Chapter 1910 — Intricate and Tangled

"By the way, I've already filed a report recommending Qiu Lingshan be transferred over. She'd be a criminal investigation captain as well, though her rank would be raised accordingly—after all, she cracked several major cases in succession in Songshan City. And the previous criminal investigation captain here in Donghai City won merit in that case I was involved in, so he's been promoted and transferred to another city. The position is vacant now, and as the standing deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, I still have a good deal of say in the choice of candidate." Yang Huaijun said.
"Qiu Lingshan?" Wei Zhao smiled wryly. He hadn't expected that no sooner had he left than that girl Song would follow right on his heels. "This is probably her own idea too, isn't it?"
"Haha, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. But a woman chasing a man is hardly anything unusual these days. If you think she's a good sort, Chief, there's no harm in giving her a chance." Yang Huaijun suggested.
"I think we'd better forget it. As it is, she has me solving cases for her all day long. If we actually got involved, I'd end up being her assistant morning, noon, and night." Wei Zhao shook his head.
"Then let fate take its course." Yang Huaijun said no more. "In that case, I'll be going. Call me anytime if anything comes up. Once I get through this busy stretch, let's get together properly!"
"Wait—since you're here, let's take care of business first. Last time I said I could raise your strength to the early Mystic Rank, but at the time your meridians had only just been repaired, and I was afraid my method would be more than they could bear. Now there's no problem—I can raise you straight to the peak of the late Mystic Rank." Wei Zhao was an Earth Rank expert now, so he could naturally elevate Yang Huaijun's strength in one go, without having to compress his true qi to push him from the peak of the late Yellow Rank through to the early Mystic Rank.
Compared with Qiu Lingshan and Wu Chengtian and the others, Yang Huaijun would be spared one round of agony.
"You can do it now?" Yang Huaijun drew a deep breath. To be honest, he had been deeply envious when Qiu Lingshan, Chen Yuxuan, and Wu Chengtian had stormed the family assembly with the strength of peak late Mystic Rank. So they had already become experts at the peak of the late Mystic Rank!
That was a height countless cultivators could never reach in a lifetime, and yet they had attained it with ease! If anyone told him they had cultivated it themselves, Yang Huaijun wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death. Remembering how quickly Wei Zhao had repaired his meridians and upgraded him last time, he knew it was all Wei Zhao's doing.
It was just that after coming back, Wei Zhao had not brought it up himself, and Yang Huaijun could hardly ask for power outright. What if Wei Zhao needed to rest for a while after elevating those few? Being turned down would have been terribly awkward.
But now that Wei Zhao had raised it himself, there was no reason for Yang Huaijun to refuse.
"If you have no other business, let's do it now!" Wei Zhao nodded.
