Chapter 24

Ji Wanqing was quite excited to try a piece of braised meat, it was truly a flavor that only existed in later years.

She had eaten all the ready-made food from the supermarket years ago, and now that she was suddenly tasting it again, it was really good.

Ji Wanqing decided that once she settled down, she would make a pot of braised food for herself.

Because of Yu Jia’s cold and frosty attitude, He Zi’an had come over a few more times, but finding that he couldn’t get anything out of Yu Jia, he gradually stopped bothering her.

On the third afternoon, at one o’clock.

The train, stopping and starting, finally arrived at the provincial capital of Anhui Province – Anshi.

Anhui Province was a border province of China. It was much more chaotic than inland cities like Yunhe City. After getting off the train, Ji Wanqing keenly felt at least a dozen pairs of malicious eyes sizing her up.

But that’s exactly what she wanted.

On the other side.

The Young Intellectuals’ leader was counting the heads.

Yu Jia hadn’t seen Ji Wanqing, so she hurried over to report that a particularly beautiful woman was missing.

The leader frowned, “What’s her name?”

Yu Jia, “We only know her last name is Ji, we don’t know her specific character.”

The leader flipped through the list, “We don’t have a female comrade with the last name Ji in this section of the carriage, but there’s a male comrade with the last name Ji, the Ji of four seasons.”

Yu Jia couldn’t help but frown, a little worried about whether the transaction tonight would be successful, after all, she had already exchanged the things from the trading system beforehand!

Apart from Comrade Ji, who else would have the financial means to buy those things?

In the dirty and messy courtyard, the summer breeze was blowing.

Ji Wanqing stretched her neck, on the ground lay four big men and two old women.

This group liked to take advantage of the kindness of young girls and children, asking them to guide elderly people, then luring them to remote places to carry out human trafficking.

Ji Wanqing clicked her tongue.

The hooligans in Yunhe City mostly robbed houses, but the criminals in Anhui Province directly engaged in murder, arson, and human trafficking, right?

When the police came to rescue the trafficked people, they were still incredulous. This gang of habitual criminals, who had been committing crimes on the run, had actually been taken down by this tiny, thin girl?

After returning to the station to give a statement, Ji Wanqing asked, “Police officer, does this count as a contribution? Is there a bonus? Can the human traffickers compensate me for my mental distress?”

Solving a major case and rescuing over ten women and children, the police officer was very excited, “Yes! For this major case, the station will give the highest bonus, twenty yuan! But as for that mental distress compensation, I’ve never heard of it.”

Hmm.

It was indeed a bit less than what she had gotten from robbing the robbers, but she wasn’t picky.

At 2:30, she left the police station, and at 3:00, she excitedly came back to the police station to report another case.

“Police officer, another human trafficking gang was taken down by me. I saw seven or eight children locked up inside, let’s go quickly!”

They hadn’t finished interrogating the previous batch, and now another one?

The police officers rushed over and sure enough, they saw several habitual criminals on the wanted list.

The familiar black eyes and swollen faces, the familiar torn clothes used as strips, exactly the same as before.

The police looked at each other with complicated expressions and escorted the people back to the police station. It was the same familiar process of taking statements and a twenty yuan bonus.

Four o’clock.

Ji Wanqing came again.

But this time, she came with someone tied up, “Police officer, I just busted a drug trafficking den, this guy wanted to run out to spread the word, I caught him.”

This time, the officers of the Anshi Public Security Bureau were stunned. They called back all the officers who were on vacation to work overtime, even the chief was alarmed.

“Such amazing skills? You could take down twenty-plus people with knives and guns?” Chief Si paced around his office, “Bring the person to my office, I’ll personally go through the special approval process and let her join our Criminal Investigation Brigade!”

A while later, Section Chief Zhang came back, looking troubled, “Captain Hao has taken a liking to Comrade Ji’s ability to solve cases. He didn’t even take a statement and let her go.”

Chief Si was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, “Short-sighted! If we keep her at our station, what case can’t we solve!”

But Chief Si didn’t have to wait long, at five o’clock, Ji Wanqing came back with a sack of illegal firearms.

Now the police station didn’t even have time to interrogate the people, they were all locked up in the cells. They had to arrest the criminals who had been trafficking guns and ammunition and committing crimes on the run along the border first.

And Section Chief Zhang finally brought people to knock on Chief Si’s office door.

Looking at the pretty girl who looked like a flower, Chief Si was rarely puzzled, “Comrade, who are you looking for?”

Section Chief Zhang was speechless, “Chief Si, she’s Ji Wanqing, Comrade Ji.”

“…” Chief Si stood up, couldn’t help but look her up and down. After a while, he said, “Old Zhang, don’t play with me, can this little comrade single-handedly take down a drug trafficking den of twenty-plus people?”

Ji Wanqing honestly said, “It was me.”

Chief Si became interested and immediately rolled up his sleeves, “Come on, little comrade, let’s practice.”

Ji Wanqing politely refused, “Chief Si, I’m naturally strong, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control my strength and hurt you.”

“Hahaha, just go ahead, if you lose, it’s on me!”

Ji Wanqing glanced at the white hair at the temples of Chief Si, and suggested again, “Why don’t you find a young man? Young people recover faster, I’m really afraid of breaking your bones.”

Chief Si was intrigued by her words and turned to Section Chief Zhang, “Go find Huo Xiao, let’s go to the training room.”

Huo Xiao was a special forces soldier who had been transferred to civilian life. His skills were beyond compare, much more lethal than the criminals outside who only knew how to use brute force.

With the chief paving the way, the sparring ring was quickly set up.

Section Chief Zhang asked, “Comrade Ji, do you want to change your shoes?”

The small leather shoes were a bit dusty from walking all afternoon, Ji Wanqing shook her head, “No, it won’t be long, I’m too lazy to change.”

Huo Xiao was tall and strong, with an old scar on his brow bone, which added to his masculinity.

Ji Wanqing discreetly looked him up and down, admiring the feeling of his muscles bulging under his uniform.

If it weren’t for the fact that the original owner had a fiancé, and the current society was even stricter than ancient times when it came to playing the rogue, she would definitely have to go for it.

Huo Xiao initially thought the chief was crazy, asking him to go all out against a little girl who would fall with a single gust of wind.

But when they actually fought, he realized that not only was her strength formidable, but her fighting awareness was also very advanced. Often, before he could even make a move, she had seen through it, and then with one force overcoming ten, she defeated him step by step.

Huo Xiao pursed his lips, “Again.”

“No more, no more, I have something to do.”

In this era, the old comrades who could become the chief of the Public Security Bureau were all those who had made great contributions in fighting the Japanese invaders. Ji Wanqing was only willing to come here to make a monkey out of herself for the sake of the old hero. She didn’t care about anyone else.

Huo Xiao stepped forward, “I underestimated you just now, this time I’ll go all out.”

Ji Wanqing said leisurely, “All the people I took down this afternoon were because they underestimated me. Otherwise, they should be enjoying themselves in their own territory now, instead of being locked up in jail waiting for trial.”

Huo Xiao was taken aback, “Sorry, I was narrow-minded.”

“Well said.” Chief Si looked at Ji Wanqing with shining eyes, then turned to Huo Xiao with a hint of disdain, “Is underestimation an excuse? If you were to meet a criminal head-on and you let your guard down because he was a thin and small woman, then failing the mission would be the least of your worries. When you lose your life, you’ll know how fatal this mistake is!”

Huo Xiao lowered his head, “Yes, you’re right, I admit defeat.”

Chief Si turned around and said with a smile, “Comrade Ji, are you interested in joining our police force?”
