Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"He Li? I've finally found you!"

Hearing the sound, everyone turned around.

Not far away, dozens of investigators from the Chengdu Special Bureau drove up, each with a smile on their face and carrying something in their hands, as if they were coming to offer help.

Not to mention that He Li and the others were completely bewildered by this situation.

Deng Changfeng and his two companions were also dumbfounded.

They have been on missions abroad.

Although I had seen He Li's video before, I didn't know what had happened in the bureau.

They could only guess that the bureau must be very unhappy about He Li stepping on their Rongcheng investigators to gain fame, but... how come it seems like the higher-ups aren't unhappy at all?

They looked at each other, bewildered.

And I had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

He Li watched them approach...

I couldn't help but ask, "What's going on here???"

The middle-aged man at the head of the group coughed twice upon hearing this, and after slightly composing himself, he spoke with a broad smile...

"Let me introduce myself!"

"Deputy Minister of the Foot and Wind Department of the Chengdu Special Bureau".

"My name is Dian Shuda!"

"I brought people here specifically to find you."

"You were recommended by Deputy Director Li Qing to participate in our Five Cities Conference."

"We had already arranged for someone to receive you."

"We still value you very much."

"I just didn't expect that those below would be outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant..."

"Oh! I'm so sorry you had to go through all this trouble!"

Dian Shuda spoke with great emotion, and at the end he even pretended to be sad for He Li. He Li could tell from their behavior that they had come to salvage their reputation.

Right now, the Chengdu Special Bureau's Sky Eye Division is probably filming here, waiting to send the video.

Thinking of this, He Li's eyes darted around.

He turned slightly to glance at the three people blocking their way.

Then he looked at Dian Shuda with a smile.

Seeing He Li like this, the three people who had stopped them earlier immediately felt their eyelids twitching and knew that something was wrong. They weren't stupid; they knew from He Li's expression that he was definitely going to complain.

"Damn it! This is bad!!!"

"No? Is that right?"

"They gain fame by stepping on our people, and yet the higher-ups still have to eagerly come to curry favor with them?"

"Where's your face? Your face is all stomped on!!!"

"Have the higher-ups considered our feelings?"

"Damn it, I've figured it out now. The higher-ups are going to bow to their so-called reputation and the bigger picture. Those of us who didn't get any advance notice can only accept our bad luck!"

"I should have kept quiet."

"Now that we've offended He Li, if he complains, the higher-ups will definitely punish us to appease him!"

"Ugh! What terrible luck..."

All three were extremely frustrated.

He Li, as expected, spoke up, "Feeling wronged?"

"We have indeed suffered a great deal of injustice!"

Hmm? Upon hearing this, Dian Shuda, who was all smiles on his face, immediately sensed that something was amiss, and only then did he notice the three investigators behind He Li and the others.

Immediately, his expression changed, and he imagined many scenes of He Li being harassed again.

However, he maintained a smile on the surface.

If you feel wronged, just say so.

"Our Rongcheng Special Bureau will never tolerate those investigators who act recklessly. Of course, we will also compensate you guests for any unfair treatment you have suffered!"

"Look, these two Spirit Heart Pills and three bottles of Spirit Qi Pills are our compensation to you."

As he spoke, he took out some things.

He Li accepted it without any hesitation.

But he sighed and said, "We had already suffered quite a bit of injustice before."

"You personally sent someone to apologize..."

"I'm prepared to accept it too."

"But just now, we were once again harassed by investigators from your Special Affairs Bureau, which makes me... really unable to have a good impression of your Special Affairs Bureau!"

I knew it!

Upon hearing He Li's words, Dian Shuda gave a wry smile.

He couldn't help but glare fiercely at the three people opposite him.

It was something that could have been resolved immediately.

Now things are even more complicated, and He Li, that kid, doesn't intend to admit anything after accepting the gifts.

Does that mean... he wants something else?

Dian Shuda's mind raced.

He couldn't help but ask the three people opposite him what had happened. Seeing this, they didn't dare to hide anything and told him the whole story in detail.

He Li believed that after understanding the situation, the higher-ups of the Rongcheng Special Bureau would punish those three people.

Then allow yourself to exercise law enforcement power.

However, things didn't go as he expected...

"So, they wanted to enforce the law across city lines, and you were just upholding the law and offering advice?"

Suddenly, Dian Shuda asked.

His tone was much calmer, no longer showing the anger he had felt when the three of them acted recklessly. This made He Li, Yu Ji, and the others vaguely realize that something was amiss.

Of course, the three people on the other side noticed it too.

They were delighted.

Judging from the change in their boss's tone, it was clear that they didn't think they had done anything wrong...

They even wanted to downplay the issue.

They were delighted and nodded in response...

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

"We didn't deliberately make things difficult for them."

"They don't have law enforcement power to begin with. We only advised them because we were worried they would cause trouble. We never expected that... our good intentions would be taken for granted."

"Exactly, they even tattle on each other..."

"I thought that an investigator who could say 'wherever I go, there is heaven' must be incredibly upright and capable..."

"I never expected him to be this kind of person!"

The three of them chatted amongst themselves.

Dian Shuda squinted but didn't stop him.

He saw a good opportunity to smear He Li and reduce He Li's negative impact on the Rongcheng Special Bureau; in his view, as long as everyone knew that He Li also had problems...

Naturally, they wouldn't idolize him as much.

Furthermore, since his affairs have less impact on the Rongcheng Special Bureau, they no longer need to compromise with He Li.

"Judging from the way this kid acted before, he clearly wanted to take this opportunity to ask me for more benefits."

"I was already prepared to have my blood drawn."

"But now it seems that we've saved on supplies."

Dian Shuda was secretly pleased.

After the three finished speaking, he raised his head and put on the air of an elder, looking at He Li and saying, "Little He, although we were indeed not hospitable to you before."

"But you can't just do whatever you want!"

"Cross-city law enforcement requires prior application."

"If everyone acted like you, ignoring the rules and abusing their privileges, wouldn't things be chaotic? Who would be responsible for all the problems that arose?"

"So, Xiao He..."

Hearing this, He Li frowned.

Humility is key when there's a problem.

"Why is Xiao He here all of a sudden?" He sneered inwardly.

Before Dian Shuda could finish speaking, he interrupted, "So you also think they're not wrong?"

"For you, the little troubles investigators might cause during their investigations are far more serious than the dangers that criminals and monsters pose to the public and society?"

"You'd rather obstruct our investigation and let those criminals and monsters continue to run rampant..."

"They're not even willing to support our investigation?"

He stared coldly at Dian Shuda.

The latter broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.

Is this something you can ask in front of a "camera"?

He quickly stepped forward and lowered his voice: "We can give you compensation after we discuss it later, but you can't escalate or make things more complicated..."

"And then they'll just cause us more trouble?"

"You..." He wanted to say something more.

He Li's expression changed.

"Stop giving me that useless advice."

"Compensation? I don't need that. I just need Chengdu's law enforcement authority to let me solve those cases, deal with the criminals and the monsters, and protect more people from their threats!"

"If you can't solve something yourself, you can't expect others to solve it either, can you?"

He Li questioned in a cold voice.

Dian Shuda and the others were sweating profusely.

That kid is a real bastard!

They keep asking sensitive questions, and always try to escalate the situation by involving the public and society, then try to pin a few dirty tricks on the Chengdu Special Affairs Bureau...

Are they really trying to destroy the Chengdu Special Bureau?

How can there be such a troublemaker?

Dian Shuda was extremely upset.

However, what upset him even more was yet to come...

Beep beep beep!!

At that moment, He Li heard a sound from his watch. He subconsciously raised his left hand and glanced at the watch...

[Please note!!!]

[Following discussions among high-ranking officials in Kyoto, you have been granted nationwide enforcement authority for a limited period of 30 days. You can now exercise your investigator rights anywhere in Great Xia...]

Hmm? Kyoto...national law enforcement authority? ???

Upon seeing the message, He Li immediately beamed with joy.

His gaze also fell upon Dian Shuda.

"I don't care about Chengdu's law enforcement power!"

He suddenly spoke, and upon hearing this, Dian Shuda and the other Rongcheng investigators breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that He Li had suddenly come to his senses and was no longer stubbornly insisting on continuing.

The trio, in particular, looked on with disdain.

What's the logic? He's nothing special either.

As they were thinking this, He Li's next words sent chills down their spines...

"Kyoto granted me nationwide law enforcement authority!"

"Now……"

"Who dares to stop me?!"
