Chapter 481: Signing the Official Contract

Her lips trembled slightly, as if not knowing what to say.

Lu Ziyang watched her reaction as something akin to surprise flashed under his eyes.

But he didn’t let Gu Qingjiu see it.

“Really?”

An indifferent question and Lu Ziyang revealed an amused expression. “Looks like even you are not fully clear about the potential you hold. Of course, I shouldn’t tell you this much now but let me officially introduce you to the kind of existence the Ninth Department is.”

As he finally got to the main point, Gu Qingjiu frowned lightly.

“The Ninth Department is entirely a secret. Even if there were other country-level departments, except for the highest-ranking officials, no one else has the clearance to know about its existence.”

Except for the highest-ranking officials, no one else had the authorization to know.

Gu Qingjiu’s heart shuddered.

The Ninth Department, was it such a powerful existence?

“We’ve searched through China and gathered the most talented people – computer scientists, business people, and strongest soldiers, including some people with special talents. And you? Probably a sharpshooting genius.”

Lu Ziyang paused. “Of course, the boss recruited you. Even I am unsure of his thoughts.”

“Who is your boss? If it’s a top-secret department, then why does a boss even exist?”

A boss meant that there was a superior, but to call this person ‘boss’ in this kind of department was a bit strange.

“The boss is the boss. Gu Qingjiu, that’s all I can tell you truthfully. You don’t have the authority to know who the boss is.”

“You even have to forget that you’ve already joined the Ninth Department. Of course, that means that you have to forget on the surface. I believe that you are not the kind of person to flaunt.”

Lu Ziyang’s words were a warning.

Gu Qingjiu frowned. “I know that.”

Even if she hadn’t tasted pork, she had seen it run. Gu Qingjiu had watched dramas similar to this before.

She just didn’t expect for the procedures to be the same as that of a drama.

However, the only doubt Gu Qingjiu still had was the reason they recruited her.

Did they recruit her because of her talent in sharpshooting?

Normally, she wouldn’t suspect anything but based on Lu Ziyang’s words, she felt… strangely uncomfortable.

The feeling was something indescribable.

“Entering the Ninth Department will bring you many benefits that you won’t expect. We will arrange for your ident.i.ty and our members may know you, but they would not entice trouble. I believe that you will do the same for them. Beyond these walls, you have to forget the people who you know from the Ninth Department.

“Unless I take the initiative to tell you, you currently don’t have the clearance to receive any news related to the Ninth Department.

“If you understood my words, you can sign on this agreement.

“This doc.u.ment will be kept top secret and placed at a secured place. It is also legally bounded. Of course, the legal courts at our level means a completely different thing. You might not last until then. However, at the most critical juncture, this doc.u.ment will be your trump card.”

Lu Ziyang’s lips curled into a meaningful smile. Gu Qingjiu however, did not frown a single bit.

She took the doc.u.ment and skimmed through its contents. It was a simple confidentiality agreement.

It had two copies – one to be left with the department while the other would be kept with Gu Qingjiu.
