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

"No wonder Shen Xin, the deputy mayor's son, a 24-year-old martial artist, came to Zhenghe Police Station as the deputy director."

"This must have been Shen Yongli's plan."

"However, the fact that Shen Xin was assigned to the Zhenghe Police Station shows that Shen Yongli, the deputy mayor, is not ranked high among the members of the city's central leadership team; in fact, he is ranked quite low."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be more convenient to directly assign Shen Xin to one of the core departments in Xingsheng District responsible for the old city renovation project?!"

"It is estimated that their power could not reach those core departments, so they had no choice but to put Shen Xin into the public security system, and even eventually demote him to a grassroots public security department like Zhenghe Public Security Station."

"Or perhaps the person in the city's central leadership team who is mainly responsible for liaising with Xingsheng District doesn't get along with Shen Yongli, so they had no choice but to send Shen Xin to the grassroots level?"

Tu Yuan secretly speculated.

After all, his relationship with Shen Xin is now gradually becoming adversarial, just like it was back at Dongzhou University.

Of course, Shen Xin might still be just as dismissive of him as he was at Dongzhou University.

Seeing Fang Ming remain silent, Zhang Tao continued, "..."

"I plan to help you raise the money. Your merit points over the years are enough to qualify you to buy the protective liquid."

"This urban renewal project in Xingsheng District presents a tremendous opportunity!"

"Opportunity knocks but once!"

At the end, Zhang Tao's pronunciation became noticeably stronger.

Zhang Tao has already said this much.

Fang Ming naturally couldn't refuse anymore.

"Chief Zhang! I'll listen to you!"

"Director Zhang, you have helped me so much over the years. If it weren't for your trust and promotion, I, Fang Ming, would not be where I am today."

"I will definitely do my best in my work in the future to satisfy you, Director Zhang."

"I have another request, though I may be imposing. I hope that Director Zhang will provide me with more guidance and direction in the future, and give me clear guidance for my work!"

Fang Ming's words were profound and sincere.

Tu Yuan, who was standing to the side, was also seeing this side of Fang Ming for the first time.

Fang Ming's words may seem a bit cheesy, but sometimes leaders just fall for it.

Fang Ming's last words, in particular, were a declaration of loyalty.

Tu Yuan also saw a smile appear on Zhang Tao's face at this moment.

At this moment, Li He began to bring the dishes out of the kitchen.

"The food is ready! Come over here and let's eat and chat!"

The group then sat down at a table in the restaurant.

Li He prepared a huge table full of dishes.

Moreover, a large portion of them are hearty dishes.

Braised pork trotters with preserved mustard greens, braised chicken wings with chestnuts, braised beef with potatoes, spicy shrimp...

The aroma of the dishes filled the air.

"Come on, come on! Eat!"

"Tu Yuan, this is your first time here, please don't be shy!"

"Li He, bring out the bottle of Black Lotus Reserve medicinal wine that I kept in the bedroom."

After Zhang Tao sat down, he began to greet everyone.

The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually warmed up.

After several rounds of dishes and several drinks,

It was nearly nine o'clock in the evening.

A hint of intoxication rose in Tu Yuan's eyes, and his consciousness began to blur.

The medicinal wine that Zhang Tao took out had a mix of medicinal and alcoholic effects, and even Fang Ming, a peak second-stage martial artist, was slightly drunk after drinking it.

Not to mention Tu Yuan, who is only at the first level of martial arts.

Around 9 p.m., Tu Yuan and Fang Ming finished their dinner and left Zhang Tao's house.

After the two left.

Li He cleared the table, and Liu Ping volunteered to help.

After quickly getting ready, the two sat down in the living room.

The television was broadcasting Shengyun's evening news.

Zhang Tao took out a cigarette and slowly lit it.

At this moment, Liu Ping asked:

"Honey, are you really going to help Fang Ming raise money?!"

"You spent a lot of money to break through to the second level of martial arts, and we don't have much savings left in the family."

After taking a deep drag of his cigarette, Zhang Tao slowly began to speak:

"Helping him is helping myself!"

"Zheng Hai is dead, and Lao Xu's stance is now ambiguous."

"My relationship with Sun Guangrong is unlikely to improve in the short term, and Shen Xin is also allied with him."

"I need an ally in Zhenghe Police Station, and even if I am transferred away when Fang Ming makes a breakthrough, I will still have influence in Zhenghe Police Station."

"It won't be a case of 'the tea is forgotten after the person leaves'."

"Your second uncle works in construction engineering. If I am transferred away, Fang Ming will become the deputy director here. If your second uncle gets a project to renovate the old city of Xingsheng District, Fang Ming can also provide him with some protection."

Seeing Zhang Tao say this, Liu Ping spoke again:

"What if Fang Ming fails to break through? Do you have any other people who are suitable for breaking through to the Martial Arts Master level in the near future?"

As Liu Ping finished speaking, Zhang Tao frowned:

"Among my subordinates, Fang Ming has the highest probability of successfully breaking through; I estimate it to be around 60%."

"For anyone else, the success rate of breaking through might not even be 30%."

"If Fang Ming fails, then the others have even less of a chance."

"Moreover, people's hearts are unpredictable. The reason I am willing to help Fang Ming is because Fang Ming is a grateful person who has his own moral bottom line and principles."

"If it were anyone else, it's questionable how much influence my words would have after I'm transferred!"

"Tu Yuan seems to be a good person. He is calm and intelligent, but unfortunately his cultivation level is too low. He is far from being a martial artist."

"Forget it! Let's not talk about this anymore. If Fang Ming fails, then it's just fate!"

……

The next morning.

Eight o'clock.

Tu Yuan took a shower and then changed into his uniform.

He glanced at the cultivation progress in his mind.

[Thirteenth Edition Body Tempering Method: 79/100 (Transformation into a Martial Artist)]

Last night, after five hours of practice, his progress increased by 5 points.

It increased by 1 point compared to the previous two days of practice.

Tu Yuan guessed that it might be the effect of the medicinal wine he drank at Zhang Tao's house last night.

Tu Yuan then began to review the day's intelligence.

Unfortunately, today's intelligence is of little value to Tu Yuan.

Tu Yuan's work at the institute today was also uneventful.

Six o'clock, after the end of the workday.

Tu Yuan did not rush home.

Instead, they headed towards a village within the city called Zhumiao Village in Xingsheng District.

Thirty-seven days ago, Tianji Coin provided some intelligence.

[To evade capture, Xie Yuancheng, a Class 5 wanted criminal, disfigured himself and hid in apartment 502, fifth floor, No. 67 Zhumiao Village. He worked as a steelworker at a construction site in Zhumiao Village.]

After learning this information, Tu Yuan first investigated Xie Yuancheng's information at the institute.

Three years ago, Xie Yuancheng incurred a large debt due to gambling and sought refuge from creditors.

One night, Xie Yuancheng broke into the home of a wealthy family and murdered all six members of the family, stealing over 300,000 yuan in cash.

They never appeared again after that.

After investigation, the local public security bureau identified Xie Yuancheng as a major suspect and listed him as a Level 5 wanted criminal!

Criminals who can be listed as Level 5 wanted criminals are generally those with the skills of a first- or second-level martial arts master.

However, Xie Yuancheng's crimes were extremely heinous and his methods of killing were cruel, causing a great deal of negative impact.

Therefore, he was exceptionally classified as a Level 5 wanted criminal.
