    *Super sensing was only the beginning; subsequently, one needed to sense the appropriate Second Energy Level, which depended greatly on luck.*

    *It was like fishing in the dark; some people were lucky and might catch it on the same day, while others might not succeed for years.*

    “Now you really have to join me in the headquarters’ elite patrol.” Xu Qiu couldn’t help but glance at Lin Qing.

    From the way Lin Qing restrained Chu Tianyao, she could guess that he must have also mastered the four combat techniques, “Steel,” “Soft,” “WeChat,” and “Power;” otherwise, he couldn’t have forcibly restrained Chu Tianyao and neutralized his attacks without injury.

    As for “Speed” and “Sensitivity,” those were mastered by Lin Qing long ago, and she had heard about them.

    This meant that Lin Qing’s strength was already completely on par with hers.

    “When are you going to headquarters?” Lin Qing asked.

    “It’s always mid-year.”

    Xu Qiu explained, “On July 1st, we officially report to headquarters because every year personnel and resources are adjusted at this time.”

    “That’s three or four months away.” Lin Qing nodded slightly.

    “You can go now if you want, since it’s not the urban circle, you don’t need a visa,” Xu Qiu said.

    “Let’s talk about it later.”

    Lin Qing glanced at Xu Qiu who was sitting across from him and said, “However, I’m more curious about how Team Leader Xu lost consciousness before?”

    “That person wore a mask, I don’t know who it was, but their strength was indeed terrifying.”

    Xu Qiu frowned and said, “I felt it should at least be on par with a Senior Patrol Chief, and they defeated me with just one casual move.”

    “One move?” Lin Qing asked in surprise, “What level of strength is a Senior Patrol Chief?”

    “Under normal circumstances, a genetically awakened individual who has matured or a top-tier expert before genetic awakening might qualify for the rank of Senior Patrol Chief,” Xu Qiu explained.

    “That strong?” Lin Qing frowned slightly, “What is the specific level of a Senior Patrol Chief?”

    He suspected this person might be the primary figure of the Yuanhong Society, but felt this power was a bit too much.

    “If they are genetically awakened, they must wait until their gene adaptation is in the most optimal state and have cultivated a series of combat skills to the instinct level,” Xu Qiu explained.

    Lin Qing also did not fully understand what this level of strength entailed and couldn’t help but ask, “What if they haven’t undergone genetic awakening?”

    “Such cases are not uncommon.”

    Xu Qiu pondered for a moment, then said, “For those who haven’t awakened, to rival a matured genetically awakened individual, they must not only master an original combat skill but also control an appropriate genetic ability in advance.”

    Lin Qing suddenly realized.

    This showed that a Senior Patrol Chief was indeed much stronger than a regular Patrol Chief.

    “The person who ambushed me was probably cooperating with Chu Tianyao to kill you,” Xu Qiu said, “But they had no intention of killing me, nor did they come for you, right?”

    “No, I never saw them at all.” Lin Qing shook his head.

    Although he had cultivated six combat techniques to the instinct level, the other person not only mastered original combat techniques but also could control an appropriate genetic ability in advance!

    This was far more powerful than he was now.

    With such astounding strength, if they wanted to kill him, he might not have survived.

    “If it were the primary figure of the Yuanhong Society, they would have coordinated with Chu Tianyao to kill me, right?” Lin Qing frowned.

    “It is indeed odd.”

    Xu Qiu also frowned and said, “If they wanted to kill me, one move would suffice, yet they didn’t harm me at all, they simply prevented me from saving you.”

    “That still doesn’t make much sense.” Lin Qing shook his head, “If they stopped you from saving me, it was to allow Chu Tianyao to kill me.

    If I were to die, after Chu Tianyao was killed, why didn’t they come after me?”

    Xu Qiu shook his head slightly, uncertain of how to explain.

    “Perhaps this person never intended to target me at all.” Lin Qing couldn’t help but say.

    *In fact, he was certain.*

    *If they harbored hostility towards him, the Order Level would inevitably decline.

    With such power comparable to a Senior Patrol Chief, who knows how much the Order Level would drop?*

    “It should not be the primary figure of Yuanhong Society.”

    Xu Qiu shook his head and said, “In the end, it’s only Yuanhong Society.

    Even if the primary figure had the combat power of a Patrol Chief level, that would be quite outrageous, let alone at the Senior Patrol Chief level.

    Unless it’s that this so-called primary figure isn’t actually in charge of Yuanhong Society, that might have been a possibility.”

    Lin Qing nodded gently.

    A Senior Patrol Chief was considered an elite of the headquarters, and once deployed, they served as the highest commander for inspections across multiple provinces.

    Such figures might not count for much in the urban circle, but they were significant figures in the global inspection community.

    “It seems the waters of Lin’an City run very deep…” Lin Qing couldn’t help falling into thought.

    …

    Soon enough.

    When the patrol car arrived at Lin’an City’s international airport, it took a special personnel passage to the vicinity of the government-dedicated airport.

    This airport only permitted landings by military and government-owned aircraft.

    Lin’an City had a total of seventeen patrol officers, and today, an unusual fifteen of them had gathered.

    Except for Chen Yanan, who had not yet returned to duty, and one officer who was away on business, the other fifteen were already waiting at the dedicated airport.

    Additionally, the City Patrol Bureau Chief, Zhang Guodong, had brought two subordinates to the scene to welcome them.

    Although the chief only had an administrative role and no patrol rank, he was still the highest leader of the City Patrol Bureau.

    The visitor was reputed to be an Inspector and three Senior Patrol Chiefs, and if it wasn’t due to work, Yuan Anping, the General Captain, should have led all the patrol officers to greet them to adhere to proper etiquette.

    Lin Qing and Xu Qiu were the last to arrive, and with five minutes to spare, the special plane dispatched by headquarters was about to land.

    When the thirteen patrol officers saw Lin Qing, they eagerly came over to greet him.

    Their attitude had already been friendly before, but now it was exceptionally warm.

    “Haha, Captain Lin, you haven’t been seen for a while and have earned another merit?”

    “I heard Chu Tianyao has been taken down by Captain Lin?”

    “I always believed Captain Lin was a genius, and I wasn’t wrong.

    Captain Lin is only eighteen but has captured an S-level fugitive?”

    “With first-class merit and your current strength, Captain Lin, you’re soon to be a Patrol Chief, aren’t you?”

    “An eighteen-year-old Patrol Chief, our Lin’an can finally boast its own genius patrol officer.”

    “When the Inspector learns of this, they might praise Captain Lin later.”

    Several patrol officers who were considered influential in Lin’an City were now almost all gathered around Lin Qing with fervent enthusiasm.

    Lin Qing understood their thoughts.

    An eighteen-year-old Patrol Chief was indeed rare; someone with such potential generally at least aimed to become a student of the Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall, rarely taking the patrol path.

    This kind of exceptional talent joining the patrol was indeed uncommon.

    With such a bright future, coupled with achievements and strength that commanded respect, how could the patrol officers present not be enthusiastic?

    Meanwhile, Chief Zhang Guodong stood calmly to the side, nodding slightly to Lin Qing, considering it as acknowledgment, maintaining the dignity and restraint of a leader.

    The patrol officers were merely polite to him, but toward Lin Qing, they were fervent with enthusiasm.

    Having spent years in the political arena, he wasn’t overly concerned about such matters.

    For a leader, he generally didn’t prefer subordinates who were promoted too quickly or had significantly high prestige, nor did he like the hasty attitude of ranking strength and merit above all else.

    It was quite informal.

    “Everyone, return to your positions.”

    Zhang Guodong suddenly spoke solemnly, “The Inspector has arrived, and if the Inspector sees this later, what does it say about our discipline?”

    Upon hearing this, the patrol officers looked over and indeed saw a white military plane heading in their direction.

    …

    After the plane had landed, the stairway vehicle was already in position.

    With a hiss, the cabin door slowly opened.

    A woman, approximately twenty-five or twenty-six years old, dressed in white sportswear and with a high ponytail, appeared at the cabin door and descended the stairway.

    Behind her, three men followed.

    Lin Qing couldn’t help but look closely.

    Was this the legendary Inspector and the three Senior Patrol Chiefs?

    ?ον??.??

    The high ponytail woman strolled leisurely with her entourage to the front of the patrol officers.

    City Chief Zhang Guodong immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying, “Welcome to the Inspector and the three Senior Patrol Chiefs for coming to Lin’an City to guide us.

    Please instruct us.”

    “Hmm.”

    The high ponytail woman cast an uninterested glance at Zhang Guodong, swept her gaze over the crowd, and casually said, “I’m Tang Wanqiu, the Inspector specially appointed by the Inspection Headquarters.”

    At this moment, her gaze suddenly paused on Lin Qing, a smile forming on her lips, and she said, “Are you Lin Qing?”
