Having spent many years in officialdom in his previous life, Ning Zhiheng knew that when it came to getting along with people, details were very important, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they could determine success or failure.

Some people, without you even realizing it, can create animosity and then, at a crucial moment, trip you up. You won't even know why, just because you made them unhappy in the first place.

Moreover, since Ning Zhiheng benefited from solving the case, he should also express his appreciation to Liu Molin for his efforts.

Liu Molin was surprised that Ning Zhiheng would come to visit him. To be honest, he was very resistant to these spies who held the power of life and death.

He witnessed Ning Zhiheng arresting Huang Xiansheng from a distance yesterday, and even after returning home, the thrilling scene kept replaying in his mind.

After all, what ordinary person would want to deal with these vicious people who can destroy their family and take lives in the blink of an eye?

Ning Zhiheng's visit was completely unexpected, and he even brought a considerable gift.

Ning Zhiheng lowered his stance, first apologizing again for his rudeness yesterday, and then expressing his gratitude to Liu Molin for his contribution to solving the case.

Having spent a long time in officialdom in his previous life, he was extremely eloquent. His words were gentle and tactful, which put Liu Molin and his wife in a good mood, dispelling any misunderstandings they had, and they had a very pleasant conversation.

With a youthful, slightly childish face and dressed in a Zhongshan casual suit, Ning Zhiheng looked exactly like a young student. Coupled with his refined speech and gentle demeanor, Liu Molin and his wife almost forgot his identity as a secret agent during their conversation.

Finally, Ning Zhiheng promised that if Liu Molin ever encountered any problems he couldn't solve in the future, he could come to him, and he would do his best to help.

The Liu couple were overjoyed. They knew that Ning Zhiheng worked for the military intelligence department, which held special privileges over the military, police, and judiciary, making him extremely powerful. With Ning Zhiheng's promise, they would at least not have to worry about unexpected disasters in the future, which was nothing short of a life-saving trump card!

She politely declined the couple's invitation to stay for dinner and hurried off to a small restaurant to wait for Liu Datong.

Liu Datong entered the restaurant soon after.

These past two days, Liu Datong has made a point of coming in every time he goes to and from get off work to see if Ning Zhiheng is waiting for him there.

In those days, communication was inconvenient. Ning Zhiheng had an office phone, but Liu Datong, a patrolman, didn't have one. This was the only way they could communicate, albeit a clumsy one.

Seeing Ning Zhiheng sitting in the shop, Liu Datong immediately perked up. He strode forward: "Commander Ning, you're here! How did the case go? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Since following Ning Zhiheng, Liu Datong felt completely different from before. He no longer walked unsteadily and felt grounded.

In the past, I used to avoid the police chiefs and sergeants, afraid of accidentally offending them and getting into trouble.

But in the past few days, he has completely lost that cautious and timid mindset. These people who were once unapproachable have completely lost their intimidating power over him.

This change in mindset led to a noticeable shift in his behavior. He would unconsciously raise his voice a notch when meeting colleagues. He even once joked with the sheriff, which clearly surprised the latter.

His habitually hunched back straightened up without him even noticing. He walked with a brisk, confident stride, and those around him could sense the self-assurance in his voice.

Even his own wife said that he looked different these past few days, as if he had become several years younger.

He knew it was because he had always felt that he was like a floating duckweed in this world, without roots, and would be swept away by a gust of wind.

But Ning Zhiheng's appearance made him feel that he had a solid and reliable wall behind him.

Ning Zhiheng smiled and waved his hand, gesturing for him to sit down, saying, "The case went very smoothly. We apprehended the suspect yesterday, and the higher-ups are very satisfied! You and your brothers have done a great job. Here's the reward money, three hundred US dollars. You can divide it among yourselves!"

After saying that, he took out another stack of banknotes and placed them on the table. However, this time he didn't have time to exchange them for fiat currency, as US dollars were also widely accepted in the market.

Liu Datong was dumbfounded. In just a few days, right here in this small restaurant, Ning Zhiheng had already given him a reward twice.

The first time, they gave him two hundred yuan in legal tender, which was a large sum of money. It really made him look good in front of his brothers.

This time it was even more outrageous, he handed over three hundred dollars in brightly colored US dollars. He's been around the world for years, so he knows the value of US dollars.

"Commander Ning, the reward money you gave us last time was just distributed. The brothers were so happy they didn't know what to do. This time, with so much money all at once, how am I supposed to put it?" Liu Datong clasped his hands together, too embarrassed to take the huge sum of money on the table.

Ning Zhiheng chuckled and said, "Isn't it a good thing to get money? If you really don't want it, I'll take it back!"

Liu Datong then reached out and took the stack of US dollars. He could imagine how much this bounty would help his men's lives.

Just imagining their expressions when they received the reward money filled Liu Datong with excitement.
