Ning Zhiheng nodded in satisfaction. He knew the amount of money in his mind. Actually, he wasn't concerned about the money itself, but rather about Liu Datong's attitude. If Liu Datong really wanted to split the money with him, Ning Zhiheng would definitely have to give him a warning and make him understand his place in the world. Fortunately, Liu Datong was behaving very well.

Ning Zhiheng gestured for Liu Datong to sit down, then turned and sat in the main seat himself, smiling as he said, "From now on, you can keep 20% of your allowance and just do your job well. Are there any problems with your work this month?"

Hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, Liu Datong felt a warmth in his heart. He quickly said, "No, no, I really don't need that much. Besides this allowance, there's too much money to be made at the Xicheng Police Station. They cover a large area, and to be honest, my hands are sore from taking money. The work goes smoothly, and with you as my mentor, everyone is very obedient. The brothers I brought are also very capable. Everything is going smoothly. I never thought I would live such a good life. My wife says every day, 'We picked up a pebble, but we never expected to find a gold ingot inside!' Haha!"

Ning Zhiheng was amused by his words and laughed. Liu Datong was a clean person at heart, the kind of person with a kind heart. Otherwise, he would not have chosen him in the first place. He hoped that Liu Datong would not forget his original intention when he was in a high position in the future, and that he would achieve his goal in the end!

"Your wife is a good woman. As the saying goes, 'With a virtuous wife, the husband will not suffer any misfortune.' You will have many good days ahead of you. Just so you know, I need to go back to Hangzhou tomorrow to take care of some family matters. It will take about a week. If there is anything urgent during this time, please notify my subordinate Wang Shucheng, and he will inform me in time!"

When Liu Datong heard that Ning Zhiheng was going back to Hangzhou, his eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Team leader, since you're going back to your hometown in Hangzhou, could you please send some things to my goddaughter for my husband and me? We haven't seen her for so long, and we don't know how she's doing. My wife keeps talking about her. She even made two pairs of shoes a while ago, saying she wanted to send them over. I said, 'Xiao Wan's family is high-ranking and wealthy, why would they even want your shoes?' So I didn't send them. I'll go back and buy some nice things to take to Xiao Wan."

Liu Datong was able to gain Ning Zhiheng's appreciation because his family genuinely cared for Xiao Wan as if she were their own daughter, which Ning Zhiheng was very satisfied with.

Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You're the one who's confused. You know that Director Chen's family has everything, and the shoes he makes himself are the best. You can't even figure this out. Go back and prepare quickly, and I'll bring them to you."

Liu Datong then realized his mistake and admitted that he had been confused. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Liu Datong said hesitantly, "Team leader, there's something else I'm not sure about."

"What is it? Tell me," Ning Zhiheng said.

"It's Shan Yimin, who's currently guarding the Qiaoshuiwan checkpoint. He's my former Director Du's brother-in-law. He wants to meet with you. I wonder if you'll give him that opportunity?" Liu Datong said.

"Shan Yimin, Du Qian's brother-in-law?" Ning Zhiheng frowned. Of course he knew this person. Back then, Du Qian spent 100,000 silver dollars to get his brother-in-law to this position, cleverly combining the Kangyuankou Pass and the Qiaoshuiwan Pass, and finally firmly grasping this golden passage.

"Did you pocket his share of the allowance, which led him to come knocking on your door?" Ning Zhiheng asked suspiciously, but he believed that Liu Datong was not so short-sighted as to dare to disobey him.

Hearing the displeasure in Ning Zhiheng's tone, Liu Datong quickly said, "Of course not. You specifically instructed that everything should be done according to Director Du's rules, and he hasn't been shortchanged on that 10%."
