CHAPTER 201: CHAPTER 98: THE LONG-FACED INCIDENT (PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, PLEASE VOTE)

After Yang Su finished talking about his situation, he scanned the room, unable to spot Luo Fei’s figure, and immediately asked, "Director Zheng, where is Luo Fei?"

"He should have made another discovery, so he hasn’t returned yet."

Just as he was speaking, Wang Yong rushed in quickly, "Director Zheng, our team leader is back."

Zheng Changjun, who had pinned all his hopes on Luo Fei, immediately sprang up from his chair upon hearing this and walked briskly outside.

Meanwhile, Luo Fei also stepped into the hall of the XZ Public Security Bureau.

Just as he was about to proceed to the spot directed by Wang Yong to find them, he saw Zheng Changjun leading the Jiangzhou police quickly down the stairs.

"Luo Fei, you’re finally back. Did you find anything?" Zheng Changjun anxiously asked as soon as they met.

At the same time, the elevator beside the hall dinged, and then Zhou Zijie led a crowd of key members of the XZ police out.

It turned out that he too received the news of Luo Fei’s return immediately and, fearing he might miss some important clue, quickly ran down.

Seeing him so urgently, many on Zheng Changjun’s side couldn’t help but curse him for being shameless in their hearts.

Previously mocking them for being unorganized and undisciplined, now he was rushing to claim credit!

The audacity!

Yet Zhou Zijie not only didn’t mind but strode over to them and asked naturally, "So, Director Zheng, has your team member found anything?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Fei; upon seeing how young he still was, his gaze was filled with undisguised scrutiny and suspicion.

The Jiangzhou police actually sent someone who appeared just to have joined the police force recently to go undercover and connect with cunning criminals—this isn’t a joke!

He’s now seriously doubting how Zheng Changjun could have become the director of Jiangzhou’s Public Security Bureau, making such a simple principle error!

Of course, if he knew that most of the officers brought by the other side were merely from the county criminal investigation team, his reaction would be even bigger.

After all, for cases of this level, it seemed to him that it should at least be handled by the city-level criminal investigation team.

"Director Zhou, you got here too fast. I haven’t even had a chance to ask anything," Zheng Changjun casually joked, then introduced, "Luo Fei, this is Director Zhou from the XZ City Bureau."

Luo Fei immediately nodded at Zhou Zijie, "Hello, Director Zhou."

At this point, Zhou Zijie snorted from his nose and said harshly, "Comrade Luo, so young. You probably haven’t been in the police force for many years, right?"

Luo Fei immediately sensed the skepticism in the other’s mindset, and his expression cooled, "Yes, I only joined after passing the civil service exam last year."

At the same time, he was a bit puzzled; he hadn’t provoked him, so what if he’s young? Does being young mean getting targeted by him?

Is he nuts?

Little did he know that just because of him, the other almost clashed with Zheng Changjun.

"What, last year!"

Zhou Zijie exclaimed when he heard the response, immediately looking toward Zheng Changjun.

"I ask you, Director Zheng, what’s going on? How could you let a newcomer take charge of such an important task? You’re joking!"

If he had any hope for Luo Fei just now, he no longer expected anything now.

This kind of newcomer could hardly make any significant discovery.

Also, the Jiangzhou police are too unreliable, particularly with Zheng Changjun himself, the top decision-maker acting so childishly. Making me bring my team and accompany them for nothing...

No, he must report this to the higher-ups and make a formal complaint about them wasting police resources!

Zheng Changjun’s face turned serious again, "Director Zhou, we at Jiangzhou Police do not have such bureaucratism; we’ve always followed the principle of promoting those who are capable."

"Although Comrade Luo Fei is young, he has made remarkable achievements since joining the police force. His qualifications may not be old, but he’s much better than those who have been idling at their posts for decades."

"Alright then, I’m indeed curious about what Comrade Luo Fei has discovered today to earn such a high regard from you, Director Zheng."

"Naturally so... Luo Fei, since Director Zhou mentioned it, tell us all about your discoveries."

Zheng Changjun looked towards Luo Fei, feeling somewhat tense inside.

He’s already clashed with Zhou Zijie twice because of Luo Fei, and if Luo Fei doesn’t have any substantial findings, he would be embarrassed...

Not only him, but even everyone he brought might also be embarrassed.

He kept praying inwardly, Luo Fei, please don’t let me down...

Because the two highest-ranking officers were at odds, Luo Fei suddenly became the center of attention, with everyone’s eyes fixated on him.

By now, Luo Fei understood that the other party doubted his abilities because he was a newcomer.

How could he not show something to slap back at his face?

Although the other is a leader, he’s not a direct superior, so Luo Fei didn’t even look at him, directly turning to Zheng Changjun, saying, "Director Zheng, I just discovered something."

Speaking, he took out his phone and pulled up a photo, "This is a relatively clear frontal photo of the target I found from surveillance. We can try to compare it with the population registry to see if we can find his information."

This statement startled everyone present.
