If...
I could stay with my parents.
That would allow the Security Bureau to focus more on protecting us.
Our safety would be more assured!
Thinking of this, he smiled and nodded, saying, "You’ve already discussed this with Dad, so what can I say? Of course, I support you both."
"Alright then, the whole family agrees, so it’s settled!"
Zheng Xia made the decision and then got out of the hospital bed. She said to Lin Xiangdong, "Let’s go. According to what the police said earlier, the orphanage people are almost here. Let’s find out which ward Tang Ru is in and talk to them directly when they arrive."
"Okay."
Lin Xiangdong also got out of the hospital bed.
On the side, Lin Beichen said, "Dad, Mom, I’ll go with you."
"What are you going for?!"
Zheng Xia glared at him and scolded, "It’s so late, it’s already dark. Why are you still hanging around here instead of going back to school?"
"I’m just worried about you and want to spend more time with you."
"Do we look like anything is wrong with us?"
Zheng Xia waved her hand and issued the final ultimatum, "Don’t worry, go back to school right now. Also, there’s no need to come tomorrow. We’re probably getting discharged today if the orphanage people finalize everything, and we’ll take Tang Ru home directly."
Lin Beichen knew his mom’s temper too well to argue with her decisions.
He had no choice but to listen.
He nodded helplessly and said, "Alright, take care of yourselves. I’ll go back to school."
...
...
Security Bureau.
Conference room.
At this moment, the conference room was crowded with people.
And they...
were all the police officers who had signed the confidentiality agreements.
"Why were we called to the Security Bureau?"
"Yeah, what’s going on?"
"Did someone leak information despite the confidentiality agreement?"
"Are they going to investigate us?"
"If you do nothing wrong, there’s nothing to worry about. I haven’t leaked anything, so I’m not afraid of any investigation."
"..."
The room buzzed with their murmurs.
The officers were baffled about why they were brought here.
Just then.
"Click——"
The large conference room door was pushed open.
"..."
The room fell silent instantly.
No one spoke.
Everyone shut their mouths.
Under their watchful eyes.
Song Xiangdong walked in with a group of agents.
"Director Song from the Security Bureau?!"
The officers recognized him immediately, and their hearts skipped a beat. Why did even he get involved?
What on earth happened?!
Before they could think more.
Song Xiangdong signaled to the agents behind him and then walked towards the center of the conference room.
The agents sprang into action as well.
Within seconds.
All the officers present received a piece of paper from the agents.
They glanced at it instinctively.
However, with just one look...
The words at the top of the paper made them gasp.
[Confidentiality Agreement]
[SSS Level]
With a golden dragon totem embossed on top.
"The highest-level confidentiality agreement?!"
As police officers, they understood the levels of confidentiality agreements. They thought the one they signed later was already the highest. They never expected another one to appear.
"Lin Beichen..."
The three characters flashed in their minds. They realized that matters related to him went beyond national secrets.
What kind of secrets had they stumbled upon?!
At that moment.
Song Xiangdong’s voice rang out.
What he said next resolved their doubts and shocked them deeply!
"I know you have signed a confidentiality agreement before, but in my opinion, its level is insufficient. Now, please sign this new confidentiality agreement."
"Also, I hope you understand the importance of this matter."
"Anyone who leaks even a single word..."
"...will be charged with treason!"
...
...
Elsewhere.
Lin Beichen returned to his dormitory from the hospital.
Han Yuan and the other two were already used to his frequent comings and goings. They didn’t find his return strange and just greeted him without questioning.
Lin Beichen sat at his desk and instinctively turned on his laptop.
The screen lit up.
The interface remained on the club management page from when he last closed it.
There were quite a few messages.
"Why was the gym closed today? Has the club disbanded?"
"No, there was class yesterday so I didn’t go. Today there’s no class, but why is it closed?"
"Where’s the president? Why isn’t there an announcement or a notification?"
"..."
After reading all the messages.
He was somewhat surprised.
He had thought that those who could come yesterday had already shown up since no one had come to the gym after dusk.
Unexpectedly...
There were still so many people wanting to join him in cultivation.
Lin Beichen quickly drafted an announcement.
[Tomorrow at 7 AM, at the gym, the Immortal Cultivation Research Association will continue leading everyone in cultivation.]
Then, he posted the announcement and stopped worrying about club matters. Instead, he took out a notebook and a pen to start recording his cultivation experiences and insights.
The reason for using this traditional method.
Was suggested by Song Xiangdong.
Song Xiangdong knew well that in today’s information age, the internet is not safe. There’s always a risk of information being stolen at any moment.
