Chapter 227: [226] The Power of the Divine General is Too Strong

Winter Garden.

Garden office.

An invisible halo appeared out of thin air in front of Cheng Han.

The deduction process of the Level 7 All-Knowing Eye has formed a unique "operating system," and the halo is equivalent to the "display system."

In the center of the halo, the events happening in the North Pavilion City's political hall were displayed.

"...The dream master who defected from the Dream Birth Society?"

Upon hearing this sentence, Cheng Han's mouth twitched imperceptibly. "Is it still the same formula, or the familiar taste?"

Previously, by dealing with the "God Descent Society" in secret, they made the other party believe that there was a mole within their ranks, resulting in a grand "who is the traitor" drama.

Now, when passing on the information to the authorities, they actually deduced a similar conclusion, and even Xuan Du tended to believe it.

All of this indeed gave people a strange sense of "historical recurrence."

Beside him.

Deputy Chief Duan Zhuohui brought up another topic. "The chaos caused by the Divine Language this time, a group of inspectors performed exceptionally well."

He read out the first name. "Third Watchtower, Xing Peng! This new inspector was quick-witted and saw through the enemy's plot, preventing major casualties and saving a colleague at a critical moment."

Previously, Cheng Han planned to establish a charity committee and selected a group of young people from wealthy families to serve as inspectors. "Xing Peng" was his most promising candidate.

Duan Zhuohui deliberately put "Xing Peng" at the top of the commendation list, naturally to please the Chief.

The deputy chief said, "Considering Xing Peng's significant contributions, I suggest granting him the status of 'Senior Inspector' and awarding him a special bonus equivalent to six months' salary."

Duan Zhuohui smacked his lips and added, "Xing Peng's current strength is slightly weaker, otherwise he could have been directly promoted to Inspector-in-Chief."

Insufficient strength is only one factor. On the other hand, promoting someone to Inspector-in-Chief immediately after entering the watchtower can easily invite criticism.

Another deputy chief, Deng Xi, chuckled. "Now is an extraordinary period, and extraordinary rewards should be given. I think it is not excessive to promote him to Inspector-in-Chief."

This undoubtedly was flattery towards the Chief.

Duan Zhuohui's gaze flickered, silently cursing "shameless," while regretting that his own face wasn't thick enough.

A group of watchtower leaders expressed their agreement one after another.

"I agree with Deputy Chief Deng's opinion."

"Xing Peng has been performing exceptionally well recently, and his strength has improved rapidly. I believe he is fully capable of being appointed as Inspector-in-Chief."

The deputy governors who participated in the meeting, including Shen Wenxian, unanimously expressed their agreement, secretly cursing in their hearts:

In front of Cheng Han, all of you are a bunch of bootlickers!

A newcomer who hasn't even been in the job for half a month has the audacity to be nominated for Inspector-in-Chief. They really don't care about their faces!

Cheng Han nodded lightly and uttered a word, "Okay!"

With his current status and position, even if he showed favoritism or did something out of the ordinary, who would dare to say anything?

The strong have privileges!

Duan Zhuohui continued to read the list. "Bai Chen, Seventh Watchtower..."

Among the ten or so newcomers previously promoted by Cheng Han, as many as sixty percent were listed on the commendation list. This proportion can be considered high.

In the Divine Language incident, this group of newcomers showed a keenness far surpassing other newcomers, and their actions were decisive and efficient.

And for each person promoted, the commendation initially drafted by Duan Zhuohui not only did not discount anything, but also exceeded the usual standards.

Cheng Han nodded in agreement.

Soon.

The commendation plan has been finalized.

Duan Zhuohui decisively put aside his face and took the initiative to praise: "Director Cheng's judgment of people is truly remarkable!"

Others also followed suit and praised.

"I feel the same way!"

"Director Cheng's insight is unparalleled!"

Shen Wenxian coldly observed the group of people scrambling to flatter, feeling disdainful in his heart, but also had to admit that Director Cheng's ability to choose people was indeed impressive.

Cheng Han was too lazy to listen to flattery and said lightly, "Alright!"

The noisy sound in the meeting room instantly became silent.

Shen Wenxian watched this scene and couldn't help but feel emotional.

This small detail was enough to show that the Inspection Bureau had completely become Director Cheng's territory, even the Council Chamber couldn't interfere.

Even if the Council Chamber wanted to do something, they could only wait until the other party left office.

Who would have thought that Director Cheng, who had been in office for about a month, would turn the Inspection Bureau into an ironclad organization. Such methods were truly awe-inspiring.

Cheng Han looked around and said, "Let's talk about the disciplinary measures!"

Deputy Director Deng Xigong respectfully responded and picked up a document, glanced at it, and began to speak confidently, "I conducted a detailed investigation..."

In the Inspection Bureau, there were all kinds of people, including outstanding inspectors and those who were afraid of death.

Just at this moment.

Cheng Han's gaze suddenly flickered for a very short moment.

But no one else noticed his abnormality.

Cheng Han, using the secret puppet he had planted in Beiting City, sensed a vast and surprisingly high-level fluctuation, which suddenly descended upon the Council Chamber.

There was no doubt.

This was definitely the so-called "Lan Yun Divine General," using the astonishing methods of a Divine General to remotely send a "Divine Soul Shadow."

Considering that the Divine General possessed the legendary "Divine Seal," this was an existence that touched the laws.

Cheng Han was worried about being noticed by the Divine General, so he did not use the All-Knowing Eye to peek into the "live broadcast" of the scene, but quietly waited.

Waiting for the Lan Yun Divine General to leave, and then retracing the past, this was a safer approach.

At this moment.

Deng Xi mentioned a name, "Fang Hanyuan, Chief Inspector of the Eighth Outpost, received an order that night to patrol a residential area."

"But this person did it perfunctorily, did not fulfill his duties seriously, only hurriedly walked around the neighborhood, and did not timely discover a snake monster hidden in that neighborhood."

The deputy director immediately gave a suggestion, "According to the regulations, we can dismiss him from the position of Chief Inspector and demote him to an inspector, this..."

Before he could finish speaking.

Cheng Han interrupted him, "Dismissed, never to be employed again!"

Cheng Han casually added, "For neglect of duty, sentence him to one year of imprisonment!"

Deng Xi solemnly responded, "Yes!"

A group of people turned pale upon hearing this.

But no one dared to speak out against it.

To be fair, dismissal is already a very severe punishment, and adding "one year of imprisonment" on top of that is a bit excessive.

At this moment.

Cheng Han took in everyone's expressions and casually remarked, "Last night, I gave a dream speech at the Inspection Bureau headquarters. I clearly stated that 'cowards will be severely punished.'"

This sentence set the "tone" for the punishment plan.

Deng Xi's attitude became even more respectful. "Director, I understand."

Shen Wenxian's face looked a bit strange.

That unprecedented dream speech had shaken the entire Inspection Bureau. As the deputy governor, he had heard numerous rumors about it.

Every rumor depicted the speech as extraordinary and miraculous.

Among this group of people, Director Cheng had become a powerful figure comparable to a sage.

Before long.

The punishment list was finalized.

A total of thirty-eight people were listed, and the severity of the punishment was twice as harsh as usual.

Among them, twenty-six were dismissed, and fourteen received a "prison gift package."

Shen Wenxian was speechless.

To imprison so many inspection officers at once, Director Cheng was being too ruthless, right?!

He thought to himself that if he were to do something similar, he would surely face a lot of criticism. He might even lose his position as deputy governor.

Cheng Han looked around and emphasized, "I hope everyone will work diligently and not slack off in their duties. If I find any negligence, I will deal with it accordingly."

Everyone solemnly responded, "Yes!"

Cheng Han waved his hand and started to dismiss them. "Alright, everyone, go back to work."

Everyone stood up in unison and saluted.

Interestingly, Shen Wenxian was also among those who stood up.

After standing up, he realized that he had done something incredibly foolish and felt so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole to hide in.

As the deputy governor, his rank was half a level higher than Director Cheng's, but he behaved like a subordinate in front of him.

If this matter were to spread, it would definitely be a source of amusement for many.

However.

Shen Wenxian was still the deputy governor after all, and he didn't show any signs of surprise. He displayed a "thick-skinned" attitude.

He nodded towards Cheng Han and forced himself to act as if nothing had happened. "Director Cheng, I'll take my leave."

Cheng Han smiled in response. "Take care, Deputy Governor Shen."

Shen Wenxian quickly walked out of the office, eager to leave.

The gazes of the group of captains were filled with suppressed laughter.

But everyone understood the reason behind it.

Deputy Governor Shen must have been intimidated by their director, which led him to do something embarrassing.

Ten minutes later.

Cheng Han sensed a terrifying aura that had suddenly disappeared from Beiting City through his secret puppet.

He waited for a while before locking onto the connection of the blood tree and silently said, "Divination."

Countless stars appeared in the sky.

A halo of light condensed in front of him.

In the center, the starlight kept flickering, and fragmented images quickly flashed.

After a moment.

A faint red-blue light burst out, resembling surging water waves.

A somewhat blurry figure suddenly appeared in the blue light.

The group of figures surrounding her, including the mysterious inspector, all saluted in unison.

"We respectfully welcome General Lanyun!"

The voices of more than ten sages sounded indistinct.

Cheng Han felt a sense of astonishment.

He had created the blood tree himself, which showed a strong connection. The divination was about recent events, yet he still couldn't see the face of the general clearly.

Truly worthy of a Divine Grade powerhouse!

In the image.

General Lanyun completely ignored these people.

She took a step closer to the blood tree and lightly shouted, "Time flows backward."

This shout was as powerful as thunder.

Cheng Han's mind buzzed.

The image in the center of the halo shattered into countless starlights.

After several seconds.

The image reformed.

What he saw was...

The three blood-colored patterns that had dissipated suddenly reappeared out of thin air.

This was obviously the power of "time flows backward."

Cheng Han was greatly astonished.

With just one sentence, she could trace back the past, and it was displayed so clearly. The power of the general was truly formidable!

General Lanyun's pleasant voice sounded again, filled with surprise and realization. "The Snake God is indeed hiding in the other realm. The 'Lord Haotian' was right in his deduction!"

From this sentence, it was clear that the general believed in the authenticity of the three paintings.

General Lanyun suddenly chuckled. "To know about the situation in the Abyssal Realm, it seems that the identity of the defector is extraordinary. Let me see your identity."

She shouted again, "In the name of time, reveal the creator of the blood tree!"

Yesterday, I was tired after a day of traveling and didn't have the energy to write. I also forgot to mention it. I sincerely apologize to everyone. I was wrong!
