And he was right, these handcuffs should not be put on them.

Before coming here, the minister had actually told me to try my best to win over Bai Ningyu and get her to join the confidential department of the Qiucheng Ministry.

The minister told himself that he had investigated Bai Ningyu. Her parents died early and her uncle and aunt took over her family property. In other words, she had no identity or background at all.

The minister watched her live broadcast and praised Bai Ningyu's abilities highly.

But when Liang Yong heard that Bai Ningyu was a live fortune teller, he became dismissive of her. He thought that Bai Ningyu was just a liar who knew some Taoist tricks and was not worthy of being in the upper class.

But the minister was impressed by Bai Ningyu's ability to draw talismans, but more importantly, she had a master who was an alchemist.

You should know that there are only two alchemists in the confidential department of the entire Qiucheng, one is just at the early stage of the first grade, and the other is at the peak of the first grade, but the quality and efficiency of their alchemy are really not satisfactory.

But because alchemists are rare, even ministers have to give them some face and treat them like treasures.

In addition, members need a large amount of elixirs when they go out on missions or to advance. Once the elixirs are out of supply, it will greatly affect the overall strength of Qiu City’s confidential department.

That's why the minister wanted to recruit Bai Ningyu, who had not yet joined any department.

In fact, after joining the confidential department, the members are treated very generously. Except for those extraordinary people from aristocratic families, the confidential department is a place that ordinary extraordinary people are scrambling to get into.

Liang Yong originally thought that Bai Ningyu was just a little girl with no background and no knowledge. He thought that letting such a person join the confidential department was a great honor for her.

So Liang Yong thought, it would be better to give her a warning first. This girl must have never seen such a scene before, and she would definitely panic. From then on, she would just do whatever he said and do whatever he asked her to do.

But obviously he thought too simply. Liang Yong forgot that the minister told him to treat others with courtesy.

He also forgot that even though Bai Ningyu had no identity or background, she had made a name for herself in such a short period of time. She must have had great opportunities. How could she offend her powerful alchemist master so easily?

However, what Liang Yong did not expect was that Bai Ningyu actually had such a powerful martial arts master by her side!

Moreover, this martial arts master does not seem to be an ordinary person, because ordinary people obey the orders of the confidential department and dare not refute them. However, he knows the rules of the confidential department so well, which shows that the power behind him is extraordinary.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Even the personnel who were exploring the seabed noticed something was wrong and gathered around Liang Yong. The two sides confronted each other, neither willing to give in, and it seemed that a fight was about to break out.

At this moment, a member whispered something in Liang Yong's ear.

Liang Yong looked at Li Shang with a sudden change of expression, then waved his hand to let the crowd disperse, and then awkwardly took back the handcuffs and bowed to Li Shang. He looked as if he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended, and his face was full of bitterness.

Bai Ningyu looked at Liang Yong with great interest, then looked at Li Shang. She had known that this guy was not an ordinary person, but she didn't expect that even the confidential department had to respect him.

Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity, Qiu Zixiao was still too young and slipped away too early, so he didn’t see this scene.

"So you're the Third Young Master of the Li family in Kyoto. My apologies. I was just being disrespectful. I was just being reckless. I hope you can forgive me. I didn't know your identity before, so I was afraid of not knowing who was friend or foe. Since you're the Third Young Master of Li, there's naturally no problem."

This statement is too false. Didn't Liang Yong come here only after receiving orders from above? How could he not know who is the enemy and who is the friend?

Of course, Bai Ningyu and Li Shang had no intention of causing any conflict with the confidential department, so they just ignored it and gave Liang Yong a way out.

So Bai Ningyu and Li Shang followed Liang Yong to the road beside the lake.

There were many fully armed psychics surrounding the lake, and they were on meticulous alert.

When the psychics saw Liang Yong coming up, their originally solemn expressions relaxed a little.

Because the live broadcast was interrupted, netizens had no idea what was happening to Bai Ningyu and the others, so many people on the buildings on both sides leaned their heads out of the windows to look out.

When they saw these armed "policemen" they originally thought that something had happened with the anchor, but now when they saw Bai Ningyu diving out of the lake, they finally felt relieved.

Cheers came from the buildings on both sides. Bai Ningyu looked at her fans and showed a long-lost smile.

Many netizens took pictures of this scene and forwarded it online to inform fans who were worried about Bai Ningyu that the anchor was safe!

After bypassing the huge construction sign that blocked the vehicles, Liang Yong took the two of them into a military off-road vehicle.

But after getting in the car, Bai Ningyu realized that this car was not as simple as it seemed.

Li Shang noticed the surprise in Bai Ningyu's eyes, smiled faintly, and began to explain to her softly, "This vehicle is no ordinary military off-road vehicle. It's equipped with the latest protection system. The body is made of a special alloy that can effectively resist attacks from those with abilities below the seventh rank. Even a warrior at the peak of Dan Jin would find it difficult to penetrate its defenses in such a short time."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ningyu secretly sighed in her heart that the equipment of this confidential department was really amazing.

She reached out and gently touched the wall of the car, and felt a faint energy fluctuation. It was obvious that there were many high-tech devices hidden in the car.

Seeing Bai Ningyu's interest, Li Shang continued, "Not only that, there's also an emergency response system installed under the seats. Once in danger, the car can automatically activate its defense mechanism, releasing a special energy barrier that instantly increases its protection level."

Bai Ningyu nodded and became even more fond of the car.

Thinking about my current limited strength, it would be great if I could have a car like this. Unfortunately, it is just wishful thinking.

Bai Ningyu withdrew her hand and sighed, "It seems that the equipment of the confidential department is indeed extraordinary."

Liang Yong sat in the passenger seat, listening to Major General Li San's clear description of the car's performance, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Everyone knew his background very clearly. Now he just hoped that Master Li Sanshao would be magnanimous and not care about his rudeness just now. As he said this, he secretly cursed Bai Ningyu in his heart.

Because of the martial arts that Bai Ningyu had practiced, Liang Yong did not feel the fluctuation of her spiritual power, so he just thought that Bai Ningyu was a useless vase and became even more disgusted with her.

It's just a beauty who brings disaster. I think Young Master Li is only willing to help her because she is pretty. Otherwise, how can she, a fortune-teller, defeat the four-faced ghost? It's ridiculous!

Thinking of this, Liang Yong quickly smiled and complimented him, "As expected of Master Li, you're absolutely right. Since we're dealing with extremely dangerous missions and arresting unusual individuals, and we don't have your skills, we can only work harder on our equipment."

Li Shang ignored Liang Yong. After being annoyed, he stopped talking. The four people in the car remained silent all the way.

Li Shang's gaze occasionally flicked towards Bai Ningyu beside him, his brows furrowed slightly. He suspected that Director Liao Ran would definitely try to get Bai Ningyu to join him during this trip to the confidential department. He just didn't know if Bai Ningyu had any such plans...
