The Secret to Picking Up Girls

The atmosphere was tense, like a drawn sword or a fully loaded crossbow.

Lian Sheng glanced at the National Security Bureau agents surrounding him with guns pointed at him. He chuckled, adjusted his military cap, and seemed completely unfazed. Gao Zhen shook his head, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said, "Me? I don't have any particular agenda. It's just that my old chief wants to see him. I'm just responsible for leading the way. You know how our unit's old chief is – his temper is strange. He's usually busy and doesn't have time for guests, but when the thought strikes him, he wants to see someone immediately, and they're not allowed to refuse. As his subordinate, I have no choice but to comply."

Then, looking at the National Security personnel pointing guns at him, his eyes narrowed. He nodded, pointed a finger at Lian Sheng a few times, and said disdainfully, "Since you want to use guns with me, I'll play along."

With that, Gao Zhen waved his hand, and dozens of soldiers in green military uniforms, armed with Type 95 assault rifles, rushed in from outside, surrounding Lian Sheng's men. The dark muzzles of the guns exuded a chilling aura.

The atmosphere instantly became incredibly tense.

Lian Sheng's expression turned very ugly, but at the same time, he felt helpless. If it were another department, he might have found a way to deal with them, but the military was the one area where the National Security Bureau had no leverage. The National Security Bureau was directly under the State Council, but it was not part of the same system as the military. Therefore, even the National Security Bureau couldn't touch the military. However, as the head of the Southern Fujian branch, Lian Sheng couldn't swallow this insult. He stared directly at Gao Zhen and said, "Aren't you afraid your superiors will punish you for doing this? Do you have any organizational discipline? Do you have any Party principles?"

Gao Zhen narrowed his eyes, looked at Lian Sheng, and said with a mocking smile, "Are you really pretending not to understand? Don't you know that a soldier's duty is to obey orders? What's wrong with me following my leader's instructions? If you have a problem, go talk to my boss. I'm just following orders. Even if the sky falls, it's none of my business!"

Gao Zhen's words were truly sharp, leaving Lian Sheng speechless. However, he couldn't just let the other party leave like that, as it would be a major blow to his authority.

After all, this was inside the National Security Bureau. Soon, a large number of National Security personnel rushed over from all directions with guns, surrounding Gao Zhen and his men again, layer upon layer.

Zhang Yuze now felt like a mere spectator. He couldn't intervene in any of this. However, this scene was something he usually only saw in war movies. He never thought that in this peaceful era, he would actually get to witness such a scene, and as a participant no less.

Ling Wei stood aside, never uttering a word. At this moment, she looked at Zhang Yuze, who was surrounded, with an extremely complex gaze. Especially when she saw the inexplicable smile on Zhang Yuze's face, Ling Wei felt a surge of anger. She never thought that Zhang Yuze was actually so popular, as if he could always turn danger into safety wherever he went. Now, Ling Wei was becoming curious about Zhang Yuze's background. She didn't know where Zhang Yuze had met these military figures. These military figures were not people you could just meet casually, and to have them make such a big fuss for him, it would be difficult to achieve without solid connections.
