After watching the girl return to her dormitory, Chen Yang walked away from the campus on foot.
Just as he reached the school gate, his phone chid.
He took it out and saw it was a text ssage from the girl.
It was long, but said little.
The general sentint was two words: reluctance.
Chen Yang knew that the girl felt unsettled, but he couldn’t reveal that he was a cultivator.
Joining the secret bureau was just a matter of saying the word.
So he repeated what he’d said before to comfort her.
"Girl, focus on your studies. I won’t lie to you. I’ll deliver on my promises."
Chen Yang finished composing the ssage and sent it.
After that, he planned to drive away from the provincial capital.
It’s been three days since he ca to the city, and he wasn’t sure how things were at ho.
Relying on Wu Kexin’s help wasn’t ideal; he couldn’t be a complete hands-off boss.
He had thought about driving back to Liuhua Village overnight.
But unexpectedly, just as he got in the car, he received a call from Ma Jiantao.
"Director Ma?"
Seeing the call from Ma Jiantao, Chen Yang was sowhat puzzled about why he was calling at this ti, but he answered without overthinking it.
"Hello, Chen Yang, are you still in the provincial capital?"
Once connected, Ma Jiantao’s urgent voice ca through imdiately.
"Yes, Director Ma, what’s up? Is sothing the matter?" Sensing the urgency, Chen Yang asked.
"Where are you now? I’ll co to pick you up imdiately; we have a very important matter that needs your help," Director Ma said promptly.
Judging by the tone, Ma Jiantao seed very anxious.
"I’m right in front of the Hill Grand Hotel." So, without delay, Chen Yang quickly reported his location.
"Alright, wait ten minutes. I’ll be there soon."
"Director Ma, what’s going on? You seem really urgent." Chen Yang couldn’t help asking.
"We’ll talk about it in person! Just wait for !"
Ma Jiantao didn’t explain over the phone.
So Chen Yang sat in the car and waited.
Ten minutes later, a luxury car with four rings on the logo stopped in front of the Hill Grand Hotel.
Chen Yang assud it was Ma Jiantao arriving.
And in fact, as he guessed, after the car stopped, Ma Jiantao, in plain clothes but carrying an official air, hurriedly got out of the car.
Seeing him, Chen Yang quickly pushed open the car door and got out.
"Director Ma."
Chen Yang called out.
Hearing him, Ma Jiantao imdiately looked over.
"Chen Yang, get in the car quickly, it’s urgent!" Ma Jiantao swiftly opened the rear seat door, inviting Chen Yang in.
Though confused, seeing Ma Jiantao so anxious, Chen Yang didn’t ask much and rushed to get in the car.
With a thud, Ma Jiantao closed the rear door.
Then he got in the driver’s seat, floored the accelerator, and they sped off.
"Director Ma, what’s the matter? What happened to get you so anxious?" As they drove, Chen Yang finally asked.
Through the rearview mirror, Ma Jiantao glanced at Chen Yang and said, "We found Han Tianming, who I ntioned yesterday."
"You found Han Tianming?"
"Yes."
"What does this have to do with ? Shouldn’t you be researching him? Why call ?" Chen Yang looked even more puzzled, not understanding Ma Jiantao’s actions.
Actually, Ma Jiantao had a reason for urgently seeking Chen Yang.
"Although we found Han Tianming, he has been severely tortured, even with fatal injuries, and is in a deep coma, at risk of death at any mont."
"I urgently sought you out because I know you’re not only a powerful cultivator but also an excellent doctor. You’re probably the only one who can save Han Tianming now."
"That’s why I ca to you in such a hurry."
Ma Jiantao explained the situation in one go.
Listening, Chen Yang understood imdiately.
"I see."
Chen Yang nodded in understanding.
Ma Jiantao looked at Chen Yang again through the rearview mirror and said, "Oh, you’re not one of us in the secret bureau yet. If you heal Han Tianming, I’ll compensate you. Rest assured, you won’t be treated unfairly."
Hearing this, Chen Yang didn’t speak, which could be taken as consent.
Even though he and Ma Jiantao were friends, and Chen Yang would help if asked,
since Ma Jiantao proactively offered compensation, Chen Yang wouldn’t go out of his way to decline.
Having understood the situation, Chen Yang didn’t ask further.
And Ma Jiantao didn’t say much more either. Ten minutes later, the car arrived at a sowhat remote residential area parking lot.
After parking, Ma Jiantao quickly led Chen Yang to an elevator, then used the sa thod as Lisa did, pressing a circle pattern of floor buttons, making the elevator rapidly descend in an unusual mode.
"Chen Yang, where we’re heading now is the headquarters of our secret bureau in the Lingnan region! I had already said I’d show you around one day, so it’s a bonus today." While the elevator descended, Ma Jiantao smiled wryly, speaking to Chen Yang.
Hearing this, Chen Yang was quite surprised, never expecting that the secret bureau headquarters of Lingnan was below a large city residential area.
"Heh, it’s quite a coincidence. If you had called any later, I would’ve been on the highway, heading ho." Chen Yang replied with a smile.
Ma Jiantao didn’t say more, and the elevator soon arrived at the special floor he had entered.
Ding.
As the elevator chid, the doors opened.
A high-tech area appeared before their eyes, with various technological equipnt and personnel bustling around, clearly a secret base scene.
It was Chen Yang’s first ti visiting such a place, and he was genuinely curious, his eyes unconsciously scanning his surroundings.
"Follow quickly."
But before he could take a good look, Ma Jiantao interrupted his thoughts.
He led Chen Yang out of the elevator, then through several corridors, into a very advanced dical treatnt room.
On the table in the center of the room lay the man who claid to be Xu Xiangdong, targeted by the Blood Wolf Sect yesterday.
In fact, he was Han Tianming!
A large group of doctors in white coats gathered around Han Tianming.
They didn’t seem surprised by Chen Yang’s arrival, their gazes naturally falling on him.
"Director Zeng, this is Chen Yang! He should have a way to save Han Tianming."
Upon entering the room, Ma Jiantao imdiately introduced Chen Yang to an elderly man also in a white coat, but without a mask.
From the way Ma Jiantao addressed him and his tone, Chen Yang realized.
This elder was likely the official director of the Lingnan secret bureau!
Whereas Ma Jiantao was only the deputy director.
