Chapter 91: Joining National Security

  "Hey! You don't have to be shocked for so long, do you? Can't you still accept the reality of this world?" Liu Yimin's joking voice sounded in Su Jin's ear.

  Su Jin's train of thought was interrupted by Liu Yimin, and looking at Liu Yimin's old face, he suddenly became furious. To be honest, this old man is really overdoing it, even if the world is like this, can't you just say it clearly, why make such a big deal out of it? He almost became a murderer and had to flee for his life.

  "Hmph, what's it to you whether I accept or not?"

  Liu Yimin smiled faintly, not getting angry. As a general of the Republic and also the deputy director of the National Security Bureau, he wouldn't stoop to arguing with a teenager. "If you're willing to accept it, let's talk about joining the National Security Bureau!" Liu Yimin said calmly.

  "Join Guoan? When did I say I'd join Guoan?" Su Zhen said with wide eyes.

  "Do you have a choice?" Liu Yimin looked at Su Jian with pity, "This monitoring device can indeed monitor what happens around me. This point, I didn't deceive you. The only difference is that I can control it. Although I didn't record the conversation between us just now, it was indeed turned on when I was in the flood. So, your performance has already been recorded, and since this data is transmitted in real-time, this video has also been transmitted to the national security mainframe via satellite."

  At this point, even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to delete it. In other words, at this point the country has already discovered your identity. From now on, even if you don't join the government's system, you will still be under surveillance by the government. Are you sure you want to do this? Moreover, if you don't join, it will naturally make the government suspect that you have some dissatisfaction with the government, but what consequences will come of it is not something I can predict."

  "Suddenly, Su Jing's eyes widened in shock and his face turned pale as he shouted: 'Damn it! I was wrong to save you! If only I had known earlier, I would have let you fend for yourself. Why bother going the extra mile?!'"

  "Hey, what are you talking about? If it weren't for me bringing you up here, who knows when our soldiers would have found this place! It's more likely that before they even find us, you'd already starve to death! Now with me here, a helicopter will come and rescue us soon. From this perspective, I saved your life too! What do you have to regret?" Su Jian's words made Liu Yimin unhappy, and he immediately retorted.

  "Uh." Su Jin was tongue-tied and for a moment really didn't know what to say.

  "Hey, actually, if you relax a bit and join the National Security Bureau, it's not a bad thing. After all, you saved my life, I won't harm you. Just like I said earlier, this is a special privilege department, ordinary people want to come in but I don't let them!" Liu Yimin looked at Su Jian with an expression as if he had just lost his father and felt annoyed.

  "Alas," Su Jian let out a deep sigh, and under duress, he could only face reality and say: "Fine, tell me what this national security thing is all about. I'll have you know, I still have a business to attend to back in my hometown. So if you think I'm going to spend all day stuck in national security or be someone's bodyguard, then forget it."

  "Hmph! Still thinking of being a bodyguard! Our national security is for executing various special tasks, you think we're just bodyguards for Zhongnanhai? Talking about your reluctance, do I dare to let you be a bodyguard?" Liu Yimin said disdainfully.

  "It's better not to let go!"

  "Alright, alright, don't be so reluctant. After all, we're like brothers who have been through thick and thin. From now on, I'll follow your lead. Just like now. Usually, when someone joins the National Security Agency, they are assigned by the organization and can't choose for themselves. Now, will you let me choose?" Liu Yimin seemed to feel a bit guilty towards Su, and his tone softened.

  Su Jin raised an eyebrow and said with interest: "Okay, what positions are there?"

  "National security can be broadly divided into two categories: external and internal. I am in charge of the domestic side, so you'll be following me from now on. The personnel within the country can be roughly divided into three types. One type is those who sit at headquarters, they can be either administrative or mobile forces. Another type is the institutional forces assigned to various locations, this category refers to those who are stationed in various places and openly identify as national security personnel. They are responsible for security checks and other work in some key departments of the country. The national security personnel you usually encounter are mostly of this type."

  There is another type, which is the underground line of national security. In other words, they have a national security identity, but it's not public. On the contrary, they all have other identities as cover-ups, and their job is to provide intelligence to national security at any time, as long as it involves national security.

  "You're a master of hidden strength, so the position that suits you is either the guardian of headquarters, the protector of various places, or an undercover agent. Choose one!" Liu Yimin said calmly.

  "Undercover!" Su Jin said without hesitation. This was the job that best suited his interests.

  "Alright, I'll promote your status. You can be considered as one of my direct undercover agents!" Liu Yimin seemed to have expected this and didn't show any surprise.

  "What specific things should I do then?"

  "The work of an underground agent is to provide the intelligence you think is suitable and wait for the organization's call. You can sink down first now, and when the day comes that I need you, I'll look for you. Alright, I know you're unwilling, so rest assured there won't be any surveillance anymore. I won't bother you unless something happens, and you can just go back to how things were before." Liu Yimin said gruffly.

  "Hmph!" Su Jin let out a cold snort and revealed an expression that said "good for you for knowing better".

  Liu Yimin suddenly became angry and shouted: "You little brat, don't you forget, from now on you're under me! Believe it or not, I'll throw a pile of small shoes at you!"

  "Alright, I understand. But how about this, you're doing it for my own good, and the fact that you can understand me like this is already the best outcome for me. Thank you, and since I'm receiving a salary from Guoan, I'm considered a part of Guoan now. If there's anything in the future, just let me know, as long as it's not too difficult, I'll help out." Su Jin also knew that although Liu Yimin wasn't good with words, he didn't have any ill intentions towards him, and this was all for his own good, so he finally let go of the knot in his heart.

  "Hmph, as long as you understand! That's all, don't say any more, the plane is almost here. Remember, since you're an undercover agent, you can't let others mention your identity, of course, national security isn't something to be trifled with, if you have anything happen, I'll send someone to handle it!" Liu Yimin said coldly and calmly.

  Following the plane, they soon returned to Wu City. After the ordeal, Li Bing and others warmly welcomed Su Jian's safe return. In these short few hours, the members of the comfort team were worried about Su Jian. After all, Su Jian was the core figure of the comfort team and had a relationship with everyone, which not only included classmates but also involved interests. His disappearance would naturally make everyone concerned.

  Returning to the camp, both local government and military leaders came to visit one after another. After all, Su Ke is not an ordinary person. He is a representative of the disaster relief team, and at this time, he has gained some attention nationwide. Recently, he has been frequently appearing in the news.

  As for influential figures like him, being washed away by the flood, it immediately made the leaders of the government and the military hold their breath until he returned safely before they could put their hearts at ease. Now they hurriedly came to comfort and visit, hoping to make up for some of the impact.

  Su Jie skillfully sent off the many leaders, and after this period of training, he had become very familiar with such welcoming and sending-off matters.

  What made Su Jin feel strange was that Liu Yimin never came to see him again. It wasn't until he knew Su Jin was about to set off for Gucheng that someone suddenly came to see him, brought him Guan An's work permit, and told him that after returning to Gucheng, he could contact Liu Yimin directly. Only then did he learn that Liu Yimin had already returned to Beijing.

  It is said that he was washed away by the flood this time, and the organization decided to compensate him a bit. Of course, it's unlikely to promote or raise his rank. At his level, positions and military ranks are not easily promoted. However, I estimate that there will be several more military medals. It can also be said that he has benefited from the disaster.

  Su Jin doesn't care about Liu Yimin's future, that's not something he can decide. Now there are more important things, that is to return to the ancient city. That's right, this is the most important thing. After narrowly escaping death this time, he finally realized what was most important. He now urgently hopes to return home, he wants to see his dad, he wants to see his mom, he wants to see Qian Ling, and he also wants to see Liu Mei!
