Chapter 1475 - 1478: Have Your Supervisor Come See Me

At the moment she heard these words, the female subordinate who was reassigned to Beijing with Wenren Meiqiao in the office flared up, standing as if to go find the person and argue. Just then, sitting behind her desk, Wenren Meiqiao silently but coldly signaled to her, "Calm down."Upon hearing this, although the female subordinate's expression was grim, she chose to remain silent.

Meanwhile, in the outer office hall, since it was almost lunchtime, the clerical staff of the Dragon Group had practically all put down their work and gathered together, speaking gossip in hushed tones.

"Haha, isn't it obvious? Wenren Meiqiao, the eternal second, is a famous figure here in our Dragon Group. Previously, I never understood why she kept losing to Qian Shanxue for over a decade. But after she arrived, I realized she's just foolish. It would be strange if she ever won."

"Exactly, have you considered this? In this great capital city, there are all sorts of people, from all walks of life. What's not possible here? Things are so hectic with our Dragon Group, our district's three combat teams are so busy they can't catch a break. And yet she's here, overthinking about some filariasis patients. I looked it up online; that disease was controlled long ago. The recent cases domestically were all found after people returned from overseas travel. Investigating this is just a waste of time."

"Absolutely, there are hundreds of monitored cultivators in our district. These guys come from various sects and families, and some are loose cultivators. They are rife with conflicts, drawing weapons at the slightest discord. If you're not careful, it can be fatal. And then she comes, not even considering how complicated the situation is, and puts her focus on filariasis. It's laughable, like a dog meddling in mouse affairs."

"She is neglecting her duties! That's a doctor's job. What does it have to do with her? Ha, she's just idle, isn't she?"

Listening to the words from the office lobby, Wenren Meiqiao was furious.

In fact, as the regional chief of the Dragon Group's Beijing Branch, Wenren Meiqiao was far more astute than the average person, because she understood that those who dare to brandish swords and murder in the street won't get away with it. The Dragon Group's combat team can respond within five minutes, and even if the opponent is a super strong person above the Dao Fruit Stage, they will find no escape.

Therefore, those who draw swords at a whim do not pose a truly massive threat.

Because in their impulsiveness, their actions are monitored, and dealing with them takes only minutes.

The real threat often comes from those who hide their emotions.

They operate from the shadows, in a densely populated city like Beijing, they can blend into the crowd, and their covert actions can cause significant harm that's hard to trace. These are the criminals Wenren Meiqiao needs to be wary of.

This is why, upon arrival, the first case she personally took on was the murder case of the nineteen-year-old pregnant girl.

Because Wenren Meiqiao understood that if that case were mishandled, the two suspicious cultivator sects might launch a major conflict, and if two sects were to fight within her jurisdiction, the resulting losses would be terrifying.

That is also why she is investigating filariasis.

Killers in the street—combat teams handle them directly.

But if someone truly is spreading the disease in secret and no one stops them, the number of patients will increase. Once it reaches the mid-to-late stage, filariasis, which might seem insignificant, will torment patients for life.

It will also render them unable to work, preventing them from living dignified lives.

"I won't give up." A cold light flickered in Wenren Meiqiao's eyes as she thought to herself, "Unless it can be proven that no one is spreading it, and it's simply naturally occurring, no amount of gossip will deter me!"

Meanwhile, while Wenren Meiqiao resolved this, the staff outside in the office lobby, awaiting the end of their shift, remained ignorant of her thoughts, laughing and whispering with unabated interest.

"Haha, people investigating filariasis must be brain dead, their thinking must be off. I really don't understand what the Dragon Group's higher-ups are thinking, assigning such responsibility to someone with that level of IQ. Must be all about under-the-table gifting."

Hearing that nearly twenty years of her efforts were being rated like this, Wenren Meiqiao was enraged, her eyebrows knitting tightly together as she stood up. But just as she was about to walk out, she clearly heard a man's mocking and lazy voice from outside in the office lobby.

"If you're going to talk behind someone's back, have some guts. Stand tall and speak up instead of sneaking around like you're pilfering."

Instantly, Wenren Meiqiao froze because she immediately recognized that it was Shen Qiang speaking.

"Who are you? Get out. It's lunchtime. Come back in the afternoon."

Facing the middle-aged woman with a displeased and cold face, Shen Qiang smiled.

"Oh, I'm that brain-damaged person you're talking about, the one with abnormal thinking, yet still entrusted with duties. My name is Shen Qiang, Security Advisor for the Dragon Group. I'm here to investigate filariasis."

Everyone in the office hall was momentarily dumbfounded.

"Shen Qiang... the King of Demons!"

"A big shot from Heshenghe!"

"Wow, Security Advisor!"

Looking at the shocked Dragon Group personnel, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Why are you all staring at me?" Then, glancing at his watch, he said, "There are still five minutes before the end of work. Your laziness makes it easy for me to suggest that the Dragon Group cancels your bonuses for this month. Besides, there's one more thing."

With a very calm expression, Shen Qiang walked over to the middle-aged woman who had frozen in place and slightly bent down. Staring into her eyes with a smile, he said, "What was it you just said? That those investigating filariasis are brain dead?"

Seeing the middle-aged woman seemingly trying to argue, Shen Qiang calmly said, "Let me educate you on something. Listen carefully. Filariasis is spread by mosquito bites. Spring has arrived in the capital, and it won't be long before there are many mosquitoes. If we don't uncover the reasons for the resurgence of filariasis, even you won't be able to escape."

The middle-aged woman sneered at these words, and seeing the skepticism in her eyes, Shen Qiang smiled calmly: "You think because you're a cultivator, you can kill the mosquitoes around you and you'll be fine? Then let me tell you an astonishing fact. Filariasis eggs and larvae are incredibly small, and they can be transmitted through the mouths of mites. So, save your self-righteousness and have your supervisor Wenren Meiqiao come out to see me immediately."
