“Ahaha!”

The captain of the anti-pickpocket squad didn’t expect that his intentions would be exposed even before Su Xuan had been transferred. He needed to quickly explain himself.

“Lao Mai, 1 didn’t mean it that way. You see, Su Xuan is such a talented anti-pickpocket officer, and now there’s this big operation…”

“If you could lend him to me, 1 promise he’ll be the brightest star in the anti-pickpocket squad!”

Upon hearing this, Lao Mai’s eyes flickered with a hint of intrigue. He had some ideas in mind.

This time, Su Xuan had gained so much attention, and it would be a missed opportunity if they didn’t take advantage of it during the large-scale operation. Considering the effort Su Xuan had put in, it was only fair to make the most of the situation.

Normally, during the year-end evaluations, their Jiangcheng division was always at the bottom. Now that they had encountered this stroke of luck, they couldn’t let it slip away. If they didn’t capitalize on this opportunity and earn some recognition, Lao Mai felt like he might as well jump out of the second-floor division office.

On the side, Director Zheng was also considering the idea of temporarily transferring Su Xuan to the anti-pickpocket squad. Seeing Lao Mai’s expression, he knew that Lao Mai must have something in mind. However, he didn’t mind it at all and directly said, “Lao Mai, if you have any hesitations, just speak up. Everyone is here.”

“Let’s brainstorm together!”

While he said it was about brainstorming, in reality, he was encouraging Lao Mai to make his demands known. As soon as this sentence was uttered, Lao Mai’s eyes immediately lit up. It was evident that he had been waiting for this moment.

After all, his subordinates had done so much excellent work, so it was only fair that he got a share of the credit by sending Su Xuan to the anti-pickpocket squad. Not going was not an option.

“I have to say, Captain Liao, you should know Su Xuan’s capabilities in catching thieves,” Lao Mai said, giving a thumbs-up to everyone. “Using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken wouldn’t be appropriate. If you borrow him, but don’t place him in a key position, I won’t be pleased.”

“When you talk about an outstanding officer like Su Xuan, he should be sent to the areas with the most rampant criminals, right?”

After this statement, everyone fell into contemplation. Su Xuan lowered his head, pretending he didn’t exist. These were the times when things were being pushed to the limit, and he knew he had no right to speak freely.

“Lao Mai, what are you saying?” Captain Liao of the anti-pickpocket squad immediately chimed in. “With a top-notch officer like Su Xuan, if you let him join us, not to mention subway stations or train stations, I’ll have him sent directly to the airport!”

“The places with the highest foot traffic are where the criminals are most rampant! We have to use our best where it matters most!”

Once he finished speaking, Lao Mai was satisfied. However, this was just the matter concerning the anti-pickpocket squad. His main point was to address the leaders of the city bureau:

“Director Zheng, you see, if I send all my elite team members out, our division will be short of a key player!”

“In the upcoming major operation, our division will be lacking a significant fighting force…”

Lao Mai continued, glancing around the room with a solemn expression, clearly waiting for the top brass to take the bait.

Rubbing his hands together and grinning, he made his bold proposal:

“I’ve heard that our bureau recently acquired a new batch of patrol cars.”

“Well…”
