Zhao Jianguo thought of many possibilities, but never considered that the anti-drug leadership from the Provincial Department would come to ask about Li Xiang.

After a brief pause, he quickly said, "Li Xiang joined as an auxiliary police officer through public recruitment three years ago. He's been consistently performing well in our unit, hardworking and dedicated. During the harsh winter months, when others were reluctant to go on duty, he volunteered to go. He has received two fourth-level commendations, and earlier this year, he single-handedly captured an 'A' level wanted criminal. Since he wasn't part of our official police staff and his family's financial situation isn't great, we proactively applied for a 300,000 reward for him, which he donated entirely to the victims' families. For this reason, Director Song specifically applied for a second-class merit for him, which is now under review."

The leaders wanted to know about Li Xiang's situation, so Zhao Jianguo naturally spoke well of him, assuming they were evaluating whether the second-class merit was justified.

But why would it be the Drug Enforcement Bureau's leaders coming over?

"Director Song, I want this person. What do you think?"

After understanding the situation, Yan Xiong found that the information in the file was consistent, and Li Xiang's political vetting was also clear, with both his parents being honest farmers, making his background very clean.

Song Jun had a wry smile on his face. This was already the second person asking him to hand over Li Xiang, and they had brought a document from the Provincial Department, giving him no reason to refuse.

"As long as he's willing, neither I nor Officer Zhao have any issues with it."

But it was hard on Feng Yonglin, who would probably cry himself into a stupor in the bathroom when he found out.

"Is Li Xiang here? I'd like to talk to him alone."

Li Xiang, looking confused, was brought over by Officer Zhao after hearing that the Provincial Department's leadership wanted to see him.

"I don't have any relatives in such high positions, do I?"

Officer Zhao and Director Song went next door for tea, leaving the office to Yan Xiong.

Upon entering the office, Li Xiang saluted and said, "Hello, Leader."

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Yan Xiong from the Provincial Department's Drug Enforcement Bureau."

"Hello, Director Yan. I don't know what you need from me."

"I've heard you've been an auxiliary police officer for three years. Do you want to be a full-fledged police officer?"

Hearing this, Li Xiang was suddenly taken aback. The leader from the Drug Enforcement Bureau suddenly asking if he wanted to become a police officer seemed like a trap waiting for him to step in.

This made him wary: "I do want it, but Director Song promised me the special recruitment quota for this year."

"Oh, I thought the legendary fearless Li Xiang would be more straightforward, but you answered so cautiously, lacking in vigor."

"Leader, spare me the reverse psychology. Speak plainly. You're here to find someone for a job. If I can do it, I'll take it on. No need to beat around the bush."

Yan Xiong's reverse psychology didn't work on Li Xiang. Even though his intelligence attribute was only ten points, it was still at a normal level, and he wasn't one to jump into traps blindly.

Hmm, leveling up to level five gives me two free attribute points; why not add them to intelligence and see?

In dealing with leaders tactically, boosting intelligence might help. In case there's a trap, I'd unknowingly fall for it, and that would be bad.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang discreetly took out his phone and added the 2 free attribute points to intelligence.

Instantly, he felt his senses sharpen, his mind clearer, and his thoughts more agile.

"Haha, good. I like straightforward people. You're right; I'm indeed here to find you for a job. It's just a question of whether you dare to accept it."

Initially, Yan Xiong thought Li Xiang was the simple-minded, brave type and worried whether he could complete the task well. But now, seeing how sharp Li Xiang was, he felt reassured.

"Working without pay?"

"This is a recruitment guide for anti-drug police from the Provincial Department for this year. Approved by the Provincial Department's Human Resources, our Drug Enforcement Bureau has three slots for directly recruiting anti-drug officers. This is an employment contract. Once you sign it, you will become an official police officer immediately, with no probation period, entering as a third-level police inspector."

Looking at the Provincial Department's document and the employment contract, Li Xiang was momentarily stunned.

Signing his name on that paper would mean joining the police force without any examinations, training, or even a probation period. He would become a full-fledged police officer.

The next second, Li Xiang sobered up. With 12 points in intelligence, he was able to assess situations wisely, avoiding danger while seeking fortune.

The greater the temptation, the greater the danger.

Though he had some advantages, he was still just flesh and blood.

The saying goes: "No matter how skilled, still fear a knife; no matter how good the martial arts, a gun can take you down."

News often reports: "National Sanda champion was killed by a neighbor in a dispute."

"I know I'll eventually become a police officer, so there's no rush. We might as well discuss the matter at hand first."

"Alright, before discussing this, sign the confidentiality agreement. Whether or not you take the job, you can't mention this to anyone else."

Familiar with police protocols, Li Xiang promptly signed the confidentiality agreement.

"Now, let me explain the preliminary details of the 6·12 case. The incident occurred in Jinling City, initially triggered by a hospital admitting three critical patients who all died despite rescue efforts. Their symptoms indicated an overdose of anesthetic drugs. The hospital reported it to the police. The Jinling City Drug Enforcement Unit spent six months investigating and finally took down a hideout, seizing a box of new D-category drugs weighing 19.8 kilograms, capturing 12 suspects, and confiscating drug money totaling 980,000 yuan."

Li Xiang's heart tightened. As expected, it was a D-category drug case. The police force is full of talents. For the Provincial Department's Drug Enforcement Bureau's leader to come to Jinghai City personally to find him, it evidently indicated a high level of difficulty. He might as well hear it out, knowing he could back off if it was too dangerous.

He hadn't lived long enough yet, and with a system within him, his future was destined to shine brightly. There was no need to be reckless at this early stage; it was better to proceed with caution until fully grown.

"One of the ringleaders, Ma Yelin, upon investigation, was found to source his products from the local leading enterprise Baolong Group. Baolong Group is a star enterprise in Jinling, an industrial pillar, with business spanning energy, chemicals, real estate, cultural entertainment, and more. Without solid evidence, the police cannot initiate a random investigation."

"After our policy persuasion, Ma Yelin agreed to cooperate with the police. On December 1st, the police, along with this tainted witness, were at the agreed meeting point, with transaction time, location, and quantity set. We thought we would finally obtain criminal evidence against Baolong Group. Unexpectedly, during the final transaction moment, the police were tricked, and the traded item was alum. Realizing the failure, the police tried to enforce immediately, but it was too late."
