Chapter 2048: Ineffective posturing vs effective posturing

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ling Han’s speech left the people from the Songjiang precinct buzzing with excitement.

In their view, with Ling Han personally leading the operation, capturing Bai Yongshou was only a matter of time!

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 momentarily at a loss for words, as he hadn’t prepared a detailed plan.

He hadn’t expected the meeting to be called so quickly.

After all, not everyone was as driven as Ling Han, who seemed 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 meeting had started, they found themselves overshadowed, which left them frustrated.

For some reason, Li Xianghui thought of Lin Yi.

If he were here, even without a plan, he could have come up with something on the spot to bluff his way through the meeting.

It was a pity that he, a slouch, would never attend such a meeting.

Han Zhongyu sat back in his chair with a smug look, feeling extremely pleased.

The rest of the Songjiang precinct felt the same way.

During the previous operation, due to a momentary oversight by Ling Han, the Xinshan precinct had managed to gain a bit of an advantage.

But this time, everything had been rectified, and they couldn’t help but feel satisfied.

Ring ring ring!

At that moment, Li Xianghui’s phone rang with a call from Lin Yi.

Since he was in a meeting, 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 meeting.”

“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 moment…”

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 remember him well. He’s called twice in a row; it might be something important. Go ahead and take the call.”

“Okay.”

Li Xianghui stood up and left the room to answer the phone.

Meanwhile, Han Zhongyu and the others remained unfazed, not particularly fond of Lin Yi.

They still remembered how he had defied them that day.

But at this point, those were minor issues not worth dwelling on.

“Let’s continue the meeting. 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 implemented, 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-cla.s.s and years of experience in arrests, she was confident in her abilities.

But now, a newcomer had taken all the credit, something 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 times and said,

“With my years of experience, I figured that capturing someone like Bai Yongshou wouldn’t work with conventional methods. So I sent Lin Yi as a wild card, hoping to catch him off guard.”

He paused before continuing.

“But when the meeting started, we hadn’t heard anything from Lin Yi yet. Plus, our plan was a bit unconventional, so I didn’t mention 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 leaders.h.i.+p 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 meeting. 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 some 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 extremely 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 embarra.s.sed ourselves this time. 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 something 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 name hasn’t come up in this operation yet. Once we get back, you should find a way to deal with Wei Yihua. We need to make some 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!”
