Chapter 19

Upon hearing this sentence, Old Mai couldn’t hold back.

Are you kidding me?

Su Xuan was his capable staff member. If the county bureau chief took him away for real, who was he going to rely on for his future performance?

“Chief, you really can’t poach like this. I still have my people here.”

Old Mai immediately spoke up.

Gao Jianlin burst into laughter, “Alright, alright, I know you can’t bear to part with me. I was just teasing you.”

As he spoke, Gao Jianlin looked at Zhao Dongqiang, still lying on the ground, his brow furrowing in confusion.

“Old Mai, what’s up with Zhao Dongqiang? Why hasn’t he gotten up from the ground?”

“His face looks so terrible. Could he have really sustained a severe injury?”

“You told me it was a minor issue, but why does it seem like he’s dead?”

“There’s no blood on him either. What’s going on??”

After hearing Gao Jianlin’s words, the chiefs of the other police stations also looked over in confusion. The chief of the Qianxi District Police Station even exclaimed dramatically, “Could this guy be playing dead?”

Play dead, my ass!

The pain had numbed him on the ground. Zhao Dongqiang’s mouth twitched. He wished he could just faint right there. He wanted to jump up right now and stab him.

However, as soon as he made a slight movement, a sharp pain radiated from an indescribable area. Zhao Dongqiang turned pale, and the few millimeters of his body that had just risen were suddenly seated again. His vision darkened.

After hearing Gao Jianlin’s words, Old Mai also looked at Zhao Dongqiang and his expression became somewhat awkward.

“It’s not a major injury, just a crushed testicle.”

“After all, this topic is about male dignity. So, I think it’s better for him to go to the hospital for an examination.”

“Even criminals have human rights.”

Just as Chief Yu was about to say this, everyone in the room instinctively tightened their legs, especially the men present. They felt a chill between their legs, and their gaze involuntarily shifted to the area Zhao Dongqiang was clutching…

Looking at him like this, they couldn’t help but empathize. Yes, Su Xuan’s ruthlessness had taken on a new meaning.

Damn it!

A guy who would go for the testicles at any opportunity. Next time, they better not provoke him. If the opponent delivered a kick like that, their future might turn bleak…

Damn it, a blow to the testicles with a hammer, not to mention a murderer, any guy wouldn’t be able to handle it…

The chiefs coughed and quickly shifted everyone’s attention.

“Su Xuan did an impressive job this time.”

“Old Mai, I envy you for having such an officer. You probably won’t need to worry about your performance for the next half year…”

With these words, the county leaders finally realized it and all spontaneously turned to Old Mai, saying:

“Wow, the performance for the next half year is in your hands.”

“We in the bureau have high expectations for you!”

“And Su Xuan…” The county leaders turned to Su Xuan, raising their hand to give his shoulder a hearty pat, “You did a great job. You’ve achieved another significant feat this time!”

“I’ll put in an application for a second-class commendation for you along with the previous one. I’ll try to upgrade your two third-class commendations to second-class.”

“Keep up the good work and strive harder! Whether you can be promoted to Deputy Police Inspector will depend on this wave!”

To catch two A Class fugitives in a single day, such talent, even if just a regular police officer, was rare for a leader to encounter.

Although Su Xuan caught the criminals, it was within their county, and even if they went to the city bureau, their county would gain considerable prestige!

It might even provide some help in their political careers…

With these thoughts, the county leaders became even more interested in Su Xuan!

Only the director of the County Public Security Bureau, Gao Jianlin, looked at Old Mai, a slight smile playing on his lips as he praised, “Old Mai, I’m afraid you might be moving up a bit.”

Old Mai and he had joined the force at the same time, but Gao Jianlin was already a bureau chief, while Old Mai was still a station chief. This could only mean that Old Mai’s career had hit some bumps…

But now, with Su Xuan, this precious asset, as his direct subordinate, Old Mai naturally had a share of credit!

Old Mai was also very excited.

So, he had been thinking that he might be stuck in the role of station chief until he retired. Who could have imagined that he would get this precious Su Xuan at this time?

As long as he continued to bring in some criminals, he might just make a breakthrough next year…

“Borrowing your auspicious words, borrowing your auspicious words…”

Old Mai burst into laughter.

In the meantime, the detectives from the Criminal Investigation Division arrived at the Jiangcheng Police Station, along with the ambulance.

Seeing Zhao Dongqiang curled up on the ground, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Division exclaimed in shock, “Isn’t this Zhao Dongqiang?”

“How did you manage to catch such a dangerous fugitive?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze turned to Su Xuan. He felt a bit embarrassed and took out his iron hammer, saying, “It’s all thanks to this…”

The captain of the Criminal Investigation Division noticed that Zhao Dongqiang had also been apprehended by Su Xuan. His expression shifted from surprise to admiration as he extended an invitation, “Su Xuan, would you consider joining our Criminal Investigation Division?”

Old Mai: …??

Damn it, why is another person trying to snatch him?

He had waited for so many years and finally gotten a capable subordinate. Was it easy for him? He was still waiting for Su Xuan to bring in more accomplishments and help him climb the ranks.

“Alright, let’s go as soon as you’ve caught the suspect.”

“Don’t waste time here. Those who want to poach my people, you’re quite early.”

Old Mai impatiently spoke, and Su Xuan just chuckled without contradicting him.

He was just an ordinary police officer at the moment. Even if he were really transferred to the Criminal Investigation Division in a special capacity, what use would it be? Besides, he didn’t even have a formalized regimen or training. If he joined the Criminal Investigation Division now, he might not keep up…

The captain of the Criminal Investigation Division laughed heartily, bantered with Old Mai a bit, and then looked at Su Xuan with a touch of regret in his gaze.

“Alright, alright.”

“I mean, Old Mai, you’re quite something. I just wanted to poach a few of your people. There’s no need to act like you’re going to kill me…”

Old Mai’s words were cut off halfway.

Even though he had immediately rejected the idea of the Criminal Investigation Division’s captain poaching his people, the truth was that every person who became a police officer desired to be in the Criminal Investigation Division.

Even when he had entered the department, he had wanted to become a detective…

And Su Xuan?
