After Xia Tianqiong finished speaking, she got up and left.
Director Qin looked somewhat surprised. "Xia, don't rush off. Let's talk some more."
"There's nothing to talk about. The video was damaged at the Administration Bureau, and several recorders are missing. Instead of trying to find them and salvage my reputation, you want to punish me. I'd rather not stay at an Administration Bureau like this!"
Xia Tianqiong didn't even turn her head before slamming the door shut.
Director Qin stood there, stunned, wondering how this young man could be so resolute.
Does he really not care about anything?
After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly remembered something, quickly went to his desk, picked up the landline, and called the information department.
"Freeze Xia Tianqiong's points. Without my order, he is not allowed to exchange any information or supplies."
There was a pause on the other end of the phone. "Chief, he just came by and has already exchanged all his points for supplies."
"What?"
Director Qin roared, "Why weren't you told about something so important?"
"Important matters? This is just normal procedure!"
The person on the other end of the phone also felt wronged, as if the new bureau chief was meddling too much.
Director Qin hung up the phone, his expression grim.
He was transferred to Lin'an City to bring Xia Tianqiong to the capital. He thought that by using this incident, he could put pressure on Xia Tianqiong and force him to go to the capital.
But things went wrong, and the person immediately left the management bureau and refused to play with him anymore.
The news quickly spread within the Administration Bureau, much to the delight of civilian ghost hunters.
"Hey, did you guys know? Xia Tianqiong has left the Bureau."
"He didn't leave on his own; I heard he was kicked out by the new director."
"Great, without him, there's no one to compete with us for the mission."
"That's true. He used to take most of the tasks by himself, and it was hard for us to even get a taste of the benefits. Now, thank goodness, this kind of person should have been kicked out long ago."
"You can't say that. At least when he was around, he handled the dangerous missions, and we suffered very few casualties."
In the restaurant, the ghost hunters were all talking about Xia Tianqiong while they ate.
Most people gloated, with only a few saying a few words in his defense, which unfortunately drew opposition.
Jiang Yu and her team sat in a corner, eating their meal in silence.
She stared coldly at those who spoke ill of Xia Tianqiong, memorizing their words and appearances.
Upon learning of this, Secretary Liu rushed to Director Qin's office.
"Director Qin, how could you fire him? He is very important to the Administration Bureau and also to Lin'an City."
Director Qin was furious at the moment. He slammed his hand on the table, frowned, and shouted, "The earth will keep turning no matter who's gone. I don't believe he's that important."
“Lin’an City experiences far more strange occurrences every day than other cities, and he has resolved nearly 80% of them. If he were to suddenly abandon his responsibilities, Lin’an City would descend into chaos.”
Secretary Liu knows best how important Xia Tianqiong is; Lin'an City cannot do without him, but not right now.
Xia Tianqiong was kicked out of the Management Bureau, and the news quickly spread online, once again becoming a trending topic.
Countless netizens cheered, saying that this kind of person does not deserve to be a ghost hunter.
Many people have also questioned the administration, saying that the punishment is too lenient and that the officials should be arrested, sentenced, or even executed.
In short, in the online world, the once-heroic Black Wolf has now become a universally hated villain.
But their joy didn't last long; many people soon regretted it.
Especially the residents of Linan City.
Five days after Xia Tianqiong left the Administration Bureau, strange events began to occur more frequently in Lin'an City.
The Bureau's ghost hunters were overwhelmed, and the number of deaths suddenly surged.
Ten days after they left, one-third of the civilian ghost hunters registered with the Lin'an Administration Bureau died.
The increase in bizarre events has led to a large number of casualties among the ghost hunters.
Many of the ghost hunters who were gloating before have died, and those who are still alive have begun to miss the days when Xia Tianqiong was still alive.
Only then did they understand the true meaning of Xia Tianqiong's existence.
Unfortunately, it was too late; a calamity was about to engulf Lin'an City.
