After he finished speaking, the man looked at Zhuang Mian, whose hands were handcuffed to the small table, and stared into his eyes.
As expected, he saw the undisguised shock in Zhuang Mian's eyes.
Zhuang Mian was indeed like this at this moment. She knew that the teacher was here to save her, but she didn't expect the matter to be so serious that she had to choose between the two.
At this moment, Zhuang Mian, who had always been quite opinionated, was shocked and confused.
After a brief silence, the two looked at each other.
Zhuang Mian did not ask such a ridiculous and childish question, "Do I have to choose one of the two?" She took a deep breath and took the contract that stated the resignation details.
Then she pressed her name and fingerprints on it and pushed it back to the teacher in front of her.
The man picked up the contract and looked at it, and a smile suddenly broke out on his serious face.
He looked at the Public Security Academy student in front of him with an admiring expression.
"Yes, you are very good. You are worthy of being my student."
The man stood up from his chair and paced back and forth.
"This is now an absolutely secret room. The one-way mirror and surveillance cameras are all turned off. Only the two of us can hear what's going to happen next."
Zhuang Mian was slightly stunned, as if she had thought of something, but she just nodded and waited quietly for the teacher's next words.
"I guess you've already guessed part of it, so I have nothing to hide.
"On behalf of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' cleanup team, I would like to invite you. If you accept, you will become the leader of a cleanup team, responsible for handling some of the inner city's shameful incidents.
"What do you think?"
As he spoke, the man pressed the remote control in his hand, and the electromagnetic handcuffs on Zhuang Mian's wrists opened with a "snap", allowing her to regain her freedom.
“I choose to join!”
Zhuang Mian did not hide her excitement at all, and there was no need for her to do so.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is a mysterious department under the military responsible for internal supervision. Different from the Public Security Brigade which is responsible for the majority of Hope City residents, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is mainly responsible for investigating certain larger incidents, which is the secret police in the usual sense.
At this moment, Zhuang Mian finally confirmed that this mysterious department really existed, and that his teacher was even a member of it.
So, what could be better than the best of both worlds?
A position that does not require her to lose her job, allows her to conduct in-depth investigations into many shady incidents, and even allows her to hide her secret identity is exactly what she needs now.
"Welcome to join us. Come with me. Don't forget to give your team a name on the way. The tradition of the Purge Team is to choose a name from animals."
"Animals? Are insects also OK?"
The old man turned around and glanced at Zhuang Mian.
"Okay, it seems you have thought it through?"
"Well, why not just call me Butterfly?"
---
The institute was plunged into a week of turmoil.
The terrible biochemical monster appeared in the core position of the Life Technology Department, causing more than 30 people including the minister to disappear and causing 200 people to fall into a coma. It was finally eliminated by the super-powered people from the headquarters who arrived in time. This was undoubtedly real big news.
But there is no doubt that such news does not need to be spread to people's ears. Spreading it rashly will only cause worthless turmoil.
Although the overall quality of residents in the inner city is much higher than that of residents in the outer city, they are still easily led by others in areas they do not understand.
Based on this, this biological event only spread over a very small area.
Ji Yongxing, one of the people who escaped death, was one of them.
"...Zizizi, Hope Daily reported that the fire that broke out at the institute's headquarters on June 9 has killed twelve researchers, including Dr. Zhao Kai, director of the Life Science Department..."
“Bang!”
Ji Yongxing reached out and turned off the radio that had poor contact, and the expression on his face was not very good.
He was sitting opposite the desk of Deputy Director Zhou Zhuo, watching him write and draw on a piece of white paper.
"Are you so irritable today?"
Zhou Zhuo asked without raising his head.
"I just don't want to hear a demon who killed so many people being missed and praised."
"You are so smart, you must have figured out why I said that."
Zhou Zhuo's tone sounded very gentle, as if he was comforting an elder of the younger generation.
"Every organization, every department, and every person has their own secrets, don't you think?"
Ji Yongxing turned his head to look out the window and did not answer Zhou Zhuo's pointed question.
"Okay, let's be more positive. Anyway, the Life Science Department hasn't made any progress in the past two years. This is a good opportunity to reshuffle the deck."
The old man handed the written paper to Ji Yongxing as he spoke:
"Here, this is your latest transfer order."
The boy with glasses lowered his head to scan the white paper and read out in a low voice:
"... transferred to the [Weapons Development Department] as a researcher... me?"
"Of course it's you. It won't be good for you to stay in the Life Science Department in your current situation. You should work more in the future so that you can take over my job."
"Have you booked it now?"
Ji Yongxing was speechless. The positions of the two directors of the institute were not easy to hold. One could easily guess that the director had been engaged in verbal battles with the old bones in the parliament again in the past week.
"The more capable you are, the more work you will do. But don't be too happy too soon. If you find someone more talented than you..."
"I know, I know. By then, I won't have anything to do with the deputy director."
"Just so you know."
