Chapter 802: Chapter 357: Again? (2)

The Division Fourteen mentioned by Gu Ji, is precisely the Public Security Bureau Eight Office mentioned by Li Yaoguang earlier: a branch established by the Special Service Bureau under the Wu Province Public Security Bureau. Most of them hail from the Armed Police Academy’s security studies, well-versed in special driving, security, staff operations, logistics, and tactical command, responsible for the close protection of high-ranking officials within the bureau.

"Because of your outstanding performance in the ’Golden Shield Operation’, Mr. Li recommended you to the provincial bureau, and even the Ningzhou State Security Branch expressed to the higher-ups their intention to transfer you for security work."

This statement by Lei Wanshan indeed surprised Gu Ji.

Li Ruilin valuing him for the sake of honing his skills was expected, but he didn’t anticipate even the National Security Bureau would point him out.

Could it have been Shi Zhengmin or Zeng Dan’s suggestion?

But aren’t they both just team leader level at best...

With the conversation reaching this point, further refusal from Gu Ji would seem entirely tactless, not to mention, he had no reason to reject.

Not to mention, he just happened to want to take this opportunity to "show his hand" at the conference.

Just discussing this operation, it’s purely a case of "gilding" and "gaining exposure".

Think about it, "high-end crime" is a world-class alliance, and this time it is specifically convened for international counter-terrorism issues, at such a high-level conference, which terrorist organization would foolishly walk into the trap?

Thus, the entire operation is practically risk-free.

"Thank you to all the leaders for your care, I shall fully follow the organization’s arrangement!"

"Alright, tomorrow you’ll go about your normal work and write a report, the day after a specialist will contact you, and by then, you’ll be briefed on specific responsibilities."

"Yes, Mr. Li!"

"Mr. Li, Mr. Lei, I’ll see this young man off."

Seeing the two exchange glances with some hesitation, Zhang Wenjun immediately found the right moment to leave.

Upon exiting the office, he grabbed Gu Ji by the collar.

"You brat are indeed a handful! Do you know what it means when unmanned drones are deployed?"

"A shift from law enforcement to conventional military warfare?"

"You actually know! As special police, we usually operate under favorable circumstances, did you forget the training when you first joined? Ask yourself, are you now a special police or a special forces soldier!"

"Special police."

Gu Ji answered honestly, his head hanging down.

Seeing this, Zhang Wenjun released his grip as well, "I’m not saying this to dampen your spirits, just to remind you that the safety of yourself and your teammates is always paramount in operations, understand?"

"Understood, thank you for your guidance, Mr. Zhang."

Gu Ji naturally knew that Zhang Wenjun had a tough exterior but was soft at heart, merely concerned for him.

Once he left the third floor.

Watching Gu Ji’s departing figure, Zhang Wenjun sighed heavily, turning to glance at the captain’s office, worrying, "Li Ruilin, oh Li Ruilin, what exactly are you intending for Gu Ji and them to do..."

"What do you think, Mr. Lei?"

Once everyone was gone, Li Ruilin left the desk, leaning back into his chair, and began asking Lei Wanshan beside him.

Instead of speaking immediately, Lei Wanshan contemplated for a moment.

"It seems I wasn’t wrong during my time in Jingzhou, this kid’s tactical style has completely changed, no, perhaps it’s fully formed, whether at the exhibition center or Riverfront District, both battles had a strong reconnaissance soldier flavor: agile, fast, fierce, adept at penetrating deep into enemy lines!"

"You’re right."

Li Ruilin murmured with eyes closed, "This reminds me of when you first joined our team, haha, this kid Gu Ji, every now and then, he brings us surprises, so now, it’s easier for me to answer Mr. Tang over there..."

From the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team returning to the hotel.

Unexpectedly, Gao Bo and the others hadn’t finished drinking yet.

Indeed, everyone had been separated for a long time and have only just completed a mission returning as if "escaping death", naturally, they cherish these comrades-in-arms.

"Finished your tasks? No issues, right?"

"No issues, just a last-minute mission I need to attend."

Just as Gu Ji sat down, Li Yanan leaned in out of concern.

"Huh? Another task? Isn’t your captain afraid of overworking you, no matter how capable you are, you can’t be treated like a workhorse!"

This remark from Li Yanan made Gu Ji laugh.

"It’s not as exaggerated as you say, this task is much easier than the ’Golden Shield Operation’."

"Oh."

Li Yanan rested her chin on her hand, staring at him, "So I won’t be seeing you then!"

"How long are you planning to stay here?"

"A week."

"Then it’s about right, I’ll be back soon."

Gu Ji thought she might want to personally observe his training methods and explained, "Actually, pretty much everyone on our team has similar training levels, if you’re keen on learning, I suggest you observe Liu Weijun and Zhou Yang."

Liu Weijun and Zhou Yang, one is a veteran of the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team, performing consistently in all scenarios, and the other is a bonafide special police sniper, more fitting for Li Yanan’s sharpshooter role.

"But I only want to watch you."

Li Yanan’s fingers unintentionally stroked the table, her eyes carrying a magnetic allure.

"Watch me? What’s there to watch about me?"

Gu Ji swallowed and avoided Li Yanan’s gaze.

This woman was entirely different in style from Chen Zhiyu, always direct and aggressive, a moment of carelessness could easily be overwhelming.

"Alright, let’s be serious."

Li Yanan lightly smiled, with a touch of rouge on her cheeks, "Don’t you already know, you’ve completely widened the gap from other special police at the same level, I came mainly to see if you have any special training methods."

"So it’s like that..."

Gu Ji pondered briefly, indeed.

It’s not that he’s arrogant, but since upgrading to the Blade Anti-Terror Special Operations Team framework, his theoretical knowledge and tactical system have indeed surpassed by more than one tier compared to regular special police.

After all, it is currently the only T1-level special forces in Xia Kingdom!

"How about this, when I return, if you’re still here, I can set aside some time to share my field experience with you."

"That’s a promise then!"

Li Yanan picked up the bottle, filled both their glasses, and motioned to Gu Ji with a finger.

Gu Ji leaned over.

With her long lashes, her watery eyes captivated him, as she exhaled lightly, her fragrance filled his senses, then Li Yanan whispered with a seductive pout, "You better not cheat me!"

"Of course, if I cheat you I’m a dog!"

Gu Ji instinctively swallowed, leaned back, and clinked glasses with Li Yanan, taking a sip.

Watching her down her drink in one go, he couldn’t help but lament internally:

Are all women from Qizhou capable of holding their liquor like this?

The next day.

Gu Ji was awakened by the vibrating alarm of his watch.

They drank until nearly dawn last night, with Gao Bo and the others passing out completely, so he and Zhao Hua carried them to a nearby hotel and took a cab home.

He casually ate a loaf of bread and headed to the hotel, just in time to see Gao Bo and the others checking out at the lobby downstairs.

Li Yanan also changed her outfit.

Perhaps for better training, she switched to a gray tight outfit and olive outdoor trousers.

"Morning! Did you rest well last night?"

"Pretty good!"

Just as Gu Ji finished greeting Li Yanan, Gao Bo leaned his heavy body on his shoulder, panting, "Whew! Did I overdo it last night, Gu Ji?"

"You’ve got a lot of nerve to say that, if it weren’t for Zhao Hua and me carrying each of you to the hotel step by step, would you have slept so soundly?"

"Heh heh heh, thanks!"

Zhou Yang laughed as he thanked them, and Liu Weijun scratched his head sheepishly.

After everyone checked out, they took a cab to the Dragon Tiger Assault Team.

Once at the office, Gu Ji took Li Yanan straight to the squad leader’s office, waiting for a reply before opening the door, "Mr. Zhang, this is the colleague I mentioned to you yesterday before boarding the flight, coming to observe and learn."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, Qizhou Special Police Brigade, Li Yanan."
