Intelligence updates daily; I achieve sainthood in the martial arts of the public service.

Li He walked out of the room.

Compared to when she met Tu Yuan, Li He had changed her clothes.

Black low-cut, tight-fitting dress, the skirt not exceeding the knee.

Although Li He is not the type of woman with a large bust.

But with this outfit, the touch of snow-white skin on her chest is enough to catch people's attention.

Often, women with average looks can significantly enhance their appearance by putting effort into their clothing and grooming.

Li He was well aware that her appearance was somewhat inferior to that of other women.

However, she cannot allow this gap to widen; she needs to find ways to narrow it.

So every time Zhang Tao called to come over, she would dress up and put on makeup carefully.

This not only makes up for her ordinary appearance, but also makes Zhang Tao feel that she cares about and values ​​her.

After all, women dress up for those who appreciate them.

If you meet a woman and she's dressed casually, it just means she has no feelings for you and doesn't want to show her best side.

Li He wore a gentle smile:

"It was found with someone's help today! I have to thank you, Brother Tao!"

Zhang Tao squatted down and stroked the black ball's head. Hearing Li He's words, he asked with a smile:

"I didn't help get the black ball back, so why is it thanks to me?"

"Because the person who brought the black ball back was a trainee officer at your police station. He's one of your men. If it's not thanks to you, then whose good fortune is it?"

Li He's eyes sparkled like a gentle spring breeze, carrying a hint of subtle affection.

When Zhang Tao met Li He's gaze, the air seemed to become somewhat ambiguous.

However, Zhang Tao wasn't in the mood for that today, as Yang Yunwei had recently been taken away for investigation.

His job as director wasn't easy either, since Yang Yunwei was one of his deputies, and they worked together.

If the people below are corrupt, how can the director bear no responsibility at all?

So for the past two days, he has been trying to find out information.

What annoyed him even more was that Yang Yunwei was caught red-handed by officers from his own station.

The mastermind behind it all was Sun Guangrong.

Sun Guangrong is the deputy director of Zhenghe Police Station, and also the person with the most power in Zhenghe Police Station besides himself.

Sun Guangrong is in charge of the security team, the investigation team, the general command center, and other matters.

Zhang Tao had never been too wary of Sun Guangrong before, because Sun Guangrong had always been quite compliant with him and rarely disagreed.

This sudden turn of events made him realize that the Zhenghe Police Station was not actually under his control as he had thought.

Although the conflict between the two deputy directors was not a bad thing for him.

Moreover, he didn't really like Yang Yunwei.

If it weren't for Yang Yunwei having connections in the Xingsheng District branch...

He genuinely didn't want Yang Yunwei to serve as the deputy director of the Zhenghe Public Security Bureau.

Yang Yunwei wasn't the only one with security problems in Zhenghe, but he was the only one who acted without any moral compass.

He knew that Yang Yunwei had a peculiar habit of currying favor with a certain leader and using his power to oppress a couple. In the end, the couple had no choice but to comply with Yang Yunwei's wishes and go drinking with that leader.

That leader's peculiar habit was doing it in front of other women's husbands...

So you can guess what will happen during drinking!

Although he disapproved of it, he dared not offend that leader.

That's life; many things don't go according to one's own will.

Things not going as planned is the norm.

However, he was still uncomfortable with Sun Guangrong's actions this time; no one likes the feeling of things slipping out of their control.

Especially on their own little patch of land.

Zhang Tao suppressed the rising restlessness in his heart.

"It turns out it was a trainee officer from the station who found it!"

"But how is this thanks to me?"

"By the way, did you give them the payment?"

Zhang Tao got up, took off his shoes, and put on slippers.

Then I went into the living room.

The black ball kept wagging its tail and followed behind Zhang Tao.

The black ball was a gift from Zhang Tao to Li He, thinking that Li He usually lived here alone.

Having a dog means you won't be so lonely.

Therefore, the black ball has a special significance for Li He.

The loss of the black ball was like a bad omen for Li He, which is why she offered such a high reward on the lost dog notice.

Li He got up and followed behind Zhang Tao.

She laughed:

"I'd like to give it to them! But they absolutely refuse!"

"If you ask me, I'd say you're truly remarkable, leading your men with such fairness and impartiality!"

Upon hearing Li He's words, Zhang Tao turned his head in surprise.

He had a good understanding of the probationary police officers in his local police station.

He remembered a few families that were relatively well-off.

As for the others, they couldn't possibly look down on a reward of five thousand federal dollars.

Leaving aside benefits, a trainee police officer's monthly take-home pay is only four thousand.

Five thousand federal dollars is not a small amount of money for a trainee police officer, especially for martial arts practitioners, where having money or not makes a world of difference!

"You can refuse a reward of five thousand?! Do you even know what that trainee police officer is called?"

Zhang Tao did not suspect that Li He was lying to save 5,000 yuan, as he knew Li He's character well.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get together with Li He.

"I asked his name, and he said it was Tu Yuan. He's quite handsome and tall."

"He's only slightly inferior to you, Brother Tao."

"Tu Yuan?!"

Zhang Tao tried to recall any memories of the name, but aside from feeling that it was somewhat familiar, he couldn't recall any other information.

After all, there are so many trainee police officers in the station, and he is usually busy with work, martial arts training, and building relationships. How could he possibly remember everyone under him clearly?

However, Zhang Tao was certain that Tu Yuan's family background was definitely not very good.

Otherwise, he wouldn't only have a simple impression.

It wasn't that he only had eyes for trainee officers from wealthy families, but rather that only those trainee officers had the opportunity to appear in front of him and leave an impression.

Without family connections or anyone to help or support them at the institute, it's often impossible to have direct contact with leaders.

Only by showing your face in front of the leader and making the leader remember your name will you have a chance to be remembered when the leader wants to promote someone.

If your superiors don't even know your name, how can you expect to gain their appreciation and promotion for no reason?

What boss would promote someone they don't even remember?!

While capable people will naturally leave an impression on their superiors, in reality, there are often many times when you are not given the opportunity to demonstrate your abilities.

Moreover, being highly capable is not necessarily a good thing. If you encounter a leader with average abilities, being highly capable will only arouse the leader's suspicion and apprehension.

Observing Zhang Tao's expression, Li He knew that Zhang Tao had made an impression on Tu Yuan, so she didn't say anything more and left it at that.

Although Tu Yuan did not accept her payment, she would be happy to help in any other way she could, as long as it wasn't too troublesome.

Especially since it's something that can be said casually and doesn't require much effort from her, why not do it?

Moreover, Tu Yuan left a very good impression on her.

Even if Tu Yuan accepts the payment, she will still find an opportunity to mention Tu Yuan's name in front of Zhang Tao, but she may not say it in detail.

Li He then changed the subject.

On the other side, Tu Yuan, who had just drunk another bottle of Azure Dragon No. 9 potion, had skin that looked like a boiled shrimp.

Heat continuously seeped out from the pores of the skin.

The soreness in his muscles did not cause Tu Yuan's expression to change in the slightest.

Before we knew it, two hours had passed.

Tu Yuan stood still.

The progress of his cultivation slowly surfaced in his mind.
