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

"So what if you want to steal it?" Lin Yutang looked up at him, a hint of a smile in her eyes. "I didn't investigate these things for any reward. I don't want a promotion or to be recognized as an advanced worker."

She blinked a little shyly: "I have this job, and I can sit in this office helping you investigate cases... all because of you. What credit do I have that I'm afraid you'll steal?"

She raised her head again, revealing a faint smile: "If these credits are of any use to you, then I'll share half of them with you every day, so that I can... repay you a little more."

Lu Jingxiu's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.

"Don't say that," he said, his face becoming serious.

"The information you found out really helped me a lot. How about this, let's call it even. From now on, we're friends, so let's not talk about repaying favors anymore."

After saying that, he gave himself a big thumbs up in his mind.

That was a beautiful move!

Settle things cleanly and let her let go of the psychological burden of being in debt. In this way, she won't owe him anything, and he won't owe her anything.

The perfect benefactor filter will naturally crumble, won't it?

Lin Yutang's eyelashes fluttered several times, and she froze.

She looked at Lu Jingxiu, but a flood of thoughts rushed into her mind in an instant.

His father was a high-ranking official, and he didn't need her help at all. Those days when he deliberately made her pay back the money and pretended to be stingy flashed by one after another.

Now, he's deliberately saying something like "the debt of gratitude is wiped clean."

It turns out that he had been doing one thing all along: he wanted her to know that she never owed him anything.

He was afraid that she would live too hard carrying the burden of debt repayment.

Thinking of this, her eyes immediately reddened.

How can there be such a person in this world?

They gave so much, yet they insist on saying they gave nothing at all. They saved someone's life, yet they insist on portraying themselves as selfless.

Lu Jingxiu, how can you be so kind?

She sniffed, suppressing the emotions welling up inside her, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, then... I won't pay it back... From now on, we're friends..."

Her voice was soft, with a slight nasal tone.

Lu Jingxiu breathed a sigh of relief.

See? The filter is broken now. From now on, we'll interact as equals, and no one will owe anyone anything. Perfect.

He relaxed completely, turned around, quickly changed his shoes, and took two steps toward the door: "Then you should get some rest. If there's anything I can help you with, I'll contact you."

Lin Yutang stood in the living room, smiling at him, her eyes still glistening with tears: "Okay, be careful on the road."

Lu Jingxiu waved his hand, opened the door, and left without looking back.

As he waited for the elevator in the corridor, he thought to himself with satisfaction, "This trip was worthwhile. I got the documents, and my illusions were shattered. It's a double blessing."

The elevator doors opened, he stepped inside, and pressed the button for the first floor.

She was already planning in her mind how to brag to Chu Jin tomorrow, saying that he had personally shattered the perfect benefactor filter.

Inside the apartment, Lin Yutang was still standing in the same spot.

She looked at the closed door, slowly raised her hand, pressed her reddened eyes, and then smiled softly.

"fool."

……

In the municipal bureau office, Lu Jingxiu stopped outside the door and knocked.

Hearing a deep "Come in" from inside, he pushed open the door and went in.

The office lights were still on, and Hong Zhan was sitting in front of the computer, his brows furrowed, staring at a pile of documents and case summaries on the screen.

Otherwise, how could he become the director of the municipal bureau? His enthusiasm for his work and his loyalty to the revolutionary cause are something that Lu Jingxiu couldn't match even if he burned all his brain cells.

Hong Zhan looked up and saw it was him; his brows furrowed even more deeply.

He leaned back in his chair, his face serious: "Young Master Lu, what news is there now?"

Lu Jingxiu stepped forward and handed over the folder in his hand: "Director Hong, these are some of the clues that Lin Yutang from the East Suburbs Branch found. The murderer may be related to the attack on the family compound last night. Please take a look."

Hong Zhan raised an eyebrow.

He took the folder and suddenly remembered that Lu Jingxiu had also given him a document about the An family before.

That information came entirely from hearsay and was completely unreliable.

But upon investigation, the accuracy rate was ridiculously high, comparable to the results of several days of their investigation.

For Hong Zhan, the family compound issue had reached the point where saving face could be put aside as long as things could be done.

As long as the information is reliable, it doesn't matter whether it comes from legitimate channels or whether this young master Lu pulled it out from some strange place.

He opened the folder, pulled out a few sheets of A4 paper, and began to examine them carefully.

The more I looked, the more furrowed my brow became.

"Lin Yutang?" He looked up, his tone uncertain. "The policewoman from the East Suburbs Branch... who was suspended?"

Lu Jingxiu nodded: "Yes, it's her."

Hong Zhan was silent for a few seconds, closed the document, and then asked, "Besides you and her, who else has seen this document?"

Lu Jingxiu said, "She said she hadn't even reported it yet, she just gave it to me directly."

"Very good," Hong Zhan nodded. "Young Master Lu, I will personally follow up on this information. All subsequent actions will no longer go through the branch office."

Hong Zhan pondered to himself.

The relationship between this policewoman named Lin Yutang and Lu Jingxiu is probably not ordinary.

Otherwise, why would someone hand over case information that hasn't even been reported to him?

Thinking of this, he added, "Could you ask her if she'd be willing to transfer to the Municipal Criminal Investigation Division and join my task force?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingxiu thought for a moment and realized that this would not work. If he were to pass on this message, his identity would be exposed.

What right does an ordinary citizen have to ask a policewoman, "Are you willing to be transferred?" on behalf of the city police chief?

He then considered Lin Yutang's personality; she would most likely not refuse such a normal job transfer.

Besides, working under Director Hong is better than working at the East Suburbs Branch. Didn't she get suspended by the East Suburbs Branch not long ago?

With that thought, he understood and smiled, "Director Hong, I understand what you mean. How to use and arrange the people is entirely up to you."

"If you think she's suitable, then she is. I'll ask her what she thinks later and make sure to pass on the message."

These words neither agreed on behalf of Lin Yutang nor made a decision for Hong Zhan; they simply meant: you make the arrangements, and I will follow.

Hong Zhan smiled after hearing this.

He looked at Lu Jingxiu with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Young Master Lu, alright, then I'll trouble you to pass on a message."

Having finished speaking, Lu Jingxiu didn't linger any longer: "Director Hong, I won't bother you any longer. Please continue with your work."

After saying that, he turned and left, then quietly closed the office door behind him.

A moment later, Hong Zhan leaned back in his chair and reopened the document.

He looked at those A4 sheets of paper and found it increasingly unbelievable.

The military region, provincial departments, and municipal bureaus possess significantly more and more professional technology, intelligence, and leads than Lin Yutang alone.

The results of it?

They investigated for two days, and apart from learning through interrogation that the other party's nickname was "Master Kun," they were still waiting for the rest of the information to be transmitted back through overseas channels.

This young police officer named Lin Yutang managed to piece together the general outline of the entire case in such a short time.

They even found out that An Xiaozhao, the granddaughter of the An family, had also been kidnapped by Master Kun.

It's worth noting that even the Bashi Public Security Bureau didn't know about this information.

Yet she managed to uncover something that the entire city's public security system had failed to find, using limited resources.

Without a doubt, he is a talented person!

Hong Zhan's expression grew increasingly grim.

He remembered that Lin Yutang had offended their squadron leader and was suspended from her post, so she must not get along with the branch bureau leaders either.

If they stay at the East Suburbs Branch, their path to advancement is basically blocked.

Who knows, one day when I'm not paying attention, this kind of talented person might be thrown into a police station by some blinded leader and forced to sit at the window.

Honestly, it's a waste to keep such talent at the grassroots level; they're only truly valuable when they're promoted.

Therefore, this person absolutely cannot stay in the branch office; he must be transferred to my side.

Do it as soon as you think of it.

Hong Zhan took out his phone and dialed Liu, the deputy director in charge of personnel work in the political department of the municipal bureau.

"Director Liu, this is Hong Zhan."

"There's something I need you to arrange. There's a police officer named Lin Yutang at the East Suburbs Branch. My task force is short-staffed, and we'd like to second him. The secondment period is three months. Could you issue a letter and send it to the East Suburbs Branch first thing tomorrow morning for them to sign?"

"Just follow the normal procedure for the secondment letter, and state 'needed for case investigation' as the reason. Fill in the contact information for the task force as the contact person, and let them handle the subsequent communication themselves."

"Yes, Lin Yutang, from the East Suburbs Branch. Check the files, you should be able to find it. Send the letter out before tomorrow morning, we urgently need someone here."

He paused, then added:

"Director Liu, let's not alarm the branch office's political work department for now. I've already coordinated things, so we can proceed with the formalities directly."

On the other end of the phone, Director Liu understood immediately.

Director Hong's call came suddenly, and his words were so decisive and efficient that they didn't seem to fit the word "borrowing" at all; it was more like he was snatching someone directly from the branch office.

So, this is undermining the East Suburbs Branch.

It seems that Xu Jie is really not well received by Director Hong lately.

However, Director Liu would not say a word of this aloud; he only kept it to himself.

The reason given for the three-month secondment was vague, and no specific case was mentioned. It was clearly Director Hong's own arrangement, and he didn't want too many people to know.

The sentence "Contact person: please fill in the project team's contact information" completely separates Lin Yutang's working relationship from the branch office.

Starting tomorrow, her direct contact will be the task force.

The task force reports directly to Hong Zhan, so even if Xu Jie wanted to find her, he wouldn't be able to find a way in a short time, because she was already considered a member of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

If Xu Jie wanted the other party to go back, he had no choice but to go to Hong Zhan.

After going through these points in his mind, Director Liu already had a plan in mind.

He remembered the name Lin Yutang; she was one of Director Hong's people.

That's enough to think about.

Director Liu replied crisply and decisively, "Understood, Director Hong! I'll arrange it immediately!"
