When the officers on the scene heard Zhang Lin call Director Huang Long his mentor, they immediately regarded Zhang Lin with deep respect.
After all, Director Huang Long held considerable influence in the entire police department, his position was very high as well. For Zhang Lin to become Huang Long's apprentice, it was equivalent to leaning on a big tree. With Huang Long's support, Zhang Lin was sure to rise swiftly in rank, and perhaps one day, he might even become the director.
Therefore, any disdain the officers felt towards Zhang Lin earlier, due to Wang Yan's outstanding performance, vanished instantly. They once again looked at Zhang Lin with friendly, appreciative, and sycophantic eyes.
Noticing the change in the officers' gazes, Zhang Lin couldn't help but feel proud. He raised his head, slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, and glanced arrogantly at Wang Yan, thinking to himself: Hmph, kid, now you know, right? I am Huang Long's apprentice, aren't you scared?
