But I didn't force it.
Lin Zhengyi was unwilling, and even if he was forced to come, if he didn't put in the effort in the end, he would still be the one who suffered the loss.
"If there's nothing else, Director Lin, I'll be taking my leave now!" Lin Zhengyi said, bidding farewell.
Now that both things have been said, there's no point in him staying any longer.
"Take care!" Lin Leimeng said with a smile.
To this!
Lin Zhengyi saluted him and then turned to leave.
But suddenly!
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a photograph on Raymond's desk, and the person in the photograph looked very familiar to him.
He paused in his steps!
"Wait, Director Lin, are the people on this the targets of your next mission?"
Lin Zhengyi pointed to the photo on the table and asked a question. Then, as if he had thought of something, he quickly added, "I know it's presumptuous of me to ask this question as an outsider. But I still have to say, if he really is your target, then you might need to be extra careful when you take action!"
"Oh?"
After a moment of surprise, Raymond narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
His words implied that he was acknowledging Lin Zhengyi's statement that the people in the photo were indeed their next target.
Chapter 8 Maximizing Benefits
Lin Zhengyi naturally understood the meaning behind Lin Leimeng's words, and immediately became serious, saying, "I have seen people in your police station communicate with the people in the photos."
"Who?" Lin Leimeng raised an eyebrow.
"Wen Jianren!"
After Lin Zhengyi said the name, he explained, "Just a few months ago, before I started working, I saw the person in the photo when I went to a restaurant for morning tea with my uncle."
"Because he had a very grand procession back then, I still remember him a little."
"Later, he went into a private room in the restaurant, and shortly after he entered the room, I saw Wen Jianren, Mr. Wen, also enter his private room!"
“However, at the time I didn’t know who he was. Even when I met Wen Jianren and recognized him later, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. But now that I’ve seen the photo and confirmed that he is your target, I feel there’s something wrong with this.”
He paused, then added, "Of course, I just feel there's a problem, but I'm not sure if there actually is!"
These words are, of course, false!
The reason Lin Zhengyi said this was because he recognized at a glance that the photo on Lin Leimeng's desk was none other than Zhu Tao, the major villain and drug lord in the police story.
Having seen the movie, he knew that Wen Jianren was Zhu Tao's undercover agent.
It was because Wen Jianren deliberately transferred the colleague in charge of blocking the road during the mission that Zhu Tao was able to escape the scene.
Although Chen Jiaju caught Zhu Tao on the bus later, because he did not catch him on the spot and there was not enough evidence, Zhu Tao's lawyer used this as an excuse to escape legal punishment.
Under these circumstances, he specifically pointed out Zhu Tao after seeing his photo.
Lin Zhengyi's goal was simple: to prevent Zhu Tao from escaping, to bring Zhu Tao to justice, and to gain the greatest benefit.
Yes, the greatest benefit!
In fact, as long as Lin Zhengyi determines the time when the Major Crimes Unit will arrest Zhu Tao, and then goes to the scene with them, keeps an eye on Wen Jianren, and seizes Zhu Tao when he releases him, he can gain the greatest credit.
But receiving the greatest credit never equates to receiving the greatest benefits.
Earning a major achievement could promote Lin Zhengyi from a probationary inspector to a full-fledged inspector, but it wouldn't be possible to advance any further.
In government positions, promotion requires not only merit but also seniority. Merit can overcome certain limitations, such as allowing someone to skip their probationary period.
However, it doesn't mean that having many merits will lead to unlimited promotions.
Given that he has only recently joined the company, no matter how much merit he has made, he can only be promoted one level at most, and it will take at least one or two years for him to be promoted again.
In reality, even without this achievement, according to regulations, he could have become a full-fledged inspector in a little over a year. If we include his contribution in helping the Yau Ma Tei Major Crimes Unit arrest two criminals, he estimated that it would only take a few more months.
Therefore, for Lin Zhengyi, directly arresting Zhu Tao, even though it would be a great achievement, would not actually bring him much reward; it would simply bring forward something that was already destined to happen by a few months.
However, revealing the matter to Raymond Lin is a different story.
If there was an undercover agent within the agency who led to Zhu Tao's escape, it would be a devastating blow to Lin Leimeng, who was young, energetic, and had great potential for advancement.
At the very least, he can't escape the stigma of being undisciplined.
With this title, it will take him at least a few years to rise further.
Normally, if one has enough connections, experience, merits, and so on over a few years, one can be promoted to the next level. In the police force, retirement can also be delayed after reaching a certain level.
Pulled around and moved the whole body.
Perhaps it was because he was a few years late that Lin Leimeng's entire career was affected.
But things changed once Lin Zhengyi pointed it out.
Even without evidence, Lin Leimeng would definitely take precautions. As long as he does, Zhu Tao won't be able to escape. If Zhu Tao doesn't escape, Lin Leimeng's career won't be affected, and he'll have to owe Lin Zhengyi a favor.
Given Lin Leimeng's age, he can work for at least another twenty years.
Over the past twenty years, whenever Lin Zhengyi was promoted or made a mistake, Lin Leimeng would lend a helping hand out of consideration for the past.
For Lin Zhengyi, this was far better than making a great contribution.
Lin Leimeng frowned deeply as he listened, and asked, "Are you sure Wen Jianren has been in contact with the person in the photo?"
"Confirmed!" Lin Zhengyi nodded.
Lin Leimeng's brows furrowed even deeper.
He was pondering how to deal with it!
Although there is currently no evidence to prove that Man Chien-jen is an undercover agent, Lam Cheng-yi is just a probationary inspector who is not even in their police station and has no competitive relationship with Man Chien-jen. Obviously, he would not make baseless accusations against Man Chien-jen.
Under these circumstances, there is a high probability that what Lin Zhengyi said is true.
If this is true, then they need to think carefully before they arrest Zhu Tao.
Otherwise, if Wen Jianren is indeed an undercover agent, it would be bad if he let Zhu Tao escape when they tried to arrest him.
"I"
Dong Biao, who was standing to the side, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Unlike Lin Zhengyi, who has only been with the company for a few months, he has been working in the Major Crimes Unit for almost ten years. It can be said that he built the current Yau Ma Tei Major Crimes Unit from scratch, and all the people in the unit were promoted by him and regarded as his children.
Wen Jianren is the same!
Therefore, he was inclined to protect her.
But if it were anything else, it wouldn't matter. However, the nature of being an undercover agent is extremely serious. Even if he wanted to protect someone, he couldn't say anything.
At this moment!
"I currently have no evidence to prove that Wen Jianren is an undercover agent!"
Looking at their expressions, Lin Zhengyi suggested, "But I think regardless of whether he's an undercover agent or not, it's always good to be on guard. We can make some arrangements for Wen Jianren's side to protect him from any eventuality!"
"In this way, it's certainly good that he's not involved, and he won't cause any major problems. Of course, this is just my suggestion; whether you accept it or not is up to you."
Lin Leimeng nodded and said, "Then let's do as you say."
He paused, then looked at Lin Zhengyi and said earnestly, "Whether it's true or not, I'm still indebted to you!"
Whether Wen Jianren was an undercover agent or not is not supported by evidence; it cannot be determined based solely on Lin Zhengyi's statement.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, it's always good to be on guard.
It would be good if things didn't turn out that way, but it would also help avoid major problems!
Lin Zhengyi was not his subordinate and had no relation to him, yet he was able to offer a reminder. Regardless of whether Lin Zhengyi was right or wrong, he had to acknowledge this favor.
Of course, while we may acknowledge it, there are two possible outcomes to this matter.
If it's wrong, then this relationship won't be of any use. It's impossible for Lin Leimeng to help Lin Zhengyi even if Lin Zhengyi gives him the wrong information, right?
That doesn't make sense in the world.
At most, we'll overlook the manpower and resources wasted by Lin Zhengyi's erroneous information, considering his good intentions!
However, if it's true, out of consideration for this relationship, he should lend a hand to Lin Zhengyi in the future, whether it's good or bad.
As Lin Zhengyi listened, a barely perceptible hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
What he wants is this.
-
quickly!
Lin Zhengyi and Dong Biao then left the director's office.
As soon as he came out, Lin Zhengyi noticed that Dong Biao next to him had a deep frown and his eyes were full of worry.
He saw right through Dong Biao's thoughts at a glance.
It was simply because he was afraid that Wen Jianren, whom he had personally trained, was actually an undercover agent.
Immediately, Lin Zhengyi comforted him, "Uncle Piao, don't overthink it. We're not sure yet. What if I'm wrong? Right?"
"Oh dear!"
Dong Biao opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he said nothing. The worry in his eyes remained.
He didn't believe that Lin Zhengyi, as a trainee inspector, would speak so casually.
Therefore, it is highly likely that the matter is true.
Seeing his expression, Lin Zhengyi knew that further persuasion would probably be useless, so he simply changed the subject, saying, "Alright, Uncle Piao, it's getting late. I'm going to get some food. Want to come along? It's on me!"
"No, you go ahead, I don't have much of an appetite!" Dong Biao waved his hand.
"Fine!"
Lin Zhengyi patted him on the shoulder but didn't try to persuade him further.
He knew that after what had happened, Dong Biao was unlikely to have any appetite, and there was no point in saying anything more.
