Chapter 600: Let the bullets fly for a while Chapter 600: Let the bullets fly for a while Morning.
As usual, Qing Yi finished breakfast and, escorted by a large group of bodyguards, headed to Intelligence Departnt Three.
Unlike his spirited appearance at the beginning, he now felt sowhat tired of it all.
After arriving at Intelligence Departnt Three, his daily tasks were to feign obedience and then sit in the large office, sipping coffee, chatting, watching Qing Xing find money, observing Qing Wen buy people’s hearts, seeing Qing Wu sleep sprawled on the desk, and Qing Shi chasing celebrities.
Qing Yuan had never shown up, and there was no telling where he’d gone.
Qing Yi’s initial plan was to adopt an indifferent facade upon his arrival at Intelligence Departnt Three to lower others’ guard against him.
Of course, he was a bit worried about whether such behavior would make him too conspicuous.
What he hadn’t anticipated was how idle Intelligence Departnt Three was; the detectives were incredibly bored, their daily activities not much different from his, which actually suited his very diocre disguise.
Sitting in his administrative class vehicle, Qing Yi was constantly on his cellphone, waiting for sothing.
Just as they were about to reach the office building of Intelligence Departnt Three, he mumbled softly, “Strange, why hasn’t the call co yet.”
The next second, his phone rang, the caller ID showing Li Ke.
Qing Yi waited pretentiously for more than ten seconds before answering, “Isn’t this annoying? Calling every morning, how have you beco so nagging?”
Li Ke explained, “I’m sorry, my father had sothing to instruct this morning, so I called late.”
Qing Yi paused briefly, “Oh, it’s fine.”
Li Ke asked, “Has anyone suspected you of pretending lately?”
“No,” Qing Yi replied, “Those people are busy watching the insider news and gossiping every day, they hardly pay any attention to . It’s strange, ever since we reported for duty, the Shadow has disappeared without giving us any tasks, as if planning to let us mold away at Intelligence Departnt Three.”
Li Ke thought for a mont and said, “Perhaps Mr. Shadow is waiting for you to take initiative, since you all might beco the Shadow in the future. By then, no one will assign tasks to you; you need to learn to seek opportunities proactively.”
Qing Yi raised an eyebrow, “I know that, you don’t need to teach !”
Li Ke went on, talking to himself, “My father helped to investigate, and it seems like Qing Wu has been studying under a master since he was young. This is very secretive; you must treat him as an expert and not think about assassinating him.”
Qing Yi raised an eyebrow again, “I didn’t ask for your help, I can beco the Shadow on my own.”
Li Ke continued, “After reporting to Intelligence Departnt One, Qing Yuan has vanished completely. He probably knows that this round of competition for the title of Shadow is crucial, so he’s hiding in the shadows. The Li Family’s intelligence system can’t even find him, which ans he has a team behind him that’s very skilled at concealing identities. As for Qing Shi, her father’s n have arrived in City 10, and there may be masters beyond C-Class among them… Didn’t they say that the highest level for a Protector in the competition for the Shadow is C-Class? Isn’t she breaking the rules?”
“Of course it counts,” Qing Yi frowned and said, “Those who have beco the Shadow have always been adept at exploiting the rules, and usually by the fourth round, it becos a battle among Immortals. But, he wouldn’t dare to act overtly.”
Li Ke asked, “By the way, Qing Yi, what about your family’s people? Why haven’t they co to City 10 to help you? Do you need to request assistance from the Li Family’s mbers?”
Qing Yi replied impatiently, “Enough, no more talk. Are you trying to ddle in Qing’s internal affairs? That’s overstepping.”
“Whatever you say,” Li Ke responded. “Do you have any plans right now?”
Qing Yi thought for a mont and said, “I plan to find an opportunity to go to Intelligence Departnt One and take a look. I feel like it might be more interesting there… By the way, has there been any news from the ntor?”
Li Ke was silent for two seconds before asking, “Why do you keep looking for the ntor?”
Qing Yi replied sowhat unnaturally, “I’ve already completed my Grand Circulation, and he hasn’t given the next thod for cultivation.”
“Is that so?” Li Ke asked.
“Yes, what else would it be,” Qing Yi retorted.
“I will ntion it to the ntor. Maybe he can co to City 10 to give you the subsequent cultivation thods.”
“Really? Well… I’m eager to improve my strength by cultivating, eting the ntor is secondary.”
These days, the most discussed topic in Intelligence Departnt Three was the high-profile news on the PCA Federal Central Intelligence Bureau’s internal reports about the arrests made by Intelligence Departnt One, Team Seven.
Such significant actions had almost beco core news within the circle.
Every ti Qing Yi thought of Intelligence Departnt One, majestic in their arrests, then declaring to others, “Since when does Intelligence Departnt One need to present evidence to you?”
It thrilled him.
After hanging up the call, a faint smile appeared on the corners of his thin lips.
For him, the most interesting thing every day now seed to be this encrypted call.
A Shadow Candidate from the Qing Family talking on the phone every day with a core scion from Li’s Big Room, surely no one would believe it if they heard.
When Qing Yi arrived in the large office of Intelligence Departnt Three, at that mont, Qing Wu was still asleep on the desk, while Qing Wen was inviting his detectives to his holiday resort in City 10, boasting of pools and a villa complex where they could throw parties.
Qing Wen didn’t just invite his own detectives but also included those under Qing Yi.
By now, no one reported to Qing Yi anymore; they all went directly to Qing Wen, as if Qing Wen alone reigned over all seventy-two detectives.
