The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 614 What a thick skin! (2 updates)
"Director Gu, do you mean we're also responsible for after-sales service?"

Gu Yuan: ...

What the hell is this after-sales service?!

"Just investigate when I tell you to, stop talking nonsense!"

The subordinate glanced subconsciously at the group of people huddled together, estimating there to be thirty or forty people, including a dozen or so children.

A thorough investigation of all these people would be a huge undertaking, but the local police station simply cannot do that.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

After hanging up the phone, the subordinate who took over the reins from Gu Yuan showed none of the unease he had displayed in front of Gu Yuan before.

Having been by Gu Yuan's side for so long, his aura was naturally not weak.

He waved to the others who were busy at work; they were all people stationed at nearby action points and did not know Gu Yuan personally.

At this moment, no one doubted his identity. As soon as he started giving orders, people immediately gathered around.

"Director Gu, what are your orders?"

"You personally escort these people to the local police station. Also, submit all their relevant identification information; I need to report this to headquarters!"

The local special administration officials were puzzled. Weren't these people ordinary people who had been abducted? Why was their identity information so important that it needed to be reported?

But no matter how many doubts he had, it didn't stop him from firmly replying, "Yes."

With things temporarily settled here, the subordinate finally had time to feel sorry for the expensive suit he had ordered.

As he turned around, he didn't notice at all that among the trapped crowd, there was a young woman staring intently at his back.

But soon, she frowned again. For some reason, the person she had her eye on always seemed like a useless piece of meat.

After Gu Yuan reported what had happened on the border, he went upstairs.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, several helicopters landed, and the people who got off were all Xie Xuzhi's trusted followers.

These people naturally knew Gu Yuan, and were quite familiar with him.

Seeing Gu Yuan standing behind them like a lowly henchman, they were all shocked, yet remained expressionless.

But his eyes were already brimming with excitement.

[Good heavens, what is Director Gu doing? Is he playing some new role-playing game?]

I really envy Lu Zhen; he actually managed to snag a temporary section chief position.

Hey everyone, be careful not to let anyone else notice, or we'll be locked up!

……

Gu Yuan naturally noticed the looks in these people's eyes, but he was too lazy to look at them. They were all just looking for trouble!

The local special administration officials thought they were already very powerful.

But when they saw the elites transferred from the General Administration, an unprecedented sense of inferiority arose spontaneously.

When Director Gu came here to transfer people before, they were all very excited, feeling that the opportunity to make a contribution was right in front of them.

But after only taking down a group of human traffickers last night, they felt a slight sense of disappointment.

Does the presence of this group of elites here mean that the higher-ups are not satisfied with their performance?
The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves, wondering if their hopes for advancement were about to be dashed.
Just as the people from the local Special Administration Bureau were having all sorts of wild ideas, these people who had been specially transferred over took out the documents and handed them over.

Some things can be done, but cannot be said openly; the proper procedures must be followed.

“We have a classified operation that requires us to operate temporarily on this border. This is a special document approved by higher-ups.” When the local Special Administration Bureau personnel saw that it was specially approved by Director Xie and that he wasn’t there to ‘steal credit,’ they didn’t dare to have any objections.

He immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, yes. If there's anything we can do for you, just let us know, and we'll definitely cooperate."

The leader nodded: "That will be troublesome."

After saying this, the man turned his gaze to Lu Zhen, the fake Director Gu who was acting on behalf of Gu Yuan.

"Director Gu, I wonder if I could speak with you privately?"

Lu Zhen: ...

Don't think he didn't notice the sarcastic tone in that voice; he mentally made a sarcastic remark.

Lu Zhen then nodded slightly: "Okay!"

The remaining people, some with the intention of making friends and others with the intention of spying, began to have friendly and cordial exchanges.

Gu Yuan found an opportunity and slipped into the conference room.

The man sat there, leisurely sipping his tea, clearly waiting for someone, while Lu Zhen quietly served as a background figure.

Upon seeing Gu Yuan enter, Lu Zhen immediately stood behind Gu Yuan.

"Oh, you've arrived. I never expected that our arrogant Director Gu would be so willing to compromise."

Gu Yuan plopped down on his seat, glancing sideways at the person opposite him who was laughing in a ridiculous manner.

He rolled his eyes at her and said, "Shang Yunnian, I think you're asking for a beating!"

"What, you've done something I can't help but laugh at?"

Both men were Xie Xuzhi's confidants, had known each other for over twenty years, were sworn brothers, were close friends who exposed each other's shortcomings, and were also rivals.

Gu Yuan, not wanting to waste words, looked at Lu Zhen and said, "Give him the information!"

As Gu Yuan's subordinate, Lu Zhen was naturally on Gu Yuan's side. Even though the Minister of Commerce on the other side was of a much higher rank than him, he was still not intimidated.

After firmly recounting everything they had discovered and their suspicions, Lu Zhen retreated back behind Gu Yuan.

Shang Yunnian glanced at Lu Zhen, then at Gu Yuan, and almost laughed out of anger: "So, how can you be so self-righteous as to ask me to clean up your mess without feeling ashamed at all?"

This can be considered a dark history? Gu Yuan and his 'lackeys' have such thick skin!
Gu Yuan crossed his legs, adopting an attitude of "I'm shameless, what can you do about it?"

"It's as if you don't take a salary, bonuses, or resources, and you're just helping me for free!"

Have you forgotten that when your underwear was pulled down, it was someone who took off their coat to preserve your last shred of dignity...?

Before Gu Yuan could finish speaking, he saw Shang Yunnian across from him, his face flushed with anger, and he picked up a teacup and threw it at Gu Yuan.

"How dare you say that! Who was it that shamelessly tricked a 5-year-old into stealing fish from someone else's fishpond?!"

It looked like a section chief and a minister were about to fight because of their past scandals.

The men under both men stopped being bystanders and rushed out to break up the fight.

Finally, Gu Yuan had a dark circle under his left eye, while Shang Yunnian was covering his nose, which was bleeding.

Both sides' subordinates thought they were going to kill each other with their eyes.

The two shouted in unison, "Ceasefire!"

Then we started to have a serious discussion about business.

Everyone:...
