Su Ran felt a chill when Li Ziyu treated her like this.
The other party still looked down on her from the bottom of his heart, barking orders and treating her dismissively.
He would call her when he needed her, and wave her away when he didn't.
It was so late, and he didn't even consider inviting her to dinner.
Su Ran only thought this in her mind, but she wouldn't say it out loud.
"Second Brother, where are you?" Li Ziyu made a phone call.
"Little Fourth, what is it? I'm still out. Speak."
"My friends say they know someone with abilities.
He can see through raw jade and know if there's jade inside.
I think your Fourteenth Bureau could use someone like that."
"Is what you're saying credible?"
"It should be credible. This person's name is Guo Xuyang. You can send someone to check."
"Alright. I've got it. If you have any news about him in the future, feel free to call me anytime."
"Okay, Second Brother. Goodbye." Li Ziyu hung up the phone with a sinister grin.
You think you're so capable? Let people from the Fourteenth Bureau play with you.
The Fourteenth Bureau, as a special agency responsible for handling supernatural events and managing people with abilities, had immense power.
The Second Brother Li Ziyu contacted was his biological second brother, Li Ziqi, who was specifically in charge of people with abilities in the Fourteenth Bureau.
He was the head of a team.
"Liang Zi, have you been comfortable staying out all these years?"
Lü Liang was chatting with a few people when he received a call.
"Boss. Why are you calling me?"
"Suddenly I missed you. Just calling to check in."
"If you have something to say, just say it directly?"
"I just received a message that there's a kid named Guo Xuyang in the capital who has abilities. Have you heard about this?"
"Who told you that? You know I've been running around outside. You know that. I haven't heard about it."
"You should know I wouldn't call you for no reason. I heard you were close to that kid named Guo Xuyang."
"Yes. He's a brother to the boss, and a brother to me.
But I've never heard him mention anything about abilities.
Nor have I heard others talk about it.
He's just an ordinary big boy."
"Liang Zi, you know I hate it when people lie to me."
"Boss, where did that come from? How could I lie to you? How about you call the boss and ask him yourself?"
"Why would the boss recognize him as a brother?"
"Last time the boss was set up in Shanghai, it was Guo Xuyang who found the boss and sent him to the hospital in time. Otherwise, it's debatable whether the boss could still answer your call."
"Is that so. Alright, I know. If Guo Xuyang does anything unusual, contact me immediately. You know our discipline."
"Summoned, I return. I know, Boss."
"Alright, that's all."
Lü Liang hung up the phone and saw a few people looking at him.
"What's going on?" Guo Xuyang asked.
He heard Lü Liang mention his name.
"It's nothing. I'll talk to you privately when we get back. How about it? Has everyone eaten? If you're done, let's go back."
Seeing him say that, everyone knew he had something to discuss with Guo Xuyang privately.
They all got up, ready to leave.
"Ilena, drive Boss Pi's car back with Yang Zi and me. Boss Pi, you two should get a designated driver. I see Xiao Xi has also had quite a bit to drink." Lü Liang said.
"It's fine. You guys go ahead. Xiao Xi and I will figure out how to get back. Drive carefully on the road."
"No problem. We'll drive directly to your shop tomorrow." Lü Liang said, and then had Ilena drive away. "Head out. Out of the city."
As someone who served in the special forces, he was well aware that his every move could be monitored.
More than an hour later, under Lü Liang's command, Ilena arrived at a mountain outside the city.
"Okay, park here. You wait in the car. Yang Zi, get out."
Guo Xuyang followed Lü Liang out of the car.
"Take out your phone and all electronic devices and put them in the car. Then follow me."
Lü Liang said, turning and walking away.
Guo Xuyang put his phone, watch, and other items back in the car, then caught up with Lü Liang.
"Yang Zi, I have a few questions for you now. Please tell me the truth.
I asked Ilena to drive out of the city just now to prevent eavesdropping."
Lü Liang said, lighting a cigarette.
"I just received a call from someone in the Fourteenth Bureau.
The Fourteenth Bureau is specifically responsible for various supernatural events that occur domestically and manages all people with abilities in the country.
They asked me if I knew you had abilities.
You should have also heard my answer just now.
Now, please tell me, do you have abilities?"
Guo Xuyang didn't expect to be targeted so quickly.
He thought he had been careful, yet traces of him were found and reported to the higher-ups.
He wasn't ready to be a lab rat yet.
He didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Brother, you don't need to have any worries.
Please tell me the truth.
Let me tell you, I used to be part of the Fourteenth Bureau.
Although telling you this violates discipline, I believe you won't report me."
"What does it matter if I have abilities?"
"If you have abilities, you will need to be registered and managed by the Fourteenth Bureau.
And you are not allowed to use your abilities freely in the secular world.
Another thing is that you need to cooperate with the Fourteenth Bureau to complete some tasks.
Of course, these are all based on the premise that you have abilities.
If you don't have abilities, consider this as if I never said anything."
"Why must people with abilities be managed by the Fourteenth Bureau?"
"People with abilities have capabilities beyond ordinary people, which might cause certain harm or chaos to society.
For example, invisibility abilities could be used for theft or tracking important individuals for assassination missions, which would harm society or the country.
For example, clairvoyance abilities might allow someone to see things others cannot, thereby seeking special interests and causing social instability.
Of course, there are other special abilities, I won't list them all.
So please tell me the truth. And please believe me, it will do you no harm."
"Is President Jiang also from the Fourteenth Bureau?"
"The boss was a high-ranking official in the Fourteenth Bureau, but he withdrew for some special reasons later."
"Is Xiao Yu also from the Fourteenth Bureau?"
"Yes. But he has already transferred out."
"What about Li Minyu?"
"Li Minyu?"
"Li Minxi's sister."
"Her, yes. But only peripheral."
"Do all these people have abilities?"
"No. They belong to the special forces and handle some emergency tasks.
Not all people in the Fourteenth Bureau have abilities; they are only responsible for managing people with abilities.
They provide certain supervision to people with abilities to prevent them from doing things that harm society and the country.
They normally do not pose a threat to people with abilities.
Of course, if they encounter some difficult problems, the Fourteenth Bureau will also invite these people with abilities to help."
