Chapter 173 Not a Visa
After casually asking for directions, Lin Feng appeared in Zhou Yang’s office.
"Haha, Lin Feng, you’re here! Please take a seat, make yourself comfortable!" Zhou Yang, seeing Lin Feng’s arrival, was thrilled and hurriedly ushered Lin Feng to sit on the visitor’s sofa. It seemed that Lin Feng was in a good mood today, probably nothing special going on. Otherwise, every encounter with Lin Feng was bound to involve some earth-shattering issue, which made Zhou Yang somewhat nervous whenever he saw Lin Feng.
Lin Feng didn’t stand on ceremony and both sat down on the sofa, one after the other.
"Director Zhou, I’m here today because I have a matter to discuss." Lin Feng saw Zhou Yang brimming with vigor and felt happy for him. After being suppressed by Liu Jilong for so long, it was great to see him doing well. Lin Feng would have felt the same joy. Such enthusiasm would lead to great efficiency at work. More importantly, Zhou Yang hadn’t acted like the petty people who pretended not to know him, which reassured Lin Feng that he hadn’t misjudged Zhou. If it had been someone else in Zhou Yang’s position, those he knew from before would pretend not to recognize him. That’s human nature for you.
Luckily, Zhou Yang remained as warm as ever, even more enthusiastic than before, which genuinely pleased Lin Feng.
"What’s the matter? As long as I can help, consider it done without a second word!" Upon hearing that Lin Feng indeed needed his help, Zhou Yang immediately inquired. He knew that he had to take Lin Feng’s matters seriously, as Lin Feng had helped him so much, and he hadn’t had the chance to repay him. He felt he must do well this time; otherwise, he would be very uneasy.
"Actually, it’s nothing too important. The school wants me to lead a team to Yuegang for an exchange, but I lack the necessary documentation," Lin Feng explained, not wanting Zhou Yang to worry unnecessarily over thinking he had another difficult issue to deal with.
"Oh, just that? That’s easy, I’ll arrange for someone to take care of it right away." Upon hearing what Lin Feng said, Zhou Yang couldn’t help but laugh, realizing he had been overly anxious. All the issues he had encountered with Lin Feng were significant, and it never occurred to him that Lin Feng would come to him just for this. But since Lin Feng had asked, he would definitely see to it personally. With this thought, he activated the intercom on his desk and called for his secretary, Xiao Li, to come in.
"Xiao Li, Mr. Lin Feng needs to process the paperwork for travelling to Yuegang. Take care of it, would you? And bring the documents here afterwards!" Zhou Yang ordered Xiao Li to handle Lin Feng’s paperwork as soon as Xiao Li walked in.
"Yes, Director! I’ll go right away!" Secretary Xiao Li glanced at Lin Feng and then respectfully exited. However, his mind was anything but calm. Who was this man sitting on the sofa, and why was Director Zhou treating him with such favor? Director Zhou was famously impartial and it was unknown who could be so close to him. This young man must be someone extremely important for the Director to take such special notice of him.
Who exactly was he anyway? Xiao Li had never seen him before; it was as though he had come out of nowhere. Regardless of who he was, since the Director had given his orders, Xiao Li was determined to handle the matter well. Just a trip to Yuegang, he would directly opt for the highest level of service, to save face for the Director and also demonstrate his own smooth handling of affairs!
There was no time to waste, so Xiao Li quickened his pace, knowing that getting the documents processed quickly was the real priority.
Just as Xiao Li left, a hearty laugh came from outside. As soon as Wang Ming saw Lin Feng, he came over warmly.
"Lin Feng, I heard from the Director that you had come, so I hurried over. How have you been lately?" Wang Ming was immensely grateful to Lin Feng. He had initially thought he’d spend his life as a vice-captain of a sub-bureau, but in the few months since Lin Feng appeared, he had risen swiftly to become the captain of the city bureau’s criminal police team. The change was so huge that he still felt like he was dreaming.
Regardless, everything he had now was thanks to Lin Feng. Without Lin Feng’s appearance, he would have remained a vice-captain until retirement. This favor was something he would always remember and if needed, he was determined to assist Lin Feng with all his might, a decision he had made long ago in his heart.
"Yeah, it’s been quite a while since we last met. I’ve been very well," replied Lin Feng, also feeling indescribably joyful upon seeing Wang Ming. After all, it was rare to find a policeman with such a strong sense of justice as Wang Ming these days. Not to mention anything else, the fact that Wang Ming was willing to take the fall for him during the human trafficker incident was enough to show Wang Ming’s character, and such police officers were truly a rarity now!
"Hehe, Lin Feng, what brings you to the city bureau this time? Just say the word if you need my help," said Wang Ming, knowing that Lin Feng wouldn’t come to the city bureau without a good reason. He just didn’t know what the issue was or whether he could be of assistance. But if it was within his power, he wanted to do his utmost to help.
Although he didn’t know Lin Feng very well, one thing was certain: given Lin Feng’s capabilities, there didn’t seem to be many things that could trouble him. After all, he had knocked down a whole bunch of thugs single-handedly. So what could possibly be challenging for him? That meant it wasn’t an issue of that nature. Then, what else could Lin Feng possibly want from the police station?
"It’s nothing, Director Zhou has already sent someone to take care of it!" Lin Feng assured Wang Ming, not wanting the old policeman to worry.
"Lin Feng, shall we have lunch together?"
"Yeah, Lin Feng, we’ve known each other for so long and haven’t had a meal together yet."
"I don’t have anything on this afternoon, I should be able to."
"How are your uncle and aunt doing now? Just let me know if you need my help, okay?"
"Heh, I don’t have any big capabilities, I can only make sure no one dares to bother them."
...
While the three people were chatting here, it wasn’t long before Xiao Li came back with a document and respectfully handed it over to Lin Feng.
"Mr. Lin, this is for you!"
"How come this isn’t a visa?" Lin Feng took the document and casually flipped through it, it seemed different from the usual visas, what was this?
"Lin Feng, this thing is much more useful than a visa, it’s an internal document for the police, it can reduce a lot of trouble, but it is only for use within Yuegang. At critical times, it can even be used to call on some police forces." Zhou Yang immediately answered the question. It was normal for Lin Feng not to know the significance of this document; Zhou Yang had learned about it only when dealing with matters in Hong Kong. Indeed, it was very useful as it could directly summon a part of the police force in Hong Kong, showing just how effective it was.
"Director Zhou, I’ll go back to work now." Seeing that there was nothing more to do here, Xiao Li planned to go out and do his job. No leader would want their secretary to know too much, and a secretary should have the awareness of what their role entails.
"Mm, go ahead," Zhou Yang understood Xiao Li’s thoughts and casually agreed.
"Lin Feng, I’m also heading back. The Criminal Police Team is busy, and I can’t leave for too long. We can meet again at noon." Wang Ming also took the initiative to say goodbye. There was really a lot going on at the police station these days, with several pressing cases accumulated over the past two years, keeping him extremely busy. It would be better to gather with Lin Feng at noon when they could speak more freely.
"Let’s go for a walk, is there somewhere around here we can talk?" Lin Feng felt uncomfortable staying in the office and wanted to change the environment to chat with Zhou Yang. He was just unfamiliar with the surroundings, which is why he asked.
"The park behind the office is nice, we can go there for a walk." Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Zhou Yang promptly chose the closest place. However, he was puzzled by what Lin Feng meant. The office was just fine, so why go outside? Could it be that Lin Feng had something important to tell him?
Thinking this, Zhou Yang promptly led Lin Feng toward the park behind the office building.
"Tell me about my senior disciple, Wang Anjun," said Lin Feng. Every time he saw Zhou Yang, he thought of his senior disciple, Wang Anjun, but he hadn’t seen him yet, which left a lingering concern in his heart.
"Brother Wang was originally our instructor. Before I transferred out, I was a member of that department..." Only now did Zhou Yang understand what Lin Feng meant and, without hesitating, he started to slowly talk about everything related to Wang Anjun. Lin Feng would eventually learn about these things anyway, and there was no need to keep them a secret from him. Had it been someone else, Zhou Yang definitely wouldn’t have spoken of it. But a big question mark was spinning in his head—who could be the teacher of Lin Feng and Brother Wang? Producing two disciples of such heavenly level, their mentor must be incredibly powerful. If he could just be a nominal disciple like Brother Wang, he definitely wouldn’t be just a police director!
"How long has it been since you last saw my senior disciple?" Lin Feng was well aware of the special regulations of those so-called special departments, where it’s common not to meet for several years. But these past two days, he had a feeling that something was about to happen to Wang Anjun, and he had divined a Blood Disaster. Hearing Zhou Yang speak of his senior disciple’s cultivation, it seemed decent, so who could have injured him? Moreover, the most important thing was to find out where Wang Anjun was now.
"It’s been years since I last saw him, but the first time I saw you at the police station, it was after receiving his call that I went. And now, I also have no news at all," Zhou Yang narrated in detail, not sure why Lin Feng asked, but knowing that Lin Feng never spoke nonsense; everything he said had a purpose. What then was the intention behind his question?
"Oh, I see," Lin Feng replied upon hearing what Zhou Yang said. He realized that it was impossible to get any clues from Zhou Yang and thought that he might need to use a computer to handle some affairs later.
