Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 452 Deputy Dean of the Police Academy

"Director Xu? What are they doing here at this time!" Zhou Qinghu stared at the crowd, his face grim.

Xu Chu, a massive man who looked like a giant sphere from afar, stood in front of Lin Dakai with a large belly, followed by three arrogant henchmen, one of whom was raising his arm and pointing at the podium.

It’s definitely not a good thing!

Zhou Qinghu glanced back at the podium filled with white-clad bigwigs and frowned, saying, "Secretary Chen, this Director Xu is the leader who punished Jiang Hai before. With the opening ceremony approaching, all the leaders from the department and the college are here. I guess he doesn't have good intentions. I'll go over and take a look first."

After saying that, he squeezed past Chen Shu and Zhu Li and ran outside.

The punishment of a freshman at Jianghai should not have been a big deal for the department-level leaders in the college. But according to the Chairman's words, could it be an internal power struggle? The bureaucratic infighting behind this is far more complex than I imagined.
Chen Shu's heart sank, because the whole affair originated with him, and he couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted. He glanced at Julie beside him and saw that she had turned away again, watching the commotion with great interest.

"Jiang Hai? Is he someone you know?" Julie asked casually, her back to Chen Shu.

Chen Shu then realized that this whole affair originated with him, and he couldn't remain uninvolved. After thinking it over, he left a message, got up, and squeezed his way out.

"Julie, I'll go take a look. You stay here and watch the ceremony."

What's so interesting about the ceremony? It's not as interesting as a fight between police officers. Julie, who was dragged to the police academy by her father to watch the ceremony every year, didn't care about these things. When she saw Chen Shu and his classmate who worked at the police academy running out with serious expressions, how could she not follow?

She went down the stairs to the corridor next to the first floor. As she walked along the path, she glanced left and right at the increasingly loud arguing sounds in the distance, her curiosity growing stronger, and she quickened her pace.

Because she was a little slow going down and down the stairs in the audience earlier, she wasn't sure where Chen Shu and the others had gone. Fortunately, she soon heard a familiar voice, followed the sound, and found Chen Shu as she wished.

"Gentlemen, these are parents and leaders above us. This is not the place to talk," Chen Shu said politely to both sides, standing in the middle of the crowd with his hands outstretched.

Seeing this scene, Julie felt a surge of feminine thoughts. The man before her, Chen Shu, possessed perfectly sculpted features, exuding masculine strength, with thick eyebrows, a high nose, bright, expressive eyes, and lips of just the right shape and curve.

In her view, Chen Shu, dressed casually, stood among a group of police officers in uniforms, seemingly without any sense of weakness. His upright posture and confident tone exuded self-assurance and ease.

She quickened her pace and stood next to Chen Shu.

As they were talking, Chen Shu noticed Zhu Li approaching, nodded slightly, and then continued to stare at the obese policeman. Based on his years of experience successfully mediating countless high-profile arguments involving distant relatives at the police station, he smiled and said, "Director Xu, please don't get agitated. Let's talk in the office. Arguing won't get us anywhere."

Xu Chu snorted coldly, looking at the guy who had suddenly appeared with Zhou Qinghu. Although he didn't know who he was, he was obviously in cahoots with Lin Dakai.

As planned, they had arrived at the podium with great fanfare. However, they hadn't expected that Lin Dakai, the section chief, had no intention of sitting on the podium to watch the opening ceremony like the other section chiefs, so they were left disappointed.

With no one to vent their anger on the scene, they dared not shout in front of the many leaders. As the deputy director, Director Xu was not qualified to linger on the stage and was even scolded by the vice president who was maintaining order. He could only slink back in disgrace.

Unexpectedly, they bumped into Lin Dakai, who was on his way back to his office, at the small entrance to the stands. Naturally, they were not going to let this opportunity pass.

So he made a loud noise to attract the attention of the leaders on the platform. Lin Dakai naturally fell into the trap, and by this time his face was flushed red and he looked extremely angry.

Given his straightforward nature, Lin Dakai will likely be the one to start shouting first. When the hospital leaders arrive, everyone will naturally pin the blame on Lin Dakai.

Regardless, such an important event as the opening ceremony is being disrupted by a dispute within the student affairs office, which has drawn the attention of high-ranking officials in the department. The college leadership is bound to be furious.

And so it was settled. But unexpectedly, a young man in plainclothes suddenly stepped forward, trying to take control of the scene with an imposing air.

If this is suppressed by outsiders, how will Xu live his life in the courtyard in the future?

There's no way we can back out now.

With his mind racing and unsure of the other party's background, Director Xu chose to remain silent, intending to observe the situation before making a decision. He then gave a wink to the shrewd-eyed officer next to him.

Just when he was worried about where to vent his anger, the timid clerk received instructions from his superior and his momentum immediately increased. However, he still didn't dare to look at Lin Dakai, the head of the department, so he vented his anger on Chen Shu.

"Where did you come from, kid? What gives you the right to boss us around? Get out of the way and don't bother us!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Director Xu out of the corner of his eye and saw that his direct supervisor had tacitly approved of his provocation. He then raised his voice, pointed at Chen Shu with his finger, and his face darkened.

"Go quickly!"

After saying that, he took a few steps forward and pulled Chen Shu, preparing to push him out.

Having trained as a special police officer for a long time, how could Chen Shu be swayed by this guy who was just trying to intimidate others? With a gentle twist, the other person fell to the ground instead.

"You...you...you actually dared to lay a hand on me!"

Enraged, the shrewish clerk jumped up and charged recklessly at the young man who had embarrassed him in front of the leader.

The other two officers standing behind Director Xu, seeing that their colleague had been wronged, gathered around him.

The group pushed and shoved each other at the small door, accidentally knocking over Julie, who was watching the commotion from the side.

Chen Shu, who had originally intended to mediate the fight in a gentle manner, suddenly became angry when he saw his friend being accidentally knocked to the ground and not knowing if he was injured. His actions naturally became more aggressive.

Lin Dakai, who was already being blocked and made a fuss by Xu and his men, got angry and threw Zhou Qinghu off his blockade. He stepped forward with a red face and reprimanded Xu, telling him to quickly tell his subordinates to stop.

"Good. Such a commotion will surely attract the leaders of the institute. If it annoys the leaders of the department, Lin Dakai, as the top leader, will definitely suffer the consequences." Director Xu glanced at the few people pushing and shoving beside him. On the surface, he was listening attentively to Lin Dakai's reprimand, but he did not stop his subordinates from causing trouble at all.

coming!

Director Xu's spirits lifted.

"What's all this noise about! The leaders and parents are all upstairs, and you teachers are arguing down here! Do you have any manners as teachers?!" A man in a white shirt ran down the corridor, his face gloomy and serious. He approached and reprimanded the man in a low voice.

"Vice Dean Wang."

The noise suddenly stopped. The people who had been arguing and pushing stopped, looked at each other, and were at a loss. They lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Although Vice Dean Wang of the police academy ranks last in the leadership team, he is still a full-fledged director-level official and a truly important figure in the academy.
