CHAPTER 206: CHAPTER 100 CAUGHT A BIG FISH (PLEASE SUBSCRIBE AND VOTE FOR MONTHLY TICKET)_2

"Alright then."

...

Just like that, when Luo Fei and the others returned with their people, Ning Shaobin was transferred to a Jiangzhou City police car without even entering the police department building.

After waiting for over ten minutes, Zhao Donglai and the others returned as well.

As the two teams reunited, Zheng Changjun also began to bid farewell to Zhou Zijie and the others.

"Director Zhou, it’s thanks to your cooperation that we were able to capture the two criminal suspects so quickly this time. I’d like to thank you here, and later could you also thank all the comrades here for me."

"Director Zheng, you’re too kind. It’s our duty."

"In any case, I will remember the efforts of the xz police, and I will truthfully report them. So there might be more work later, and I may need everyone’s help."

"Don’t worry, we will definitely cooperate unconditionally."

After exchanging some pleasantries, Zhou Zijie suddenly smiled and waved at Luo Fei, "Comrade Luo Fei, come here for a moment."

Luo Fei found his grin a bit baffling.

He hadn’t forgotten how this guy previously looked at him with disdain, so what was with the cheap smile now?

Filled with suspicion, Luo Fei followed him aside.

Zhou Zijie looked around to ensure no one could hear their conversation, then rubbed his hands hesitantly.

"Director Zhou, is there something you need?"

"Well... Comrade Luo Fei, I heard from Sun An that you’re from your county’s criminal investigation team?"

Given Luo Fei’s outstanding performance, the xz police were both curious and impressed by him, so on the way to arrest Ning Shaobin, Sun An couldn’t help but chat with him for a bit.

Through their conversations, they naturally learned about Luo Fei’s position in the county criminal investigation team.

But why was Zhou Zijie asking this? Could it be he thought it was against regulations so he wanted to make trouble?

Luo Fei was full of doubt and nodded slightly, "Yes."

Zhou Zijie, unaware of his thoughts, became very excited upon hearing this, "Would you be interested in working for our city’s criminal investigation team?"

"Comrade Luo Fei, someone as excellent as you would only be overlooked in the county criminal investigation team. It just so happens our xz police need talent like you. So, as long as you’re willing, I can immediately apply to have you transferred to our city’s criminal investigation team. What do you think?"

Luo Fei finally understood; this guy wasn’t looking to pick a fight but wanted to poach him.

Zhou Zijie indeed meant this.

Although he initially had a poor impression of Luo Fei, the afternoon was enough for him to realize Luo Fei’s excellence.

With his speed and ability in handling cases, anyone anywhere would vie for him.

So upon hearing from Sun An that he was just in the county’s criminal investigation team, Zhou Zijie had a hard time not thinking of poaching him.

If Jiangzhou police don’t cherish such a good talent, I can’t be blamed for my methods.

Thinking this, Zhou Zijie continued to persuade, "Furthermore, our principle is always to promote those capable, so joining us won’t leave you at a disadvantage. If you have no objections, I can make the call immediately!"

Although Jiangzhou and xz are miles apart, based on Luo Fei’s capabilities alone, he would go all out to bring him over!

Seeing Zhou Zijie already pulling out his phone, Luo Fei quickly spoke, "Director Zhou, thank you for your kind offer."

"But I’m very satisfied with my current position and don’t plan on making any changes for now. Plus, all my family is in Jiangzhou... so I can only decline your generous offer."

Despite the enticing promises, who can say what the reality would be when the time comes?

Besides, things were going well for him in Jiangzhou, and changing places would mean starting over—only a fool would choose that.

As for joining the city criminal investigation team, there’s no need to worry about that.

With the current attitude of Zheng Changjun towards him, Luo Fei didn’t think getting into the city criminal investigation team would be difficult; it was just a matter of time.

So no matter the aspect, there was no way he could agree to Zhou Zijie’s solicitation.

Zhou Zijie had anticipated he might refuse, but he hadn’t expected such a decisive rejection. Reluctant, he tried persuading a few more times, but Luo Fei never budged, leaving him no choice but to give up.

After this brief interaction, everyone set off on their way back.

On the way, Zheng Changjun and others were curious about what Zhou Zijie said to Luo Fei, so they naturally asked.

When Luo Fei revealed the reason, Zheng Changjun was furious, calling him a despicable villain!

He couldn’t believe how insidious the other party was.

Clearly, they were finding fault with Luo Fei earlier, but after discovering his capability, they shamelessly tried to poach him!

How could they have the nerve!

"Luo Fei, don’t believe his lies. If you want to join the city’s criminal investigation team, just tell me. Why would you need him to meddle?"

"Besides, I’m keeping you in the county team to give you more training. Once you accumulate more achievements, everyone will accept your transfer to the city. Understand?"

Worried that Luo Fei might agree to Zhou Zijie’s proposal, Zheng Changjun explained anxiously.

Wucheng also chimed in, "Director Zheng is right. Luo Fei, you’re doing great here, no need to move elsewhere."

Zhao Donglai didn’t comment, but his expression showed some anxiety.

After all, there’s a big difference between a city’s and a county’s criminal investigation team, so he couldn’t help but worry that Luo Fei might have thoughts...

Looking at them with expressions as if worried he’d leave, Luo Fei couldn’t help but find it amusing.

"Director Zheng, Director Wu, you don’t need to worry. I never planned on transferring to xz, so I refused him right away."

Compared to Zhou Zijie, he was certainly more inclined to trust Wucheng and Zheng Changjun, who had always supported him.

"You didn’t agree? Hahaha, great! Luo Fei, I knew I didn’t judge you wrong. Trust me, staying in Jiangzhou City will be far better than following Zhou Zijie!"

Zheng Changjun was overjoyed, immediately patting Luo Fei on the shoulder with promises.

Lucheng and Zhao Donglai weren’t too surprised, but Wang Yong, who was driving, listened with some envy.

He had long known that with Luo Fei’s abilities, he wouldn’t be stuck in their small county forever.

But hearing Zheng Changjun’s words, he realized how much attention Luo Fei was receiving from higher-ups.

However, with his capabilities, he deserved such treatment.

So aside from envy, he was genuinely happy for Luo Fei...

The rest of the journey was uneventful. Around eight o’clock, Wu Yan called Luo Fei again, wondering why he hadn’t returned home yet.

Luo Fei only then informed her about his business trip, leading to an unsurprising scolding.

After hanging up, he remembered to also send a message to Yang Mei to let her know he was safe.

Opening the chat interface, afraid to disturb him during his mission, their conversation hadn’t moved since ten a.m.

Yang Mei’s last message was a reminder for him to be careful, to pay attention to safety.

Luo Fei quickly typed a message, "What are you up to? Haven’t gone to rest yet?"

Yang Mei replied instantly, "I’m on duty. Are you guys done, Luo Fei?"

"How did it go today? Any progress?"

"Today was fruitful, and we’re on our way back now, probably reaching by tomorrow morning at the latest."

"What, you guys are on your way back? What about the suspects..."

"The main gang leaders, the uncle and the boss, have been captured. I’ll tell you the details when I return."

"Alright, stay safe on the road."

Knowing he must be tired, Yang Mei sensibly didn’t ask further.

After putting down her phone, she couldn’t hide the smile at her lips.

Seeing this, Wu Xiaoyue couldn’t help but approach her, "Sister Yang Mei, why so happy all of a sudden? Did Luo Fei and the others make some new progress?"

"Yes, they’ve caught the suspects and are on their way back now."

"What, so soon?" Wu Xiaoyue exclaimed, her face full of shock.

She had thought they’d stay over there for several days at least.

Yang Mei nodded, then heard Wu Xiaoyue suddenly chuckle, "But this is good! At least Sister Yang Mei, you won’t have to hold onto your phone every day, yearning."

"You cheeky girl, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"Haha, isn’t it true? Don’t think I didn’t notice; you’ve been lost in thoughts all day with your phone, just thinking about Luo Fei."

"Stop it!"
