Her lips trembled slightly, as if not knowing what to say.
Lu Ziyang watched her reaction as something akin to surprise flashed under his eyes.
But he didn't let Gu Qingjiu see it.
"Really?"
An indifferent question and Lu Ziyang revealed an amused expression. "Looks like even you are not fully clear about the potential you hold. Of course, I shouldn't tell you this much now but let me officially introduce you to the kind of existence the Ninth Department is."
As he finally got to the main point, Gu Qingjiu frowned lightly.
"The Ninth Department is entirely a secret. Even if there were other country-level departments, except for the highest-ranking officials, no one else has the clearance to know about its existence."
Except for the highest-ranking officials, no one else had the authorization to know.
Gu Qingjiu's heart shuddered.
The Ninth Department, was it such a powerful existence?
