Chapter 585: 371. The Achievements of the Dragon (10,000-word update for monthly votes)
From the Dragon’s Success.
This term sounded particularly enticing.
At this moment, most people involved in the struggle for the position of Shadow were thinking these four words.
Once a Shadow Candidate succeeded in rising to power, the entire power structure within Qing’s Family would undergo a new reshuffling.
Therefore, unlike the quietness on Qing Chen’s side,
the residences of all the Qing’s Shadow Candidates were bustling with activity, and even young Qing Yi’s place was no exception.
In District Three, Qing Yi sat obediently on the sofa in his high-rise luxury home, receiving guests over and over again.
There were factions from Qing’s Family in City No. 10, as well as colleagues from Intelligence Department Three, which he was about to take over.
In the Federal Central Intelligence Bureau, the Inspector is second only to the head of the department, and is in charge of 36 ordinary detectives.
So those well-informed detectives, upon learning who their new boss was, even if Qing Yi had not yet officially taken up his post, came one by one to visit in advance.
Officially under the pretense of reporting work.
In the living room, Qing Yi kept a very low profile, calling everyone ‘brother’ or ‘sister,’ without any airs of a financial magnate.
However, he suddenly felt very uninterested and began to miss the days of training at Autumn Leaf Courtyard.
He even missed Qing Chen, Li Ke, Li Tongyun, Nan Gengchen, Li Yinuo…
He didn’t know why, but even though he had suffered the most hardships and grievances in Autumn Leaf Courtyard from a young age,
Qing Yi still felt that those were the most carefree days. At first, he had to pretend, but later, training with his brothers, eating lunch together, going back home after practice to watch the evening sunset by the mountainside villa,
it seemed quite enjoyable upon reflection.
What disappointed Qing Yi a bit was that, since the Elderly Master of Li Clan had passed away, the instructor had disappeared, and there was no reason for everyone to gather together anymore.
The instructor was too partial, always taking Li Ke on his wanderings, even though he had always claimed to treat all the brothers equally.
At this thought, Qing Yi suddenly recalled the first time the instructor empowered him and felt a bit moved to tears.
No, that’s not right, Qing Yi felt there was also a sense of humiliation mixed with the emotion, after all, how could he, a smart Qing’s Shadow Candidate, be moved so easily?
What he didn’t know was that at that time, the tears were purely because Qing Chen’s Knight Vital Energy was too peculiar.
“Inspector?” A detective, noticing the distracted Qing Yi, tentatively inquired.
Qing Yi snapped back to reality, “Hmm?”
He was inwardly frustrated. How could he afford to be so inattentive during a time for winning people’s hearts?!
The detectives looked at each other, realizing that all their recent flattery had been in vain.
One detective said with a smile, “It’s getting late, we should let the Inspector rest early. After all, tomorrow you’ll be officially assuming your role, and we’ll have plenty of time to work together. Please rest assured, Inspector, in the future we will all cooperate with you and be your loyal supporters.”
Qing Yi responded with an obliging smile, “Then thank you, brothers and sisters, I’ll be counting on everyone in the future.”
He personally saw the detectives out. Once they left, he muttered softly, “With so many Shadow Candidates, why did it have to be the youngest one for us? You saw how distracted he was just now, clearly he wasn’t focused.”
An older, more seasoned detective sighed, “He’s just too young. Remember, after the Shadow Candidates take office tomorrow, we mustn’t have any conflicts with other teams. Anyway, I don’t think this Qing Yi likely has a chance of winning. Let’s not have gotten nothing from this ‘Dragon’s Success’ and then end up in trouble when the purge comes.”
The detective agreed, “Yes, that’s true, but we still need to be polite to Qing Yi on the surface. When the time comes, just don’t work too hard.”
“Right, I heard that someone is also starting at Intelligence Department One, stepping into an Inspector role as soon as they join. Looks like the shadow is going to cause trouble there again, huh?”
“Hehe, who dares to meddle in the affairs of those Living Hades? Let them fight it out amongst themselves.”
After the guests left, Qing Yi kept sitting on the living room sofa with his eyes closed, resting.
It was a long while later that a message appeared on his phone, recording verbatim the detectives’ conversation after they had left.
The sender was one of Qing Yi’s Kite Falcons.
Compared to true intelligence agencies like the Spy Bureau, the Federal Central Intelligence Bureau, which was hollowed out by financial conglomerates, still appeared somewhat naive.
The real talent, ninety percent of it, had already been absorbed by financial conglomerates at an early stage.
After listening to the recording, Qing Yi closed his eyes again, “Boring.”
The moment he closed his eyes, the laughter and chatter of his brothers on their way home after practice in the mountain estate echoed in his ears.
Tonight, Qing Yi, Qing Shi, Qing Yuan, Qing Wu, Qing Xing, and Qing Wen, the remaining six Shadow Candidates, were almost simultaneously hosting the same “work reports” in their homes, only the mood of each group of reporters varied.
There were also those who wanted to report to Qing Chen, after all, he was a real Inspector with the power to appoint and dismiss Team Seven.
What surprised the detectives from Intelligence Department One, Team Seven, however, was that no one could track down the address of their new boss!
Unlike these minor characters, at this time, there were many influential figures within Qing’s Family silently observing, waiting for the third round of the Shadow struggle to end, to see who would emerge as the one with the aura of the True Dragon Heavenly Son.
Then they would place a heavy bet.
