The woman waved her hand: "It's just a little money, nothing. Leave me your phone number so I can introduce you two."

Yang Shu was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss. Zhao Jiwei quickly went over, found some paper, wrote down his phone number, and gave it to the old lady, who happily accepted it.

Then, another middle-aged woman came over, looked at Yang Shu carefully, and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, how come I didn't notice that Officer Yang is so handsome? If you don't like the one from before, my niece is very pretty, let me introduce you to her."

An older woman, both amused and exasperated, said, "How did this turn into a matchmaking session?"

Zhao Jiwei quickly exclaimed, "Great! That's killing two birds with one stone! You've all seen Officer Yang Shu, he's a graduate student from Peking University, a key talent being groomed by the bureau, tall, handsome, and still single—what a great young man!"

"Anyone still wanting a charging card, pay first, and here's Officer Yang's contact information!"

Zhao Jiwei's shout shocked the group of middle-aged women. They immediately started pointing and gesturing, while some stared at Yang Shuzai closely for a while before coming over to pay.

That's how people are; they have a herd mentality. Some things won't be done if no one else is doing them, but as long as someone takes the lead and it becomes a trend, many people will try it.

Seeing some older women going to apply for electricity cards and install GPS tracking systems, and with loudspeakers blaring about the benefits of doing so, a lot of young people passing by were immediately attracted, and they all gathered around to ask questions. Seeing that some people were getting their cards processed, many others also tried to inquire and apply.

Afterwards, the older women who had been there earlier saw that Yang Shu was still tirelessly promoting the product, and they actually became his advocates and helped promote it.

"This is really great. Once it's installed, the electric bike won't get stolen... You can see the location of the electric bike on your phone... The news about electric bikes catching fire due to illegally installed wiring is so scary. From now on, we'll charge our bikes properly, just like people in big cities!"

As more and more people gathered around, many began to try installing it, and the trend gradually took shape. Many young people who ride electric bikes understand the use of the charging card better than the elderly. With this, they can charge their bikes directly at charging stations throughout the city without having to illegally run extension cords or remove the battery from their homes.

The elderly might hesitate to spend that little money, while for younger people who dislike hassle, a charging card is clearly more convenient. Coupled with the recent spate of stolen electric vehicles, more and more people are opting for charging cards and installing free GPS tracking systems.

Suddenly, Yang Shu and the factory workers were all busy.

"Everyone, please be patient, one at a time! Please don't take pictures yet!"

……

After helping to promote the system in several nearby communities for several days, the results were remarkable, with more than half of the trolleybuses choosing to install the GPS positioning system.

The goal has finally been achieved.

Two days later, that afternoon, Li Mu was handling his work when Zhao Jiwei ran over excitedly.

"Brother Li, someone's tram has been stolen, and they've come to call the police."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Look how excited you are. Is the stolen electric bike one of those equipped with a GPS tracking system?"

Zhao Jiwei nodded quickly: "Brother Li, I can't hide anything from your discerning eyes. Our work over the past few days wasn't in vain; it's finally paid off."

Li Mu chuckled twice and said, "Let's go, let's go see the owner. So many electric bikes have been stolen lately, let's see if we can follow the clues and catch a big fish."

Zhao Jiwei said excitedly, "We definitely can. We'll wipe them out in one fell swoop."

The two arrived at the police station, where Li Dawei was also present. After a brief chat, Li Mu took the phone from the owner and began to examine it.

Zhao Jiwei said, "Brother Li, look, his tram is in this position now... and it has moved, it has moved more than a thousand meters since I saw it just now."

Li Mu said, "They're moving stolen goods. We can't delay, we need to dispatch the police immediately."

Then he ordered, "Zhao Jiwei, Li Dawei, Yang Shu, you guys follow me."

The group replied in unison, "Yes!"

Li Mu then looked at Xia Jie: "Comrade Xia Jie, I don't have time for this. You should report this matter to the station chief, gather the police officers and auxiliary police, prepare the bus, and be ready to take action at any time."

Xia Jie's expression turned serious as she replied, "Yes!"

……

Seven or eight minutes later,

Li Dawei drove his car, following the GPS location for a while. As he got closer and closer, the owner called out, "My car! It's over there!"

Li Mu looked out and saw a man in his thirties leisurely riding an electric bike down the street.

"Is that the suspect?"

The owner nodded vigorously: "It's mine. I just bought my electric scooter not long ago. I don't know how they targeted it. You must catch him!"

Li Mu said, "Don't panic, things should be done slowly."

The owner was a little anxious: "Hurry up, what if we lose it?"

Li Mu said, "You already have GPS in your car, what are you afraid of? He stole a car from so far away, he probably didn't do it to ride himself, right? Let's follow him and see where he sells it. Only by catching this whole gang can we solve the problem at its root."

And so, the thieves rode ahead, while they followed calmly behind. On the way, Li Mu called Wang Shouyi again and briefly explained the situation, since catching them all in one fell swoop would require a significant amount of police manpower.

After discussion, it was decided that two buses would be dispatched, with a dozen police officers and twenty-odd auxiliary police officers working together to ensure that no one could escape.

And so, the group followed the tram all the way to an electric vehicle repair shop in the outskirts of the city.

Upon arriving at the location, Li Mu saw the man standing at the entrance, talking to someone who appeared to be the owner.

The boss looked around, then at the electric scooter, and the two of them pushed the scooter inside.

Li Mu drove around the repair shop, observing the terrain and identifying any oversights or easy escape routes.

Just then, the more than thirty reinforcements arrived by bus.

Seeing that the time and conditions were ripe, Li Mu gave instructions over the walkie-talkie, waved, and got out of the car.

"Everyone get off the bus, let's move out!"

At this moment, the man from before came out with a happy face, counting money in his hand. Several people went up to him, pinned him to the ground, and swiftly tied his hands behind his back.

The man screamed like a pig being slaughtered. The boss heard the scream, ran out to see what was happening, and then saw Li Mu and his group. Shocked, he opened his mouth wide and was about to close the door.

Li Mu quickly tackled him to the ground again, and by then the police officers and auxiliary police officers who had come to his aid had arrived.

"Keep an eye on them." After handing the two men over to several auxiliary police officers, Li Mu kicked open the door and led his men back inside.

The group arrived at the backyard, where, apart from a few scattered workers, there were dozens of electric vehicles neatly arranged. A cargo truck was parked there, and several people were loading the electric vehicles onto the truck.

They probably knew they were doing something illegal, and when they saw a group of police officers arrive, they immediately ran away with their tails between their legs. After all, it wasn't a big case, and they weren't going to risk their lives for such a small thing.

Li Mu smiled. He had already arranged for people to guard all the exits. The repair shop was completely surrounded by him. Not even a chicken could escape, let alone a person.

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Arrest them all and take them back to the station."

A group of police officers immediately rushed into the factory, searching and arresting people everywhere.

The operation went smoothly, and the entire gang that stole and resold electric bikes was arrested. Faced with overwhelming evidence, they had no choice but to confess.

Based on these statements, Li Mu contacted other police stations and launched arrest operations. Thieves who were active in other jurisdictions, supplying electric vehicles to factories, were also apprehended through the investigation.

The detention center was overcrowded again, with nearly twenty people being held there for interrogation.

However, although it was a bit busy, everyone in the station was very happy. This large gang that stole, refurbished, and sold electric vehicles not only operated within this jurisdiction, but its activities covered most of the city, and had a significant impact.

After the case was solved, the police not only received praise from the bureau, but also received special thanks from many other police stations. These stations had also been experiencing frequent electric bike thefts in their areas, which had remained unsolved for years, resulting in numerous complaints from the public. Now, the culprit has finally been apprehended.

Wang Shouyi returned from the bureau with a beaming smile.

"Li Mu, well done! This time the bureau specifically praised our police station! You solved a simple electric bike theft case, but you turned it into such a big case. Many people are extremely envious. Old Li, I've attended so many meetings, but this is the first time I've felt so comfortable!"

Li Mu laughed and said, "This is not my achievement alone. Yang Shu, Zhao Jiwei, Li Dawei, Xia Jie... all made great contributions. Especially Yang Shu, he was the one who proposed installing the GPS positioning system."

“Li Dawei also made a great contribution. Without his efforts to connect and facilitate, the matter would not have been resolved.”

Wang Shouyi exclaimed, "They're all good, very good, all promising talents."

“In the past, I was a little worried that the police officers assigned to us might not be very good, but I didn’t expect them to be so good.”

Over the next few days, nearly a hundred electric vehicles were seized from the factory and all were brought back by hired vehicles. To show their encouragement to Li Dawei and his colleagues, each of them would bring several auxiliary police officers to escort the electric vehicles back to their residential communities, where they received an unprecedented welcome.

And just like that, another period of time passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Xia Jie went home after get off work.

"Mom, I'm back."

Xia's mother came out, looking very excited: "Xiao Jie, do you know? Your aunt is going to Dali for vacation, and she's asking me to go with her. Should I call the bureau office..."

Xia Jie's face darkened: "Mom, why are you calling the bureau office when you're going to Dali for vacation? If we want to go, we can go."

Xia's mother said, "When your father died, the bureau made a promise..."

Xia Jie was speechless: "Mom, it's been ten years, stop bothering the bureau. If you want to go to Dali, I'll make the arrangements. We can just rent a place instead of a hotel."

Xia's mother hesitated: "But rent is very expensive in Dali."

Xia Jie said, "Mom, your daughter is earning money now. Our combined salaries aren't even enough for you to stay in Dali for a month or two, right? Don't worry."

As night deepened, Xia Jie checked rent information on her computer. The more she checked, the more her brows furrowed, and she muttered to herself, "10,000... 13,000... 15,000... Is this insane?"

The phone rang. Xia Jie saw the number and answered quickly: "Auntie, my mom said she's going to Dali for a trip."

Auntie said, "Yes, I invited him. Your Uncle Liang just happened to be here too, which makes it easier to create opportunities."

Xia Jie said, "Oh, I see. Then I'll definitely send my mom. But are things expensive there? I'm looking around, and they're so pricey. Around here, even a one-bedroom apartment costs over 1."

Auntie said, "The location is great, right by Erhai Lake. Xiaojie, how about I help you..."

Xia Jie quickly interrupted her, "No, no, Auntie, you've already gone to so much trouble. I can afford the rent. I'll rent it for her today."

“My mother’s going there will cause you trouble again. As for my mother and Uncle Liang’s matter, you can create opportunities for them, but please don’t rush my mother. My mother sometimes doesn’t think things through, and I’m afraid that if she’s pressured by others, she might make an impulsive decision and regret it later.”

Auntie's voice was full of emotion: "Xiaojie, people who know her would think you're her mother, but people who don't would think you're her mother. My sister has caused you so much trouble."

Xia Jie said, "Auntie, what are you saying? My mom is the one who's causing you so much trouble. Auntie, I'm leaving my mom with you now. I'll place the order right away. Goodbye, Auntie."

After hanging up the phone, I hesitated again and again looking at the house price, but gritted my teeth and placed an order: "10,000 it is."

Everything was ready. Early in the morning, Xia Jie put two large bags in the trunk of the car, and Xia's mother came out of the building carrying a small bag.
