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

At 7:30 a.m., the alarm clock woke Tu Yuan from his sleep.

This time, Tu Yuan did not choose to use the morning to cultivate.

Advanced martial artists all need a certain amount of sleep to rest and recover.

He is now just a martial arts performer, so he can sleep less than ordinary people, but he can't just sleep one or two hours a day.

Although Tu Yuan still felt energetic when he woke up.

However, he knew that the medication was suppressing the body's response to fatigue due to its restorative effects.

Wash and groom the cat, add food, and give Huru clean drinking water.

I glanced at today's intelligence; it wasn't very valuable.

However, Tu Yuan still recorded it down, just in case he might need it someday.

Tu Yuan left home and headed towards Zhenghe Police Station.

The canteen at Zhenghe Police Station was relatively quiet today, with a somewhat somber and somber atmosphere.

The news of Zheng Hai and Ma Xingbao's murders should have been widely known in the police station by last night.

After all, the two died within the jurisdiction of the Zhenghe Police Station, and the first to arrive at the scene were the police officers from the Zhenghe Police Station.

Therefore, this news could not be kept secret at all.

Tu Yuan's expression today was serious with a hint of heaviness.

Of course, his sense of heaviness was not feigned, but genuinely present.

Today's breakfast was very simple. Tu Yuan took four meat buns and a cup of soy milk and found a seat in the cafeteria.

He had only been sitting down for a few minutes when Ma Xiaolian came and sat down opposite him with her breakfast tray.

"Brother Yuan!"

Ma Xiaolian called out respectfully, and Tu Yuan simply hummed in response, nodding slightly.

The two then ate their breakfast in silence.

There was hardly any chatting in the cafeteria today; at most, people were greeting each other, and everyone was speaking in hushed tones.

Soon, Ma Xiaolian and Tu Yuan finished their breakfast and walked out of the cafeteria together.

After stepping out of the cafeteria, Ma Xiaolian said in a low voice:

"Brother Yuan, is it true that Commander Zheng's... cavalry is all gone?!"

"Yes, Director Zhang asked me to go to the scene yesterday."

Ma Xiaolian was on night duty last week, but this week she basically doesn't need to stay at the police station at night.

Hearing Tu Yuan say this, Ma Xiaolian raised her head slightly, her eyes filled with a mixture of shock and envy.

The shock came from Tu Yuan's visit to the scene, and the envy stemmed from the fact that Zhang would immediately call upon Tu Yuan whenever he encountered such a situation.

At this moment, Ma Xiaolian glanced around to make sure no one was around.

He spoke in a lower voice:

"Brother Yuan! I heard that after Zheng and Ma were killed, last night, Shen and Sun invited a few people out for a late-night snack."

"I think they might be discussing how to proceed with the work under Zheng's supervision."

"I think this information should be useful to you. As for Director Zhang..."

Ma Xiaolian stopped there and didn't continue.

Upon hearing this, Tu Yuan glanced at Ma Xiaolian with surprise.

How could they find out about something like this?!

Ma Xiaolian's talent for gathering information is truly remarkable.

Tu Yuan's heart sank when he thought of the meeting Zhang Tao was scheduled to attend that morning.

It's unlikely that this personnel adjustment will be implemented smoothly according to Zhang Tao's ideas.

From Zhang Tao's perspective, the Zhenghe Police Station has been plagued by troubles lately, and things haven't been going well for him.

First, Yang Yunwei was investigated and then transferred to a border post.

Then the head of the finance office and Zhang Tao's own assistant officer were also taken away by the inspectors.

The investigation is still ongoing, and no news has been released yet.

Then Zheng Hai and Ma Xingbao were murdered.

Each and every one of these incidents occurred within the last two weeks.

If at this time, another incident of disunity within the leadership of the Zhenghe Public Security Bureau were to occur.

And then the higher-ups find out.

Even though Zhang Tao is already a second-tier martial artist, it will probably have a negative impact on his future advancement.

After all, once you're promoted, the concept of a powerful department and a peripheral department is completely different.

It's likely that Sun Guangrong and Shen Xin knew Zhang Tao was facing this predicament.

That's why they had the idea of ​​taking advantage of this opportunity to promote their own people to the top.

"Indeed, under the federal government's system, everyone is living in multiple predicaments."

"Even if Zhang Tao has an absolute advantage in strength and power, he will still be hampered in this situation."

"I wonder how Zhang Tao will handle this predicament? He will most likely have to make some concessions and compromises."

Tu Yuan thought to himself.

"I understand! Don't tell anyone else about this!"

"Be careful not to let someone with ulterior motives overhear."

Tu Yuan whispered a reminder to Ma Xiaolian.

"I know! I've only told you about this, Brother Yuan; I haven't told anyone else!"

"Brother Yuan, I'm going back to my office now. If there's any further news, I'll contact you via chat."

"Okay! Go ahead!"

Ma Xiaolian then walked towards the large office on the first floor.

Tu Yuan then walked towards the director's office on the second floor.

As before, Tu Yuan cleaned Zhang Tao's office thoroughly, and seeing that the water dispenser was empty, he went and brought over a bottle to replace it.

Then plug in the power and boil water.

Zhang Tao has a habit of unplugging office appliances every day after get off work.

Previously, a unit in Shengyun had experienced a fire caused by aging electrical plugs, which destroyed many important documents.

Tu Yuan then returned to the command center.

Zhang Tao arrived earlier than usual today, just a few minutes after Tu Yuan returned to the command center.

Zhang Tao walked past the entrance of the integrated command center.

It's only 8:45 now.

Tu Yuan then received a notification from Zhang Tao, instructing him to go to the main conference room and prepare the necessary materials for the meeting in advance.

At 9:15, Zhang Tao issued a meeting notice.

The deputy director, instructor Si, the station's security team, patrol team, investigation team, reserve team, and other heads of offices of all sizes are to have a meeting in the main conference room at 9:30.

Nine-thirty arrived in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the conference room of Zhenghe Police Station was already full of people.

The seat at the head of the conference table, Zhang Tao's, was empty; Zhang Tao hadn't arrived yet. To the left of the head of the table sat Instructor Xu Zhanqing, and to the right sat Sun Guangrong, with Shen Xin sitting next to him.

Besides these few people, the conference table was filled with the captains and vice-captains of several teams.

There are also key office personnel such as the director of the integrated command center.

Everyone else was sitting in chairs placed against the wall.

After one round, there were more than ten people.

Tu Yuan was also sitting in a seat against the wall, and the person sitting in front of him was Instructor Xu Zhanqing.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy and oppressive.

At this moment, Tu Yuan felt Sun Guangrong's gaze sweep over him with an ambiguous meaning as he looked at Xu Zhanqing.

At this moment, Zhang Tao slowly strolled in from the conference room door.

Taking advantage of this moment, Sun Guangrong looked at Tu Yuan and said with a forced smile:

"Comrade Xiao Tu is truly outstanding. Even as a trainee police officer, he is able to attend important meetings of the station alongside so many elite officers."

"Truly, the older generation surpasses the younger, and each wave is higher than the last."

Hearing Sun Guangrong's blatant attempt to flatter him to death, Tu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

He never expected that before the meeting even started, Sun Guangrong's first shot would be aimed at him.

He attended the meeting as Assistant Police Officer Zhang Tao, a fact that everyone present knew perfectly well.

At this point, Sun Guangrong only mentioned his status as a trainee police officer, which sounded like a compliment, but anyone with discerning eyes could see that it was a veiled criticism.

Tu Yuan is Zhang Tao's assistant police officer. To belittle Tu Yuan is to belittle Zhang Tao!

Sun Guangrong also showed everyone a tough stance, indicating that he, Sun Guangrong, was not afraid of Zhang Tao.

This made many people present tense and their nerves tighten; this meeting was unlikely to be peaceful.

For Tu Yuan, Sun Guangrong's words were like putting him on the hot seat.

Although everyone knew he was Zhang Tao's assistant police officer, it was inevitable that some people would harbor resentment towards him for sitting and standing alongside people who were often second- or third-level police officers.
