Coming out of the shower, Jing Hai wiped off the mist on the mirror, hesitated for a moment and turned his back.The drops of water slid wantonly along the mirror surface, dividing the tattoo-like scars on the back reflected in the mirror into pieces of jigsaw puzzles.

To be precise, this is not a scar, but the pigmentation left after the injured skin has healed.As for when, where and why he was injured, Jing Hai had no memory of it.It was definitely not sprayed by the venom of the sand python.The skin has a strong ability to regenerate, especially when the dermis is damaged, it will proliferate excessively, forming smooth and raised scar tissue.If it was an injury of Lin Huan's level, there would be potholes on his back like the surface of the moon after healed.

The dream was so real that he felt as if he had experienced it himself.However, this is Lin Huan's memory after all. After all, if there is no light shield, he is unlikely to fly to challenge the sand python that has been listed as an A-level creature warning.

Lin Huan is indeed very strong, not only physically, but also mentally.Facing the sand python who might not be defeated in a fight with the orcs, Jing Hai didn't feel any nervousness on the other side.That person's brain was like a program that accurately predicted every movement of the sand python and responded in time. If another person hadn't gotten close to the sand python's head, he would be strangled by the snake's tail.

He was sure that such a powerful person would never be "killed" easily.But he couldn't explain his speculation to Rhea because there was no real evidence to prove that Lin Huan was still alive.From the confession he heard in his dream to the tooth marks covered by tattoos he saw with his own eyes, all the signs clearly told him how important Lin Huan was to Rhea.

He clasped his left shoulder and turned to look at himself in the mirror.The Rhea in the dream was so frank that he was surprised, and the burning heat on his cheeks still lingered on his shoulders.Having said that, although he has respect for Lin Huan's strength, he doesn't like being compared with others.This body is no thinner than Lin Huan's, it can almost be said to be the same model, and even the embossed veins are very similar.

In an instant, the territorial consciousness deeply rooted in the Alpha gene spread from the central nervous system to the whole body.If Lin Huan was still alive, he would be very interested in competing with this powerful Alpha.

At 08:30 in the morning, Rhea walked into the meeting room with a yawn.As a result, he yawned halfway through and swallowed it back abruptly.

In addition to him, all the captains from the first team to the tenth team were sitting at the conference table, the director, the two deputy directors, the head of the secretariat and the heads of various departments were also there.This formation is probably only available at the year-end summary meeting every year, but it is only August now.

Slipping to the table and pulling away a chair to sit down, Rhea asked Bian Xiao in a low voice: "Am I late?"

"No, one second is not bad." Bian Xiao glanced at him, "The dark circles under my eyes are heavy enough, what did you do last night?"

"I had a lot of dreams and woke up eight times a night."

As Rhea was talking, she suddenly felt that she was being stared at by the head of the secretariat, You Xi, with the eyes of a snake looking at a frog, and she immediately pursed her lips and kept silent.The Jinghai official ranks one level to crush someone to death, while You Xi ranks him two ranks, he can crush him flat, inflate him, turn him over and over again, the official airs are outrageous.Before causing trouble with the super coronavirus, You Xi directly put him in confinement for a month, and almost wiped him as the captain.

To say that You Xi is only in his early thirties, an administrator, without any meritorious rewards, he managed to get to the rank of deputy director, so much so that people at the bottom rumored that he climbed to his current position by relying on unspoken rules from the top.Rhea has always sneered at such rumors. Some people have said this about him before, and he will be honest after a beating.

Let those Alphas who dare to belittle Omega know that no matter how thin the arms are, they can win the respect they deserve.

Seeing that everyone is here, the director cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "Today, I took up the time of the morning meeting to announce a new resolution of the joint council, which is related to everyone here. Please take it seriously—Director You, please Read the resolution."

You Xi lowered his eyes and opened the resolution at hand, and he spoke with a pleasant voice that could narrate the documentary: "Resolution No. 10874 of the Joint Parliament, the content is as follows: According to statistics, the number of mutated creatures has dropped sharply in recent years, and the members of the parliament discussed and decided , to reorganize the institutions related to the handling of special species, and the specific plan..."

After hearing the beginning, Rhea wanted to roll her eyes.Decline in the number of mutated creatures?Are you kidding me, their field work is as small as killing mosquitoes, as big as fighting with orcs, they only take one day off a month, and they have never had a leisurely life.Now that the organization has been merged and reorganized, what do you mean, you have to find a bunch of mothers-in-law to manage them, right?

But after hearing it later, he realized that he was wrong at first.The joint council's decision was to expand the scope of the Special Species Administration's responsibilities and incorporate a number of institutions including teaching, research, law enforcement and even the development of unsafe areas.In other words, the Special Species Management Bureau will rise to the top of the pyramid from many parallel agencies.

The resolution was long and detailed reassignment of the responsibilities of the Bureau's various departments.Hearing that the Secret Service will be responsible for the preliminary work of the non-safe area development project in the future, Rhea tilted her head and coughed.

The narration of the documentary was paused, and You Xi looked at Rhea: "Captain Lei, do you have any objections?"

"Ah, I hear what that means, our secret service team will become the real estate developer's security team in the future, right?"

What Rhea raised was almost all the captain's doubts.It stands to reason that this should be said by the director of the Secret Service, but Rhea just glanced at the expression of Jing Hai who was sitting diagonally opposite, and did not see any dissatisfaction on the other side, let alone questioning the resolution.

——Tch, this is a senior executive. In the face of official career, the bottom line is worthless.

Glancing around the secret service captains present, You Xi saw support for Rhea in their eyes, so he lowered his tone: "It is the original duty of the Secret Service to clean up the mutant creatures in the unsafe area, and, Team Lei, are you Serving personnel, obeying orders is a soldier's bounden duty."

"The bounden duty of a soldier is to protect civilians from harm." Jing Hai continued, "Director You, Team Lei's idea is also my idea. The Secret Service is limited in manpower, and good steel is used wisely. Except for emergency missions, we I will not let my people work for any interest organization."

After these words, he wanted to communicate with the director and You Xi alone after the meeting, so that they could give feedback to the higher-ups.It was office politics, requiring some tact, and Rhea obviously didn't care, saying what she thought.Now that he has brought it up frankly, if he does not defend the position of his subordinates at this moment, it is really possible that in the future, as Rhea said, the Secret Service will become a security team for real estate developers.

Leiya really didn't expect Jing Hai to be on his side, just now he was complaining about the executive's lack of bottom line, and he was caught off guard by the slap in the face.He couldn't help but suspect that Lin Huan's pheromones hadn't been completely cleaned up, otherwise, how could Jing Hai help him speak out in front of all the middle and high-level officials in the overall situation to save You Xi's face?

"Team Jing, we can discuss your thoughts after the meeting." You Xi's tone was so displeased that everyone felt that the temperature in the room dropped sharply.

"This is what I think, Director You, you can report directly to the joint council." Jing Hai stood up and greeted the gloomy chief, "There are still many urgent matters to be dealt with, and the morning meeting should not last longer than half an hour Hours, Director, I will take the captains back to work first."

The captains, who were tired of listening to it for a long time, got up and evacuated immediately. Nearly half of the people in the room were lost at once, and the rest looked at each other in blank dismay.

——Did Team Beijing take gunpowder today?Even You Xi dare to hate?

Everyone's thoughts were surprisingly unanimous.

A group of tall and burly secret service captains squeezed into the director's special elevator at the same time, and the overload alarm immediately sounded.Before they voted to push out the tallest Bian Xiao, Jing Hai voluntarily exited the elevator.The alarm was still ringing, Rhea looked around and saw that no one was planning to show off her style, so she also stepped out of the elevator.

The alarm stopped, and Rhea raised her middle finger at the group of people in the elevator door: "Will you die in the next elevator?"

Before the elevator door was completely closed, Bian Xiao raised his finger and pointed behind Rhea.Reya turned her head and saw You Xi and the director coming out of the conference room and walking towards the elevator, so she subconsciously moved half a step behind Jing Hai.You Xi's expression now looks like the sky covered with radiation clouds, those bastards are avoiding him.

Jing Hai glanced at him sideways and said, "Don't worry, I will support the sky falling."

"Did you take the wrong medicine?" Rhea pressed in a low voice, "You actually talked to me, the sun really came out from the west."

Jing Hai said indifferently: "Whoever is right, who am I to turn to? There are a total of 130 people from the Secret Service, and they have all gone to investigate the unsafe area. Who will deal with it if there is an emergency?"

"Secret Service from Security Protection Bureau?"

"A group of non-professionals, just let them die."

Rhea hooked her mouth: "Didn't you hear Gang Youxi saying that you want to expand the Secret Service? More than 100 people will become more than 1000 people, and you will be promoted accordingly."

"Those who can enter the Secret Service are elites with rich experience in combating mutated creatures. It is impossible to expand rapidly in a short period of time. It is better to lack than to overflow." Seeing that You Xi and the director had already stood beside him, Jing Hai paused his voice and said without flinching. Meet Yuxi's cold gaze.

"Captain Jing, you really surprised me today." Looking over Jing Hai's shoulder, You Xi was actually looking at Lei Ya, "And Team Lei, you two have discussed that I can't get off stage with the director, right?" ?”

Jing Hai blocked You Xi's sight by pressing the elevator: "Let's talk about the matter, Director You, I believe you don't want to see the well-trained special agents in the bureau demean themselves."

"Self-depreciation?" You Xi's eyes moved slightly, "Beijing team, including the depreciation of transport planes and heavy weapons and equipment, the annual budget of the Secret Service is as high as [-] million, and this money is all for the people you need to 'self-depreciation' to serve Donating, defending civilians is not something that can be done with a passion.”

Hearing You Xi's aggressive tone, the director who had just pulled his face made a fuss: "Okay, Director You, come to my office if you have something to say... Beijing team, you will come later."

Jing Hai could not refuse the director's order.Just when he suppressed his dissatisfaction and stepped into the elevator, he suddenly heard Rhea say: "I have sent away more than 100 colleagues, including my old captain, in the seven years since I entered the bureau. Each of them has a pension of 2000 million. Director, I will offer [-] million. Ask the donators, who is willing to go out of the safe zone to hunt wolves with seven rows of teeth in their mouths? It is true that the protection of civilians cannot rely solely on passion, but there is no passion No one can do this job!"

For a while, the corridor was so quiet that only the sound of breathing remained. The eyes of the four people intertwined, each with their own persistence.After a while, You Xi took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the public elevator at the other end of the corridor.

Sighing softly at You Xi's back, the chief turned his head and said to Rhea in a reproachful tone: "Captain Lei, Director You's fiancé also worked in the Secret Service, and died in a helicopter crash before you entered the bureau. Since then At the beginning, he put all his energy into ensuring the personal safety of the Secret Service personnel. All the equipment you use have passed at least [-] safety tests under his supervision, because only the best equipment can ensure that you will not be injured by accidents. Therefore, in order to get more budget, he must compromise with the funding provider to a certain extent, and you really shouldn’t embarrass him in front of everyone.”

Rhea frowned and lowered her eyes, pursing her lips tightly.He will still stick to the bottom line, and at the same time feel sorry for You Xi.He knows the pain of losing a loved one all too well, it is a nightmare that can never be shaken off, and it is the pain that penetrates into every cell.

The chief patted Rhea on the shoulder to signal him to go into the elevator with him, and then nodded to Jing Hai, who had remained silent all along, "Captain Jing, you have lunch with me at noon, and we will discuss your opinions at that time."

"Yes, Director." Jing Hai responded.

Arriving at the director's office floor, after the director stepped out of the elevator, Jing Hai looked at Reya's somewhat lonely profile, and couldn't help guessing that he was thinking about Lin Huan again.Comforting people is not Jing Hai's strong point, but he can indeed distract the other party's attention: "Lei team, I have a question for you."

"what?"

"Can you really take out 2000 million at once?"

"..."

Rhea's face furrowed instantly.He took out his phone and turned his back, and with a little guilt, he called up the account balance to check.Relying on his extraordinary eyesight that can break hairs with a single shot from [-] meters away, Jing Hai glanced at the screen of the phone calmly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It is two thousand, but there are still four zeros behind.
