The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 490 Perfect Solution
Lin Shiqun was still talking to Wu Sibao in the office when his secretary suddenly came in and said that Lin Zhijiang called.

The switchboard asked if we wanted to connect it.

Of course, Lin Shiqun had to answer Lin Zhijiang's call. He immediately ordered the switchboard room to connect the call to the landline in his office.

"Director, the police station took the initiative to release She Aizhen..." Lin Zhijiang reported quickly after seeing the call was connected.

The person was released after being detained for only a few hours?

Lin Shiqun was also very surprised. After listening to Lin Zhijiang's report, he finally understood what was going on. It turned out that the police station had asked Cheng Mo to take full charge of the conflict.

Moreover, She Aizhen was released only after signing a letter of responsibility, not unconditionally.

Needless to say, the content of this letter of responsibility is definitely beneficial to the Municipal Council and the concession, otherwise Cheng Mo would not have let him go so readily.

As a result, his plan to take advantage of this opportunity to make a big deal out of it was dashed.

Continue to confront the police station.

I'm afraid that won't work. Even if Shibuya supports me, the higher-ups won't. The British will definitely protest to Japan.

After careful consideration, he realized that if he did not withdraw, he would be in trouble. After all, the police station had already released the person, and seeking an explanation would be a matter for later.

If we don’t withdraw, we will give the Municipal Council an excuse.

So, after some consideration, he ordered Lin Zhijiang to withdraw his men.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Shiqun told Wu Sibao that his wife had been released by the police station and had returned home. He could go home to comfort her first and talk about anything else tomorrow.

When Wu Sibao heard that She Aizhen was released and returned home, he no longer cared about the interests of No. 76 and hurried home.

……

Lin Zhijiang was relieved when he received the exact order to evacuate. He didn't want to have a conflict with the police station.

After this, he would have to go in and out of the concession frequently, and it would not be a good thing to be remembered by the police, especially for Cheng Mo.

Among the Chinese police officers announced by the concession now, the likes of Chief Chinese Detective You Agen have been sidelined. The one with the greatest power and influence is the young Chief Cheng in front of us.

It took others more than ten years to reach his current position, but it only took him more than two years.

The young are really to be feared.

When necessary, he would rather make friends than offend easily.

"Captain Lin, take a message to Director Lin. He has asked Wang Miao to tell me several times that he wants to meet me. It will be at 9 a.m. tomorrow at Boss Gao's Lido Ballroom." Cheng Mo said.

"Understood, Mr. Cheng, I will definitely pass on your message!" Lin Zhijiang was slightly shocked. He obviously didn't know that Lin Shiqun wanted to make friends with Cheng Mo and even passed the message through Wang Miao. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said.

Lin Zhijiang led the men from No. 76 to retreat, and Cheng Mo also ordered the Jing'an Temple Police Station to lower their guard and let those who needed to go off work go off.

The storm has temporarily subsided.

"Mr. Liao, if you go now, it shouldn't delay your date with Mrs. Lisa!" Cheng Mo met Chief Patrolman Liao with a smile.

"Cheng, you are really awesome!" Mr. Liao gave Cheng Mo a thumbs up.

"Mr. Liao, you're welcome." Cheng Mo said, "I want to meet Detective Jackson."

"You want to see Jackson?" Mr. Liao was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. He immediately said, "I put him in solitary confinement. Since Cheng wants to see him, there is no problem."

"Thank you."...

In confinement room.

Although Jackson was imprisoned, as a former second lieutenant in the British Army, he naturally had his dignity and honor. He sat on the bed with his posture straight.

However, his limbs were a little stiff, and one could see his inner tension and anxiety.

As the chief detective of Jing'an Temple, how could he not know what kind of people were at No. 76? And the person he offended was the wife of the "devil of the world" Wu Sibao. This Chinese man was extremely bold and dared to do anything, even though he was a foreigner.

He was also afraid of such lawless hooligans. Once they took revenge, he really didn't know how to deal with them.

The door of the confinement room opened. Jackson looked up in surprise and saw Cheng Mo walking in. He was naturally familiar with Cheng Mo, the most powerful Chinese detective in the Municipal Council.

After all, this face could often be seen at the parties organized by Mr. Tony. This young Chinese was more popular than him, an innocent Anglo-Saxon. He didn't understand and was even a little jealous. Of course, it was also true that they were not very familiar with each other.

"Detective Jackson, we should know each other." Cheng Mo walked in and greeted him in English.

"Inspector Cheng, is there anything wrong?" Jackson asked in a somewhat stiff tone.

"Because of you, there almost came to be a fight, or even a more serious exchange of fire." Cheng Mo said.

"I was conducting a routine inspection according to the rules. It was those people who didn't follow the rules. Is that wrong?" Jackson retorted dissatisfiedly.

"Rules are correct, and there is never a shortage of rules in this world, but rules are made for people who abide by the rules. You can't force people who don't abide by the rules to abide by the rules, unless you have the power to force them to abide by the rules!" Cheng Mo said.

“Are we just going to let those people break the rules?”

"Of course not. The question is, do you have the ability to control the situation and whether you can withstand the other party's retaliation. If not, you can only turn a blind eye and let them go." Cheng Mo said.

"I'm just doing my duty."

"That's right, Inspector Jackson, you are performing your duties, but you have also brought trouble to the police station and even the Municipal Council. Moreover, I can tell you responsibly that your current situation is very dangerous." Cheng Mo reminded solemnly.

Jackson's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead due to nervousness. He knew that Cheng Mo was not exaggerating.

He knew Wu Sibao. He was a vengeful person. He would not let go of anyone who had offended him. He would take revenge and would not stop until the other person was killed, even if it was just a misunderstanding.

"Inspector Cheng, what do you want me to do?"

"Inspector Jackson, you are no longer fit to be an inspector. If you continue to stay in the Jing'an Temple Police Station, not only will you be in danger, but you will also implicate other patrol officers in the Jing'an Temple Police Station. So, you understand what I mean."

"You want me to resign voluntarily?" Jackson's face changed. What's the difference between this and asking him to desert.

"You can take the initiative to apply for a transfer from the Jing'an Temple Police Station, then transition for a period of time, and then apply to leave." Cheng Mo said.

"Is this what it means?" Jackson asked.

"No, this is my personal advice to you." Cheng Mo said, "Whether you listen to it or not is up to you to decide."

Wu Sibao is not a magnanimous person. He will definitely not let Jackson go. Making trouble for him is the least of his worries. He will probably hire someone to shoot Jackson directly.

No. 76 even dared to assassinate President Fei Xindun, so what is a mere British detective?
Jackson was silent.

"I've told Mr. Liao that I'll let you out tomorrow morning and give you one night to think about it."
