Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 501 - 247: Hiding One’s Achievements and Fame

Chapter 501: Chapter 247: Hiding One’s Achievements and Fame
A perfectly good family dinner had completely turned into a battleground full of gunpowder.
Luo Fei originally just wanted to have a meal and didn’t intend to suppress them, but he hadn’t expected that Yang Xiao would keep provoking him. Did he really think this son-in-law was easy to bully?
Since the other side wanted to compete, he could only let him lose thoroughly.
Throughout the entire family dinner, no one was happier than Yang Tianyong and Zhao Yulan. They had known their prospective son-in-law was excellent, but they hadn’t expected him to be outstanding in every aspect!
Not only in personal capability but also in social influence, he was equally remarkable.
"Oh, well, let’s eat."
"Let’s add another bowl and pair of chopsticks for the girl."
Yang Tianyong was completely unconcerned with his second brother and nephew’s faces, which were as black as the bottom of a pot. Since the family was together now, they should enjoy the meal first.
Even Zhao Donglai’s eyes held a hint of admiration.
If Luo Fei hadn’t helped them save face today, they would have been utterly humiliated.
Yang Mei quietly moved closer.
"I didn’t expect you to be so good with the opposite sex. Women miss you—really quite the charming policeman."
Hearing this, Luo Fei was immediately embarrassed.
Who could have thought there would be such a string of mishaps?
"Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding..."
"I didn’t even know her before. It really is just a misunderstanding. When you’re out on cases, it’s unavoidable."
Seeing Luo Fei in such an awkward yet cute state, Yang Mei recalled the straight-man image he had when they first met. Now it’s much better, but he’s still someone who cares about her.
The recent incident was bound to pass.
But Yang Xiao was still not satisfied. Suddenly, he thought of something and once again pointed the spearhead at Luo Fei.
If he couldn’t regain face today, he wouldn’t mix in!
"Recently, I talked about a big project that happens to be related to our public security agency. However, this project is a bit challenging. It’s a big order for assisting with the procurement of electronic components."
"Unfortunately, there’s no opportunity. If Brother Fei is so well-regarded in the police force, could you help give a greeting, just as a favor?"
"The project targets are in Binhai. If it succeeds, I’m willing to offer half the profits to thank you, how about it?"
This statement set Luo Fei up high. Entrusting someone to do a task and deliberately giving someone a hard time are two different things. Luo Fei was just a team leader, and decisions couldn’t be made unilaterally.
Beside him, Zhao Donglai was starting to feel indignant and was about to speak up. Where could you find such an opportunity?
Moreover, doing such biased things is wrong!
If anything went wrong, not only would it harm Yang Xiao, but it would also affect Luo Fei’s reputation.
"Cousin, you’re out of line with that statement."
Yang Mei suddenly spoke up.
She had been staying silent but that didn’t mean she didn’t have a temper. Yang Xiao’s repeated attempts to embarrass her boyfriend were simply outrageous!
"How can you use public resources for private gain? And if your project has issues, aren’t you just making things difficult for Luo Fei?"
"Cousin, that’s not how it is. Although there’s a bit of calculation, it shouldn’t be discovered..."
"Oh?"
Luo Fei suddenly caught onto the conversation.
"You mean there’s a problem with the project?"
Yang Xiao’s eyes flickered, but he still chuckled.
"Indeed, there’s a bit of a problem, but it’s to save costs. The quality levels are similar. If Brother Fei could step in and say a few words, maybe this would work out."
"But this should be something we talk about privately behind closed doors, isn’t it a bit too difficult..."
While speaking, the sharpness in his eyes was becoming more pronounced.
He spoke without considering Zhao Donglai at all, just so bold and open.
He wanted to make Luo Fei publicly acknowledge his incompetence, surely not everything could be under the other party’s control!
Yang Tianyong was about to support him when he saw his brother’s smile.
Yang Tianzhi’s smile was sneaky; he wanted to see how his big brother would help his son-in-law out of this predicament.
The family couldn’t be speaking the same line, right? If it couldn’t be done, it wasn’t shameful, such things had to be accepted. Who told Luo Fei to act so superior earlier?
"Alright!"
Suddenly Luo Fei spoke up.
"Since that’s the case, I’ll help your cousin this time."
"However, since I’m taking it on, then it must be done my way."
This statement shocked everyone!
Yang Xiao doubted if he heard it wrong; was Luo Fei really daring to say anything?
To be so bold in taking charge of this matter? Could Luo Fei, just a small team leader, really manage?
Even Zhao Donglai with more authority couldn’t handle it, yet he had a solution!
For a moment, Yang Tianzhi and Yang Xiao looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Luo Fei picked up his phone and dialed a number, then set it to speaker mode so everyone present could hear clearly.
"Luo Fei, hahaha, why’d you think of calling?"
"What’s up? Coming to Binhai for a business trip? I’ll treat you!"
Luo Fei smiled slightly.
"No such thing. I’m calling to discuss something with you. Recently, has your Binhai City Bureau had a project order for procuring a batch of components? Are you aware?"
"Seems like there is. Director Tang asked me to keep an eye on it, saying it was for our Criminal Investigation Team to use."
"Ah, then that’s correct."
"Is there a project manager named Yang Xiao, do you know him?"
The words struck like thunder, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.
Zhao Donglai was the first to react. Luo Fei had really called Han Tiesheng, something he hadn’t expected.
Yang Xiao’s heart was in his throat, it was too thrilling!
