Chapter 83 - 80 Zhang Lu Achieves Great Merit
Zhang Lu hadn’t planned to keep Ye Fan’s secret. She spoke with caution, "Ye Fan, Snow Mastiff is a nationally wanted criminal. Taking him down is a significant achievement, and you’ll reap immense benefits. Have you really thought about not taking credit for it?"
"I don’t care." Ye Fan’s voice was cold and hard, "You can take the credit. The information from Snow Mastiff’s mouth will be vital. Letting him face legal justice will greatly enhance the police’s reputation, and Huaxia’s international standing will correspondingly rise. After all, Snow Mastiff is wanted worldwide. I have just one request: don’t let anyone know it was me who did it."
"I don’t take credit for others’ achievements; it’s an insult to me." Zhang Lu restrained her anger. She had inexplicably received credit when she first arrived in Dongfang City, something she still resented. How could she now take credit for Ye Fan’s work?
"How about this: consider it a deal between us. You get credited for taking down Snow Mastiff, and if I ever have any trouble, I’ll ask you for help. Does that work?" Ye Fan conceded.
Zhang Lu hesitated for a while before responding firmly, "Okay, it’s settled then."
She had no choice but to agree. She knew Ye Fan’s character—short-tempered and stern, never one to compromise. That he was negotiating how to handle Snow Mastiff was already a significant concession in her favor, so she couldn’t bring herself to coldly refuse.
Even though she didn’t know why Ye Fan was doing this, capturing Snow Mastiff was undoubtedly an enormous accomplishment.
After Ye Fan disclosed the specific location, the call was finally concluded.
"This guy is becoming more and more mysterious. I already suspected he was the one who incapacitated those six Poisonous Spider assassins, but I had no evidence. Previously, I blindly received credit; now I’m going to take credit again. I know when he says to come to him if I need help, it’s just talk, but since he’s solemn about it, I’ll have to keep it secret. In the future, I’ll show more care to Chu Mengyao’s company as a form of gratitude."
Zhang Lu pondered, filled with curiosity about Ye Fan. She knew how formidable Snow Mastiff was; even she wasn’t entirely confident about capturing him. Yet, Ye Fan managed to deal with Snow Mastiff so effortlessly, which was truly astounding.
