"I heard his The Way of the Extraordinary ID is Sanqing Daozu, profession unknown." The woman in the cheongsam unfolded the A4 paper in her hand, "This is a portrait drawn by someone from the Public Security Bureau."

It's standard practice for the Spirit Association to have informants planted within the Public Security Bureau. The major branches of the Five Elements Alliance like to set up their offices in the Public Security Bureau, so by developing ordinary security guards or clerks into informants, they can gain a clearer understanding of the official Extraordinary's movements.

This is a conspiracy in plain sight. The Five Elements Alliance can provide official Extraordinary with comprehensive physical examinations, but they don't have the authority to do the same for the Public Security Bureau and internal officials.

The number of official Extraordinary is limited, but the number of public officials is unlimited and they are easily corrupted, making it impossible to defend against The Way of the Extraordinary.

The Five Elements Alliance is well aware of this, so they rarely reveal confidential information or actions to security guards.

Even when taking security guards along for operations, they don't disclose everything.

Douye took a quick glance at the portrait and then shifted his gaze. "There's no one like this among the level six Saints of the Five Elements Alliance."

He pondered for a few seconds and said, "Tell the members in the casinos to refrain from going out for the time being and observe. Anyway, the stronghold in Nanming City hasn't been attacked. That senior executive wouldn't dare come here. If he continues to cause trouble, he'll transfer his base of operations and someone will naturally deal with him."

The entire Nanming City only has six strongholds, involving cash, assets, and items worth only a few hundred million, which isn't worth him launching a large-scale hunt for a senior executive. That would attract experts from the Qinghe Clan.

The Qinghe Clan's The Way of the Extraordinary are hands-off managers, not interfering in anything. The Spirit Association appreciates their discretion, and everyone has been living in peace and prosperity for years.

No one wants to break this tacit understanding.

In a flash, three days passed. Zhang Yuanqing took his three female teammates to explore Nanming City. Although it was a small border city, Nanming's scenery was excellent.

Zhang Yuanqing, under the guise of sightseeing, explored all the mountains and rivers in the Nanming City area.

Biro Village, low hills connected to low hills, green water flowing from the mountains, flowing to the continuous farmland, the rice ears in the fields rising and falling like waves. Villagers wearing straw hats bent over to harvest the rice.

Annie, wearing a large-brimmed women's hat, climbed to the top of the mountain, took out a wet wipe to wipe away sweat. Her beautiful white face was covered with red patches. Without delicate makeup and without a workplace suit, she looked even more lively and vivid.

"I'm so tired, we've been walking all day, Brother Yuanshi, let's take a break." Xie Lingxi gasped.

Sweat trickled down the girl's slender neck, and strands of hair stuck wetly to her porcelain-white nape.

The Love Desire and Musician professions are not known for their physical strength, and running all over the mountains for a day was exhausting.

On the other hand, the Queen wasn't red in the face or short of breath, and didn't even sweat.

"I'll get you some clear water!" She walked to the mountain stream and reached out.

Two washbasin-sized balls of water broke away from the stream, suspended in mid-air under the Queen's control. She put her hand into the water balls for a few seconds, "Purified, do you two want to drink?"

She pushed the water balls in front of Annie and Xie Lingxi.

Annie leaned forward, her red lips lightly touching the surface of the water ball, took a sip, and shook her head in disappointment: "Not sweet, you purified all the minerals."

She scooped up a handful of water to wash her face, wiped it clean, and looked at Zhang Yuanqing: "Mr. Yuanshi, this mountain is close to the farmland. I saw villagers entering the mountain just now. Hades shouldn't choose to sleep here."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded in agreement: "If even one villager goes missing during the three days of sleep, the Public Security Bureau will be here. This mountain range isn't dense, so we can rule it out. Let's continue this afternoon. There are still two and a half days left before Hades sleeps."

In three days, they had explored almost all of the mountainous areas near Nanming City, locking down six locations that Hades might choose.

According to the information from the headquarters of the Goddess Association, Hades' character flaw is jealousy.

He's jealous of those who are stronger, more handsome, or richer than him. Hades is jealous of anyone who has advantages he doesn't, and he destroys them.

From the current perspective, this character flaw is of no use.

As The Way of the Extraordinary, Hades' level of life is beyond that of ordinary people. There aren't many people who can make him jealous.

It can also be avoided, as long as you stay in a place with few people.

So the safest method is still Zhang Yuanqing's previous plan: first scout the location, then wait for the target to fall asleep, use Star Gazing to do initial positioning, and finally gather people to search.

"Speaking of which, the war merits have been reported, why hasn't the announcement been issued yet?" Zhang Yuanqing led the three down the mountain, "I'm still waiting for the moral value reward."

"Isn't it normal for the official process to be slower? There are procedures upon procedures, and people like to slack off. As long as it's not a matter of saving lives or putting out fires, they'll delay as long as they can." The Queen curled her lips, "I even wanted to be a clerk before, it's so comfortable to slack off, it's a secure job anyway." Just as she was speaking, the phone in Zhang Yuanqing's pocket rang.

The caller was Drug Chaser.

While going down the mountain, he answered the phone: "What's the matter?" Drug Chaser's tone was serious: "Where are you? You'd better come back immediately."

Zhang Yuanqing frowned slightly: "What happened?"

"The Qinghe branch's reviewers have arrived with people from the investigation department, they want to see you!" Drug Chaser said in a deep voice: "About the stolen money."

It is a serious crime for official Extraordinary to embezzle stolen money, especially when the amount is close to 100 million. If it were a public official, the sentence would be twenty years at best, and death at worst.

Zhang Yuanqing chuckled dismissively: "Just say I'm gone, not in the Nanming branch. Don't mention that I gave money to the branch employees."

For most The Way of the Extraordinary, this is indeed a serious crime.

But Zhang Yuanqing doesn't care at all. Embezzling stolen money is just imprisonment and disciplinary action, which affects promotions. But his current relationship with headquarters means he can forget about promotions.

He's already the lowest-level employee.

The rest is just imprisonment, but headquarters won't imprison him for this, because Yuanshi Tianzun is already desperate. If they push him any further, he'll defect from the Five Elements Alliance. Before there are any issues of principle, headquarters won't punish him for this kind of thing. Is this amount of money a matter of principle in the eyes of headquarters? Obviously not.

Drug Chaser said in a deep voice: "It's not that simple. The investigation department is from the Qinghe Clan. Also, the investigation department already knows that you gave the money to the branch members. They have now confiscated the stolen money and want to recover the portion you embezzled."

"I don't like the word 'embezzled', it will damage my relationship with the Demon Eye Heavenly King." Zhang Yuanqing corrected him, then said, "Don't you have your own system? Why are people from the Qinghe Clan involved?"

The official administration of the Baigui Province is centered on the Qinghe Clan, but this is only in name. The Qinghe Clan doesn't manage anything. The real administrative center is the Xini branch. Similar to the Hangzhou branch in Jiangnan Province, where two elders are stationed.

"The Qinghe branch is, after all, the highest-level leading department. They don't manage things because they're lazy. Once they want to manage, all the branches in Baigui Province have to listen. This is respect for an organization that is comparable to a demigod." Drug Chaser explained.

"Then why do they want to manage now?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

"The Qinghe branch manages the financial power. The seized stolen money, according to the process, must be handed over to the Qinghe Clan." Drug Chaser said pointedly, "You embezzled the stolen money, which is equivalent to robbing them of their money, robbing them of 100 million. If you don't hand over the stolen money, they won't recognize this operation, and the brothers won't get any merits."

I worked so hard to find the stronghold, I single-handedly killed the enemy, when did my hard-earned money become theirs? Zhang Yuanqing sneered, "Tell them to wash their necks and wait."

Hanging up the phone, Xie Lingxi immediately asked: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"Go back to the Nanming branch and clean up a few clueless little guys." Zhang Yuanqing said expressionlessly.

Nanming City Branch, office area.

The frosted glass door was tightly closed, and all the members of the branch were sitting quietly in their positions, heads lowered, with depressed expressions and a heavy atmosphere.

An hour ago, their salary cards and all bank cards under their names were frozen. The leaders of the Qinghe branch demanded that they hand over the stolen money within three days and decided to give the Nanming City branch a notice of criticism, deducting this year's performance bonus.

The 160,000 yuan hadn't even warmed up before it was robbed, and the year-end bonus was gone.

It all depended on whether Director Sanqing Daozu was willing to cooperate. If his attitude was better and he handed over the stolen money, the Qinghe branch might make an exception.

"I thought I could make a fortune, I even went to see a house today..." Wang Xiaoer sighed.

"I just ordered a new car at the 4S store, and I've already paid the deposit. My old car has been driven for several years, and I've always wanted to replace it!" A female employee frowned, her face bitter. Others either smiled wryly or sighed, gloomy and miserable.

"Director Daozu isn't from our Qinghe branch, don't start a conflict." A female employee said in a low voice.

"There won't be a conflict, unless it's an elder, otherwise it's all the same. It's enough for the Qinghe branch to send an email to Songhai. If it goes to headquarters, a leader of his level won't suffer too much punishment, but an internal organizational warning is enough to make him miserable." Liang Shan Shui Shi said.

At this time, the frosted glass door opened, and the ordinary-looking Sanqing Daozu returned with three beautiful female teammates.

The employees in the office area stood up at once, with joy mixed with worry.

"Where are the people from the Qinghe Clan?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

Wang Xiaoer immediately got up to greet him and whispered, "They're in the office next door, the leader is reprimanding Director Drug Chaser, please remember to be cautious!"

The others also looked at him with pleading eyes. They no longer expected to receive dividends, as long as the Qinghe branch could dispel the idea of ​​punishment and keep the bonus, it would be a stable landing.

Wang Xiaoer knew what everyone was thinking and reminded the Fire Master Daozu, "The leader of the investigation department is said to be in charge of the Qinghe Clan's laws, and he's very strict, don't escalate the conflict." After saying that, he waited for Sanqing Daozu's big reaction. Unexpectedly, this Fire Master from Songhai nodded and asked, "Elder Chang?"

Wang Xiaoer shook his head repeatedly, "How could Elder Chang manage these small matters."

If it's not Elder Chang, what am I afraid of? Below Elder Chang, I'm invincible, above Elder Chang... Zhang Yuanqing muttered a few words in his heart, bypassed Wang Xiao, and walked towards the conference room. Halfway there, he suddenly turned back and slapped Wang Xiaoer on the head.

"Don't escalate the conflict? Are you teaching me how to do things!" Wang Xiaoer covered his head: "???"

Zhang Yuanqing ignored him, crossed the office area, and pushed open the door of the conference room.

Four people were sitting in the spacious office. The first person was a thin, middle-aged man with the Qinghe Clan's unique dark complexion. He was not tall, about 1.7 meters.

His dress was not the blue-based ethnic costume with exquisite patterns that Zhang Yuanqing had imagined, but a serious casual suit, with a strict and rigid temperament, exuding cold arrogance.

The other two were a middle-aged man and a young man, wearing white shirts and trousers.

"You are also an experienced director, how could you do such a thing? Do you really think the branch is stupid? We suspect that the entire Nanming City branch has a problem." The Qinghe Clan leader was reprimanding Drug Chaser. When the conference room door was pushed open, he deliberately amplified his tone, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"As a director, you have no rules and no discipline. Do you even have the Five Elements Alliance in your eyes?"

The employees outside heard it and cast worried glances.

"Yo!" The middle-aged man in the white shirt stood up, looked at Zhang Yuanqing, and then at the stern-faced Drug Chaser: "This is Director Sanqing Daozu, right? Come, come, sit down!"

He pointed to the empty seat next to Drug Chaser.

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the Qinghe Clan leader and sat down next to Drug Chaser.

"Let me introduce myself," the middle-aged man in the white shirt seemed to be very good at livening up the atmosphere, "Sixth team leader of the investigation department of the Xini branch, The Way of the Extraordinary ID is Jutou Youshenming. This is the deputy minister of the investigation department of the Qinghe branch, The Way of the Extraordinary ID is Ying Su."

The Qinghe Clan's Minister Ying Su looked straight ahead and didn't even look at Zhang Yuanqing.

He finally introduced the young man: "Like me, the team leader of the third team of the investigation department of the Xini branch."

The young man in the white shirt reported his name: "The Way of the Extraordinary ID is Luosifen."

Good name, you've made me hungry, Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart.

Jutou Youshenming sat down and said: "That's right, you probably know the purpose of our visit, this stolen money, it should be handed over, after all, it's a matter of discipline."

"It will be handed over." Zhang Yuanqing nodded: "Handed over to the Songhai branch."

Jutou Youshenming was speechless, he really couldn't find anything wrong with that statement.

"Handed over to the Songhai branch?" The Qinghe Clan's Minister Ying Su said coldly: "When did the people from the Songhai branch have law enforcement power here? The Spirit Association's stronghold was wiped out by the Nanming branch. The war merits and stolen money should be received by us."

"The stolen money I confiscated has nothing to do with you." Zhang Yuanqing shook his head and refused.

"Director Sanqing Daozu, let's call you Sanqing Daozu, we have checked you, the Five Elements Alliance doesn't have this The Way of the Extraordinary ID at all." Minister Ying Su's tone was cold and strong: "You have seriously violated the Five Elements Alliance's discipline by embezzling the stolen money seized by the Nanming branch. If you don't hand it over to the Qinghe branch, we are qualified to temporarily detain you and then report it to headquarters."

This deputy minister was not intimidated by the other party's level, and still maintained his stubborn arrogance. The people of the Qinghe Clan should be stubborn and arrogant.

"I'll say it again, my money has nothing to do with you." Zhang Yuanqing's attitude remained unchanged, "No one can rob me of money, even Fu Qingyang has to obediently offer me money when he sees me."

Minister Ying Su pointed to the camera behind him and said coldly: "You will be responsible for what you say."

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at him and stretched out his hands: "Come, handcuff me!"

The atmosphere in the office suddenly stiffened.
