The content of the message was simple:
"Come to my office. Alone."
Chu Kuanglan and Wei Banmeng's gazes immediately focused over, carrying a hint of inquiry.
Fang Qingyu put away his phone, his expression calm as he met their eyes: "You all go back first and put the stuff away. I have something to attend to at Vice Minister Jiang's place."
Wei Banmeng's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, but he nodded without any hesitation: "Alright. Contact us anytime if there's anything."
Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan also nodded to indicate they understood.
Jiang Weiqing's clear red pupils glanced at Fang Qingyu and softly uttered an "Mm."
Watching his teammates merge into the stream of people outside the door carrying boxes, Fang Qingyu turned around, not heading towards the exit but instead walking deeper into the Abyss Hunting Headquarters, towards the core area that required special permissions to enter.
The familiar silent black-uniformed officer appeared again.
