Chapter 10: The Chief Was Dumbfounded. Wasn’t That a Wanted Criminal??_1

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The deputy head immediately entered the office.

“Old Mai, isn’t this order a bit strange?”

“Just yesterday, we were all just lazing around, and today you’re telling them to resolve one of these two issues by the end of the month.”

“We only have a few days left. Can they really manage it?”

Lin Can’s expression grew serious as he spoke. He was frowning, not quite understanding why the station head was making such a decision.

“Old Lin, it’s not that I want to do this. It’s just that we’ve entered the final phase now.”

“You should know that our Jiangcheng Police Station isn’t on the best terms with the Qianxi District Police Station, right? They’ve already achieved two significant results this time, while we haven’t achieved anything.”

“The end of the month is approaching, and the quarterly assessment is coming up. If we don’t produce some results soon, we’ll be humiliated during the assessment.”

The head of the police station, Old Mai, sighed. As the head of a police station, he absolutely wouldn’t let that happen!

Especially losing to the Qianxi District Police Station, he wouldn’t stand for it!

“Furthermore, this matter was ordered by the higher-ups. If I don’t take it on, they might hand it over to the other station…”

“Think about it, the matters in my jurisdiction might be handled by another station. Where am I supposed to put my face?”

Old Mai sighed with helplessness as he spoke.

Lin Can also understood Old Mai’s point. The entire year had already passed a quarter, and last quarter they had directly lost to the Qianxi District Police Station.

Even the station head, Old Mai, had been ridiculed by their station head for quite some time.

If the same thing happened again this time, Old Mai might actually lose his temper.

“But even if that’s the case, it’s still really difficult.”

“There are only a few days left. Can we really finish it?”

Upon hearing this, Old Mai’s gaze instantly became stern.

“Even if we can’t finish it, they have to finish it for me!”

“Work overtime, I don’t believe that even under this intense investigation, I’ll still lose to that bastard from the Qianxi District Police Station!”

Just at this moment, Su Xuan and a few others arrived with their team.

The roaring sound of the engines immediately drew everyone’s attention.

The police officers who had swapped shifts with a few others due to the situation today also turned to look, their expressions somewhat puzzled.

No way…

Didn’t Old Ye say that he swapped shifts with Su Xuan so that he could see him off out of the province?

Why did he come back with them this time?

“What are these guys up to?”

Inside the office, Old Mai heard the noise too. He walked to the window and looked at the scene outside, sighing, “Why do I remember that Su Xuan seemed to have taken leave already? Why is he still here?”

“Today isn’t his shift. Why is he dressed in a police uniform?”

Old Mai grumbled irritably, thinking about how he needed to educate Su Xuan.

He was generally a good-tempered person.

But this was a special situation. He hoped his officers would hurry up and get to work, instead of bickering over trivial matters…

And why was Su Xuan, who had already taken leave, coming back?

He had no idea what he was doing!

What a lack of understanding!

“Come on, let’s go downstairs and see!” Old Mai released the curtain, lowered his head, and walked downstairs. “I want to see why this guy came back this time.”

“On his day off, he’s still wearing a police uniform. Hasn’t he been punished enough?”

As Old Mai spoke, he walked outside, and Lin Can followed behind him, shaking his head helplessly.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but think: Su Xuan usually looks pretty sharp and intelligent, but why does he fall apart in crucial moments?

He even hoped to at least escape, but he ended up coming back on his own…

Sigh!

He didn’t even have a chance to flee.

Just thinking about it felt pitiful…

Well, he better go over there and take a look. If Old Mai got angry, he might be able to intervene.

..

So, when Su Xuan and his team drove through the entrance of the police station, they saw everyone in the lobby turning their heads in unison…

Their car was still parked at the entrance, and they were still seated inside. They were instantly bewildered by the gazes fixed upon them.

“I can’t believe it. What’s going on?”

“Are there so many people here to welcome me? Do I have that much fame?”

“Or could it be that someone knows we caught a big fish? Did someone secretly inform the people inside?”

Su Xuan looked utterly baffled and instinctively asked the people in the car.

Everyone thought that the people inside were turning to welcome them.

The scene was too much like the kind of welcome given to heroes…

Who could have imagined that Old Mai was actually using this opportunity to make an example out of one to warn the others?

Unluckily, Su Xuan was the one picked as the example.

Sure enough, seeing them sitting in the car without any intention of getting out, Old Mai snorted coldly.

He became even more certain of these guys’ careless attitude.

His expression instantly darkened.

Seeing the station head walking toward them, the several officers exchanged glances and got down from the police car.

They were equally puzzled.

“I don’t know. I definitely didn’t say anything. Could it be you guys?”

One of the officers spoke up.

The others were even more perplexed.

To be honest, it was quite a surprise that they were able to catch such a high-profile criminal this time…

Originally, they had thought of coming to the station to brag a bit about it.

Who would’ve shared the information before coming?

“It wasn’t me.”

“For something as big as this, you’d definitely discuss it at the station. How could I have said anything on the way?”

“Anyway, it’s useless to speculate now. Let’s go up and find out what’s going on. Haven’t you noticed? I saw the station head’s stern expression…”

Everyone refuted this statement.

That made it even stranger. Who leaked the information, or how did they find out?

After getting out of the car, Su Xuan directly dragged Gao Qi out from inside.

After getting into the police car, Gao Qi had actually attempted to escape. Su Xuan had managed to restrain him.

Even now, with them inside the police station, Su Xuan still hadn’t let go.

Gao Qi had his hands cuffed, and despite wearing a suit, he looked disheveled, bearing a thoroughly defeated appearance. However, even in this state…

As he saw Old Mai striding toward them, his face brimming with anger, he instantly recognized him!

Wasn’t this the guy he had been desperately pursuing, the high-profile fugitive he had dreamt of catching?

Damn it!

This fugitive, who was said to have disappeared without a trace…

How could he end up in the hands of his subordinate?
