Leaving Director Qian Yan's office, Wang Linchi had been promoted from a regular office worker to the office director.
However, upon thinking it over, it didn't feel like much of a change; it was just a position on paper. Other than an improved salary and benefits, he still had no real power.
Regarding recruiting new people, this would likely be difficult. After this incident with the Shadow Covenant, the entire Yi Ning Prefecture was in the midst of a thorough self-investigation.
Wang Linchi was lucky. As a victim, he was cleared of any suspicion.
Even Director Qian Yan himself was implicated. After all, if a shadow could infiltrate the Soul Seed Bureau, didn't that imply more shadows might still be lurking within?
