Of course, Gu Qingjiu knew what the word colleague meant.
But since when did she become colleagues with this man?
The man with a gun at his waist also cast a deep and probing gaze at Gu Qingjiu, before nodding. “Nice to meet you.”
“Haha.”
The man with a stubble laughed ambiguously and waved a hand at Gu Qingjiu. “Come on, come in with me.”
Gu Qingjiu followed him into the small house ahead without any hesitation.
It was like an ordinary house, and entering through the door, one found themselves in a hall that was slightly old and shabby.
But judging by this person before her and that man standing guard outside, this place wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Indeed, when he pulled away some rather old-looking curtains, a bedroom that used to be occupied by a girl appeared before Gu Qingjiu’s eyes.
The wooden bed next to the door was of the nineties style, with a white mosquito net over it, and on the bed, there were two rabbit plushies.
If this place was to be used as a disguise, it was a flawless one, apart from that man standing at the door.
Then, Gu Qingjiu saw that person go to the bedside table, where there was strangely a vacant spot.
The man merely reached out his hand and rapped a few times on the wall and a brick-sized hole instantly appeared in the dust-covered old wall. Immediately after, a password device was sent out.
The man entered the password and pressed his thumbprint on the device, and the wall before him suddenly opened with a swoosh sound.
What appeared before Gu Qingjiu was a futuristic corridor that one might see in a science fiction movie.
There were clear and bright lights shining above.
This formed a stark contrast with that worn-down girl’s bedroom.
Gu Qingjiu stared as she watched this scene unfold before her with her mouth agape.
Was this some sort of legendary secret base?
The man turned his head and upon seeing Gu Qingjiu’s shocked expression, he said with a faint smile, “Is it like what you see in the TV drama series? Who asked our Boss to be a lonely old man who likes to watch television?”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
“Is that thing hidden behind your base? As in, is that where Lu Ziyang specified for me to go?”
Gu Qingjiu instantly understood.
The man nodded and walked towards that corridor behind the wall without even turning his head “Of course, we’re a special department. Of course, we have to stay hidden in a place that others wouldn’t discover.”
Department?
This was Gu Qingjiu’s umpteenth time hearing this word.
What exactly do they do?
Could it be their country’s special department?
But they resembled an organization more.
She followed him in, and after entering a corridor, the walls behind her instantly shut.
She believed that behind the door, it was still that ordinary bedroom.
Who would have thought that there would be such a place hidden in an alleyway in the capital?
After following the man through many turns, and walking through many similar-looking corridors that made one giddy, Gu Qingjiu finally arrived at a slightly more normal place.
An ordinary conference room appeared before her eyes.
That mysterious man who called Gu Qingjiu to come to this place, Lu Ziyang, was seated and checking some information.
At the sight of Gu Qingjiu, he immediately got to his feet and revealed that same approachable smile he did previously and extended a hand to her.
“Gu Qingjiu classmate, welcome to Ninth Department.”
