Chapter 174 Ruan Zhao joins the Secret Service
~
Wu Rui listened to Ruan Zhao's unique way of rejection. Instead of feeling disappointed, he felt more compatible with her. "I understand. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you."
Since she and the person she likes haven't confirmed their relationship yet, it means they may not be able to be together. He can wait until she no longer likes that person and then come back to her.
Seeing Wu Rui's smiling eyes and no sign of disappointment at all, Ruan Zhao couldn't help but admire Wu Rui's straightforwardness. He knew that Wu Rui had someone he liked, but he didn't bother to pester her at all. He was worthy of being Commander Wu's son. This was truly broad-minded!
The two of them didn't say anything else and soon arrived at Commander Wu's house.
~
As soon as he entered the yard, Ruan Zhao smelled a familiar scent of yellow talismans.
They are peers!
Ruan Zhao raised his eyebrows and walked into the house with Wu Rui out of curiosity.
In the room, Commander Wu was sitting on the sofa and talking with Jing Yudao and two other men. After hearing the noise, they stopped talking and turned to look at the door.
"Chief, Comrade Ruan Zhao is here." Wu Rui walked into the living room and reported to Commander Wu.
Ruan Zhao glanced at the people around Commander Wu and could tell at a glance that these people were all from the Xuanmen.
Jing Yudao's eyes lit up when he saw Ruan Zhao.
It’s not because Ruan Zhao is beautiful, but because of the strong spiritual energy that Ruan Zhao exudes.
Ruan Zhao quickly retracted his gaze and took the initiative to greet Commander Wu. "Hello, Commander."
Commander Wu stood up and looked at Ruan Zhao. "Hello, Comrade Ruan Zhao. I asked you to come here today because I have something important to discuss with you."
Commander Wu then turned to the people around him and introduced them.
"Comrade Ruan Zhao, these are all comrades from the National Security Bureau.
This is Director Jing of Jingyudao, this is Team Leader Yun Heyun, and Comrade Feng Nanfeng."
As soon as Commander Wu finished speaking, Jing Yudao took the initiative to step forward and extended a hand to Ruan Zhao. "Hello, Comrade Ruan Zhao!"
Ruan Zhao raised his hand and shook his, glancing at Jing Yudao's face. "Hello, Director Jing."
It turned out to be someone from Baiyun Temple.
Jing Yudao is fifty-six years old. He is the direct disciple of the abbot of Baiyun Temple and is also the most prestigious master of metaphysics in the world.
Yunhe and Fengnan next to them also stepped forward and shook hands with Ruan Zhao and said hello.
Yunhe is 31 years old and is also from Baiyun Temple. Fengnan is 26 years old and is a disciple of a wandering scholar.
After they finished greeting each other, Jing Yudao continued, "Comrade Ruan Zhao, we came here this time to express our gratitude to you on behalf of the Bureau of Secrets.
Thank you for your actions on behalf of the country and for resolving the crises in the Shanghai Military Region many times. Thank you also for saving Comrade Hong Feng and preventing the leakage of state secrets."
"Secondly, I also want to convey to you the organization's intention. We want to invite you to join our Secret Service."
Ruan Zhao was not surprised after hearing this, but she still refused directly.
"Director Jing, I'm very grateful to the organization for taking a liking to me, but I can't join you."
Jing Yudao was a little surprised to hear her refusal, and then listened to Ruan Zhao's explanation. "Director Jing, I have my own sect, and the sect's rules prohibit me from joining any other organization.
The most important thing is that I personally don’t like being constrained, and I have children, and I don’t want to go everywhere to carry out tasks. I hope the organization can understand.
Of course, if I encounter something that could harm the country in the future, I will still take action. This is my duty as a citizen.”
Ruan Zhao doesn't want to live the life of a social animal or a working person. If possible, she would like to be a salted fish.
Jing Yudao was not giving up, "Can I ask where Comrade Ruan Zhao came from?"
Ruan Zhao didn't hide it, "Xuanqing Sect. It's a hidden sect. Director Jing probably hasn't heard of it."
Jing Yudao had indeed never heard of it, "But I heard that Comrade Ruan Zhao was the first wife of an officer in the Shanghai Military Region and had been living in a rural village in the countryside.
Then when did Comrade Ruan Zhao join the Xuanqing Sect? "
Jing Yudao couldn't tell Ruan Zhao's fate, but he could tell that she was not an ordinary person.
At this point, Ruan Zhao also became curious. "Director Jing, I'm curious too. Since you haven't confirmed my identity and background, why did you come directly to me? Aren't you afraid that there might be something wrong with my identity?"
Jing Yudao smiled and said, "We have indeed investigated your identity and background. Although we haven't found out your Xuanmen background, we have been keeping an eye on you, so we know that you are not a bad person.
Besides, we are in the same industry after all, so I am sure I can see through a person's true nature."
Ruan Zhao understood. "Director Jing, I can only tell you that Comrade Ruan Zhaodi and I have some fateful connection. I'm here because of destiny."
Jing Yudao seemed to be lost in thought. His cultivation was too shallow to see anything too profound, but he also knew that the art of metaphysics was extremely profound.
After a moment of silence, Jing Yudao nodded and continued, "Comrade Ruan Zhao, I understand your concerns.
However, our Secret Service is directly under state control and does not belong to any esoteric organization.
If you don't like being constrained, then how about this: you can stay in Shanghai in the future, and except for individual cases, you will only be responsible for handling supernatural events in Shanghai.
Moreover, you can also recruit some other Xuanmen people to assist you."
Ruan Zhao thought for a moment and asked, "Do you mean that I don't have to obey your orders?"
Jing Yudao smiled and waved his hand, "I dare not dispatch you! Your ability is superior to ours. We will only ask you for advice from now on. We hope you will be generous in your guidance."
Now Ruan Zhao hesitated.
Her abilities are inherently risky in this era, but if she had the backing of the country, it would be a guarantee.
"Director Jing, are you sure you can make the decision? You won't force me to work overtime in the name of the organization?"
Seeing that Ruan Zhao really didn't like going to work, Jing Yudao immediately assured him, "Don't worry! Unless it's a serious emergency, we will never disturb you."
After hesitating for a moment, Ruan Zhao finally agreed. "Okay, I agree to join."
……
Finally, Jing Yudao took out the medal he had prepared in advance and gave it to Ruan Zhao, and told her some information about the Secret Service.
Because the Secret Service was established not long ago, it only has a few members.
Apart from the director Jing Yudao, there are only five team members and a team leader. Now with Ruan Zhao, there are only eight people in total.
Jing Yudao directly admitted Ruan Zhao into the party and gave her the position of director of the Shanghai branch of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, which was one level higher than Lu Yan, the division commander.
Although she is the only one in the Shanghai branch, the title of director is real.
The only drawback is that the nature of the Secret Service is special. The state only gives them honors but no salaries, and also requires them to earn public funds to maintain the expenses of the Secret Service.
But Ruan Zhao didn't care about this, because she had her own money.
Several people chatted for a long time at Commander Wu's house, and it was almost past one o'clock when they finished talking.
Commander Wu glanced at the time and took the initiative. "Director Jing, Director Ruan, please have lunch with me today. I'll have someone prepare some wine and food to welcome Director Jing and the others."
Jing Yu knew that they were indeed hungry, so he didn't refuse. "Okay, then I'd be remiss to refuse."
Ruan Zhao couldn't refuse, so she stayed. But she suddenly thought of something and looked at Commander Wu and said.
"Commander Wu, I'd like to invite someone to your place for dinner. Is that convenient?"
Commander Wu was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously, "Who does Director Ruan want to invite?"
Ruan Zhao said embarrassedly. "Commander Wu, you're welcome. Just call me Ruan Zhao. I'd like to invite Qin Zongwu over."
Commander Wu was a little surprised, and Ruan Zhao explained, "Commander Wu, don't misunderstand me. I just have some metaphysical questions that I'd like Director Jing to help me with."
Commander Wu's first reaction was, "Is there something wrong with Qin Zongwu?"
Ruan Zhao quickly denied it, "No, it's a personal matter between Qin Zongwu and me."
Ruan Zhao looked at Jing Yu and said, "Director Jing, you know, none of us in the Xuanmen can calculate our own destiny. I once had some disputes with this Brigade Commander Qin.
So I want you to help me look at the problem between us."
Jing Yudao had heard of Qin Zongwu's name before, so he knew that Qin Zongwu was Ruan Zhao's ex-husband. "Okay, I'm willing to help, but I'm not sure if I can help you."
Ruan Zhao immediately said, "It's okay, just do your best."
