The two went to Director Yang's office.

Both men were trusted confidants of Director Yang, who particularly admired Guan Feng, considering him a rare multi-talented individual. Given that Guan Feng was about to be transferred, his tone became much gentler.

While listening to Guan Feng's work report, he encouraged him, saying, "Xiao Guan, you did a great job this time! You rescued the hostage in less than 8 hours. Chairman Shang just called me personally to express his gratitude. It seems you did a good job appointing me this time."

"It's all as it should be!"

Guan Feng attributed the credit to the entire detachment, while emphasizing Zhao Dong's central command, but never mentioned his own contribution.

Director Yang was very satisfied with Guan Feng's attitude. Although he knew that Guan Feng was most likely the one who found out the truth, especially since the step of identifying the suspect through footprint identification had been reported in advance, Guan Feng always put his superiors first. No one would dislike a subordinate like that.

He asked, "Have the people from Hongcheng left yet?"

Guan Feng shook his head and said, "Not yet! There are still some interrogations going on, involving Ding Li's assistant. He was in Jincheng paying Qian Hao's medical bills. They're the ones who brought him back. I've asked them to make sure the interrogations are thorough."

Director Yang said, "That's perfect! Chairman Shang said we should have dinner together tonight. Please inform the Hongcheng Squadron to join us as well."

Guan Feng asked, "Can we eat here, Chairman Shang?"

Director Yang nodded and said, "Because you resolved this matter so smoothly, Shang Nana didn't suffer much. Chairman Shang is in good condition now. When she called me just now, she said that the psychological counselor's visit greatly helped stabilize their mentality."

"I also consulted a psychologist, who suggested that dinner in the evening was fine, and even specifically requested that you attend, as this would help them recover better."

Seeing Guan Feng's confusion, Director Yang explained, "It's very simple! You are a symbol of safety in their hearts. The psychologist said that your presence helps them recover, especially Shang Nana! She now takes you for granted as a safe haven."

Guan Feng suddenly realized that he had also studied psychology and naturally understood these principles.

He said, "Okay, I'll be there on time for dinner tonight. I'll go back first and work on the case thoroughly so I can hand it over to the brigade today. I'll go with everyone tonight."

Director Yang said, "Okay! We can talk about this again tonight if we have time."

Guan Feng nodded and left.

Zhao Dong smiled as he looked at Guan Feng's retreating figure and said, "I just reminded Xiao Guan that he should not only do a good job on his work, but he also needs to do a good job on his reports. He only said a few words before running off to work again. All he knows is to bury himself in his work."

Director Yang looked at Guan Feng's departing figure and said admiringly, "Young people are like that! It's good that they are energetic. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Guan Feng's criminal investigation skills are so outstanding and he can play a greater role in cases, I would want to keep him by my side."

Zhao Dong also remarked, "Speaking German and Japanese, and excelling in all aspects, such versatile talents deserve to be carefully cultivated."

Director Yang said, "Yes, I'm leaving next week. You'll have to train Xiao Guan well, so that no talent goes to waste."

Zhao Dong immediately said, "Director Yang, please rest assured, the criminal investigation team will definitely train him well."

Director Yang nodded and said, "It's nothing, I have a conference call later, let's talk tonight."

Zhao Dong immediately left.

......

Interrogation room.

Zheng Yuandong has just finished the interrogation.

He walked out of the interrogation room and saw Guan Feng waiting there. He asked, "Captain Guan, did you wait for us on purpose?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "Ding Li and Qian Hao voluntarily confessed. You are the last batch. There is also something else I need to inform you. The entire Second Squadron is having a dinner party tonight!"

Zheng Yuandong laughed and said, "Captain Guan is treating? Then I won't be polite. I couldn't attend the promotion banquet last time."

Guan Feng said, "Chairwoman Shang is treating us to dinner as a way of thanking us for rescuing her daughter! In addition to Captain Kai, Director Yang will also be attending, so Lao Zheng, this is your chance. It's up to you whether you can seize it."

Zheng Yuandong's eyes welled up with tears, and he suppressed his excitement as he said, "Director Yang is also participating? I understand! Guan Feng, thank you for your help."

Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "It's not just for you, everyone should get ready! Several squads involved in solving the case will be participating tonight!" He then looked at Liu Shengguo, who was standing next to him, and said, "Shengguo, call the comrades in the branch offices and tell them we're having dinner together tonight, and ask them not to eat beforehand."

Liu Shengguo asked, "Where should we eat?"

Guan Feng said, "Kamikaze Hotel."

Liu Shengguo suddenly realized that this was a place where government officials usually entertained guests. It seemed that both sides were careful about their image, trying to have a meal without giving anyone cause for criticism.

It's almost time to leave work.

All relevant files have been compiled.

Ding Li confessed to his crimes without reservation. He also emphasized that he had no intention of harming his daughter and that he would not do anything to hurt Shang Nana regardless of whether Shang Wanting gave him money or not.

This is also reflected in Qian Hao's confession.

Guan Feng instructed someone to record the relevant information in the case file. He also called Shang Wanting to inform her of the situation: "Chairwoman Shang, all the facts of the case have been investigated and clarified. As one of the parties involved, there is something I need to make clear to you."

Shang Wanting asked somewhat nervously, "What's wrong?"

Guan Feng said, "Chairman Shang, don't be nervous. There's nothing unexpected. It's just what we talked about before. According to our investigation, Ding Li subjectively wanted to extort money, but actually didn't... This can also be confirmed by Qian Hao's confession and his behavior. He did not cause any substantial physical harm to Shang Nana."
