In the name of supernatural powers

Chapter 99: One wave comes after another

With current medical technology, many diseases can only be treated in first-tier cities like Cangwu. Lu Zhao's mother suffers from frequent heart attacks, and she has survived many of them thanks to the advantage of living in Cangwu.

The medical resources of big cities are something that small places can never match.

Lu Xiaotong said, "So Grandma and my mom aren't coming back. I'm coming back by myself to take some pictures of our old house."

Lu Zhao refused, saying, "That won't do. You'll stay in Cangwu during the summer vacation."

Lu Xiaotong said, "I knew you would refuse, so I'm already at Fangshi Railway Station. Uncle Zhao, come pick me up quickly."

"..."

Lu Zhao sighed; he was already used to his niece's tendency to act first and inform others later.

His niece was extremely clever and full of clever ideas. Once, when he was a freshman in college, his mother suffered a heart attack and urgently needed money for treatment, but most of the Lu family's close relatives had become martyrs and they couldn't borrow any money.

Lu Xiaotong immediately thought of seeking help from the newspaper. As soon as the appeal was published, it received a large number of donations from kind-hearted people. Subsequently, the federal government also reduced the medical expenses by 80%.

This is an advantage, but the downside is that Lu Xiaotong is too clever and mischievous, making her impossible to control.

"Stay at the train station and don't wander around. Society is very unsafe these days. I'll send someone to pick you up."

After hanging up the phone, he initially thought of asking Liu Qiang to go, but then decided to call Lin Zhiyan instead.

Asking others for help is also a way to build closer relationships.

This is what Lu Zhao learned from other officers: being without desires and wants is a form of alienation from others, and a lack of social interaction can also make people feel uneasy.

Now, Lu Zhao delegates tasks that others can handle to his subordinates instead of doing them personally every time.

This would slightly reduce the quality of the work, but it would broaden the scope of Lu Zhao's control.

Everything requires learning and adaptation to local conditions; Lu Zhao is no longer a minor leader managing a company.

He needs to coordinate the work of the entire border post.

Lin Zhiyan answered the phone, her voice lazy and sweet as she said, "What kind of strong wind is this? It's rare for you to call me, senior."

As always, Lu Zhao got straight to the point: "Are you busy with work right now?"

Lin Zhiyan said, "I basically have no work. Those bandits have been mostly caught. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be leaving next month."

Lu Zhao said, "My niece just arrived at Fangshi Railway Station. I can't get away right now, so I'd like to ask you to pick her up."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Zhiyan jumped out of bed and asked to confirm, "You want me to go pick up your niece?"

"Yes, you're the only person I know in Fangchenggang. If it's inconvenient..."

Before Lu Zhao could finish speaking, Lin Zhiyan readily agreed: "Convenient, of course convenient, I'll go right now... cough cough cough I'm just bored, so I'll pick it up for you while I'm at it."

"Thank you."

Fangshi, administrative building.

Zhao De is currently dealing with the aftermath of the smuggling incident. This time, many department leaders have been suspended or arrested, and he needs to make temporary appointments for various positions until the county-level personnel department issues the official appointments.

This also gave him an opportunity to completely control the market.

Most of those department leaders weren't promoted by Zhao De.

This time, it can be considered a blessing in disguise.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Zhao De's expression immediately turned serious.

Third-tier superhumans possess a sixth sense, which can help them anticipate danger and effectively prevent them from being ambushed by firearms.

Some powerful Tier 3 transcendents possess a sixth sense that achieves a similar effect to range perception.

In lower-level transcendents, this is a characteristic of mental transcendents.

Zhao De couldn't sense anyone outside the door.

The door opened, and a white hat came into view, with the words "Supervisor" written on it.

The woman who walked in looked to be at least forty years old, wearing a black police uniform, with prominent nasolabial folds on her face. "Comrade Zhao De, hello, I am Ding Shoujin, the Chief Supervisor of the Department of Justice. I'm here today to question you."

A fourth-tier transcendent being, a first-level federal official.

Zhao De nearly suffered cardiac arrest.

No official is unafraid of the supervisors, especially high-ranking officials when they meet the head of the supervisory authorities.

Basically, it means one thing: going to jail.

Only when a sentence is imposed will the Federation send even higher-level superhumans to apprehend the perpetrator, in order to prevent high-level superhumans from resorting to desperate measures.

This process was kept completely secret; only Zhuge Liang knew about it.

For example, to oversee city enforcement, one would need to mobilize the Director-General of the Supervision Department.

Ding Shoujin noticed Zhao De's nervousness and reassured him, "Don't be nervous. I just happened to be here on a mission, and I only came to ask you questions as a side thing."

"Your problem isn't serious enough to require me to make a special trip."

Upon hearing this, Zhao De breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will definitely cooperate fully and tell you everything I know."

Ding Shoujin came alone, and his demeanor certainly didn't seem like he was there to arrest him.

"It would be best if you could cooperate."

Ding Shoujin entered the room, and Zhao De asked someone to move to the sofa. Before he could even ask someone to bring tea or water, a document was already slammed on the table.

Notice of Federal Rights and Obligations

"Sign it." Ding Shoujin placed the palm-sized recording device on the table. "Let's get through the process quickly, I have to meet someone later."

"Yes."

Zhao De picked up the pen and signed. The more casual the other party's attitude, the smaller the matter.

But if you can get the Director-General of the Supervisory Commission to come along, at the very least you'll be punished.

Otherwise, a phone call will suffice.

At the start of the questioning, Ding Shoujin asked Zhao De to report the abnormalities in the national highway transportation, which also indirectly informed him of the problem.

It's still a smuggling issue.

Zhao De sighed inwardly, but he was also somewhat prepared.

Because he didn't remove the evidence completely, Lu Zhao didn't kill Lü Jinshan, the tainted witness, and the evidence he uncovered has become irrefutable.

Now it's likely that someone caught him red-handed and reported him.

It couldn't be Chief Liu. If the other party was determined to get rid of me, I would definitely not be sitting here peacefully.

Ding Shoujin asked, "Some people have reported that you were aware of the unusually high traffic flow at the national highway crossing at night, and that you did not stop it in time."

Zhao De replied, "I have indeed heard some reports, but I have no concrete leads. The municipal enforcement agency mainly oversees the overall work, while the specific implementation is handled by subordinate departments."

Ding Shoujin said, "You mean to say that as the city's executive director, you have never convened a special meeting on the risks of smuggling?"

Zhao De continued to dodge the question: "We've held several logistics support meetings..."

"The deputy mayor mentioned in his report that you clearly stated in a meeting that we should not interfere with the trucks that run at night."

Before she could finish speaking, Ding Shoujin interrupted her, saying she didn't want to go through the proper procedures and ask questions slowly.

“We have obtained some meeting minutes and testimonies. Comrade Municipal Executive, you may not have been directly involved, but you can no longer completely shirk your supervisory responsibility.”

The deputy mayor reported him.

Zhao De immediately realized that there are no secrets that don't leak, it's just that Lu Zhao's level wasn't high enough to get in touch with him.

For example, the meeting minutes of the city over the years.
