Chen Guoqiang nodded and said, "That's right! Xiao Guan handled all the communication and interrogation this time. The fact that the case was solved so quickly is also due to Xiao Guan's timely adaptability."

He recounted how the suspect was a marksman eager to shoot, and how Guan Feng agreed to let him shoot.

Director Yang smiled and said, "Although I'm not often in the bureau, I've heard your name several times. Not bad!"

Seeing this, Guan Feng humbly said, "This operation was carried out under the leadership of the two bureau chiefs and the branch captain. It's inappropriate to attribute it all to me. Moreover, Captain Wang and Ma Chaoyang cooperated with us, which is why we achieved this result!"

"If there's anything special about it, it's that after being transferred to Hua'an, I've always kept in mind what Director Yang said: 'Firmly believe in your convictions and never compromise with criminals.'"

"To be honest, I was a little nervous when I started shooting. After all, the other side fired first, and there were bombs, which could have caused the hilltop to collapse. But when I thought of what you said, Director Yang, I knew I couldn't let them get away, and I couldn't let the criminals threaten us!"

"But somehow the shot actually hit the target. I have to thank Director Yang!"

Director Yang just laughed it off.

Director Chen and Zhao Dong both smiled and looked at Guan Feng.

"Hold firm to our beliefs and never compromise with criminals!" This is something Director Yang often said after taking charge of the municipal bureau, and he even said it several times at the city's police system televised conferences.

Since Guan Feng knows this, he must have studied this kind of video conferencing quite a bit.

And what about learning the spirit of the meeting from the big boss?

This is a quality that an excellent criminal investigation manager must possess.

Just by looking at the beaming smile on Director Yang's face, you could tell that the flattery was hitting the nail on the head.

Chen Guoqiang was naturally happy to see it happen.

Guan Feng was immediately transferred to the Municipal Bureau. He was Zhao Dong's protégé, and naturally, he was also Chen Guoqiang's protégé.

Director Yang is likely to be promoted soon, stepping down from his concurrent position as director. Who will succeed him as director? Chen Guoqiang has a chance, as do the other deputy directors.

Perhaps Director Huang is the least qualified among them.

The other party had just been promoted to deputy director, and the finances he was in charge of were relatively unimportant.

Therefore, the competition between the two was not that intense.

But the other bureau chiefs weren't so easy to talk to, especially Old Li, who had about the same seniority as him.

At this time, Guan Feng was transferred to the Municipal Bureau, where he was not afraid to wield a sharp blade.

Previously, people might not have had a direct sense of it, but this 1.5 billion has made many people realize the power of the criminal investigation team and Guan Feng's power.

Director Yang encouraged him, "Young man, do a good job. I've heard about your work from Old Chen. Criminal investigation is indeed tough and tiring, but it's also easier to achieve results. Isn't this 1.5 billion investment a perfect example?"

He paused, then looked at Chen Guoqiang and said, "Old Chen, I think we should apply for a collective first-class merit for the criminal investigation team in this case, and a second-class merit for Xiao Guan. Submit it, and I'll approve it!"

Chen Guoqiang laughed and said, "No problem! I'll have the team submit the application right away."

Director Yang nodded and said, "The handling of this matter should be done discreetly. I know the men down there are still a bit angry. Ma Chaoyang, right? He was almost hit in a vital spot. You need to comfort him properly, just for the sake of the people of Hua'an."

Chen Guoqiang said, "Understood! I will explain it to the brothers."

Director Yang said, "Alright, let's do it this way for now. I have a meeting in the city, I'll go there first."

Chen Guoqiang then accompanied Zhao Dongguanfeng to see Director Yang off.

He then returned to the criminal investigation team's office.

Wang Bin, Ma Chaoyang, and others gathered around.

Chen Guoqiang first said, "This case should be handled discreetly, the relevant investigations should be kept quiet, and the suspects should be transferred."

Wang Bin frowned and asked, "Director Chen, why? This bastard almost killed three of my brothers!"

Chen Guoqiang explained simply: "The other party is preparing... This 1.5 billion can bring in at least 100 million in tax revenue every year, and can also solve the employment of thousands of people. We criminal investigators protect thousands of families, isn't that the same?"

Wang Bin sighed and said, "Alright, I have no objection, I just can't quite wrap my head around it."

Chen Guoqiang said, "Wang Bin, you need to aim for higher levels in the future. Don't limit yourself to the identity of a front-line police officer. You need to have the mindset of a manager. What is the big picture? Finding out the truth of the case is the big picture. Enduring humiliation and hardship for the sake of economic development is also the big picture!"

Wang Bin said, "I understand!"

Chen Guoqiang then looked at the others and asked, "Does anyone else have any objections? Chaoyang, you were grazed by that bullet, why don't you tell us about it first!"

Ma Chaoyang glanced at Chen Guoqiang, then looked at Guan Feng and said, "To be honest, I have to thank Captain Guan for pulling me out of the woods. Instead of asking for my opinion, you should ask Captain Guan. If he has no opinion, I have no opinion either. Anyway, it's just a superficial injury."

Chen Guoqiang looked at Guan Feng and asked, "Xiao Guan, what do you think?"

Guan Feng explained, "Brother Ma, the case was handled discreetly. It's impossible to say that everyone has no objections. You have your thoughts, and I have mine. Director Chen and the branch captain, which one of them doesn't want to deal with these criminals severely?"

“But an investment of 1.5 billion is no small amount, and the annual tax revenue of 100 million can greatly alleviate Hua’an’s financial situation. Not to mention, our brothers’ salaries are also funded by the city’s finances, right? So when we were talking about this, although I had some thoughts, I still felt that we should put the overall situation first.”

Ma Chaoyang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Chen Guoqiang looked at the others and asked, "Does anyone else have anything to say?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Guan Feng, the biggest contributor to solving the case, had no objection, and neither did the victim, Ma Chaoyang.

Even if they have opinions, is it their place to speak up?

Chen Guoqiang said, "In that case, we should sort out the relevant case details as soon as possible. The people from Shanghai and the consulate will come to pick up the person this afternoon. The case will then be transferred to Shanghai."

Everyone worked overtime to keep busy.

It's almost time to leave work.

The relevant case files have been sorted out.

Police officers from Shanghai and embassy staff accompanied the handover.

Director Yang attended in person.

The relevant criminal suspects were transferred to the other party.

Chen Guoqiang and the others watched the vehicles drive away, and sighed, "Our country has only been developing for a short time. Perhaps when we no longer need these things will be when we truly become strong!"

Everyone nodded silently.

Old Yang patted Chen Guoqiang on the shoulder and said, "That day will come."

Chen Guoqiang glanced at the time and invited, "It's getting late. Zhao Dong, book a hotel. We'll all have dinner together tonight. Director Yang, are you free tonight?"

Director Yang shook his head and said, "The city is holding a special meeting tonight to attract 1.5 billion yuan in investment. I have to attend. Old Chen, you represent me and thank the brothers for their hard work!"

Chen Guoqiang said, "Okay."

Director Yang waved goodbye to the group again, then got into his car and left for the city.

Zhao Dong asked, "Director Chen, how about the seafood restaurant?"

Chen Guoqiang nodded and said, "It's delicious and inexpensive, let's go to the seafood restaurant. Those with family members should bring them. Xiao Guan, call Ya Yue and ask if she has time."

Guan Feng laughed and said, "It's upstairs. I'll just go and invite it."

Chen Guoqiang laughed and said, "That shows even more sincerity."

Guan Feng cupped his hands in greeting to the group and took the elevator directly to the 4th floor.
