Chapter 250: Live Broadcast Interrupted, an Invitation from a Special State Department!

Meanwhile!

China Central Television!

The Program Team of "Simulated Crime"!

Inside the spacious control room, the atmosphere was exceptionally heavy.

Seeing this scene, the entire staff, including the chief director Zhang Yiwen, were all stunned in place in disbelief!

To bring him back to the country, the state not only dispatched a special plane but also mobilized fighter jets?

This kind of treatment is not something just anyone gets!

What is even more incredible is that even those high-ranking military officials treated him with great respect, directly regarding him as an honored guest!

"Thump, thump, thump!"

The next second, just as everyone was extremely shocked by this display, a knock on the door interrupted their train of thought.

Looking toward the sound, they saw three high-ranking officers in military uniform striding toward the staff.

Upon arriving, the middle-aged officer in the lead gave them a crisp military salute, then said in a very solemn tone: "Who is in charge here?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yiwen slowly took off his headset, paced over to the three, and asked: "I am the chief director of the program, my surname is Zhang, who are you?"

"We are from the National Security Bureau. We have orders from above; please terminate the live broadcast immediately."

"Terminate the live broadcast?"

Upon hearing this, the staff present immediately began whispering to one another.

Following that, Zhang Yiwen also asked in confusion: "Why?"

"It involves state secrets, I cannot disclose them. Please cooperate!" the leading middle-aged officer replied forcefully.

"State secrets?"

"Yes, I hope you will cooperate!"

After sizing up the three, Zhang Yiwen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Alright, I need to ask my superiors for instructions; I cannot make this decision myself."

Hearing Zhang Yiwen's words, the middle-aged officer gave a look to a tall officer beside him.

Seeing this, the tall officer nodded, then immediately took out his phone, dialed a number, and handed it to Zhang Yiwen.

Looking at the tall officer, Zhang Yiwen hesitated slightly, but eventually took the phone: "Hello?"

"Director Zhang, it's me, Chen Zhiguo." On the other end of the line, Chen Zhiguo's voice came through.

Hearing it was Chen Zhiguo, Zhang Yiwen hurriedly said: "Director Chen, what is going on?"

"I also just received notification from above, telling us to unconditionally cooperate with the National Security Bureau's operation, so, terminate the broadcast!"

"But..."

"There are no 'buts,' it concerns state secrets, just do as you're told!"

"Alright, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yiwen returned it to the tall officer and then instructed his staff: "Terminate the live broadcast immediately."

"Thank you for your cooperation!"

After saying this, the leading middle-aged officer gave him a military salute and then left the control room.

At this moment, the audience in the live stream had already watched Chu Chen board that Air Force One.

But in the very next second, the words "Live Broadcast Terminated" appeared on the screen!

The image was frozen forever at the moment Chu Chen stepped onto the plane.

【What the hell, what's going on?】

【Live broadcast terminated?】

【Why is it gone?】

【What kind of stunt is the Program Team pulling again?! I really admire you bunch of trolls!】

【It always cuts off at the critical moment, speechless!】

【This probably isn't the Program Team's fault!】

【If it's not the Program Team's fault, whose fault is it?】

【It's obvious the state has stepped in. If I'm not mistaken, Chu Chen should be part of the national team from now on!】

【Holy crap, is that for real!】

Right now, although the live stream was still a black screen, the waves of comments never stopped!

Many people were discussing the reason for the sudden interruption of the broadcast!

Meanwhile!

On the plane.

Led by several crew members, Chu Chen finally met with the white-haired old man.

After inviting him to sit, the white-haired old man did not engage in much small talk and went straight to the point: "Before we officially begin today's conversation, I want to ask you a question."

"Go ahead," Chu Chen said calmly.

"Have you heard of Huaxia's 749 Bureau?" the white-haired old man asked with a piercing gaze.

Hearing this, Chu Chen nodded.

Although this mysterious organization, the 749 Bureau, had never appeared in public, many people had heard of its existence, and various rumors about it were common.

In fact, the real 749 Bureau was not mysterious, nor did it have any people with supernatural abilities.

It was just a special administrative agency under the National Security Bureau, mainly responsible for handling some very thorny special incidents.

Its predecessor was the 508 Aerospace Research Institute, and after '99, it was reorganized into the Secret Bureau, continuing to this day.

The white-haired old man was the person in charge of the Secret Bureau, Yang Zhiyong!

After more than thirty years of development, the current Secret Bureau had become a special department with a very comprehensive institutional structure!

Including but not limited to Intelligence Organizations, Counter-Espionage Organizations, Special Incident Investigation Departments, External Defense Action Investigation Departments, Intelligence Analysis Organizations, Tiansha Special Action Groups, and so on and so forth—there is nothing they cannot do!

Seeing Chu Chen nod, Yang Zhiyong continued in a deep voice:

"The predecessor of Bureau 749 was the 508 Aerospace Research Institute. Back then, in order to establish this aerospace research institute, the state secretly recruited many talented and extraordinary people, but due to certain reasons, it was reorganized shortly after its founding."

"Now, the higher-ups have the intention to restart 508 and want you to be in charge, with the rank of General."

Restart 508?

Confer the rank of General?

Hearing these words from Yang Zhiyong, Chu Chen frowned slightly.

The 508 Aerospace Research Institute was the first unit in New Huaxia to engage in space technology research, personally founded and led by Elder Qian.

The fact that Huaxia's aerospace industry could develop so rapidly in this century is largely due to the 508 Research Institute!

It can be said that without the 508 Research Institute, there would be no takeoff for Huaxia's aerospace industry!

These words from Yang Zhiyong were truly somewhat beyond Chu Chen's expectations.

He really did not expect that the state would entrust such a great responsibility to him!

"Why choose me?"

Yang Zhiyong smiled, then explained:

"I have watched your livestreams, especially the time you challenged Mount Everest, which left a very deep impression on me. This kind of thing cannot be successful just by having courage alone. And that Kite Suit Flying, it can absolutely be called a great innovation. If these skills could be promoted throughout the entire military, it would certainly take our air force's combat capabilities a step further!"

"The reason the higher-ups chose you is that they value your abilities and want you to train a group of all-around talents like yourself for Huaxia's aerospace and air force endeavors!"

Kite Suit Flying?

Why does this name sound so strange?

After Yang Zhiyong finished speaking, Chu Chen finally understood why the state had gone to such great lengths.

So, they wanted to recruit him!

The next second, before he could speak, Yang Zhiyong continued:

"You don't need to rush to give me an answer. Whenever you have considered it, contact me. For now, focus on the competition; I am very much looking forward to your performance in the upcoming matches!"

After he finished speaking, Chu Chen said indifferently: "The plainclothes officers who have been following me for over half a month are also your people, right?"

Hearing this, Yang Zhiyong was slightly stunned, a flash of shock appearing in his eyes!

Those people from the Sky Killing Action Group were all well-trained super soldiers; any one of them taken out was an expert in tracking and counter-tracking, truly a Shadow Unit in every sense of the word!

How did this kid discover them?

Looking at Yang Zhiyong's shocked expression, Chu Chen smiled slightly: "It is evident that your subordinates' professional skills are not quite up to par; they really do need some training..."

"I will consider the matter of 508. Thank you for your hospitality."

After drinking the hot tea in his cup in one gulp, Chu Chen stood up, left his cabin, returned to his own seat, and closed his eyes to rest!
