Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Intelligence Department
"Thank you." All three of them bowed down in gratitude again.
With three leaving the office, Xiaoyun moved over to the new sofa.
"Anything I need to do?" Xiaoyun asked.
"Nope, there's nothing on the agenda. Everything is operating smoothly. The food supply is looking good, no shortage of any raw material either. It's like everything is just going perfectly." Yuqi reply back as she read over the documents.
"That's good to hear. That's what we are aiming for right?"
"Yeah I guess... but I feel like something is about to go wrong." Yuqi brought out her worries.
"Come on, don't jinx it now." Xiaoyun stared at the ceiling as he relaxed on the sofa.
After relaxing for a bit, Xiaoyun got up and walked over to Nami and Shuli who has been silent the whole time.
"What you guys working on?' Xiaoyun glanced over to their work.
"Just more future planning." Both of them reply with the same answer.
As Xiaoyun laid down back down onto the sofa doing nothing, Yuqi finally couldn't handle it anymore.
"Do you have nothing else to do?" Yuqi sounded a little angry as she asked.
"Yeah, I really don't have anything to do. You guys already took care of all the civilian side, and Yezi is training all the new recruit. And the army rescue mission is only starting tomorrow so I'm stuck with nothing else to do."
"How about you go bother Yueyue instead?" Yuqi suggested.
"You know what, that's probably a good idea." Xiaoyun got up from the sofa.
-----
When Xiaoyun arrived at the Intelligence department, he could see people walking in and out of the building constantly. Almost as if it was a restaurant or something considering how everyone that was walking in and out was carrying a bag.
The building itself was a one floor building with few windows on the side. It was pretty much a basic long concrete rectangle with no decoration beside the sign that says 'Intelligence Department' next to the door.
"Sir this is a restricted area." The security guard stopped Xiaoyun from going in.
"You don't know me?" Xiaoyun looked a little surprise by the security guard stopping him.
"I'm require to only let people with security clearance inside. Please leave if you do not have one." The security guard ignored Xiaoyun's question.
People behind Xiaoyun was getting a little mad as entire line was being held hostage.
"Okay, I'll be back." Xiaoyun walked out of the entrance and stood outside.
As Xiaoyun stood outside, a person noticed Xiaoyun as they walked passed him.
"Good afternoon Mr.Mayor, what are you doing here?" A middle age man walked up to Xiaoyun.
"Just waiting for a security clearance. Never would I thought I'll be locked out of a building in the town." Xiaoyun replied.
"Yeah, I made the same mistake too. I had to walk all the way back home for it. Those security guard don't care who you are, they only care about the security clearance that Yueyue passed out." The man left after finish talking.
Xiaoyun pulled out his phone to call Yueyue.
"Hey Yueyue, can you let me in? I'm outside of the intelligence department building."
"Okay. I'll be there in a minute."
After hearing Yueyue's response, Xiaoyun hung up his phone and walked back to the front entrance.
Few minutes later...
Yueyue finally came out of the building and helped Xiaoyun get inside.
"What bring you here?" Yueyue curiously asked as Xiaoyun followed Yueyue inside.
"Just want to check it out. I haven't even been to this building yet." Xiaoyun replied.
"Let me give you a tour then." Yueyue got a little enthusiastic as she finished her sentence.
"Over here is the front desk." Yueyue pointed at the front desk reception.
"Hey Mixi!" Yueyue waved toward Mixi.
"Good afternoon Mrs.Yueyue." Mixi waved back.
"Anyway the front desk here is to sort out the anonymous report hotline that we made for people to report suspicious activity."
Yueyue then showed the storage area for the documents of every single person in the town, then an office space where a bunch of people were working to sort out documents of people.
"This doesn't really feel like a intelligence department. More like an office building." Xiaoyun commented as they walked over to the next area.
"Well we just started like last week, and two of those day were break day. So we have a lot of document to sort through... I even had to ask Yuqi from her department to sort all these out."
"Anyway, now we're at the most important place of this department..." Yueyue stopped.
"What is it?" Xiaoyun got a little curious.
"This is the area where the most secretive document and reports are kept. It's also where all the spy that I hired to report to." Yueyue paused for a second.
"I hired almost over a hundred people to be under covered agent to work alongside everyday people to see if there's any corruption or even hidden gangs in the streets.
None of them even know each other, they all report to me. And this back entrance over here is where they enter to here and leave. With a lock that only allow one at a time. And double hallway to avoid them running or seeing each other when they leave outside.
Over there is the locker where they can put their stuff and leave a note for me or to my secretary to check." Yueyue looked very proud as she explained all the details.
"Damn... where did you get the ideas for this? This is impressive." Xiaoyun was in awe by the design Yueyue had created.
"I ask mom about it.You know she has read so many book before, so she gave me one of the book." Yuqi pulled out a book from her pocket and handed it over to Xiaoyun.
"A guide on how to run a spy network, fifth edition... How did Leyan even get this kind of books? Why would she even have it?"
"I don't know, all I know is whoever wrote this book is a genius."
As Xiaoyun read over few of the pages, it was actual legitimate book detailing different government's spy agency and how they function. From the FBI to the KGB, and even old ones like the NKVD.
"What kind of book is Leyan reading everyday... I going to need to ask her what kind of book she have in her collection..." Xiaoyun mumbled as he handed the book back to Yueyue.
"Well mom have like two bookshelf of books that she put in the gym storage room. You can take a look any time." Yueyue replied as they finally arrived at the last place of the intelligence department.
"Here's is where my office is." Yueyue opened the door for Xiaoyun to enter.
The room had a very similar layout to the one back in Yuqi's office, with a sofa and even to the painting on the walls. However it has twice the amount of drawers and only one desk in the room.
Xiaoyun sat down onto the sofa as Yueyue sat down in her seat.
"So what do you think of this place?" Yueyue asked for Xiaoyun's opinion.
"It's quite impressive considering you only had a week to set this up... I can't do a better job than this at all." Xiaoyun complimented Yueyue.
"Of course, I work really hard on it." Yueyue smiled as she took out a piece of paper and started writing something.
Just as the two were having some casual talk, the door was suddenly opened.
The women ran all the way to Yueyue's desk and puts a letter on her desk.
"Mrs.Yueyue, there's an emergency letter you have to check." The person could barely catch a breathe.
Yueyue carefully opened the letter and started reading it.
While Yueyue read the letter, the women left the room.
As Yueyue read the letter, her face turned looked more and more shocked.
"Liming? She's a man?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.
"Yeah, he's a spy. He looked a little feminine to look more innocent undercover." Nami replied.
Suddenly, Yueyue slammed the table in anger.
"What's wrong?" Xiaoyun got a little curious.
"A massive corruption scandal. It's at the agriculture department. You wouldn't believe how bad it is."
"Agriculture department?... Isn't that department under Yezi's wife Yiyi?"
"Yeah, which is why I'm so shock by it. But there's no way Yiyi would do this... She and Yezi have nothing to gain from this." Yueyue replied.
"Then probably someone who's below her did this in secret. Anyway, what exactly is the corruption?"
"False inventory and bribing warehouse worker. Then selling it in the black market. " Yueyue paused for a second.
"One of the warehouse worker was killed for not cooperating with the corrupt official." Yueyue voice changed.
"What? That's over the line..." Xiaoyun was just as angry as Yueyue now.
