Chapter 2070: Dissing Lin Yi
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Han Zhongyu’s expression froze, his facial muscles twitching in an almost comical way as he processed the shocking news.
Instinctively, he turned to Liu Chunjiang.
He was in charge of this operation and had assured him.
Ling Han would be the team leader.
But now, with the position unexpectedly given to Lin Yi, Han Zhongyu found this hard to accept.
Liu Chunjiang simply shook his head, indicating that he had no idea what had happened.
The people from Songjiang Sub-bureau were equally stunned.
They had been led to believe by Han Zhongyu that Ling Han was a shoo-in for the team leader position.
The fact that it had been awarded to Lin Yi, a newcomer from Xinsan precinct, left them in disbelief.
Even the members of Xinsan precinct were taken aback.
By all expectations, the leader should have been either Li Xianghui or Ling Han.
They both held captain positions within their respective precincts.
No one thought that the role would go to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi subtly glanced at Liang Ruoxu.
It was clear as day that she was behind this decision—there was no way Chen Bingqiang would have made such a call without her approval.
“Officer Lin, as the team leader for this operation, would you care to share your thoughts?” Liang Ruoxu asked in a deliberately neutral tone.
“Um…”
Caught off guard, Lin Yi reluctantly stood up, realizing that Liang Ruoxu was intentionally putting him on the spot. With no other choice, he forced himself to give a brief speech.
“I don’t have much to say. We’ll catch the target, so rest assured, leaders.”
He kept it short, then quickly sat back down.
The room filled with a mixture of reactions, each person interpreting his brief remarks in their own way.
“Alright, that’s all for today. Let’s all work with Team Leader Lin to organize the arrest operation. The meeting is adjourned.”
After the meeting, everyone began to leave, though the members of Songjiang precinct were clearly displeased.
Their eyes filled with hostility as they looked at Lin Yi.
However, they knew better than to openly question a decision made by Chen Bingqiang and silently departed.
Li Xianghui patted Lin Yi on the shoulder with a grin.
“Looks like you’ve made it big this time. Now I’m supposed to take orders from you!”
“Come on, Brother Li, don’t tease me.”
“I’m not kidding,” Li Xianghui chuckled.
“Chen Bingqiang probably chose you because of your role in capturing Bai Yongshou. This is a big opportunity, so make sure you give it your best shot.”
“I will.”
Lin Yi responded simply, then added,
“You guys head back first. I have something else to take care of and will join you later at the precinct.”
“Alright, but don’t take too long. We have a lot to get done, so stay focused.”
“Got it.”
As the others left, Lin Yi quietly made his way to the parking lot and got into Liang Ruoxu’s Audi A6.
“Lin Yi, I’m going to strangle you!”
Liang Ruoxu exclaimed the moment he sat down, pinching his side hard.
“You became a police officer and didn’t even tell me,” she said, glaring at him.
“I didn’t want to worry you,” Lin Yi replied, dodging her pinch.
“How long has it been?”
“A few months, but I don’t remember the exact date.”
“I should really strangle you!”
Liang Ruoxu scolded, giving him a fierce look like an angry tigress.
“It’s not that big of a deal. If I had done anything else, I wouldn’t have kept it from you. I just didn’t want you to treat me differently.”
“This is the first and last time you’ll keep something like this from me. If it happens again, you’ll be sorry,” Liang Ruoxu warned.
“Don’t worry. I’ll tell you everything from now on.”
“That’s more like it,” Liang Ruoxu said.
