Su Changqing's pupils contracted slightly, and a cold glint flashed across his face.

"Hmph!"

He snorted coldly and closed his eyes.

It took King Kong quite a while to struggle back to his feet. His expression was somewhat silent, and none of his earlier arrogance remained.

"Now."

"We can talk business, right?"

Zhang Ziliang suppressed the joy in his heart and spoke calmly.

Silence fell over the room.

"My bottom line is two slots."

After a long while, Su Changqing opened his eyes again and spoke coldly.

"Oh? So you're saying our Intelligence Department has no one and can just be pushed around?" Wen Hua said in a strange, mocking tone. A cold glint shone in his tiny eyes, while the fat on his face trembled.

After Wang Ye's aura crushed everyone present, Zhang Ziliang said nothing more than steering the conversation back on track.

An overly rigid thing would break.

They had already made their show of strength. If they remained too forceful, they would easily become everyone's target.

Sure enough.

Su Changqing looked at Wen Hua coldly and said flatly, "Oh? You have a problem with me?"

"The Logistics Department has Wang Ye. Who does your Intelligence Department have?"

Su Changqing spoke lightly, without the slightest shame over having just been humiliated, as though he were simply stating a fact.

"Hehe. Who can say for sure?" Wen Hua still wore a faint smile on his fat face. "Why not... give it a try?"

"Hmph! Do you really think the Action Group is so easy to bully?"

A dangerous light shone in Su Changqing's eyes. "Do you really think King Kong is the Action Group's trump card?"

As he spoke, a terrifying aura erupted from Su Changqing.

A powerful pressure swept across the room.

Feeling that immense pressure, Wang Ye frowned slightly!

Su Changqing actually felt even more terrifying to him than King Kong!

Beside him, Xiao Si, whose eyes were hollow, actually turned slightly without receiving any command and quietly glanced at Su Changqing.

"Enough."

"Three departments. One slot each."

At last, Li Xinghe seemed to have awakened from sleep and slowly opened his eyes.

Beneath his aged face, his eyes were filled with the weight of time.

Under his calm gaze, Su Changqing's face, which had been radiating terrifying pressure, flashed pale for an instant.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, Su Changqing withdrew his aura, shot Wen Hua and Zhang Ziliang a cold look, then stood and left.

Zhang Ziliang and Wen Hua exchanged an imperceptible glance.

With Li Xinghe's words, the meeting was settled once and for all.

Under the wary gazes of the Superhumans, Wang Ye quietly followed behind Zhang Ziliang and left.

They returned to the familiar twenty-first floor.

Sitting in his leather swivel chair, Zhang Ziliang's gaze fell upon Xiao Si behind Wang Ye. His eyes flickered slightly as he asked with a faint smile, "And this is...?"

Seeing Zhang Ziliang's gaze, Wang Ye fell silent for several seconds, hesitation in his eyes.

Finally.

Wang Ye slowly removed Xiao Si's cute pink rabbit-ear hat.

A Bronze Nail was deeply embedded in the middle of the woman's forehead. A faint trace of blood could be seen, sending chills down one's spine.

Zhang Ziliang's expression froze, and he instinctively took two steps back.

"This..."

With his formidable mental fortitude, Zhang Ziliang quickly regained his composure. He pointed at Xiao Si's forehead and looked at Wang Ye in confusion.

Wang Ye silently put the hat back on Xiao Si, looking somewhat helpless. "She's a ghost."

As though that introduction did not sound solemn enough, Wang Ye organized his words. "A very powerful ghost."

"The Bronze Nail in the center of her forehead was driven in by me."

"Then... she somehow appeared at my doorstep, and she can even obey my commands."

As Wang Ye's voice fell, Zhang Ziliang's brows furrowed deeply.

After a long while.

"This is very dangerous." Zhang Ziliang's voice was heavy.

Wang Ye nodded silently. "But Superhumans themselves are already full of danger. In that case, having one more by my side... doesn't really matter, does it?"

"After all, danger and reward coexist."

Zhang Ziliang fell silent, then nodded and did not mention the matter again. "The team slot has already been secured."

"Under the Heaven Group's current plan, resources will be unconditionally directed toward the three teams for the foreseeable future."

"As agreed, I'll submit your appointment as captain to the higher-ups."

"As for the team members..."

"The confirmed ones are Liu Qian and Wang Qiang. As for the remaining two, I still need to give it some thought."

Hearing Zhang Ziliang's words, Wang Ye nodded. Seeming to remember something, he suddenly asked, "By the way, does the captain have A-Class Intelligence Clearance?"

Zhang Ziliang's face instantly darkened. He looked at Wang Ye gloomily. "Yes. I truly don't understand why you're so obsessed with this A-Class Intelligence Clearance."

Wang Ye smiled but said nothing.

Zhang Ziliang pondered for a moment. "It seems the higher-ups have more operations planned. The current arrangement is..."

"Shangjing City has three major districts: Donghua, Xikou, and Zhongjie. The three teams will each be assigned to one district."

"Resources will be allocated according to each district's performance."

"But I don't think it's that simple. Their performance should be connected to the higher-ups' subsequent plans."

Zhang Ziliang analyzed calmly.

Wang Ye silently glanced at Zhang Ziliang. Sure enough, this old fox's instincts were that sharp.

As someone who had been reborn, he knew some of the information, but Zhang Ziliang had gotten almost everything right through mere speculation.

After chatting briefly with Zhang Ziliang, Wang Ye left the office.

Outside the office, Wang Qiang and Liu Qian were leaning against the wall, waiting quietly.

When she saw Wang Ye come out, Liu Qian's eyes brightened slightly. She licked her lips and stepped toward him.

"From now on... should I call you... Captain Wang?"

Liu Qian's beautiful eyes drifted constantly over Wang Ye as she smiled seductively.

Wang Ye nodded faintly. "Minister Zhang should still have business with you two. I'll be leaving first."

With that, Wang Ye nodded slightly at Wang Qiang, then turned and left with Xiao Si.

"..."

Liu Qian watched Wang Ye's retreating figure and fell silent, lightly biting her lip.

At some point, Wang Qiang had walked over and stopped beside Liu Qian. He said softly, "Sometimes, once you miss something, it's gone for good."

"Our captain may not say much at times, but he understands everything in his heart."

With that, Wang Qiang gave Liu Qian a faint glance, pushed open the door to Zhang Ziliang's meeting room, and walked inside.

Earlier.

When facing Su Wenqian, Wang Qiang had stood firmly behind Wang Ye without hesitation.

But Liu Qian had remained silent.

Standing at the meeting room entrance, Liu Qian was silent for a long time. Determination gradually returned to her face, and she followed Wang Qiang inside.

Meanwhile, Wang Ye.

Had fallen into distress.

Zhou Han had come over again.
