Chapter 698 World 233
Everyone was already seated there. Officer Sun said that these two were his superiors, and Officer Li, whom he knew well, was also accompanying them. Naturally, Shen Ruyin didn't have as many questions, and her cooperation was much better than when they were talking on video.
However, Shen Ruyin still made a point of reviewing the confidentiality agreement before signing it.
The identity on the other end reads "Special Affairs Bureau".
After signing the agreement, Shen Ruyin asked, "How do you need my cooperation?"
"Let me make this clear first, I'm not sure if I can find that firefly, and I can't be sure if it's the one you're looking for."
Brother Wang carefully put the agreement into a folder, while the boss replied to her.
"We'll be going to Montenegro again tonight. If possible, I hope you can choose a time when you won't be disturbed to video chat with Ke Xue."
“If we can find the firefly by the sound you make in the video, we won’t need you to make a special trip to Montenegro.”
"After all, you've only recently graduated, and your family wouldn't feel at ease if you went out alone."
Although there was another half to say, namely that if the video didn't work, Shen Ruyin herself would probably have to go there in person.
But based on the current communication and the fact that they gave her a choice, it was enough for Shen Ruyin to have a better impression of her boss's way of handling things.
After Shen Ruyin left, the team members on Black Mountain who had received the news asked in confusion, "Boss, why did we have to split it into two trips when we could have just taken that Shen classmate up the mountain tonight? It's so unnecessary."
The eldest brother didn't even bother to explain and simply handed the phone to Brother Wang.
Brother Wang resignedly picked up the phone: "Xiao Zhou, Shen is different from us. She's just an ordinary person."
"There are several vengeful ghost kings on Black Mountain now, so of course we should try our best to prevent her from going up the mountain."
"Otherwise, if the vengeful ghost finds out she helped us and retaliates, what if something happens? Can you stay at Shen's house and guard her the whole time?"
Being thorough and cautious is never a bad thing.
"Don't forget why our Special Affairs Bureau was established in the first place."
The last sentence already carried a hint of warning.
Xiao Zhou quickly smiled apologetically: "Protecting the people from special events, I certainly won't forget that."
"I just feel that with the boss in charge, he can definitely protect people well, so there's no need to be this cautious."
Brother Wang rolled his eyes: "It's not even certain whether the one they encountered is the one we're looking for."
"Besides, finding the target firefly is our job, not Shen's job."
After hanging up the phone, the boss asked, "I remember he hasn't passed his internship yet?"
After Brother Wang nodded, the leader continued, "He's not suitable for our team; he's more suited to the working style of Team One. Let's find a way to transfer him out."
Special Affairs Team One is decisive and ruthless, sometimes acting without considering the consequences. Their attitude towards ordinary people is rather ambiguous, so for some domestic incidents, the higher-ups prefer to use Team Two, led by the team leader.
Team Two uses gentle methods. Although Team One often says that they are indecisive and hesitant in their actions, they always manage to keep the impact of things to a minimum.
Many ordinary people who have worked with Team Two are completely unaware that they have participated in events involving unscientific circumstances.
After listening, Brother Wang said, "With someone like him who doesn't do his job properly and only thinks about pushing things onto others, Team One definitely won't want him."
"They hate these kinds of incompetent and irresponsible idiots the most."
The leader chuckled: "Team One definitely wants him. His family spent a lot of money on the Special Affairs Bureau, and Team One is short of funds after paying a compensation payment."
Brother Wang understood and didn't say anything more.
The eldest brother turned his head and noticed that Ke Xue and Officer Li had the same bright, sparkling eyes.
The eldest brother coughed slightly, somewhat awkwardly, and gave instructions to everyone.
"Ke Xue, you and Shen should keep in touch and try to explain this incident to Shen in a scientific way."
"Sister Li, your current workplace will remain here for the time being, and there will be no rotation in the short term. If you discover any unusual ghosts approaching Shen, please contact us as soon as possible."
"Beware of vengeful spirits noticing something amiss and attacking the Shen family without investigation."
"Also, pay more attention to that classmate named Zhao Manrou. Her parents' memories have been altered by yin energy, so there must be something strange about her."
"But you should also be careful in everything you do, and your own safety is also very important."
Ke Xue and Sister Li agreed together. The eldest brother and Brother Wang then arranged a time with Ke Xue, got up first, and went to the duty room to catch up on sleep.
After emerging from the underground cave, Ke Xue had no missions and could get a good night's sleep. However, the boss and Brother Wang hadn't rested for long before Ke Xue, who had discovered the problem while chatting with Shen Ruyin, woke them up.
Only then did Sister Li smile and ask Ke Xue, "I see you're quite used to your current job?"
Ke Xue cracked his knuckles a little shyly: "It's a habit, but it's also because the boss is too charming."
"Thank you, Sister Li."
"Why thank me?" Sister Li's voice was gentle yet firm. "It's because you have this talent that I brought you into the Special Affairs Bureau, but gaining the boss's approval is your own ability."
Ke Xue smiled shyly: "To be honest, Sister Li, when you told me that, I felt like the sky had fallen and my entire worldview had been completely shattered."
"But now, I feel like I've been almost completely reshaped by the boss."
"When I first met the boss, I never expected him to be such a gentle person. You couldn't tell from his appearance at all."
Sister Li listened happily to Ke Xue's praise of the eldest brother, but she didn't forget to remind him: "The eldest brother is indeed very good, but you should also remember not to take advantage of his kindness and become arrogant."
"The fact that the leader can lead the second team and also cooperate with various organizations shows that he is not a gentle person without any bottom line."
"When it really comes down to it, the boss can make a decision."
Before Ke Xue could press her for more details, Sister Li used Xiao Zhou's case as an example.
"Take Xiao Zhou for example. The boss never keeps people who don't share his values."
"I reckon he'll be gone by the time you get back this time."
While Ke Xue was being lectured by Sister Li, Shen Ruyin had already taken two small watermelons home.
After dinner, Shen Ruyin returned to her room and sent a message to Ke Xue, waiting for him to call.
To mitigate the impact, Ke Xue and the others rebooked the room Shen Ruyin had previously stayed in, opened the window, and then video-chatted with Shen Ruyin.
Looking down from this window, there are still so many fireflies outside.
Shen Ruyin cleared her throat and began to speak as previously agreed.
"Little firefly, are you there?"
Whether it was because her voice wasn't loud enough or because the sound was distorted after passing through the receiver, the fireflies below didn't move at all.
Shen Ruyin complained helplessly, "Boss, do you think I look like the wolf in sheep's clothing trying to trick Little Red Riding Hood?"
"I think I look exactly like it!"
