I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 303 Job Transfer Notice
"Is there any other method?"

"I'm a little reluctant to part with this child."

Zhang Guang tapped the table with his finger and said thoughtfully.

"The main thing is... An'an, I'm planning to let you raise this child."

"Ah I?"

"Well, you and Xiaoye are now husband and wife, so you are fully qualified to raise livestock. I wanted to give this to you as a surprise."

Zhang Guang said with a smile.

"Minister, you..."

Lin Xing'an looked moved and surprised.

A cold laugh rose in his heart.

Zhang Guang wasn't being reluctant to part with it for his own sake...

Zhang Guang definitely intended to use this child to bribe a certain committee member after he was confirmed as a candidate.

Don't think that human and animal babies are uncommon just because someone at the committee level.

At their level, job placement is indeed guaranteed.

But as early as five years ago, when the crisis of human and animal shortages first began to emerge, the committee's laws stipulated that each glutton could only be allocated one human and animal.

It can be stipulated that only one will be allocated.

It is not possible to keep only one.

The more humans and animals, the better.

Who knew the gluttonous ghost wouldn't want to raise more?

If Zhang Guang kills Sixteen and secretly offers up human and animal slaves, he can definitely secure another vote!

This also means...

Zhang Guang no longer needs Lin Xing'an to be a candidate committee member.

Therefore, Lin Xing'an went to great lengths to avoid this situation from happening.

All this just to get Zhang Guang to hand over the child now!

Of course, since this child is raised by a muddle-headed couple, he will most likely remain a muddle-headed person for the rest of his life, living a happy life.

"...Minister, there's no other way. This is the only solution I can think of."

"It is indeed a bit wasteful, but... well, there's nothing we can do about it."

Lin Xing'an sighed and shook his head as he spoke.

"..."

Zhang Guang thought for a moment, then a look of regret and disappointment appeared on his face.

indeed……

Professor Niu is the kind of person who would love for all the members of the committee to die.

He won't listen to force, and he certainly won't help if you try to persuade him gently.

After thinking it over, only this child can make him use his abilities...

"Minister, this child is already a windfall for us."

"It's worth trading a windfall for killing Sixteenth Month!"

Lin Xing'an spoke again.

"Then I'll leave this to you. Is there anything I need to write or issue?"

Zhang Guang nodded and said.

"No! Minister, I will definitely meet Professor Niu as a student. Going to meet him as a member of the committee would be counterproductive."

Lin Xing'an quickly waved his hand.

He then picked up his phone, "I'll contact Professor Niu right now, and then..."

He looked at Zhang Guang with some excitement.

"As long as Professor Niu agrees, we can see Song Xinju's current living environment in less than an hour."

"If we put this environment into our AI team, we can pinpoint the exact location immediately!"

"Even if the AI ​​doesn't work, it'll only take us a day to find the solution ourselves."

Lin Xing'an took a deep breath and said.

But before he could put down his phone, Professor Niu replied to the message.

"...Minister! I'll go back to Beicheng University right now. The professor is in his office."

"Then...if all goes well, everything should be settled before tonight!"

Lin Xing'an looked up and said.

"it is good!"

Zhang Guang glanced at the time, patted Lin Xing'an on the shoulder, and said, "Go on, I'll be waiting for your good news!"

"Ok!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Xing'an picked up the child and ran away.

Watching his retreating figure, Zhang Guang's eyes revealed an indescribable complexity and... apprehension.

"Is it a coincidence...?"

He murmured to himself, rubbing his chin and taking a deep breath.

He had just decided in his heart to give the child to Qian Sen.

If we can get Qian Sen's vote, we don't need to make Lin Xing'an a candidate committee member.

But the plan was only going to take a few minutes, and Lin Xing'an was about to give the child away...

...Could it be that Lin Xing'an knows what I'm thinking?

impossible……

Zhang Guang's breath hitched, then he shook his head.

He never revealed anything throughout.

Moreover, if Lin Xing'an had known, he wouldn't have handed the child over to him so openly.

"Am I overthinking it...?"

They were about to find Sixteen Months, and the resolution of the entire incident was just around the corner.

But at this moment, a sense of unease arose in Zhang Guang's heart.

Anyway...

The final outcome seems to be moving closer to Xu Zhe's prediction...

Lin Xing'an will find the Sixteenth Month.

Lin Hsing-an will become a candidate committee member.

"Ring ring ring!"

Zhang Guang's phone alarm suddenly went off.

He glanced at the time, greeted Zhao Wuji who was working, straightened his clothes, and left the infirmary.

"Minister, Minister, I've been waiting for you in your office for ages."

Li Lu, who had been waiting for a long time, was waiting at the office door.

“A member of the Fourth Action Team… contracted the [epidemic] due to personal reasons.”

"This led to the infection of all members of the fourth and fifth action groups."

Her complexion was extremely poor.

We are at a critical juncture now, and we are already short-handed.

This incident resulted in the needless loss of over ten experienced and combat-ready soldiers...

This is simply adding insult to injury.

But for Li Lu, what made things even worse was... that this was her responsibility...

At the very beginning of the pandemic, she acted as Zhang Guang's "incarnation," overseeing all field teams.

She is the one primarily responsible for this incident.

"Minister, it was my negligence that led to the infection in the fourth and fifth groups, I..."

As Li Lu was speaking, Zhang Guang suddenly stopped and raised his hand to interrupt her.

"...I'm sorry, Minister, I've let you down."

Li Lu clutched the hem of her clothes and lowered her head.

Zhang Guang is currently appearing calm.

But anyone who frequently deals with superiors knows that this is just the calm before the storm...

“Li Lu, it has been thirty days since the outbreak of the epidemic, and today is the thirty-first day.”

"You've done a great job this month."

Zhang Guang looked at Li Lu.

Li Lu gently shook her head, "I'm sorry, Minister, I... I'll go back and write my resignation letter right away, I..."

"Resignation report?"

"Li Lu, if you're leaving, where am I going to find someone as capable as you?"

Zhang Guang's voice suddenly rose.

Li Lu looked up at Zhang Guang's expression, somewhat puzzled, "Minister, you're not angry with me?"

"Blame you? Li Lu, I've seen all your hard work these past few days. Who doesn't make mistakes?"

"When you make a mistake, the most important thing is to admit it and correct it. The fact that you told me about your mistake immediately proves that you care about me."

"That's also what I admire most about you."

"Don't worry, the pandemic will be over soon. I will nominate you for the vacant position of Director of Operations."

Zhang Guang patted Li Lu on the shoulder.

"Your work over the past few days has proven your ability."

"The dawn has arrived, and the end of the epidemic is just around the corner in the next two days."

Fearing that Li Lu wouldn't believe him, Zhang Guang spoke again.

He then ignored it and walked towards the gate of the Siege Department.

Li Lu was left standing there, stunned, mentally replaying Zhang Guang's words in her mind. The head of the Action Department…

This is a top-level position, second only to the deputy director of the Siege Department.

The previous one was the highly decorated Xu Zhe...

Thinking of this, Li Lu quickly pinched her thigh.

Some even doubted whether they were dreaming.

"call……"

At the entrance of the besieged department, Zhang Guang stood by the door like the lowest-ranking doorman, ready to greet Qian Sen.

He was mentally rehearsing what he would say later.

Although catching Wen Wen today gave him a lot of confidence, and although Lin Xing'an had already gone to see Professor Niu.

But Zhang Guang was still a little nervous when he saw Qian Sen's car arrive.

After quietly adjusting himself, a smile appeared on his face.

"senior!"

A black SUV stopped, and Zhang Guang quickly went to greet it, bending down to open the car door.

"Senior! You've finally arrived!"

"These days, everyone in our department gets really motivated by your stories from when you were young!"

"If you just take a walk around our siege unit and show your face, everyone's confidence will skyrocket!"

Zhang Guang said with a smile.

A feeling of unease settled in my heart.

Because there was more than just Qian Sen in that car; Wei Dongling was also there...

Qian Sen's wife, Qian Qiongzhi's grandmother.

They used to be in charge of interrogations in the assassination department...

In the past, children would stay up all night, but would immediately close their eyes whenever they heard Wei Dongling's name.

"Old leader, you too..."

"Stop with the nonsense, Zhang Guang, bring me your siege unit's operation report for the past few days right now."

Wei Dongling interrupted Zhang Guang as soon as she got out of the car.

"Old boss, these reports all have time limits."

"Looking at the previous report now is meaningless and may even be misleading. I'll just summarize it and give you a report instead."

Zhang Guang led the two leaders toward his office.

Wei Dongling glanced at him indifferently.

"Stop talking nonsense, just take it."

"If you don't want to take it, I can make you want to take it."

Her voice wasn't harsh, nor did it carry any sense of coercion.

Instead, it was full of kindness.

But it caused cold sweat to instantly break out on Zhang Guang's forehead.

"...Do you think I can satisfy your every whim?"

"Please wait a moment, I'll get it sorted out right away."

Zhang Guang said with an awkward laugh.

"Zhang Guang, at a time like this, stop trying to pull any more tricks."

"Now that I'm here, think about why I'm here."

Wei Dongling said, sitting in the large leather chair behind Zhang Guang's desk.

In front of her, Qian Sen, who had been shouting the loudest on the phone, didn't dare to say a word.

"understand."

After closing the office door, Zhang Guang gasped.

If it were just Qian Sen coming, he might have a chance to get two more days.

But Wei Dongling...

She's here to settle scores...

Zhang Guang couldn't get anything out of her even after several hours.

Unless Lin Xing'an can immediately pinpoint the exact location of the 16th month...

Zhang Guang glanced at the time.

Lin Xing'an has been there for half an hour, and he should be at Professor Niu's place by now.

I want to persuade Professor Niu to use his abilities...

It will take at least another hour...

"drag!"

Zhang Guang gritted his teeth.

Now that things have come to this, he can only try to delay as much as possible!

"Zhang Guang, stop standing outside and bring over some documents. It shouldn't take too long, right?"

"I'll give you two minutes."

Inside the room, Wei Dongling spoke as if she could see Zhang Guang standing outside the door right now.

This minister's office has the best and most advanced soundproofing.

But Wei Dongling's voice was exactly the same as when she was speaking right in front of Zhang Guang...

"One hundred and ten seconds left."

she said again.

Zhang Guang dared not delay in the slightest.

He hurriedly went to the archives where Li Lu was temporarily working, quickly organized the reports from each round of reporting, and picked them all up.

"Old leader, this is our action team's action report."

"The report format is also the same as yours back then."

Zhang Guang glanced at Qian Sen, who was sitting on the sofa next to him with his eyes closed, resting.

Then the report was handed to Wei Dongling.

He then silently lowered his head and stood still.

“Zhang Guang, you’ve been dragging this out on my old man. At first, it was every day, then half a day, then an hour…”

"I thought you were exaggerating, but I didn't expect..."

"You've been fabricating things out of thin air all along, haven't you?"

Wei Dongling flipped through the reports expressionlessly.

Although there was no trace of anger in his voice, it still sounded incredibly kind.

But Zhang Guang felt a strong sense of oppression.

It made him almost afraid to speak!
"Wow, so many people have died!"

"Zhang Guang, it seems the committee should thank you in some way."

"With so many people dying, the pressure of distributing humans and livestock has been reduced all at once."

"You solved the problem that we couldn't handle at all in one go, right?"

Wei Dongling said with a smile.

Zhang Guangze's Adam's apple bobbed.

"...Old boss, today's report hasn't come out yet."

"We captured a very important human today, and just now, we obtained her memories."

"We will definitely be able to pinpoint the exact location of the 16th month before tonight."

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Dongling burst out laughing.

"Tonight? Zhang Guang, do you think I'm just an old man in my family?"

"You've run out of tricks, haven't you? Still trying to fool me?"

She stopped smiling.

For the first time, a chill appeared in his voice.

"...Old leader, this time it's for real. We've been lying low and biding our time for so long, just to deliver a fatal blow to both humans and animals!"

"There will be absolutely no problem tonight!"

Zhang Guang, under pressure, gritted his teeth and said!
Wei Dongling then took out a piece of paper from her bag.

"Alright, that's enough. You've done your best. It's tough on you to deal with something this big."

"Let's go back to Nancheng and rest."

She knocked on the table.

He pushed the piece of paper in front of Zhang Guang.

Upon seeing the above content, Zhang Guang's eyes widened instantly!
This isn't a suspension notice; it's just a reassignment order to send him to Nancheng.

This is a job transfer notice...

He was notified that he was being transferred from the position of head of the committee's siege department to...

Director of the Subdistrict Office at No. 06 Chunhua Street, Nancheng?

"This... old boss, this... I..."

Zhang Guang looked at these words and even wondered if he was seeing things!
"The southern part of the city is quite nice; the weather is warm, making it suitable for retirement."

“This position of director of the subdistrict office is a sinecure, but I specifically chose it for you.”

"After all, you've been in the Siege Department for so many years. Even if you haven't made any great contributions, you've certainly put in a lot of hard work."

Wei Dongling picked up the pen on the table.

"Alright, sign it."

"The car is already outside. Just pack up and we can go."

She handed the pen to Zhang Guang and said softly.
