A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

But unexpectedly, it's now backfiring on us.

The surveillance video from the office was quickly retrieved.

After watching the video, Yan Ling's gaze swept over Zhou An and finally landed on Liu Haiyang: "I've watched the video. Do you have anything else to say?"

Liu Haiyang said coldly, "So what if I struck first? He was so presumptuous and arrogant towards me, can't I even teach him a lesson?"

"Moreover, it is a fact that he injured his superior. Within the Tianheng Division, regardless of right or wrong, attacking a superior is considered insubordination."

Yan Ling said coldly, "We'll let this matter drop today, but you won't get your bonus this month."

“Zhou An, apologize to Liu Haiyang and deduct three months’ salary as punishment.”

The power of words is to make big problems small and small problems disappear.

"Apologize?" Zhou An was immediately annoyed. How could he possibly apologize?

But before Zhou An could speak, Liu Haiyang directly refused: "Apologize? Deduct three months' salary as punishment?"

"Captain Yan, you have quite the airs of authority. You think you can just let this go with a single sentence?"

"Impossible. If you don't want to punish Zhou An, just say so. I will report it to the internal investigation department."

"Team Leader Liu, are you sure you want to report this to the Internal Investigation Department?" Yan Ling asked slowly.

"What? Captain Yan, are you trying to use your power to pressure me? I've already reported this to the internal investigation department, and it won't matter who comes."

Liu Haiyang immediately took out his phone and called the internal investigation department.

Yan Ling looked coldly at Liu Haiyang, but she did not stop him.

With so many people around, he couldn't possibly stop them from calling the internal investigation department.

The call connected quickly, and Liu Haiyang immediately put it on speakerphone and explained the whole story.

He even said that Captain Yan was trying to use his power to pressure him and didn't want him to report to the internal investigation department.

"Team Leader Liu, we are aware of the matter and will immediately dispatch a specialist to investigate."

"If you encounter any further obstacles, please contact us immediately."

Liu Haiyang responded and hung up the phone, his face turning somewhat smug.

"Captain Yan, Zhou An, you two should prepare to be investigated." Liu Haiyang was now relieved.

Although he was just a group leader, he had powerful backers, just not as powerful as Yan Ling.

If Yan Ling hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have gotten the position of captain of District 1.

"Zhou An, come with me." Yan Ling glanced coldly at Liu Haiyang, then turned and left.

Upon hearing this, Zhou An shrugged and immediately followed the spirit of words away.

"Captain, wasn't your office destroyed? How come it's fixed so quickly?" Zhou An looked around the brand-new office, somewhat surprised.

"If the Ministry of Works of Tianheng didn't even have this much skill, how could they be eating so much oily food?"

"I really didn't expect you to be able to injure Liu Haiyang." Yan Ling sat on the sofa, her long legs draped over the coffee table, looking rather alluring.

Zhou An glanced at the long, white legs without any hesitation: "Yes, I didn't expect Organization Liu to be so weak, but he did make a very good point about one thing."

"what's up?"

“That means I could punch you so hard you'd vomit blood,” Zhou An replied.

Yan Ling's lips twitched slightly: "Alright, just tell the truth when the internal investigation department arrives."

"So what if he's insubordinate? After all, he started it. At most, you'll just get a disciplinary action."

"They won't fire you. With my Word of Power around, even if your resume is tarnished, as long as you're under my command, there won't be any problem with your promotion."

Upon hearing this, Zhou An shifted his gaze from the long legs to Yan Ling's delicate face: "I didn't expect Captain Yan to be from such a wealthy family."

"From now on, I'll have to stick close to Captain Yan."

Yan Ling smiled calmly: "I will transfer Liu Haiyang away, and then you will become the leader of Group Five."

"I have one more request: that you keep the area under your jurisdiction from becoming chaotic. Are you confident in that?"

When asked about the promotion, Zhou An immediately perked up: "I guarantee I'll complete the task."

"If you can't finish, then go back down and reflect some more. I'll bring you back up when you reach level 2," Yan Ling said calmly.

"Captain Yan, you can watch closely, I guarantee there won't be any mistakes," Zhou An said, patting his chest.

About half an hour later, the people from the internal investigation department arrived.

After they learned the whole story, just as Yan Ling had said, they gave Zhou An an internal reprimand, which would be recorded in his file.

Zhou An was also fined 100,000 yuan, which was used to repair the damaged buildings.

Everything else was fine, but this one thing was something Zhou An couldn't tolerate.

They broke down a wall, damaged some office supplies, and dug two trenches in the ground.

He was actually fined 100,000 yuan, which was a huge blow to Zhou An, who didn't have much money.

Fortunately, the wealthy woman Yanling paid for it for him.

Liu Haiyang, on the other hand, was transferred out of the 1st District Brigade by orders from above the very next day.

Zhou An didn't ask where they went, because there was no need to.

Yan Ling led Zhou An to the fifth floor once again, which was the office area of ​​Group Five.

All personnel were summoned.

There were quite a few people; there were twenty in total.

Five clerks are responsible for handling documents, information, and other related matters.

The remaining fifteen people were all combatants.

“From now on, Zhou An will be the new leader of your Group 5. Zhou An will take over Blocks 9 and 10,” Yan Ling said in a deep voice.

"Captain, I'm not convinced. He's just a rookie who recently joined Tianheng Division."

“I admit he’s capable, but I’m not happy about a rookie managing our group five.”

"Exactly. A manager needs not only strong abilities but also the capacity to manage. I bet the streets of Blocks 9 and 10 will descend into chaos as soon as he takes office."

The three group members stood up, their faces full of resentment.

Yan Ling's gaze swept over the three men; she recognized them—they were all Liu Haiyang's trusted subordinates.

He and Liu Haiyang are like brothers.

"If you're not happy about it, then keep it to yourself."

“If you can’t hold it in, then the three of you can be transferred to Group Four, or you can resign. It’s your choice,” Yan Ling said calmly.

They were all just minor characters at level two.

The group leader of Group Four has a good relationship with Liu Haiyang; they are part of the same group.

As for the people in groups 1, 2, and 3, they are all people who use the power of words.

"We are applying to be transferred to Group Four."

The three men, their faces flushed red, ultimately chose to be transferred to Group Four.

“We’ll go too.” Five more people stepped forward, wanting to be transferred to Group Four with the three of them.

"Take your transfer orders and get out of here." Yan Ling seemed to have been prepared, and threw a document at them.

The three men sneered, packed their things, and slunk away with the other five.

The remaining people are just ordinary group members, so there's no question of who stands in a particular position.

They didn't really care who the group leader was.

"You still have eight vacancies. Tomorrow is the recruitment day for Tianheng Division. You can go and recruit people."

“You have to do all of this yourself, and there can’t be any problems in Blocks Nine and Ten,” Yan Ling said.

"Yes, Captain." Zhou An nodded solemnly.

"Xiao Ling, you stay here and help Zhou An organize the documents and hand them over to him," Yan Ling said to the bespectacled girl beside her.

The other person adjusted their glasses and nodded.

Before long, Yanling left with his men.

"You can all go about your own business. Team Leader Zhou, come to my office." The woman with glasses immediately turned and headed towards the office.

Zhou An immediately followed.

In just one day, the ditches plowed out of the ground by their legs and the broken walls were repaired.

About an hour and a half later, the woman with glasses left, leaving Zhou An alone in the office.

Zhou An had a general understanding of the procedures and powers of the Tianheng Division.

Tianheng Division doesn't concern itself with ordinary public security management, or murder cases.

Those are matters for the Public Security Bureau.

They only handle cases involving superhumans, monsters, and other matters that fall outside the scope of ordinary people.

Even if superhumans fight or brawl, or even shout insults in the street, it's all under their jurisdiction.

Their five groups are responsible for Blocks 9 and 10.

Because Liu Haiyang is the strongest person besides the Word Spirit.

Therefore, the two neighborhoods under his jurisdiction were the most chaotic.

It has everything from red-light districts and bars to casinos.

Furthermore, these three places are legal; the illegal ones are likely involved in drug trafficking.

This is also not under their jurisdiction.

Their combat personnel patrol the streets at irregular intervals every day to deter criminals.

We will also receive alarms and respond to incidents immediately.
