Chapter 89 Estrangement!

Upon hearing this, Li He remained silent.

There was only silence.

She agreed with Zhang Tao's words.

But she didn't want Tu Yuan to suffer the same hardships at Zhenghe Police Station.

Women are generally more emotional.

She had a very good impression of Tu Yuan, but she secretly favored him.

I still feel that Tu Yuan suffered a loss in this matter.

Seeing that Li He remained silent, Zhang Tao said with a wry smile, "Alright, alright!"

"I can find someone to transfer him."

"But where should we transfer it to?!"

"I'm also short-staffed at the Shizhong District Public Security Bureau. Should I send Tu Yuan with me there?!"

"He's young and talented; there's no need for him to come with me."

"Moreover, for him, honing his skills at the grassroots level is not a bad thing."

Starting too quickly can easily lead to a lack of sustained momentum.

"I'm not heartless. Do you think I don't know that Tu Yuan has been running around for me lately?! Besides, he's meticulous in his work. With him as my assistant officer, I'm much less worried than before."

"I'm doing this for his own good!"

Seeing Zhang Tao's earnest explanation, Li He finally spoke slowly, "Alright then! Let's do it your way!"

"Besides, who knows, Ren Tu Yuan might be able to make a name for himself on his own!"

Zhang Tao, who had been feeling heavy-hearted, smiled upon hearing this.

He was genuinely amused by Li He's words.

I just felt that Li He was too naive to have such thoughts.

However, he didn't deny Li He's statement verbally; he simply smiled and said, "I would love to see that happen!"

Tu Yuan had already left the neighborhood where Zhang Tao lived by this time.

I got into a taxi.

He was unaware of the conversation between Li He and Zhang Tao after he left.

By this time, he had calmed down.

For Tu Yuan, even if Shen Xin makes a comeback and wants to continue targeting him.

Unless Shen Xin is mentally unstable, he shouldn't use the same tricks against me again.

At most, we can use some soft knives.

After all, Shen Yongli has just gone through such a storm, and there must be a lot of people watching him.

As Shen Yongli's son, Shen Xin certainly wouldn't dare to act as recklessly as before.

It's very likely that Shen Xin will continue to keep a low profile, at least until the dust settles on Shen Jing's matter.

With this assessment, Tu Yuan was no longer so wary of Shen Xin.

Even if Shen Xin used some official business at the institute to cause trouble and make things difficult for him.

These are all within his capabilities.

Moreover, after this breakthrough, he transformed into a martial arts practitioner.

Tu Yuan discovered that he seemed to genuinely not encounter any terrifying hallucinations during his breakthroughs.

In other words, it is a spiritual shock to one's inner world.

This time, he only felt emptiness, coupled with the pain in his body.

It's similar to when I first broke through.

Two breakthroughs were enough for Tu Yuan to make this basic judgment.

Of course, two instances do not necessarily prove that his judgment is accurate.

However, that was Tu Yuan's intuition.

If subsequent breakthroughs in martial arts are also like this, then this judgment is basically accurate.

In this way, Tu Yuan will naturally face one less obstacle when breaking through the bottleneck.

This is undoubtedly a great thing.

I made my way home.

Tu Yuan glanced at the time; it was a little past 10:50.

He immediately began to adjust his state and prepare to start today's practice.

After becoming a second-stage martial artist, his physical abilities improved in all aspects, allowing him to withstand more of the effects of the medicine.

Therefore, Tu Yuan now drinks more than twice as much red ginseng medicinal wine as before.

This training session lasted only four hours before Tu Yuan's body reached its limit.

This is because after the second transformation into a martial arts performer, he will begin using the remaining twelve movements from the thirteenth version of the body-strengthening method.

The thirteenth edition of the Body Tempering Method has a total of forty-eight complete training movements and nine variations in breathing rhythm.

Before becoming a second-stage martial artist, one can only practice using the first thirty-six movements and the first six breathing rhythms.

Only after breaking through to the second stage of martial arts can he begin to fully utilize all movements and breathing rhythms in his cultivation.

After breaking through to become a martial artist, there will be internal cultivation techniques to increase one's strength.

Even ordinary people don't need to spend money to buy internal cultivation techniques.

You can obtain it directly after registering with the Martial Arts Association.

Tu Yuan was looking at the cultivation progress in his mind.

[Thirteenth Edition Body Tempering Method: 2/100 (Second Transformation Martial Artist)]

"Four hours of training only resulted in a slight increase in progress!"

"It will only take me less than four months to reach the perfect level of the second transformation martial artist."

"But this progress is based on the fact that I have access to martial arts resources such as red ginseng medicinal wine."

"Without these martial arts resources, my cultivation progress would likely be drastically slowed down!"

"I can ask Xiao Qing later which resources are fastest for increasing cultivation progress in the second stage of martial arts."

"A higher price is fine, as long as I can try to break through to the Martial Arts Master realm in the shortest possible time, then it's worth it."

.

"Time waits for no one!"

"Fortunately, I still have money on hand, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to think like that."

After contemplating matters related to cultivation, Tu Yuan took a shower and went to sleep.

After recording the day's intelligence early the next morning, he rushed to the Zhenghe Police Station.

The Zhenghe Police Station remained calm today.

It seems the news of Zhang Tao's impending transfer hasn't spread yet.

Tu Yuan continued to diligently perform his duties as an assistant police officer, without the slightest negligence.

They seemed completely unaffected by Zhang Tao's impending transfer.

Tu Yuan's composure made Zhang Tao feel somewhat ashamed.

He is a second-tier martial artist and also the director of Zhenghe Police Station.

He was not as good as his own assistant in adjusting his own condition.

However, influenced by Tu Yuan, Zhang Tao no longer worried about being appointed as the captain of the security squadron of the Shizhong District Public Security Bureau.

First, we need to do a good job at the Zhenghe Police Station.

Those in a position should fulfill their duties.

Once he got into work mode, Zhang Tao started thinking about how he had made a breakthrough when he was working at the Shizhong District Branch, and he began to come up with some plans and ideas.

Tu Yuan had originally planned to go to the branch office today to get his skills certified.

First, raise their police rank.

Zhang Tao then told him to wait a few more days.

There's no need to rush this.

Tu Yuan followed Zhang Tao's advice and didn't rush to get his skills certified.

A day passed quietly.

After get off work, it's Tu Yuan's time to cultivate.

Cultivate oneself, take a bath, and sleep.

It's an extremely regular life.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Tu Yuan carefully recorded the intelligence he gathered each day.

Early on the fourth day.

As usual, Tu Yuan changed into his uniform and checked the day's intelligence.

[Today's News: At 3:19 PM today, Deng Shilin, the granddaughter of a retired police chief, was forcibly abducted and assaulted by three men on Yuyang Road in Guhe Community.]

Upon seeing this intelligence report...

Tu Yuan's pupils contracted.

"The granddaughter of a retired police station chief?!"

"Which administrative district's retired branch chief is he from in Shengyun City?!"

"If we look up the name Deng Shilin at the police station, we should be able to find out which retired branch director she is!"

With this in mind, Tu Yuan did not hesitate at all.

He quickly pushed open the door and went straight to the police station.

As soon as Tu Yuan arrived at the entrance of the police station, he saw Ma Xiaolian looking in his direction from the doorway of the large office on the first floor of the office building.

As soon as Tu Yuan's figure appeared in front of the door.

Ma Xiaolian then jogged towards Tu Yuan.

Tu Yuan looked at Ma Xiaolian and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic so early in the morning?"

Ma Xiaolian came to Tu Yuan's side and then secretly glanced around.

He quickly whispered, "Brother Yuan! I heard the director is getting promoted?!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Yuan immediately understood.

The news that Zhang Tao was going to be transferred had already spread and could no longer be kept secret.

"Yes! That's how it is!"

"But where did you hear that news from?"

"I overheard Captain He and the others talking about this; they probably learned about it from Deputy Director Sun as well."

"Brother Yuan, you really have to be careful now that the director is gone!"

"I just heard Captain He mention your name. It sounded like he was going to cause you trouble after the director is transferred."

"They said you embarrassed him."

Ma Xiaolian spoke cautiously, still observing Tu Yuan's expression.

Upon hearing Ma Xiaolian's words, Tu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Is He Senjie going to cause trouble for me after Zhang Suo leaves?!

And you even claim you embarrassed him?!

Tu Yuan immediately recalled He Senguang, whom he had met a few days ago when he had dinner with Guo Xin.

"Does He Senjie feel that he lost face in front of his brother because of that incident?"

"I've been keeping my resentment to myself because of Zhang."

"Now that Director Zhang is gone, he's trying to take this opportunity to save face!"

"This guy, no wonder he followed Sun Guangrong! His ability to change his expression is exactly the same as Sun Guangrong's!"

Tu Yuan thought to himself, but his expression didn't change much.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaolian looked somewhat puzzled.

He had thought that Tu Yuan's expression would be unpleasant upon hearing this news.

He didn't expect Tu Yuan to be so calm.

This left him somewhat disappointed.

Ma Xiaolian's feelings about Tu Yuan becoming the assistant police officer of the station chief were actually quite complicated.

At first, he was happy and envious, but as time went by, his mindset began to change.

Originally, Tu Yuan's status in the station was equal to his own, but he found that even the patrol team leader and other people became polite and careful in front of Tu Yuan.

He began to feel increasingly unbalanced, and even started to feel a growing jealousy towards Tu Yuan.

So when he told Tu Yuan this news today, there was a slight element of wanting to see Tu Yuan make a fool of himself.

This is also why he was disappointed when he saw Tu Yuan remain calm.

Of course, Tu Yuan's promotion to assistant police officer also brought Ma Xiaolian many benefits.

He now goes out on police missions about two-thirds less often than before.

Moreover, many people's attitudes toward him have gradually changed from indifference or disdain to a more polite attitude, and they will take the initiative to greet and chat with him.

Because of this recent change, he has also heard a lot of news, satisfying his strong gossip-loving heart.

All of this was because of his close relationship with Tu Yuan.

Ma Xiaolian understood this, and he also knew that he shouldn't be jealous of Tu Yuan, as he was also a beneficiary of Tu Yuan's rise in status.

But he just couldn't suppress the jealousy in his heart.

The main reason is that the difference in their social status is much greater than before.

It was something he couldn't accept.

Tu Yuan noticed Ma Xiaolian's little scheme when he looked into her eyes.

But he didn't care.

He understood Ma Xiaolian's personality.

In his view, Ma Xiaolian was not someone he could get close to, but his ability to gather information was indeed valuable.

Therefore, he maintained a certain degree of distance from Ma Xiaolian, but at the same time made Ma Xiaolian feel that they had a good relationship.

"I understand! I already knew about Zhang's transfer a couple of days ago!"

"But I still want to thank you for telling me all this."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Have you eaten yet? I'm about to go to the cafeteria for breakfast, do you want to come along?"

Hearing Tu Yuan say this, Ma Xiaolian waved her hand and said, "I've already eaten! Brother Yuan, you can go eat by yourself!"

"I'm going back to my office now!"

After Ma Xiaolian arrived at the police station, he noticed that Tu Yuan was not there, so he would wait for Tu Yuan to have breakfast together.

But today I heard the news that Director Zhang is going to be transferred.

He subconsciously dared not be as intimate with Tu Yuan as before, so he went to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Tu Yuan understood this point after hearing Ma Xiaolian's words.

He had only four words to describe Ma Xiaolian's behavior: short-sighted.

Many people know about Ma Xiaolian's relationship with herself.

Even though Ma Xiaolian started to distance herself from him at this time, it didn't affect others' perception of their relationship from the same perspective as before.

Even if they really cut ties, Ma Xiaolian will only be seen as a villain in other people's eyes.

However, Tu Yuan could have anticipated Ma Xiaolian's choice.

Ma Xiaolian is a typical example of someone with petty cleverness but lacking in strategic vision.

Tu Yuan chuckled lightly, his laughter carrying an indescribable meaning: "Alright! You go ahead and get busy, I'll go eat by myself."

After saying that, Tu Yuan strode towards the cafeteria.

On the way to the cafeteria, Tu Yuan also vaguely sensed the change in other people's attitudes toward him.

Although I also took the initiative to greet him.

However, the expression on his face was more distant and less enthusiastic than before.

This made Tu Yuan sneer inwardly.

This is the epitome of the fickleness of human relationships.

He brought a bowl of vegetable porridge, four large meat buns, and two pancakes.

Tu Yuan sat down in a seat.

As soon as Tu Yuan sat down, a faint scent of herbs and trees wafted over.

Then a figure sat down opposite him.

Without even looking up, Tu Yuan recognized the other person's identity from the fragrance; it was Yu Lili.

At this moment, Tu Yuan looked up and saw Yu Lili nod slightly to him before silently starting to eat.

Tu Yuan knew that Yu Lili was not talkative.

At this moment, Yu Lili and he were sitting at the same table eating, but Yu Lili was showing her support for him in her own way.

Yu Lili's actions warmed Tu Yuan's heart.

This is what they mean by "a friend in need is a friend indeed".

However, Tu Yuan was deep in thought at this moment.

After rescuing Deng Shilin this afternoon, I should be able to gain the favor of this unknown police station chief.

It's just unknown how much influence this retired police station chief still has.

However, gaining the favor of a retired police station chief is a good thing no matter how you look at it.

This presents Tu Yuan with yet another opportunity to expand his network of relationships!

Tu Yuan knew the importance of his network of relationships, especially within the federal government. One can be aloof and self-admiring, but one cannot be isolated and helpless!
