In the living room, An Mingjie had a contemplative look on his face. After a moment, he spoke:
“If we want to defeat the Feng family in a short time, we don’t have many options.”
“The most direct way is to confront them head-on, but given our current situation, if we start a war directly, it will be difficult to win quickly. Moreover, the An family would suffer heavy losses, and many of our brothers might lose their lives.”
Su Jiang, sitting opposite him, frowned and asked, “Is there any other way?”
An Mingjie was silent for a while, then slowly uttered a few words: “There is, but it’s very difficult.”
“That would be to involve the Chinese Nation’s Inspectorate.”
“The Chinese Nation’s Inspectorate?”
Upon hearing this, Su Jiang looked puzzled and asked, “What kind of department is that? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it.”
At this point, Li Cai, who was sitting nearby, spoke up to explain:
“The Chinese Nation’s Inspectorate is a department established by the Chinese Nation government specifically to maintain social stability and prevent the excessive expansion of the black and white factions within the major family powers.
They have great authority, and their duty is to supervise and restrain the major family powers, ensuring that they do not act recklessly and endanger the lives of ordinary people.
Because Chinese Nation needs these major family powers to exist but also worries that conflicts among these families could affect the normal lives of ordinary people, they established this department to keep the major families in check.”
“That’s right, there is indeed a branch office of the Inspectorate Bureau in Jiangdu.”
An Mingjie nodded and added, “If the Inspectorate Bureau gets involved, the shady dealings the Feng family is doing in the shadows will definitely be uncovered.”
“At that point, we can join forces with the Inspectorate Bureau to directly suppress the Feng family.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jiang’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t expected there to be such a useful department in existence.
Isn’t this like two people planning a fight, but then one of them just goes straight to the police to report the other?
“So what are we waiting for? Let’s go straight to the Inspectorate Bureau!”
However, upon hearing this, An Mingjie and Li Cai both smiled wryly.
“It’s not as simple as you think.”
An Mingjie sighed softly and explained, “Although the Inspectorate Bureau is powerful, their threshold for involvement is very high. Unless it involves major matters, they won’t easily intervene in family disputes.
For small families like ours, which aren’t even considered top-tier, they wouldn’t bother with our conflicts.
Moreover, over the years, the Inspectorate Bureau has been stepping in less and less. It’s said that there are some internal issues, but I don’t know the specifics.
Because the people from major family powers are absolutely forbidden from working in the Inspectorate Bureau. It’s a hard line—cross it, and you’re dead.
So, this second option is almost impossible to achieve.
Su Jiang frowned and said, “Can’t we collect some evidence of the Feng family’s crimes and then report them to the Inspectorate Bureau?”
“It won’t work.”
An Mingjie shook his head slightly. “Not to mention the manpower and time required to collect those pieces of evidence, the key issue is that within the current Inspectorate, no one is willing to add to their own workload.”
“The original intention of establishing the Inspectorate has long since changed over time.”
“People inside now are either doing the bare minimum or creating conditions to do the bare minimum.”
“Especially in small city branches like ours, this situation is even more severe.”
Damn it!
Eating the imperial rations but not doing the actual work!
Su Jiang’s expression twitched, and his newfound good impression of the Inspectorate vanished instantly.
“Moreover, the Inspectorate is also recruiting various external personnel from society—document specialists, psychologists, martial arts instructors, and other miscellaneous positions.”
“Inside, their personnel are also complex and varied. Despite the strict scrutiny of family forces, they do not allow members of black market or two-faced family forces into the Inspectorate.”
Li Cai detailed what he knew, expressing some dissatisfaction because the Inspectorate’s practices could, over time, completely undermine its managerial functions.
For families like the An family, which are diligent and have not done much wrong, such a situation is naturally unwelcome.
Su Jiang listened and nodded. Suddenly, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.
“Wait a moment, Old Li, did you just say that the Inspectorate is hiring psychologists?”
“Yes, that’s right. Who doesn’t have a few psychological issues these days?”
Li Cai responded as if it were obvious, not understanding why Su Jiang brought it up.
Su Jiang’s mind was racing as he devised a brilliant plan.
He quickly looked at An Mingjie and asked, “What if I could get into the Inspectorate?”
Since everyone is slacking off, right?
Fine!
I’ll get in and clean up this mess… oh no, I mean, get in and rectify this corruption!
An Mingjie frowned and pondered for a moment. “Your identity isn’t an issue; currently, the Inspectorate won’t block you based on your background.”
“But the key issue is, how are you going to get in?”
“As far as I know, there are very few spots for martial arts instructors in the Inspectorate, and they are definitely filled now. Other positions likely have relevant professional assessments…”
“I could enter as a psychologist!” Su Jiang interrupted An Mingjie, his eyes shining brightly.
An Mingjie: “???”
Li Cai: “???”
Both stared at Su Jiang with disbelief. Were they hearing him correctly?
You, Su Jiang, a psychologist?
Aren’t you the one with the most psychological issues here?
Li Cai couldn’t understand how Su Jiang had the audacity to say such a thing. You, who talks to mice, want to be a psychologist?
Who would you be treating?
In response to their skeptical looks, Su Jiang ignored them disdainfully.
“You guys don’t understand anything!”
“I’m a system-enabled person. I didn’t even know how to use the psychological analysis skills before, but now they’re coming in handy right away.”
He was no longer Su Jiang.
He was Su · Psychologist · Jiang!
“Don’t worry, I’ve studied psychology online. I guarantee I’ll pass the recruitment assessment.”
Su Jiang said confidently, but An Mingjie and Li Cai were skeptical.
Especially Li Cai, whose eye twitched uncontrollably upon hearing Su Jiang’s words.
You studied online?
You’ve learned quite a mix of things online!
An Mingjie rubbed his forehead, also puzzled about where Su Jiang had picked up all these strange skills.
But after a moment’s thought, he figured that if this guy could talk to rats, understanding some psychology wasn’t too surprising.
An Mingjie quickly gathered his thoughts and analyzed:
“The position of psychologist is indeed quite vacant, but even if you get in, you’d be just an external member. How will we get the inspection bureau to help us?”
“Just relying on you alone, it’s too difficult to drive the entire inspection bureau. Moreover, we can’t offer you any help.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jiang smiled lightly without showing any displeasure. He already had a plan in mind.
“Don’t worry, I have a way!”
Isn’t it just about rectifying a corrupt and complacent wind?
As easy as turning over a hand!
Li Cai looked at Su Jiang’s smile and suddenly had a bad premonition.
The last time he saw Su Jiang smile with such confidence was yesterday.
And then, the Feng family’s factory was blown up.
The inspection bureau… should be fine, right?
