This person could only awkwardly express: Damn, you're really lucky to catch such a foolish sucker.

The pressure was immense, not just on the Security Team.

Qu Jianlei stayed until dusk before driving off to check into a luxury hotel.

He brought out several books from the Inspection Bureau containing various cases, hoping to deduce the bureau's style of operation from them.

Today, a few colleagues from the Earth Room helped him resolve the matter neatly. Must he keep troubling them in the future?

As he was pondering, the hotel receptionist called him, saying a guest wanted to visit and asked if he was willing to meet them.

A top-notch hotel indeed provides meticulous service, comparable to Blue Star's.

A group arrived but refused to reveal their names, so Qu Jianlei thought for a while and allowed one visitor to come in.

Knocking at the door was an energetic old man, surprisingly an Ultimate Warrior.

The elder was straightforward, directly stating the Modified Warrior injured during the day was his subordinate.

However, he was unaware of this incident beforehand.

After three people were taken by the Security Team, someone contacted him about a large compensation issue.

The notification he received was: You must fully compensate for those assets, or the Security Team won't let it go.

The old man didn't buy it, but he worried the Security Team might spread falsehoods to the Inspection Bureau, hence he sought to meet with Jian Lei.

He presented five 1,000 silver coins Silver Notes, saying, "This is my token of sincerity, although I truly have nothing to do with this matter."

Qu Jianlei thought for a while and replied, "If it's proven you genuinely have no part in this, I won't hold it against you."

"But your subordinates need a lesson in rules... Not everyone is as easygoing as I am."

The old man could only chuckle wryly, "I've advised them countless times, yet it's impossible to completely stop them from seeking money."

"Those in the underworld usually don't end well, but do they have a choice?"

Of course they do! Qu Jianlei found this statement disagreeable; is it so hard to be decent, or are they just lazy and accustomed to it?

Yet he didn't bother arguing over this matter, "Alright, you may leave now."

After expressing gratitude, the old man left, and Qu Jianlei helplessly shook his head.

He had to accept the money, a slight punishment for this person's lack of discipline over his subordinates.

Yet he couldn't pocket it; he needed to hand it to Jamaari tomorrow to see how the Inspector arranged it.

So after a beating, must I still report to the Inspection Bureau?

It's truly a bit laughable.

That night, not just one wave of visitors came; the second wave featured middle management from the power company, subordinates of the small leader.

This person came to express his innocence and offer an apology.

However, he emphasized that the company's higher-ups had already communicated with Jamaari and didn't intend to escalate the matter.

Qu Jianlei found it odd, "If you've communicated, why seek me out?"

"I'm reasonable, aware that grievances have a source and debts a debtor."

The middle manager was candid, "The Inspector said your forgiveness is necessary, or he'd be troubled."

He had already learned Jian Lei was merely an advisor in name to the Inspection Bureau and didn't understand why Jamaari valued him so.

But the more uncertain a matter is, the more caution is warranted; he's a businessman, with no need to offend people inexplicably.

Jamaari being troubled... Qu Jianlei smiled helplessly, noting the consistent attempts to win him over.

Thinking of this, a hint of grievance arose, "You casually disrupt the power, while my home was demolished!"

"We'll refit it for you," the middle manager hadn't planned to be stingy upon arrival.

Given the counterpart's concern was the residence, catering to it was the key.

"Our construction team is the most professional in Central City, feel free to voice any demands, everything's negotiable."

Originally, Qu Jianlei intended let those thugs rebuild his house—exactly how they wrecked it, restore it back!

But hearing this promise, he was tempted: Can these thugs professionally renovate the house?

Since the power company isn't blameless, accepting a bit of compensation seems reasonable.

Though he was curious, "Your specialty is power supply, how are you the most professional in renovation?"

The counterpart paused, gave him a peculiar look, hesitated, then answered, "Our headquarters is in the Gorge."

"Gorge…" Qu Jianlei fell silent, having first heard of it from Bentley.

The Gorge is Central City's most enigmatic place. High-tech products like the Mecha Factory come from there.

But few know where the Gorge truly lies.

(First update, celebrating Master He Meng "Little Niu Niu Mo Mo Mo.")——————

Qu Jianlei wanted to understand what kind of existence the Gorge truly represents.

Even the Inspection Bureau's headquarters can only be set in Central City; what kind of existence is there in the Gorge?

Yet the counterpart's affairs were yet unresolved; it wasn't the opportune moment to inquire.

Thus he merely nodded, "About the renovation…I'll discuss it with the Inspector tomorrow."

With Jamaari extending him courtesy, couldn't he be arrogant?

Sure enough, upon hearing of this matter, the Inspector promptly said, "He dares offer renovations; are you not bold enough to accept?"

Then he patted Qu Jianlei's shoulder, "The old man gave you Silver Notes, keep them; he won't be too inconsiderate."

Qu Jianlei understood clearly—the old man needs to thoughtfully seek the Inspector again, or it's far from over!
