Siheyuan came through and sent Jia Zhang to prison

He Feng raised his hand slightly, signaling Zhao Lei not to say anything more, and continued, "Tell them to go directly to Uncle Luo's small restaurant and hold a small welcome banquet to simply welcome Zhang Shi and the others. It can also be regarded as a chance for everyone to get together and strengthen their relationship. Do you understand?"

Zhao Lei nodded earnestly, his expression serious. He said firmly, "Director, don't worry. I'll take care of everything for you." He leaned forward slightly, looking at He Feng inquiringly, and continued, "Director, who are you planning to invite to this exchange event with other public security bureaus? I can make detailed arrangements in advance."

He Feng frowned slightly, lost in thought. After a moment, he slowly said (with focused eyes and a steady tone): "This event is essentially a normal exchange between the two public security bureaus. There's no need to be overly formal or elaborate. However, it would be better to invite more people to participate. This way, we can create a lively atmosphere of normal communication, reduce some people's suspicions, and make the whole event seem more natural. Do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing this, Zhao Lei's eyes lit up, as if he instantly understood the deep meaning of He Feng's words, and hurriedly said: "Director, I understand. Don't worry, I will arrange it right away and make sure that everyone who should be invited is invited." After that, he turned around and walked out of the office quickly to start implementing this matter.

He Feng knew that solid evidence was essential to bringing those hiding in the shadows to justice. This exchange might provide an opportunity to find that evidence, so he decided to hand the matter over to his subordinates, confident they would be able to live up to their trust.

In the afternoon, sunlight streamed through the window onto He Feng's desk as he sorted through documents. He glanced up and saw Ma Xin passing by the office door. He smiled friendly and said, "Ma Xin, are you busy this afternoon?"

Ma Xin heard the greeting, stopped, turned around, shook his head, and replied, "I really don't have anything special to say. What's the matter? What do you want to talk to me about?"

He Feng smiled, his eyes filled with anticipation, and said (with an enthusiastic tone): "It's like this, Director Bai sent a few comrades over, and this is a rare opportunity for communication. We can take this opportunity to have a good discussion with them about business and learn from each other. So I was thinking, if you have time, why don't you go over and take a look together?"

Ma Xin's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he looked at He Feng and said, "Okay, I also want to see their true abilities. Maybe I can learn a lot."

He Feng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's set off now. I guess they should have arrived by now." With that, he took Ma Xin out of the office.

When He Feng and Ma Xin arrived at Uncle Luo's Bistro, they saw Zhao Lei standing at the entrance, eagerly waiting. Upon seeing He Feng, Zhao Lei hurried forward, smiling respectfully, and said, "Director, everyone's here, waiting for your arrival."

He Feng looked at Zhao Lei with a sharp gaze, his expression showing a bit of concern and expectation, and asked, "Okay, who is coming this time? Tell me in detail."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lei immediately gave a detailed introduction to the personnel present. From the backbone personnel of each department to the newly recruited officers, Zhao Lei's presentation was clear and coherent. He Feng nodded slightly as he listened, thinking to himself, "So many people have come!" He couldn't help but think that this was indeed a very good plan. Through such a gathering, everyone could get to know each other, and in the future, they would become more familiar with each other and have a better understanding of each other during investigations, which would be much more convenient.

He Feng walked into the room with a relaxed smile. The people inside were originally chatting animatedly, laughing and talking non-stop. But as soon as he stepped in, everyone seemed to have pressed the mute button, and they instantly fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little restrained.

He Feng noticed this subtle change, and with a friendly smile still on his face, he hurriedly said: "I am the director at work, and everyone should be serious in their work. But now that we are off work, we are just friends. Don't be so restrained. You can chat about anything, just like usual." After that, in order to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere, He Feng gave everyone a brief introduction, emphasizing that everyone will be comrades in the Public Security Bureau in the future and should be like a family.

After the introduction, He Feng turned to look at Zheng Qiang and said sincerely, "Director Zheng, it's indeed a bit inconvenient for me to be here. I feel a bit restrained. You two can just chat here and get to know each other better."

Zheng Qiang nodded in understanding. He knew this was indeed a great opportunity to get to know his colleagues better. Without the pressure of the director present, everyone would surely be more open and forthright.

He Feng turned and walked out of the room. Just as he was about to leave, Ma Xin walked out quickly from behind and asked with a hint of confusion, "He Feng, why don't you stay in there for a while to learn more? This is such a rare opportunity."

He Feng smiled softly, looking at Ma Xin gently, and patiently explained, "After all, my status is different now. I'm the director. When I'm there, they can't help but feel uncomfortable. It always feels like they're still at work. Only when I leave first can they really chat and communicate happily and freely, which is more beneficial for everyone to strengthen their relationship."

Ma Xin nodded in sudden realization. He Feng looked at her and asked curiously, "Then why don't you chat inside?"

Ma Xin smiled and said, "I'm not used to chatting with people I'm not very familiar with. I felt a little uncomfortable, so I left first."

After hearing this, He Feng looked at the time and said, "You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's eat here."

Ma Xin nodded happily. The two found a place to sit down, and Ma Xin ordered a few side dishes. At this time, Uncle Luo came over and saw He Feng. He was a little surprised and asked with a smile: "He Feng, why are you eating here? Shouldn't you be eating with those young comrades?"

He Feng smiled helplessly and said, "Uncle Luo, my status is different now. I'm the director. If I go over there, they will definitely feel uncomfortable and can't relax. If everyone is uncomfortable, what's the point of having a meal? So I decided not to go."

Uncle Luo laughed heartily and jokingly said, "I didn't expect a brat like you to understand so many things all at once. However, I don't think you have any real interest in this matter."
