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

"Hmph!"

He let out a cold snort and closed his eyes.

It took King Kong a long time to struggle back to his feet, his expression subdued, all trace of his earlier arrogance gone.

"Now."

"Can we talk about the real business?"

Zhang Ziliang barely suppressed the joy in his heart, speaking flatly.

Dead silence.

"My bottom line is two slots."

After a long pause, Su Changqing opened his eyes again and said coldly.

"Oh, so you're saying you're bullying the Intelligence Department for having no one?" Wen Hua's small eyes glinted with a chill, his chubby face trembling as he spoke with a sarcastic tone.

After Wang Ye's aura had crushed the entire room, Zhang Ziliang said nothing more once he steered the conversation back on track.

Too rigid, too easily broken.

He'd already made his point; pushing too hard would make him a target.

Sure enough.

Su Changqing's icy gaze fell on Wen Hua as he said flatly, "Oh? You have a problem with me?"

"The Logistics Department has Wang Ye. What does the Intelligence Department have?"

Su Changqing said lightly, without a shred of shame from having just been slapped down, as if stating a fact.

"Heh. Who can say for sure?" Wen Hua's fat face still wore a faint smile. "Want to... try?"

"Hmph! You think the Action Group is easy to push around?"

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

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

A powerful pressure swept across the room.

Feeling this immense force, Wang Ye frowned slightly!

This Su Changqing gave him an even more terrifying feeling than King Kong!

Off to the side, Xiao Si, whose eyes had been vacant, turned his head slightly without any command and gave Su Changqing a brief glance.

"Enough."

"Three departments, one slot each."

Finally, Li Xinghe seemed to wake from a nap, opening his eyes calmly.

Beneath his aged face, his gaze was filled with the weariness of years.

Under his placid stare, Su Changqing, who had been radiating a terrifying pressure, flashed a momentary pallor.

"Hmph!"

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

Zhang Ziliang and Wen Hua exchanged an almost imperceptible glance.

Li Xinghe's words sealed the deal.

Under the wary gazes of the Superhumans, Wang Ye quietly followed Zhang Ziliang out.

Back in the familiar 21st floor.

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

Meeting Zhang Ziliang's gaze, Wang Ye was silent for a few seconds, hesitation in his eyes.

Finally.

Wang Ye slowly removed the cute pink bunny-eared hat from Xiao Si's head.

A Bronze Nail was driven deep into the woman's forehead, a trace of blood faintly visible, sending a chill down the spine.

Zhang Ziliang's smile froze on his face as he instinctively took two steps back.

"This..."

Relying on his strong mental fortitude, Zhang Ziliang quickly regained his composure, pointing at Xiao Si's forehead and looking at Wang Ye in confusion.

Wang Ye silently put the hat back on Xiao Si, his expression somewhat helpless. "This is a ghost."

As if feeling that introduction wasn't solemn enough, Wang Ye organized his words. "A very powerful ghost."

"The Bronze Nail in her forehead—I drove it in."

"Then... she just showed up at my door, and she can follow my commands."

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

A long silence.

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

Wang Ye nodded silently. "But being a Superhuman is already full of danger. So having one more by my side shouldn't matter."

"After all, danger and reward go hand in hand."

Zhang Ziliang fell silent, nodded, and dropped the subject. "The squad slots have been secured."

"According to Heaven Group's current plan, resources will be unconditionally funneled into three squads in the coming period."

"As agreed, I'll report to the higher-ups to approve you as captain."

"As for the members."

"So far, it's Liu Qian and Wang Qiang. I still need to think about the remaining two."

Listening to Zhang Ziliang, Wang Ye nodded, then seemed to recall something and suddenly asked, "By the way, does the captain have A-Class Intelligence Clearance?"

Zhang Ziliang's face instantly darkened. He stared at Wang Ye gloomily. "Yes. I really don't get why you're so fixated on this A-Class Intelligence Clearance."

Wang Ye smiled but said nothing.

Zhang Ziliang pondered for a moment. "The higher-ups seem to have more moves planned. The current allocation is—"

"Shangjing City is divided into three major districts: Donghua, Xikou, and Zhongjie. The three squads correspond to these three districts."

"Resources will be distributed based on each district's performance."

"But I think it's not that simple. Performance should be tied to the higher-ups' subsequent plans."

Zhang Ziliang analyzed as he spoke.

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

As a reincarnator, he knew part of the information, but Zhang Ziliang had already guessed most of it right.

After a brief chat with Zhang Ziliang, Wang Ye left the office.

At the office door, Wang Qiang and Liu Qian were leaning against the wall, waiting silently.

Seeing Wang Ye come out, Liu Qian's eyes lit up slightly. She licked her lips and sidled up.

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

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

Wang Ye nodded faintly. "Minister Zhang should still have things to discuss with you. I'll take my leave."

With that, Wang Ye gave Wang Qiang a slight nod and turned to leave with Xiao Si.

"..."

Liu Qian stared at Wang Ye's retreating back, falling silent, her teeth clenched slightly.

Wang Qiang had somehow come over and stood beside Liu Qian, speaking softly. "Sometimes, what's missed is missed."

"Our captain here—he may not talk much, but he sees things clearly."

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

Back then, Facing Su Wenqian, Wang Qiang had stood firmly behind Wang Ye.

But Liu Qian had remained silent.

Standing at the meeting room door, Liu Qian was silent for a long time, then her face filled with resolve again. She followed Wang Qiang inside.

As for Wang Ye, He was caught in a dilemma.

This Zhou Han had come sniffing around again.
