Chapter 2049: Never Match Me

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Soon, the group arrived at the Xinshan precinct.

Lin Yi had already brought the suspects to the precinct, and everyone saw Bai Yongshou and w.a.n.g Shuguang.

“Young man, well done. We didn’t expect Bai Yongshou to be caught so quickly. Good job.”

“It wasn’t much. It’s all thanks to our leader’s brilliant planning. Honestly, I was just carrying out the task. Anyone could have done it.”

Hearing Lin Yi’s response, Liu Guangxian was delighted.

‘This kid really knows how to talk.’

“Alright, stop being so modest.” Liu Chunjiang patted Lin Yi on the shoulder with a smile and said,

“This operation was a success. We’ll be rewarding you later. Keep up the good work.”

“Thank you, sir.”

“Sir, does catching Bai Yongshou mean the crackdown operation is over?” Han Zhongyu asked.

“Do you have other suggestions?”

Han Zhongyu nodded and said,

“Actually, besides Bai Yongshou, there’s also someone named Wei Yihua in Zhonghai who has done many bad things in the past. I think we should take this opportunity to deal with him too, to give the people some peace.”

Liu Chunjiang thought for a few seconds, thinking that Han Zhongyu had a point.

“Then let’s add the task of arresting Wei Yihua to the agenda. No matter his current situation, bring him in for questioning. There might be some unexpected gains.” Liu Chunjiang looked at Han Zhongyu and said,

“Since you brought this up, I’ll leave the arrest of Wei Yihua to you.”

“Don’t worry, sir. We’ll capture him as soon as possible!”

“As long as you have the confidence.”

“Of course.”

Han Zhongyu stepped aside and introduced Ling Han.

“Little Ling, everyone’s here. Tell the leaders how many days it will take to capture Wei Yihua.”

“With my years of experience in criminal investigation, I’m confident that we can capture Wei Yihua within three days.”

“Since you’re all so confident, I have nothing more to say. Do your best.”

“Yes, sir!”

Seeing Liu Chunjiang agree to his suggestion, Han Zhongyu smiled with satisfaction.

Although arresting Wei Yihua wouldn’t bring as much credit as arresting Bai Yongshou, any accomplishment at this point was better than nothing.

“Are you sure you want to arrest Wei Yihua?” Lin Yi asked.

“Why? Do you have other ideas?” Liu Chunjiang asked.

“If you really want to catch Wei Yihua, it doesn’t have to be so complicated. I can just make a call.”

“Just make a call?”

Everyone was surprised, not understanding what Lin Yi meant.

Lin Yi didn’t explain much. He took out his phone and called Wei Yihua.

“Master Lin? Do you need something?”

“You know what you’ve done in the past, don’t you?”

On the other end of the line, Wei Yihua’s expression turned anxious.

“Has something happened?”

“Since you understand, I won’t waste words. You have one hour to surrender at the Xinshan precinct. If you cooperate, you might get a lighter sentence.” Lin Yi said,

“But if you drag your feet and make me come after you, things won’t be that simple.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll surrender right away.”

“Alright, I won’t say more. Just get here quickly.”

After hanging up, Lin Yi turned to Liu Chunjiang and said,

“Sir, the matter with Wei Yihua is settled. Is there anything else you need?”

The precinct fell silent as everyone stared at Lin Yi in disbelief.

He actually got Wei Yihua to surrender with just a phone call. How did he do it?

“N-no, nothing else…”

Liu Chunjiang was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.

“Now I finally understand what it means to be truly impressive.”

Then Liu Chunjiang turned his gaze to Han Zhongyu.

“I used to think Little Ling from your precinct was quite capable. Now it seems the Xinshan precinct has produced another excellent talent. You’ll have some compet.i.tion in the future.”

“Yes, yes.” Han Zhongyu forced a smile, though his face was dark with displeasure.

Ling Han, standing beside him, also had a cold expression.

However, unlike Han Zhongyu, there was a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth. She didn’t seem angry.

In reality, Lin Yi was the first person in years to make her feel even a little bit of pressure, which she found interesting.

“Old Liu, since both Bai Yongshou and Wei Yihua were captured by your team, I’ll leave the follow-up interrogation to you. See if you can trace it back to their suppliers.”

“Don’t worry, sir. We’ll handle it properly.”

“Good to hear.”

After checking the time, Liu Chunjiang said,

“I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll head out first. If you encounter any difficulties, just let me know, and I’ll help you sort them out.”

“Understood.”

One by one, the people began to leave, while Han Zhongyu and his team returned to their cars.

“d.a.m.n it, what’s with this guy? He got Wei Yihua to surrender with just a phone call. I’ve never seen anything like it,” Zhao Su fumed.

“Little Ling, this person is no ordinary guy. I suspect he’ll become your rival,” Han Zhongyu said.

“There’s only one spot for the city’s outstanding officer this year. No one challenged you before, but now he’s here. You’d better be careful—he’s a strong contender.”

“I already won that award last year. Whether I get it this year or not doesn’t matter,” Ling Han said nonchalantly.

“Besides, even though he captured Bai Yongshou and Wei Yihua, I don’t consider him a threat. He’s not on my level.”

“Haha, well said. Our boss is unbeatable, while that Lin Yi guy just got lucky capturing those two gang leaders. In terms of overall ability, he’s no match for our boss.”

Han Zhongyu said nothing, agreeing with Zhao Su’s a.s.sessment.

After all, he had mentored Ling Han himself, and he knew her abilities well. In all of Zhonghai, no one could surpa.s.s her.

Ling Han didn’t comment further, silently sitting in the car. Only she knew the true gap between Lin Yi and herself.

She had mastered the combat technique of exerting force in her dantian, which put her beyond the realm of ordinary people.

Because of this, no matter what, there would always be a gap between them.

Moreover, she had heard from her family that the Central Guards Brigade would start nationwide recruitment this year, and the opportunity she had long awaited was finally coming.

Therefore, this failure didn’t bother her since she would be leaving her current position soon anyway.

As for Lin Yi, whatever happened to him didn’t matter.

After all, they were not the same type of people and couldn’t be compared.

No matter what, he could never match her.
