Siheyuan, Shazhu: I have both parents in this life

Chapter 216 Showy Operation

After leaving Huo Sheng, He Yuzhu went directly to Yu Zecheng's newspaper office. He hadn't seen the old man for over a year and wondered how he was doing now.

This time, instead of waiting at the door, he made a phone call inside, saying he was looking for 'Chen Zecheng'.

After the call was connected, He Yuzhu only said two words: "deep sea".

"Who are you?" Yu Zecheng was so shocked that he almost dropped the microphone, and whispered while covering the microphone.

“I’m right outside your newspaper office. Come out and let’s talk.”

"it is good."

After Yu Zecheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone and ran to ask the editor-in-chief for leave. He planned to leave through the back door.

After making the call, He Yuzhu went into the newspaper office. He then saw Yu Zecheng run downstairs, casually glance at the main entrance, and calmly walk towards the back door.

Seeing Yu Zecheng like this, He Yuzhu smiled. This old rascal still thought he was over there.

Then he followed them, but before he had gone far, Yu Zecheng suddenly turned around, pressed a pen against his chin, and growled at He Yuzhu, "I will not go back with you."

"Go back where?" He Yuzhu shrugged helplessly. This old guy was quite alert.

"You weren't sent from over there?"

"Which way?"

Don't play dumb with me.

"Alright, put down your pen. I have no interest in taking you with me. I come from the north."

"I do not believe."

"Then I'll name a few: Chen Taohua, Farmer, and Old Zhao."

"who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am. I have a new task for you to complete."

"What mission?"

"Join the Hong Kong Police Force."

"What for? What does the organization want?"

"You're overthinking it. Gather intelligence and develop your personnel."

"Was it the farmer's order?"

"Comrade Farmer has passed away."

When did this happen? And why?

He died of illness in 1963.

"I'm so old, how can I join the police force?"

"Someone will contact you, don't be surprised."

"What else do you have to prove your identity?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment, then took out the box containing the First-Class Combat Hero medal from his pocket and tossed it over. There was no other way; all the other items had names on them, and now was not the time to acknowledge each other.

Yu Zecheng opened the box, glanced at it, immediately closed it again, and continued to ask, "Did you send that mustachioed guy more than a year ago?"

“He’s not part of the organization; I just asked him to find someone.”

"Were you the one who left the letter back then?"

"it's me."

"Cuiping, is she...is she alright?"

"very good."

"Siyu is."

"Your daughter, she's doing well too."

"That's good, that's good." Yu Zecheng was moved to tears.

"Here, take this back." Yu Zecheng put away the pen and handed back the box containing the medal with both hands.

But the closer he got, the more he looked at He Yuzhu, the more he felt something was wrong. It had been twenty years. If this was the person who left the letter back then, how old was he?
However, he didn't ask. There were many talented and extraordinary people in that era, and this person looked young, but who knew how old he was?

He Yuzhu thought the medicine was just to improve his physical condition, but he didn't expect that after he turned 18, his physical condition would not improve, but it would slow down aging. He now looks like he is only 25 or 26 years old.

"You were sent by the organization, my superior?"

"Yes." Having already expressed his emotions, He Yuzhu could only continue acting.

“Good, good, we’ve finally made contact again. What’s your name? How should we contact each other in the future?” He Yuzhu saw a glimmer of hope in Yu Zecheng’s eyes.

"My surname is Fang. I will contact you later."

"it is good."

"Are you having any difficulties in your life? I can help you with that."

"Can I see them?"

"When the time is right, I will arrange for you to meet."

"Thank you, thank you!" Yu Zecheng tightly grasped He Yuzhu's hands with both of his, his fingers turning white from the force, and his lips trembling.

When he heard about the mother and daughter for the second time, he believed it. He couldn't believe he could actually see them; he knew very well what kind of situation they were in.

"This is what we should do." He Yuzhu felt that he really owed her something. According to the guy on TV who contacted Yu Zecheng, he kept fooling Yu Zecheng. Yu Zecheng thought that Wang Cuiping was really unreachable or that she was dead.

"Thank you!"

"By the way, don't leave the newspaper office during this time; someone will contact you."

"it is good."

"I am leaving."

Goodbye, comrade.

"Goodbye."

He Yuzhu did this because he had figured it out over the past year. He realized that he was already out of prison, so why should he still impose so many rules and regulations on himself? He was also thinking about his descendants when he made money and acquired land; he wasn't a saint.

Those people are skilled enough to predict what happened in the past. Who cares what will happen in ten or even twenty years? At worst, we can just find a place to retire.

Of course, he will contribute if the country needs him, but it won't be the same as before; things can't go back to the way they were.

After driving home, He Yuzhu talked to Wang Cuiping.

"Aunt Ping, would you be interested in becoming a police officer?"

"Police? Am I that old to be patrolling the streets with other people?"

"No, that kid Orion asked me the other day who trained the security personnel, and I said it was you. He wants to invite you to work at the police academy."

"Police academy? Training those greenhorns?"

"Yes, there should also be a blonde girl."

"You are the only one with a poor mouth."

"It's not impossible. Anyway, I have nothing to do at home. I can train the current squad leaders in security. After all, many of them are real combat veterans. I'm just a combination of guerrilla tactics and reconnaissance skills. By the way, is the police academy the same as the one in China?"

"I'm not sure either, but it's probably about the same. They're only a small area, not even as big as Beijing. You could easily teach them more than enough."

"Give me a position, don't make me have to salute a bunch of little kids every time I see them."

"I'm not sure about that yet. If the price is too low, we won't go. I'll ask Orion later."

"Well, you should try to avoid causing trouble in the future, or you might get caught by my disciples and their followers."

"You overestimate them. Besides, I'm a law-abiding citizen."

"Go away, stop teasing me. But you'd better obey the law from now on."

"When the police can really solve the problem, I will definitely abide by the law. That will depend on your future disciples and grand-disciples," He Yuzhu joked.

"Get lost."

"okay."

After the mother and daughter finished talking, He Yuzhu went straight back to his study and then dialed Orian's number.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Orion, it's me."

"He, why did you suddenly decide to call me? Have you run into some trouble?"

Can't you think of me in a better way?

"Hahaha."

"I asked about that thing you mentioned last time, and it's okay."

"what's up?"

"Instructor Huang Zhukeng".

"Yes, yes, your elder agreed?"

"Yes, I also found someone for you, who's a bit older, I don't know if you'd like him?"

"What are you good at?"

"Counter-torture, undercover investigation, intelligence gathering, and many more."

"Where did you find such a high-caliber talent?"

"Don't ask that. Do you want it or not?"

"Yes, yes, of course I want it. Wait for me to apply for two special recruitment slots."

"I can't afford to be too low-ranking; I can't afford to lose face like that."

"I can't guarantee that, but I'm sure I'll get the position of inspector. As for whether I can get a higher one, that will depend on the interview and assessment." "Inspector? I guess so. Chief Inspector would be more like it."

"Heh, I worked my way up to chief inspector over a decade ago, this is definitely not going to work."

"Go ahead and apply. I'll wait for your reply. Please send me the person's information later."

"Okay, I'll have someone send it to you."

A few days later, Yu Zecheng received a phone call, and Orian personally picked him up early the next morning.

Upon seeing Orian, Yu Zecheng was quite bewildered. How did a foreigner come along? Was his new online friend really that powerful?
“Mr. Chen, my friend He, let me introduce you. It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Orian Trench.”

“Hello, Mr. Trench!” Old Yu actually replied in English.

But a thought began to churn in his mind: "What? Could it be Comrade Fang?"

"you know English?"

"I know a little." Yu Zecheng regained his composure.

"That's great, that's a bonus."

"Is it?"

"The police force's upper management are all English, so it's inevitable that they'll use English when reporting on their work."

"Yes, I've had contact with people from the Ugly country before, and I've learned some things from them."

"Could you tell me where it is?"

"The north." Yu Zecheng lied; he only made contact with it after going to the south.

"Oh, what did you do before?"

"He's a policeman too."

"So how did you end up working at the newspaper?"

"At my age, I can't get into the police system. No police station would want a fifty-year-old middle-aged person."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it."

"It's ok."

"Let's go, I'll take you to the interview."

"Thank you!"

Upon arriving at the Wong Chuk Hang Police Academy, after the introduction, the academy dispatched its best officers to conduct a three-hour interview with Yu Zecheng. The veteran officer's exceptional psychological qualities and keen insight allowed him to overcome one linguistic trap after another set by the four interviewers, and he even outsmarted them.

Then the interviewers had the students pretend to be robbers and hostages, but Lao Yu didn't hesitate and saw through it in a few glances.

During the negotiations, the person pretending to be a robber almost believed he was one, and after confessing, he cried terribly.

Afterwards, the examiners in charge of the assessment asked Orion questions.

"Chief Inspector Orion, where did you find such a capable person? This is someone specially prepared for the interrogation and negotiation departments."

"Hahaha, a friend introduced him. Zhou Sir, you'll have no problem being an instructor at your school, right?" Aoli had been watching the whole time. Yu Zecheng's performance could only be described as amazing. When he first met this ordinary man, he was worried about whether the person He Yuzhu introduced was capable or not.

As a result, the other person came over and casually showed off a couple of skills, completely crushing the police academy students.

If He Yuzhu knew, he would only tell them they were ignorant, that they were not on the same level, and what the other person did.

“It’s not just no problem, this kind of person could go straight to the front line. Are you really willing to send him to our police academy?” said Zhou Guodong, the principal of the police academy.

"They're getting older and think the police academy is better. Of course, if we run into problems and need to borrow them, you have to let them go."

"No problem, no problem. So how should his police rank be determined?"

“Originally an inspector, with such high praise from you, if it were all written in the report, he would probably be a senior inspector.”

"That would be best, as we can directly mentor those trainee inspectors."

"Oh, right, another instructor is coming to interview tomorrow. You've pretty much finished evaluating him, so I'll head over to the HR department now. After all, I was the one who recommended him. When can I get your interview report?"

"He's writing it now, it'll be done soon. His performance is so brilliant, there's so much that's hard to put on paper."

"Try to write as much as you can."

"Ok."

The onboarding process went smoothly, and HR didn't give him too much trouble because Orion had received special approval from the top leader.

The next day, Yu Zecheng went to report for duty. He wanted to quickly familiarize himself with the new environment so that he could complete the new tasks assigned to him by his superiors.

When I arrived, all the instructors at the school were very welcoming, especially the ones who interviewed me yesterday. Of course, there were also some who I didn't like, like the foreign instructors at the school, but they had connections.

Instead of assigning him any tasks, the principal asked him to sit in on an interview.

When the interviewee came in, Yu Zecheng's mind went blank.

Only one thought crossed my mind: "How could it be her?"

He almost shouted it out on the spot, but he held back.

When Wang Cuiping saw Yu Zecheng, she almost couldn't hold back her tears. Her mind was racing: "How could it be him? He's in Hong Kong too? What a coincidence!"

"Ms. Wang, Ms. Wang?" the examiner called to Wang Cuiping, who was in a daze.

"Oh, what did you just say?"

"You're daydreaming. Can we start the interview now?"

"Okay," Wang Cuiping said, taking a deep breath.

"it is good."

The next steps were similar to those for Yu Zecheng, but the focus was slightly different. Wang Cuiping was good at arrests and investigations, and while she wasn't exactly bad at negotiation and interrogation, she was still a bit lacking compared to Yu Zecheng.

However, after Wang Cuiping defeated several instructors who taught the police academy students combat skills, these people were convinced. Although she broke the school's record in pistol shooting, it was almost there, after all, she had trained on the heads of Japanese soldiers and spies.

Yu Zecheng watched the whole thing together, and in his eyes, he seemed to see Wang Cuiping from twenty years ago: a pipe, a sniper rifle, a grenade, and the unrecognizable farewell at the airport. So his eyes welled up with tears.

He secretly wiped away his tears. He wasn't sure if they could recognize each other; he needed to ask his superiors.

After Wang Cuiping finished her assessment, the police academy was quite satisfied. She was basically an instructor for all subjects. The female students at the police academy even regarded her as an idol, hoping to become such a capable policewoman in the future.

What followed was similar to what Yu Zecheng said yesterday.

On the way, Wang Cuiping asked Orian, "Do you know all the instructors at the police academy?"

"Pretty much, Ms. Wang."

"What's the name of that guy with small eyes and glasses?"

"Oh, why are you interested in him? I happen to know him. I recommended him. His name is Chen Zecheng. He's from the north, just like you. He was just interviewed yesterday."

"You recommended it too?"

"Yes, He introduced him to me a few days ago. You know him?"

"It just looks familiar. I'll ask Afei when I get back."

"Oh, it might be a little late. You still need to come with me to complete the onboarding process."

"no problem."

When she got home, Wang Cuiping went straight to find He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, you've kept this from me for so long!"

"Did you see it?"

Tell me, how did you find him?

"I found it by having Da Mao put up an ad."

"Given his personality, how could he possibly trust Da Mao?"

"I told him to use Chen Taohua, didn't I?"

"How do you know this name? Did Old Zhao tell you? That doesn't make sense either. What's the use of just having this name?"

“I also used ‘deep sea’.”

"Team Leader Fang told you? How is that possible? This is top secret."

He Yuzhu shrugged, offering no explanation.

"Why did you arrange for him to go to the police academy?" Knowing she wouldn't get an answer, Wang Cuiping changed her question.

"Isn't that great? It's creating opportunities for you guys."

"I... Siyu and I aren't ready yet."

"Aunt Ping, you've waited for twenty years."

"Ke Siyu?"

"She'll understand. She's a grown woman now. Why don't you just treat it as getting to know her again and have a twilight romance?"

"Get lost, you brat, how dare you joke with me?" Wang Cuiping immediately tried to twist He Yuzhu's ear.

“Aunt Ping, I’m telling the truth. There must have been many unfinished business between you twenty years ago,” He Yuzhu said with a quick laugh, dodging the question.

"Don't tell anyone in the family. We'll talk about it after I've dealt with things here."

"I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" He Yuzhu said.

"You're so irresponsible! You're a father of three, how can you still be so unruly?" Wang Cuiping said with a laugh.

"That depends on who you are. You're my aunt, but others don't get this treatment."

"I'm having a hard time accepting this treatment," Wang Cuiping said with some melancholy.

"Things will work themselves out; there's always a solution to every problem, Comrade Wang Cuiping!"

"You really deserve a beating."
