Chapter 75 Welcome back
Someone suddenly stood up and roared furiously, "What are you doing?! You're going to ruin us all!"

"He Lin, you're crazy!"

"You have no idea what kind of chain reaction your actions will trigger!"

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Amidst a series of angry roars, He Lin calmly buttoned up the collar of her trench coat, leaving the badge that symbolized power completely on the table, as if severing the last connection with this place.

She didn't look back and walked straight to the conference room door.

The section chief finally lost his temper and chased after her for the first time, disregarding his dignity. His voice was filled with anxiety: "He Lin, I can promote you and give you the highest authority. You can investigate whatever you want and go wherever you want in this building!"

"Where are you going?" He Lin stopped in her tracks, turned to look at him, and curled her lips into a mocking and contemptuous smile.

"I want to go to a cleaner place."

"Go to places where life is taken responsibility for."

She pushed open the door and stepped out, her figure quickly disappearing into the dimly lit corridor, along with the core of the iron triangle that had been built up over many years, which crumbled along with her.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was so oppressive it was almost suffocating.

Some people slumped in their chairs, some cursed under their breath, and others frantically dialed numbers on their communicators, trying to contact other lamplighters to stay.

But they all knew that

Once 002 leaves, the remaining lamplighters, those who stay, will no longer obey their orders.

Without 002, they are nothing more than a nominal administrative body, no longer able to lead any magnetic field operations.

They never imagined that He Lin would leave one day.

They had anticipated that He Lin's influence would become too great, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Meanwhile, in another area of ​​the 404 underground database, 005 stood in front of a sealed, old piece of equipment, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

009 beside him asked softly, "Are you really going to go with her?"

005 smiled slightly: "She is a boss I can respect, because she is not standing there for power."

“She really cares about us.”

He reached out and gently patted the name engraved on the locker: "If 001 were still here, she would definitely support her unconditionally."

An Jing was dozing off by the bedside when her phone suddenly vibrated. The screen displayed: He Lin.

She answered the phone and heard the same clear and crisp female voice as always.

An Jing.

"Mmm," she said calmly.

He Lin said in a low voice, "I have already resigned from the 404 Special Service Department."

An Jing paused slightly, seemingly unsurprised, and simply listened quietly.

“The official research department has been contacting me for a long time, wanting me to go over and take charge of front-end coordination. I originally didn’t plan to agree… but now I really can’t stay here any longer.”

Her voice was weary and restrained. "Perhaps the research department isn't a great place, but at least it's not a secret service. It's not a place where I can't even protect my own subordinates and have to be subservient to others in everything I do."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

“I understand you,” An Jing said softly.

He Lin was taken aback: "Aren't you going to ask why?"

"You don't need a reason to do what you do."

He Lin's throat bobbed slightly, her fingertips tightened unconsciously, and you could hear her take a deep breath even through the microphone.

An Jing's voice was gentle, but not weak: "We haven't known each other for long, and I know you're a high-ranking leader. At first, I didn't understand you and was even wary of you, but you've always been very warm."

“You shielded me from the pressure from above, and you didn’t treat me like an experimental subject or an outsider. You consider my feelings, and you’re always the first to stand up for me when I’m attacked outside.”

"I am grateful to people like this."

"Wherever you want to go, I'll go with you."

He Lin's originally cold and hard expression cracked slightly. She stood in the empty corridor, with a world corrupted by decay and power struggles behind her. The voice on the other end of the phone was like a ray of light shining in through the crack.

She gave a bitter laugh, her voice lower than ever before: "So you thought I was that highly?"

An Jing chuckled lightly, seemingly calm and confident: "Because I trust 001 and the others."

Upon hearing the familiar number, He Lin was suddenly jolted.

"He did everything he could to save me before he died, and I've also heard 003 and 005 mention that you two have a good relationship."

“You two were so close. He was my savior. Even though he’s gone, as the one who left behind him, I should carry on his will and become the next person who wholeheartedly believes in you, right?” He Lin closed her eyes, her throat tightening.

She hadn't heard this kind of trust, untainted by any self-interest or conditions, in such a long time.

It's like being stuck in a mud pit when someone suddenly reaches out a clean hand and says to you, "I believe in you."

Her heart ached terribly, but she could only try her best to keep her voice calm.

"Thank you, An Jing."

"Hmm." An Jing's voice was as gentle as ever. "I have a question, He Lin, may I ask you?"

"You said."

"001, what is his real name?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.

Then, a deep and extremely soft voice came:
"Luochuan."

An Jing paused for a moment, then softly repeated, "Luo Chuan."

"Okay, I will remember my savior's name."

Before ending the call, He Lin said, "I'll come pick you up once everything is arranged. From now on, the research department will be our new battlefield."

"it is good."

A few days later.

The headquarters of the official mysterious magnetic field research department, the Eastern Region General Control Center.

A large screen projects a simulation of the mysterious magnetic field evolution ahead, where a group of researchers and front-end collaborators are working intensively to adjust data and deploy control equipment.

Accompanied by a reminder:
"Research Coordinator, He Lin, take your positions."

The research department fell silent for a few seconds, then burst into applause.

She was dressed in a uniform dark gray outfit, her long hair was tied up, and her expression was resolute.

As soon as I entered the conference room, more than a dozen group leaders from various research groups stood up and offered their hands.

"We are truly happy to have you join us."

"The 404 error was really overwhelming before, and a lot of data was being held up and not given to us. Now that you're here, we can finally directly manage the front end."

"Not easy."

He Lin nodded one by one, her eyes calm.

She knew this was just the beginning.

Although I'm not sure what the situation is with the research department, but...

More importantly, all her old friends were there.

She looked back.

A group of people walked in from outside the gate.

005, 009, 018...

They walked calmly and steadily into the hall.

"He Lin." 005 stepped forward, nodded slightly, and handed over a transfer report.

"Qin Wulai is joining the company."

He Lin silently accepted it, her nose tingling with emotion, but she ultimately didn't lose control.

She simply said, "Welcome back."

Meanwhile, within 404.

a mess.

The phones in every department rang incessantly, and the door to the section chief's office was practically broken down by knocking.
"Chief! 003 has refused our transfer order!"

"006 has also resigned! They say he's gone to work in the Eastern Region!"

"And also, just now, the entire 005 group left, saying they were going with 002!"

"Director...we're bleeding money!"

The section chief sat in his chair, his face ashen.
