now, I will have to arrest you and seize everything here."

"I do not think that you want to do that, as it will seriously annoy my husband.What happens if I can get my husband here.Will that help?"

"We do not care who your husband is, this is fake."

With that four more people arrived in the department, and they chased the women into one office and made sure the door was closed.One stood outside that door to keep them there and the remaining three stood outside the room Anna was in.One looked like one of the bodyguards for yesterday, so she guessed that Hou Yi sent them down.

Anna's mobile started ringing, and she looked and noticed that it was Hou Yi calling.She answered, and put it on speaker, so everyone could hear "Hi darling.I have in my office four immigration officers.They want to arrest me saying that I am illegally in the country and have no right to be working here."

"Sweetheart, Assistant Wang is on his way down.He has the originals of our marriage certificate, your household register and our household register.If that is not enough, he will escort them up to my office, and I guess you might as well come up to, so we can resolve it without to much difficultly because you were coming up anyway."

"Ok darling."Anna looked up and spotted Assistant Wang walking in the department door."Assistant Wang has just arrived.Do you want to stay on the phone?"

"I think I will if you are OK with that."

By then Assistant Wang was let into the office, and the door was closed behind him.The room was getting very crowded, but at least what was happening was kept quiet.

"Madam Hou apologies for this.Gentleman, I am Wang Long and I am the personal assistant for CEO Hou Yi, of the Hou Enterprises. CEO Hou has given me the originals of his and Madam Hou's Marriage Certificate, Madam Hou's household register, and their joint household register, all issued two days ago by the Civil Administration Bureau.I also have copies of each of these for you to check and keep.Additionally, on an email in my office is the footage provided by the Civil Administration Bureau that shows the issuing of the marriage certificate to CEO Hou and Madam Hou."

"Let me look at those" responded the first official.He picked up each document separately and started to examine them.Once he had finished, he indicated "They look like they are originals, but I am doubtful until I see this so-called footage.Miss, I doubt that you are married to CEO Hou."

"Fine, have your doubts, but I expect an apology when I can prove it.Give me a moment, and I will pack up the items I have here and carry them with me up to my husband's office, as I am aware that you want to seize them.If you are not satisfied then and after you contact the Civil Administration Bureau to confirm our marriage, then you can take them as you said you wanted."

With that Anna, unplugged her laptop, and placed it back in its case.She picked it up, along with her Handbag, and the pass key that Assistant Wang had given her previously.With her head held high she walked out of the legal department with the immigration officials, Assistant Wang and the bodyguards behind her.As Supervisor An opened the room door that they were in Anna heard one woman say "Thank god that fake is being taken away."
