On the other side!
As soon as Feng Zhao came out, he received a call from the Nail Project Team.
Feng Zhao: "Hello! It's me! Safe!"
"Little Feng! How have you been doing lately..."
Feng Zhao: "I've been doing okay..."
"Are there any difficulties at your home that need help? I remember your father has ankylosing spondylitis. We can arrange for him to go to Imperial Capital for treatment, and we will get him the best doctor."
"Just sign it under the guise of tourism! Leave the rest to us, and we guarantee your father will receive the best treatment."
Feng Zhao: "..."
He originally thought that since the video he provided was fake, the Nail Project Team would definitely be furious with him. Logically speaking, this call should have been to hold him accountable, asking if he was colluding with the Black Dragon Group as a traitor. However, he didn't expect that the person on the other end of the phone never questioned him from start to finish, only caring about his family.
This feeling...
Feels oddly familiar!
Yeah!
It felt like he had just experienced this exact same thing in Qin Jiang's office, it was so familiar.
Feng Zhao: "Thank you for the organization's care! I need to make a self-criticism regarding the video! At the time, I didn't know the video was fake. I filmed it myself and didn't see any other cameras. I checked the authenticity of this video back then, but couldn't find much evidence, which is why I dragged it out and didn't submit it."
He wasn't lying. After getting the video, he had sought verification from multiple sources but didn't find any evidence of filming. He also wanted to find that old man but couldn't. Who asked him to not have a high position in the Black Dragon Group at that time anyway?
Coupled with the fact that Li Hao and the others deliberately guarded against him, he actually thought the video was real, but believed that because he hadn't investigated it clearly, he didn't report it to the organization.
Afterwards, he remained conflicted.
It wasn't until the people from the Nail Project Team found him again and explained the stakes to him that he submitted the video.
"You did the right thing. If you had submitted this video early and we used it to make a fuss, it would have been a real disaster. It was your caution that prevented this from happening. At the same time, since you submitted this video, it also proves your loyalty. We trust you very much..."
Feng Zhao: "Thank you for the trust... But leader, I find that I might not be very suited for undercover work!"
"No! You are very suited!"
Feng Zhao: "But I haven't provided any important information..."
"No! What you have provided is already a lot. Although there is no specific crime evidence against the Black Dragon Group, most of our current understanding of the Black Dragon Group comes from you."
"You are the most core link among all the Nails infiltrated! You are very important and very outstanding!"
"After our meeting's decision: you are awarded a personal Second-Class Merit, and your Police rank is promoted by one level. After this undercover operation ends, there will be additional rewards based on merit."
What?
Feng Zhao: ∑(; ° Д ° )
No way?
Did he get promoted again?
What is wrong with him today?
He came to find Brother Jiang intending to resign and leave the Black Dragon Group, but instead of leaving, he got a promotion and a raise.
He also intended to resign to the Nail Project Team, but they didn't agree either and instead promoted him as well.
What the heck!
Did he get caught up with promotions today?
Is the business world and official career path so easy to navigate now?
Who said it was hard?
Where is it hard?
He didn't do anything and hasn't he been promoted just like that?
It's simply outrageous!!!
Feng Zhao: "Both sides gave me a promotion..."
"Both? What do you mean? You got promoted in the Black Dragon Group too..."
Feng Zhao: "Yes! Just a moment ago, I was appointed as the provisional secretary of the Black Dragon Group Chairman's Foreign Affairs Secretariat Team!"
He didn't hide the matter of his promotion.
First: Hiding it from the organization is a major fault!
Second: This kind of matter was not a secret to begin with. An announcement will soon be issued inside the group, and there are definitely more than just him undercover in the Black Dragon Group. The undercover agents below will surely get the news and report it up.
What?
A sound of shock came from the other end of the phone.
Their investigation into the Black Dragon Group had long been extremely meticulous, so they naturally knew the weight of this title.
It sounded like a foreign affairs secretary and a temporary position, but it was actually already considered Executive level.
Most importantly:
This position can access core secrets, much more than ordinary Executives know.
And such a position was far too suitable for them to gather information and observe the specific movements of the Black Dragon Group.
For a moment, bustling noises came from the other end of the phone; clearly, the Nail Project Team was holding an emergency meeting.
Soon, a voice came from the other end of the phone again:
"Feng Zhao! You've done very well! We really didn't misjudge you. You are truly so suited to be an undercover agent, and your position is extremely important! It seems you've worked very hard in the Black Dragon Group, and we've all seen your hard work. We will submit a petition for your merits regarding this matter! I dare guarantee we can get you another Third-Class Merit, and if you can dig up useful information, a Second-Class Merit or even a First-Class Merit is not impossible."
Feng Zhao: "..."
Why am I so suited to be an undercover agent?
What have I even done?
I haven't done anything at all!
Ever since joining the Black Dragon Group, aside from enjoying life, I've basically just been enjoying life! Clearly I haven't done anything, yet I keep getting promoted and getting raises, continuously accumulating merits? How absurd...
"Feng Zhao! What you need to do now is to go deep undercover and look for crime evidence of the Black Dragon Group."
"Don't be anxious, even if you can't find it in a short time, it doesn't matter. With your identity, avoiding exposure is the priority!"
Feng Zhao: "Okay!"
...
Presumably, after the two chatted about some important undercover matters on the phone, they each hung up.
...
Nail Project Team!
Everyone was incomparably excited:
"I really didn't expect that this Feng Zhao actually penetrated into the most core position of the Black Dragon Group."
"The chairman's secretary! He will definitely be able to contact core materials. With him there, as long as the Black Dragon Group commits crimes, clues will inevitably be found so that they can be solved."
"It seems Feng Zhao has put in a lot of effort in the Black Dragon Group, we must attach great importance to him..."
"I agree! Submit a petition for his merits and give him awards! Absolutely do not let him be bewitched by the sugar-coated bullets of the Black Dragon Group."
...
Inside the flat!
Feng Zhao sat in his bedroom and opened a drawer that wasn't very covert, only to see that it concealed many merit medals, certificates, one Second-Class Merit, two Third-Class Merits, various other medals, and the appointment letter for his Police rank promotion.
He originally hid these things very deeply; they weren't in this room at all, nor were they even in Songjiang.
He didn't know when he started bringing all these things back to this house. He even fantasized that one day Black Dragon Personnel would rush into his home and search out these things.
That way he might be liberated...
He wouldn't have to be an undercover agent anymore!
Maybe the Nail Project Team could also find the crime evidence of the Black Dragon Group from him!
But these things had been placed here for a year...
No one came to check at all...
