Twisted Dreams-Chapter 161 - 133: Is This Really a Director? More Like a Bandit.

Chapter 161: Chapter 133: Is This Really a Director? More Like a Bandit.

Imperial Capital, Security Administration Tower.

Cao Yi stood downstairs, examining the Security Administration Tower.

It was very simple, even old, incomparable to the South Sea Public Security Bureau.

A woman in a black suit walked out from the building’s entrance. Upon seeing Cao Yi, she greeted him with a smile:

"Hello, you must be Director Cao?"

Cao Yi extended his hand:

"Cao Yi."

The woman shook hands with Cao Yi graciously, bowed politely, and said:

"I am your secretary, my name is Zhou Ziyi. Please look after me in the future."

Cao Yi’s status was special.

He could defeat Wu Xiaofeng with one punch; becoming a Senior Administrator was no problem.

He wasn’t just a Senior Administrator of the Security Administration, he was also the Director of the South Sea Public Security Bureau.

This meant Cao Yi wouldn’t be stationed in the Imperial Capital permanently, but would return to the South Sea.

Thus, a secretary like this was needed to report the Security Administration’s work to Cao Yi at all times.

Zhou Ziyi gestured invitingly, smiling as she said:

"First, I’ll take you to your office to review some materials of the Security Administration before we have a security management meeting."

Under Zhou Ziyi’s guidance, Cao Yi arrived at his office.

The office was small, incomparable to the grand Director’s office in the South Sea.

Many documents were already laid out on the desk.

Cao Yi opened the topmost document and began to read:

"Anomaly File, Record:

Anomalous Creature Serial No. 001: Codename, King of Hell.

Introduction: The ancient and even more mysterious Lord of Hell.

The meaning of Hell does not exclude the legendary real Hell...

...

Anomalous Creature Serial No. 003: Codename, Eight-foot Bride.

Introduction: A mighty figure from the Tang Dynasty Hell...

...

Anomalous Creature Serial No. 009: Xie Qilin.

Introduction: Owner of the oil paper umbrella, driver of the Eight-foot Bride, Young Master Xie of the Imperial Capital.

Left home as a child to learn Buddhism...

...

Cao Yi sighed:

"As expected of the authorities, the Security Administration has only been established for half a year, and it already has so much information about the Extraordinary World."

Cao Yi continued to flip through the files, his brow gradually furrowing.

There was no information about the pharmacy owner.

"That owner is far beyond what the current authorities can discover!

The more I interact with that owner, the more mysterious they seem."

Cao Yi muttered, suddenly giving a self-mocking smile:

"Of course, he can easily give me combat power comparable to a Senior Administrator."

Cao Yi was a smart man.

He would never mention the pharmacy owner to others.

That mysterious pharmacy owner was his greatest secret.

...

Security Administration, Conference Hall.

Elder He convened a security management meeting. Except for Zhang Xiaoyi, all administrators above intermediate level were present.

Elder He took a sip of tea, happily saying:

"Let me introduce a new comrade to everyone.

Hmm, many people know of this comrade, have heard of him.

Cao Yi, currently serving as the Director of the South Sea Public Security Bureau.

And it has been decided after a meeting of the higher-ups that he will also join the Security Administration as a Senior Administrator."

The crowd applauded.

Many present were from the public security system.

Anyone from the public security system couldn’t have not heard of the Living Yama, Cao Yi.

This Director Cao also had a very profound background.

Many veterans in the public security system knew Elder He was once a teacher at the University of Political Science and Law, and Cao Yi was his student.

There had been a proposal to let Cao Yi join the Security Administration, but Elder He rejected it.

Elder He believed the South Sea was very important; in today’s era of Spiritual Energy Revival, the security of the South Sea must not be disturbed.

He only felt at ease with Cao Yi stationed in the South Sea.

Now that Cao Yi had become an Extraordinary, he had to join the Security Administration.

Cao Yi stood up and solemnly saluted everyone present.

Elder He pressed his hand down, signaling Cao Yi to sit down, saying:

"Xiaocao, what are your thoughts on the Security Administration right now?"

Everyone looked at Cao Yi, eager to hear the key suggestions this Director of the South Sea Public Security Bureau might offer.

Cao Yi smiled and said:

"Next, I might scold people, everyone don’t get upset."

The crowd exchanged amused glances.

Scold people?

How could that be, this is the Director of the South Sea Public Security Bureau, someone with status.

Cao Yi’s expression darkened:

"You indulge the administrators too much.

My first suggestion is that the Security Post should only cooperate with the Public Security Bureau on cases, not obstruct their operations!"

The crowd was bewildered.

Was he really scolding them?

Someone quietly glanced at the old man beside Elder He.

The one who proposed this rule was indeed the Deputy Director of the Security Administration, Zheng Qian.

Zheng Qian’s face was unpleasant as he stood up and said:

"Spiritual Energy has just revived, our comrades lack experience, administrators need to hone themselves in extraordinary events.

The Public Security Bureau’s interference in extraordinary events hinders the administrators’ growth.

Extraordinary events also help the Security Administration acquire more information on Extraordinary Civilizations.

The Security Administration specializing in extraordinary events is crucial for its development." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The words made it clear: extraordinary events were effectively being treated as tools for the Security Administration to gain experience fast.

Cao Yi coldly stared at him:

"Since the beginning of the year, seven cases have not been solved due to the obstruction of the Security Post.

Are you using the lives and property of the people as your stepping stones for growth?

I ask everyone present, what was the fundamental purpose of the Security Administration?!

Was it to turn the Security Administration into a powerful Extraordinary Organization, or to safeguard the people’s lives and safety?"

Every word was piercing.

Many lowered their heads.

Zheng Qian angrily sat back down, staring at Cao Yi speechlessly.

Of course, many administrators, including Wei Ming, had gleaming eyes.

Wei Ming secretly thought: "Brother Yi is indeed Brother Yi, so damn awesome!"

When the Security Administration was first set up, everyone worked towards the same goal.

Gradually, the Security Administration split into two different factions.

The first faction prioritized developing the strength of the Security Administration.

The second faction prioritized public security.

The two directions weren’t about right or wrong, just different stances.

Elder He mediated between them.

A middle-aged man stood up, looking discontentedly at Cao Yi:

"Comrade Cao, let’s keep it civil at the meeting; how can you defy your superiors?"

He was from Vice Director Zheng’s faction, naturally inclined to support Vice Director Zheng.

Cao Yi unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, took a small sip to moisten his throat.

The middle-aged man, seeing Cao Yi quiet down, began to lecture:

"I come from a law background, I speak bluntly. If my words are harsh, don’t be upset. You’re new to the Security Administration..."

Before he finished, Cao Yi interrupted with a cold sneer:

"I come from a military background; I hit hard. If I get heavy-handed later, don’t blame me."

The middle-aged man’s face turned green, angrily sitting in his chair.

What a Living Yama!

There’s no way to have a conversation in this environment.

This is nothing like the Director of the South Sea Public Security Bureau?!

More like a bandit!

Even worse than a bandit!

"Ahem!"

Elder He almost choked on Cao Yi’s words.

He looked at Old Zheng’s green face and tried hard not to laugh.

"Ahem, hmm—hmm!"

Elder He adjusted his expression, speaking sternly:

"Look at you, why the quarrel?

We’re all colleagues, all contributing to Xia Country.

Okay, Xiaocao, continue sharing your thoughts."

The administrators present looked at Cao Yi, some with admiration, others with discontent.

Those dissatisfied with Cao Yi dared not express it, as no one wanted to be publicly reprimanded.

Once reprimanded, there’s no retaliation.

Who would offend the Director of the South Sea Public Security Bureau and Senior Administrator over a moment of emotion?
