Gu Zichen felt a slight tremor in his heart.
He was merely an operative at the base, and receiving attention made him feel a suppressed sense of excitement from being recognized.
"I have been waiting for you to return here, and you did not disappoint me," the man said with admiration on his face.
Gu Zichen lowered his head slightly, full of respect. "Thank you for your praise."
"Gu Zichen, I won't beat around the bush. I want you to stay," the man said. "But I heard that after this mission, you have chosen to leave, along with your entire team."
"Yes."
"I plan to entrust this intelligence bureau to you," the man promised. "It would be equivalent to the position held by Ai Zirong at the National Intelligence Bureau where you previously served."
Ai Zirong, the father of Ai Qing.
The highest-ranking leader of the intelligence bureau.
The intelligence bureau is directly governed by the central authority and responds to instructions from no more than five people in Z Country.
