Chapter 143 A Bunch of Idiots

Gwen sat in his office, looking at the two interrogation reports on his desk, his brow furrowed slightly. He beckoned to the action team leader.

The action team leader immediately approached Gwen, awaiting instructions.

Gwen pointed to the reports and said to the action team leader, "This interrogation content alone isn't enough. If we want to bring down Changqing Corporation, we need to add more fuel to the fire. Let me tell you, you do it like this..."

"Dilingling!"

Before Gwen could finish speaking, the phone beside him suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was from the municipal assistant. "Hello?"

A very polite voice sounded from the other end of the phone, "Director Gwen, hello, this is Weiss, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government. I have been entrusted by the mayor to inform you that you must stop all actions against Chinese social groups."

Gwen's brow furrowed upon hearing this. "Why? Mr. Weiss, we've already made a breakthrough here, identifying many high-level executives of the Changqing branch. Many of them are intelligence personnel who have been turned by the All-Systems Bureau!"

"Unfortunately, Mr. Gwen. The City Hall is facing unprecedented pressure from public opinion. What we need now is stability, not catching spies. Do you understand what I mean?"

Gwen gritted his teeth, trembling with anger. He knew what the other party cared about, nothing more than the mayor's re-election. "Mr. Weiss, blocking the All-Systems Bureau from forming a joint organization is the Third District's...!"

"We are the City Hall, and our primary responsibility is to stabilize the city's safety. We have already notified the relevant police departments. The operation will cease immediately. That's all." The secretary-general didn't say another word to Gwen and hung up the phone directly.

"Hello, Secretary-General Weiss..."

"Doo-doo-doo."

The phone emitted a busy tone. Gwen was so angry that his eyes turned red. He slammed the phone on the desk with a bang, roaring, "A bunch of idiots! Shameless politicians who only care about their own interests!!"

The action team leader stood at the door, frowning slightly as he looked at his director, also feeling a stomach full of anger. If it weren't for Gwen's greed for merit and insistence on playing the long game, the entire Fifth Division would have taken off by now.

Directly arresting the Deputy Director of the All-Systems Bureau, prematurely ending their plan to rescue the Wu family father and son—what kind of achievement was that?!

The Qingyi Bureau had been fighting with the All-Systems Bureau for so long, and they hadn't even achieved this kind of result!

Thinking of this, the action team leader felt even more frustrated, because he had reminded Gwen at the time, but unfortunately, the other party was too excited and didn't listen at all.

The two were silent for a while. Gwen perhaps realized that he had lost his composure and turned to look at the action team leader, saying, "You've worked hard during this time. I'll allocate one million from the division's activity funds for you to distribute privately. Don't tell the other departments."

Upon hearing this, the action team leader immediately stepped forward, feeling a bit surprised and happy, and said, "Thank you, Director!"

"Let them go. We lost this round completely." Gwen took full responsibility, "It was my mistake. I won't let everyone take the blame together."

"We didn't do well either." The action team leader immediately replied.

"Go." Gwen waved his hand.

"Yes!"

The action team leader turned and left. Gwen sat in his chair, feeling physically and mentally exhausted. He told himself that if he lost his mental balance and collapsed at this time, he would completely lose his qualifications as an opponent.

Thinking of this, Gwen calmed down, reached out, took out his phone, and dialed Xu Nan's number.

After a short while, Xu Nan from the Information Section walked in.

Gwen looked at him with his hands clasped together, "I've been thinking about it. You're right. The Qingyi Bureau is full of traitors...!"

"??!" Xu Nan was stunned for a moment, seemingly a little confused.

"I've been thinking for a long time. Why are they so obsessed with taking Liu Cong away?"

...

Bana City.

Su Tianyu was lying in a dimly lit room, sound asleep. He had been too tired these past few days, almost constantly working around the clock.

"Creak!"

The door opened, and Hou Guoyu walked in with a bowl of steaming hot soup noodles, carefully placing it on the table. He reached out and nudged Su Tianyu's shoulder, "Sixth Master? Brother! Hey, wake up and have something to eat...!"

Su Tianyu slowly opened his eyes, looking at Hou Guoyu with a blank expression for a few seconds before finally reacting, "What time is it?"

"A little after ten in the morning."

"Slept for so long?!" Su Tianyu stood up and stretched his body, "Why hasn't that side called me yet... Never mind, call Lao Huang and Qi Qi over. Let's continue with the meeting."

Hou Guoyu told Su Tianyu, "An Qiqi is sick."

"Sick?" Su Tianyu was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

"A bit of a fever."

"I see... Go buy her some medicine."

"Alright!"

As Hou Guoyu was about to leave, Su Tianyu suddenly stopped him again. "Hey, Monkey, wait. Never mind... I'll go myself."

Su Tianyu ate the noodles and went downstairs. He walked around the surrounding streets, bought a few things, and went to An Qiqi's room.

After a short while, An Qiqi, wearing pajamas, opened the door somewhat weakly. "You're awake?"

"Yeah, slept for over ten hours." Su Tianyu stepped into the room, placed the bag of things on the table, and asked softly, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you have a fever?"

"A low fever, it's okay..." An Qiqi sat on the sofa with a somewhat listless expression. "Maybe I've been too tired lately."

"Should we see a doctor?" Su Tianyu asked.

"It's nothing, I just stayed up too late a few days ago, and it just so happened... that I'm not feeling well." An Qiqi reached out and opened the bag. "What's this...?"

In the black bag, there were some fever reducers and disposable heating pads for girls to use during their period. An Qiqi was stunned for a moment as she looked at these things, then turned her head to look at Su Tianyu. "Thank you."

Su Tianyu smiled and glanced at the table, seeing many photos, one of which was of Qiu Ge's disfigured face. This should have been sent by the action team. It was easy to imagine that An Qiqi had been under a lot of pressure recently, but she was different from before. She had become more silent, starting to keep all her unhappiness and anxieties to herself, absorbing them on her own.

"Now that you're here, let's talk about the establishment of the Huatong Association." An Qiqi patted her cheeks cutely, trying to cheer herself up, and changed the subject. "Come on, let's work. Wu Boxin is coming back soon, and we need to prepare. I'll contact Yu Mingyuan and the Zhou family, and you call the Tongji Association, the Chi Army, and Lao Li..."

"Okay, I'll contact them..." Su Tianyu frowned slightly. "And Wu Boxin, he hasn't contacted me yet... Never mind, I'll go see Lao Huang myself."

"Okay..."

...

On a fishing boat in international waters.

Wu Taiyong was sitting in the smelly cabin, resting with his eyes closed.

Just then, the cabin door was pushed open, and Wang An walked in.

Wu Taiyong slowly opened his eyes, yawned, and asked, "Team Wang, where are we? How much further?"

Wang An came to Wu Taiyong, bent down, sat down, and replied softly, "Not far now. The boat will dock for supplies soon."

"Ah, that's good." Wu Taiyong nodded and asked, "Do you have a cigarette? Give me one."

Wang An reached out, took out a cigarette case, handed him one, and lit it for him. "Mr. Wu, when the boat docks later, you'll be leaving on your own."

Wu Taiyong was stunned upon hearing this, and frowned, asking, "What do you mean? Where to?!"
