Feng Shinian quickly took a deep breath, made up his mind, calmed himself down, and strode towards the door.
The guards immediately surrounded him, stretching out their hands to block Feng Shinian's way. One of the leading agents said, "Brother, you look unfamiliar! Show me your identification!"
The other guards also gripped their rifle handles, keeping a close eye on Feng Shinian's movements, ready to shoot him if anything went wrong.
Feng Shinian had no choice but to take out a blue ID card from his shirt pocket, which was the work ID card that the Special Agent Headquarters had previously issued to him.
When Luo Xingchao first took these four people to the first office, he processed work permits for them, and all the procedures were in place. Feng Shinian then stored all of these documents away.
The lead agent took the identification and examined it carefully. The identification documents of the personnel of the intelligence headquarters were very well made. Not only were the materials very high-quality, but they also had serial numbers, photos, and embossed seals. The serial numbers corresponded to the holder's identity and organization, and each organization had a different prefix number, making them not easy to counterfeit.
"First Intelligence Division? Your credentials are fine, but we haven't seen you before. We need to verify that!"
“No problem!” Feng Shinian nodded in agreement.
This was naturally within his expectations. The intelligence headquarters was heavily guarded, with sentries at every turn, and it was not easy to enter with just a single badge.
"Did you bring weapons?"
"No!"
The lead agent did not search him, since his identification was valid. If he was indeed from the First Division, it would be difficult to offend him. He stepped aside and gestured for him to proceed.
Feng Shinian strode ahead, followed closely by several agents, and entered the gate of the intelligence headquarters.
The guard room had already called the First Division. After receiving the call, Cui Yuanfeng, the head of the intelligence section, arrived shortly after. Upon arriving at the guard room, he was somewhat surprised to see Feng Shinian. He nodded to the head guard to confirm Feng Shinian's identity. After the guards left, he chuckled and said in a relaxed tone, "It's you! I thought you had run away. You've been gone for several months. Why did you decide to come back today?"
When Feng Shinian was released by Luo Xingchao, his original intention was to give them a way out. Although these four people defected to the enemy, it was understandable. Under the circumstances at that time, how many people could have persisted?
So Luo Xingchao deliberately abandoned them, letting them find their own way. He told them to come back on time to collect their wages, but in reality, only two of the four dared not act rashly. They did come back to collect their wages for the first month, but soon after realizing that no one was following or monitoring them, they both disappeared without a trace and never appeared again.
Originally, Luo Xingchao thought Feng Shinian had already run away, so he didn't send anyone to investigate. But his sudden appearance today made Cui Yuanfeng a little strange. However, looking at Feng Shinian's haggard face, he knew that he had probably been hiding for the past few months and had not had an easy time. He must have come to collect his salary.
He pointed to the office building next door and said, "You're back to collect your salary, right? The finance office is on the second floor. Just go and sign the form to collect your money."
After saying that, Cui Yuanfeng turned to leave, but was stopped by Feng Shinian. Feng Shinian was poor and lacked ambition, but he naturally wanted to collect his salary. He said, "Section Chief, besides collecting my salary, I mainly want to see the Director."
Upon hearing this, Feng Shinian frowned. He looked Feng Shinian over carefully, secretly wondering what Feng Shinian's purpose was, but said aloud, "The director is busy with official duties, how can he have time to see you? Go after you've finished, there are too many people and too many eyes here, it's not a place to stay for long."
"Section Chief! I have an important report to give to the Director. It's very important, really!" Feng Shinian said urgently. He needed to see Luo Xingchao so that he could discuss the price in person.
Cui Yuanfeng's eyes narrowed, and his face became serious. After a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "Alright then, come with me!"
"Thank you, Section Chief! Thank you, Section Chief!" Feng Shinian thanked him repeatedly. Following behind Cui Yuanfeng, the two of them left the guard room one after the other and entered the office building. They arrived at Luo Xingchao's office door, where Cui Yuanfeng gestured for Feng Shinian to wait outside before knocking and entering himself.
