Opening an office in Taila

Goredia is gone. A being capable of supersonic speeds on the Earth's surface, she vanished in the blink of an eye.

Song Yufeng didn't know what she was going to do; perhaps she was going to notify the other deep-sea hunters.

Skadi has officially joined Song Yufeng's side. Without a doubt, Skadi is a true expert in exterminating the Sealings. Skadi's perception of the Sealings is far more sensitive than Song Yufeng's. With her help in the patrol group, there will definitely be an opportunity to capture more members of the Deep Sea Church and weaken their power in advance.

"Titi...you don't mind me calling you that, do you?" Song Yufeng said with a smile.

"Do as you please, I have no objection," Skadi nodded.

"Yes, you can just call me Song Yufeng. And as for the horn, you can just call me by my name. Calling me Mr. Song sounds too formal." Song Yufeng smiled and said, "We'll have more cooperation in the future. You should have received orders to attack Lentinium, right?"

“Yes, the higher-ups have ordered our entire Storm Commando team to join,” Horn said.

"Yes, take this time to prepare well. By the way, come visit me sometime," Song Yufeng said with a smile.

Without lingering, Song Yufeng returned to Xiaoqiu County. Skadi was assigned to his patrol group. With Skadi's help, they captured more than twenty members of the Deep Sea Church on the first day alone, and captured more on the second day, and even killed a Holy Envoy. Their efficiency was astonishing, which also bought them more time and weakened the Deep Sea Church's strength.

On the other hand, the commander of the Londinium Citizens' Self-Salvation Army, Crovisia, had learned of these events and had begun to gradually reduce conflicts with the Theresis army.

Just as Song Yufeng was carrying out the military's mission in an orderly manner, a phone call completely disrupted his plans.

"Mr. Song?"

"I am, are you?"

“I am Kolevich, an inspector from the Ursus Prosecutor’s Office.”

"Hello, Mr. Kolevich, what can I do for you?"

"Here's the thing, a major problem has arisen in Ursus. We've discovered that some members of your Underworld Merchant Guild are colluding with Ursus officials in embezzlement and corruption. We've already arrested several of them, and as per regulations, we're informing you."

Upon hearing this news, Song Yufeng was not surprised at all. He had known that corruption would soon emerge the day he learned that the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce had undertaken a large number of projects, but he did not expect it to happen so quickly.

Moreover, these guys actually acted first and informed me later, arresting people and then notifying me.

At the same time, Lin Yuxia also walked in. She had just received a report from Minghuang that several people in charge of engineering within Minghuang had been arrested.

Song Yufeng admired the courage of these people; it was indeed brave of them to dare to target their own chamber of commerce at this time.

"Do I need to go back and handle this? This kind of thing happened in my own team, and I will definitely deal with it strictly." Song Yufeng actually hated corruption, but he had seen too much corruption in his previous life, so he had become numb to it.

Frankly speaking, corruption will continue to exist as long as human society exists and hasn't reached the point of complete communism.

Moreover, he didn't think the case would take long, at most a few days.

"You'd better come back. There are many complicated aspects to this case, and it would be great if you could help," Kolevich said sincerely.

So Song Yufeng returned to Ursus. Until he landed, Song Yufeng still thought it was just a minor case. His main hope was to use this incident to make an example of someone and stabilize the situation back home.

When he met Kolevich, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

The office was filled with all sorts of documents, evidence, cases, confessions, and clue sheets of paper covered the entire whiteboard.

"Is it that serious?" Song Yufeng asked.

“Extremely serious, Mr. Song. This could very well be the most serious corruption case in Ursus’ history.”

Then, Kalevich began to recount the events of the incident.

About a month ago, an underground tunnel collapsed during construction in Keelin City. In theory, this was just a normal construction accident. Fortunately, there were no casualties. The police went to investigate, and the Keelin City government also sent professionals to investigate. They quickly reached a conclusion and were planning to close the case soon.

However, an engineer named Kalani did not think it was that simple. The blueprints and explorations were all correct, and theoretically, it was impossible for the tunnel to collapse.

Unconvinced, he decided to personally inspect the collapsed underground tunnel. However, what he found shocked him: the tunnel had been found to have serious shoddy construction practices, with all aspects failing to meet standards. Fortunately, the tunnel had not yet been put into use; otherwise, the losses would have been enormous.

However, the officials in both Jilin City and Minghuang ignored this problem.

Kalani became increasingly alarmed and went to the prosecutor's office.

Karevich was then ordered to investigate in Kirin City. After a month of investigation, they discovered that there was likely a huge network of vested interests in Kirin City, which started from within the Minghuang and spread until it corrupted most of the officials in the entire Kirin City government. Their investigation was also fraught with difficulties, and it seemed that they would be hindered wherever they went.

Left with no other choice, they could only arrest a few marginalized individuals first, and then ask Song Yufeng for help.

"Who are your suspects?" Song Yufeng asked.

"There are likely three main culprits. The most suspicious are Li Yu, the project director of the engineering department of the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce, Norriech, the director of the engineering bureau of Kirin City, and Raseviev, the mayor of Kirin City."

Song Yufeng was alarmed. It could be said that if something happened to these three people, then the entire city of Jilin would be completely rotten from top to bottom.

Song Yufeng was furious. Jilin City was the current headquarters of Minghuang, and during wartime it was Minghuang's most secure base. How could such a thing happen now?

"Leave this to me, I'll investigate it myself!"

At this time, Song Yufeng was unaware that this corruption case would be recorded in the history of Terra, and could be described as an unprecedented and unparalleled case of corruption.

The corruption case involving Jilin Minghuang has officially begun.
