Chapter 2048: Ineffective posturing vs effective posturing
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ling Han’s speech left the people from the Songjiang precinct buzzing with excitent.
In their view, with Ling Han personally leading the operation, capturing Bai Yongshou was only a matter of ti!
The people from the Xinshan precinct had no chance of stealing the credit.
Liu Chunjiang, seated at the head of the table, nodded in satisfaction before turning to Liu Guangxian.
“Old Liu, what’s your side’s plan? Let’s hear it.”
“Well…”
Liu Guangxian was montarily at a loss for words, as he hadn’t prepared a detailed plan.
He hadn’t expected the eting to be called so quickly.
After all, not everyone was as driven as Ling Han, who seed to be constantly energized and focused on work.
“We are actively working on the follow-up actions. I believe it won’t be long before we capture Bai Yongshou. We won’t let him escape justice!”
Liu Chunjiang’s expression darkened. “You might as well just admit you didn’t prepare!”
The people from Xinshan precinct remained silent.
They truly hadn’t prepared anything.
Now, that the eting had started, they found themselves overshadowed, which left them frustrated.
For so reason, Li Xianghui thought of Lin Yi.
If he were here, even without a plan, he could have co up with sothing on the spot to bluff his way through the eting.
It was a pity that he, a slouch, would never attend such a eting.
Han Zhongyu sat back in his chair with a smug look, feeling extrely pleased.
The rest of the Songjiang precinct felt the sa way.
During the previous operation, due to a montary oversight by Ling Han, the Xinshan precinct had managed to gain a bit of an advantage.
But this ti, everything had been rectified, and they couldn’t help but feel satisfied.
Ring ring ring!
At that mont, Li Xianghui’s phone rang with a call from Lin Yi.
Since he was in a eting, Li Xianghui declined the call.
“Was that a call from Lin Yi?” Liu Guangxian asked.
Li Xianghui nodded. “I’ll call him back after the eting.”
“Alright, we’ll discuss it then.”
Ring ring ring!
Just a few seconds later, the phone rang again. It was Lin Yi calling once more.
“Wait a mont…”
Liu Chunjiang said as Li Xianghui was about to decline the call again.
“The Lin Yi you’re talking about, is he the young man who went into Qianjiang Bathhouse to carry out the mission that day?”
“Yes, that’s him.”
“I rember him well. He’s called twice in a row; it might be sothing important. Go ahead and take the call.”
“Okay.”
Li Xianghui stood up and left the room to answer the phone.
anwhile, Han Zhongyu and the others remained unfazed, not particularly fond of Lin Yi.
They still rembered how he had defied them that day.
But at this point, those were minor issues not worth dwelling on.
“Let’s continue the eting. I’ll outline the next steps for the capture operation… click…”
Liu Chunjiang hadn’t finished speaking when the conference room door burst open, and Li Xianghui rushed in excitedly.
“Sir, Bai Yongshou has been captured!”
“What?”
Everyone in the conference room froze, feeling as though they had misheard.
Just a day ago, they had conducted an operation to capture Bai Yongshou, only for him to escape. And now, he had been caught?
“Did you say Bai Yongshou has been captured?” Liu Chunjiang asked, visibly excited.
“Yes, after fleeing, he hid in Yaojia Village on the border of Zhonghai and Yuhang, where Lin Yi apprehended him. He’s on his way back to the Xinshan precinct now.”
Hearing this, both Han Zhongyu and Ling Han’s faces turned pale with shock, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Their own plans hadn’t even been fully implented, and the Xinshan precinct’s operation was already complete!
They couldn’t accept this turn of events.
Ling Han, who had always been arrogant, couldn’t bear the thought of being outdone like this!
With her personal strength at E-class and years of experience in arrests, she was confident in her abilities.
But now, a newcor had taken all the credit, sothing she found totally unacceptable.
“Old Liu, what’s going on?” Liu Chunjiang asked.
“Didn’t you say you didn’t have any plans prepared?”
Recovering from the surprise, Liu Guangxian coughed a few tis and said,
“With my years of experience, I figured that capturing soone like Bai Yongshou wouldn’t work with conventional thods. So I sent Lin Yi as a wild card, hoping to catch him off guard.”
He paused before continuing.
“But when the eting started, we hadn’t heard anything from Lin Yi yet. Plus, our plan was a bit unconventional, so I didn’t ntion it.”
Standing by, Li Xianghui couldn’t help but admire Liu Guangxian.
With abilities like this, it was no wonder he had risen to a leadership position.
‘I can’t even bluff like that. No wonder I’m still just a normal officer.’
“You’ve really kept us in the dark. Well done,” Liu Chunjiang said, standing up.
“Since the target has been captured, there’s no need to continue this eting. Let’s head over to the Xinshan precinct.”
“That works,” Liu Guangxian replied with a cheerful smile.
With that, everyone got up, ready to head to the Xinshan precinct.
“Old Han, I’m sorry, but we caught the guy,” Liu Guangxian said.
“But don’t worry, you’ll still get so credit for this operation. I won’t take it all for myself.”
“Quit trying to score points,” Han Zhongyu replied coolly.
It was clear that he was extrely displeased, though he couldn’t find the right words to express it.
Ling Han, standing nearby, was equally upset but also curious about how Lin Yi had managed to catch Bai Yongshou.
Then, they the conference room and got into their respective cars.
“Director Han, we’ve really embarrassed ourselves this ti. Xinshan precinct stole the show.”
Sitting in the car, Zhao Su said indignantly,
“When word gets out, we’re going to be a laughingstock.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it. We’ll just have to learn from this and avoid repeating the mistake.”
“Now we know better.”
“Don’t be so downhearted. Even though we didn’t catch Bai Yongshou, there are still ways to make an impact. We need to do sothing in this operation.”
Ling Han and Zhao Su exchanged glances.
“Director Han, do you have another plan?” Ling Han asked.
“There’s still Wei Yihua in Zhonghai,” Han Zhongyu said.
“His na hasn’t co up in this operation yet. Once we get back, you should find a way to deal with Wei Yihua. We need to make so gains in this operation.”
Han Zhongyu lit a cigarette, deep in thought.
“But he’s already cleaned up his act. Even if we catch him, it won’t be like dealing with Bai Yongshou,” Zhao Su pointed out.
“I know, but we’re in a tough spot right now. It’s the only option we have.”
“Understood!”
