Chapter 169: Chapter 169 Special Affairs Bureau

The head of the Special Affairs Bureau is a slightly overweight middle-aged man.

Wearing black-framed glasses, he sports a perpetually cheerful demeanor. His surname is Wu, named Wu Xing.

Nicknamed Wu Lao San, no one knows the origin of this nickname, but some of the old-timers in the bureau privately call him that.

Ever since the aurora phenomenon that illuminated half the sky happened in Xiajing a few days ago, his already sparse hair had thinned even more.

Afterwards, they quickly arrived at the scene to investigate. They found the magnetic field there in chaos, all electronic devices destroyed, and Xu Laisheng’s mansion split in half; Xu Laisheng himself had gone missing.

This immediately reminded them of the magnetic storm incident at Bin Hai’s Hai Chao District.

But one took place in Bin Hai, the other in Xiajing, over two thousand five hundred kilometers apart. If it were a natural random phenomenon, the one in Bin Hai might have been excusable, but Xiajing’s traces of destruction were clearly man-made.

Thus, they quickly linked the two incidents together.

Based on the sequence of events, they began to investigate individuals who had recently traveled from Bin Hai to Xiajing.

They even ruled out the possibility of high-speed rail and bus travel into the capital, as the distance was too great. To travel from Bin Hai to Xiajing, flying was the most feasible method.

Thus, the scope of their investigation gradually narrowed.

Eventually, they locked their target on Shen Siyuan.

The reason they zeroed in on Shen Siyuan so quickly was because he lived in the Hai Chao District, and he happened to be in Xiajing just before the aurora phenomenon.

They checked the hotel surveillance; that night, during that time span, there were indeed records of him leaving, and he was heading in the direction of Xu Laisheng’s estate.

Therefore, Shen Siyuan was directly treated as the primary suspect.

Consequently, the next step was to make contact with Shen Siyuan.

Judging from the destruction at Xu Laisheng’s estate, the perpetrator’s destructive power was extremely formidable. It was the first time the Special Affairs Bureau had come into contact with a Bloodline Inheritor possessing such tremendous strength since its establishment.

Therefore, they were especially cautious, even holding a meeting to discuss what attitude to adopt when making contact.

Of course, their first thought was definitely to recruit them. With such a powerful ally, their field work would be much easier in the future.

Even if they couldn’t recruit him, they would have to register him and warn him not to misuse his powers.

Although Shen Siyuan seemed very powerful, the Special Affairs Bureau was not so daunted by him that they would fear him at such a distance. No matter how formidable, he couldn’t withstand a bullet from several kilometers away.

It is necessary to mention the structure of the Special Affairs Bureau here.

The internal structure of the Special Affairs Bureau is quite simple, mainly divided into Field Operations, Internal Affairs, Archives, and Warehouse Management.

There are two Field Operations teams. It sounds very impressive, but in reality, there are only seven people in these two teams. A pity in number, but they are the backbone of the bureau and the main force that interacts directly with special individuals. They are Bloodline Inheritors themselves, each possessing certain special abilities.

As for the Internal Affairs team, they are all ordinary people, mainly responsible for intelligence analysis and logistical support.

The remaining Archives and Warehouse Management are two very important departments, especially Warehouse Management, whose personnel are all former field agents who have retired.

The reason why these two departments are so valued is that during the founding of the nation, they confiscated a lot of good stuff, all of which has been stored in the warehouse.

So, they decided at the meeting to send Gao Yongdao, the leader of the Field Operations first team, to make contact.

Gao Yongdao, nicknamed Little Knife, is thirty-five this year. He’s a stable and resolute person with a tough approach to things, and Wu Lao San feels very assured when he handles matters.

Yet before they could lead a team to Bin Hai to contact the other party, the spectacular sight of a sword cleaving the skies over Bin Hai was reported back to the Special Affairs Bureau.

Watching the footage on the projector, Wu Lao San was speechless for a long time.

After a while, he cursed, "This TMD is an intercontinental missile, right? Can humans even achieve this?"

The few field agents sitting opposite him were all silent, equally shocked.

They knew Shen Siyuan was formidable, but they hadn’t expected him to be so powerful.

When they had previously gone on field missions, they had only dealt with some "small but beautiful" Bloodline Inheritors.

What they did was nothing more than using their powers to make a little money, or swindling some rich people for offerings, and at worst, they conducted foolish sacrificial rites.

In the end, they would either be directly captured and imprisoned or dealt with a simple peanut-sized issue, with the Field Operations team cleansing the scene and capturing souls without much hassle. Never had they seen such violence.

After pondering for a while, Wu Lao San finally said, "Mr. Gao, let Captain Song handle this matter."

Captain Song, as the leader of the second team, is named Song Meixian. As beautiful as her name suggests, she possesses a natural charm that endears her to men. She is meticulous and gentle in her approach to work, the opposite of Mr. Gao.

Another reason for letting Captain Song make contact was that they had found out that Shen Siyuan recently had a beautiful girlfriend, which indicates that he is a normal man who would naturally be attracted to beautiful women.

Gao Yongdao nodded, looked at Song Meixian sitting beside him, and said, "Meixian, work hard. If you can recruit him, it will not only complete your team’s roster but also significantly strengthen your team’s capabilities."

There were two Field Operations teams. Mr. Gao’s first team, including himself, had four members, while Song Meixian’s second team only had three members, including her.

Thus, she had also been looking to recruit another member, but suitable candidates were hard to find, which is why Mr. Gao made such a comment.

Wu Lao San then turned to the head of the Internal Affairs team, instructing, "Get Shen Siyuan’s parents’ profiles and other immediate blood relatives sorted out as quickly as possible."

"Will do, Director Wu," the head of Internal Affairs confirmed.

Wu Lao San then asked the archives staff to retrieve all special files concerning Qionghai and get the intelligence team to analyze them thoroughly to see if Shen Siyuan’s lineage could be identified.

"Meeting adjourned. Meixian, I know it’s hard work," Wu Lao San said to the girl sitting across from him.

"It’s nothing, just part of the job. Besides, I’m really looking forward to meeting Mr. Shen," Song Meixian stood and answered.

She wasn’t very tall, standing at most 165 centimeters, but she was sweet-looking, with a well-proportioned and graceful figure, and spoke softly and gently, exuding an exceptionally tender aura that made it difficult for one to divert their gaze away from her.

Wu Lao San considered for a moment and said, "Before you go, notify the National Security Department in Qionghai, prepare a file, and if anything unusual happens, get them to coordinate."

After saying this, he reassured, "But you don’t have to worry too much, according to Shen Siyuan’s records, he comes from a harmonious family background, always behaved properly, and has no criminal record. He shouldn’t be a vicious person."

What Wu Lao San did not know was that by the time he said this, Shen Siyuan had already acquired a criminal record.

PS: For the sake of plausibility, this department certainly has to exist, but as those in the know understand, they seldom make an appearance.

It’s the last day of the holiday, so there will be two Chapters updated this afternoon, but they might be slightly late.
