"That's good." Long Aotian gave a forced smile.

After Lin Boguang finished speaking, he waved to Long Aotian, signaling him to give him the case file in his hand.

Long Aotian walked over and reluctantly handed him the case file.

But Lin Boguang showed no intention of accepting the tea, and instead continued to drink it by himself.

"What Lin Baixun means is, aren't you standing too high?" Jiang Shou, standing to the side, looked at Long Aotian and coldly reminded him.

Although Long Aotian hated Lin Boguang so much that he wished he could kick him into the sea.

But now that I need their help, I have to swallow my pride and bear it.

So he immediately bent down and handed it to Lin Boguang in front of him with both hands.

Even though he had shown weakness, Lin Boguang still had no intention of letting him go.

He continued fiddling with the teapot, completely ignoring Long Aotian standing to the side.

"Kneel down, kneel down, don't you understand?" Wen Tao said to Long Aotian irritably, "You don't even have this much sincerity, what is Lin Baixun supposed to think?"

"Oh, so you have to kneel to get Lin Baixun to look at case files? Is this a rule of the Zhenye Division, or a rule that Lin Baixun set himself?" Long Aotian couldn't take it anymore and immediately retorted.

"You..." Wen Tao realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly covered his mouth.

Jiang Shou, standing to the side, looked at him with a sense of helplessness towards this terrible teammate.

"Hahaha, show me the case file, of course you don't have to kneel down to give it to me." Lin Boguang reached out and finally took the case file from Long Aotian's hand.

He glanced through it briefly, then rolled it up and said, "I can't let you sign this case file."

"why?"

“Because this case, in essence, was not solved by you alone,” Lin Boguang said. “Lord Dongfuguang also contributed to it.”

“I also played a part in that,” Long Aotian said. “Perhaps you could ask Master Dong to see who found the bandits’ hideout. You could also ask who ultimately guessed they were going to blow up the river!”

"Fine," Lin Boguang said shamelessly. "I know nothing about these things. When have you, Lord Shen, ever reported to me on your actions? If you really want this reward, then have Lord Dong write a letter for you personally."

Lin Boguang grinned slyly, "If even he personally acknowledges your contribution, then I'll definitely sign my name on this without hesitation!"

Long Aotian knew that this guy was deliberately going against him. After all, his attitude had been so firm before, and he had almost dragged him out as well. Naturally, he would hold a grudge and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.

"Fine, then you just wait!" Upon hearing this, Long Aotian gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Just as Long Aotian was about to leave with the case file, Jiang Shou whispered a few words in Lin Boguang's ear, which immediately changed his mind and made him call Long Aotian back.

“Lord Shen, this matter is not without room for negotiation.” Jiang Shou quickly stepped forward and put his arm around Long Aotian’s shoulder. “Now, who in the entire city of Qianzhou doesn’t know your reputation, Lord Shen? We may not be able to give you the credit, but as long as you are willing to help Lord Lin with something, the signing can be discussed.”

"After all, Lord Dong holds a high position, so he probably wouldn't care about the few coins on the list of the unpredictable," Jiang Shou said with a smile.

"Alright, then tell me, what do you want me to do?" Long Aotian wanted to make money, and the Impermanence List was the fastest way, but he couldn't get around Lin Boguang. If he could get away from this guy, he would have left long ago. Why would he stay here listening to their nonsense?

"It's actually quite simple. All you need to do is go to the Nine Gambling Houses in the west of the city and retrieve something. What do you think?" Jiang Shou said, deliberately lowering his voice.

"What is it?" Long Aotian asked warily. "Could it be some kind of contraband?"

“Of course not,” Jiang Shou said. “You don’t need to worry about what we need to take, Lord Shen. The important thing is that as long as you can bring the items back safely, then the signing will be easy to discuss.”

Long Aotian sneered and said, "So you mean that you could have signed this document anyway, but you'd only sign it if I did one more thing for you, is that right?"

"How dare you speak to Lin Baixun like that?" Upon hearing this, Wen Tao immediately slammed his hand on the table and stood up, pointing at Long Aotian and saying, "Shen coward, don't forget! Master Dong is gone now, and no one is protecting you anymore!"

"If this achievement isn't signed off by Lin Baixun, then your performance evaluation will still be invalid!" Wen Tao thought his strong stance would intimidate Long Aotian. "Without cases on the Wuchang List, relying solely on the Shi family's mere theft case, you still won't be able to stay in the Zhenye Division by the end of the month!"

"Oh?" Long Aotian turned his head to look at Wen Tao. "Judging from Chief Inspector Wen's expression, he's going to take advantage of my lack of connections and steal my credit!"

Whether or not Aotian can stay in the Town Night Division is no longer important to him.

After all, he still had Dong Fuguang as his trump card.

If he doesn't want to work here anymore, he can just write a letter and leave anytime!

But for now, he can't reveal his hand so quickly.

"you……"

"Shut up, all of you. Is it your turn to speak here?" Wen Tao wanted to say a few more words, but Lin Boguang slammed his hand on the table and stopped him.

Jiang Shou looked at his incompetent teammate, who had made the atmosphere so tense, and his face almost turned green with anger.

"Jiang Shou, discuss this matter with Lord Shen," Lin Boguang said to Jiang Shou. "If Lord Shen is willing to help me, I will sign this file for you." With that, he stood up, glared at Wen Tao, and left.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shou ignored Wen Tao, but the smug smile on his face was impossible to hide. He turned to Long Aotian and said, "Let's go, Lord Shen, let's go to a quieter place to discuss this matter."

Inside the office, Wen Tao was left all alone in an instant.

He watched Long Aotian's departing figure, silently clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely, "Shen Congxin, you just wait!"

There was a reason why he resented Shen Congxin so much.

Previously, Lin Boguang had always wanted to deal with Shen Congxin because he wanted the beautiful woman in his family. He was about to achieve his goal, but who knew that Shen Congxin would suddenly become a different person, making him seem less and less like Jiang Shou in Lin Boguang's eyes!

Moreover, because Jiang Shou was shrewd and calculating, even though they were both chief inspectors under Lin Boguang in the Zhenye Division, he rarely called Shen Congxin "Shen the Coward".

Wen Tao, on the other hand, frequently insulted Shen Congxin, his words always filled with sarcasm and ridicule.

Shen Congxin's change was unacceptable to him. The person he used to bully at will had now become someone who dared to talk back to him and cause him trouble. How could he tolerate this?
