Chapter 820: Chapter 816 Taking Over the Criminal Police Team
Wang Xianzhong and Fan Feipeng were both taken away by the disciplinary committee, causing quite a stir at the police station in Mingde County. People more or less knew that these two didn’t get along with Ye Fan.
The modified Volkswagen parked at the entrance of the police station. The old gatekeeper took one look at the car, opened the barrier gate, leaned halfway out, and handed over a cigarette.
This gatekeeper was over eighty years old. He had worked at the police station for most of his life, and after retirement, he still didn’t want to leave, so he took on the role of gatekeeper. In terms of seniority, no one in today’s police station could compare to him. On usual days, this venerable old star of the police station was indifferent to everyone.
Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the cigarette. The old man smiled, revealing his few remaining teeth, “Commissioner Ye, what you did yesterday was brilliant. The police station shouldn’t be tainted by these parasites!”
After parking the car, on the way to his office, people couldn’t hide their fear when looking at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan didn’t mind. He entered his office and started handling his work affairs.
Mid-morning, a policewoman knocked and entered, saying to Ye Fan, “Commissioner Ye, Director Zhao is asking you to come over.”
“Okay, I know. I’ll be there right away.” Ye Fan answered, tidied up a bit, and then went to Zhao Lina’s office.
“Thank you for yesterday’s matter.” Ye Fan closed the door, pulled a chair over, and sat down in front of Zhao Lina.
Zhao Lina acknowledged with a hum and handed over a file, “This is the personnel information from the Criminal Police Brigade. Those you can use, those you need to be cautious of, I have marked out the general situation for you. Take a look.”
“Thank you.” A warm feeling rose in Ye Fan’s heart as he took the information.
“For now, the disciplinary committee is using personal misconduct as the reason to take Fan Feipeng away. However, in a few days, they should uncover more issues, so unless things go wrong, Fan Feipeng will be dismissed. You should take this opportunity to take over the work of the Criminal Police Brigade.” Zhao Lina said.
Ye Fan nodded. Zhao Lina had a heavy burden on her shoulders, and if he could take over the work of the Criminal Police Brigade quickly, it would also ease her burden a bit.
Zhao Lina said, “Alright, there’s nothing else, you can go back now.”
Ye Fan, whose seat wasn’t even warmed up yet, was a bit taken aback, looking at Zhao Lina. The latter seemed to be avoiding his gaze and buried herself in work.
Ye Fan stood up, put the chair back in its place, and left.
Zhao Lina looked up, a bit of disappointment in her eyes.
But after a while, she saw Ye Fan come back, holding a can of Longjing tea.
Ye Fan picked up the cup of coffee on the table that had gone cold, poured it out, rinsed it, placed the tea leaves in it, poured hot water to brew it, and placed it in front of her, saying, “Drinking tea is good for your health.”
Saying this, he walked out.
Zhao Lina looked at the cup with the green tea leaves sinking and floating inside, staying silent for a long time.
Back in his office, Ye Fan opened the personnel information from the Criminal Police Brigade and carefully studied it.
By the afternoon, he went to the Criminal Police Brigade and convened a meeting with various leaders. Apart from a forensic captain who was on a mission outside, everyone who was notified attended.
At the meeting, Ye Fan said a few simple words, then let several team leaders report on their recent work, afterward summarizing and providing some guidance. He was already acting as the person in charge of the Criminal Police Brigade.
He noticed that two individuals showed obvious signs of resistance. He had read their information in the morning; they were both close allies of Fan Feipeng. However, probably due to his own authority, they didn’t do anything excessive.
Seeing that the time was about right, Ye Fan said, “From today on, Ma Hongbing will temporarily act as the head of the Criminal Police Brigade, managing the daily work of the brigade.”
One of Fan Feipeng’s close associates was about to speak, but was abruptly stepped on the foot under the table by another person.
Ma Hongbing was an old member of the Criminal Police Brigade, forty-five years old this year. He had solved many major cases and arrested many people, rich in experience, with a strong sense of justice and hatred for evil. However, his temper was somewhat violent, and he liked to use force against suspects. Often one moment he’d be pulled out for praise, the next he’d be in the corner writing self-criticisms. This was the reason why he had been stuck in the position of forensic team captain for ten years.
He had good relations within the Criminal Police Brigade and strong work capability. Using him to replace Fan Feipeng was the best choice, which Zhao Lina had clearly stated.
“Does anyone have any different opinions?” Ye Fan glanced around, and seeing no one speaking, said to Ma Hongbing, “Captain Ma, make your statement.”
The sudden development took Ma Hongbing by surprise. A colleague next to him nudged him hard in the waist, and he abruptly stood up, snapped to attention, and saluted Ye Fan, “Thank you, Commissioner, for the trust. I will definitely do the work of the Criminal Police Brigade well!”
“Alright, that’s it, the meeting is adjourned.” Ye Fan said, picking up his documents and was the first to get up and walk out.
With lightning-fast speed, Ye Fan dealt with Wang Xianzhong and Fan Feipeng. People were awed by Ye Fan’s thunderous methods. Whether in the Criminal Police Brigade or the Public Security Brigade, there was no backlash, at least not openly.
After handling the matters on both sides, by Friday after work, Mo Xiaoyan came to find Ye Fan, inviting him for a meal to express her gratitude. During the meal, when discussing the cosmetics project, Mo Xiaoyan excitedly said that the first phase of the promotion plan had been implemented, and the results were even better than anticipated.
Sitting beside Ye Fan, Mo Xiaoyan chattered like a little lark, and Ye Fan just smiled lightly while listening.
“Brother-in-law, where did you come up with this plan? I had marketing experts from the family take a look, and even they clicked their tongues in wonder!” Mo Xiaoyan asked.
“Could it not be that I wrote it myself?” Ye Fan replied.
“Brother-in-law is boasting again!” Mo Xiaoyan playfully shook Ye Fan’s arm with her slender hands, “Come on tell me, brother-in-law, where did you get it from?”
Ye Fan stuffed a piece of fish into his mouth, “Heaven’s secrets should not be revealed!”
“Tsk,” Mo Xiaoyan pinched Ye Fan, “If you don’t want to tell, don’t tell, brother-in-law is so stingy!”
Ye Fan thought for a moment and asked, “That guy Xie Liping, has he come to bother you these days?”
“No,” Mo Xiaoyan said. Just mentioning Xie Liping made her uncomfortable, “When I went back to Hua Hai City that day, I had a falling out with him, and afterward he hasn’t come to find me.”
“Mm, that’s good.” Ye Fan thought for a moment and reminded, “Keep an eye on the people in your company. Maybe someone is not trustworthy.”
Mo Xiaoyan responded with an ‘eh.’
Ye Fan said, “Wang Xianzhong from the Public Security Brigade seems to know about my investment in your company. I think besides us, it’s just a few related personnel in your company who are aware of this.”
“Could it be…” In Mo Xiaoyan’s mind, the image of the secretary suddenly flashed. These days, she always felt that the female secretary seemed a bit mysterious.
