Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 834 Municipal Bureau
Dongzhou City, Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Those who can make decisions here truly stand at the pinnacle of Dongzhou.

This is one of the few such positions in a prefecture-level city with a population of several million along China's coast. Anyone sitting in this position would be incredibly arrogant.

The phrase "a dragon among men" is simply insufficient to describe them.

Besides their own exceptional abilities, the right timing, favorable location, and harmonious relationships are all indispensable, and in fact, they must be maximized.

The bureau chiefs come and go, but the executive deputy bureau chief remains constant. Those who understand the mystery will naturally understand, and those who don't will gradually come to understand.

Speaking of the executive director of Dongzhou, Deputy Director Wang has a round face that looks like he's always on the lookout for people. He always has a friendly smile on his face when he meets grassroots cadres, police officers, and the public.

If you think this deputy director is just a kind and approachable old leader who can chatter away to anyone he meets, you're sorely mistaken.

A quick look at Director Wang's resume reveals that several major events and cases with far-reaching impact always emerged at the crucial junctures before each of his promotions.

Thanks to his decisive handling, each situation was resolved smoothly.

For example, in the hostage situation at the old train station, the perpetrator was visibly insane and prepared to die with the hostage.

As the on-site commander, Director Wang decisively stepped forward and made the heroic decision to exchange hostages, thus buying precious time for the final killing of the perpetrators.

In the Dongting train crash incident, he led a group of special police officers, resisting pressure from higher-level units and even his direct superiors, and refused the expert group's decision to bury the carriages on the spot.

Through his persistence, the little girl, barely alive, was eventually found in the ruins, and she was pulled back from the brink of death. This incident sparked a trend online, earning her the nickname "Miracle Girl."

The most impressive thing was how they handled the anti-b incident last year.

At that time, Donghai Province had been at peace for a long time, and the entire province had not experienced any violent incidents for decades. On the other hand, the importance of handling this first anti-riot incident was self-evident.

Besides those in the main hall, it's said that even the bigwigs in the company headquarters are keeping an eye on this area.

Under such circumstances, Director Wang at the time resolutely overturned the conservative, superficial, and ultimately ineffective isolation and encirclement tactics.

He risked his political career for the rest of his life, releasing the violent elements who were almost under his control, and finally eliminating their hidden hideout in Dongzhou City.

Any one of these three events could be a legendary story, yet in just a few short years, Wang Ju, who was seen by others as someone who only knew how to be cheerful, managed to take on all of them.

As a result, his reputation and status in the police force rose rapidly until they reached their peak.

But only those who truly understand Director Wang know why all of this is happening.

"Chen Shu!"

Director Wang, who had been comfortably leaning back in his sturdy boss chair, suddenly sat up straight and slammed his teacup down on the table.

With a hiss.

Some of the tea in the cup was splashed out and scattered on the ground.

"Good heavens, he's been gone for over ten days, doesn't he want to come back? He even went on a trip to Myanmar! Does he not want his first-class merit award? No, no matter what, I won't approve it."

First-class merit awards are rare, extremely rare, while those who are still alive and kicking are even rarer. Add to that first-class merit awards for fighting for the country in the fight against terrorism and other emergencies, and those are even rarer.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a living fossil.

Normally, a first-class merit award would involve posting the person's photo on the wall and then awarding it posthumously.

So when the ministry's document came out, Director Wang, who had the final say in the bureau, instructed the office to make it a grand affair and to handle it according to the highest standards.

Most importantly, this award ceremony took a lot of effort from the bureau.

On the day of the award ceremony, Chen Shu unexpectedly abandoned the city bureau leaders who came to congratulate him and the middle-level cadres who came to learn from his example, and went to Yunnan Province for tourism.

This shelf is absolutely enormous.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone in the leadership team knew he was Director Wang's favorite and lucky charm, it would have been a huge joke.

"Director Wang, here is the document."

Liaison officer Xiao Mao handed another document to Director Wang, who was excitedly spitting as he spoke. At the top of the document was a line that read, "Relevant information about Chen Shu and others' trip to Myanmar."

According to normal procedures, if a police officer in the bureau needs to apply for permission to go abroad, there is an approval order from low to high. For example, for police officers in police stations, it is handled by the station's instructor and the duty officer of the branch bureau. It is relatively simple, as it is approved by these two people.

If the organization is under the municipal bureau, for example, if a police officer under the branch needs to go out, the report must be submitted level by level, and the highest level will be the duty officer of the municipal bureau.

Finally, it all comes down to the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau; that's pretty much the procedure.

Generally speaking, there's no need to specifically report it to the executive deputy director of the municipal bureau.

However, Chen Shu is too famous, so his trip will eventually be handed over to Director Wang.

Director Wang glanced down and immediately knew what it was about. Back then, Chen Shu had sneaked off to Myanmar, and it was only through an internal meeting of their municipal bureau leadership that a formal document was issued. Otherwise, Chen Shu would have been in for a world of trouble.

For someone to simply cross the border illegally, taking off their clothes and leaving is considered a light offense.

Director Wang took the document, then casually tossed it aside, jokingly saying, "Is this guy a monkey? Always running around like this, he'll cause me big trouble sooner or later. No approval, no matter what this time. Make him obediently roll back to Dongzhou."

Chen Shu, this name has become a legend passed down by word of mouth among the younger generation of police officers in Dongzhou Public Security Bureau.

Since he joined the police force, he has been involved in almost every major case and incident in the city.

Whether facing vicious criminals or powerful superiors, Chen Shu always manages to do things that ordinary people dare not do, thanks to his extraordinary wisdom and courage.

Even those fearless young police officers, after reviewing the incident, couldn't confidently say that they could have done a better job than Chen Shu.

There are even some things that they wouldn't even dare to think about, let alone do.

To sum up their emotions, there are only two words: envy and admiration.

Liaison officer Xiao Mao reminded him, "Chen Shu is at the Zhengming Branch. Their Exit-Entry Administration Bureau has already approved this application."

Director Wang was taken aback at first, then slowly came up with an idea.

Since the procedures have already been completed, it would be too beneath him, as a standing official of the municipal bureau, to interfere and reject it; that would be beneath his dignity.

However, Chen Shu has always been his lucky charm, bringing him unexpected benefits wherever he goes.

Why not go with the flow and find some excuse to trap him? Who knows what unexpected surprises he might receive when he returns?

Last time this kid went to northern Myanmar, didn't he catch a super rich bald guy? I heard that the amount of money involved in the case recovered afterwards reached millions.

The more Director Wang thought about it, the more he realized it made sense.

Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

Where is this favorable wind?
Liaison officer Xiao Mao gently pushed the document that Director Wang had tossed onto the table back, reminding him, "Director Wang, there's another document inside."

"Oh, another one? What document?"

"This time, the Zhengming Branch Bureau, acting on instructions from the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment, set up a special task force targeting online gambling companies in northern Myanmar. The task force leader is their Executive Deputy Director, Zhang Xuming, and the deputy leader is Chen Shuren."

"Ha!" Director Wang couldn't help but burst out laughing, thinking that this Xiao Zhang from the Zhengming Branch, who jumped out at this moment to join the special task force in Myanmar, must have the same idea as him.

No wonder he's in executive positions; his mind is really sharp!

The liaison officer, Xiao Mao, immediately stopped talking and asked in confusion, "Director Wang, what's going on?"

"Nothing much, I just feel this document came at the perfect time. Ah, no, those guys from the Criminal Investigation Department who only know how to do nothing, no, those who only know how to give instructions, have finally done something decent." Director Wang said, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.

He stood up abruptly and walked around the office a few times.

"Xiao Mao, draft a document. Say that in order to effectively combat telecom fraud, our municipal bureau has taken the lead in organizing a special task force targeting online gambling companies in northern Myanmar. I am the team leader, and you can meet with Lao Shu from the criminal branch to decide on the deputy team leader.

"Go quickly, we need to report this to the department later."

After saying that, Director Wang revealed a satisfied smile.

Before leaving, Xiao Mao secretly glanced at the document that had been tossed on the table again, and thought to himself: This deputy team leader, didn't he already make that decision?
