Soon, the call was connected.

"Hello, this is ICAC. How can I help you?" came the voice of a staff member on the other end of the phone.

It's easy to tell from the voice that the staff member is female.

"Hello, I'm looking for Lu Zhilian from your ICAC!" Lin Zhengyi stated his purpose directly.

"I'm sorry, sir, we do not provide contact information for any of our staff here!" the staff member replied politely.

“Then tell Lu Zhilian that Lin Sir, whom he arrested last time, wants to see him and asks him to call me, is that alright?” Lin Zhengyi thought for a moment and then said.

"Okay then!" The staff member hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Normally speaking, they shouldn't be doing this kind of thing.

However, Lin Zhengyi refers to himself as "Lin Sir," meaning he is a police officer and also a member of an official agency, which is why the staff member agreed.

Later!

The staff member hung up the phone.

Then, we waited a while longer.

Lin Zhengyi's phone rang.

Chapter 177 Make a friend

"Hey, Inspector Lin, what can I do for you?"

As soon as the call connected, Lu Zhilian's voice rang out.

"I'll give you some credit, I wonder if you want it?" Lin Zhengyi asked with a smile.

"The credit? Of course I want it!" Lu Zhilian said without hesitation.

joke!

Who wouldn't want credit?

"Let's meet at the coffee shop near the ICAC entrance!" Lin Zhengyi said seriously.

"Row!"

Lu Zhilian agreed.

-

Coffee shop!

Lin Zhengyi ordered a coffee and waited while drinking it.

This time!

"Inspector Lin, it's great to see you again!" Lu Zhilian walked over with a smile.

"Yes, we meet again. Commander Lu, please have a seat!" Lin Zhengyi smiled and gestured for him to sit.

Lu Zhilian then sat down opposite him.

"Commander Lu, what would you like to drink? Order whatever you like, it's on me!" Lin Zhengyi said with a smile.

"Ok!"

After agreeing, Lu Zhilian turned to the waiter and said, "An iced Americano, please!"

"Yes!"

The waiter agreed.

Lu Zhilian then turned to Lin Zhengyi and said with a smile, "Inspector Lin just said he had some merit to give me. I wonder what it is?"

Without wasting any words, Lin Zhengyi took out the documents he had prepared earlier and handed them to Lu Zhilian.

"have a look!"

He gestured.

Lu Zhilian nodded, took the documents, and began to read them.

Soon!

He then read through all the materials.

Just then, the coffee arrived. After taking a sip, he asked calmly, "This is indeed a commendable achievement, but... is Lin Sir just going to give it to me like this?"

"Of course!"

Lin Zhengyi said seriously, "I want to be your friend!"

"make friends?"

Lu Zhilian smiled slightly, looking at Lin Zhengyi with a knowing gaze, and said, "Do you really just want to be friends with me?"

The underlying meaning of his words was, "Are there no other requirements?"

“Of course, I just want to make friends,” Lin Zhengyi said with a smile.

What Lin Zhengyi meant was that he really had no other requests.

"But you should know that even if we become friends, I won't let you off the hook just because you're my friend, or help you break the rules just because you're my friend!" Lu Zhilian said with a half-smile.

What he meant was that he didn't believe Lin Zhengyi had no other requests, and he told Lin Zhengyi that even if he accepted the favor brought by this information, he would not help Lin Zhengyi do anything illegal or irregular in the future.

"I know Commander Lu's personality, and I didn't want him to help me do anything against the rules!"

Lin Zhengyi nodded and said with a smile, "I just hope that if I encounter any problems in the future, Commander Lu can help me out as a friend, if it is reasonable."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I wonder if Commander Lu would be willing to be my friend?"

What he meant was that he knew Lu Zhilian wouldn't do anything illegal or against regulations; he just hoped that as a friend, if Lu Zhilian ever encountered any trouble, he could lend a hand within the bounds of the law.

"Since you've put it this way, of course I still consider you a friend!" Lu Zhilian said with a smile.

This time!

Lu Zhilian then asked curiously, "However, I'm very curious, how did Inspector Huang in this file offend you?"

“I saw him outside the ICAC last time!” Lin Zhengyi said meaningfully.

"Oh!"

In an instant, Lu Zhilian understood.

This means that Huang Ziyang was the one who reported Lin Zhengyi last time, so Lin Zhengyi wants revenge.

of course!

For Lu Zhilian, whether or not to retaliate is irrelevant as long as it is reasonable and compliant with regulations.

Although Lin Zhengyi's information was retaliatory, he could tell at a glance that it was definitely investigated by professionals. However, the evidence of illegality on it was real. Regardless of whether it was retaliation or not, and regardless of whether it was investigated by professionals, it was all reasonable and compliant.

That's enough for him!

"Alright, now that I've made a friend, I'm off to do something for him," Lu Zhilian said with a smile, waving the documents in his hand.

"Take care, Commander Lu!" Lin Zhengyi said solemnly.

"Um!"!

Lu Zhilian nodded, then picked up his coffee and drank it all in one gulp before leaving.

After watching him leave, Lin Zhengyi picked up his coffee, finished it in one gulp, and said, "Waiter, the bill!"

The words fell!

"Sir, your friend has already paid the bill!" the waiter said politely as he approached.

Listen!

Lin Zhengyi was taken aback at first, then laughed.

This Lu Zhilian is even more interesting than the movie character!

Later!

Lin Zhengyi then left.

-

Two days later!

It's Monday.

As usual, Huang Ziyang drove his own car to the police station for work.

But as soon as he entered the police station, he noticed that something was amiss.

Everyone who passed by instinctively focused their attention on him and avoided him. If they were walking together, they would talk about it among themselves as they went.

However, because he was too far away, he didn't hear what they were talking about.

"what happened?"

Huang Ziyang frowned involuntarily.

He felt that the atmosphere at the police station was strange and very wrong today.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

Filled with doubt, he quickly went to his team's office.

Upon entering the office, the first thing he saw was not his familiar team members, but a group of people in suits.

"Hello, ICAC officer Lu Zhilian. We received a report about Inspector Huang a couple of days ago. We hope Inspector Huang will come with us now!" Lu Zhilian said with a polite smile.

Upon hearing this, Huang Ziyang instantly understood why the others in the police station viewed him that way, and his heart skipped a beat, sensing something was wrong.

For those with nothing to hide, the ICAC doesn't have much of a deterrent effect, but for those with something to hide, it has a much stronger deterrent effect.

Unfortunately, he was the one with a guilty conscience.

He knew what he had done.

Although it's uncertain whether the ICAC came knocking because of what he did, he was unwilling to go with the ICAC because he had something to hide.

However, he was well aware that the ICAC was not a place he could simply refuse to go to; since they had summoned him, he had to go with them.
