Xiao Yu turned around and instructed the Earth Ghost. After saying that, he sat cross-legged as his soul left his body again. With the abilities of his physical form alone, it was insufficient to ope...Chapter 464: Police Station Turmoil (2)

In no time, Li Changtian's secretary came out. Behind him was a middle-aged man in his fifties who was reporting work to Li Changtian. After the secretary entered, he whispered something in Li Changtian's ear. Li Changtian stopped the report and told the man to wait outside for a moment.

"Director Bai, please come in! Minister Li is waiting for you in his office!" said Li Changtian's secretary as he addressed Bai Jing standing at the door.

The middle-aged man followed Li Changtian's secretary out and saw him speaking to a woman with great caution. This made him pause momentarily, wondering who this woman was that could make Minister Li dismiss someone in such a manner.

He had heard of Bai Jing but never met her personally. He also assumed she didn't know what was happening because she must have some connection to climb onto the high branches. Otherwise, how could an officer who hadn't been promoted for over ten years suddenly jump two ranks and take charge of a lucrative department

If Bai Jing had real connections, she would've been promoted long ago. So upon hearing about her situation, he merely smiled without taking it seriously and thus didn't know Bai Jing.

After hearing Li Changtian's secretary speak to her, Bai Jing thanked him repeatedly, straightened her clothes, and walked towards Li Changtian's office. Once she entered the room, Li Changtian's secretary returned to his desk and started writing with a pen.

The man sat down on one of the sofas nearby after he left, realizing from overhearing people’s conversations that the woman who just went in was Bai Jing. This immediately dispelled any previous assumptions he had about her; someone treated this way by Li Changtian couldn't be what he imagined.

"Hello, Minister Li!" said Bai Jing as she bowed slightly to Li Changtian upon entering his office.

“Director Bai, you're here! Didn’t I tell you that there’s no need to be so formal when visiting me Come, sit down!” Upon hearing Bai Jing's greeting, Li Changtian quickly rose from his seat and walked over to her side.

"Is something troubling you at work, Director Bai Don't worry about it; just tell me what’s wrong, and I’ll help resolve it!" After Bai Jing sat down, Li Changtian asked while sitting beside her.

"Minister Li, no, it's not about work. It's like this……" Although Li Changtian appeared very amiable, Bai Jing was still extremely cautious and nervous. She sat straight on the sofa and carefully told Li Changtian about Xiao Yu.

After hearing Bai Jing’s account, Minister Li thought for a moment and picked up the phone to call Song Hushan. He also hoped that this would help him get closer to Song Hushan.

A moment later, the call was connected, and Li Changtian told Song Hushan over the phone about Xiao Yu being arrested by the police.

"Minister Li, thank you. I’ll owe you one for this!" Over the phone, after hearing that Xiao Yu had been taken into custody by the police, Song Hushan solemnly thanked Minister Li.

After hanging up the call, Li Changtian told Bai Jing something and she saw her message had been delivered. She then bid farewell to Li Changtian and left his office. For the first time in history, as a minister, Li Changtian escorted a section-level cadre like Bai Jing all the way out.

Outside the door, those who were waiting to report to Minister Li stood up and greeted him when they saw him come out. Li Changtian nodded at them.

After stepping outside, when Bai Jing turned back to look, she saw Li Changtian standing by the doorway. She quickly bowed again towards Li Changtian.

Seeing her bow, Li Changtian waved his hand at her and Bai Jing got up and walked out.

All those waiting to report work to Li Changtian were now stunned, including even Li Changtian's secretary. Even the deputy ministers in lower positions within the ministry had never been seen escorted out by Minister Li before! But for a mere Bai Jing, he actually saw her out personally.

Moreover, Li Changtian’s demeanor was so amiable that one might think Bai Jing was from an influential official family. However, this didn’t seem to be the case as even those princes in Beijing had come looking for Minister Li before, but he still maintained his ministerial dignity and reserve.

Only with Bai Jing did Li Changtian act differently which is why his secretary was so surprised. The secretary knew very well why Bai Jing had been promoted.

As a result, Li Changtian's secretary instantly thought of the young man Xiao Yu. When he recalled Xiao Yu, he drew in a sharp breath—Xiao Yu’s background seemed to be even more complicated than he had imagined! However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t figure out what kind of person Xiao Yu was.

Li Changtian ignored everyone's astonishment and turned to enter his office. At this moment, his heart was incredibly excited; however, years of being in a high position had taught him not to let his emotions show on his face. Therefore, no one could tell that anything was amiss.

Li Changtian didn’t expect the call he made would have such an effect, which greatly thrilled him. With Song Huashan’s words, he now had another layer of assurance for future promotions.

The last time, when Old Grandpa Song was sick, Li Changtian went all out to help but received no promises from Song Huashan then. However, with just a phone call this time, Song Huashan reacted so quickly—this clearly demonstrated how much importance Song Huashan placed on Xiao Yu.

At that moment, Li Changtian silently thanked Bai Jing; without her, he wouldn’t have had the chance to do such a favor. Moreover, the benefits of this favor far exceeded his expectations.

Simultaneously, he was puzzled about Xiao Yu and Song Huashan’s relationship. He thought to himself, just who is this Xiao Yu After pondering over it repeatedly, he couldn’t figure it out. However, regardless of what kind of background Xiao Yu had, as long as he could help him, Li Changtian was secretly grateful for his son, because without his son, he wouldn't even know about Xiao Yu.

Furthermore, he felt fortunate about his previous decision. The only link between him and Xiao Yu was Bai Jing; henceforth, he must take good care of her. As long as there was Bai Jing, they would never lose touch with Xiao Yu. Li Changtian’s thoughts made him increasingly joyful.

Li Changtian sat in his room for a while before calming down from his excitement. Once calm, he began to call people in for reports.

Sitting at his consultation table, Xiao Hongyang thought deeply for a moment and then packed up his belongings, giving instructions to Grandpa Dai and Erxi before heading toward the police station as well. Although he had made the phone call and knew that the likelihood of Xiao Yu having something important was low, he couldn’t sit idly by since he was Xiao Yu’s disciple.

Outside, Xiao Yu got into a car with some policemen while Wu Shouye followed in another vehicle. When Xiao Hongyang came out, he saw their cars already on the road and hurried to the parking lot to fetch Xiao Yu's car, following them towards the police station.

"Director, are we just going to let them take him away like this If word gets around…" In Wu Shouye’s car, a forty-something-year-old man with a neat appearance sitting in the front passenger seat turned and asked Wu Shouye who was sitting at the back.

Some of these people were promoted by Wu Shouye, and some have benefited from his favor; they can all be considered loyal to Wu Shouye. The speaker is also a member of the Criminal Investigation Team and can be regarded as one of Wu Shouye's business backbone members at the Public Security Bureau, because solving cases is crucial for making achievements.

Previously, this person had offended the chief of the Criminal Investigation Team and was squeezed out, planning to transfer to another district or get reassigned. Just then, Wu Shouye arrived, and seeing that Wu needed manpower when he first came to the Public Security Bureau, he gradually moved closer.

At that time, Wu Shouye knew nothing about the bureau's situation, so he welcomed anyone who approached him. To demonstrate his influence, he steadily pushed this person towards becoming the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Team.

Luckily, this person was indeed skilled in business and solved several major cases, allowing him to firmly establish himself within the team. He then began to utilize his squad for Wu Shouye's benefit.

Now they are closely tied to Wu Shouye: if Wu is disgraced, so are they; similarly, if Wu loses face in the bureau, their own faces will suffer too.

"Hehe, let them lead! I'm afraid they won't dare not to. Just wait and see!" Hearing this person's question, the two people next to Wu Shouye also looked at him, even the driver leaned forward to listen. Seeing everyone turn their attention to him, Wu Shouye's gloomy expression instantly changed into a smug smile as he said.

"Uh..." These few people saw Wu Shouye's reaction and heard his words, showing a hint of bewilderment on their faces, looking at each other and thinking privately: "Has the director been driven mad by anger"

Wu Shouye ignored these bewildered subordinates and took out his phone to make a call.

First, he called Chu Guoqing. The person who answered was Chu's secretary Zhang Shaohua; it turned out that Chu was attending a meeting in the provincial capital at the moment. In the phone conversation, Wu briefly informed Zhang about Xiao Yu’s situation and then hung up.

After hanging up, Wu hesitated for a moment before dialing Zhang Dahan's number. Logically speaking, Zhang Dahan is from another military unit and region, so there shouldn't be much connection with him. Even if compared by rank, Zhang isn’t higher than him. But every time he faces Zhang Dahan, he feels immense pressure. Not only does Wu feel this way; even Chu Guoqing shows a hint of respect towards Zhang.but twitch at the corners of his mouth; he had been waiting for food since long ago. Having stood in one position for more than an hour was really tiring.After dinner, which started after eight o'cloc...
