44: First-Class Police Inspector! Individual Third-Class Merit Citation!

Seven o'clock in the morning.

Su Yun, who was currently washing up, habitually heard the system's mechanical voice echoing in his mind.

[Ding! Today's check-in is successful. It is another day full of hope.]

[Today's check-in reward: The entire body grows by 1 centimeter!]

[Special reward: One Needle Through (As long as there's a hole, as long as there's a gap, there's nothing we can't open!)]

[Today's fortune reading: Minor Auspicious, Major Ominous!]

Hey, what are you doing!

Minor Auspicious is fine, but what does adding Major Ominous mean?

Yesterday was Major Auspicious, Minor Ominous, and he was nearly beaten to death by the unruly villagers of Tazhai Village.

Today is Major Ominous?

With Minor Ominous, he was almost beaten to death by unruly villagers.

This Major Ominous... Su Yun's lips twitched, and even brushing his teeth became cautious.

"Brother, come out and eat breakfast."

"Hot buns delivered by Officer Hong."

"If you're late, you won't get any..."

At the dining table, Su Yun chewed slowly and deliberately.

A single breakfast took him nearly half an hour.

Officer Hong smiled and said, "Brother Su Yun, you don't have any plans today, right?"

"Because of the case at Tazhai Village yesterday..."

"Someone on the Director's side wants to meet you."

"Who is it? Is it Director Chen?" Su Yun asked.

"Let's go, you'll know when we get there."

Officer Hong was being mysterious and wouldn't say clearly.

Knock, knock, knock!

They knocked on the door of Director Chen's office.

Every movement Su Yun made seemed extremely careful.

Major Ominous, Major Ominous... Since checking in, he had never encountered a Major Ominous reading.

Today, he was the person marked by Major Ominous.

"Please come in!"

As the office door was pushed open.

A mature, weather-beaten yet exceptionally resolute square face appeared before Su Yun.

The appearance was very unfamiliar.

The police rank... Hiss! A first-rank police supervisor!

Holy cow, someone of the Deputy Director level is here?

It couldn't be because of the good things he picked up yesterday while scavenging, right?

But Officer Hong said that what he picked up was perfectly fine!

He assisted the police in solving the case, so logically, he hadn't made any mistakes... Su Yun stood stunned, unable to figure it out.

Bureau Chief Chen waved his hand: "Young Brother Su Yun, why are you still standing? Hurry and sit down."

"Come, let me introduce you. This is our Deputy Director Zhang..."

Zhang Jianguo slowly rose to his feet.

A sincere smile appeared on his imposing, serious square face.

His large hands instinctively grasped Su Yun.

He smiled and said, "Young Brother Su Yun, I've long admired your reputation!"

"Ah?"

Su Yun was a little confused.

Suddenly, a major figure, a first-rank police supervisor of the Deputy Director level.

Grabs your hand and says, "I've long admired your reputation."

Who wouldn't be dumbfounded by that?

Su Yun pulled at the corner of his lips, "Uh... You are too polite."

"I dare not accept those four words, 'I've long admired your reputation.'"

"No..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Deputy Director Zhang immediately withdrew his hand and patted Su Yun's shoulder.

He said earnestly, "Young Brother Su Yun may not know this."

"You might not realize what an incredible thing you have done."

"Tazhai Village has always been a key focus for our police department in cracking down on gangs and rock sugar."

"Over the years, our police department has never relaxed its surveillance of it."

"The number of undercover Police Officers who have fallen in Tazhai Village is more than a handful..."

"Among them, my youngest son was unfortunately paralyzed during an undercover operation... He can only sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life..."

Speaking of this, Deputy Director Zhang's eyes revealed complex emotions.

Heartache, self-reproach for failing to be a good father and failing to shoulder a father's responsibility.

Anger, directed at the hundreds of criminals in Tazhai Village who manufacture and sell rock sugar.

Deputy Director Zhang wiped the corner of his eye.

A relieved smile appeared on his firm face.

"Young Brother Su Yun."

"Now you should be able to understand how remarkable your contribution is."

"For us..."

"The process is no longer important."

"The result, as long as it is good, is enough!"

"On behalf of the police department and personally, I express my sincere gratitude to you."

A Middle-aged Man in his forties.

A father as firm as iron.

A first-rank police supervisor in the police department.

After saying these words.

He raised his hand and gave a solemn and dignified salute to Su Yun!

This time.

Su Yun did not dodge or decline again.

He squarely accepted the respect shown by the man in front of him.

He knew.

This gesture was the gratitude of a father, on behalf of his son, toward a benefactor.

More than that, it contained the helplessness and distress of being unable to relieve the worries of the public while holding his position.

At this moment, Su Yun, as the junior, scratched his head and laughed.

"Deputy Director Zhang, helping the police solve cases is something every citizen of Huaxia should do."

"Within my capabilities, of course I won't back down..."

"But if you want me to face those criminals head-on, I really can't do it..."

"Hahaha..."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The few men in the office burst into hearty laughter.

The gloom and sorrowful atmosphere immediately dissipated.

The group sat down.

They reviewed and recorded the details regarding the Tazhai Village case.

Given the serious implications, it was reasonable for Deputy Director Zhang to attend.

As the meeting drew to a close.

Deputy Director Zhang patted Su Yun's shoulder.

He smiled and said, "Young Brother Su Yun, according to regulations, we plan to award you a Third Class Personal Merit!"

Huh?

Third Class Merit?

Su Yun looked a little confused.

"Deputy Director Zhang, uh... Have you made a mistake?"

"I am not an official member of your Police Bureau staff."

"This Third Class Personal Merit..."

"Don't worry, you deserve it!"

Before Su Yun could finish speaking, Deputy Director Zhang immediately offered an explanation.

"Actually, ordinary citizens can also receive a Third Class Personal Merit."

"It's just that such cases are rare, or even nonexistent..."

"Compared to the Third Class Personal Merit given to official Police Officers, the Third Class Personal Merit for citizens leans toward an honorary award."

"Of course, it is still a Third Class Personal Merit, and it can be recorded in your personal file!"

He understood.

To put it simply, Deputy Director Zhang and the others were trying to find ways to reward him.

Su Yun no longer declined.

At this moment, Director Chen stood up and said, "Brother Su Yun, it's rare to have free time today."

"Deputy Director Zhang and I would like to invite you to go fishing with us, if you would..."

Fishing?

One was the first-rank police supervisor Deputy Director Zhang, and the other was the Police Bureau Director.

Since they were inviting him, how could Su Yun refuse?

"I don't have any problem with that."

"It's just that..."

"Bureau Chief Chen, Deputy Director Zhang, you know I am currently participating in a show."

"So, the live broadcast cameras and such..."

"We don't mind!"

Bureau Chief Chen and Zhang Jianguo exchanged glances.

Su Yun agreeing was enough to make them happy.

What are cameras?

Whether they minded or not depended on who they were fishing with, right?

Who would have thought that Deputy Director Zhang and Director Chen would agree in unison?

Director Chen explained, "Don't worry, we won't go anywhere crowded or too far away."

"Behind our Longhai City Police Bureau, there is a decent-sized Wild River..."

"I've been there, and it's quite nice."
