Li Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief; the case was now closed.

Chapter 408 Return

Some time later, at the morning meeting, Wang Shouyi announced with great joy, "Everyone, everyone, I have some good news to share."

"Yesterday, through Interpol, the mastermind of the fraud ring we busted was brought back from overseas."

"According to reliable sources, this is the largest fraud ring we have cracked in this special campaign against telecom fraud, and the amount of money involved is also the highest."

"The case involves several Southeast Asian countries and nearly 100 million yuan. Although not much has been recovered, it's still a recovery. Director Song even praised our office during the meeting at the bureau just now."

"Here, we must especially commend the special task force for telecommunications fraud led by Comrade Li Mu. Of course, Zhao Jiwei and Li Dawei also performed exceptionally well."

"This time, the three of them received commendations from the bureau, and everyone applauded to welcome them."

A burst of enthusiastic applause immediately followed.

Feeling the lively atmosphere and everyone's attention, Li Mu was fine, but Li Dawei and Zhao Jiwei were overjoyed, especially Zhao Jiwei, who was thrilled to have received an award from the bureau and was certain to be promoted to a permanent position.

After the morning meeting ended, Zhao Jiwei excitedly said, "Brother Li, I received an award."

Li Mu patted him on the shoulder: "Keep up the good work and do your best."

Zhao Jiwei nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

The case was solved, the fraud ring behind it was arrested, and a significant amount of the funds were recovered. Li Mu then inquired about Wu Yu's situation.

She was arguably the worst victim in this scam, losing both of her houses and incurring significant debts.

The money that was recovered and returned to her was only enough to pay off her debts.

However, it's not bad to be able to recover these funds. At least we're free from debt and can start afresh with a lighter burden.

……

On this rare weekend, Li Mu drove to Xia Jie's neighborhood. The two had recently confirmed their relationship, but hadn't told their parents yet, fearing pressure to get married!

After waiting for only seven or eight minutes, Xia Jie came over with a small bag in her hand and light steps.

Li Mu said, "So fast? Isn't Auntie home?"

Xia Jie said, "My mom and Uncle Liang went on a trip together."

Li Mu exclaimed in surprise, "You actually managed to bring them together!"

Xia Jie smiled and said, "That's right, you have no idea how much effort I've put into their relationship."

Li Mu gave a thumbs-up and said, "Awesome!"

Xia Jie rolled her eyes at him: "Where are we going today?"

Li Mu said, "Let's go look at houses. My mom bought me a house a few days ago, saying it's to be our wedding house. Let's go take a look together. We need to decide on the decoration style in the next couple of days."

Xia Jie's cheeks flushed slightly, and she softly hummed in agreement.

Li Mu smiled, started the car, and quickly disappeared down the street.

Over the past six months, with his subtle guidance, Li's father has made tens of millions of yuan in the stock market. A few days ago, he spent several million yuan to buy him a large three-bedroom apartment of 180 square meters, which will serve as his wedding home. He is currently busy with the renovations.

However, this money is enough to maintain a good standard of living for the family, so there is no need to make money from the stock market anymore.

……

Some time passed, and after the meeting that day, Wang Shouyi had just stood up when he cried out in pain and sat down again, clutching his back.

Everyone was startled and started chattering:

"Chief, are you alright?"

"Chief, is your back hurting again?"

"The director's work is important, but his health is equally important."

Wang Shouyi was sweating profusely from the pain. He supported himself on the table with his hands and forced a smile: "Sorry, my back is acting up again. It's okay, I'll be fine after a while. Everyone, go on with your work."

Zhang Zhijie asked worriedly, "Chief, why don't you take a few days off? Don't you trust us that much?"

Wang Shouyi said, "Hey, we can't rest. Haven't you heard? A backache isn't a disease. Besides, I won't be working in our institute for many more days, so every day is precious."

Cheng Hao comforted him, "Director, that's not called retirement. You're still a researcher in the bureau. It's not a promotion, but it's a lateral transfer. You can still come back to the station to visit often."

Wang Shouyi smiled and looked at everyone: "What promotion? We've worked hard in this position to build this united and warm team. The closer I get to retiring, the more I miss this place."

Everyone was a little emotional.

Wang Shouyi sighed with emotion: "A lot has happened in Balihe this year. This first quarter alone..."

Gao Chao assured him, "Don't worry, Director. Before you retire to the second line, our institute will strive to be ranked number one! Let you retire with honor, as a memento from our institute."

Wang Shouyi laughed and said, "Haha, in a place like Balihe, I wouldn't even dare to dream of being number one, but setting a new record in our institute's history is also possible. Let's go, meeting adjourned, everyone adjourned."

……

A month later, the four trainee police officers officially held a ceremony to formally become regular officers.

Wang Shouyi stood in front with Ye Wei, Li Mu, Cheng Hao, and Gao Chao.

Four young people, Xia Jie, Yang Shu, Zhao Jiwei, and Li Dawei, stood tall and straight in a line.

Several leaders stepped forward and pinned police ranks on each of the trainee police officers, and the four of them solemnly saluted them.

Wang Shouyi stood to the side watching silently, feeling both reluctant and gratified.

After a moment, he spoke: "One year ago today, four young people walked into our Balihe Police Station and became members of our Balihe community and the police force. In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and the children have grown up and become qualified people's police officers."

"Poplar tree!"

"To!"

"Li Dawei!"

"To!"

"Zhao Jiwei!"

"To!"

"Xia Jie!"

"To!"

Wang Shouyi looked at the four men and said, “From today onwards, you are officially police officers. Recently, we have been talking about the honor of the police. In peacetime, the police profession carries an innate sense of honor.”

"But when we become police officers, we cannot just do it for the honor; we must also remember the responsibilities and trust placed in us by the police."

"Today, as you become official police officers, I want to ask you one question: Are you ready?"

The four of them said in unison, "Ready!"

Wang Shouyi solemnly said, "Good! Today, you have officially become people's police officers. From the day you took the oath to join the police force, you will be police officers for life! Even after you retire, you must always remember the honor and mission of the police. Remember that the light of honor will always shine above your heads."

"Let's work hard, for this glorious team, for this weighty responsibility!"

Amidst enthusiastic applause, the four young people, who had undergone a year of trials, saluted with excitement.

In the future, they will strive for their honor and ideals.

……

One year later:

"Brother Li, congratulations!"

"Xia Jie, congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Director Li!"

"Xiao Jie, congratulations!"

"Happy wedding."

……

Two years later, Li Mu was officially promoted to director of the Balihe Police Station.

In recent years, people have come and gone from the station. After Wang Shouyi retired, instructor Ye Wei also voluntarily applied for a sinecure position in the bureau. Deputy director Gao Chao was transferred to the criminal investigation brigade of the branch bureau as a squad leader half a year ago.

Today, the head of the Balihe Police Station is Li Mu.

Instructor: Cheng Hao!

The other two deputy directors were also acquaintances.

One is Zhang Zhijie, a hardworking and honest community police officer, and the other is Cao Jianjun. After Li Mu was promoted to director, a vacancy arose, and Cao Jianjun was promoted.

And so, another year passed. It was time to go back, Li Mu thought wistfully.

Chapter 409 Rewards and the Situation

The city night is hazy and quiet, with the dazzling streetlights like pearls, dotting the earth.

Around 5 a.m., Li Mu opened his eyes and found himself back in the real world.

He had spent five years in Police Honor, the longest he had ever spent in the film and television world, and for a moment he was a little dazed, not knowing what day it was.
