Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 346 Not going for a physical exam means you're not sick

The following morning, with a sharp whistle blaring from the compound, the SWAT team's first morning training session officially began.

Chen Shu stood at the head of the line, looking at the team members who kept yawning, and couldn't help but laugh and cry. He knew that these young team members were all staying up late at work playing mobile or PC games while on duty, without exception.

Especially Chen Chuan, who went to sleep right after dinner last night, woke up around 10 pm, ate a midnight snack, and was full of energy. He then called a gaming buddy and played games all night until morning. Right now, he's the one yawning the loudest in the team.

Needless to say, those who weren't married went straight for the third or fourth row; those who were married were even more like wolves and tigers, after all, they had wives at home to keep them in check, or they had to take care of their babies and feed them milk in the middle of the night.

When working the night shift in the special police brigade, as long as you are at the unit and available at any time, the leaders will not care what the team members are doing.

When Chen Shu first graduated, he underwent rotational training at the Special Police Detachment, where he shared the monthly broadband fee with the officers in his squadron. Yes, those veteran officers, in order to have a good gaming environment while on duty, each squadron had its own internet connection installed by the telecommunications company.

It is said that this is a fine tradition that has been passed down for more than ten years.

Here, Chen Shu first led the team to jog around the courtyard a few times, then performed a set of police boxing, and finally finished the morning training with two more sets of police boxing.

The training volume isn't high, but the focus is on developing good habits. Chen Shu plans to arrange separate daily training sessions every week after everyone has become familiar with the morning training in about two months.

Once the daily training is familiar, we can arrange two days of stationed training per month, and once the monthly training is comfortable, we can arrange one closed-door intensive training session per quarter.

Chen Shu's ultimate goal was to conduct closed-door training with the fire department.

I learned this trick from the SWAT team. If we keep doing this for a year or two, we should be able to break free from the curse of being last place.

An hour later, the training ended, and Chen Shu dismissed the team.

"Chen Chuan, how about we go out for some glutinous rice noodles today? It's on me." Chen Shu grabbed Chen Chuan and headed out the door.

Chen Chuan said angrily, "Come on, who cares about your glutinous rice flour! I just want to sleep in a little longer this morning."

As a police officer dispatched from the municipal bureau, Chen Chuan was essentially ignored in the special police brigade. After all, his official position wasn't there, and the policy clearly stated that he would return to his original unit in the municipal bureau after a year. Therefore, even the brigade captain, Li Da, turned a blind eye to Chen Chuan's behavior.

Moreover, the technical investigation detachment where Chen Chuan works is known as one of only two princeling detachments in the city bureau. It not only has the most advanced investigation technology in the city bureau, but also has the deepest leadership connections. Therefore, no one would dare to offend it even if it were placed at the grassroots level.

"Chen Da is doing this to make the work easier. You are classmates, so you should help each other out."

After morning training ended, Yang Chang, tired of the food in the cafeteria, followed Chen Shu out of the compound.

The three of them went to a sticky rice shop near their workplace and sat down at a round table in front of the shop.

After only a few bites, Chen Chuan complained of a stomachache and put down his chopsticks, blaming Chen Shu for having to do early morning training so early in the morning.

Yang Chang seemed to remember something and said, "Chen Da, Li Da also keeps complaining of stomach aches. Everyone keeps urging him to go to the hospital, but he's stubborn and always refuses to go because he's in good health. Sigh, I don't know what's wrong with him."

Although the Zhengming District Special Police Brigade consistently ranks near the bottom in terms of professional performance, it doesn't diminish the officers' deep respect and affection for their captain. After all, he's the one who shoulders the pressure from the branch bureau leadership, ensuring that his subordinates can enjoy a comfortable workday.

Chen Shu was taken aback and hesitated before saying, "It should be fine, right? Doesn't the company arrange physical examinations every year? If there were any problems, they would have been found out long ago."

After recovering, Chen Chuan scoffed, "With our bureau's 300-yuan medical check-up package, if they can find anything wrong, it'll probably be too late."

Chen Shu thought for a moment and came up with a plan. Around 2 p.m., Chen Shu was chatting idly with Chen Chuan in the guardhouse when he saw Li Da get into his car in the yard and drive away. So he followed him, opened the passenger door, and got in.

Bored, Chen Chuan followed and got into the back row.

Two people suddenly got on the bus, startling Li Da. He was a little annoyed when he saw it was Chen Shu. Chen Shu clutched his stomach, saying he had a stomachache and asked Li Da to take him to the hospital for a checkup.

Li Da hesitated for a moment: "Chen Shu, I'm going to a meeting at the bureau. Why don't you ask Chen Chuan to help me take you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Chuan, who was sitting in the back row joining in the fun, rolled his eyes and, also clutching his stomach, said, "I ate glutinous rice with Chen Shu this morning, and I think there was poison in it. We both have stomach aches."

Upon hearing that someone had been poisoned, Li Da realized it was a serious matter and quickly released the handbrake, taking Chen Shu and the others to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Chen Shu, claiming he had recovered, asked Li Da to take care of Chen Chuan. After saying this, he ran off to the hospital to queue for registration.

During the checkup, Chen Shu pulled Li Da and the other two onto the equipment and had their blood drawn together. Apparently, he had prepared three forms at once, saying that since they were already there, they might as well get them all done at once and not waste everyone's precious time.

“Everyone who sees it gets a share,” Chen Shuyi said sternly.

Li Da was both amused and exasperated. It was the first time he had ever accompanied someone to the hospital for a checkup, only to find that the person he was accompanying was also forced to undergo a checkup.

After the examination, Li Da was kept behind by the doctor, who said his condition was not good and that his family needed to be contacted. He also needed to be hospitalized for observation immediately and might need surgery. Li Da was stunned. He was over forty years old and a special police captain. Now that he was really in trouble, his mind was completely blank.

Chen Chuan pushed Li Da to the corridor to make a phone call home. Chen Shu followed closely behind and went to the hospital's cashier to complete the admission procedures.

If you have medical insurance, it's completely free.

"Li Daren is really good, he doesn't have the airs of a brigade leader at all." Chen Chuan took out a white cigarette, lit it, and looked at Li Daren standing by the window at the end of the corridor, making a phone call to his family, and felt a little emotional.

Chen Shu, who once took a bullet for me, nodded: "Think about it, who's under the most pressure when the brigade is always last? But do you see him putting pressure on the police officers below him?"

Chen Chuan thought of the morning training Chen Shu had organized and chuckled, "So you're the bad guy who stepped in."

“If you want to achieve results, you have to work hard. Xie Chi is about to retire, and Li Da is a nice guy, so I have to be the bad cop. Hurry up and throw away the cigarette, this is a hospital! You're still wearing your police uniform, if the inspector finds out you'll get fined again.”

Chen Chuan tossed away his cigarette unhappily, looking resentful: "Tch, I've already been demoted to the grassroots level, what more do you want? By the way, what was that inspector doing here last night?"

"Never mind him, just focus on doing our own thing."

"Oh, okay. What about Li Da's situation? Should we stay with him and wait for his family to arrive?"

Chen Shu chuckled: "Cholecystitis, but it was discovered early and can be controlled with some medication."

"What happened to the doctor just now?"

"My high school classmate, I talked to him before he came. People like Li Da are like ostriches; when they encounter problems, they just bury their heads in the sand. They think that not going for a physical exam means they're not sick!"
Sigh, just like my dad. No matter what others say, it's useless; they just have to bring him here to scare the doctor. Let him rest and recover in the hospital from now on. We'll go back to work and leave him alone in the hospital to let his imagination run wild.

Chen Shu took the Santana keys from the terrified Li Da and left with Chen Chuan first. The two went back to their workplace to change clothes and go home.
