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

Under the shade of a tree to the left of the main gate of the Wax Plum Garden.

Tu Yuan met Li He.

He had assumed that Li He, as Zhang Tao's mistress, must be a woman with outstanding looks, a graceful figure, and sexy attire.

However, Li He herself is not particularly good-looking; in fact, she has an average appearance.

As for her figure, it's just average. There's no obvious curves in her bust and hips, and she's not particularly tall either. She looks to be less than 1.6 meters tall.

His clothes were very ordinary, just a white jacket, light gray sweatpants, and flat shoes.

The more ordinary Li He's appearance and attire, the more cautious and respectful Tu Yuan became towards her.

This shows that Li He is not a woman who relies on her beauty.

Even as a deputy director, Yang Yunwei was able to use his power to indulge in a life of extravagance.

Zhang Tao wields even more power than Yang Yunwei, and if he wanted, he certainly wouldn't lack women offering themselves to him.

Tu Yuan didn't believe that there weren't women with outstanding looks and figures among them.

But in the end, it was Li He, a seemingly ordinary woman, who captivated Zhang Tao.

That can only mean that Li He must have exceptional abilities in other areas.

As soon as Li He stepped out of the gate, she immediately saw Tu Yuan standing under a tree not far to the left of the gate.

Tu Yuan holding the black dog was far too conspicuous.

She also noticed the uniform Tu Yuan was wearing, as well as the trainee police officer epaulets on his shoulders.

Li He's gaze continued upwards, settling on Tu Yuan's face.

Her eyes lit up slightly.

Heart of beauty in everyone.

Li He never expected that the person who found her lost dog would be such a young and handsome trainee police officer.

This added even more joy to her already happy mood.

Li He quickly walked to Tu Yuan's side.

She took a closer look at the little black dog in Tu Yuan's arms, and after confirming that it was her own black ball, her gentle voice was filled with joy.

"Hello! Are you the person who called me earlier?"

"I am the owner."

"This is the dog I lost; its name is Black Ball."

"Thank you so much and thank you for your trouble!"

"Put it on the ground, I'll put a leash on it first, it's tiring for you to carry it like this."

Upon hearing this, Tu Yuan gently placed the dog on the ground and said with a smile:

"It's okay! It's cute and not heavy."

"This must be your lost dog. It started wriggling in my arms as soon as it saw you, it was so excited."

The black dog was put on the ground and immediately began to wag its tail wildly and keep pawing at Li He's calves.

Li He put a leash around the black dog's neck, then stood up and looked up at Tu Yuan:

"Thank you so much!"

"I didn't know you were a police officer. It's really impressive that you became a police officer at such a young age."

"I thought I was going to lose this little thing forever."

Li He said.

He pulled out a bottle of Black Lotus Vitality Water and a spray bottle from his pocket.

As Li He handed the Black Lotus Vitality Water to Tu Yuan, she said:

"Thank you so much for going to all this trouble, especially for bringing the black ball over to me."

"This spray is a freshener. If you've been holding your dog and it smells, spraying this will kill bacteria and remove the odor."

"By the way, I promised on my lost dog poster that I would give a reward of five thousand federal dollars to anyone who helps me find my dog."

"Tell me your bank card number, and I'll transfer the money to you via mobile transfer immediately."

Tu Yuan took the Vitality Water and Freshener Spray, and smiled:

"I'll accept this bottle of energy water, but you don't need to pay me."

"Look at my uniform. Pets are the private property of federal citizens, and it is my duty to protect the safety of federal citizens' private property."

Li He carefully observed Tu Yuan's expression.

He realized that Tu Yuanzhen wasn't just being polite; his eyes revealed admiration.

She naturally knew the monthly salary of a trainee police officer.

Five thousand federal dollars is not a small amount for a trainee police officer.

Moreover, when she walked briskly towards Tu Yuan from the entrance of the residential area, she made a point of observing Tu Yuan's attire.

Although Tu Yuan was wearing a uniform, the shoes he wore were purchased by the police officers themselves.

The leather shoes on Tu Yuan's feet were not expensive brand-name shoes; they were clearly ordinary leather shoes sold in ordinary shoe stores, and these kinds of shoes were not expensive.

This shows that Tu Yuan's economic conditions were not very good.

However, Tu Yuan refused the payment she offered without the slightest hesitation.

In addition, Tu Yuan's good looks enhance the overall sensory experience.

At this moment, Li He genuinely felt that Tu Yuan was a very good person.

Li He smiled, her tone less polite than before, but more intimate.

"What you said is correct, but my payment as a token of gratitude has nothing to do with your profession."

"After all, I promised in the lost dog poster that I would pay a reward of five thousand federal dollars to anyone who helps find the black ball."

"If we don't pay you because you're a police officer, then that's unfair to you."

"And it also makes me look like I'm untrustworthy."

Sensing the change in Li He's tone and attitude, Tu Yuan felt a surge of joy.

Although Li He was polite and courteous in her attitude, she was somewhat distant.

Tu Yuan then laughed and said:

"You didn't break your promise; I simply chose to refuse."

"I really can't accept this payment from you."

Seeing that Tu Yuan refused again.

Li He didn't press the matter further.

Five thousand federal dollars was not a small amount of money for her.

Zhang Tao doesn't give her much money each month; he uses most of it to buy medicine and medicinal wine.

Moreover, managing relationships with superiors and entertaining them with meals and drinks also adds up to a considerable expense.

As the head of the local police station, Zhang Tao receives quite a few gifts from people on a regular basis.

However, Zhang Tao has his own bottom line and is quite restrained in accepting gifts, unlike some people who accept all gifts.

Li He was well aware that Zhang Tao's own savings were not much, totaling less than 200,000 federal dollars.

In fact, many federal officials are short of money.

Although working for the federal government, the higher the position, the higher the salary and benefits, and the more generous the subsidies for martial arts resources and Nen masters.

In the path of cultivation, one must maintain a good progress in cultivation.

Federal government subsidies to government officials are far from sufficient!

This has also led to a great deal of corruption within the federal government.

However, the Federation's cultivation resources have always been in short supply.

Therefore, the top levels of the federal government have always spared no effort and taken strong measures in the fight against corruption.

"Since you don't want any payment, I won't force you!"

"By the way, I still don't know your name! Are you a trainee police officer at the Zhenghe Police Station?"

Li He tilted her head slightly, her smile unchanged.

Tu Yuan nodded slightly:

"My name is Tu Yuan, Tu as in 'Buddha' and Yuan as in 'learned'."

"I am a trainee police officer at Zhenghe Police Station, and I have been on the job for more than five months."

"Tu Yuan, that's a pretty imposing name. I'll remember it!"

"Thank you so much this time! Black Ball is like family to me! You did me such a big favor this time, and you didn't even ask for payment. Consider it a favor I owe you."

"If you encounter any trouble at the Zhenghe Police Station, you can call me. Maybe I can help."

Hearing Li He's words, Tu Yuan felt reassured. He had given up the reward of 5,000 Federal Dollars just to make Li He owe him a favor!

Even if this favor can only be used once, it is still worth more than five thousand federal dollars.

Tu Yuan was well aware of the power of pillow talk.
