The aunt nodded and said, "Your mother was in Qingdao this time, and he went there too. I saw the two of them together, and your mother seemed quite happy. I inquired around, and this Mr. Liang is divorced, and custody of the child was awarded to his wife. They seem like a good match in every way. Xiaojie, what do you think about this?"

Xia Jie thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Liang has always been very good to me and my mom, but I knew he had a family before, so I didn't think about it that way. Auntie, as long as my mom is willing, I have no objection. It's a good thing that someone is taking care of my mom, isn't it?"

Auntie laughed: "That's why I came this time. Xiaojie, your mother has a lot of problems. It's all my fault for spoiling her since she was little."

"It's not easy to find someone who doesn't dislike her and even likes her. I find that guy surnamed Liang strange; with your mother's eccentric personality, what exactly does he like about her?"

"But they really like him. It's been so many years. In my opinion, this is someone I can't miss out on."

Xia Jie was equally puzzled!

The aunt continued, "The main problem is your mother. She clearly likes him, but she always puts on airs. When asked, she says that no one in the world can compare to your father."

Xiaojie, no matter how good your dad was, he's gone now. Besides, your mom is useless; she can't lift a basket or carry anything heavy. It's good enough that someone likes her.

Xia Jie nodded and said with emotion, "Auntie, it's a good thing you're my mom's older sister."

My aunt smiled wryly and said, "It's precisely because I'm her older sister that I dare to say this. This opportunity cannot be missed. Otherwise, your mother will have a hard time finding a suitable partner again, and she'll have to live alone for the rest of her life."

Xia Jie hesitated for a moment and said, "Auntie, I understand the reasoning, and I would definitely agree with doing this. I just don't know how to tell my mom about this."

My aunt smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged for your mother's happiness in the second half of her life. I have already privately told Mr. Liang that you and your daughter need to be taken care of, and asked him to visit you often."

“In the future, when your mother talks about him, you should subtly inquire about it, but don’t be too deliberate. Your mother is a virtuous and chaste woman. Once the truth is revealed, she can mend it with steel bars, and there’s nothing we can do about it.”

Xia Jie laughed: "Auntie, with your personality, I don't know how you managed to spoil my mom into having a sister like this."

Auntie waved her hand and said, "Hey, back then the whole family spoiled your mother like a princess, and she developed princess syndrome."

After chatting for a few more minutes, the two reached an agreement on the issue of Xia's mother, and the conversation came to an end.

After leaving the coffee shop, Li Mu also took a stroll around the neighborhood.

"Auntie, Xia Jie, are you done talking?"

The aunt smiled and looked Li Mu up and down a few more times.

"I'm done talking. I won't take up any more of your time. I have other things to do, so I won't see you off."

Li Mu said, "Goodbye, Auntie!"

"goodbye!"

Li Mu started the car, glanced at Xia Jie beside him with a slight blush on her face, smiled, and quickly disappeared into the street.

……

A few more days passed, and recently a number of electric bicycle thefts occurred in the jurisdiction, which had a very bad impact. Wang Shouyi handed the case over to Li Mu to take charge of, and also to train a few new people and accumulate experience.

In the small conference room, Li Mu was holding a meeting with everyone when he turned to look at Zhao Jiwei.

"How many electric bikes have been stolen recently? Is there a statistic?"

Zhao Jiwei said, "Brother Li, there have been eleven cars with police reports recently."

Li Mu sighed, "What era are we living in? You can find a job anywhere, why steal electric bikes? Not only do you not make much money, but if you get caught, you'll be sentenced. I really don't know what these people are thinking."

"Everyone, let's brainstorm and see if there's any good solution to this case?"

Zhao Jiwei sat up straight instantly, his face serious. "Brother Li, there's a main road under construction in front of the residential areas where the electric bikes were stolen, and the security cameras have all been removed. Once the suspects leave the residential areas after stealing the bikes, it will be very difficult to find them again."

"I think the most effective way is to contact the construction team to speed up the construction progress and get the road repaired as soon as possible. In addition, we should increase the number of surveillance cameras and security patrols in the community."

Zhao Jiwei's words made Li Dawei, Yang Shu, and Xia Jie burst into laughter.

Li Muyue smiled and turned to ask, "Li Dawei, what do you think?"

Li Dawei said, "Jiwei's method is quite good, but it's misplaced. This is an elevated road construction project; it won't be finished in less than a year. Hoping the project will be accelerated because of the stolen electric bikes is unrealistic. We need to consider other methods!"

Li Mu nodded: "With so many of us here, we can't let the thief lead us by the nose. Let's all think carefully about whether there are any other solutions that can solve the case as soon as possible and prevent electric bikes from being stolen."

The group frowned and began to ponder. Yang Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, but he hesitated to speak.

Li Mu said, "Yang Shu, you tell us!"

Yang Shu thought for a moment and said, "Director Li, I do have a somewhat immature idea, but it's missing one step."

Li Mu said, "Tell us, let everyone hear it!"

Yang Shudao said, "Aren't you all curious? Why don't shared bikes get stolen? Why can you find them anywhere?"

Li Dawei's eyes lit up: "You mean installing a GPS tracking system on electric bicycles!"

Yang Shu nodded and said, "Yes, that's a bit difficult. Shared bikes are installed by the company, while electric bikes are personal..."

Li Dawei suddenly said, "I have a solution! Electric bikes belong to individuals, but charging stations belong to companies. What if we build a bridge between the charging station companies and the GPS companies? People buy charging cards, and we give away GPS devices with their electric bikes! What do you think?"

Li Mu nodded: "Good idea. If it can be done this way, it would be a win-win situation. Electric bikes wouldn't be stolen anymore, and it would also solve the problem of illegally installed electrical wires. However, it wouldn't be easy to find a company like this, would it?"

Li Dawei stood up and spoke again: "Director Li, a classmate of mine works for a home-based charging station company. I talked to him about giving it a try. He's going crazy trying to meet his KPIs, so he'd definitely be willing to do it!"

Li Mu made the decision: "Okay, then this matter will be handled by you and Yang Shu, with Jiwei and Xia Jie assisting."

……

Two days later.

"Mr. Chen, it's settled then! I'll call the sales representative from the charging pile company over later, and you two can discuss the contract."

Li Dawei warmly shook hands with the GPS manager: "With your GPS, his charging cards will sell better. With his charging stations, your business will grow even faster."

Mr. Chen smiled and said, "We've done this in other cities too, and it worked very well. Thank you, I didn't expect the police to care about this."

Li Dawei said, "Isn't this all for the safety of electric vehicles? We're leaving."

Back in the car, Yang Shu sat in the passenger seat: "I never imagined you had this kind of connection."

Li Dawei, driving the car, said smugly, "Haven't you heard of that 'six theory'? Even if you want to meet Bill Gates, you can do so with no more than six people."

Yang Shu laughed: "That's called the six degrees of separation principle."

Li Dawei said, "Yes, six degrees of separation, he really is a PhD."

Yang Shu shook his head: "Li Dawei, you're a good person in every way, except you're too talkative."

Li Dawei laughed: "Envious, aren't you? That's talent! If I weren't a policeman, I'd be a comedian!"

The poplar tree was amused.

……

In Li Mu's office, Yang Shu came in to report: "Chief Li, installing GPS on the charging stations is fine. Li Dawei and I contacted the manufacturer, and they agreed. However, we need to go into the communities to promote it and get residents to buy charging cards and install GPS devices."

Li Mu said, "Is that so? Then let's give it a try. This time, the four of you newcomers will be in charge."

Yang Shu said, "Okay, Director Li!"

The next day, Li Dawei, Zhao Jiwei, Yang Shu, Xia Jie, and their group set up a table at the entrance of the residential area. On the table were a stack of user manuals, several demonstration charging cards, a GPS tracker, and a registration book.

Li Mu stood there, quietly watching how they carried out this task.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Yang Shu gritted his teeth, picked up a megaphone, and started shouting: "Two hundred yuan, charge for six months, that's only a little over one yuan a day... The important thing is, the manufacturer gives you a GPS tracker, so you'll never have to worry about your electric bike getting stolen again!"

However, the residents passing by assumed it was a street vendor and none of them stopped.

Only a little girl, about seven or eight years old, was eating ice cream while looking at Yang Shu, giggling and revealing two gap-toothed teeth. Yang Shu smiled awkwardly at the little girl.

Just then, an old woman came straight towards the poplar tree.

Yang Shu was overjoyed, thinking it was a good start. But then he saw the old woman leading the little girl away. The other residents did the same, passing by without even glancing at her, as if they hadn't heard a thing.

Yang Shu was a little dejected. Knowing is easy, but doing is hard. He thought he had come up with a good method, but he got stuck at the first step.

Chapter 378 Arrest

Yang Shu shouted into the loudspeaker for a while, and although a few people came to inquire, they all backed down when they heard that although the GPS positioning system could be installed for free, they needed to recharge a charging card worth 200 yuan.

Yang Shu and his companions were helpless. Looking at the passing residents and the curious onlookers, their morale sank lower and lower.

Li Mu smiled and shook his head, recalling the plot of the drama. He waved to Zhao Jiwei and gave him a few words of advice.

Zhao Jiwei glanced at Yang Shu, chuckled a few times, and then went to the group of middle-aged women watching nearby.

"Auntie, do you see that tall and handsome policeman? The one with the megaphone! He's a top student from Peking University, still single, and a key talent being groomed by our bureau. Do you have any suitable girls in your family that you could introduce to him?"

Several middle-aged women suddenly had their eyes light up. They looked Yang Shu up and down; he was fair-skinned, refined, handsome, tall, a top student from Peking University, and a civil servant—he seemed outstanding by all standards.

An elderly woman immediately couldn't stand still and walked towards the poplar tree. Many others followed suit when they saw this.

The older woman, who seemed to have seen Yang Shu before, immediately greeted him with a smile as soon as they arrived: "Young man, you haven't been in Balihe for long, have you? Actually, I've noticed you for a while now. You look like a learned person. You're handsome and kind-hearted too. My sister has a daughter who's a white-collar worker, very successful. I've heard that you don't have a girlfriend yet, do you?"

Yang Shu said awkwardly, "I...can we talk about a charging station instead..."

An older woman next to her laughed: "Still embarrassed! I've seen that girl before, she's very quiet."

The poplar tree was even more at a loss.

"Auntie, I..."

The older woman smiled and said, "I understand. I just heard you talking about how a lot of electric bikes have been getting stolen in our neighborhood lately. With this GPS tracking system installed, they can be found if they get lost, right? I heard that if you top up 200 yuan, you get the GPS tracking system for free."

Yang Shu nodded quickly: "Yes, Auntie!"

The woman suddenly took out two hundred yuan and placed it in front of him: "Xiao Yang, here, take this money, consider it my support for you."

Poplar was overwhelmed with gratitude: "That's wonderful! Thank you so much!"
