Awakening the Daily Intelligence System - Chapter 255

Chapter 555: 217, Lin Mo’s first official meeting with Grand Xia officials_2
 

After all, Rakshasa City is considered one of the top cities in Grand Xia, and the power and status of this city’s leadership far surpass those of other cities.

However, when he thought again, if even the city leaders were accompanying Elder Liu, then it was very likely that this Elder Liu was him.

With that thought, Bai Feng couldn’t help but quicken his pace and asked while walking, “Is it the one I’m thinking of?”

The elder who had been directing him through the earpiece didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “That’s right, it’s that person himself who has come, and I can tell you, Lin Mo’s influence is even greater than you think.”

“After Elder Liu goes up, you just wait on the side, and be smart about anything that needs assistance.”

“Your relationship with Lin Mo is quite good. If you can make Elder Liu or his people remember you, know your capabilities, then your future is absolutely boundless.”

“Understood?”

As for the future and such, Bai Feng had never taken it all that seriously.

If Du Nanxue were to call him now and say she wanted him to give up all his work to be with her, Bai Feng would definitely resign without hesitation to be with Du Nanxue.

That was what he owed her.

But there was no need to make such thoughts so clear, as long as he understood them himself, that was enough.

Bai Feng didn’t speak, but he changed from walking briskly to a jog.

Now it was nighttime, and on a normal day, most of the officers at the police station would already be off duty, and the offices and corridors would usually be dark, with only some special case teams or special operations groups working overtime at night.

But today was different,

Although Rakshasa City had been very peaceful lately without any major cases, because of Lin Mo’s sudden surrender, all the local police forces had been gathered here.

Those from outside who had come to help were still on duty, so naturally, those from within the bureau didn’t feel right going off duty either.

And everyone was aware of the high profile Lin Mo currently held on the internet; if they left the police station now, regardless of whether they were wearing uniforms, they would definitely be surrounded by numerous workers from self-media and professional media organizations.

Not to mention,

As of now, all the residences or hotels with a view of the police station entrance were fully booked, with countless high-magnification cameras already pointed at the Rakshasa Police Station, live-streaming the entrance 24 hours a day.

In every live stream, massive numbers of netizens congregated, and even though the live stream’s scenes remained unchanged and weren’t interesting, it didn’t hinder them from interacting in the chat.

For netizens, this was another heavy-hitting news story after more than two years’ absence.

For media needing traffic, tonight was undoubtedly a feast of voracious traffic that would explode worldwide, missing out now, who knows how long they’d have to wait for such major news again.

When Bai Feng reached the entrance of the police station, he could see from afar a group of people escorting Liu Limin heading towards him.

Even though someone had tipped Bai Feng off in advance, when he saw Liu Limin, a figure he usually only saw in major news events, appear in front of his eyes, he couldn’t help feeling extremely excited.

If most of the world’s hackers have Dark as their target, then across the whole of Grand Xia, every aspiring police officer’s target and belief is Liu Limin.

It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t stand out much in the meeting rooms of the Imperial Capital, where his seating and speaking rights are at the very end.

Yet his deeds truly inspire countless officers in Grand Xia, because he is one of the very few who has risen from the grassroots, step by step, to the center of power at a very young age.

Such a figure is the only one in all of Grand Xia.

“Leaders, thank you for your hard work!”

Bai Feng jogged up to everyone, saluted with military precision, and said with a serious expression, “Commander, on behalf of the Rakshasa City Bureau, I welcome your arrival.”

“I am the Chief of Rakshasa City Bureau, my name is Bai Feng.”

Liu Limin had no airs about him; or perhaps a person who had reached his level no longer needed to rely on pretensions to satisfy his vanity.

He smiled and extended his hand, complimenting, “Director Bai, I’ve long admired your reputation.”

“I’m aware of the incident with Chen Shanhe. You, Bai Feng, were called to duty in a time of crisis and took over as the chief of the Rakshasa City Bureau. Initially, many were concerned that you were too young to handle such a critical situation.”

“But in the end, you proved with your results that you were capable!”

“You’ve done an exceptional job—I’ve long been aware of your accomplishments!”

Bai Feng had never expected to meet Liu Limin, let alone receive praise and compliments from him so soon upon meeting.

It’s no exaggeration to say that receiving recognition and encouragement from him was more effective than receiving several first-class merits.

Bai Feng, feeling unexpectedly honored, waved his hands and said, “You flatter me, Commander. I’m simply doing my duty, not nearly as remarkable as you make it sound.”

Some of the people around him who did not recognize Bai Feng nevertheless took note of the young bureau chief’s name and face.

Garnering the favor of Liu Limin, Bai Feng’s future accomplishments were bound to be limitless, not to mention that he was already the chief of Rakshasa City Bureau and the de facto chief who had handled the mess left by Chen Shanhe.

His demonstrated abilities alone were sufficient for them to take him seriously.

“Alright, let’s not indulge in mutual praise here,” Liu Limin said, seemingly oblivious to the changes in expressions of those around him, nor did he need to consider what others thought.

After all, at his status, he didn’t need to care too much except in front of a select few.

That was a fact.

Liu Limin continued, “Let’s skip the pleasantries, Director Bai. You must know what we are here for. To get straight to the point, where is Lin Mo now?”

Bai Feng truthfully answered, “As per the higher-ups’ request, Lin Mo is not being treated as a criminal suspect for the time being. Everyone else in the police station is working elsewhere, and as you know, I’ve had some prior dealings with Lin Mo.”

“So I decided to put him in my office and take the opportunity to learn about some of his activities abroad, in a heart-to-heart manner.”

People present did not raise too many objections about Lin Mo being placed in the bureau chief’s office.

They were all well aware of Lin Mo’s significance, especially since they had fully acquainted themselves with Lin Mo’s life before coming to Rakshasa City. Naturally, they also knew about his dealings with Bai Feng.

Had they been in Bai Feng’s shoes, they would likely have made the same choice.

Liu Limin, known for his decisiveness, waved his hand and said, “Then, shall we trouble Director Bai to lead the way and introduce us to Lin Mo? I’d like to consult with him about the matter.”

“If it’s convenient, you could also share your previous findings.”

“Don’t have any reservations; since Lin Mo has come to surrender, he must certainly be fully prepared. Whatever he told you, he knows you would report it to your superiors. So, just tell us everything you know,” Liu Limin instructed.

Bai Feng understood this principle very well and was clear about what Lin Mo was thinking, so he didn’t say much more. He had no significant reservations and, as they walked, he selectively recounted the conversation he had with Lin Mo, as well as the conversation Zhang Yihua and the others had with Lin Mo, detailing every bit of it to Liu Limin.

Liu Limin did not show much surprise at the newly acquired intelligence, occasionally nodding slightly, without offering any opinion.

Not far to go, and even though Bai Feng walked slowly, after 10 minutes, the group arrived at the door of the bureau chief’s office.

Liu Limin didn’t go in right away, but instead turned to look back at the people in the corridor and said with a smile, “He’s just one man, and yet we are so many; we don’t want to seem as though we’re trying to overpower him with our presence.”

“How about this: you all stay busy out here while I go in with Director Bai. If needed, we’ll call you in,” he suggested.

His word was the command, and naturally, no one present dared to object.

Once sure there were no dissenting voices, Liu Limin gestured and said, “Director Bai, please knock.”

“Let me see for myself the man who has brought unrest to Grand Xia, and just how formidable a foe he really is!”
