Chapter 26: Subordinate to the Organization’s Arrangement

In the end, he didn’t say anything, only asking, “How did you consider what I told you last time?”

“I’ve thought it over. I’ll follow the organization’s arrangement.”

Anyway, the higher-ups intended for her and Yun Team to join the Intelligence Department, and she herself leaned towards intelligence work, so that’s how it would be.

Lao Bai was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately laughed, “Good! Good! I was waiting for you to say that.”

Ying Qiu also laughed and said, “Comrade Qingniao, welcome to the Intelligence Department.”

“Thank you.”

Lao Bai continued, “Since that’s the case, we’ll go through the procedures when you return from Haicheng. Oh no, come to my office tomorrow morning to go through the procedures.”

This matter should be resolved as soon as possible, lest there be any unforeseen complications.

He still remembered how, four years ago, when Xiao Qing first appeared, everyone vehemently opposed her joining the Intelligence Department. A group of people argued vehemently, one saying that she was the fastest at finding stolen goods and was best suited for investigations; another said that she had a photographic memory and should go into research, or even medicine if not; someone else thought she should go into immigration control…

He felt that Xiao Qing was suitable for the Intelligence Department, and if she were to go undercover, she would be an absolute weapon.

Lao Xie regretted it to this day, regretting that he shouldn’t have reported Xiao Qing’s matter, he should have just directly put her into the Special Operations Team.

“Okay.”

The two parted ways, and Lao Bai immediately instructed Ying Qiu to inform the people below to secretly monitor the person Wei Han mentioned. They couldn’t just arrest anyone the person said, they still needed to investigate.

Then he instructed them to continue interrogating Wei Han. Interrogation should be continuous, interrogating until the person breaks down before continuing.

After giving his instructions, he said, “If there’s still no core information given by tomorrow evening, then deal with him. Every extra day is a potential danger.”

“Okay.”

Ying Qiu thought for a moment and asked, “What about the person from Country W who can see into the future that he mentioned? Should we investigate him?”

“Keep an eye on him, tell our people to be careful. But if anyone can truly see into the future, there must be limitations. Otherwise, they could sit at home and see all of our actions, wouldn’t they conquer the world?”

“Yes, you’re right.”

The next morning at eight o’clock.

Ye Qinglan solemnly signed her name on a stack of documents.

After signing, she handed the documents to Minister Bai and saluted him. Their department was a military organization.

“I, Ye Qinglan, vow to devote my life to intelligence work, contribute my humble efforts to national security, and dedicate myself to the construction of national intelligence until my last breath!”

Minister Bai’s tone was also very solemn, “Comrade Ye Qinglan, welcome! I believe you will be able to do this job well!”

After the ceremony, Ying Qiu clapped for her. In their eyes, Qingniao was more like a junior.

Ye Qinglan then saluted him as well, and Ying Qiu’s expression became even more affectionate.

After the procedures were completed, Minister Bai gave her a few instructions, and Ye Qinglan took her bag and went to find her child.

As soon as she left, Minister Bai said to Ying Qiu, “From now on, answer any calls that come into my office first. First, ask who the caller is and what the matter is. If it’s Commander Xie, directly tell him I’m not here, and then tell him that Yun Team’s office is still in Lingcheng, and we’re taking good care of them. If it’s Commander Gu, don’t be polite, ask him if he still wants a daughter-in-law? If it’s from the Public Security Bureau, ask them if they want to borrow someone again? If it’s from the south…”

He gave a whole bunch of instructions.

Ying Qiu wanted to laugh, but his face remained incredibly steady, “Okay, I’ve got it.”

Minister Bai let out a sigh of relief. The fact that Xiao Qing and Yun Team officially joined the Intelligence Department couldn’t be kept secret, and these people would definitely call to ask questions. Of all of them, he was most afraid of Lao Xie’s call. That hot temper could scold him for a whole day and night over the phone.

~~

After leaving the military district, Ye Qinglan went to the post office first and sent a letter to her family and the Lin family (her adoptive parents). Her mother had asked her to write a letter to the Lin family to let them know she was safe, but she was in a hurry to go to Xiangcheng and hadn’t gotten around to it.

She was afraid of exposing her work, so she didn’t use military mail. Her work was still dangerous, so she kept it secret.

After sending the letter, she casually took out a mask and put it on. She had gotten used to wearing it, and now that she was not in disguise, she just wanted to put the mask on.

While waiting, she ran into Gu Huaizhi and the other two. They were each carrying a large suitcase, probably for their current mission. She calmly looked away.

When their eyes met, Gu Huaizhi turned his head lightly, but quickly glanced back. That figure was a little familiar? Comrade Xiao Qing was tall and thin. Her eyes and expression were also familiar!

Ye Qinglan waved to him.

Gu Huaizhi: It really was her! He told Zhang Yang and Tie Jianjun to watch the suitcases and walked over.

Zhang Yang and Tie Jianjun looked at each other. Their captain was being too obedient these days, he would go to anyone who waved at him.

“Is it you?” he asked.

Ye Qinglan nodded, “It’s me!”

The people around them looked at the two of them. Their conversation was strange.

Gu Huaizhi looked at her hair and laughed, “Real hair?”

Ye Qinglan touched the few strands of long hair in front, “Yeah, I just got it cut. What do you think? Cool?”

“Not bad! Handsome!” Gu Huaizhi said with a smile, “Looks like my brother.”

“Okay, bro.”

That call made both Gu Huaizhi and Ye Qinglan laugh.

At that moment, the announcement called for boarding.

Ye Qinglan looked at her ticket and asked him, “Which train?”

Gu Huaizhi looked at her ticket, “Wow, it’s a coincidence, same train. But we’re not in the same carriage, and our destinations are different.”

Coincidences can be fragmented sometimes, not only were they not in the same carriage, but they were also quite far apart.

Neither of them had bought sleeper tickets. Sleeper tickets were hard to come by, and they hadn’t bought tickets using their real identities.

Ye Qinglan, “Let’s get on the train first.”

Zhang Yang thought to himself, who was this? Why was their captain smiling so happily?

When the two of them walked closer, Zhang Yang curiously asked, “Comrade, are you on the same train as us?”

Ye Qinglan nodded.

“Which carriage?”

Gu Huaizhi, “No, why are you talking so much? It’s almost your turn, turn your head.”

Zhang Yang scratched his head, he was just asking a couple of questions, why was he talking too much?

Tie Jianjun, however, noticed that the person talking to their captain was a woman. Despite the fact that she wasn’t speaking and her hair wasn’t long, and her clothes didn’t reveal her gender, she was wearing a gray work uniform, loose and baggy, but at a glance, her eyes and eyebrows were those of a woman. A man’s eyebrows are thicker.

He scratched his face and asked Gu Huaizhi, “Brother, should I switch seats with this comrade? You two know each other, right? It’ll be a good chance to chat along the way.”

Zhang Yang immediately looked at Tie Jianjun, what are you doing, buddy?
