Xia Tianqiong, along with a group of contracted monsters, dug holes and planted trees all over the sky island like an old farmer.
They were working with great enthusiasm, and every contracted ghost had a smile on their face.
They were even more eager than Xia Tianqiong, because they all knew that their master was always generous, and that with such a large orchard, they would never lack spiritual fruits to eat.
On the other side, the Lin'an City Bureau of Strange Affairs.
Director Qin sat in his office, his face full of worry.
In just one month, my head became even balder.
Linan City has now become the most unsafe city in the country, with the highest daily death toll among all cities.
Except for a few industries related to people's livelihoods, which are under strict protection by the government and can barely operate, most other industries have stopped working and production.
Social order is on the verge of collapse, and people are facing hardship.
Director Qin bears responsibility for things turning out this way.
The Imperial Capital Bureau has issued a strict order: Xia Tianqiong must be found, and the current situation in Lin'an City must be resolved as soon as possible.
He was also on the verge of tears. He had originally come to Lin'an City to gain experience, but after going through the motions, he would be transferred back to headquarters and his position would be promoted accordingly.
Who knew it would turn into this mess!
Forget about promotion, it would be good enough if they weren't demoted.
"Ta-da!"
A knock sounded, and the female secretary pushed the door open and came in.
"Director Qin, I heard some news. It seems that Xia Tianqiong has returned."
Director Qin suddenly looked up, both surprised and delighted. "Where is he? Quickly, bring him here."
For more than a month, both the Bureau's ghost hunters and the people of Lin'an City have been searching everywhere for Xia Tianqiong, hoping for his return.
Unfortunately, no trace of it was found.
The female secretary looked a little embarrassed. "I was passing by Minister Liu's office when I heard Zhou Boyu tell him that he saw a figure at the entrance of the Administration Bureau, but it disappeared before he could see the face clearly. They guessed it was Xia Tianqiong."
The Minister Liu she mentioned was the former Secretary Liu of Director Chen, who has now been transferred to the Logistics Department as Minister.
However, the older staff at the Lin'an branch still habitually call him Secretary Liu.
"I am the bureau chief, why didn't Zhou Boyu report to me?"
Director Qin frowned, his face showing displeasure.
However, he himself knew in his heart that he was parachuted in, and just a few days after he arrived, Lin'an City was in chaos, which also led to Xia Tianqiong leaving the Administration Bureau.
It's fair to say that everyone in the Lin'an branch office, except for the female secretary he brought from the capital, had a problem with him.
It's just that no one dares to say it.
Director Qin sighed, sat back in his chair, picked up the landline himself, and called Secretary Liu.
Less than two minutes later, Secretary Liu knocked on the door and came in.
"I heard Xia Tianqiong is back?"
Director Qin got straight to the point, without beating around the bush, and there was no time to beat around the bush with him now.
Secretary Liu was slightly taken aback. "I just heard about it too, and I'm not quite sure yet. I only saw a silhouette, but that person can teleport, so it's very likely to be him."
Director Qin paused for a moment, then spoke again with a hint of complaint in his voice.
"Xiao Liu, I only asked him to bow his head to the public and admit his mistake. There was no real punishment. I didn't expect him to just walk away like that."
Thinking about it, I also bear some responsibility; I handled it poorly. Xiao Liu, you've been in contact with him quite a bit. Call him and ask him to come back. We can discuss any terms!
Secretary Liu could also sense the change in Director Qin. In the past month, he had not only aged considerably, but he had also lost the high spirits he had when he was first transferred here.
"Director Qin, when I heard the news, I called him immediately. I got through, but no one answered."
"The call went through, but no one answered?"
Director Qin repeated, a look of delight on his face, "This means he has indeed returned, otherwise the phone call wouldn't have gone through. Let's keep calling until he answers."
Secretary Liu thought to himself, "If it weren't for you, Xia Tianqiong wouldn't have left. Now it won't be easy to get her back."
However, that's not the right way to put it.
"Given his personality and abilities, even if he manages to break through, he might not come back."
"No way! Let's think of another way, we can't give up!"
Director Qin slumped back in his chair, unable to hide his disappointment.
The current situation in Lin'an City is beyond the control of the official ghost hunters, and the Imperial Capital Bureau is unwilling to send experts to help. He now only has Xia Tianqiong as his sole hope.
Secretary Liu also felt a little reluctant, after all, he was a member of the system.
"It's not that there's no way out. The reason Xia Tianqiong left was because of a video circulating online that turned him from a hero into a villain that everyone hated."
If the full video from that time could be released, and the authorities could officially vouch for him and restore his reputation, perhaps he could be brought back.
Director Qin's eyes lit up. "That's right, how come I didn't think of that? Let's do it that way."
When I told Xia Tianqiong that the dashcam was damaged and the video was lost, it was all nonsense.
Not only was it not lost, but it was also stored in the database and became the highest level of encrypted information.
On the Sky Island Orchard.
Xia Tianqiong walked around with his hands behind his back, watching the group of contracted ghosts dig holes and plant trees, looking more like a supervisor.
"Xiao Ba, are you being lazy again? How can such a big tree grow in such a shallow hole?"
He kicked Xiao Ba, who was digging in the dirt with his butt sticking out, in the butt, sending him tumbling over.
Xiao Ba got up, looking all wronged.
“Master, it was the Infant Tree Ghost who told me this. It said that this tree is a bloodthirsty tree and moves slowly, so it's better to bury the roots shallowly.”
Since the Infant Tree Demon is a member of the Tree Demon race, it has a better understanding of the Tree Demon's true form, so Xia Tianqiong put it in charge of command.
How to plant it? Where to plant it? Just listen to it.
