The police station was still very busy, with most people sitting at their own desks, busy with their tasks.
So people passing by greeted Tan Jing hurriedly, as if they had sothing very important to do.
"Is your police station always this busy every day?" Chen Yang looked around and asked Tan Jing with a smile.
Tan Jing walked ahead without turning back.
"Actually, it’s not always like this. It’s just been busy recently because we need to organize a lot of docunts," Tan Jing replied.
"Oh, alright then." Chen Yang nodded slightly and didn’t ask further.
Following Tan Jing through the unified office hall of the police station, they walked down a long corridor and eventually entered an elevator.
From the outside, the police station where Tan Jing worked didn’t seem large, but unexpectedly, it was quite spacious inside.
"What floor?"
Entering the elevator, Chen Yang stood close to the buttons.
"Top floor," Tan Jing answered.
"Okay."
Chen Yang looked at the buttons and pressed the button for the sixth floor.
The elevator started right away, and soon they reached the sixth floor.
This sixth floor was clearly the leadership office area, with almost no people around, and there were no communal office areas; it was mostly individual offices with naplates.
"Follow , the leader’s office is a bit further ahead."
Once out of the elevator, Tan Jing quickly walked ahead to lead the way.
Chen Yang said nothing and silently followed behind Tan Jing for a while until they reached the door of a large office.
Knock, knock.
Tan Jing raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Co in."
A voice ca from inside.
Hearing the response, Tan Jing imdiately pushed the door open and walked in.
"Leader, my friend is here." Tan Jing said imdiately upon entering.
The leader inside saw Tan Jing and smiled.
"Tan Jing."
The leader smiled and stood up.
At this mont, Chen Yang also walked in.
The mont he entered, he looked at the leader, trying to determine if they had t before or if the leader looked familiar.
But after looking up and down, Chen Yang didn’t find anything familiar and concluded they must not have t before.
"Co in, please have a seat first." The leader’s smile grew even brighter upon seeing Chen Yang entering, and he imdiately gestured towards two chairs in front of the desk.
"Haha, leader, if you need to discuss sothing, go ahead. I have work to do," Tan Jing quickly said, indicating she had tasks at hand.
"Alright, this one’s called Chen Yang, right?" The leader asked with a smile.
"Haha, that’s right, this is my friend, Chen Yang," Tan Jing nodded and answered.
"Good, my friend, please have a seat. I asked you over because there’s sothing I’d like to discuss with you." Having received an answer, the leader looked at Chen Yang and spoke in a very courteous tone.
Although Chen Yang was wary of this inexplicable leader, his courteous attitude was sowhat comforting to Chen Yang.
"Thank you, Leader, for your hospitality."
Chen Yang responded politely, then sat down according to the leader’s invitation.
After a brief exchange, Tan Jing left, leaving the large office with just Chen Yang and the leader.
Chen Yang sat quietly without any action.
After sending Tan Jing off, the leader promptly pulled a pack of mid-high-end cigarettes from his pocket, took one for himself, and courteously offered one to Chen Yang as well.
But since Chen Yang didn’t smoke, he declined.
"Thanks, Leader, but I don’t smoke."
The leader saw this and smiled, putting the cigarette back.
"Not smoking is good for your health. I heard from Tan Jing that you’re a doctor." The leader said with a smile while lighting his cigarette.
To this, Chen Yang just smiled slightly, without saying much.
The leader, now sitting with his cigarette lit, continued, "Chen Yang, you must be very curious about why I called you here, right?"
This leader was straightforward, which caught Chen Yang slightly by surprise.
"Yes, I’m quite curious. I don’t think we’ve t before, nor do we have any ties," Chen Yang nodded naturally, expressing his curiosity.
The leader smiled slightly, as if expecting this response from Chen Yang.
"Indeed, we haven’t t before. Before I ca here, I didn’t know anything about you. It was only after chatting with Officer Tan yesterday that I got to know a bit about you," the leader said with a smile.
"Let introduce myself first." The leader seed to officially comnce the discussion by lowering his head, taking a business card from the drawer, and handing it to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang took the card and glanced at it.
The content was simple: [Lingnan Secret Bureau, Deputy Director Ma Jiantao!]
"Lingnan Secret Bureau? What kind of agency is this?"
Staring at the agency na on the card, Chen Yang asked instinctively with doubt.
Because in all his years, he had never heard of such an agency, nor seen anything similar.
Seeing the doubt on Chen Yang’s face, Ma Jiantao smiled, "Our agency is top secret among secrets. It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it."
"Top secret among secrets, then why let know about it?" Chen Yang beca more confused.
"Because, our identities are the sa, so I don’t mind telling you about our agency. You’ll find out sooner or later anyway," Ma Jiantao said.
"The sa identity? What do you an by that?" Chen Yang furrowed his brows, becoming more puzzled as he listened.
Initially, he thought he was here for minor matters, perhaps the leader was interested in his skills. But now it seed, the situation was more complex.
Listening to Chen Yang’s question, Ma Jiantao didn’t answer imdiately. Instead, he paused for a mont, and after seemingly making up his mind, he spoke.
"You and I are both cultivators, so naturally we share the sa identity."
Ma Jiantao said bluntly.
With these words, Chen Yang was slightly stunned!
But it only took a mont for him to react.
On his way here, he had considered this possibility. It was quite possible the other party had discerned his identity.
"You must be surprised, didn’t expect us to be the sa kind of people," Ma Jiantao, always observing Chen Yang’s expression, said with a smile.
Chen Yang nodded, "I didn’t expect you to be a cultivator as well."
"That’s normal, in today’s world, apart from certain large families and so special forces who know about our Secret Bureau, almost no one knows of our existence," Ma Jiantao said with a hint of pride.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang nodded slightly.
He now understood the origins of this Secret Bureau.
"So, Deputy Director Ma, you didn’t call here just to tell about your existence, right?" Chen Yang proactively asked.
Hearing this, Ma Jiantao’s face was once again filled with a smile.
"Of course not, I called you here because there’s a serious matter to discuss!" Ma Jiantao said leisurely, "I researched the video from yesterday where you took action against those kids; your Realm should not be low, right?"
"I also inquired thoroughly about you with Tan Jing, and I know you have no backing or associated powers!"
"It’s quite remarkable that you managed to achieve such growth on your own, and coincidentally, our Secret Bureau needs soone like you." Ma Jiantao was about to say more, but suddenly stopped, seemingly testing Chen Yang’s reaction.
