Chapter 98 Escalation
The discussion stalled after about ten minutes.
Everyone fell silent without prior arrangement.
No one spoke, mainly because no one knew what to say.
The main reason for this meeting was actually the data report provided by Lao Tan.
But actually?
This report's data has been included in any previous internal meeting.
All of this is enough to put the entire investigation department on high alert.
But at this moment,
Everyone sitting around the conference table knew something else!
Even if they raise the alert level to the maximum, they still won't have enough cards to play.
Sorry, but our opponent is cultivating immortality!
How ridiculous it is for a group of ants to gather together and discuss how to kill a human being that is so large.
In this situation, let alone getting you to settle down and continue writing the report, it's impossible.
Everyone was thinking about the future changes in the landscape.
Perhaps the federation will soon become a thing of the past?
Perhaps in the future, everyone might serve under a certain cultivator or powerful being.
These are all unknown.
"I have a question!"
Zhao Qiming suddenly spoke up to break the silence, mainly because he also felt that the meeting was pointless to continue and he might as well find a way to end it quickly.
This startled a young technician who was dozing in the corner.
"Everything we're discussing here, whether it's the golden figure or the real Taoist priest..."
These items cannot be found in any existing official federal documents!
"Since there's no classification, we have no jurisdiction; without jurisdiction, we naturally have no resources."
Without resources, we're just a bunch of weirdos holed up in the hydrological station, talking nonsense to ourselves!
No one refuted this statement, because everyone knew it was the truth.
"Director Zhou, what was the reaction from your superiors after you submitted this data?!"
"I submitted it. I submitted a preliminary report as soon as the Zhaoling operation was over!"
This new data, including the one from early this morning, was also uploaded to the encrypted channel, but the response was…”
Zhou Ling carefully considered her words. "The reply was that we should continue monitoring and wait for further instructions."
Zhao Qiming chuckled and remained silent.
The atmosphere in the meeting room seemed somewhat strained.
A young technician, perhaps a bit too eager to advance, opened his mouth.
I wanted to say something to ease the tension.
But at this time,
In the corridor outside the conference room,
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps could be heard.
Logically speaking, no one in this city is qualified enough.
They can make loud noises without restraint outside the corridor of this conference room.
Zhou Ling frowned, intending to go out and take a look, and teach these reckless comrades a lesson.
however,
Doorway,
A middle-aged man dressed in dark gray, clearly in official military uniform, walked in.
This man was not tall, but he appeared quite wiry.
His shoulders were as broad as a door panel, and his hair was shaved extremely short.
This person exuded an imposing aura, giving everyone the feeling that they didn't want to stand up and ask who he was.
It's an aura that radiates from within, giving people the immediate impression that this person must be a high-ranking leader!
The unnamed high-ranking official glanced around the conference room.
It appears they are taking a headcount.
Behind him were two young men, also dressed in official uniforms.
One person was carrying a briefcase, while the other held a sealed document bag.
Everyone present knew perfectly well that someone had been sent down from above.
Just moments before, those who had been secretly daydreaming straightened their backs.
"Minister Qi Ming?"
Zhao Qiming muttered something to himself, but didn't make a sound.
But he was shocked and his eyes widened.
I had some connection with this Minister Qi in the past.
They used to be his soldiers.
Logically speaking, his current position is quite high, so why is he here?
Without further ado, Zhao Qiming instantly understood that the level of this operation had suddenly become extremely high.
Qi Ming's gaze lingered on his face for a moment.
She nodded slightly as a greeting.
then,
He walked straight to the front of the conference table and stood next to Zhou Ling.
Although Zhou Ling is still the top leader on the surface, the aura he exudes already makes him the second-in-command.
Of course, this is also largely due to the fact that he had always been Professor Sun's second-in-command.
"thing."
The young officer handed over the document bag.
Remove the seal and take out a document, placing it on the conference table.
Zhou Ling couldn't help but glance at it and swallow hard.
Seeing the words above was both surprising and somewhat expected.
The document's header bears the seal of the highest federal administrative center!
The signature section was filled with several lines of names.
Each name was followed by a number that Zhou Ling had never seen in internal documents before.
"Section Chief Zhou, we've already seen your report."
The previous lack of follow-up was due to the ongoing procedures, but those procedures are now complete!
Qi Ming's voice is very powerful and resonant; it's the kind that's full of energy.
It sounds powerful and inspiring.
"This document was just issued this morning, appointing me as the first director of the Federal Joint Research Center for Anomalous Phenomena, and Zhou Ling as the deputy director..."
Everyone present listened to it once.
They couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
In just a few minutes, the entire department's status was significantly elevated.
You could even say everyone got promoted!
Zhao Qiming found it even more unbelievable; he was already in his mid-thirties.
The position that I would have dared to dream of only after retirement was achieved with just a word from this old leader.
"The organization will be directly under the highest federal level and will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Interior or any local department."
Of course, the previous situation will not occur again, and there will be no restrictions from the local public security bureau and cultural relics bureau!
"Just ask me for any resources you need, and I'll coordinate everything."
Qi Ming took another document out of his briefcase and handed it to Zhou Ling.
"This is the joint authorization from the Federation. The two special reconnaissance battalions of the Eastern Theater Command are now under the command of the central command!"
Good heavens, they can mobilize a whole reconnaissance squadron right now!
After Qi Ming finished making the announcement,
Zhao Qiming moved closer to the chair, his lips moving slightly.
He managed to stammer out a short sentence: "You came in person, is there some other reason?"
"You're still pretty smart, kid! Now that the center is established, let's put the investigation into the identity of the golden figure on hold for a while."
The key is to first understand what changes this so-called Reiki revival event has caused in society!
"Starting today, Yangcheng City will be under 24/7 surveillance. Two special reconnaissance companies will be responsible for perimeter blockade and mobile response!"
