Chapter 11 Thank you for your guidance, stationmaster.
"Stationmaster, ** has requested to reclaim the body!"
The next morning, several leaders of the Jinhai Station of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics sat down for a meeting.
Because the incident happened suddenly last night, it was already late at night when it ended.
Station Chief Wu Jingzhong, showing consideration for his subordinates, allowed them to rest first and then handled official business this morning.
"Nonsense, the identity of the deceased hasn't even been confirmed yet, what kind of person do they want?"
Moreover, the perpetrator in this case has not yet been apprehended, and we still need the police station's assistance in the investigation!
Upon hearing Lu Qiaoshan's words, Li Ya spoke up at the opportune moment.
Everyone knows that Li Ya was in charge of last night's operation, but instead of catching the BL female representative, they caused an explosion.
Although no one would connect the two things, he used so much manpower and resources, only to end up with nothing.
A new broom sweeps clean, but this first attempt quickly fizzled out, much to the chagrin of the station staff.
The loudest cricket chirping was heard at Luqiaoshan.
Therefore, Li Ya naturally couldn't let it go like that; he had to continue investigating the case in order to salvage his reputation.
"You're in charge of handling things for your team!"
Wu Jingzhong was clearly not interested in the outcome of this matter and gave the order directly.
After all, the purpose of testing Yu Zecheng had been achieved. His virtuous boy was innocent, his nemesis Ma Kui was dead, and everything was fine!
"What should we do with Mrs. Ma? She's useless now!"
Seeing that his attempt to soothe the stationmaster had no effect, Lu Qiaoshan gave up and changed the subject.
"It's up to her. If she wants to go with **, she can go with **; if she wants to go back to Shanghai, she can go back to Shanghai. Don't mention this boring woman again at meetings!"
Upon hearing Wu Jingzhong's words, Hong Zhong, who was standing behind him, adjusted his glasses and lowered his head slightly.
Because of the glasses, his dark circles weren't very noticeable.
Last night he spent a lot of time and effort to appease Mrs. Ma. Now, with the stationmaster's words, there will be no more obstacles for Mrs. Ma to return to Shanghai.
It has to be said that after last night's on-site inspection, he has come to realize just how radiant Mrs. Ma is!
It's still quite rare in this day and age!
She left so suddenly, and I really felt a little reluctant to let her go.
But Hong Zhong also knew that it was not advisable for him to have too close a personal relationship with Mrs. Ma at this time; he still needed to work hard to make money!
Just as Hong Zhong was lost in thought, the meeting ended.
As Wu Jingzhong walked out of the conference room, Hong Zhong, regaining his senses, quickly followed.
"Station Master!"
Entering the stationmaster's office, before anyone else could report, Hong Zhong spoke first.
"What is it?"
Wu Jingzhong, who often suffers from prostate problems, couldn't get used to sitting on the hard chairs in the conference room, so when he returned to his office, he simply sat on the softer sofa.
Sure enough, at his age, being soft is more in his comfort zone than being hard.
"Is the investigation still ongoing regarding the military police?"
Hong Zhong stepped forward and asked.
"Ma Kui is dead, what's the point of investigating?"
Wu Jingzhong didn't pay any attention and just said it casually.
"I heard from my friend in the military police that in the past two years, the military police, from top to bottom, have been making a lot of money..."
"What's a little money to the army of the Dang Kingdom... What do you mean?"
Wu Jingzhong was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized that Hong Zhong's words had a hidden meaning, and looked at Hong Zhong in surprise.
"Although Ma Kui is dead, his identity has not been confirmed. How would outsiders know if the dead person is Ma Kui or not?"
But it's a fact that Ma Kui is being harbored by the military police. As long as we keep pressing this issue, I think the military police will be willing to find a way to quell it!
Hong Zhong came to Wu Jingzhong's side and whispered.
After what happened last night, Hong Zhong began to think about how to make money since he came into this world.
Upon arriving in this world, the only advantages he possesses besides his "prophetic" abilities are his identity as the secretary to the stationmaster of Jinhai Station.
This identity is even greater than his "prophetic" abilities.
You have to understand that in this day and age, if you want to make money by doing business, you won't have anyone protecting you, and you'll just become an ATM for various forces.
While his current identity itself doesn't grant him any real power, he can still intimidate others by borrowing their authority!
A major general and station chief of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics—such a status and position, in the Tianjin area, means that, apart from a very few people, he could practically do whatever he wanted.
As long as I can replace Yu Zecheng and become Wu Jingzhong's "benevolent son," I will make a lot of money as long as I feed Wu Jingzhong.
It's 46 years now, and two years is enough time for him to make a fortune.
Whether I open a company in Hong Kong or buy land in Southeast Asia, I will be able to live a prosperous life for myself and my descendants.
Therefore, what he needs to do now is to first let Wu Jingzhong discover his own value and gain his trust.
"Won't this give others something to talk about?"
Wu Jingzhong was clearly tempted by Hong Zhong's proposal, but being a cautious man, he still had reservations.
There's nothing we can do. Ever since Director Dai died, life at the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics has been like Wang Xiaoer's New Year – getting worse every day!
Back when Director Dai was in charge, the Military Intelligence Bureau had over 100,000 men under its command, along with numerous armed forces such as the Special Service Corps, the Guard and Inspection Department, the Traffic Police, and the Loyal and Patriotic Army. They were incredibly powerful.
However, the Military Intelligence Bureau was able to maintain its operations only because the transport captain trusted Yu Nong personally.
Now that Zheng Jiemin has come to power, the micro-management master clearly does not trust him, which is why he allowed him to be dismembered by various factions.
The remaining members of the Military Intelligence Bureau were reorganized into the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, which was placed under the Ministry of National Defense, and their days were far less prestigious than before.
The Bureau of Investigation and Statistics is not what it used to be, and Wu Jingzhong is now seen as a "remnant of the previous regime" by Director Zheng, so he naturally has to keep a low profile.
"Station Chief, you're overthinking it. We're only investigating **; other matters are unrelated to the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics."
As for charging money, I've already considered it.
"Don't you like antiques? I'll just find someone to open an antique shop!"
"Antique shop?"
"That's right. When it comes to antiques, we say there's a price, and that's the price!"
When they start selling antiques, we can simply stop our investigation.
On the surface, you have no connection whatsoever with this antique shop!
When Hong Zhong said this, Wu Jingzhong immediately understood what he meant. After a brief thought, he realized that it really was a way to make money.
For a moment, the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than AK's.
He looked at Hong Zhong, then re-examined his secretary and said:
"You have a keen eye for economics!"
"Station Master, you flatter me. I was brought to Jinhai by you. I have no relatives or friends here, and I'm not getting any younger. I also want to improve myself! That's why I've been thinking about things a lot lately!"
Upon hearing Hong Zhong's reply, Wu Jingzhong nodded. He wasn't worried about Hong Zhong's loyalty, since he had no other backer besides himself.
Seeing Hong Zhong's fluent answers, despite his previous concerns about his abilities, he decided to give Hong Zhong a chance:
"Since you've put it that way, then go ahead and do it!"
"So, the person leading the investigation... is Director Yu selected?"
"No, this time it's you! You go!"
Hong Zhong had been waiting for Wu Jingzhong to say this, so he quickly stood at attention and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Station Chief!"
Wu Jingzhong waved his hand and said, "Ah, it's all thanks to the country's cultivation and my personal performance!"
