The next morning early.

    By the time Zhou Yan called in sick, the nurse manager had already generously granted her a full morning off.

    "Don't worry, Xiao Zhou. Don't be afraid of that special affairs administration agency. Our mental hospital isn't just handed out! If anything really happens, you should run back right away!"

    The nurse manager's tone was filled with disdain for the Special Affairs Administration Bureau.

    Mysteriously, it gave Zhou Yan an immense courage.

    Exactly, our own mental hospital is the place that can shelter the prince of hell. It must have big secrets.

    And Lu Jiannian even sent his own sister here. Just with that relationship alone, she didn't believe that Lu Jiannian would dare to lay a hand on her casually!

    Calm down, calm down.

    Zhou Yan's mood immediately improved by several times.

    After enjoying a delicious breakfast, she took a light step, drove the ghost car, and went to the location listed on Lu Jiannian's business card.

    ...

    at the same time.

    Within the Special Affairs Administration Bureau.

    "Lu, at that time, you can't scare the little girl anymore."

    "Our bureau's reputation has been getting worse and worse these years, making it difficult for us to recruit new people."

    "If we manage to scare this little girl to tears again, then our bureau's reputation will be utterly ruined."

    "So, Lu Lao, in order to let our guys have a bit of rest, please kindly stop showing off your supernatural powers. We beg you!"

    The colleague who accompanied Lu Jiannian to the mental hospital yesterday was a young man named Pang Long, who had a desperate look on his face and circled around Lu Jiannian's side, clasping his hands together and continuously praying.

    "If she hasn't done anything wrong, why would I scare her? What are you trying to say? Don't tell me you're interested in her!"

    Lu Jiannian pushed Pang Long impatiently and then looked at him with a critical expression.

    He and Pang Long were childhood friends, so Pang Long often made fun of him without respect, even jokingly saying that he would marry Lu Nanwei, Lu Jiannian's sister.

    However, the current appearance of Pang Long forced Lu Jiannian to doubt his true intentions.

    This is the first time in years that Lu Jiannian has seen Pang Long show interest in another girl.

    It's too strange.

    "No way, I'm here to be your brother-in-law!"

    Pang Long proudly raised his head, as if he had said something earth-shattering.

    In return, he got a roll of his eyes from Lu Jiannian.

    "But Old Lu, seriously, this little girl is the first nurse to come from the mental hospital to us in all these years."

    "You've always been curious about the purpose of mental hospitals. This little girl can be our breakthrough."

    Pang Long suddenly changed his expression and spoke seriously, even handing over the materials about Zhou Yan.

    The document clearly detailed Zhou Yan's experiences over the past twenty years.

    The document also highlighted the process of Zhou Yan's employment at the mental hospital.

    If Zhou Yan saw this document, she might suspect that someone has been monitoring her.

    Lu Jiannian glanced at the document for a while, then looked up and gave Pang Long a long, deep look.

    Beneath his carefree appearance, there was a heart as delicate as a woman's.

    Lu Jiannian himself only wanted to chastise Zhou Yan, a newly awakened one, but by the time he reached Pang Long, he had already made Zhou Yan the main focus of their next task.

    If it turns out as Pang Long expects, then Zhou Yan's importance is indeed far greater than Lu Jiannian had imagined.

    ...

    On the other side.

    In the underground monitoring room of the Mental Hospital in Zhongyuan City.

    "Director, why did you want Zhou Yan to go to the Special Affairs Administration Bureau?"

    "You should know that they have harbored hostility towards us for years. If they use some kind of mental control technique at that time, then..."

    The nurse manager didn't finish her sentence, looking as though she wanted to say more but was holding back.

    "It doesn't matter, you think it's just the Special Affairs Administration Bureau of Zhongyuan City targeting us? No, your scope is too small. Now it's the entire country against us."

    "You have to know that no country can allow the emergence of an uncontrollable force within its territory, especially one that has existed in a certain place for hundreds of years!"

    "The appearance of Lu Jiannian as the new director is a bellwether; there's a lot of stuff we'll have to deal with next."

    "It's better to proactively give them a weakness rather than always worrying about their tactics."

    "And I'm also very curious about Zhou Yan's awakening ability. I've been waiting for her to give me a big surprise!"

    The director smiled with a knowing look on his face.

    "Oh! You're planning to make Zhou Yan a spy!"

    The nurse manager suddenly understood.

    The director merely gave her a cold glance and said no more.

    It's only because the nurse manager is loyal and has served with me for hundreds of years without making any major mistakes that the director even considered replacing her.

    Sometimes, such a one-track-minded subordinate can be quite exasperating.

    ...

    Under the expectations of both the Mental Hospital in Zhongyuan City and the Special Affairs Administration Bureau of Zhongyuan City.

    Zhou Yan stepped up the stairs of the Special Affairs Administration Bureau, with her head held high and her chest puffed out, walking confidently into the hall.

    "Ah, Nurse Zhou has arrived, come on in! Hey, who's going to bring Nurse Zhou a cup of coffee?"

    During her journey, Zhou Yan had already made various mental plans, even preparing for a table-turning scene of chaos. However, one enthusiastic greeting from Pang Long quickly broke down Zhou Yan's defenses and rendered her efforts useless.

    Wait, what's going on.

    Is this really the Special Affairs Administration Bureau?

    Why does this person give her the feeling of an ancient welcoming turtle boy?

    Looking at the man in front of her, who was full of rosy cheeks, had a pair of phoenix eyes that raised upwards, and had a smile on his lips. Zhou Yan subconsciously shivered.

    Offering kindness without a reason is either deceit or theft.

    This is the conclusion Zhou Yan has drawn from two lifetimes of experience.

    Strangers are all around, and suddenly a sunny and cheerful guy comes up to greet without reason.

    It's either for your kidneys or your wallet!

    Absolutely be cautious!

    "I said not to go off on a tangent, look, who's now scaring the little girl?"

    As Zhou Yan and Pang Long stood there, at a loss for words, Lu Jiannian walked out of the office inside, shaking his head in sighs, and leisurely made his way towards them.

    Lu Jiannian and Pang Long, as professional government officials, had naturally undergone a series of special training.

    So, with just one glance, both Lu Jiannian and Pang Long had figured out what was on Zhou Yan's mind.

    The little girl is clearly in a defensive state right now.

    It's obvious whom she's defending!

    Notice Lu Jiannian's disdainful gaze, Pang Long immediately put on a pitiful look, raised his phoenix eyes, and instantly gushed out a sad feeling.

    "Nurse Zhou, that's not right of you. I'm so warm and lively, how can you be on guard against me? This is official business! I'm a law-abiding citizen!"

    Pang Long stepped forward, bringing his face close to Zhou Yan's, as if he was about to kiss her.
