This week, Zhushi Jiu didn’t have any conflicts with anyone, nor did he reveal his discovery of Xu An’s identity. Therefore, Xu An couldn’t investigate Zhushi Jiu through his bank card, and they didn’t treat him with hostility and vigilance like they did the previous week.
The banquet had not ended when Zhushi Jiu followed the fake couple out of the banquet hall. They went straight back to their room – Xu An’s room.
As Zhushi Jiu sat down on the sofa, Xu An and Liu Jing exchanged a glance, then spoke, “From now on, our conversation cannot be leaked in any form, so can we check if you have any eavesdropping devices on you?”
Zhushi Jiu pretended to be unaware, looking shocked and laughing, “What do you mean? Why are you being so serious?”
Xu An and Liu Jing didn’t smile. Zhushi Jiu collected himself, not expecting Xu An and Liu Jing to be so bold. They didn’t pretend at all after entering the room, unlike their performance at the banquet.
He thought they would probe each other, but…
“Okay, let’s check.”
Zhushi Jiu nodded.
“How do we do it?”
If they were to search him, Zhushi Jiu wouldn’t pretend anymore. The two Black Soldiers would definitely find their equipment. It would be better to let the Black Soldiers take action and forcefully obtain the anti-Black Soldier suppressant from Xu An and the others.
Xu An shook his head, looking serious and slightly superior, “We have more advanced methods.”
As he spoke, the bedroom door opened, and Fan Jingxian and Yi Rou, the two girls Zhushi Jiu had seen before, walked out carrying computers.
“They have an online device.”
Fan Jingxian spoke calmly.
Zhushi Jiu was stunned.
He didn’t know how they checked, but… an online device? The number was wrong.
He wasn’t stunned because they found an online device, but because the number was too few.
Zhushi Jiu took out his phone, “Is this it?” Without waiting for Fan Jingxian’s response, he turned off his phone.
After a while, Fan Jingxian didn’t speak, just nodded and went back into the room, closing the bedroom door.
Zhushi Jiu: “……”
He acknowledged that he had underestimated these people’s desire to show off, and overestimated their technological level.
When they took out the anti-Black Soldier suppressant the previous week, he thought their technology was quite advanced, at least on par with the Black Troop Organization.
Now, after they found only one ordinary phone on him, they seemed so confident, he knew that the Black Troop Organization had far surpassed this mysterious organization in terms of technology.
He knew that the Black Soldiers had at least one phone to contact Xu Feng, and maybe other unknown communication methods.
The other side not only lacked basic vigilance but also didn’t have the corresponding technological capabilities, letting him off so easily. This made Zhushi Jiu, who had been dealing with Xu Feng for a long time, feel very uncomfortable.
Xu An thought that Zhushi Jiu’s stunned expression was because he was intimidated, so he smiled confidently.
They did it on purpose.
In fact, they could have done it in two steps: let Fan Jingxian and Yi Rou, the two hackers, investigate Zhushi Jiu’s identity through facial recognition in the room, and have Xu An and Liu Jing slowly reel him in.
But they didn’t do that, instead choosing to show off their strength from the beginning, taking the initiative in the conversation. In fact, they had never made a mistake with this approach.
“Sorry, we’re being cautious for a reason.”
Xu An and Liu Jing smiled apologetically at Zhushi Jiu.
Zhushi Jiu imagined how an ordinary person would feel in this situation, recalling his emotional state after regaining his emotions the previous week, and asked with a hint of tension, “Who are you people?”
“Let me introduce myself.”
Xu An took out an identity certificate from his pocket and unfolded it in front of Zhushi Jiu: “I’m the captain of Special Operations Team 11, National Secret Resource Protection Agency, Xu An.”
Liu Jing also took out her certificate: “National Secret Resource Protection Agency, Special Operations Team 11, Deputy Captain, Liu Jing.”
Zhushi Jiu acknowledged that his rapidly spinning thoughts had stalled.
“National Secret… Resource Protection Agency?”
He focused on the words “national” rather than “resource protection.”

He couldn’t believe that the other side was affiliated with the national government. Was this real or fake?
Xu An and Liu Jing seriously put away their certificates, “We’re being cautious because our conversation involves national-level secrets. The certificates we showed you are real, please prepare yourself psychologically, and we’ll start the conversation representing the nation.”
“First, we need to warn you. If you’re not willing to continue the conversation, please leave now, and we’ll consider it as if we never invited you.”
“If you’re willing, we’ll show you some information and confirm whether you want to know more.”
“If you finally decide to continue, our conversation today will be extremely confidential, and once you know, you cannot withdraw. If you choose to withdraw, we’ll take measures including but not limited to secret imprisonment, 24-hour surveillance, and elimination, to ensure the information doesn’t leak.”
“Secondly, our conversation may subvert your worldview. We showed you our certificates to demonstrate the seriousness of our conversation, so please maintain an objective and calm attitude when facing the facts we present.”
“Thirdly…”
Xu An slowly and clearly explained a lot, his words smooth and uninterrupted, making Zhushi Jiu understand that they often used this method to recruit talents.
It wasn’t that they lacked vigilance, but that the Black Troop Organization was too strong, making them seem incompetent in comparison.
If Xu An and the others were truly representing the nation, and Zhushi Jiu was really a person who knew nothing, he would probably be intimidated by Xu An’s confident demeanor. Objectively, Xu An’s performance was very convincing, both in terms of micro-expressions and actions.
As Zhushi Jiu thought, Xu An’s speech had come to an end.
“Now, we need to confirm whether you’re willing to continue the conversation.”
Zhushi Jiu thought for a moment: “If I choose to leave now, what will you do to me?”
Xu An’s serious face cracked a warm smile: “As I said, if you choose to leave, our conversation will be as if it never happened. We’ll just part ways.”
—This was a lie.
If Zhushi Jiu chose to leave now, they would directly take action against him, capturing or even killing him.
The other side only had two former soldiers as bodyguards, while they were elite warriors with extraordinary combat capabilities. It could be said that Zhushi Jiu was trapped from the moment he stepped into the room.
The previous conversation was just to relax Zhushi Jiu’s guard, making him think they were kind-hearted.
Zhushi Jiu smiled: “Okay, I believe you. I think it’s unlikely that someone would impersonate a national agent to swindle me in front of me. Besides, I don’t have any money on me, so you can’t swindle me even if you want to.”
Easy does it.
It looks like young people these days lack vigilance, can’t grasp the situation, and are easily deceived. No wonder the national anti-fraud propaganda is so strong.
Xu An shook his head and smiled: “We’re not swindling. It’s normal for people to be cautious around strangers. If you want to check our certificates, you can. I dare guarantee that our identities are real.”
“No need to check.”
Zhushi Jiu waved his hand.
Their real names matched the ones they said last week, indicating that they didn’t have high vigilance against Zhushi Jiu and had a certain level of trust in him.
Whether their identities were real or fake wasn’t important; what mattered was that they were willing to show trust in him.
“So, our conversation begins.”
Xu An’s smile disappeared, and the atmosphere in the room became very serious.

“I’ll ask you a question: Do you think the world is in a peaceful state?”
“Hmm?” Zhushi Jiu looked puzzled. “Most countries are in a peaceful state, except for the US, which is always finding excuses to bully small countries. I haven’t heard of any severe wars.”
“That’s a normal person’s thought.”
Xu An nodded, then continued, “The world is actually not as peaceful as you think. Humans are facing a unprecedented crisis!”
Zhushi Jiu looked surprised but didn’t say anything, indicating for Xu An to continue.
“Our Resource Protection Agency doesn’t protect natural resources, but human resources! In other words, we’re a savior organization.”
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, but alien creatures have already infiltrated the Earth and are trying to destroy global stability. They’re massacring humans and using them as food, secretly wreaking havoc in places where ordinary people can’t see.”
“The peaceful illusion you see is created by our Resource Protection Agency and other forces!”
Zhushi Jiu was speechless.
The Black Troop Organization was categorized as “other forces.”
To be honest, the last sentence was correct, but the question was, shouldn’t the Black Troop Organization take the lead?
