Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 422 The Police's Holiday (Bonus Chapter 1)

You often say, "If you're in trouble, call the police," but sometimes you should also know that the police are not Superman, Iron Man, or the all-powerful Monkey King.

Police officers also feel fear, the fear that in the nick of time, as they desperately rush out, they might think of their own families. They, too, have elderly parents and young children to care for. Their wives, like ordinary housewives, prepare meals and wait for their husbands to come home.

Who isn't afraid of death?
But aren't the police afraid of being sacrificed?

Eighteen years ago, in the evening, at the hotel's ordering area.

A young man wearing black-rimmed glasses stood with his hands behind his back in front of a wall full of seafood tanks, while a waiter standing next to him bowed and smiled obsequiously.

The young man pointed outside the door and said casually, "Steam that big lobster next to your front door."

The waiter looked distressed and conflicted: "Boss, those lobsters are just for display for our customers, we probably won't sell them."

"Maybe? Then we can still sell them. Price isn't a problem." The young man smiled, patted the other person on the shoulder, and continued ordering. "Are your crabs plump?"

The waiter was taken aback and cautiously asked, "Boss, didn't you just order lobster? Why are you ordering crab too? Won't that be too strong a flavor?"

Glasses nodded: "Didn't you say earlier that you weren't selling lobsters? Okay, if you can sell them, bring out the crabs too. If you can't sell them, you should definitely bring out the crabs."

The waiter nodded repeatedly. He had seen many wealthy customers, but he had rarely seen such a young and rich person.

"Listen to the boss!"

The man with glasses instructed, "Today is our farewell dinner, so you have to keep an eye on the food and make sure it's all top-notch!"

"Don't worry, boss! You saw the lobsters when you came in. Only we have lobsters this fat. You couldn't find them anywhere else in the entire provincial capital! Our crabs are all hand-picked, and each one is still plump!"

"That's good."

"Boss, there are only four of you, so the dishes are almost enough. How about we add some staple food?"

Glasses Dots: "Yes, I'll have it. Then you can make abalone sauce rice, and use Dalian abalone."

The waiter was writing down the order form quickly, his hands moving fast while his mouth kept moving: "Boss, you have excellent taste! These abalone from Dalian are all air-freighted from us, they're so fresh!"

"Okay, let's get started once it's done."

After ordering the food, Glasses returned to the private room, where three equally young men were drinking tea and chatting.

The man sitting at the head of the table, who looked a bit older than his age, looked at the bespectacled man who had just entered and said with a smile, "I appreciate your kindness this time. Next time we all come to Zhuji, I'll treat you to a meal."

Glasses waved his hand and plopped down on the table, saying, "Dormitory leader, we've been roommates for three years, but you've always paid for everything when we go out. Now that we're graduating, it's finally my turn. I'm not going to spend all the money I've saved up over these three years."

"Haha. Okay, spend it all! And drink all the wine too!" The dorm leader said, pulling out a few bottles of Shaoxing rice wine from under the table and slamming them down on the table with a "bang".

"Dang Dang!"

"cheers!"

"We've finally graduated, and we're going back to our hometown to start working soon! Let's drink until we drop tonight!" Glasses stood up, laughing as he raised his glass high.

Another man, who looked rather thin, saw that he was sure he wouldn't be able to stop drinking tonight, so he quickly got up and closed the door.

"Haha, Lao Liu, with your cautiousness, you'd definitely succeed if you went to do anti-poisoning!" The bespectacled man shouted, holding a wine glass in his left hand and pointing at Lao Liu, known as "Skinny," who was closing the door. "Glasses! You haven't even had much to drink before you start acting crazy? Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid people won't know we're from a public college?" The dormitory head tapped the table with his knuckles and said seriously.

"Gongzhuan" is the abbreviation for Police Higher Vocational School, and it was also the predecessor of the Provincial Police Academy. Students who studied at this school were practically police officers from the moment they entered the school, just waiting for their three-year term to end so they could return to their hometowns to take up their posts.

"Hey, my dear dorm leader, this is the only time we can get together for drinks. Once we're scattered, who knows when we'll be able to gather a table together again. You better have some mercy and tone down your squad leader's arrogance tonight." The bespectacled guy, still standing, glanced sideways at their dorm leader, a wide smirk playing on his lips.

"Okay, I'll listen to you tonight. But what you said is wrong, you have to drink a penalty shot." The dormitory head gently put down his glass and continued, "We're all in the same province, we should at least make time to get together sometime during the year. The way you're talking makes it sound like we're all going our separate ways and never seeing each other again."

"Glasses Bro, since the dorm leader has spoken, you have to drink this!" A handsome young man sitting at the end of the table slammed his hand on the table and chimed in.

"Fourth Brother! You brat, you're always siding with outsiders! Who always protects you in the district team?" Glasses saw that Fourth Brother, who used to follow him around, had also jumped out and was trying to coax him into drinking.

However, the man in glasses was clearly a seasoned drinker. He laughed and scolded the fourth brother a few times before downing his drink in one gulp.

The fourth brother sitting next to him clapped his hands in praise. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the man known as the fourth brother was none other than Xu Mingliang, who would later become a bomb disposal expert in the Dongzhou Special Police Detachment.

At this moment, there were four people at the drinking party where Xu Mingliang was, including the dormitory head sitting at the head of the table, who was also the squad leader of their squad.

Because of his cautious nature, the young man who closed the door was always the one who cleaned up the messes when the other roommates made mistakes or got into trouble.

The bespectacled man, who stood and shouted, had an outgoing personality. However, it was said that because his family was somewhat wealthy, he had never suffered any hardship growing up and was always the most active person wherever he went.

As for the fourth brother, Xu Mingliang, when everyone else was nine years old when they started first grade, he started school at the age of seven. He attended a five-year primary school, so when he later went to a public college, he became the youngest one.

He naturally became the fourth son.

After a long time of toasting and drinking, the dormitory head took out a new pack of cigarettes from his pocket, unpacked it, and threw it on the table for everyone to smoke.

He casually asked, "What departments did you all go to after you got back? Oh, by the way, let me tell you, my family arranged for me to work in the traffic police. Don't laugh yet, being a traffic police officer is a lucrative job where I'm from. Even though it's just an auxiliary police position, you really can't get in without paying at least 100,000 yuan!"

"It's just one stop away, what's with all the arrogance from you, dorm leader? And speaking of which, how can a squad leader be so petty? Always calculating about money. Vulgar!" The man in glasses, drunk and disregarding the dorm leader's dignity, immediately slapped him in the face, reached over to grab the cigarette pack on the table, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Xu Mingliang next to him.

"Thanks, bro."

In the past, apart from Xu Mingliang, the other three of the four roommates would get together every few days to smoke and chat. Every time Xu Mingliang shamelessly tried to join in, he was pushed away by the others because he was too young.

The fact that Glasses was able to hand over the cigarette this time clearly showed that he acknowledged the growth of the fourth brother, Xu Mingliang.

Xu Mingliang excitedly took the cigarette and asked, "Glasses Bro, your family is so rich, they'll definitely pull some strings to get you a good position when we get back! Where is it? Tell us so we can see for ourselves."

Upon hearing this, the other two also looked over with curiosity.

They could sense that the guy with glasses was rich. In an era where pagers were common, apart from a few famous thugs, this guy was the only one in the entire school who swaggered around with a mobile phone on his first day of school.

At this moment, Glasses picked up his wine glass alone, stared at the old yellow wine in the glass, and swirled his hand, causing small ripples to slowly spread in the glass.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, then slammed the cup down heavily on the table with a "bang".

"Haha! I'm going to join the SWAT team to do bomb disposal! I'm going to defuse bombs!"
