Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 441 Uninvited Guest

Over here, the two instructors from Jiang Hai's squad were chatting at a distance near the tea station in the center of the playground, while a group of four or five people entered through a small opening on the other side of the playground.

Leading the way was a middle-aged, overweight policeman with two police batons slung over his shoulder. The men following behind him, judging from their bowed and hunched postures, were probably his subordinates.

“Leader Xu, it’s so hot. We can just watch from the platform. There’s no need to come down to the playground,” suggested one of the policemen, who had small eyebrows and eyes.

The person referred to as Leader Xu is none other than Leader Xu from the Student Affairs Office of the Provincial Police Academy.

Compared to administrative work, Director Lin Dakai, whose personality leans more towards scientific research and teaching, didn't care much about the affairs of the Student Affairs Office. In order to concentrate on his research, he decisively handed over all the affairs of the Student Affairs Office to Leader Xu.

The large, fat man strolled along slowly, hands behind his back: "The college leadership is taking tomorrow's opening ceremony very seriously, so we subordinates have to get things done in advance. We can't afford to be careless. If things go wrong, it'll be embarrassing for everyone."

"Yes, yes, yes, Leader Xu is so thoughtful. It seems that Leader Xu is indeed the busiest person now, unlike some people who just want to be hands-off managers." The small-eyed policeman quickly flattered Leader Xu.

The small-eyed policeman made a subtle, pointed remark, while the other officer was completely uninhibited: "That Leader Lin only knows how to do research and win awards for himself. He doesn't act like a leader at all, even when he's surrounded by students. Unlike our Leader Xu, who works overtime every day under the scorching sun, busy with work for the institute."

Seeing his colleagues fawning over their superior while he stood at the back with no chance to shine, the last policeman quickly stepped forward and loudly echoed their sentiments. His words were even more aggressive than those of the first two colleagues, hoping to make an impression on the powerful leader.
"Yes, yes, yes, Leader Lin only got his position because of his peacekeeping experience a few years ago. When it comes to administrative work ability, it has to be our Leader Xu. Look, the opening ceremony is tomorrow, and he's already neglecting everything in the department! Luckily, Leader Xu is here to keep things in order! Otherwise, it would definitely be a complete mess!"

The fact that these people were so obviously trying to show their loyalty also indirectly confirms that Lin Dakai really has no ambitions in administrative work, nor does he intend to have any ambitions in the future.

Although the flattery from these individuals was obvious and crude, Xu, as a mid-level leader in the institute, was quite pleased with it.

Hearing his subordinates' disdainful remarks, knowing they were directed at him, Leader Xu paused slightly, then strode forward again, a flicker of contempt in his eyes, feigning anger as he said:

"You bunch of brats! How dare you talk about Leader Lin like that? You have no respect for your elders! Quickly find someone to be an example, we still need to cooperate in the propaganda later! It's already four o'clock in the afternoon, once they disperse, where will you find them!"

At the order of the team leader, Xu, the officers immediately dispersed and looked around, ready to find a typical case of violation to demonstrate the management achievements of their student affairs office.

After all, tomorrow is the opening ceremony, a major event that so many college leaders are watching closely. If we pick an example and severely punish someone at this time, it will not only serve as a warning to the new students, letting them know how powerful the student affairs office is, thus facilitating future management, but it will also earn us some respect from the college leaders for our diligent supervision of the new students.

Of course, the focus is on the latter.

The small-eyed policeman squinted and scanned the corners of the playground one by one. Suddenly, he pointed to a freshman in a black training uniform who was jumping around in the southwest corner of the playground and shouted, "That kid! That's him!"

Everyone looked over and thought, "Hey, not bad, the other formations are all training in an orderly and intense manner, while this kid is just jumping around like a monkey over there."

With such a tight schedule, who else should we arrest if not him?
The group jogged over and surrounded the freshman.

"What's your name! Which squad are you from?!" The small-eyed policeman shouted, widening his eyes.

"Jiang Hai, 3rd Squad, 22nd Brigade." Jiang Hai saw four men in summer duty uniforms who looked like police academy teachers rushing over and yelling at him, so he had no choice but to stand still and answer obediently.

Puzzled, he scratched his head and asked, "Teacher, what do you need me for?"

"Still moving! Stand up straight!" Seeing his colleagues gather around, the small-eyed policeman felt more confident and gave Jiang Hai a good scolding.

"Everyone is training hard for tomorrow's opening ceremony, and you're hiding in a corner slacking off? Who gave you the guts? Where's your instructor?"

After a barrage of questions, Jiang Hai was completely bewildered.

He pointed to the two instructors who were still drinking water and chatting in the middle of the playground, and when he tried to explain, he was irritably interrupted by them.

"Still moving? What are you moving for! Tell me! Why are you here?"

Jiang Hai lowered his arm, which was pointing at the instructor's position, and after thinking for a moment, honestly replied, "It should be arguing with the instructor."

"Talking back to the instructor? You've got some nerve, kid." The small-eyed policeman wasn't entirely sure what was going on, so he glanced at the two colleagues standing behind Jiang Hai for their opinion. The two hesitated for a moment, then shook their heads slightly.

They clearly felt that bringing up a case of someone arguing with an instructor wouldn't demonstrate their success in managing freshmen.

"Your name is Jiang Hai, right? With your level of ability, how dare your parents name you 'Jiang Hai'? They might as well change your name to 'Xi Shui' (Stream)." The small-eyed policeman cursed in anger when he saw that this freshman was not up to their quota. He then walked around Jiang Hai and headed towards the other groups to search again.

Suddenly, a reply came from behind.

"Teacher! Please refrain from judging other people's parents before you understand the specific circumstances. It's very impolite," Jiang Hai said loudly, looking straight ahead.

Although Jiang Hai didn't develop a deep relationship with his long-divorced parents, this was indeed a sensitive area for him.

Ok?
You still dare to talk back?

The small-eyed policeman, who was in a hurry to leave, flew into a rage upon hearing Jiang Hai's answer.

He felt that this freshman was challenging his authority as a student affairs officer.

Heh heh! Trying to embarrass me on the last day of police training? Trying to show off in front of my classmates? You've got some nerve, kid. The small-eyed policeman turned back to Jiang Hai and pointed his finger at him.

"Jiang Hai, it's you."

The other student affairs officers standing nearby also heard Jiang Hai's previous answer.

The content of this answer is not wrong in itself, but it is completely wrong when placed during the freshman police training period, which is the most sensitive time of the year and when the management of freshmen is most strict, and when facing an inspection by the student affairs office.

At this moment, they silently followed behind the small-eyed policeman, no longer expressing their opinions.

Having made up his mind to take down the freshman in front of him, the experienced, small-eyed policeman took a few steps back, took out his phone, and began to look through the freshman's information, just in case he made a mistake or offended someone he shouldn't have.

After all, there are quite a few hidden talents in this police academy.

After quickly reviewing Jiang Hai's identity information, the small-eyed policeman was fairly certain that this person belonged to the "Bai Zi" category, which refers to people without any background or connections.

"Huh? Your surname is Jiang, how come your sister's surname is Yan?"

In a matter of seconds, the small-eyed policeman had already identified his target. He tried to provoke the other party and steer the situation in the direction he desired, since a mere 'confrontational instructor' was a bit too weak.

Jiang Hai gritted his teeth and didn't reply. Although he had argued with these teachers in a fit of anger earlier, he knew he shouldn't act rashly now. After all, his sister was coming tomorrow, and he didn't want anything to happen at this crucial moment.

The small-eyed policeman, however, thought differently and added insult to injury, continuing his taunts: "Speaking of which, your parents are divorced? And this sister of yours is really your sister? That's getting interesting."

"You bastard!"

Jiang Hai, whose parents divorced early, had no friends growing up. The only person who would come to keep him company was Yan Chenxi. Even after Yan Chenxi started working, she would find excuses to give him money every now and then, and would always find time to lecture him.

Although he didn't take the money, he was too lazy to listen to any lectures.

However, his sister is indeed his Achilles' heel.

At this moment, Jiang Hai was furious and could no longer suppress his anger. He cursed loudly and shoved the small-eyed policeman with both hands.
