Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 602: 376, Let the Bullets Fly for a While_3 Chapter 602: 376, Let the Bullets Fly for a While_3 But Qing Chen could first tear apart the alliance between Jindai and Deer Island within Intelligence Department One, then talk about defeating each one separately.

Was the alliance between Jindai and Deer Island really that solid? Qing Chen didn’t think so.

If Jindai secretly took people from Deer Island to exchange for their own people, then that alliance would be a joke.

At that moment, Qing Hua looked deeply at Qing Chen, but he had not expected such profound intentions behind his new boss’s cunning moves.

Indeed, it must be that Mr. Shadow sent this new boss to unify the PCA Federal Central Intelligence Bureau…

The director of the PCA Central Intelligence Agency was a pushover, and in this mixed-up place, the various conglomerates had chosen a completely neutral person to be the director, otherwise, no one would be satisfied.

And the director was also smart; he would just hang out in the Red Light District every day, not doing anything else and not stirring trouble with anyone.

So, sometimes people would even forget that the PCA Central Intelligence Agency actually had a director.

It was the same with many presidents of the Federation.

Some said that the current president was different, but so far, no one could tell what the difference was, as he still played dumb every day.

Following Qing Chen’s orders, Qing Hua went to negotiate with Jindai and Deer Island separately.

However, to his surprise, both families outright refused him, declaring righteously: “Should the suspects we caught be proven guilty, then let the law judge them. We won’t engage in private exchanges of suspects.”

Deer Island was somewhat tempted, because the three people they had captured were too important.

But it seemed they had also guessed what Qing Chen was up to, and thus refused just the same.

When Qing Hua returned to the office, he said to Qing Chen, “Boss, they all refused. They may have seen through your intentions.”

Qing Chen smiled and said, “No matter.”

This blatant scheme, how could the folks from the other teams within Intelligence Department One not see through it?

But that didn’t matter.

Let the bullets fly for a while.

After Qing Chen initiated a comprehensive crackdown, every day, Intelligence Department One, Team Seven was solving cases in the double digits, capturing batch after batch of people.

Normally, when the other teams came to work, they would just take the elevator straight up.

Now, in order to have more chances to observe Team Seven, they would rather take the stairs on purpose.

Just to catch an extra glimpse of Team Seven.

However, the day after Qing Hua finished negotiating with Jindai and Deer Island, the people from the Jindai family just reached the doorway of Team Seven and saw a whiteboard hung up at the entrance.

Someone had used a black whiteboard marker to write on it: “Suspects available for trade today include Jindai Kongming, Zhou Chenyi, Qiu Yue…”

The people from Jindai were stunned; they had not expected Qing Chen to actually list the tradeable suspects and put it up there to disgust them.

The whiteboard, it was like the menu outside a cafeteria, stating what’s for lunch today: stir-fried pork with garlic sauce, spicy sour potato strips, Kung Pao chicken…

The feeling was strikingly similar.

The whiteboard was filled with names from Jindai and Deer Island, and the intelligence personnel from the Li Family and the Chen Clan couldn’t help but chuckle as they went upstairs.

Until the second day the whiteboard was hung up, and names like Chen Long, Chen Nan, and Li Mian appeared on it.

The intelligence personnel from the Li Family and the Chen Clan were no longer so composed: When were these two captured? Such important figures got caught, how come we didn’t know?!

They only realized after a bit of inquiry that it was Qing Zhun, the Trainee Inspector, who had made the arrest late last night, still fresh in people’s minds.

Inside, the staff at Intelligence Department One felt a sense of collapse. Someone found Qing Hua in the pantry to complain in private, “Please tell your boss to lay off the Divine Skills. This is too undignified.”

Yet Qing Hua paid no attention whatsoever.

It was the same old saying, stick with the boss and work hard, whatever the boss wants to do, he does.

He knew that even if this affair was undignified, those that were losing face were others.

Qing Chen’s public shaming of these people, hung up for all to see, was to pose a question to the other intelligence officers: These are all your people, do you protect them or not? All for that damned alliance, you’re willing to forsake your own?

The whiteboard was updated and hung up for seven consecutive days, each day with a different list of names, constantly refreshed like the daily cafeteria menu.

The detectives from Team Seven liked to hold their boxed lunches and stand outside the door, eating with pleasure as they watched the whiteboard.

It was just too appetizing.

There’s an old saying, for soldiers one by one, for generals in droves.

The vacancy for the lead Inspector in Team Seven had been unfilled for so long that, although Qing Hua replaced its duties, there was somewhat a lack of leadership, and the team’s spirit had been somewhat scattered.

Now, with the arrival of Qing Chen, there was a different spirit in the whole of Team Seven; even with daily overtime, they were energized.

Moreover, just in these short ten days, the overtime pay they received was more than what they earned in twenty years of honest work.

Qing Hua had approached Qing Chen, cautiously questioning whether it was appropriate to give out so much overtime pay. “Inspector, don’t you keep a portion for yourself?”

Although he had privately left the largest share for Qing Chen, and had Yang Xuyang launder it into clean funds at the casino to transfer to Qing Chen, the amount Qing Chen took was still too little.

You see, previous Inspectors would take ninety percent, leaving one percent for the remaining ninety-six people, whereas now, Qing Chen took ten percent for himself, and left ninety percent for the team.

The contrast was too great.

Qing Chen’s reply was, “We all work with our lives on the line. As they say, one seeks wealth in the face of danger, complete this task with me and you’ll have the capital to retire if you wish. That’s the commitment I can make to everyone as Qing Chen.”

Having said this, Qing Chen began packing his things.

Qing Hua asked curiously, “Inspector, are you planning to go out?”

“Yes, going home,” Qing Chen replied with a smile, “If I don’t step out now, I’m afraid there will be some anxious people.”

He was referring to the Kite Falcons.

In recent days, Yan Chunmi sent him messages every morning, afternoon, and evening, clearly getting restless. Qing Chen knew that the time was ripe.

He looked at Qing Hua, “The toughest days have passed; start rotating shifts and get some rest.”

“Huh?” Qing Hua was taken aback and said, “Boss, I can still hold on a bit longer.”

Qing Chen smiled, “If you don’t step out to give Jindai and Deer Island a chance to be alone, how will they open their mouths to request a change of personnel? Through the office, with so many people watching?”

Qing Hua suddenly realized that after seven days of shots fired by the Inspector, it was time for a result.
