Chapter 160 Provincial Department Meeting
Wu Zheng ignored Zhao Yang, picked up the keys, and said to Yan Feng, "Damn, I hate these kinds of occasions the most. It's better to be a driver than to have to watch the boss's face."
After saying that, he didn't even glance at Zhao Yang and quickly walked out.
Zhao Yang's eyes widened as he pointed in the direction Wu Zheng had left, angrily saying, "Boss! He went too far! He insulted me yesterday and gave me the silent treatment today. Gu Zheng, that lunatic, should teach him a lesson!"
Yan Feng had no time to pay attention to his petty squabbles and focused on organizing recent work documents, reports, and case materials.
He still doesn't know why the provincial leaders suddenly came. In the past, they would give advance notice, but this time there was no warning at all. In case he needs to make full preparations in case he needs to give a sudden report.
Director Niu had a rough guess in his mind, which made him both happy and troubled.
The reason is that Danbei City's performance was too outstanding.
A few days ago, Niulanshan went to the Provincial Public Security Department for a meeting, where the higher authorities gave special praise to Danbei City. Not only has the case-solving rate repeatedly reached new highs, but the crime rate has also shown a precipitous drop, which means that Danbei City's crime-fighting actions are extremely fast and effective.
Director Fang Weiguo praised Niulanshan highly, saying he was a capable leader with a team of outstanding officers, a role model for everyone. He asked him to share his experience with other units on how to solve cases accurately and act swiftly.
The others looked at Niulanshan with excitement, picking up their pens to take notes. They genuinely wanted to learn; Danbei's achievements were so dazzling that they couldn't feel any envy, only admiration.
It's like the top student in your class. If they only score a few points higher than you, you'll definitely feel resentful and think you could do it too if you worked harder. But if they score hundreds of points higher than you and get perfect scores every time, you'll just want to admire them and have only one thought: how did they study?
Niulanshan was initially flattered to the point of ecstasy, but upon hearing this, it was immediately stunned.
How he shares it has absolutely nothing to do with himself, or even with the police station. Even an ordinary person could easily solve these major cases.
Lin Xi had already written down the answers; all you had to do was copy them.
But he can't just say in front of everyone that we have a prophet in Danbei, can he?
Seeing the eager looks in everyone's eyes, he felt he couldn't leave without saying something, so he started using official jargon and the same old rhetoric: maintaining close ties with the people at the grassroots level, emphasizing the use of incentive mechanisms, providing officers with both spiritual and material rewards, and deeply integrating technology with policing...
The initial excitement in the audience turned to disinterest, and many put down their pens. Some even yawned, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. Old Niu was afraid that they would learn from him and didn't say a word of the truth.
Director Fang was also very curious about how Danbei had done it; he was stunned when he saw the report.
Seeing Niu Lanshan laughing and not getting to the point, I interrupted him, saying, "Old Niu, everyone knows what you're saying and has been putting it into practice. Don't be so secretive. Tell me something real so we can all improve together. Don't worry, if it really works, the rewards will be plentiful."
These words were quite sincere. If Niulanshan didn't say something genuine, he wouldn't be able to save face. Not only would he upset the people in the audience, but he would also displease the director.
There is indeed competition among the various municipal bureaus, and it's normal for them to compare themselves to each other. However, when it comes to important matters, they always stick together and share any good methods they have.
After all, the fundamental duty of the police is to protect the people. As long as they can effectively combat illegal and criminal activities, all personal grudges can be put aside.
You, Niulanshan, are capable, but you keep it to yourself. This not only undermines the spirit of unity and cooperation within the police force, but also damages the foundation of trust and cooperation between police departments. Most importantly, you lack a sense of the big picture and do not put the people first.
Such a heavy burden was too much for Niulanshan to bear, and he finally said helplessly, "Everyone, to be honest, the reason why Danbei City is where it is today is not because of my Niulanshan leadership or the Danbei Police Station's greatness, but because of the help of a master. I can only say that without her, Danbei would never have achieved such results."
Fang Weiguo suddenly realized, "You hired a private investigator?"
Niu Lanshan shook his head. "She's still studying."
Fang Weiguo's eyes lit up. "Which police academy is he from?" Such a promising talent should definitely be nurtured.
Niu Lanshan shook his head again, "Not from the police academy."
Fang Weiguo was taken aback and asked again, "Are your family members in the police force?" It's possible that their parents raised them from a young age.
Seeing Niu Lanshan shake his head again, Fang Weiguo couldn't help but say, "Old Niu, stop shaking your head and just tell me, who is she?"
"Director, she's a bit special. Can I talk to you privately in a bit?"
Fang Weiguo immediately looked at the rest of the group and said, "Meeting adjourned!"
The others left with disappointed expressions. Seriously, they were just about to hear the important part when they were kicked out! Who is this person anyway?! If only we could invite them over…
After everyone had left, Fang Weiguo looked at Niulanshan expectantly, as if to say, "Tell me quickly! Tell me quickly!"
Niu Lanshan recounted the story in detail, portraying Lin Xi as a child prodigy with a talent for solving cases and some Taoist magic, while concealing her ability to foresee the future.
A person can be outstanding and remarkable, but not too extraordinary, otherwise some people will stop at nothing for their own benefit.
Despite Niulanshan's efforts to portray Lin Xi as ordinary, Fang Weiguo was still incredibly surprised. He never expected that she was a nine-year-old girl who... knew magic?
He has some understanding of Taoist culture, such as the Taoist Tai Chi, Baduanjin, and Wuqinxi, which are indeed good for health and he has practiced them quite a bit.
However, they never believe in Taoist formulas, talismans, feng shui calculations, or fortune telling; they consider them mere superstitions.
At this moment, he couldn't help but believe it. He knew Niulanshan's character; he wouldn't lie. Therefore, this little girl had to be protected. If criminals found out, who knew what they might do.
He said solemnly, "Old Niu, tell everyone that she is a genius with a great talent for solving cases, and the matter of magic must be kept secret."
Niu Lanshan was also satisfied with Fang Weiguo's words. Protecting Lin Xi was a consensus among them. "Don't worry, Director."
"Alas, it's a pity she's too young."
"By the way, does that mean she has an even more powerful Taoist master?"
Niu Lanshan could tell what he was up to just by looking at his eyes. “Director, this is just my guess. Capable people usually live in seclusion in the mountains and don’t like to be out in the world. I originally wanted to ask about this, but I was afraid of upsetting the young lady, so I didn’t say much. If her master really wanted to help, he would have shown up himself.”
Fang Weiguo nodded, having other plans in mind.
After Niu Lanshan left, Ma Zhaoqian appeared behind him like a ghost, patted him on the shoulder, and Niu Lanshan almost threw him over the shoulder. When he saw it was Ma Zhaoqian, he said speechlessly, "Why haven't you left yet?"
