Lin Qing was slightly startled. Why did they bring me up right away?
"Yes, Inspector Tang, I am Lin Qing." Lin Qing nodded in response.
"Not bad," Inspector Tang Wanqiu smiled and said, "You managed to handle Chu Tianyao, which isn't bad, I didn't waste my previous intentions."
Lin Qing first felt puzzled, but then quickly realized and couldn't help but look up at Tang Wanqiu and said, "So... you're Inspector Tang?"
"A minor matter." Knowing that he had guessed, Tang Wanqiu smiled instantly.
The surrounding Patrol Officers, upon hearing this, realized... So Lin Qing and this Inspector Tang Wanqiu had interactions early on?
"Inspector Tang," the City Bureau Chief Zhang Guodong smiled and said, "I am Lin'an City Patrol Bureau Chief Zhang Guodong. The City Bureau has already prepared accommodations for you and the three Senior Patrol Chiefs. Would you prefer to go to the City Bureau first or..."
Tang Wanqiu casually waved her hand as if dismissing flies, showing a slight impatience, "No need to bother Chief Zhang. We might return today after finishing our tasks, we will find a place to stay on our own later."
While Chief Zhang maintained his smile, he simply nodded and said, "Okay."
He knew these Patrols, due to their great strength, always disliked being controlled by less powerful superiors.
Everyone has their stance; he also disliked the attitude of those who used their strength to disrespect their superiors.
But the Senior Patrol Chiefs were of a higher rank than him, not to mention that in the headquarters, an Inspector was considered a high-ranking official. What else could he do but endure?
"Let's not delay any further."
Tang Wanqiu didn't say much more. Her gaze swept over the Patrol Officers, and she smiled and said, "Everyone, get on the car first. Lin Qing, Xu Qiu, you two come with me."
Inside the extended Patrol vehicle.
Tang Wanqiu leaned back in the rear seats with a smile, with Xu Qiu sitting beside her.
Lin Qing sat opposite them.
As for the three Senior Patrol Chiefs—
One, a man in his twenties, handsome and evidently physically trained, and resembling a double-door fridge, was sitting in the passenger seat.
Another, a tall man with a full beard sitting silently next to Lin Qing, wore an expressionless face.
There was also a somewhat skinny and ordinary-looking teenager, who appeared to be only around sixteen or seventeen years old. He was silent and seemed a bit shy, sitting slightly rigidly next to the bearded man.
"Lin Qing, let me introduce my three Senior Patrol Chiefs under my command."
Tang Wanqiu, with legs crossed and lazily leaning on her seat, first pointed to the skinny young man and said, "This is the youngest Senior Patrol Chief under my command, Shu Xinyu. He's only sixteen this year."
"Sixteen years old?" Lin Qing couldn't help but exclaim, "With the strength of a Senior Patrol Chief at this age, he could probably enter the Inner Hall of Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall, right?"
As a huge entity in the urban circle, even the Intelligent Star Group kept good relations with it. Its outer hall students' basic threshold was excellent aptitude, and they generally possessed at least the version seven Sunrise Training Method.
But they were still just outer hall students.
What is the outer hall?
They didn't qualify to be admitted into the real Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall. They couldn't even enter the urban circle, having only an outside learning assessment chance, thus called outer hall students.
If they couldn't enter the Inner Hall before twenty, they would be advised to leave.
And a Senior Patrol Chief, either was a grown Genetic Awakened or possessed strength comparable to the former.
This teenager was only sixteen. Logically, he should be able to enter the Inner Hall of Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall.
Tang Wanqiu laughed and said, "You are right, Shu Xinyu is an Inner Hall Student."
"That..." Lin Qing was somewhat puzzled.
A dignified Inner Hall student of Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall also joined the Patrol system?
"You'll understand later."
Tang Wanqiu spoke softly, "Just remember one thing... the urban circle is indeed far ahead of Earth, but being in the urban circle with insufficient strength might not be a good thing. The treatment might still be worse than at our Inspection Headquarters."
Tang Wanqiu shook her head with a smile and continued introducing the silent bearded man, saying, "This is Gong Ming, like you, he practices Free Body, but he has already mastered the original version and has several Genetic Abilities, close to having a Genetic Awakening. You can ask him for advice if there's anything you don't understand."
He had already mastered the original version? Lin Qing nodded slightly.
Lastly, Tang Wanqiu glanced at the handsome man sitting in the front passenger seat and casually said, "That's Ouyang Ze."
After finishing, she looked at Lin Qing and smiled, "There are a few more Senior Patrol Chiefs who didn't come. You'll meet them when you go to headquarters."
The handsome man in the front passenger seat twitched his lips, unable to resist turning his head and saying, "Chief, why is it just a name when it comes to me?"
"You said you make a living by your face, didn't you? The rest isn't necessary." Tang Wanqiu glanced at him and, not wanting to say more, looked back at Lin Qing, "How's your sister doing?"
"Fortunately, Inspector Tang helped back then. My sister just finished her prosthetic limb transplant surgery today, and she's in a good state," Lin Qing sincerely thanked.
Naturally, he could guess that the Inspector before him was the one who helped him modify the contract and arranged for the Hongjun Series mechanical prosthetics from the high-ranking officials at headquarters.
"It was just a small effort for me."
Tang Wanqiu waved her hand, "Today, I introduced these subordinates to let you get to know them in advance. After you become a Senior Patrol Chief in the future, I can make a call and let you join my division."
Lin Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "Inspector Tang is so kind to me, it quite surprises me. May I ask why?"
