Chapter 25

Ji Wanqing shook her head repeatedly, “Forget it, Chief, I just have a deceptive appearance that makes those criminals think I’m easy to bully, so they make a move on me. But besides being strong, I don’t know anything else, don’t make things difficult for me.”

Chief Si chided, “How can it be difficult? You solved four major cases in one afternoon, just for this honor, you could be promoted to branch captain! I can even apply for a second-class merit for you, an extra eighteen yuan allowance every month, plus housing for your family, and your children’s schooling can also be solved!”

Ji Wanqing never expected that she would be noticed like this.

“…To tell you the truth, within three days, my portrait will be spread among all the criminal gangs in Anshi. Then, no one will fall for my tricks anymore. You’d rather persuade me to join here, why not let me go out and wander around while I have this time, and trick those criminals who haven’t updated their information yet.”

Having been a police officer for over ten years, Chief Si knew that Ji Wanqing’s prediction was very accurate. He also temporarily gave up the idea of recruiting her, and sent several branches to follow her and provide support.

Ji Wanqing calculated her bonus while turning back to instruct, “Your faces are probably memorized by those criminals, remember to stay at least five to eight kilometers away from me, preferably across three or five streets. I’ll take care of them and then come to you for follow-up.”

Omitting the time spent reporting to the police station, Ji Wanqing encountered two cases of deception and three cases of kidnapping in one hour.

It was almost like she could be targeted just by changing streets.

The first, second, and third criminal investigation teams worked tirelessly to bring people back to the police station. When they had a little free time, Captain Hao took a puff of his cigarette, “I say, this Ji Wanqing is too unbelievable! How come those people only target her? And they keep coming one after another.”

Huo Xiao’s fingertips were filled with smoke, and he said calmly, “She’s beautiful enough, rich enough, and weak enough.”

Captain Hao, “…She’s indeed beautiful, like a fairy. And you can tell she’s rich, but she’s not weak at all.”

Huo Xiao, “You know her skills, so you have this awareness. If you had met her for the first time, would you think that Comrade Ji could knock me out in three moves?”

Looking at his big, muscular body, Captain Hao thought for a moment and shook his head quickly, “Impossible! Comrade Ji looks delicate and soft-skinned, even holding a suitcase can make her palms red, who would have thought she was so strong!”

Huo Xiao remembered her red heels from the leather shoes, “You can see these details, criminals who make a living from human trafficking can see them even more. The arrogant and fragile aura she exudes is something that our undercover comrades can’t easily fake, it’s normal for them to fall for it.”

Captain Hao clicked his tongue, “My goodness, they’ve met their match.”

A signal came from the front, another job.

The two of them put out their cigarettes and went about their business.

At six o’clock in the evening, Ji Wanqing was really tired from walking, even the spiritual spring water couldn’t relieve her mental fatigue.

“Hmm, today I’ve solved a total of nine kidnapping cases and busted four criminal gangs, a total bonus of two hundred and sixty yuan.”

Honestly, she had originally planned to earn a hundred yuan and leave, but Chief Si, who was quite old, was busy running around, asking after her well-being, serving tea and pouring water, just to get her to help more. She was always soft-hearted and couldn’t bear to refuse.

She had been working hard for two hours!

It made her feel like she was going to work, and anything that involved work had no joy at all.

“Good, good, good, I’ll authorize a reward of five hundred yuan for Comrade Ji!” Chief Si’s wrinkled face blossomed into a smile. Just the cases from this afternoon were worth half a year’s worth!

Next year’s National Excellent City Bureau would definitely belong to their Anshi Public Security Bureau!

Ji Wanqing was naturally happy that the money had increased, but she still had to remind him, “Chief, we’ve made a bit of a big deal today. This afternoon, I said three days, but I underestimated it. I guess within tonight, those people will get the news.”

Chief Si was still persuading her, “Yes, if you join our Public Security Bureau, those people will have to think twice before taking revenge. Our bureau can also protect you. If you encounter some cunning criminals alone, even if you have a good background, you won’t be able to withstand their relentless attacks.”

Ji Wanqing waved her hand nonchalantly, “It’s okay, I’ll be staying in the military compound, they wouldn’t dare to go there.”

Chief Si was puzzled, “What military compound?”

Ji Wanqing’s eyes lit up, “The military compound of the Anhui Military Region, I came to Anhui Province this time to find my fiancé to get married. He’s a battalion commander.”

“…” Chief Si was heartbroken!

A good police officer turned into a military wife! If the military region knew that Ji had this ability, they wouldn’t let her go no matter what!

Ji Wanqing, with her newly acquired five hundred yuan, quickly slipped away while Chief Si was beating his chest and stamping his feet.

She hurried to the guest house where the Young Intellectuals were staying and also checked in with her introduction letter.

The Young Intellectuals who were going to the countryside near the train station had already left. Those who were going to the countryside further away, in another city, were taking the bus tomorrow morning.

Moreover, the Young Intellectuals’ office didn’t have that much money. One room with two beds for four people, two floors were full, Ji Wanqing was able to get a room when she came to check in.

She asked the front desk where Yu Jia was staying, went back to her room, drew the curtains, took a comfortable bath in the space, and then knocked on the door of 303 with her semi-dry hair.

“Who is it?” a voice came from inside the door.

“It’s me, Ji Wanqing, I have something to talk to Yu Jia about.”

Footsteps came quickly, Yu Jia opened the door and looked her up and down before letting out a sigh of relief, “I thought you weren’t coming. I heard they caught several human traffickers this afternoon, we all thought you were in trouble.”

“…”

Even the newly arrived Young Intellectuals knew this news, and the locals, especially those in the underworld, probably knew even more.

“I’m fine, I have an elder in Anshi, I went to visit him this afternoon.” Ji Wanqing didn’t want to talk about it, she quickly changed the subject, “By the way, aren’t you going to the countryside in Anshi?”

Yu Jia nodded, “We’re in Huai County, Huashi, it’s a bit far, there’s only one bus in the morning at seven o’clock. I heard from the leader that you’re not a Young Intellectual? Did you forget or something?”

If her marriage to Jiang Che went smoothly, according to the plot, she would often see the heroine in the future.

Ji Wanqing told the truth, “Actually, I’m going to follow the army to the military region. I used the introduction letter from the Young Intellectuals’ office to buy the train ticket, and the ticket seller gave me a ticket for the Young Intellectuals’ special train.”

“Following the army?” Yu Jia exclaimed.

She remembered that there was only one military region in Anhui Province, between Anshi and Baoping City.

“Is your husband a soldier? What unit is he in?”

Ji Wanqing knew that Yu Jia had been reborn, and once she mentioned Jiang Che’s unit number, Yu Jia would know the relationship between Shen Feng and Jiang Che.

But they would be buyers and sellers soon, Ji Wanqing didn’t mind using Shen Feng to get closer to Yu Jia, to put her at ease and trade more good things with her.

“73rd Division, 113th Regiment, my fiancé is a battalion commander.”

Sure enough, Yu Jia’s expression froze slightly, and she asked with anticipation, “Which battalion?”
