"Do you know what? Intelligence Department One is in complete chaos!"

Of the Intelligence Department Three these past few days, the one that has been the most talked about is the Intelligence Department One.

Intelligence Department Three is the Qing Clan's faction and a place for Shadow Candidate to hone their skills. However, surprisingly, after the Shadows brought the candidates here, they did not announce what their next mission would be.

It's as if the Shadow Candidate are just left to gather dust here.

So the Shadow Candidate remained inactive, and the agents of the Intelligence Department Three were happy to have some free time. Apart from flattering the candidates, all they did every day was eat melons and drink tea.

On the Intelligence Department One, it's no secret that Team Seven exchanged two key figures from the Kashima family for information from the Kamishiro Family.

Furthermore, it has already caused a huge uproar in the intelligence community.

No one expected that the daring operation by the Seventh Group of the Intelligence Department One would actually come to fruition, nor did they expect that Kamishiro would secretly arrest two such important figures from the Kashima Family...

For a time, the alliance between Kamishiro and Kashima became a laughing stock.

Of course, the most aggrieved person was Shindai. They had clearly reached a consensus internally not to allow anyone to trade with Group Seven, but they were still slandered.

As the saying goes, it takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them. No matter how Shendai explains things now, the outside world will at most remain skeptical.

"That inspector from the Seventh Group of the Intelligence Department One is amazing. He managed to make things so bad for Kamishiro and Kashima," an agent said with an admiring expression.

Upon hearing this, Qing Yi thought to himself, "That's my master! How could he not be powerful?"

He looked around the office, giving off an air of superiority over all the Shadow Candidate, as if his son's status depended on his father.

The son is the son of the disciple, and the father is the father of the master.

However, every time he thought about it, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong. How could he have accepted the other party as his master? Bah!

While the other agents were engrossed in their conversation, Qing Yi slipped into a corner cubicle and called Li Ke, asking calmly, "Do you know where the master has gone?"

Li Ke was taken aback for a moment. "I don't know."

Qing Yi had been thinking a lot about the time Qing Chen took Li Ke on a solo trip, and now that he was so close to Qing Chen, he naturally wanted to show off.

Qing Yi whispered, "The gentleman has come to City No. 10, and he's even become an inspector for the PCA (CIA). That's impressive..."

The conversation lasted for more than an hour, during which Qing Yi told Li Ke everything she knew.

As the story neared its end, Qing Yi casually asked, "Do you think he would agree if I asked him to support me in the Shadow Struggle?"

Li Ke thought for a moment and said, "The master has always thought about you and praised your intelligence. You should go and tell him; he will definitely be willing."

Qing Yi fell into deep thought.

The next moment, the way he looked at the other Shadow Candidate was different.

What are Qing Wen, Qing Xing, Qing Wu, and Qing Yuan? A bunch of trainee inspectors from the Intelligence Department Three. Can they be as capable as the inspectors from the Intelligence Department One?

Oh no, Qing Yi quickly averted his gaze, Qing Xing this guy was a bit strange, and he still had to be on guard.

Moreover, playing dumb to outsmart others is what he excels at!

Qing Yi thought to himself that although he had a powerful master to help him, he still had to keep a low profile. His master was also a low-key person and probably wouldn't want him to be so high-profile!

In the Intelligence Department One, Qing Chen sat in his office with his eyes closed, resting.

He went through the files he had previously reviewed in his mind again and again, trying to find some clues.

Qing Mu needs to be rescued, but no one who can be captured can be let go.

What if another big fish like those at the lottery station appears?

Qing Chen calculated the time; there were still ten days until the Time Walker returned.

At this moment, Qing Hua walked in. "Inspector, I removed the whiteboard as you instructed. Does this mean we will no longer publicly announce arrests?"

These past few days, Qing Hua has been enjoying the pleasure of being on the whiteboard. Whether it's trading important intelligence figures or the attention from other intelligence groups, it makes him feel good every day.

Qing Chen opened his eyes and looked at Qing Hua: "We'll go public, I didn't say we wouldn't."

"Huh?" Qing Hua was taken aback. "Then why didn't you hang a whiteboard?"

Qing Chen said, "When you get off work tonight, you stay at the door. If anyone from another intelligence team asks you why the whiteboard is gone, just tell them..."

Qing Hua was stunned when he heard Qing Chen's arrangement. He thought to himself, why does his new boss always have so many crazy moves?

When they finished get off work in the evening, the other intelligence teams went up the stairs to the third floor as usual, hoping to see if there were any new intelligence messages on the whiteboard.

They discovered that the whiteboard was gone, and only Qing Hua remained there.

The people in Group Six were puzzled. "Wait, where's your whiteboard?"

Qing Hua calmly said, "Starting today, our Seventh Group will no longer display whiteboards to the outside world. It's a bit affecting the internal unity of Intelligence Department One."

The intelligence agents of the Chen family in Group Six were immediately displeased. "You people in Group Seven almost broke up Kamishiro and Kashima. Now you realize it's affecting unity?"

The key point is, when has Intelligence Department One ever been united? The alliance between Kamishiro and Kashima doesn't even count as unity.

So, what kind of trouble is Group Seven up to now?

Chen's intelligence agent tentatively asked, "Will hostage transactions still continue?"

Qing Hua thought for a moment and said, "Let's proceed."

Chen's intelligence agent asked, "Then you have to let us know who you have in your hands before we can decide whether to make a deal."

The Chen family just lost an official from City No. 10 today. Someone from above has sent word to the Sixth Group of Intelligence Department One to come to the third floor and see if he has been arrested by the Seventh Group.

If so, then let's discuss the terms. We'll pay to buy it back and destroy it along with the evidence of the crime.

Qing Hua laughed and said, "So, our Group 7 has decided that everyone can pay us a membership fee, and from now on, members can go directly to the third-floor meeting room to discuss projects while having tea."

Chen's intelligence agents were immediately shocked. This Seventh Group actually started a membership program?!

They asked impatiently, "How much is the membership fee?"

Qing Hua said with a smile, "1 million, annual fee, it's not actually that expensive."

Chen's intelligence agent almost blurted out, "Didn't you just catch two big fish at the lottery station? You don't need that million!"

Qing Hua modestly replied, "Even the flesh on a mosquito's leg is flesh."

Qing Chen made this very clear to him: the one million membership fee was actually a small matter, but the most important thing was to force everyone to pay the membership fee.

In this way, everyone will subconsciously believe that Group 7 is stronger than the other groups.

What Qing Chen wanted was to establish this psychological advantage.

That's all for today. I feel completely exhausted when I got home, and I can't concentrate. Please allow me a day to rest so I can make it up to everyone in October.

October is almost here, I've finished writing the outline and am ready to update a lot.
