Intelligence updates daily; I achieve sainthood in the martial arts of the public service.

Chapter 97 Kindness!

The square black box hovered less than fifty centimeters in front of Tu Yuan.

Tu Yuan could clearly see the black lotus pattern in the upper right corner of the black box, and even the details of the pattern were clearly visible.

Tu Yuan did not reach out to take it.

He glanced at the black box briefly before looking away.

He looked at Deng Shishan and said, "Mr. Deng, I cannot accept this gift!"

"You just said that saving your daughter was my duty as a federal police officer, and according to regulations, I cannot accept your gift."

"Please take your things back; I appreciate your kind gesture."

"I still have work to do. If you don't have anything else, Mr. Deng, I'll head back to work now!"

After Tu Yuan finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.

The black box crashed directly into Tu Yuan's arms. Even with Tu Yuan's current strength as a second-stage martial artist, he was still knocked back by the impact.

Deng Shishan said expressionlessly, "I, Deng Shishan, don't like owing favors to others."

"I never intended to take this thank-you gift back after I gave it to you."

Tu Yuan didn't speak at this moment; he didn't even reach out to take the black box.

But the black box seemed to be glued to him.

Tu Yuan's expression turned slightly cold at this moment.

However, Deng Shishan seemed oblivious to the change in Tu Yuan's expression. He merely glanced at Tu Yuan indifferently before turning and getting into the car.

The black box didn't fall off Tu Yuan until the vehicle had driven more than 30 meters.

Tu Yuan didn't look at it, his gaze indifferently fixed on the departing vehicle.

Tu Yuan only looked away when the vehicle was completely out of sight.

Tu Yuan frowned. He never expected that Deng Shishan, the deputy director of the Municipal Personnel Bureau, would be such an arrogant and domineering person.

Moreover, Deng Shishan made almost no attempt to hide his disdain for him.

But he didn't understand why Deng Shishan disdained him but didn't want to owe him a favor.

Given Deng Shishan's status, there was absolutely no need for him to make this trip in person.

Moreover, he saved Deng Shilin, so no matter what, Deng Shishan didn't have to treat him like this.

In the federal government, especially among leaders, there is often a great deal of concern for their reputation.

Tu Yuan pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure out the reason.

He slowly bent down and picked up the black box from the ground.

Then he turned around and went back to the police station.

At this moment, Deng Shishan sat in the car with his eyes slightly closed.

He didn't speak.

Deng Shilin, standing to the side, silently turned her gaze to the other side, her expression gloomy and her eyes dark.

At this moment, Deng Shishan slowly spoke, "Xiaolin! Don't you think I shouldn't treat your savior like this?!"

Deng Shilin's lips trembled slightly, but she did not speak.

Deng Shishan, his eyes still closed, spoke calmly yet with a hint of sarcasm: "Xiaolin, I told you long ago that you would marry Chairman Ao's son, Ao Zhenheng. You two were engaged when you were six!"

"Chairman Ao's son is a born spiritualist; marrying him will only bring you benefits, not harm!"

"I warned you not to fall for any other man!"

"But you've fallen for that guy named Tu Yuan!"

Deng Shilin then spoke up, "I didn't!"

Deng Shilin's tone was stubborn.

Deng Shishan suddenly opened his eyes, and the air inside the car seemed to freeze at that moment.

"You didn't?! Then let me ask you!"

"Why were you so distracted when Ao Zhenheng came to visit you yesterday?! But you became radiant the moment Tu Yuan was mentioned!"

"Didn't you see the look on Ao Zhenheng's face when he left yesterday?!"

"You only have yourself to blame; you didn't know your place!"

"I'll just remind you of one thing: don't harbor any thoughts about Tu Yuan. You and he are ultimately from different worlds!"

Deng Shilin also turned her head to look at Deng Shishan at this moment.

Her eyes were red and swollen.

"Dad! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

"Stop making it sound so high and mighty! It's just that Ao Zhenheng's dad can help you get promoted!"

"I'm your own daughter! How could you treat my savior like this?! Did you even consider my feelings?!"

Snapped!

The car shook slightly; the driver's hand trembled.

Deng Shilin covered her cheeks and looked at Deng Shishan with disbelief.

Deng Shishan ignored Deng Shilin's gaze and leaned back in the back seat of the car.

"In short! I've already repaid Tu Yuan's favor of saving you!"

"I specifically asked a friend at the city pharmacy to buy that box of medicine. Tu Yuan didn't suffer any losses in this matter. I also told your uncle to keep an eye on Tu Yuan!"

"What I'm doing today is to help you, and also to help your savior."

"Ao Zhenheng has been spoiled since childhood and can't tolerate any injustice. Your attitude yesterday was a trampling on his dignity as a man!"

"If you don't change your attitude, you're harming your savior."

97

"I came here today specifically to see Tu Yuan, to make my stance clear to the Ao family."

"Also, after you graduate from university, marry Ao Zhenheng!"

"You can be willful about other things, but there's absolutely no room for negotiation on this one."

After Deng Shishan finished speaking, Deng Shilin wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth.

In the end, the grievances in my heart could only turn into flowing tears.

At this moment, Deng Shilin and Deng Shishan are arguing in the car.

Tu Yuan was unaware of this.

If Tu Yuan knew, he could probably guess what the mastermind behind Gao Shanhu was really after.

He wasn't omniscient or omnipotent, but he felt that Deng Shishan's attitude today was somewhat unreasonable.

But he really couldn't guess why.

Tu Yuan returned to his office with the box of black lotus medicine given to him by Deng Shishan.

Then he took a picture of the box of medicine and sent the photo to Wang Shuanghe to inquire about the name, efficacy, and value of the medicine.

Wang Shuanghe replied more than an hour later.

[Wang Shuanghe: Xiao Tu, where did you get your hands on this special edition Black Lotus Type IX potion?! This stuff is a non-sale item of the Black Lotus Group.]

If we must quantify its value, in terms of efficacy alone, it should be equivalent to 8-10 doses of Qinglong No. 9 medicine, and its effects last a long time, with one dose lasting up to half a month.

[This is considered the top-tier martial arts potion for the second stage of martial arts cultivation. My Azure Dragon Pharmaceuticals only has two or three other martial arts resources that can rival it.]

[Tu Yuan: Brother Wang, this is a thank-you gift from someone! Thank you so much for helping me out, Brother Wang!]

Wang Shuanghe looked at the message Tu Yuan had sent back.

His eyes showed surprise.

A thank-you gift?!

"Does this kid have such powerful connections?"

"It seems that Zhao Nana doesn't know Tu Yuan very well."

"Anyone who can get their hands on the special edition of Black Lotus Type IX potion must be someone of considerable status!"

At this moment, Wang Shuanghe felt that perhaps he should reveal some truly good stuff to Tu Yuan in the future.

Tu Yuan was unaware of Wang Shuanghe's thoughts.

He was quite shocked at that moment.

"The potency is equivalent to 8-10 doses of Azure Dragon No. 9 serum. Even at the price I paid Wang Shuanghe, it's worth 200,000 Federal Credits?!"

"If we were to use other channels, this would be worth around 400,000!"

Thinking about this, Tu Yuan suddenly felt that Deng Shishan's attitude wasn't so bad after all.

After all, Deng Shishan's strength, status, and position far surpassed his.

It's normal for a leader to have a bit of a personality.

Deng Shishan's attitude when giving the thank-you gift was bad, so be it.

A man can bend and stretch!

After all, those who complain about work are never complaining about being tired or suffering, but rather about not receiving enough compensation to make them endure the hardship.

If possible, Tu Yuan even wanted Deng Shishan to come a few more times!

In this way, he won't have to worry about resources during his second transformation into a martial arts student!

Tu Yuan quietly put away the special edition Black Lotus IX potion.

Tu Yuan just finished consuming the Azure Dragon No. 1 Body Tempering Capsule these past two days.

He had originally planned to go to Wang Shuanghe to buy martial arts resources after get off work today, but now it seems he won't need them for the time being.

After getting off work, Tu Yuan ate dinner in the cafeteria and then returned home.

First, he sat on the sofa, snoring away, and chatted with Ruan Xueqing on Zhiliao for a while.

Tu Yuan then took out the special edition of Black Lotus IX potion and consumed it.

Almost a few minutes later.

Tu Yuan felt a slight tingling sensation on his skin, as if a tiny electric current was flowing beneath his skin.

It constantly stimulated his muscles and bones.

Tu Yuan slowly clenched his fist, feeling as if he had inexhaustible energy throughout his body!

"This is the special edition of the Black Lotus Type IX potion?! Just standing here without moving, I can feel my muscles becoming firmer and more powerful!"

"No wonder it's not for sale; it's a special edition!"

"This is probably the martial arts resource that the truly top-tier second-generation elites in Shengyun City use."

Thinking about this, Tu Yuan felt envious of these second-generation rich kids for the first time.

With such martial arts resources, anyone who isn't extremely talented in martial arts could probably reach the peak of the second-stage martial arts realm from scratch within one or two years, right?!

In fact, Tu Yuan underestimated the scarcity of the Black Lotus Type IX special edition potion.

This special edition of Black Lotus Type IX potion is not always available even to the top second-generation elites in Shengyun City.

Only the next generation of the most elite group in Donghua Prefecture can continue to have such a supply of resources.

Tu Yuan then slowly adopted various strange postures and movements, and his breathing rhythm changed with the changes in his postures and movements.

The last rays of the setting sun slanted in through the living room balcony window.

The snoring of the man lying belly-up on the sofa was perfectly captured in the afterglow of the setting sun.

As the second hand of the clock on the wall ticked around once, the afterglow of the setting sun dimmed a little.

The sound of my downstairs neighbor cooking came through the window, and the aroma of the food even wafted into the house.

Tu Yuan's breathing carried a strange rhythm, blocking out all external distractions, and he focused entirely on the standard of the body-tempering movements and the control of his breathing rhythm.

As time passed, the last rays of the setting sun completely disappeared.

As the last rays of the setting sun disappeared, the sounds coming from outside the window also gradually faded away.

Tranquility became the dominant theme of the night.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Tu Yuan has been cultivating for a full seven hours now!

This almost set a new record for the longest single cultivation session by Tu Yuan!

Tu Yuan still felt full of energy.

However, the muscles all over his body were already sending warning signals to his central nervous system.

Unable to support Tu Yuan's continued cultivation.

Tu Yuan also understood the principle of moderation, so he immediately stopped cultivating.

Immediately, Tu Yuan checked his cultivation progress in his mind.

[Thirteenth Edition Body Tempering Method: 10/100 (Second Transformation Martial Artist)]

"This training session increased my progress by 3 points?!"

"This medicine is ridiculously potent!"

"Ever since the Second Transformation Martial Artist was able to cultivate the complete thirteenth version of the Body Tempering Method, the circulation within my body has transformed from the Small Circulation to the Great Circulation when I practice the Body Tempering Method!"

"And even with sufficient resources, it took me ten minutes to complete one cycle of the Great Heavenly Circuit just a few days ago!"

"After twenty-four major cycles, I can only gain 1 point of progress!"

"Now, using this special edition Black Lotus Type IX potion, I can complete a full cycle of Qi circulation in less than six minutes!"

"Moreover, one training session can last for seven hours."

Tu Yuan watched the changes in his cultivation progress and felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

By this time, Tu Yuan had long forgotten Deng Shishan's arrogant attitude when he came to his door earlier that day.

Tu Yuan now only felt that Deng Shishan was a kind and honest person!

Before leaving home the next morning, Tu Yuan checked the intelligence as usual.

At 10:34 PM tonight, Zhong Cheng, captain of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Shengyun City Public Security Bureau, encountered Lin Shengyou while investigating his whereabouts. The two fought, and Lin Shengyou was seriously injured by Zhong Cheng and fled, his life hanging by a thread. He hid at No. 23 Changshui Street, Guhe Community, Xingsheng District, before collapsing.

Upon seeing this intelligence...

Tu Yuan's expression immediately changed.

Tu Yuan was certainly familiar with the name Lin Shengyou.

Zheng Hai, deputy director of Zhenghe Police Station, and Ma Xingbao, deputy captain of the security team, were killed by Lin Shengyou.

Even Zhou Zheng, the former deputy director of Guangming Police Station who was about to take office as the director of Zhenghe Police Station, was injured by Lin Shengyou.

As a result of these crimes, Lin Shengyou was upgraded from a Level 4 wanted criminal to a Level 3 wanted criminal.

Xie Yuancheng, whom Tu Yuan had previously arrested, was only a Level 5 wanted criminal.

A Level 5 wanted criminal can earn Tu Yuan a third-class merit!

Capturing Lin Shengyou would at least bring Tu Yuan a second-class merit award.

Even considering the negative impact of Lin Shengyou, the Shengyun City Public Security Bureau believed that if Tu Yuan could capture Lin Shengyou, he might receive a first-class merit award!

The merit points awarded for a second-class merit are 200, and the merit points awarded for a first-class merit are 500!

Of course, Tu Yuan didn't have high hopes for a first-class merit award.

After all, Lin Shengyou wasn't captured by him when he was at his peak.

Chung Cheng deserves some credit for Lin Shengyou's arrest.

However, federal rewards often focus on results rather than process.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many cases of people picking peaches (i.e. taking advantage of others' success).

At this moment, Tu Yuan looked thoughtful.

"Lin Shengyou is a second-tier martial artist. Under normal circumstances, even a hundred of me wouldn't be enough for him to kill!"

"But he was severely injured by Zhong Cheng; the intelligence reports even described Lin Shengyou's condition as hanging by a thread!"

"I should be able to defeat a second-tier martial artist in this state, right?!"

Tu Yuan was also unsure whether the second-tier martial artist, clinging to life with his last breath, could actually harm him.

However, for Tu Yuan, such an opportunity to make great contributions was one he could not afford to miss, as it would not come again!

As long as he takes precautions in advance, Tu Yuan feels that he can successfully arrest Lin Shengyou and bring him to justice!
