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

After saying that, Ma Xiaolian quickly looked at Tu Yuan:

"By the way! Tu Yuan, what did you just say to that guy He Chengjun?!"

"Given He Chengjun's personality, he would normally act like a coward when handling such a case."

"But why are you so tough today? Did arresting Director Yang embolden you?"

Tu Yuan hadn't answered yet.

A voice rang out.

"Tu Yuan, Ma Xiaolian, you're both here! Come on! We have a police call, come with me!"

Tu Yuan put down his water glass and stood up calmly.

"They're here!"

Ma Xiaolian stood up and muttered under her breath:

"Damn it! It's the two of us again! They really treat us like cattle!"

"Damn it, Wang Hai only went out on one call today. I just saw him going to the household registration office to deliver milk tea to a female colleague."

"With his looks, no one would ever want him, no matter what you give him!"

Despite praising Wang Hai, Ma Xiaolian still ended up on the duty roster for the office.

Ma Xiaolian now finds fault with everything about Wang Hai.

However, Ma Xiaolian would only say these things to his face.

Ma Xiaolian usually wouldn't say that when other people were around.

However, after making that comment, Ma Xiaolian looked up and her displeasure had disappeared.

Instead, he said in a relaxed and cheerful tone:

"Brother Ding! Coming right now!"

Within the federal government, everything is determined by one's own strength and rank.

Even if you're dissatisfied because you're not as good as others in terms of position or ability, you can't show it.

Although the regular police officers who called them out of the station did not hold a leadership position.

However, when carrying out police duties, regular police officers have a duty to supervise and guide probationary police officers.

Based on this alone, if one were to express dissatisfaction...

Afterwards, people can nitpick when carrying out tasks, and when writing case handling reports to their superiors, they can take the opportunity to make false accusations.

Some methods are disgusting to people.

A day passed quickly.

When Tu Yuan returned home that evening, he felt quite tired.

Keep in mind that he only has a dozen or so progress points left to become a first-class martial artist.

The threshold for fatigue in their bodies is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Even so, he felt tired after a day's work.

Tu Yuan sat on the living room sofa to rest for a while and petted the cat.

Only then did he begin practicing the body-strengthening method.

After an hour of practice, my progress didn't increase.

Although I knew that the effects of the Azure Dragon No. 9 medicine had worn off, I still felt a sense of disappointment when I actually started cultivating it and found that there was no progress.

My cultivation progress has increased by more than 30 points in the past two days, approaching 40 points.

Now that he's back to his previous cultivation speed, this stark contrast makes it difficult for Tu Yuan, who considers himself to have a strong mental fortitude, to avoid feeling strangely uncomfortable.

In that instant, Tu Yuan even considered using the 25,000 Federal Credits his mother had left him to buy medicine.

He was also a little regretful, wishing he had taken Li He's payment.

The payment hasn't been received, and there's been absolutely no word from Director Zhang Tao.

However, these thoughts were immediately cut off by Tu Yuan.

Those 25,000 federal dollars are definitely untouchable.

He needs to set aside some money for emergencies.

As for Li He's payment, he would still refuse if given the chance again.

If he accepts, then theoretically, the matter of him helping Li He find the black ball will be settled.

Nobody owes anyone anything.

Compared to five thousand federal dollars, Li He's personal connections are more important.

The seeds have been planted; just wait patiently for them to sprout.

Clearing his mind of distractions, Tu Yuan shook his head helplessly.

"It is truly easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality."

After saying that, Tu Yuan went into the bathroom.

Take a shower, then go to sleep!

Early the next morning.

Tu Yuan trained for an hour as usual, but his cultivation progress remained unchanged.

However, he was already mentally prepared, so he no longer felt that sense of loss.

Tu Yuan then reviewed today's intelligence.

[Zhang Tao, the director of Zhenghe Police Station, successfully broke through the first-level bottleneck of martial arts at his mistress Li He's residence at 10 pm last night, becoming a second-level early-stage martial artist.]

I saw this intelligence.

Tu Yuan's eyes narrowed.

Director Zhang Tao has broken through to become a second-tier martial artist?!

With this level of ability, Zhang Tao is already qualified to be promoted further!

After all, Zhang Tao was previously a first-tier peak martial artist.

This level of ability puts him among the top performers at the level of a local police station chief.

Most of the local police station chiefs are only at the late stage of the first rank, and some are even at the mid stage of the first rank.

A second-tier martial artist is far beyond the standard strength required for the position of a police station chief, and can even be compared to the strength level of some leaders in the Xingsheng District Police Station.

Moreover, breaking through each realm of martial arts is not so easy.

In this world, the probability of a martial artist failing to break through to a higher realm is not low.

If the breakthrough fails, it will severely damage one's vitality, and one's strength will regress instead of improve.

Even if one recovers well, it will be more difficult to break through to a higher realm again, and the probability of success will be even lower.

Therefore, most martial artists are extremely cautious about making breakthroughs.

"Director Zhang chose to break through the first level of martial arts bottleneck at Li He's house, which shows that he has extreme trust in Li He."

"A second-tier martial artist? I'm afraid Zhang won't be in his position as the head of the Zhenghe Police Station for long."

"With his improved skills and connections in the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Director Zhang will definitely be promoted."

Thinking of this, Tu Yuan felt a pang of emotion.

It is said that in martial arts, each level represents a new realm.

In Shengyun City, with a population of nearly five million, there are probably no more than a thousand second-tier martial artists.

After reading the intelligence, Tu Yuan headed towards Zhenghe Police Station.

After having breakfast in the institute's canteen, I returned to the main office.

After taking only two steps, Tu Yuan sensed that the atmosphere in the large office was unusual.

Normally, the large office on the first floor should be noisy at this time in the morning.

Today, however, it was rather quiet.

Even when people are talking, they do so in hushed tones, as if afraid of disturbing someone.

Not long after Tu Yuan walked to his desk, Ma Xiaolian followed him in.

After Ma Xiaolian sat down next to Tu Yuan.

Ma Xiaolian leaned her head closer to Tu Yuan, covering her mouth with her right hand, leaving only a small gap on the side facing Tu Yuan.

"Hey! This morning, some people from the Xingsheng branch came over, wanting to take away those debt collectors we arrested yesterday."

"As a result, Officer Sun came out and directly rebuffed him!"

"After Director Zhang arrived, Director Sun went into Director Zhang's office and hasn't come out yet."

"Those people yesterday said that their company boss's second uncle is Wang Qiang, the director of the branch office."

"Surname Sun actually dared to stand up to the deputy director of the branch office, that's really impressive!"

"I heard that the leader who promoted Sun Suo is Director Yin Shenghai of the branch bureau, who is in charge of police support, internal security, public security squadron, investigation squadron, and technical squadron."

"I think this must have been authorized by Director Yin, otherwise Director Sun would not have been so forceful."

"This matter is probably not over yet!"

"Director Wang sent people over, but they were driven back by Chief Sun. If he doesn't get his revenge, his prestige in the branch office will probably be affected."

Just as Ma Xiaolian was speaking.

He Chengjun appeared at the entrance of the main office.

"Ma Xiaolian, Tu Yuan, Yu Lili, come with me for a moment! Chief Zhang wants to see us!"
