"Good!" Suddenly, applause echoed from the middle of the hall. Qin Yan turned his head and saw the middle-aged man sitting at the desk clapping and cheering. The middle-aged man spoke in a loud voice, "Young man, at such a young age, to have such great skills, it's truly admirable!"

"What's going on?" Qin Yan was a bit puzzled. He had just been attacked upon entering, and now someone was applauding and praising him, which left him quite confused.

"I am Wei Gang, Wei Zheng's father." The middle-aged man stroked his beard and spoke firmly, "The incident just now was arranged by me. The purpose was simply to test you. Young man, you have impressive abilities. The person you just defeated is one of my most skilled security personnel, trained in professional combat. You defeated him so easily."

"So he is Wei Zheng's father." Qin Yan thought to himself, calming down and conversing with Wei Gang, "Did you want to see me?"

Wei Gang chuckled and said, "Sit down, let's talk."

Qin Yan didn't hesitate and found a chair to sit next to the desk.

Wei Gang looked at Qin Yan intently and said, "I have heard about you from my son. I heard that you obtained some extraordinary abilities by chance, greatly enhancing your physical condition and becoming a superhuman. Is that true?"

Qin Yan nodded, "Yes. How did you know about these abilities? What do you do?"

Wei Gang's eyes lit up as he said, "You seem like a smart young man. I might as well be direct with you. We have known about the existence of superhumans and their abilities for a long time. To investigate these matters, we established a special intelligence organization called the Shield Bureau. So, we are well-informed about superpowers and superhumans."

"The Shield Bureau?" Qin Yan repeated the name silently. He had never heard of the organization from Lin Shiqi.

Wei Gang continued, "The Shield Bureau has been closely monitoring superhuman organizations in society to prevent them from disrupting social order and engaging in activities harmful to society. Unfortunately, at the moment, the Shield Bureau is still in its development stage and does not have the capability to control these superhuman organizations, including the superhuman academy you visited a few days ago."

Qin Yan was surprised and said, "You know about it all?"

Wei Gang smiled slightly and said, "The Superhuman Academy is one of our current targets of close attention. In fact, I knew about your visit to the Superhuman Academy from the first day."

Qin Yan started to feel uneasy and began to speculate about Wei Gang's intentions in calling him. He wondered if Wei Gang wanted to capture him for a thorough investigation.

"Don't worry, I didn't call you here today to discuss your interactions with these superhuman organizations." Wei Gang seemed to sense Qin Yan's thoughts and spoke calmly.

"Then may I ask, what did you call me here for?" Qin Yan asked cautiously.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Wei Gang's eyes lit up as he spoke in a loud voice, "As I mentioned earlier, the Shield Bureau is currently in a development stage and we need to recruit talented individuals to strengthen our capabilities. You are the talent we need. With your abilities at such a young age, joining us will surely lead to great success. Your future will be limitless!"

Qin Yan was feeling a bit puzzled. Besides the Superhuman Academy, there was now the Shield Bureau. He didn't want to get involved in the struggles between organizations and politely declined, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in these matters, and I am currently studying. I don't want to consider these things for now."

Wei Gang was taken aback by Qin Yan's quick rejection. His face stiffened, and his tone turned somewhat cold, "Since you are not willing to join the Shield Bureau, then why did you join that Superhuman Academy?!"

"I didn't join the Superhuman Academy," Qin Yan explained quickly.

"Is that so?" Wei Gang said skeptically, "According to intelligence reports, you seem to have a close relationship with Lin Yuanshan's granddaughter, the founder of that Superhuman Academy. How do you explain that?"

Qin Yan felt like he was being interrogated like a criminal, and a sense of displeasure arose in his heart. He said, "These are my personal matters."

Wei Gang snorted and stared into Qin Yan's eyes, saying, "Young man, don't blame me for being meddlesome. I'm just worried that you might go astray. These superhuman organizations conduct biological experiments on humans without any regard for life. They don't care if they turn people into monsters. Being associated with such organizations will not lead to a good outcome!"

Qin Yan's heart stirred as he recalled Wang Tieniu turning into a monster after injecting Master Ma's elixir. He thought about the ruthless nature of these superhuman organizations, which were indifferent to the lives of others. However, he also felt that Lin Shiqi and the others at the Superhuman Academy were decent people who treated him well. He said, "Not all superhuman organizations are as you describe."

Wei Gang coldly chuckled, "Of course, they will treat you well to win you over. But no matter what, they engage in activities that are kept in the dark. Their existence poses a significant threat to society. You must remember this!"

Feeling increasingly uncomfortable, Qin Yan wanted to end the conversation quickly and leave the place.

Wei Gang let out a deep sigh and said, "Since you are not willing to join our Shield Bureau, I won't force you. However, I hope you can help me with another matter."

"What matter?"

"It's simple. All you need to do is keep track of what happens at that Superhuman Academy on a daily basis, any significant events, their research on superpowers, and find a way to record and pass this information on to me. This should not be difficult for you, and afterwards, I will reward you handsomely as a token of appreciation."

Qin Yan was taken aback, then realized, "You want me to gather intelligence for you, to act as a spy within the Superhuman Academy?"

Wei Gang chuckled, "Please don't misunderstand. We are doing this to prevent these superhuman organizations from causing harm to society. Think about it, if we let these superhuman organizations go unchecked, it's highly likely that the entire social order will be disrupted by them. It could lead to chaos and a major disaster for humanity. By helping us, you can prevent this catastrophe. If you have a conscience, you should assist our Shield Bureau."

Qin Yan's mind was in turmoil, feeling confused. He said, "I need some time to consider."

Wei Gang nodded and said, "Alright, let my son know when you have made a decision. I'm busy now, so I won't see you out." With that, he lowered his head and focused on the documents on his desk. Qin Yan stood up, headed towards the door, and heard Wei Gang's voice again from behind:

"Also, don't tell anyone about what we discussed just now, not even my son Wei Zheng. If you want to continue living a normal life, it's best to keep this information to yourself. Do you understand?"

"I understand," Qin Yan replied. In truth, even if Wei Gang hadn't said this, he had no intention of sharing this secretive conversation with anyone else.

"Alright, my driver will take you back. I look forward to hearing good news from you."
