Snatching People

"Isn't a membership fee of one million a bit too expensive?" Chen, an intelligence officer from the Sixth Group of the Intelligence Department One, asked. "You know that the Federation is allocating less and less funding to the Intelligence Department One these days, so one million is a bit tight."

Even Li Yunqu, the inspector of Intelligence Team Two, questioned, "What you're doing is a bit unethical. Aren't you afraid of incurring public wrath? Is it worth it for one million?"

Qing Hua sneered inwardly, "So you've finally decided to pretend to be poor?"

Intelligence Department One Division is surviving on federal government funding? Aren't they all relying on the financial groups behind them?

One million is just a drop in the ocean compared to the funds allocated by the consortium, and nobody really takes it seriously.

These people didn't think that one million was too high; they just felt that paying money to Group Seven was a bit humiliating, nothing more.

At this moment, not only were the Chen family intelligence agents from the sixth group at the third-floor stairwell, but other intelligence groups had also arrived.

Seeing that they couldn't reach an agreement with Qing Hua, the group tried appealing to their emotions. "We're all one family in Intelligence Department One, why should we have to pay each other to share intelligence?"

Qing Hua rolled her eyes and went straight back to her large office on the third floor, leaving behind the words, "Intelligence Team Seven welcomes everyone to become members anytime."

The other intelligence teams were furious and quickly returned to their floors to hold an emergency meeting.

Inside Intelligence Group Six.

Inspector Chen Sai sat at the end of the conference table, his face cold, and said, "The Qing family has gone too far. The new inspector's actions clearly show that he wants to become the boss of the entire Intelligence Department One. The position of Director of the Federal Central Intelligence Agency will be reshuffled in two months, and perhaps that's what they're after... What are your thoughts?"

Trainee Inspector Chen Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Right now, it's just that the Qing family has arrested too many people, so we want to know who they've arrested. But I think we can't stay passive like this. Why don't we ask our superiors if we can also arrest some officials from the Qing family faction? That way, we'll have leverage and will naturally have the opportunity to negotiate with them on an equal footing."

Chen Sai thought for a moment and said, "This is the only way for now. Everyone should stop their other work and focus on taking care of the officials of the Qing faction. However, after we collect the evidence, it's best not to show our faces and offend the Qing faction. Hand over the evidence and evidence to other intelligence groups and encourage them to take action. Whether the officials of the Qing faction are in our hands or not is not important. What's important is to make the Seventh Group bow down and submit."

"This seems a bit difficult," an intelligence officer said in a low voice. "Other intelligence groups might not be willing to be on the front lines."

Chen Sai shook his head. "It would have been difficult in the past, but now that the Kei clan has torn apart the alliance between Kamishiro and Kashima, although the two families have secretly become enemies, they are definitely more annoyed by the Kei clan. Now that someone has handed them a knife, whether they wield it or not is no longer something they can decide."

Each intelligence group is backed by a conglomerate, and what they want to do is up to their boss.

By now, the intelligence agents of Kamishiro and Kashima have probably already received instructions from their boss to prepare for a plan targeting the Kei clan.

The Chen family has always developed slowly in the southern part of the Federation, without provoking anyone. So their strategy this time is still to hand the knife to others while they hide behind the scenes.

Although their crime-solving abilities are not as good as the Seventh Group now, if the other four join forces, how can they not bring down the Seventh Group?

Officials from various factions in City No. 10 may not yet realize that this place has become the main battleground for the intelligence systems of various conglomerates.

The war at the front lines had a brief respite, but fighting raged on in the rear.

They, who were once living in the limelight, have become bargaining chips at the negotiating table between the two sides.

At this moment, Qing Zhun sat across from Qing Chen's desk and asked, "Boss, our Intelligence Team Seven has already incurred the wrath of many. How can you still be so calm?"

Qing Chen glanced at Qing Zhun: "There's no use in rushing."

"So what do we do now?" Qing Zhun asked.

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, "They only have two paths to take now. One is to pay membership fees, and the other is to find evidence and then arrest a large number of officials from the Qing faction as bargaining chips to negotiate with us. We also only have two paths to take. One is to continue to find more evidence to implicate their people, and the other is to protect our own people."

Qing Zhun hesitated for a moment before saying, "These days, there are no truly clean officials in the Federation. If they give a strict order to find evidence, they will definitely find it."

Qing Chen glanced at Qing Zhun: "It's alright, let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. By the way, I found some things here. Go to the PCE Public Security Management Committee and bring Yan Feng back to me. His brother-in-law's account has so much money from unknown sources, he's asking for trouble. Then go to the Food and Drug Administration and bring Fang Xia back to me. He dared to secretly sell federal strategic reserve drugs, he's got a death wish. And then go to the ICE Tax Management Committee..."

Qing Chen rattled off more than ten names in one breath, which made Qing Zhun increasingly surprised.

"Boss, how did you know Fang Xia had a problem?" Qing Zhun asked.

Qing Chen glanced at him. "The number of medicines entering and leaving the warehouse every day doesn't match the inventory."

The Federation has no powerful external enemies. Although the Wilderness People are active, they do not have the ability to truly threaten the Federation. At most, they can hide in Forbidden Zone or the snowy mountains of the southwest to avoid being wiped out.

Therefore, the Federal Central Intelligence Agency's primary responsibility is actually to monitor all officials.

They even have access to the internal systems of various other departments. In Qing Chen's opinion, the PCE Federal Central Intelligence Agency is just a replica of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Although they are henchmen for conglomerates, their division of responsibilities is indeed very similar to that of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Qing Zhun looked at Qing Chen: "Boss, the daily inbound and outbound quantities and inventory levels are huge numbers, you..."

Qing Chen pondered for two seconds and asked, "How much went in, how much went out, and how much is left? Isn't this just a simple addition and subtraction problem?"

Qing Zhun was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why, but after Qing Chen said that, he suddenly felt that the data didn't seem so huge.

He pondered for a while before suddenly saying, "But boss, these are all factions of our Qing family, why are you arresting them?"

Qing Chen glanced at Qing Zhun: "Weren't the Chen family, the Li family, Shen Dai, and Kashima trying to target us? I've brought back all the easy targets, so who else can they target?"

"Huh?" Qing Zhun was both amused and exasperated. Is this the real Kyung-jun who's so ruthless that he even arrests his own people?

However, this seems to be a solution. Rather than letting these officials, who have obvious evidence to be found fault with, be dealt with by ourselves first, rather than leaving them in the hands of others.

The talent pool of each conglomerate is more abundant than imagined. Even if a dozen or so are taken away, there are still hundreds more waiting to replace them. It's nothing.

Moreover, it's not just officials from the Qing faction who have been arrested; Qing Hua's side has already been released. The Seventh Group has now cast a wide net, and no matter which faction they belong to, they have no intention of letting anyone go.

At this moment, Qing Chen said to Qing Zhun, "We must act quickly and capture them before the other groups do. Reveal the Qing family's identity directly, so the suspects won't resist and will obediently come to Intelligence Department One."

Qing Zhun: "But these are just small fry. Even if we catch them all, there will definitely be some people whose secrets fall into the hands of the other groups."

"It's alright," Qing Chen said calmly. "Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

At one point, Qing Zhun wondered if, after Qing Chen swept through the city, the system of City No. 10 would be clearer than a mountain stream...

This can be considered a good deed for the City No. 10.

Before leaving Qing Chen's office, Qing Zhun suddenly turned back and asked, "Boss, you want to take this opportunity to purge those scourge officials in City No. 10, right? At a time like this, with intelligence systems tearing each other apart, no one has the right to tell you who you've arrested."

Qing Chen smiled and said, "Purge? I don't have that kind of ability. I'll arrest as many as I can."

"Understood," Qing Zhun replied.

Half an hour later, Qing Zhun took half of his detective brothers out. From today onwards, he and Qing Hua had a clear division of labor: Qing Hua would arrest people from other families, while he would arrest people from his own.

Use both hands.

Other intelligence groups also sprang into action. The first target of the third intelligence group on the Shindai side was Yan Feng, the senior superintendent of the PCE Public Security Management Committee, whom Qing Chen had mentioned, and they had solid evidence against him.

However, when Kamiyo Changming led his team to the PCE Public Security Management Committee, they were told that Yan Feng had already been arrested by Group Seven.

In the PCE office building, Kamiyo Changming erupted in fury. "When were they arrested? How could they take him away so easily?"

The PCE agents didn't dare to mess with him either, after all, no matter which team from the Intelligence Department One came out, they were all formidable figures, not people they could afford to offend.

But the PCE agents couldn't understand what was wrong with Intelligence Department One. Why was there suddenly such a fierce competition for personnel?!

This situation wasn't unique to the Shindai region.

On their way to the Food and Drug Administration, Kashima Qing Zhun's convoy returning to the Intelligence Department One.

Kashima Li Zhongxian- heon watched as Qing Zhun the car to slow down, rolled down the window, and then had Fang Xia, who had just been arrested, greet the people in their intelligence team four.

Fang Xia was almost in tears in the car, but Qing Zhun had made the request, and he couldn't disobey.

Qing Zhun in the car was quite particular. "You have to smile, remember to show eight teeth, otherwise your smile won't look good or friendly."

Lee Jong-heon, from Intelligence Team Four, sat in his car, his face ashen, watching Qing Zhun- joon's convoy pass by them. "We're not going to the Food and Drug Administration anymore, we're going to the ICE Tax Management Committee!"

Just then, one of the agents in the car cautiously said, "Boss, my informant just told me that Chen Yuan, whom we were trying to arrest, has also been taken away by Team Seven."

Lee Jong-heon sat in the car in a daze. This was the legendary "walking someone else's path and leaving them with nowhere to walk."

Making a preemptive arrest sounds simple, but it's very difficult to do, because Qing Chen's Seventh Group always has to be one step ahead, or even three steps ahead, of others.

Kamishiro and Kashima had finally managed to find three suspects each, but Qing Chen had already caught them all. Doesn't that mean that the Seventh Group's crime-solving ability is equivalent to that of the two of them?

Lee Jong-heon said, "Back to Intelligence Department One, I refuse to believe I can't even arrest one official from the Qing faction. I refuse to believe he can arrest all the problematic individuals!"

There will be another chapter before 11 PM.
