Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 530 Reunion
Kunxi Villa.

As evening fell, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the horse farm.

Inside the arena, Mo Wanqiu and Cai Xiaojing, dressed in equestrian outfits, rode two expensive black horses and, under the guidance of an equestrian coach, were jumping over obstacles in front of them.

Lin Chen, Qiao Xue, Chu Yang, and Fang Yonghui stood with their hands hanging down on the stable, watching the little colt in front of them with great interest.

The pony's coat was as smooth and shiny as silk, with a pale gold metallic texture and a gradient of shimmering color; it was simply gorgeous.

Fang Yonghui had previously stolen a carrot from the kitchen and was hesitating whether to feed it to Xiao Ma.

Seeing that he was about to start feeding, Lin Chen immediately stopped him, saying, "Are you crazy? Don't feed him like that."

"What's wrong?" Fang Yonghui quickly pulled his hand back.

Do you know what kind of horse this is?

"I think it's pretty, so I'll feed it a carrot. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Lin Chen rolled his eyes: "Let me tell you, this is a damn Akhal-Teke foal, it'll grow up to be an Akhal-Teke horse!"

"Huh?" Fang Yonghui was startled.

Qiao Xue and Chu Yang were also astonished: "A Ferghana horse?"

Lin Chen nodded: "I just heard Uncle Nongshan mention that this horse was a birthday gift that Boss Mo bought for Luo Xiaomin."

The foal is a girl, and the offspring of an Olympic champion. We have DNA proof of kinship. Do you know how much it costs?

"How much?" Fang Yonghui and the other two asked in unison.

Lin Chen made an eight-shaped hand gesture: "Eight million!"

"Hiss..." Fang Yonghui took a deep breath.

Qiao Xue and Chu Yang kept smacking their lips.

Lin Chen continued, "The air freight and quarantine fees for this foal alone cost over two hundred thousand!"

She pointed to the stables in the distance: "That's a temperature-controlled stable. The temperature and humidity are carefully controlled. The cost for a year is higher than our income for two years of work!"

Not to mention the customized nutritional meals, the physical therapy team, and the professional training costs for these horses.

"Damn!" Fang Yonghui took a bite of carrot: "Our Luo Da's daughter was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. The price of one of her horses is more than we can earn in a lifetime."

Chu Yang also sighed deeply: "Who can argue with that? Some people are born in Rome."

The four people looked up at Cai Xiaojing, who was riding a horse, waving a whip, and galloping around the stable.

Running up to them, Cai Xiaojing smiled and asked, "Would you like to ride a couple of laps?"

The four men immediately shook their heads, their faces showing forced smiles.

After Cai Xiaojing rode away on horseback, Fang Yonghui said in a low voice, "Now I understand. If I were Captain Cai, I would resign too. With such a rich family, why be a policeman?"

Lin Chen said sullenly, "To be honest, Xiao Mo is really cunning. If, as Sister Qiao analyzed, she uses Captain Cai to force our boss Luo to resign and take off his uniform, I think our boss Luo will definitely compromise."

Qiao Xue nodded: "Judging from this situation, it's not just President Mo who's planning this; Captain Cai might have the same idea too."

As long as President Luo takes off his uniform and transforms into an ordinary person.

Xiao Mo is not worried that he will become too famous and attract unwanted attention, or that something bad will happen to him.

"Those two women must have planned this all along; they're specifically targeting our CEO, Mr. Luo."

Fang Yonghui laughed and said, "Our Luo Da is really in trouble, being schemed against by these two shrewd women."

Qiao Xue rolled her eyes at him: "Give me a break, you call this suffering? This is your dream, isn't it?"

Chu Yang said, "If things really continue like this, we need to think about ourselves. What will we do if the team leader really resigns? Anyway, Sister Qiao and I want to go back to Haidong Province."

Fang Yonghui nodded: "I also want to go back. Either I can work with Li Nong or Kang Bolin. If I can work with Qinggui Chen Hao, that would be the best."

Lin Chen looked at Cai Xiaojing and Mo Wanqiu with a distressed expression and said, "I really want to ride a horse, but I don't know if I'll ever have the chance."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xue put her arm around her shoulder and said, "Don't overthink it. You are the daughter of Wu Sheng."

Lin Chen pouted: "I'm not in the mood anymore. I'm going to go play with Luo Xiaomin and see if she can call me 'stepmother'."

Qiao Xue rolled her eyes: "This girl has gone crazy. She probably wants to be a nun in the future. You two should find her a boyfriend as soon as possible to make her give up this evil thought!"

Fang Yonghui quickly shook his head: "Who is worthy of her? The people I know are so scared that they run out of Yumen Pass as soon as they hear that she is Wu Sheng's daughter."

In the evening, the four of them had a lavish dinner with Luo Rui and others, and then drove away, with Cai Xiaojing also leaving with them.

----------

Haijiang Branch, Guangxing City, Haidong Province.

Yang Zixiong walked into the guardhouse and put the screwdriver and the few light tubes he had replaced into the toolbox.

The old guard, who was sipping his tea, glanced at him and asked, "Has the light in the conference room been changed?"

Yang Zixiong nodded: "It's been replaced. I took a look, and the wiring on the ceiling is all old. It's best to rewire it to avoid any safety hazards."

The old guard handed him a cigarette: "Don't go to logistics about this, go to Director Du."

"I know." Yang Zixiong took the cigarette, sat down in the chair, and dusted off the dust on his knees.

“I’m telling you, we’re just security guards, we just need to do our jobs. But you, you’re being asked to do all sorts of odd jobs, like electrician and plumber…”

Yang Zixiong smiled and said, "Anyway, we're all just gatekeepers, so we have nothing else to do."

The old guard frowned: "You think I'm praising you? We gatekeepers are officially employed, and haven't you seen how these people in the bureau treat you?"

Yang Zixiong fell silent. He took out a lighter from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.

"The way you're doing this makes everyone else look useless, don't you understand? I'm retiring, so it doesn't matter to me, but what will those guards think of you?"

And what do those people in the logistics department think of you?

Let me tell you, even the people in my workplace who deliver water, vegetables, or are cleaning ladies all have connections.

I'm just reminding you, you'd better be careful not to try to do everything yourself.

Let me tell you, you did the electrician's job. Do you even know who called the electrician before?

"That person is our brigade leader Tian Guanghan's uncle. And do you know who delivered the bottled water? That's Deputy Brigade Leader Su Mingyuan's childhood friend."

Yang Zixiong gave an awkward laugh.

The old guard sighed: "You're too honest. You were transferred to our unit half a year ago, and you've been like a silent gourd, never saying a word. We don't even know where you came from."

Let me tell you, our captain Tian Guanghan and deputy captain Su Mingyuan both used to work with Luo Yanwang.

"You know who King Yama is, right?"

Yang Zixiong nodded: "I know him."

"This person is no ordinary person. When I first met him, he was still a high school student and had become the leader of the criminal investigation team at our branch office."

Our former team leader, Cai, helped us solve so many major cases.

Captain Cai, you don't know her? She's the most beautiful policewoman in Haidong Province.

Besides them, there were also Captain Tian and Deputy Captain Su. They had been back for several years and had both been promoted several ranks. This was all thanks to the merits and seniority they gained by following Luo Yanwang in solving major cases.

"Right now, of those who left our Haijiang branch, only Chief Chu Yang is still working for Luo Yanwang. He used to be in our criminal investigation team, and now he's a section chief in the Yunnan Provincial Department!"

Yang Zixiong laughed and said, "Are they all that capable?"

The old guard lit a cigarette for himself: "Of course, they've seen all kinds of cases. Just take that big case they cracked in Shahe County, which involved the largest fishing company in Haidong Province trafficking drugs."

They actually got the eldest one, the one everyone used to call brother-in-law, into jail. Isn't that amazing?
Xiao Yang, any case I mention is a major one.

But they all risked their lives. There were those who died during that time. I heard about a detective who worked with Luo Yanwang, I think he was from Shahe County, who died fighting with criminals. His wounds were... ugh..."

Yang Zixiong squinted and replied, "Qi Lei."

"what?"

"This policeman's name is Qi Lei. He encountered heavily armed drug traffickers in the shopping mall. He is a hero!"

The old guard raised an eyebrow: "How do you know so much?"

Because I was there at the time... Yang Zixiong threw his cigarette butt into the ashtray, stood up, and said, "I'm going to sweep the yard outside. Didn't they say a leader is coming to inspect tomorrow?"

The old guard waved his hand: "You never listen to me."

Yang Zixiong walked out of the duty room, picked up the editor-in-chief's broom from the corner, and prepared to sweep up the fallen leaves next to the flower bed.

He sighed slightly as he watched the police officers emerge from the building.

Although they both wear uniforms, they are doing two different types of work.

Since returning to Haidong Province and being assigned to work at the Haijiang Branch Bureau by his superiors, Yang Zixiong has adopted a different lifestyle.

This was a world of difference from his life in Hong Kong. Back then, he was constantly risking his life. Even when he went to a street food stall for a meal, he had to be on guard against his enemies rushing in to avoid being hacked to death.

That's right, it's all about hacking and slashing with a bunch of knives. This kind of gangster-style hacking is what gangsters love most.

If the police catch them, they won't punish everyone because everyone was involved. As for who delivered the fatal blow and killed the person, I have no idea.

If the police don't catch anyone, and the boss rewards them for their efforts, then everyone gets a share.

It's true what they say, those who live on the streets all have their own ways of doing things, and there are unspoken rules everywhere.

As Yang Zixiong's reputation grew and he established himself through his fists, he began to deal with desperate criminals, all of whom had blood on their hands—hitmen, drug traffickers, or sworn enemies of the underworld.

After all these years, he finally ended his undercover career at the Beishan Tea Plantation in Yunnan Province.

Reflecting on these experiences, Yang Zixiong sighed deeply.

Since returning, he has felt a sense of calm, an overwhelming sense of calm.

Now I don't have to live in fear and trepidation, nor do I have to open the toilet door a crack when I'm using it, and I don't have to check if there's a back door when I go to a restaurant.

Although a simple life is nice, Yang Zixiong always felt that something was missing.

I always feel like I don't fit in with the people in my workplace.

Moreover, whenever he suffered from insomnia at night, the thought of returning to Hong Kong would even cross his mind.

The thought was so terrifying that he couldn't sleep well for several days.

He could only soothe the terrible thoughts in his mind by constantly engaging in physical labor.

I am a soldier, not a thief!

Those things are in the past; they can only be swept away into the corner of our memories!
Yang Zixiong took a broom and vigorously swept the fallen leaves into a pile on the ground, then pushed a large green trash can from the corner of the garbage.

Just then, a figure passed by him: "Old Yang, busy, huh?"

Yang Zixiong looked up and saw that it was the brigade leader, Tian Guanghan.

"Team Leader Tian, ​​what's up?"

Tian Guanghan touched the hair at the back of his head. He used to be bald. He had a fierce expression, which was fine for a front-line criminal police officer. He could at least intimidate suspects.

Now that he is in charge of the battalion, he bought a wig to wear on his head.

You can't go to a meeting in the city with a big bald head; if the leaders see it, they'll definitely find it annoying.

Tian Guanghan took out a box of Yuxi cigarettes, pulled out one, and handed it to Yang Zixiong.

"I've been so busy. I haven't had much time to chat with you since you came. How's work? Are you settling in?"

Yang Zixiong took the cigarette and nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Captain Tian. I'm fine."

"Not bad, is it?" Tian Guanghan frowned and said in a low voice, "Only a few people in our bureau know about your situation. You should enjoy yourself."

If you want to change jobs, I can help you, but I'm not capable of assigning you to a frontline position.

Yang Zixiong waved his hand and said sincerely, "This is good, really good."

"Alright, I'm off to work now. If you have any questions, just let me know." Tian Guanghan waved and walked towards the criminal investigation team building.

Yang Zixiong glanced at his back, and when he turned around, there was a car parked outside the gate.

He was very familiar with the license plate of this car; it belonged to Wei Qunshan.

Wei Qunshan is no longer the director of the Haijiang branch; he has been transferred to the Guangxing City Public Security Bureau, where he will partner with Hu Changyu.

The old guard on duty had already recognized whose car it was. He quickly pressed the remote control in his hand, opened the gate, and then ran out.

But the car didn't drive in; it remained parked outside.

The old guard walked to the back seat and asked something in a humble manner.

Then, the car door opened, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Yang Zixiong.

This person was none other than Bao Tianqiang.

He was dressed in a Tang suit and wore a straw sun hat. He strode towards Yang Zixiong while laughing loudly.

Yang Zixiong gripped the broom handle tightly, a warm feeling inexplicably welling up inside him.

Just like the car wash guy, who finally got his older brother released from prison.

Bao Tianqiang walked up to Yang Zixiong, looked him over carefully, and then hugged him tightly.

"Damn it, are you really just a gatekeeper?"

Yang Zixiong blinked, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and asked, "Brother Qiang, what brings you here?"

Since returning to Haidong Province, the two have never seen each other again, and they don't know each other's phone numbers or addresses.

Bao Tianqiang looked at him carefully, wiped his eyes, and asked, word by word, "Brother, are you willing to work with me again?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Zixiong was startled: "W-Where are you going?"

"Of course, we'll do what we're used to!"

Bao Tianqiang laughed and said, "This time we're going to be undercover agents for King Yama Luo. So tell me, are you willing to come with me?"
