Deputy Director Qi from the Jingcheng Municipal Bureau could no longer hold back at this moment; this was truly a rare and excellent seedling.

With such excellent basic qualities, regardless of the honors he could bring to the police force in national, or even global, competitions, as someone who also came from the grassroots, Qi Fei felt that such a good seedling, even if thrown to the front lines, would still stand out like a cone after a few years of honing.

Therefore, Director Qi was truly moved by his love for talent this time, and he was not the only one. Leaders from other provinces and regions were also moved by their love for talent and began to vie for Li Xiangdong.

"Hey! Director Qi, what do you mean? Even if you are eager to accept him, you still need to ask if he is willing to go to Jingcheng. Jingcheng is good, but the air quality is terrible, and the living pressure is high. Young comrades must also consider their lives. Come to our Puhai, the conditions here are much better. We can offer the best conditions, help with the household registration, provide police dormitories, and even when he gets married, we can provide dormitories for his family to live in together..."

Deputy Director Liu Hai from Puhai began to speak non-stop, making Qi Fei's face turn red. At this moment, leaders from other places also began to speak up.

"Hey! We know Puhai has money, but our place isn't bad either. The household registration and housing you mentioned, we can also provide. And with this young comrade's qualities, as soon as he comes to our place, he will start as a second-level police officer..."

"What? You only plan to give him a second-level police officer position? Do you know that he has already received a third-class merit? When he enters the police force, he should start as a second-level police officer. In my opinion, if you want him, you should at least offer a first-level police officer position..."

For a moment, the stage was like a bustling market, with everyone competing to offer the best conditions, creating a chaotic scene.

Mayor Sun and Hao Runtong, sitting on the other side, did not join in the discussion, but they occasionally exchanged whispers, showing that they were in good spirits.

On the other side, Director Wang and Minister Yang had grim faces.

Originally, they had only come to watch a police academy graduation performance, but they never expected it to turn into a personal show for Li Xiangdong. Not only did he display his prowess on the drill ground, but he also became the apple of the eye for these police leaders, completely overshadowing them.

Originally, Wang Wenshan did not take Li Xiangdong seriously. Logically, with such a talented person under his command, he should be happy.

But now, thinking about how Mayor Sun and Hao Runtong had used this matter to embarrass him, he immediately felt uncomfortable.

Minister Yang on the other side was also not in a good mood. He had come to watch the graduation performance to monitor Mayor Sun's every move, but during the performance, his son's limelight was completely overshadowed by this Li Xiangdong, which made him very uncomfortable.

Hao Runtong, looking at the grim faces of Wang Wenshan and Minister Yang, felt extremely comfortable.

At this moment, a tall, thin young man wearing a checkered shirt and black-rimmed glasses suddenly walked up from behind, heading straight for Jingnan and whispering in his ear.

Jingnan, who had been smiling and haggling with the leaders of other provincial and municipal police systems, immediately turned grim upon hearing the words.

Wang Wenshan, sitting next to him, quickly sensed his change in mood.

"What's wrong? Director Jing, has something happened?"

Wang Wenshan asked. As the overall leader of the provincial police system, Wang Wenshan was very sensitive. Recently, the security situation in major cities across the country had been very severe. If something major happened, he, as the top leader, would be held responsible, so he was very concerned about the security situation in Huanghai City.

Jingnan gave a bitter laugh and nodded at Wang Wenshan, whose already pale face became even paler.

Jingnan quietly explained the situation to Wang Wenshan, and Wang Wenshan's face grew increasingly grim as he listened. After hearing it, he asked Jingnan in a low voice.

"Is that so? What do you think, Director Jing, how should we handle it?"

Wang Wenshan stroked his chin, putting on an air of calm, gradually resuming his usual bureaucratic manner.

Jingnan inwardly sneered and looked down on Wang Wenshan even more. No wonder people in the system did not respect him.

Relying on political work to rise to power, he knew nothing about grassroots case-solving techniques, and when faced with problems, he was at a loss, putting on airs and pretending to know, an outsider leading an insider—how could such a leader be respected?

"I think we should do this..."

Jingnan reported his thoughts to Wang Wenshan. After listening, Wang Wenshan did not say much, only saying that Jingnan should make the decision himself, and then found an excuse to leave.

Jingnan, of course, knew why. Whether it succeeded or failed, if the case was solved successfully, he would take the credit, but if it failed, Jingnan would bear the blame.

In his view, Wang Wenshan was no longer a police officer but a politician!

"Old Principal, I need your help this time!"

Before this, Jingnan had been whispering to Wang Wenshan with a bitter expression, and Hao Runtong knew that something must have happened. Now, as he came to seek help, Hao Runtong waved his hand, signaling him to speak quickly.

"This is what happened. Today, the city's narcotics squad set up a trap at the entrance of the southern city road, planning to catch a drug lord. However, unexpectedly, an accident occurred at the scene. The other side saw through our setup and forcibly broke through, killing and injuring over a dozen narcotics officers. After breaking through, they entered the city, but we estimate that they will try to leave the city as soon as possible. Therefore, all the police in the city have already been mobilized to set up strict controls at major traffic routes, but there is a shortage of personnel. We hope to borrow some people from your police academy to participate in the control and investigation actions at major traffic routes."

To think that they killed and injured over a dozen narcotics officers; these drug dealers were not ordinary. However, Hao Runtong waved his hand, indicating his agreement.

In such an emergency, the students of the police academy, of course, would not shirk their duty.
