"What do you an?" Vigina slightly widened her eyes, "Soone in Ains deliberately retained my authority? Is the struggle on Ains’s side so complex?"
"Looking at your ’speech’ just now," He Ao looked at her appearance and laughed silently, "You said you could handle the suspension problem yourself, I thought you were already prepared, at least understood a bit."
"When the team encounters a shock, the leader is the one who mustn’t panic the most, I understand this," Vigina said slowly, "These young n are full of enthusiasm, but in the Federal Bureau of Investigation system, it’s actually very difficult to stir up waves. If I lose my calm, they will follow into chaos, then we can’t achieve anything."
She looked at He Ao and smiled, "First stabilize the team’s mindset, let everyone maintain basic unity, and then slowly co up with a solution."
"Very wise." He Ao nodded lightly and smiled.
The more you encounter a crisis, the more you have to remain calm.
As Vigina said, those young agents themselves can do very little. They all have their own families, and although they trust Vigina now, this trust built in a couple of days is not that solid.
Let these agents continue to push forward the previous investigation in their own posts according to Vigina’s arrangent.
This approach is within the rules, neither harming the agents’ own interests nor causing ongoing harm and impact on the consortium, making it indeed the best choice at present.
The person behind the scenes suspending Vigina largely intends to stop the investigation; if the investigation continues, the suspension is ineffective.
Of course, it is also possible to have these agents do so ’operations’; if Vigina is ’completely suspended’ or even faces danger, He Ao can still try so ’solutions’ to protect Vigina.
But now that Vigina is not fully suspended, there’s no need for extra actions.
"Actually, this idea isn’t from , but from the ’Federal Bureau of Investigation Internal Managent Personnel Training Material,’" Vigina looked at He Ao and said slowly, "This book is quite useful, filled with practical content. The chief editor was the late forr deputy chief of staff of the Federal Bureau, Suote."
She said with a hint of emotion, "I previously thought of visiting him in Ains, but it turns out I never had the chance,"
She shook her head with a smile, looking at He Ao, "But you probably don’t know Suote, his fa is mainly within the Federal Bureau."
"I know a little." He Ao nodded lightly.
"Through the Dawn City incident half a year ago?" Vigina looked at He Ao, thinking slightly, "Oh, right. It’s said Suote was also a ’Believer of K.’"
Then she seed to rember sothing, quickly shook her head, "Almost got my thoughts sidetracked,"
She looked at He Ao, thoughtfully, "If soone deliberately left the authority, who would that be?"
"Actually, it’s not that hard to guess," He Ao looked at Vigina, who was recovering from the suspension turmoil, and spoke slowly, "In Ains, there aren’t many who can manipulate a division director-level authority,"
He looked at Vigina, "And when it involves the ’suspension’ of a division director, it must be reported to the chief director, and the chief director must ’approve’ it."
The suspension application for an FBI employee is quite simple, it’s just a pop-up task flow, and the approval for complete suspension requires just a click of agreent.
And the ’suspension while pausing authority’ option is just below this pop-up, selected by default.
If you want to suspend without pausing authority, you need to first cancel the pause authority check, then click agree.
After agreeing, another pop-up will show, indicating ’pause authority’ is unchecked, then click confirm again to suspend.
Compared to a direct suspension operation, this whole process adds two more steps, making a mistaken touch almost impossible.
This is also why He Ao judged Vigina’s ’suspension but not pausing authority’ situation was deliberate.
"You an," Vigina slightly reacted, looked at He Ao, paused, then uttered the na she found hard to believe, "the chief director?"
Her actions seed to freeze, as if she were replaying the entire incident, contemplating whether she was overthinking it.
After quite a while, when her forehead was sowhat hot and red, she ca back to her senses, saying in disbelief, "But why would it be the chief director? I have almost no connection with him, I’ve never even t him, or know him."
"He might know you," He Ao gently shook his head, said slowly, "You think, why did Denno City’s forr director ’get promoted’ so coincidentally, and while you’ve applied for a callback several tis without approval, you happened to be transferred to Denno City at this ti point and beca the Federal Bureau director?"
"This," Vigina was slightly taken aback, looking at He Ao in confusion, "all this is calculated? Was my transfer intentional? Why?"
Her cheeks showed a flush, clearly indicating a brain overclocking.
"Because of your ’stance,’" He Ao glanced at the skyscrapers outside the window, the infirmary was located on a high floor, allowing a full view of Denno City’s downtown, and in the distance, one could spot the already sealed Kewort Group building.
Watching all this, He Ao spoke slowly, "Because you have potential conflicts with the Kewort Group, and if you want to uncover the truth about your brother, you’ll inevitably clash with the Kewort Group and simultaneously, your character is very upright, making you more likely to stand out when encountering injustice."
"You an that person in Ains wants to confront the Kewort Group?" Vigina slightly widened her eyes, pointing at herself, "?"
While she knew a lot, she was clear about her own abilities.
She had been in Denno City for so long without even managing the Denno City Federal Bureau internally, and her current prestige in the Federal Bureau was earned with He Ao’s help.
Expecting her to take on the Kewort Group might be overestimating her abilities.
"Have you ever played chess?" He Ao withdrew his gaze and said slowly, "Sotis when you place a piece in an open spot, it may not seem useful at the ti, but when the battleground reaches it, it can sotis show miraculous effects."
"So, that person in Ains placed in this position, waiting for so change to happen here in Denno City, where I could play a crucial role, and that change might involve the Kewort Group?" Vigina looked at He Ao, slightly frowning.
Her eyebrows were arched upwards, seeming sowhat puzzled, with a hint of helplessness as she said, "But what major event could happen in Denno City? From the ti I was transferred, it’s been over half a year. He couldn’t have predicted the President would be assassinated in Denno City, could he?"
At this point, her words suddenly stopped.
It’s not impossible...
But if the FBI chief director had determined the President would be assassinated in Denno City, why not arrange in advance to nip the danger in the bud.
Moreover...
She looked up at He Ao, "I actually didn’t play any role in the assassination incident, if it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have reached this point. He couldn’t have predicted your appearance as well, could he?"
"Actually, arranging for you to co might not have been for the President’s assassination," listening to Vigina’s words, He Ao shook his head, casually said, "Maybe the original plan he designed for you related to the Dark Lizard, you might just be an ’idle piece,’ but the President’s assassination event happened too suddenly, forcing him to use you for so spontaneous arrangents."
He Ao looked at her, said slowly, "In this world, the vast majority of plans can’t be executed perfectly according to their content, various problems always arise, and in the face of sudden situations, reasonably utilizing arrangents from other plans is also very normal."
"Hmm, that’s possible too," Vigina nodded gently, then lifted her head, rubbing her temples, and sighed with so helplessness, "Being used as a pawn doesn’t seem to feel very great either."
"Then let put it another way," He Ao smiled as he looked at her, "Ains needs sothing from you, so he specifically transferred you to Denno City, hoping you can give him so help at critical monts."
"Okay, okay," upon hearing this, Vigina gave a thumbs-up, "You’re good with words."
"Being used as a ’pawn’ is normal, it doesn’t really matter," He Ao glanced at Vigina’s still downcast eyes and said softly, "What matters is that you need to distinguish clearly who’s the enemy, who’s a friend, who wants to use you, and who wants to help you, and how to use these ’players’ to achieve your own goals."
"Then at this mont, these ’players’ are just ’pawns’ too?" Vigina rested her hand on her chin.
She lifted her head to look at He Ao’s profile in the light, the faint sunshine outlining his resolute, angular features.
"A good ’player’ remains in the ga but can manipulate the entire situation," she paused briefly, fully raising her eyes.
She smiled and said, "I find that your line of thought is sowhat like that internal training book by Suote."
"Is that so?" He Ao withdrew his gaze and looked at Vigina, smiling, "So what is your current authority level?"
"Authority level?" Vigina was slightly taken aback. She raised her wristband, opened the Federal Bureau of Investigation software, "Regional Deputy Director,"
"Go to your personal hopage, enter the authority system, and at the bottom of the authority system, there’s a full authority level query," He Ao said softly, "See all your authority levels?"
"Can the authority level be put together like this?" Vigina was a bit confused, then she followed He Ao’s instructions and found her level on the third-level page of the authority system on her personal hopage.
A line of words appeared against the golden and orange background.
Seeing that line, Vigina was slightly stunned, "Deputy Director·Temporary Large Area Manager? When?"
She quickly scrolled through the authority change records on the page, sowhat bewildered and exclaid, "Last September? But I only received a notice for promotion to Deputy Director."
"The granting of authority is not notified," He Ao shook his head,
"Although most of the ti, authority is directly matched to positions, in so special situations, authority and position can be unmatched. This is to facilitate certain people in executing ’special tasks,’"
He said softly, "It seems that since you transferred to Denno City, you have already entered into so kind of ’special task’ category."
"It seems that he had arrangents in place long ago," Vigina shook her head, then looked up at He Ao and asked, "What does this ’Temporary Large Area Manager’ an?"
This indeed exceeded her understanding a bit.
But it seed that this authority was even higher than her Deputy Director authority.
"The ’Large Area Manager’ authority is generally granted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation Deputy Directors of major cities or regional core cities, allowing them to have certain powers over other deputy directors and to mobilize resources from other cities. Both the Federal Bureau of Investigation Deputy Directors of Dawn City and Vitland have this authority."
He Ao explained slowly, "’Temporary Large Area Manager,’ though called a ’Large Area Manager,’ is not a local authority, but a Federal Central authority. This authority is mainly granted to so senior employees at the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation who are deployed on missions,"
He paused his tone and continued, "For example, the deputy chiefs of staff at the general staff office, if deployed on a mission, would have this authority,
"Of course, they would also be assigned a ’Temporary Large Area Manager’ position, allowing them to command or order local Federal Bureau of Investigation employees.
"And because this is a ’position’ belonging to headquarters officials, it actually carries an additional ’power’ different from a real large area manager."
He Ao turned his gaze to Vigina, "Those who get the ’Temporary Large Area Manager’ position can to so extent command Ains’s Federal Bureau of Investigation employees."
"But I only have ’authority,’ not ’position,’ so I can’t command through a position." Vigina quickly responded.
"But you can take this ’authority identity,’" He Ao said softly, "to ’request assistance’ from Ains’s Federal Bureau of Investigation. The ’request for assistance’ from such high authority personnel must be supported by Ains’s Federal Bureau of Investigation, and they can also call upon the items of Ains Federal Bureau of Investigation."
"Can it be operated like this?" Vigina widened her eyes.
"This itself is actually a ’hidden usage’ of ’suspension without stopping authority,’" He Ao said casually, "Why do you think there is such an operation as ’suspension without stopping authority’?"
"To deal with my current situation?" Vigina hesitantly spoke, "But this situation seems too unique..."
"Yes," He Ao nodded slightly, "this operation is actually mostly used to facilitate so special employees to execute ’special tasks.’"
He continued, "In the state of suspension, the Federal Bureau of Investigation intranet cannot locate personal records, unless you actively report your Federal Bureau of Investigation work number. Neither the city governnt nor the City Defense Army can directly find information about your employnt."
"Is this equivalent to ’hiding’ the Federal Bureau of Investigation identity?" Vigina said thoughtfully, "And not stopping authority allows those who are ’suspended’ to still access Federal Bureau of Investigation resources in ergency situations."
She clapped her hands slightly, "So that’s how it is, such a clever design, so calling for ’assistance’ this ’rule’ extends from here too?"
"Yes," He Ao nodded slightly, "it actually also extends to another ’convention,’ which is that those who are in a ’suspended but not stopped authority’ state cannot order other Federal Bureau of Investigation agents to perform tasks, but they can ’execute tasks’ themselves."
He looked at Vigina, "And this task is decided by the executor themselves. If the task is ’recognized’ by the uppermost level later, then it is ’compliant.’"
"There’s such a thing?" Vigina paused for a mont and then got a bit excited, "So, in reality, I can still act with my Federal Bureau of Investigation identity? And it’s equivalent to having so ’discretionary power’ to act, to take certain actions directly without going through approval from above?"
"But it needs to be ’recognized’ afterwards." He Ao reminded.
"I know, so the final interpretation right is still in Ains’s hands." Vigina stood up, rubbing her palms, "It seems like being ’suspended’ has instead granted so kind of ’freedom of action’ authority, so it’s not really a bad thing?"
She looked up at He Ao, "I feel you have a deep understanding of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, even more than I do as a deputy director."
"Just happened to know so friends at the Federal Bureau of Investigation." He Ao said casually.
"Then your friend must be impressive, probably the director general," Vigina said playfully with a smile.
Then she said sowhat puzzled, "But if the one arranging for to co over is indeed the director general, why didn’t she just refuse to suspend ? Could it be that the ’forces’ wanting to suspend are also not directly conflicting?"
"It’s possible," He Ao nodded gently and then continued, "but in a certain sense, this ’arrangent’ is also conveying another ssage to us."
"Ah? What ssage?" Vigina looked at He Ao.
"He’s reminding us," He Ao looked up once more to the bustling city outside the window, slowly standing, "that we should leave Denno City."
