Don't follow the rules

Chapter 552: Cross Flower Church (XV)

buzz
Ning Yao and An Han were still arguing passionately when their cell phones started vibrating again at an inopportune time. This time, it wasn't just Ning Yao who was vibrating, but An Han as well. The two of them stopped immediately, looked at each other with a little vigilance, and immediately took out their cell phones.

[After preliminary investigation by the Discipline Inspection Committee of the Rules Supervision Association, Jiang Yingying, the captain of the Second Detachment of the Field Affairs Department, is suspected of violating Article 27 and Article 39 of the "Regulations on Internal Disciplinary Actions of the Rules Supervision Association", and has serious disciplinary violations such as malicious dereliction of duty, abuse of public power, and disobedience to superior orders. After consultation with the command center, the Discipline Inspection Committee decided to take unpaid leave measures against Comrade Jiang Yingying, suspend her current position and all powers, and give her a three-month deadline to cooperate with the disciplinary review and supervision investigation. During the investigation, all team affairs will be fully handled by Guo Yidan, the acting head of the Field Affairs Department.]
"Captain Jiang was suspended?!" An Han's pupils dilated.

"How could there be someone named 'Hu Ci'er'?!" Ning Yao was also shocked.

Chun Yukong pinched his frowning brows and said, "Not only is the key point wrong, but the three words are all pronounced wrong."

The three of them were confused in their own thoughts for a few minutes, but finally calmed down and sat down at the same table.

"I guess it's that troublesome and capable good guy," Ning Yao punched the table, "It's definitely him!"

"Do we need to guess?" Chun Yukong held onto the table. "Isn't it all written in the notice? All the benefits of Yingying's suspension will fall on him. Who else could it be except him?"

"Actually..." An Han said hesitantly, "Although Minister Guo is most likely the instigator of this incident, the person who really wants Captain Jiang to be suspended should be in the command center or someone higher up."

Ning Yao leaned over with his head tilted, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Oh? You seem to have some inside information? Tell me~"

The temporary table they found was small, and the three of them were already sitting very close to each other. Ning Yao's breath almost sprayed on An Han's face, shocking An Han so much that he subconsciously pulled his elbow away from the table in panic, and was forced to sit up straight: "No, it's not inside information, just some of my own observations...too close, Brother Ning, too close..."

A powerful slap hit Ning Yao's back of the head, causing him to stagger forward and almost fall on An Han. Ning Yao covered his head and looked back at Chunyu Kong. He felt his head buzzing and could even hear water sloshing in his ears.

Chun Yukong sneered: "No need to thank me, I just gave you a helping hand."

"You, you, why did you hit someone for no reason?! And you didn't even use any strength in your attack." An Han was shocked at first, but when he realized what was happening, he was so angry that his nose was smoking. He held the dizzy Ning Yao with both hands, turned around and angrily accused this external employee who came from nowhere.

Chun Yukong leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms over his chest, raised one eyebrow, and nodded provocatively: "I did not know how to use the right strength. I was able to make this guy stand up with just one blow. It seems that I am too soft-hearted."

"You! Ugh!" An Han wanted to say something, but Ning Yao forced him to shut up.

Ning Yao: "Brother An, please stop talking. I still cherish my life."

"Stop talking nonsense?" Chunyu Kong asked.

"I am a serious man." Ning Yao stood straight, head held high, eyes bright, lips pressed into a straight line, looking evilly righteous.

Chun Yukong rolled his eyes and snorted "tsk" from his nose, which was considered to be turning the page. "Please tell me more about your observations, An... Teacher An." Chun Yukong was actually very uncomfortable with calling An Han like this, but it seemed that keeping a more distant social distance from them could more effectively prevent An Han from being stressed - to avoid stimulating his tea art instinct.

An Han pushed up his glasses that had slipped down his nose. "Recently, the association's top management has been issuing new regulations very frequently, which is rare. Because the Rules Supervision Association is not a bloated organization, we already have a very mature management system and the departments are streamlined enough. Although there are many rules, there are few changes, and even fewer new ones. The issuance of new rules on such a large scale makes me reasonably suspect that there have been changes in the upper management, and they are not good changes."

Chun Yukong frowned: "Why do you think so?"

"These new regulations are always inconsistent. Some were issued just now and then became invalid within a few hours. Some regulations are rambling and incomprehensible. Some are simply in conflict with the original rules of the association... In short, this is definitely not something that a unified leadership would do."

"Although we have no idea what's going on, anyone with a little sense can sense that the higher-ups are trying to seize power." An Han finished speaking in one breath. It was obvious that he had been holding these words in his heart for a long time, suffering from the lack of a suitable person to talk to.

"Seize power?" Ning Yao was puzzled. "What do you mean by seizing power? A third-rate underground association that no one knows about is trying to seize the throne?"

Chun Yukong, however, remained silent, contrary to his usual behavior.

Ning Yao looked at him with amusement: "Hey, hey, hey, you're kidding, Akong. You really dare to believe what he said? Even if these people seize power, what can they do? Contract the publishing rights of ghost stories in Zhenxing City? A 30-square-meter office is not enough for them to be so active, right? It's so embarrassing. If Du Jingxiu next door knew about this, he would laugh to death!"

An Han, who was standing by, felt upset when he heard this, but he could only speak in a very low voice in a sarcastic tone: "Akong? You're calling me that so intimately, eh!"

An Han fell down softly. Ning Yao covered the back of his head in fear: "Hiss~ This time... did you get the strength right?"

Chun Yukong retracted his knife and squinted at him: "Oh, you still have time to worry about others?"

Ning Yao, knowing that he was in the wrong, shut up and spoke angrily.

"It's not convenient for An Han to know what we are going to say next, but I'm too lazy to find any excuse to get him away, so I might as well knock him out - don't worry, he has been trained by Yingying, this amount of force won't hurt him, at most he'll just have a concussion." Chunyu Kong sat back in his seat, Ning Yao quickly followed, picked up a footstool and sat down next to him.

"I have to admit that An Han's inference actually makes sense." Chunyu Kong said.

Ning Yao opened his mouth, as if he had a lot of complaints to rant about, but in the end he chose to shut his mouth and listen to what the other person had to say.

Chun Yukong was very satisfied with Ning Yao's understanding. He paused and continued, "I have been working in the association for so long, but I have almost never come into contact with their so-called real 'high-level' people. Even in the command center, I only have close contact with my direct leader Rao Ying."

"Of course, I didn't deny their existence. In fact, I tend to believe that they do exist. After all, I learned from Rao Ying that she had a clear agreement and interests with this group of senior executives. But because this group of people will not have a direct story with me, they were not 'loaded' into my dreams in the past timeline."

"Now, the fortune teller Rao Ying and my horoscope are out of the control of the association, and my own existence has been cut off. The top leaders have forgotten their original goal, which means that the Rules Supervision Association has completely lost the blessing of "divinity". They are now human beings, and human desires are beginning to awaken. Internal power seizure is likely to be upgraded to their top priority."
