Chapter Summary
Therefore, what he needed to do now was to stay put and try not to attract attention, so that he wouldn't be unable to handle any trouble that might arise. Zhu Tianhua's father had many cards to play, and if Liu Ning were to take over the position in the future, all of these would be useful. After the apocalypse, many people said that society had lost its sense of justice, and that no strong person would care about the common people anymore.
Liu Ning was well aware of the current situation. He had just been promoted to city councilor, and further advancement was practically impossible. No matter what achievements he had made, he had become somewhat conspicuous recently. Therefore, what he needed to do now was to stay put and try not to attract attention, so that he wouldn't be unable to handle any trouble that might arise. However, Zhu Tianhua was different. This guy was young and capable of getting things done, so it was fine to give him all the credit. Everyone understood the situation anyway. Zhu Tianhua's father had many cards to play, and if Liu Ning were to take over the position in the future, all of these would be useful.
Hearing Liu Ning's words, Zhu Tianhua understood what was going on. The reason he had come to Liu Ning to express his support was precisely because of this matter. If Liu Ning didn't give Zhu Tianhua his full support, then Zhu Tianhua had no way to continue developing in this situation. Everyone could see clearly that Zhu Tianhua's father was no longer capable, so he needed to find a new backer. Once he had a new backer, things would be much easier. Therefore, Zhu Tianhua needed to align himself with Liu Ning. If he did it early, he might secure a position; if he waited too long, who knew what those people would think? Don't think those guys didn't scheme; they had countless things to consider, and your position might very well be part of their calculations.
In fact, the Prefect had considered letting his son take on the responsibility, but quickly put the idea aside. Although this would bring greater merit and allow him to make proper arrangements for his son before retirement, his son also needed to have the necessary abilities. If he were to force his son into the position, it would not only fail to solve the problem but could also expose many flaws, which would cause serious issues. Therefore, the Prefect had been carefully selecting a candidate. Although the incident had only occurred a day ago, the Prefect's mind worked incredibly fast, and he quickly chose Liu Ning. There were other suitable candidates, but they lacked a sense of justice. Only someone with a strong sense of justice like Liu Ning could undertake this task and truly benefit the people.
After the apocalypse, many people said that society had lost its sense of justice, and that no strong person would care about the common people anymore. The city lord used to think so too, after all, what society had revealed was the reality of the situation. But things changed after Liu Ning came out. This guy often did some very good things for the people, and it was precisely because of this that the city lord promoted him. Of course, Zhao Wudi didn't stop him for the same reason. Although this matter hasn't been made public yet, the two of them are pretty much right about it. If it weren't for someone like Liu Ning, the two of them would probably feel disappointed. They wouldn't trust anyone else to investigate this matter. Do you think just anyone could get involved in this matter? Absolutely not.
Besides the naval base, the Human Investigation Bureau is also watching this matter. Do you think they'll agree just because you bring in someone else? Before you can even issue the order, they'll probably refuse. This matter requires absolute secrecy. If a blabbermouth gets involved and causes public panic, who will take responsibility?
After leaving the garrison headquarters, Liu Ning didn't delay. He had Zhu Tianhua drive him back to the guard team. The guard team had performed very well last night. Although they encountered various things, they didn't mess things up and strictly carried out Liu Ning's mission. This was something Liu Ning wanted to commend them for. Therefore, everyone who participated in the operation last night received a bonus of 1,000 yuan. When they heard about this decision, they were all very happy. You can't just cultivate people's moral beliefs; you also have to give them some real material benefits. No one just shouts slogans without eating. Only by combining the two and letting everyone see real benefits, satisfying both their moral and material needs, can people continue to trust you and continue to follow you.
Zhu Tianhua witnessed everything and was filled with admiration. He used to think Liu Ning was just a martial artist and lacked intelligence, so he couldn't imagine him achieving great things. But after Liu Ning became a city councilor, Zhu Tianhua understood. Liu Ning simply didn't show it; he had everything on his mind. Only those who were idle and prone to clever tricks had problems. Liu Ning simply kept everything under control, a quality Zhu Tianhua lacked. After assembling their team, they immediately set off with 1,000 men. Liu Ning trusted only his guards, not others. Besides, he had the imperial decree; he could investigate wherever he wanted without anyone daring to stop him.
Of course, these people all had long faces when the bonuses were distributed. Giving a 1000 yuan bonus was a good thing, but the problem was that Liu Ning threw over a stack of 10-yuan bills—100 bills in total. These people were instantly speechless. "Our treatment here is indeed good," they thought, "but why does the boss keep distributing cash? How much of this kind of cash does the boss have? Why does he always produce so much? Where does the boss get it?" While the others didn't know what was going on, Jinzi and his group did. Whenever a soldier went to ask, Jinzi and his men would warn them, "Take it if you want, return it if you don't. We're not forcing you to take it." This effectively silenced the soldiers' questions.
In this day and age, does anyone complain about having too much money? Although they were all given 10-yuan notes, they could still spend that money. Besides, it was only 1,000 yuan, which was enough for their usual pocket money. So from then on, these guys stopped asking about it. They knew they wouldn't get any information anyway, so they didn't want to cause trouble for the higher-ups. They just took the money obediently.
