Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Wang Yue was speechless.

He never expected Kong Xing to say such a thing...

He Li's credit is not something anyone can claim.

Are you really not afraid of having the fortune to use it but not being able to?

Or do people like Kong Xing and other powerful figures from Kyoto naively believe that they can stand on the moral high ground and reason with He Li to persuade him?

Or do they use their power or authority to oppress others?

Wang Yue really wanted to advise these people to stop doing this, but now he had completely understood what was going on.

No one could persuade Kong Xing and the others.

This can be seen from what Kong Xing just said.

After all, if there are any concerns in one's heart...

Anyone who has even a little fear of reason...

Kong Xing would not be like before, not only indifferent to suppressing others, but also brazenly taking credit for He Li's achievements.

"These people are beyond saving!"

Wang Yue sighed inwardly, but aloud he didn't offer any further advice, only offering a few words of reminder to Kong Xing...

"Master Kong, He Li is different from others."

"You should know something about him as well."

"If you insist on doing it this way, I will not stop you."

"I can't stop you either, but I hope you haven't forgotten what Shanghai was like before, and who single-handedly turned Shanghai upside down..."

Upon hearing this, a hint of unease flashed in Kong Xing's cloudy eyes, but it was quickly replaced by contempt.

"Xiao Wang, why do you speak so highly of him?"

"Just because of what happened in Shanghai?"

Kong Xing shook his head: "Xiao Wang, if that's really the case, it means your ideological awareness is still lacking."

"How can you be so biased towards someone just because of their occasional outstanding performance? What I did this time was for everyone's benefit, yet you've repeatedly tried to obstruct it!"

"Let's talk about things in Shanghai."

"Kyoto was already aware of the situation in Shanghai and had plans to deal with it."

"It's just that the top-level investigators were all busy at the time and didn't have time to deal with it, which gave He Li the opportunity. It's not that we really couldn't solve this problem."

Ah yes, yes, you're right.

Wang Yue lowered his head, too lazy to refute.

He knew perfectly well what the situation was like in Shanghai at that time.

Even if top-level investigators weren't busy, they probably wouldn't dare to get involved in this matter.

The main reason is that the power in Shanghai is deeply entrenched and has connections with many bigwigs in Kyoto, so anyone else would have concerns about not being able to get anything done.

Only He Li can resolve this matter.

Now that the matter has been resolved, Kong Xing can certainly say that they were able to resolve it under the circumstances at the time.

If we could turn back time and let them choose again...

This time, let them send their own people...

Just see if he's willing or not!

Wang Yue inwardly scoffed. Seeing Wang Yue remain silent, he assumed he had rendered Wang Yue speechless. A smug look appeared on his face as he leisurely sipped his tea...

"In short, Xiao Wang, you can appreciate He Li, but don't idolize him too much."

"Moreover, he has a strong sense of individual heroism."

"I've heard about what happened in the Middle Realm from Kong Xinxi and the others."

"I have to criticize him here."

"Although he has the ability, going to the Middle Realm is everyone's business. How can he abandon everyone else and go alone to deal with those Qi Refiners sweeping up the Blazing Sun Sect's buildings?"

"Leaving aside what would happen if danger were to occur, his actions would likely cause dissatisfaction among many."

"After all, the Blazing Sun Sect holds many treasures."

"Others will inevitably suspect him of stealing."

As he spoke, Kong Xing frowned and said, "Regarding this, when he comes back, have him come to the bureau to write a self-criticism. Also, we need to deal with whether he stole anything."

"It's good that he didn't take it."

"If he took it, he must be dealt with; otherwise, if everyone follows suit, where will the rules be?"

Huh? Are you crazy??

Wang Yue's eyelids twitched wildly.

Ren Heli ventured alone into the Middle Realm, painstakingly conquering the Blazing Sun Sect, the Qi Refining Sect of the Middle Realm, and giving up most of its resources for other martial artists and awakened individuals.

You didn't intend to praise them, but you actually planned to make them come over and write a self-criticism for you?

What's even more outrageous is that you want to use him as a typical example...

No one is allowed to take the spoils of war privately?

Even if you're courting death, you shouldn't do this!

Wang Yue was completely stunned, and he looked at Kong Xing as if he were a fool.

Although he was very clear that Kong Xing had these thoughts mostly because the resources he brought back from the Middle Realm were too good and too many, and Kong Xing wanted to embezzle and monopolize them, which was why he was so brainless.

He has been blinded by greed.

But these are management personnel from Kyoto; they were reportedly high-ranking officials in the Kyoto headquarters.

The reason he came here...

It seems that he was demoted and sent here to manage things because of something, but... how does this old man behave like a manager in a high position?

This is clearly an old and greedy pig.

Wang Yue began to have doubts...

Was Kong Xing able to rise so high because of some behind-the-scenes manipulation by the Kong family?

Otherwise, how could someone like that climb so high?

He simply doesn't believe it.

However, it doesn't matter what the other party does.

Wang Yue was now absolutely certain that Kong Xing and his gang would never leave Shanghai alive, and He Li would never let go of someone who treated him like a pushover.

Thinking of this, Wang Yue dared not get too involved with people like Kong Xing anymore.

He was afraid that Kong Xing would be covered in blood when he was beaten to death.

So he lost interest in listening to Kong Xing's continued nonsense.

He simply said, "Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

"You're right. You're in charge here. You don't need to notify me if you have any instructions or requests. Just do it yourself. I have other things to do, so I won't stay here any longer."

"Farewell!" he said, and fled at lightning speed.

Kong Xing was displeased upon seeing this, after all, Wang Yue's tone had been full of sarcasm.

But they've already left...

He didn't pay much attention to such a trivial matter.

Compared to Wang Yue's sarcastic remarks, Kong Xing was more concerned about how to allocate the remaining resources within the Zhongjie Lie Ri Sect, since many families had already given him gifts.

This needs to be carefully considered.

There are also those Lie Ri Sect cultivators sent by Wu Qiu who need to be interrogated.

Those people possess the methods of cultivating immortality...

Kong Xing was also envious.

However, just as he was pondering these things, the hurried footsteps coming from the doorway interrupted his thoughts, which annoyed Kong Xing so much that he looked up and prepared to scold him.

However, upon seeing the anxious young man rushing in, Kong Xing suppressed his displeasure...

"Ah Jie? What's the rush?"

Kong Xing asked in confusion.

The young man opposite him was named Kong Jie, and he was Kong Jie's nephew.

He arranged for me to get in through connections.

Upon hearing Kong Xing's question, Kong Jie quickly replied, "Uncle Xing, you should go out and see! Those peasants have been instigated into causing trouble by those investigators from Shu Prefecture!"

"More and more people are participating..."

"If you don't go and keep things under control, something terrible might happen!"

"What?!?!"

Upon hearing this, Kong Xing suddenly stood up.

"What exactly happened?" he asked Kong Jie, frowning as he walked out of the room.

The latter's eyes flickered as he weakly said, "It's just... those peasants think there's something wrong with the people we selected to enter the Middle Realm, saying we're doing things behind the scenes and deliberately suppressing them..."

"In short, they just don't want to follow orders."

"And they wouldn't listen when we went up to persuade them."

"A minor conflict occurred at the end."

"And then they escalated the situation..."

A minor conflict? Upon hearing Kong Jie's words, Kong Xing knew without a doubt that Kong Jie was lying.

He knew what kind of person Kong Jie was.

This guy was a playboy in Kyoto. The reason his father brought him here to stay with him was because his father wanted Kong Jie to have something to do and stop his life of debauchery.

This so-called minor conflict... is probably another fight caused by him abusing his power to bully others?

And he just said they went to persuade other people...

What kind of persuasion? Most likely, it's just taking action.

Those peasants were already dissatisfied.

It's no wonder there was a commotion after that fight.

Thinking of this, Kong Xing glared fiercely at Kong Jie, who was so guilty he didn't dare to look up: "A minor conflict? Do you really think I, as your uncle, don't know what kind of person you are?"

"Uncle Xing, I..." Kong Jie wanted to say something more.

Kong Xing waved his hand: "Alright, enough nonsense."

"The main focus now is on dealing with the problem. As for your situation... you can talk to your dad about it yourself later!"

As he spoke, he quickened his pace.

Judging from his tone, he clearly had no intention of dealing with Kong Jie.

The latter, of course, understood, and no longer worried about things escalating, he simply followed with a grin. When they arrived outside, they discovered it was already packed with people…
