The announcement repeated three times, echoing through the empty, silent Branch hall in the middle of the night.
Xia Chujian and the others were in Gu Shanjun's office, where the soundproofing was especially good, and they had not heard any of it.
However, their Smart Bracelets had all received notifications that the mission was complete and that they could collect their rewards.

Just as the team members thought they could leave, Gu Shanjun stopped them again.
"Ye Shijie, correct? There's one more matter."
