Pan Mingyue’s face was very eye-catching in the Inspection Inst.i.tute and, coupled with her restrained temperament as well as an overly young face, it was obvious she had just entered the workplace.

Deputy Liu and the people in the office probably didn’t expect that despite the full swing of Deputy Liu’s party, there was still a fearless greenhorn.

Deputy Liu looked at her and laughed. He turned to Section Chief Jiang and said, “Section Chief Jiang, she’s from your department, right? Since she took the case for you, that’s good. You can take care of this matter from now on.”

Section Chief Jiang was stunned. He already knew that he couldn’t grow further amidst the fights of the two G.o.d sects. Furthermore, too many people wanted him to get off the horse now that the Lu family’s piece of gold was in his hands. Ever since Deputy Liu expressed dissatisfaction with him last time, he had already antic.i.p.ated this situation.

He had been ready to withdraw from the Inspection Inst.i.tute and didn’t expect that Pan Mingyue would want to partic.i.p.ate in this matter.

After having found nothing in the past five months because of the other party’s big background, they were only finding someone to take the fall. Was she so courageous that she didn’t even care about failing her interns.h.i.+p period?

“Deputy Liu, my subordinate isn’t sensible…” Section Chief Jiang’s expression changed, and he immediately spoke.

“Not sensible? I think the people in your department are quite confident.” Deputy Liu brought over a cup of tea and slowly drank. He didn’t expect things to go so smoothly and seemed rather amused, and even his voice was purposely slower. “In that case, you don’t need our department’s connection. I believe that you have enough confidence to investigate this case.”

Most of this case’s information was with Deputy Liu, and his unwillingness to provide the information to them obviously meant that he was out to get them. Section Chief Jiang flushed with anger and retorted, “Deputy Liu, you’re being unreasonable. You’re not even willing to give us the information, you don’t care about my department at all!”

Most of the 18th-floor people were talents brought out by Section Chief Jiang. He could voluntarily go, but he didn’t want them to become victims of the struggle between the two factions.

“Section Chief Jiang, it’s okay. Let’s go.” Section Chief Jiang originally intended to argue further with Deputy Liu, but he was stopped by Pan Mingyue. She walked over and said softly, “Since he dares to openly give you the case despite being certain that you won’t be able to investigate it, he naturally won’t cooperate with you seriously.”

Section Chief Jiang also knew that. Furthermore, even if he really compromised and left this time, those on the 18th floor would gradually be replaced by Deputy Liu from top to bottom.

This time, Deputy Liu was serious about moving the entire 18th floor. Even if he felt like Jiangdong’s case couldn’t be investigated, he wouldn’t really help Section Chief Jiang.

Section Chief Jiang knew this very clearly in his heart.

He tilted his head and sighed softly, looking at Pan Mingyue’s calm expression. In the end, he didn’t say anything and just went out with her.

Sister Liu silently followed them onto the elevator.

She didn’t say a word from beginning to end but just stared at Pan Mingyue’s straight figure incredulously.

In her eyes, Pan Mingyue had always been a quiet girl. Of course, in Luo Qian’s words, she was a wise lady.

But unexpectedly, she had been so courageous to dare to speak to Deputy Liu like that?

She had even arrogantly accepted the case that no one dared to touch?

This was a little different from her character.

“I’m sorry, Sister Liu. I might have involved you.” Pan Mingyue glanced at her and thought about it for a while. “I’ll go back and make a report later. I’ll be responsible for this case together with Section Chief Jiang.”

In a trance, Sister Liu paused upon hearing this.

In actual fact, taking up this task was a strenuous and unrewarding task for Pan Mingyue. Normal people wouldn’t even want to touch this case.

However, Pan Mingyue was right. Some people wanted to replace the people on the 18th floor, and they were in a state of losing everything. After so many years, Section Chief Jiang had indeed brought many people out.

“I’m the only expatriate on the entire 18th floor. Without me, it’ll be even more difficult for you,” Sister Liu said and lifted her chin. “It’s okay, I’ll start over again. I’ll go to Inspector He for the case.”

Sister Liu wasn’t even 30 years old yet and naturally had proud capital to secure her current position now.

However, she was really going out to pave her own way in this matter.

“I’m just an intern, it’s alright.” Pan Mingyue also smiled.

When the elevator reached the 18th floor, several people stood at the elevator entrance chatting. When the elevator stopped again, the three of them walked out.

Section Chief Jiang stared at their backs, his heart becoming even heavier.

On the 17th floor.

After Section Chief Jiang and the others had left, someone turned to Deputy Liu. “This Pan Mingyue was personally approved by Inspector Feng. Would this…”

“I’ve already checked. Pan Mingyue was simply the victim of the 712 case at that time.” Deputy Liu put down his teacup. Pan Mingyue had caused a big ordeal because of the recent freshman incident, and there had been some gossip about her being related to the Lu family, but it was all just rumors.

Deputy Liu didn’t believe it. After all, if she really had connections, then she wouldn’t have been unwanted by all when she first entered the Inspection Inst.i.tute. In the end, Section Chief Jiang had taken her under his wing.

Section Chief Jiang’s background information was the cleanest in the Inspection Inst.i.tute.

But Deputy Liu was afraid of changes and hadn’t joined hands with him.

Originally, he only intended to move Section Chief Jiang and didn’t expect that because of Pan Mingyue, he would be able to move a few of Section Chief Jiang’s confidants.

If it hadn’t been for the timing, Deputy Liu really wanted to thank the young and energetic Pan Mingyue.

As for Section Chief Jiang, would he be promoted and have a salary increase because of the case?

Deputy Liu didn’t even consider it.

…

Jiangdong’s case was huge, and an ultimatum had been placed on it as well. They had to give a satisfactory answer after half a month, so the whole Inspection Inst.i.tute was shunning this case.

After the 18th floor took over, Deputy Liu immediately issued a notice. Let alone the 18th floor, the whole Inspection Inst.i.tute was boiling.

After Section Chief Jiang and the others returned, the people in the office all stared at them involuntarily.

Fan Tongya glanced at Section Chief Jiang, then at Pan Mingyue, and sneered. She retracted her gaze and sent a message to a certain group on WeChat—

[Cousin, do you think she knows that even the Lu family doesn’t dare to take this case easily?]

Pan Mingyue was familiar with such gazes. She had mingled with Qin Ran since young and had received all kinds of judging gazes. Hence, she wasn’t bothered at all and returned to her place as usual.

Luo Qian turned around and whispered, “We’re really taking Jiangdong’s case?”

If even Luo Qian knew about this, there was obviously a lot of commotion.

Turning on the computer and logging into her temporary account on the Inspection Inst.i.tute website, Pan Mingyue began retrieving files in the database. She nodded casually in reply.

“… d.a.m.n.” Luo Qian looked at how calm she was and subconsciously leaned back in his chair. He muttered, “… It’s over. It’s obviously going to kill us. Forget about taking the blame, we’re going to be held accountable to the end.”

As he was talking, Section Chief Jiang, who had just entered, came out again and announced a meeting in the conference room.

Ten minutes later, in the conference room.

Section Chief Jiang and his a.s.sistant stood in front, looking at everyone seriously. “I believe you all know about the Jiangdong case. Now, I want to file a report, but there are only five people on this list. I’ll report to the higher-ups seriously. This matter has nothing to do with you all, so you don’t have to bear the consequences.”

Upon hearing this, most of the people in the conference room were relieved.

Other than Pan Mingyue and Sister Liu, the other two people involved were Section Chief Jiang’s confidants. Once Section Chief Jiang left, these confidants wouldn’t be left alone by Deputy Liu.

After announcing this matter, Section Chief Jiang hurried out and rushed to submit the report.

Luo Qian followed behind Pan Mingyue and Sister Liu. “Why are you two involved and not me?”

Pan Mingyue pushed her gla.s.ses and ignored him, still thinking about the case.

Sister Liu was so annoyed that she directly said, “I begged Section Chief Jiang. You can also ask him before he hands in the report.”

Luo Qian’s eyes lit up. “Oh, I see. Then, I’ll go and find Section Chief Jiang!”

Behind him, Sister Liu looked doubtfully at him. “Has he been poisoned too?”

For interns like Luo Qian, it was an extremely rare opportunity to work in the Inspection Inst.i.tute. Why was he so foolish?

Luo Qian did what he said and somehow managed to touch Section Chief Jiang into coming back and re-typing a report.

The other people in the office were also busy. Seeing Section Chief Jiang come back, most of them avoided his gaze.

After finally escaping from the case, no one wanted to get involved and have to be held accountable.

After all…

Most of the people in the Inspection Inst.i.tute knew that Jiangdong’s case was simply hopeless. Even if the two Great G.o.ds Inspector He and Inspector Feng joined hands, they could only do so much.

As for Section Chief Jiang, Pan Mingyue, and the others, there might not even be a 1% possibility.
