Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 600: Let the bullets fly for a while Chapter 600: Let the bullets fly for a while Morning.

As usual, Qing Yi finished breakfast and, escorted by a large group of bodyguards, headed to Intelligence Department Three.

Unlike his spirited appearance at the beginning, he now felt somewhat tired of it all.

After arriving at Intelligence Department Three, his daily tasks were to feign obedience and then sit in the large office, sipping coffee, chatting, watching Qing Xing find money, observing Qing Wen buy people’s hearts, seeing Qing Wu sleep sprawled on the desk, and Qing Shi chasing celebrities.

Qing Yuan had never shown up, and there was no telling where he’d gone.

Qing Yi’s initial plan was to adopt an indifferent facade upon his arrival at Intelligence Department Three to lower others’ guard against him.

Of course, he was a bit worried about whether such behavior would make him too conspicuous.

What he hadn’t anticipated was how idle Intelligence Department Three was; the detectives were incredibly bored, their daily activities not much different from his, which actually suited his very mediocre disguise.

Sitting in his administrative class vehicle, Qing Yi was constantly on his cellphone, waiting for something.

Just as they were about to reach the office building of Intelligence Department Three, he mumbled softly, “Strange, why hasn’t the call come yet.”

The next second, his phone rang, the caller ID showing Li Ke.

Qing Yi waited pretentiously for more than ten seconds before answering, “Isn’t this annoying? Calling every morning, how have you become so nagging?”

Li Ke explained, “I’m sorry, my father had something to instruct me this morning, so I called late.”

Qing Yi paused briefly, “Oh, it’s fine.”

Li Ke asked, “Has anyone suspected you of pretending lately?”

“No,” Qing Yi replied, “Those people are busy watching the insider news and gossiping every day, they hardly pay any attention to me. It’s strange, ever since we reported for duty, the Shadow has disappeared without giving us any tasks, as if planning to let us mold away at Intelligence Department Three.”

Li Ke thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps Mr. Shadow is waiting for you to take initiative, since you all might become the Shadow in the future. By then, no one will assign tasks to you; you need to learn to seek opportunities proactively.”

Qing Yi raised an eyebrow, “I know that, you don’t need to teach me!”

Li Ke went on, talking to himself, “My father helped to investigate, and it seems like Qing Wu has been studying under a master since he was young. This is very secretive; you must treat him as an expert and not think about assassinating him.”

Qing Yi raised an eyebrow again, “I didn’t ask for your help, I can become the Shadow on my own.”

Li Ke continued, “After reporting to Intelligence Department One, Qing Yuan has vanished completely. He probably knows that this round of competition for the title of Shadow is crucial, so he’s hiding in the shadows. The Li Family’s intelligence system can’t even find him, which means he has a team behind him that’s very skilled at concealing identities. As for Qing Shi, her father’s men have arrived in City 10, and there may be masters beyond C-Class among them… Didn’t they say that the highest level for a Protector in the competition for the Shadow is C-Class? Isn’t she breaking the rules?”

“Of course it counts,” Qing Yi frowned and said, “Those who have become the Shadow have always been adept at exploiting the rules, and usually by the fourth round, it becomes a battle among Immortals. But, he wouldn’t dare to act overtly.”

Li Ke asked, “By the way, Qing Yi, what about your family’s people? Why haven’t they come to City 10 to help you? Do you need me to request assistance from the Li Family’s members?”

Qing Yi replied impatiently, “Enough, no more talk. Are you trying to meddle in Qing’s internal affairs? That’s overstepping.”

“Whatever you say,” Li Ke responded. “Do you have any plans right now?”

Qing Yi thought for a moment and said, “I plan to find an opportunity to go to Intelligence Department One and take a look. I feel like it might be more interesting there… By the way, has there been any news from the mentor?”

Li Ke was silent for two seconds before asking, “Why do you keep looking for the mentor?”

Qing Yi replied somewhat unnaturally, “I’ve already completed my Grand Circulation, and he hasn’t given me the next method for cultivation.”

“Is that so?” Li Ke asked.

“Yes, what else would it be,” Qing Yi retorted.

“I will mention it to the mentor. Maybe he can come to City 10 to give you the subsequent cultivation methods.”

“Really? Well… I’m eager to improve my strength by cultivating, meeting the mentor is secondary.”

These days, the most discussed topic in Intelligence Department Three was the high-profile news on the PCA Federal Central Intelligence Bureau’s internal reports about the arrests made by Intelligence Department One, Team Seven.

Such significant actions had almost become core news within the circle.

Every time Qing Yi thought of Intelligence Department One, majestic in their arrests, then declaring to others, “Since when does Intelligence Department One need to present evidence to you?”

It thrilled him.

After hanging up the call, a faint smile appeared on the corners of his thin lips.

For him, the most interesting thing every day now seemed to be this encrypted call.

A Shadow Candidate from the Qing Family talking on the phone every day with a core scion from Li’s Big Room, surely no one would believe it if they heard.

When Qing Yi arrived in the large office of Intelligence Department Three, at that moment, Qing Wu was still asleep on the desk, while Qing Wen was inviting his detectives to his holiday resort in City 10, boasting of pools and a villa complex where they could throw parties.

Qing Wen didn’t just invite his own detectives but also included those under Qing Yi.

By now, no one reported to Qing Yi anymore; they all went directly to Qing Wen, as if Qing Wen alone reigned over all seventy-two detectives.
