Special Forces: At the beginning, An Ran pulled him to get his certificate.

"Hey bro, what's going on in there? Tell me about it!" A soldier sidled up to his comrade who had just come out of the assessment room and asked in a low voice, his face full of curiosity.

"Go in and experience it for yourself, you'll see." The soldier who had just come out looked mysterious and didn't answer directly.

Just then, Old Fan's loud and authoritative voice rang out: "Hurry up, the next one in, and everyone keep quiet!"

Upon hearing the order, the team member who was exchanging glances dared not delay any longer and hurriedly went into the room. This time, he came out about a minute later, his expression a mix of surprise and annoyance, and he gestured with one finger to his companion.

"Damn it, I'm only at Level 1 Security!" He was furious. "Why is it that the first guy who went in is a Level 3 National Talent, while I'm only Level 1?" The more he thought about it, the more unfair it seemed, and he couldn't help but complain in his mind.

He thought back carefully, and realized the questions weren't actually that difficult. They were all about how to handle emergencies during missions, and he had answered them all methodically and clearly. Yet, the result was still unsatisfactory. What exactly were these evaluation criteria? He was full of doubts, but had nowhere to ask, so he could only complain silently to himself.

However, although everyone had their own thoughts, they all understood that it was a matter of discipline and could only swallow their dissatisfaction.

Thus, after nearly half a year of unremitting efforts, the National Strategic Security Department was finally successfully established under Chen Jun's meticulous preparation. Of course, this is currently only the headquarters. Next, Chen Jun has a series of important tasks to carry out, one of the key tasks being the establishment of branches. For example, in Donghai City, after careful consideration, Chen Jun decided to put An Ran in charge of setting up the intelligence department there.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. Under Chen Jun's overall planning, all the branches took root across the country like stars in the sky. These branches were closely connected with the main base, ultimately forming a comprehensive department with multiple functions working together and complementing each other to build a powerful and tight national security protection network. Old Fan and former company commander You Junda were also assigned by Chen Jun to different important positions based on their respective expertise and abilities, shouldering new missions.

"These past few months have been even more tiring than carrying out actual combat missions," Chen Jun said, sitting in his office, gently rubbing his temples, a hint of weariness on his face. He brewed himself a cup of hot tea, the rising steam adding warmth to the somewhat chilly office. During this time, he had traveled to countless places and poured his heart and soul into the establishment of the Strategic Security Bureau and its branches. Fortunately, the major tasks were now mostly completed, and the smaller, more trivial matters could be handled by a few capable assistants.

"Sigh, it's been three months since I've been home again." Chen Jun gazed out the window, a hint of longing for his family in his eyes. That day, after finishing his work, Chen Jun couldn't wait to return to Donghai City, eagerly anticipating seeing his wife and children whom he missed day and night.

Chen Jun's identity is now different; he is the director of the Strategic Security Bureau. Compared to the past, unless there is a strategic-level emergency, his working hours are relatively regular, and he has more freedom of movement. Unlike before, when he was constantly on the go, rushing to wherever there was a mission, he no longer had any time for himself.

Back home, Chen Jun enjoyed the warm time with his family, spending three happy days with his wife and children. However, that night, after a sweet moment with his wife, another encrypted phone he had placed aside suddenly rang.

An Ran glanced at the phone and instantly understood what was going on. She said gently, "I'll go wash up." With that, she very considerately walked towards the bathroom. Although they were husband and wife, An Ran knew that state-level information was highly confidential, so she always took the initiative to avoid the situation, giving Chen Jun ample space to handle his work.

After his wife left, Chen Jun reached out and answered the phone. Surprisingly, the voice of Director Jiang Ling of the National Security Bureau came through the phone.

"Chen Jun, it's me. Sorry to disturb your rest so late." Director Jiang Ling's voice came through the receiver, tinged with apology.

Chen Jun's current position and power within the national security system are arguably no less than that of Director Jiang Ling. However, Chen Jun is, after all, a junior, and Director Jiang Ling had helped him a great deal in the past, so even though both are now generals, Chen Jun still holds Director Jiang in high esteem.

"Sir, please just say what you need to say. I'm alone now, so it's easier to communicate." Chen Jun's tone was respectful and sincere.

"Alright, I won't beat around the bush. After our National Security Bureau's thorough investigation, we've discovered that top-secret national documents have been leaked." Director Jiang Ling's voice was serious and heavy.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jun's relaxed state vanished instantly, and he became extremely serious.

Before establishing the Strategic Security Bureau, he served as the nation's chief engineer and chief designer, and he was acutely aware of the importance of national-level data. For this data, the nation often invests enormous sums of money and the tireless efforts of countless researchers.

However, there are always some people whose eyes are blinded by selfishness, leading to frequent data leaks. No matter the era or place, such traitors always exist, which is one of the key reasons he was determined to establish the Strategic Security Bureau.

Upon hearing the news of the leak of top-secret information, Chen Jun's face immediately turned murderous.

"This happened just three hours ago. Our intelligence department received information about a leak involving three traitorous scientists. They were all engineers in the country's top-secret biological laboratory, and they were all senior engineers."

"Of course, after we invited them for tea, they all said they were threatened, but the leaked information was too much, exceeding five thousand pages. This is the data that countless scientists have been working day and night to develop..."

"Threats? Were their families threatened?"

"Hehe, there was one who was a bit tough, and he was indeed threatened, but the other two were simply born rebels. They took the risk because they were having extramarital affairs and keeping 18 or 19-year-old college student lovers."
