Zuo Haoran wanted to refuse, but since several clansmen were involved, he could only report a few more people to prove his innocence if he wanted to clear the Zuo family's reputation.
There was only one way for him to go.
He consoled himself by saying that Country A was humanity's true beacon. They could always plant new ones if they wanted, and there were plenty of people willing to work for them. If this batch was gone, there were always new ones.
He had sent them the Jie Gou, and with such a great contribution, they would definitely not settle accounts with him. Moreover, he was a Jindan Master, and once they knew the power of a Jindan Master, they would only continue to offer benefits to win him over.
He had made up his mind, but he didn't want Shi Miao to have an easy time.
"With great ability comes great responsibility. It is our duty to contribute to the country. However, my power is limited, so I need Shi Miao's help."
Shi Miao, don't even think about throwing this job to him.
When the cadre heard Shi Miao's name, a look of admiration crossed his face. "In order to catch them all in one fell swoop, Shi Miao read several fortunes for us. As a result, she was exhausted and has been recuperating at home for the past few days. Although it doesn't look serious, I think she acted so relaxed because she didn't want us to worry or feel guilty."
The Wen family also had a doctor, and his skills were quite good. Ever since Shi Miao and the Wen family got to know each other, her second aunt had used her connections to hire a doctor with superb medical skills.
Zuo Haoran didn't believe that Shi Miao, a dignified Jindan Grandmaster, would go to such lengths for the sake of the country. "Her cultivation level is there. A simple fortune-telling wouldn't exhaust her like this. As a fellow Jindan Grandmaster, I understand her very well."
Shi Miao probably pretended to be sick because she didn't want to offend foreign powers. She pretended to be sick and then put the blame on him. It was extremely insidious and cunning. Zuo Haoran felt that he couldn't let Shi Miao be comfortable alone.
The cadre said, "It's not that easy to tell fortunes, is it? Shi Miao not only figured out their identities, but also their hiding places, including where they hid the evidence. She figured out a total of 28 people."
Most of the arrangements made by Country A in City S over the years have been destroyed, but how come it becomes a trivial matter in Master Zuo's mouth?
She was no fool; she could naturally hear Master Zuo's dissatisfaction with Shi Miao, and she couldn't help but grumble inwardly: Could it be that one of his own clansmen had done something wrong, so he was taking his anger out on Shi Miao, saying, "Shi Miao was so precise, he'd exposed them all!" It was clearly their own fault for not raising their children well, so what did Shi Miao have to do with it? He should be thanking Shi Miao for helping the Zuo family eliminate the family's taint.
So she started to speak in a sarcastic tone, "Shi Miao was able to count 28 people, and each of them is a core elite, not a small shrimp. Master Zuo is definitely more powerful than Shi Miao at this age. It must be easy to double his number, right?"
"A person of your noble character would certainly not deliberately let the water go, right?"
Zuo Haoran almost gasped when he heard the number twenty-eight, his face flushing crimson. How had Shi Miao actually uncovered so many people? How on earth had she done it?
If the number of people he calculated was less than Shi Miao's, outsiders would either think that he was far inferior to Shi Miao or that he was letting the game go.
Zuo Haoran painfully discovered that he was being carried onto a high platform and had to do hard labor.
"I will do my best..." It took him a long time to utter these words, and he almost hurt himself internally.
"If you can't do it, tell me. I can understand. After all, not everyone is as selfless as Shi Miao and serves the country and the people."
Zuo Haoran couldn't bear to listen any longer. Isn't it just twenty-eight? If Shi Miao can do it, then so can he.
Sometimes, with Miao, the king of volumes, setting an example before him, Zuo Haoran had no choice but to risk his life.
In the past, a master of metaphysics like him, self-assured of his status, might not even read a single fortune in a month. Now, after a realm breakthrough, his cultivation has reached a new level. But even so, the workload is still too much for him.
After counting ten people in one breath, Zuo Haoran began to feel tired.
He gritted his teeth and continued to divine.
Ten, twelve... When he reached fifteen, Zuo Haoran felt as if all the mana in his body was about to be drained away. He endured the pain of his mana and spiritual power being drained away and continued.
No, he can't lose to Shi Miao!
The further you go, the more detailed the information calculated, and the more uncomfortable you feel.
"Han Shiqing..." He counted the nineteenth name and could no longer bear it. Fresh red blood flowed from his nose, ears, and mouth.
Zuo Haoran fainted and was rushed to the hospital by his family. It was said that his internal injuries improved after he was fed a lot of rare treasures.
Obviously, counting so many people at once was already his limit.
After receiving the news, the higher-ups sent a lot of medicinal herbs to Zuo Haoran. As for Shi Miao, they sent even more.
They also arrested all the people Zuo Haoran had mentioned. Because of the leads, they gathered evidence quickly and caught them red-handed. It could be said that this time, with only Shi Miao and Zuo Haoran, they completely wiped out the intelligence network that foreign forces had been operating in three nearby cities for years. They also followed the clues and removed key officials who had neglected their duties, minimizing the losses caused by the leak of internal intelligence.
In their opinion, Zuo Haoran was so miserable, so Shi Miao's situation must not be much better. Shi Miao was just enduring it in order not to worry them.
Compared to Zuo Haoran, who redeemed himself, they naturally had a better impression of Shi Miao, who always gave her all without asking for anything in return. Furthermore, Shi Miao had made a lot of contributions in the past two years... If they didn't apply for a medal for her, they would wake up in the middle of the night with guilt and slap themselves twice.
She had already applied for the award for bravery... It was the end of the year, and the list of first-class merits for this year had already been released, so Shi Miao would be evaluated next year. Also, because Shi Miao had made great contributions to the country's counter-espionage work, she was given a reward of one million.
