Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

Thinking of this, Gao Shan's smile faded slightly. He cleared his throat and spoke earnestly:

"Xiao Lin, your idea is good and you have the drive. However, when we handle cases, we need to prioritize and use strategy."

"Right now, our top priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of the victims. Rescuing them is the greatest victory! As for the pursuit of the fugitives..."

"That involves cross-regional and cross-provincial operations, which is not something our squadron can decide on its own. It needs to be reported to the Municipal Bureau for unified coordination and deployment. We cannot act on our own and disrupt the superiors' plans, understand?"

He tried to pat Lin Yutang on the shoulder, but Lin Yutang took a step back to avoid it.

Seeing this, he didn't take it to heart: "Go and write today's on-site investigation report and rescue report first. Write them in detail. This is a crucial task. Don't worry, the credit will be yours, you won't miss it."

These words, while seemingly righteous, actually reveal a fear of trouble and a reluctance to take risks; the speaker only wants to reap the benefits.

Lin Yutang pursed her lips; of course she understood.

But she couldn't help but say, "But Captain Gao, if we don't chase after him now, Mo Yan will get away."

"Once he leaves the country, it will be difficult to catch him again, and given his personality, he will definitely retaliate, and there will definitely be more victims..."

Before she could finish speaking, the smile on Gao Shan's face vanished.

"Xiao Lin!" Gao Shan interrupted her abruptly, his brows furrowed and his voice becoming stern. "What kind of attitude is this? Do you think I, as the squad leader, don't know how to handle cases, or do you think the bureau leadership's instructions are wrong?"

"Wasn't I clear enough? Rescuing those trapped and protecting the lives of the people is our top priority!"

"Now that the person has been rescued, instead of focusing on comforting the victim and strengthening the chain of evidence, you're here lecturing me on how to solve a case?!"

He spoke louder and louder, starting to use his status and seniority to intimidate others:

"Cross-provincial manhunts require reporting to the municipal bureau and coordination with the provincial department. Do you think you can initiate it just by saying a few words?"

"Investigating cases requires evidence, not impulsive actions! You young people, stop thinking about making big moves and focus on doing your jobs well first!"

"I've already reported this matter to the bureau. The next steps will be decided by the bureau's party committee. Your task now is to write your report! Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, and don't meddle in things you shouldn't meddle in!"

He concluded by shouting, "If your recklessness alerts the enemy or causes further harm to the victim, can you bear the responsibility?!"

Inside the office, several veteran detectives frowned upon seeing this.

The other veteran detectives in the office couldn't stand it anymore, frowned, and stepped in to smooth things over:

"Alright, alright, Captain Gao, calm down. Xiao Lin is just eager to catch the criminals. It's a good thing that young people have drive..."

"Xiao Lin, Captain Gao is right. Cross-provincial pursuit of fugitives is not something a single squadron can decide on. Listen to Captain Gao first and write up the report..."

"You need to channel your energy in the right direction!" Gao Shan didn't buy it at all and retorted directly, "Without organization and discipline, that's just reckless action!"

The young police officer, Xiao Zhao, who had just been on duty with him, hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and whispering in his support, "Captain Gao, Sister Lin also wants to catch the criminal as soon as possible to prevent..."

"Xiao Zhao! Do you even have the right to speak?! You've only been a police officer for a few years, and you've already learned to take sides? I bet you want to learn how to write a self-criticism too?!" Gao Shan reprimanded him without any mercy.

Xiao Zhao's face immediately turned very ugly.

He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and clenched his fists, but ultimately he endured it.

After all, he had worked hard to get a government job, and he was still young with a promising future. Offending his superiors now wouldn't cost him his job, but it would basically end his career.

He lowered his head, his heart filled with apology and helplessness.

Lin Yutang was not intimidated at all. If she were so easily subdued, she wouldn't have tried to escape time and time again when she was imprisoned.

Meeting the mountain's gaze, she spoke with equal unwavering ruthlessness:

"Captain Gao, when it comes to rescuing people, you're always the first to step in and report. But when it comes to tracking down suspects, you stay in the back, using procedures as a shield. Don't you feel uncomfortable wearing this police uniform?"

The office fell silent instantly. Everyone gasped, their eyes fixed on Gao Shan.

"You're outrageous! You have no respect for your superiors! You're lawless!" Gao Shan slammed his hand hard on the table.

He never expected that such a lowly police officer would dare to say such things about him in public!

Gao Shan pointed at Lin Yutang and immediately exploded: "Lin Yutang, I am now officially informing you that, effective today, you are suspended from duty for self-reflection! Immediately hand over your police ID, service weapon, and all police equipment!"

"Then go back and write a self-criticism, deeply reflecting on your erroneous thoughts and disorganized, undisciplined behavior! You can come back to work when you've thought things through and realized your mistakes!"

Suspended from duty for self-reflection!

The veteran detectives exchanged glances, wanting to offer some advice, but seeing Gao Shan's furious expression, they dared not speak.

Lin Yutang was very disappointed. She took a deep breath and was too lazy to argue.

He swiftly and decisively placed his equipment and police ID on the table next to him.

Then he turned around and walked towards the locker room.

A few minutes later, she changed out of her crisp police uniform, put on her civilian clothes, and walked out of the branch office through the main entrance.

In the office, Gao Shan still maintained the expression of being furious after being contradicted by his subordinate, his chest heaving and his face turning ashen.

But deep down, a sense of smugness was bubbling up inside.

Taking advantage of his righteous and stern outburst, he took the opportunity to suspend Lin Yutang, the true hero, from his post for self-reflection.

That's a brilliant move!

Firstly, it would allow her to stay at home, reducing her chances of appearing in the bureau, especially in front of the leaders.

Secondly, it completely eliminates the possibility of her making a fuss about investigating Mo Yan and causing trouble for herself.

In this way, the credit for "finding the mastermind behind the Mo Yan Manor and successfully rescuing the imprisoned women" truly fell into Gao Shan's pocket.

He wrote the report, he gave the presentation, and he was the one praised by the leaders.

As for Lin Yutang?

He's just a lucky little police officer; he has no connections or background.

Once this storm has passed, find an opportunity to report the situation to the leadership, saying that she is "young and impetuous, insubordinate, and needs grassroots training."

Find some excuse to transfer her back to some remote police station as a clerk in the household registration department, or simply have her work in the archives organizing files. That would be the end of the matter.

A nobody like him, trying to steal credit from a veteran detective? Dream on.

Lin Yutang stood at the entrance of the branch office, the night wind ruffling her hair.

She took several deep breaths of the cool air before forcibly pushing back the tears welling up in her eyes.

She looked up and around.

It's so late, the subway has long since stopped running, and the buses have stopped running altogether.

On the deserted streets, only one or two private cars occasionally speed by.

She had no choice but to take a taxi, but the thought of it made her a little scared.

At night, in a stranger's car, in a confined space, there were only the driver and her...

This reminded her of the days when she had tried to escape but was captured by Trish's men, often late at night, and the drivers were strangers...

She took out her phone; the time showed that it would be midnight in half an hour.

She hesitated for a long time before deciding to send a message to Lu Jingxiu.

But... she felt that she had already caused Lu Jingxiu a lot of trouble.

He pulled her out of that hell, gave her a new identity and a new life, and even helped her get into the police station.

And what happened? Not only did she fail to achieve anything worthwhile to repay him, but she was also suspended for talking back to her boss and ended up like a homeless stray cat, standing in front of the police station in the middle of the night, too afraid to even take a taxi.

She felt embarrassed by her disheveled appearance.

If she bothers him again over such trivial matters, won't he find it annoying? Won't he think of her as a burden who only causes trouble?

After all, someone like him must hate being depended on or taken from, right?

Moreover, I've even dragged the other person into a huge debt.

Lin Yutang didn't know how long she had been standing in front of the police station.

In the end, she forced herself to open the chat box with Lu Jingxiu with her fingers, which were a little stiff from the cold.

Lin Yutang: Are you asleep?

Almost simultaneously, she quickly added two more, as if afraid she would regret it, or perhaps afraid the other person would think she was being unreasonable:

Lin Yutang: I'm at the entrance of the branch office.

Lin Yutang: I can't get a taxi here.

After sending it, she stared at the screen, her heart pounding, her palms sweating with nervousness.

A few seconds later, she bit her lip, as if summoning immense courage, and with trembling fingers, sent another message:

Lin Yutang: I'm a little scared.
