Secret Buyer-Chapter 156 - 131: Assistant Commissioner, Source Point Research Institute
Ancient Saint Sect, Celestial Principle Sect, Eastern Sect, Pantheon...
Perhaps it’s due to old affinities.
Or maybe it’s because of that elusive rumor.
They all agreed to it.
.........
The next day.
After having breakfast with his parents, Zhang Fusheng headed to the Public Security Headquarters.
When he reached the Deputy Director’s office on the top floor, hot tea was already prepared.
"The new Golden Legislator and Elder Hu are about to arrive."
Liu Yuan opened with a smile:
"I’ve gathered some information. They’re here for a one-month visit. I plan to launch an operation against Wang Tianlong in seven or eight days at the latest, with you leading it. How does that sound?"
Zhang Fusheng lightly tapped the tea table, pondered for a moment, and said:
"To what extent is this operation expected to progress?"
Liu Yuan responded:
"At the very least, we need to clear some of Wang Tianlong’s influence. As for him, we can’t touch him directly. The concern now is if Wang Tianlong personally steps forward by then..."
Zhang Fusheng raised his eyelids, scrutinizing the smiling middle-aged man.
He asked:
"What do the people backing Director Liu say?"
Zhang Fusheng was clear about his thoughts; behind Wang Tianlong was Master Chen Qiusheng, along with a complacent Vice Director He Gaozhuo,
Given this, how could Old Liu possibly be fighting alone?
As expected.
Liu Yuan remained silent for a moment and then said:
"Mr. Zhang, you’re indeed wise, so I won’t hide it from you."
He spoke frankly:
"I follow Legislator Li’s lead."
Zhang Fusheng raised an eyebrow, Legislator Li?
The Golden Legislator from Chongyang City?
Interesting.
Liu Yuan continued:
"I know, Fusheng, you’re from a subordinate city, and many things might be unclear to you."
He changed ’Mr. Zhang’ to ’Fusheng,’ an intimate gesture:
"As one of the seven major cities in the Golden Province, Chongyang City is closely connected with the Provincial Government in Golden City."
"Even the slightest power shifts here involve more than just Chongyang City."
Power struggle.
More power struggle.
Zhang Fusheng wasn’t foolish, but he found these matters quite headache-inducing. Even though he planned to spread the High Heaven Association’s influence throughout the expansive power network,
Facing it all personally?
He preferred to crush his political enemies with a single punch.
Immediately, Zhang Fusheng waved his hand, reluctant to delve deeper into thought, and said:
"Director Liu, please speak plainly."
Liu Yuan’s smile slightly faltered, then he elaborated:
"Legislator Li, being the elder, won’t step in personally, but he can shield us from pressures beyond our level."
Old Liu began to paint grand visions again:
"If you perform impressively, Fusheng, the legislator might even meet you, especially during the visit from Elder Hu and the newly appointed Legislator Zhou."
"Perhaps, Fusheng, you’ll have the chance to meet Elder Hu and the new Legislator Zhou, make a good connection."
Zhang Fusheng gave a smile with an indistinct meaning:
"The day after tomorrow, on the eighth, is my apprenticeship banquet. Will Director Liu attend?"
"Of course, I’ll be there."
He stood up, shook hands with Liu Yuan with a smile.
Exiting the Deputy Director’s office.
He came face to face with a stern man built like a tower. The man turned, scrutinized Zhang Fusheng from head to toe, and said blandly:
"So, you’re the new Senior Inspector, Assistant Commissioner?"
Zhang Fusheng glanced at the insignia on his shoulder - Level 3 Inspector.
Presumably one of the three Deputy Directors—He Gaozhuo?
Seeing the lack of response, the man’s expression turned cold:
"Senior Inspector, why didn’t you salute when you saw a superior officer!"
His voice was loud, drawing the attention of patrolling security personnel and officers on the floor.
Yet, behind him, the door to Liu Yuan’s office remained silent.
Zhang Fusheng paused briefly, then extended his hand:
"Are you He Gaozhuo, Director He?"
The man raised an eyebrow, sensing the gaze of numerous eyes. Ultimately, he didn’t make too big a scene, grunted, and extended his hand as well.
The two hands clasped together.
’Crack!’
He Gaozhuo’s originally livid face instantly turned the color of liver, with a quickening heart!
He could feel the seemingly gentle and weak young man gripping his hand exerting an unimaginably immense force, along with viciously cruel Power!
The Yin Snake Force burrowed into his palm, shattering the bones, then up his forearm, his upper arm...
He Gaozhuo abruptly withdrew his hand, his entire right arm going limp, rapidly losing color.
He twitched his cheek, forcing out a few words through gritted teeth:
"Good."
"You’re good."
This tower-like man fled into his office as if escaping.
Zhang Fusheng shrugged and headed straight for the building’s training area to meet the enforcement teams assigned to him.
Officially, as a Senior Inspector, he was now in charge of three enforcement teams.
Additionally, he even had his own ’assistant.’
It was a young girl named Lin Changle.
"Help me send an order to the subordinate city Dragon Boat, giving someone named Lu Mingzhu a Level 2 pass, and have the Public Security Headquarters there bring her to Chongyang."
"Yes."
Lin Changle looked curiously at this remarkably young Senior Inspector, then added:
"By the way, Vice Director Zhang."
The young girl chirped:
"In the afternoon, there are people coming from the Source Point Research Institute in Golden City, and Deputy Director He specifically assigned you to handle reception and security affairs."
"Source Point Research Institute?"
Zhang Fusheng furrowed his brows, what’s that?
Why does it sound a bit familiar?
He pondered for a moment and suddenly realized.
Isn’t that the place where that failure Zhang Xiaoxi joined?
He glanced at the office of He Gaozhuo, sneering:
"Reception and security, having someone like me, an Assistant Commissioner, handle it?"
This fair-faced young girl shrank her neck slightly and whispered:
"Based on past situations, sending just one enforcement team was sufficient."
"However, this time Deputy Director He specifically asked for you to go. According to the regulations, indeed, indeed..."
Lin Changle awkwardly scratched her head, whispering:
"He is, after all, the Deputy Director responsible for internal affairs, and these things fall under his jurisdiction."
Zhang Fusheng glanced at the clearly inexperienced young girl, likely chosen by He Gaozhuo as his assistant to potentially cause some trouble.
Unable to do much, Zhang Fusheng waved his hand:
"Alright, I got it. First, go send the dispatch order to Dragon Boat City."
Lin Changle nodded vigorously, trotting away.
Zhang Fusheng exhaled slowly, his gaze deepening.
Chongyang City was different from Jiangzhou; the power holders at the top were not easy to approach, and the High Heaven Order was challenging to present before them.
Additionally, many places were filled with special materials, making it extremely difficult for Divine Thought to travel through.
Having ’Zhong Mountain’ meet those people was indeed troublesome—he could only meet them himself first, quietly leaving an imprint.
"So, making a name for oneself is essential..."
He indeed had to secure the Public Security Headquarters.
The position of the Public Security Headquarters in Chongyang City wasn’t exceedingly high, but it was significant; the Director General was among the ’upper echelons’ of the city.
Before descending the stairs, Zhang Fusheng glanced back at the vacant Director General’s office.
"Source Point Research Institute..."
He mouthed the name, wondering what this institute actually did.
Since they were coming from the Provincial Government in Golden City, perhaps he could incorporate their head into the High Heaven Association.
This could also serve as planting a seed in Golden City ahead of time.
He decided to check it out in the afternoon.
He also wondered if that failure Zhang Xiaoxi had actually joined; he would need to call to confirm later.
