For five days, the Special Public Security Detachment's anti-vice campaign had been running for fifteen days, elevating the Municipal Police Department's reputation among the public to an unprecedented peak.

During these fifteen days, not only the Special Public Security Detachment worked with high efficiency, but even the usually diligent officers from other departments brought out one hundred and twenty percent of their enthusiasm for their work.

Even with the Special Public Security Detachment working so hard, how could we fall behind them? Almost every officer thought this way. In an instant, the case-solving rate in Tianbei City soared, with many breakthrough developments even in cold cases.

Han Jing sat rigidly on the Director's throne in his office. The last five days had been almost retaliatory surprise inspections, finally making those managing the budget understand something: if the police department was truly desperate for money, they certainly had ways to procure funds.

The treasury belonged to the Federation, but most of the fines went to individuals! Using the budget to create bottlenecks was essentially forcing that group of young masters in the Special Public Security Detachment to do things that would cause others more severe financial losses.

In just three days, Han Jing's requests for funding suddenly became incredibly easy to fulfill. If he requested a hundred thousand, the other party would enthusiastically ask, "Is a hundred thousand really enough? How about requesting two hundred thousand? Funds are very ample right now; no need to worry too much."

The more enthusiastic they were, the colder the chill that shot through Han Jing's bones. Such abnormal behavior meant either genuine submission or a hidden conspiracy.

A conspiracy? Han Jing felt this possibility was slim. With Qin Fen's frequent exposure during these days, almost all high-ranking civil servants in the city were aware of his true identity.

He came from the military; he came from the capital; his transfer was decided upon jointly by the top brass of the police circle.

If such an identity were placed in a local setting, it was practically equivalent to an Imperial Envoy! To play tricks on him? Wouldn't that be courting death?

Han Jing realized that since Qin Fen entered the Tianbei City Police System, the number of times he had sighed deeply in the last few days probably exceeded his total sighs from the previous two years by a significant margin.

"I must pause for a while. I need to let the others catch their breath, one way or another," Han Jing murmured, gently rocking his body in his boss's chair. "Otherwise, when he leaves, others will say I'm incapable of managing my subordinates, and they'll settle scores with me later. I don't have their powerful backing."

"Director..."

Han Jing opened his eyes to see Deputy Director Liu poking his head in. This was the new Deputy Director promoted shortly after Deputy Director Zhang voluntarily resigned a few days ago.

"Deputy Director Liu, what is it?" Han Jing wasn't fond of Deputy Director Liu. This middle-aged man, who looked to be in his forties, possessed work capability, but he chose a stance of complete permissiveness toward Qin Fen, never even attempting to persuade him otherwise.

Deputy Director Liu walked into the room carrying a document. "The situation is this, Director. The 'Feixin' Women's Orchestra should be arriving in Tianbei City today."

The 'Feixin' Women's Orchestra? Han Jing smacked his forehead. He had been so mentally chaotic due to the Special Public Security Detachment's recent activities that he had forgotten about a major upcoming event in Tianbei City: the 'Feixin' Women's Orchestra was scheduled to hold an anti-terrorism concert here.

Less than a year ago, the 'Feixin' Women's Orchestra was one of the best ensembles in the entire Federation; now, they had become the best, without peer!

Unlike other groups, the 'Feixin' Women's Orchestra had a clear mission statement: anti-terrorism! These two young women, who fit the Federation's interests and currently held immense popularity across the entire Federation, had gradually become a special entity.

This meant that wherever they held a concert, local police had to dispatch a significant contingent of personnel to ensure the orchestra's safety.

Especially after the performance in Hanzhou, the two young women mentioned during their Tokyo concert that they had encountered a terrorist attack in Hanzhou, and thankfully, a hero had defeated the terrorists and saved them.

Since then, police forces everywhere would cooperate to the fullest extent. Everyone understood that if the 'Feixin' Women's Orchestra were killed by terrorists during a concert in their city, it wouldn't just mean losing their official position; it would also be a massive headache dealing with the countless angry fans.

"This is a problem," Han Jing forcefully tapped his forehead. "We should have prepared for this earlier."

Deputy Director Liu stepped closer and whispered, "This task absolutely must be assigned to the elite members of our police force."

"Precisely," Han Jing nodded.

"And the person in charge must have sufficient rank and merit to command the situation."

"Very true." Han Jing nodded again.

Deputy Director Liu lowered his voice further. "Although the 'Feixin' Women's Orchestra's fans range from ninety-nine years old down to toddlers just learning to walk, the two young women are still quite young. I think the best person for this job should also be young. If there are opportunities for conversation, it won't leave the girls feeling lonely."

"Yes, yes."

Deputy Director Liu watched Han Jing nod repeatedly and secretly sighed. It seemed the Director had truly lost his bearings these past few days; he couldn't even grasp such an obvious hint.

"Director..." Deputy Director Liu steeled his resolve and whispered through clenched teeth, "I suggest that for this matter, we assign Deputy Director Qin to lead the Special Public Security Detachment, with some local Armed Police support..."

"Exactly right!" Han Jing's eyes widened as he looked at Deputy Director Liu. He suddenly realized this person he usually disliked was incredibly insightful!

Yes, the best way to make the Special Public Security Detachment pause their current activities was to give them a different assignment! Han Jing cursed inwardly. He had been so overwhelmed lately that he had forgotten about this golden opportunity.

"This way, we can also account for the other units..." Deputy Director Liu kept his voice extremely low, afraid of being overheard by others through the walls.

The young masters of the Special Public Security Detachment were so formidable that even Director Han Jing had to show them deference. Deputy Director Liu was certain that the influence behind him couldn't stand up against these hotheads.

"Exactly, exactly! That's perfect!" Han Jing snatched up the phone and quickly dialed the internal extension. "Xiao Qin? This is Big Brother Han. Do you have a moment? Could you come to my office?"

"Understood." Qin Fen paused for a moment before asking, "Director, are you short on funds again?"

Short on funds? Hearing these three words made the hairs on Han Jing's neck stand on end. The nightmare from the morning when the Special Public Security Detachment suddenly swept through all of Tianbei City's entertainment venues to raise massive funds for the bureau still haunted his sleep.

"No, no, no, it's to discuss other work," Han Jing spoke with extreme speed, worried that Qin Fen's impetuous nature might lead him to hang up and start another fundraising operation. "As for funding, you don't need to worry. We are extremely well-funded, truly, extremely well-funded."

Han Jing hung up the phone and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, a wry, helpless smile playing on his lips. Well-funded? Indeed! The Tianbei City Police Department's finances were exceedingly flush these past few days. The energy unleashed by those never-subdued young masters from the Special Public Security Detachment was truly astonishing.

Discussing other work? Qin Fen hung up the phone, feeling slightly curious, and stood up, only to hear Wu Hui, who was leaning over a computer nearby, let out a startled cry.

"Heavens! Am I seeing things?"

Several police officers practicing the 24-form Simplified Tai Chi nearby, as well as others who remained alert while attending to other tasks, all turned their attention to Wu Hui.

"This... this... isn't this Little Hades?"

Wu Hui pointed a finger at the image on the screen, staring fixedly in disbelief, his Adam's apple bobbing repeatedly as he swallowed.

Little Hades? The police officers of the Special Public Security Detachment simultaneously stopped what they were doing and rushed toward the computer screen like a tide.

Little Hades! The rumored son of the Venus Divine Beast, the White Tiger! A martial arts prodigy among the younger generation of the entire Federation, widely regarded as a future superstar of Divine Beast Martial Arts. A true case of a tiger father producing no dog sons!

The next second, these rebellious officers, who had crowded around the screen, suddenly turned in unison to look at Qin Fen, who remained standing still.

They were not unfamiliar with the Earth Martial God.

He was high-profile, enjoyed being in front of the cameras, and was equally high-profile in his willingness to spar with any martial artist, regardless of whether the opponent's star ranking was higher than his own.

"I'm not afraid of losing; I'm afraid of being unable to advance!"

The words of Little Hades were now circulating among many young people.

"What did he say?" Lin Feng patted the computer, adjusting the volume. "Turn it up louder so we can hear clearly."

"The main reason I came here is to attend the 'Feixin' Women's Orchestra concert. Incidentally, I also need to deal with one person..."

P.S.: To be continued. Not only must the writing be good from here on out, but it must be exceptionally good. Tomorrow's output should be substantial, as I am very excited to finally have reached this point.

Regarding rewards, Gao Lou has always held a heart of gratitude. I usually don't post regular thank-you messages for donations like other writers do, because I fear fostering an environment of excessive competition. Subscribing and supporting me is already more than enough satisfaction.

However, these last few days, I was so shaken by a few friends that I had to come out and thank all the friends who have rewarded me again. Thank you all so much, truly thank you all.
