Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 562 The final stubbornness
The night market street was as lively as ever, bustling with people, noisy and chaotic.

Wearing black gloves, the short Yan Song strutted arrogantly at the head of the special police patrol for the first time in his life.

He was full of energy and dressed in a neat police uniform, striding ahead like a proud rooster, attracting onlookers who took out their phones and snapped photos incessantly.

Big Grey, seemingly used to this scene, drooped its head and followed along with limp, unsteady steps.

Presumably, given her somewhat out-of-shape physique, such a walk would be quite strenuous.

Standing at the back leading the group, Chen Shu looked at the two people, one big and one small, with such different expressions, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head, thinking that this lineup was quite interesting.

Park Road isn't long; it's only about a kilometer from east to west, and you can walk the whole way in a few round trips. Police patrols are mainly to increase police visibility on the streets and deter petty thieves.

Chen Shu had the group stop at a street corner.

With few people around, it's a great place to rest.

After a while, a stylish young woman carrying a small paper bag with an open top came towards them from a distance, clearly with a specific goal in mind.

Judging from their posture, you can tell they're after Big Gray.

The young woman walked up to Yan Song, who was holding Big Grey's dog, and asked him with a light laugh if she could pet the police dog.

The big gray dog, which had been lying on the ground, seemed to have smelled something. It opened its dog eyes and stared excitedly at the packaging bag in the young lady's hand.

Chen Shu originally thought that Yan Song, a straight man who had never been in a relationship, would definitely take the opportunity to get close to the girl.

Unexpectedly, Yan Song refused, and even spoke with righteous indignation, saying that this constituted assaulting a police officer.

Seeing Yan Song's serious refusal, Chen Shu almost thought that this guy had probably gotten his head stuck in a door.

Such a pretty young lady assaulting a police officer?

This guy is destined to be a bachelor for life.

Fortunately, Zou Qing, who was disappointed in Zou Qing, rolled up her sleeves and prepared to take the stage.

Despite how she might make the male team members feel inferior at work, she is truly everyone's most reliable comrade-in-arms when dealing with outsiders.

Chen Shu glanced at Zou Qing with satisfaction, just as he was waiting for a divine intervention, but unexpectedly, Da Hui seemed to understand Yan Song's refusal and turned to glance at him.

The dog's eyes were full of contempt.

Then, without paying any attention, it took two steps forward and rubbed its head against the girl's leg.

Yan Song, with his slender arms and legs, naturally couldn't hold him back.

Big Grey's move immediately stunned everyone, including the young lady.

The young woman crouched down, beaming from ear to ear: "Officer, does this count as an assault?"

Yan Song gritted his teeth and exerted hidden force in his hands, but Da Hui didn't budge an inch. It didn't even bother to look back, and continued to rub against the young lady's long legs, even having the energy to keep swaying its big tail behind its rear.

Rocking back and forth, it was so much fun.

Afraid that Yan Song might utter another lie and scare the man, Zou Qing quickly went over and squatted down next to Big Gray. While patting Big Gray's head, she said with a grin, "That doesn't count, that's being cute! Come on, feel it, it's super warm and soft!"

Upon hearing this, the young lady happily touched the item for a while, and then pulled out a large chicken leg and handed it to her.

Big Grey saw this and immediately lay down, exposing his belly.

"Big Grey, where's your dignity? Have some backbone!" Yan Song said sternly, but Zou Qing slapped his hat and immediately quieted him down. The ending was alright; Big Grey still knew he could only eat after Yan Song nodded.

Yan Song initially wanted to refuse, but under Zou Qing's glaring eyes, he finally gave in and nodded with difficulty a few minutes later, which could be considered his last act of stubbornness.

Seeing this, Chen Shu turned to Ma Bowen and said, "I think we could organize an event where people download the 'Anti-Fraud Center APP' and pet police dogs. Pet Big Grey once, download the app. Who knows, we might be able to meet our team's monthly quota in a day."

Driven crazy by the app download task, Ma Bowen nodded vigorously: "Chen Da, let's not delay, how about we start tonight?"

Because of his research trip to NJ, Chen Shu hadn't been to work for quite some time. Seeing Ma Bowen's eager expression, he was a little puzzled and asked:

"Bowen, why are you in such a hurry?"

Ma Bowen said with a long face, "Boss Chen, ever since you arranged the 'Four Million On-Site Return of Stolen Goods Conference' last year, our brigade has completed the bureau's download target ahead of schedule. But those old guys in the headquarters who sit there without a care in the world have inflated our numbers for the next few months. They said that we special police don't usually have case targets and should share more of the pressure from other units."

Chen Shu smiled and said, "What they said makes some sense. So what if it's a bit higher? It can't be higher than the public security bureau or the police station, can it?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Bowen's expression completely broke down, and tears welled up in his eyes as he looked at the burly special police officer.

"Chen Da, they said that we special police officers don't have case quotas or have to work night shifts, and we have the most officers in the entire branch. We usually patrol the streets and have a lot of opportunities to encounter the public, so we should bear the most important responsibility in the entire branch."

"The most important burden?"

Chen Shu thought to himself, "This is quite a rare thing. When did the SWAT team end up taking on such a crucial responsibility?"
Ma Bowen stamped his foot: "Sigh! It's because we have the most quotas!"

"Wow, that's really not easy."

Chen Shu glanced at Big Gray. He saw the police dog nestled between two beautiful women, devouring a large chicken leg that one of them had given him, while its head was being stroked with great enthusiasm.

Imagining this glossy-furred creature, and then considering the highest quota number in the branch office... I wonder if I'll pet it all the time, maybe it'll go bald from being petted so much.

Ma Bowen choked up: "It was so difficult. In the beginning, everyone gave up their weekends and worked overtime, risking their lives to save time and space, and finally completed the task."

"Back then? What, is it that you can't finish it now?"

"Once you figure out the tricks, it becomes much simpler."

"What's the trick?"

Ma Bowen composed himself, glanced around a few times, and lowered his voice to say, "Brother Chen, I later found a shop on Taobao and bought it directly."

"You can buy this thing?"

At this moment, Ma Bowen was quite proud: "What can't I buy? Back when I was studying at the police academy, the brigade was doing things like buying Weibo followers and Douyin likes, and I bought them all along."

Chen Shu sighed, "The younger generation surpasses the older generation."

Ma Bowen chuckled for a while, then his face fell as if he had suddenly remembered something.

Chen Shu asked, "What happened? Didn't we resolve the quota issue?"

Ma Bowen said with a bitter face, "Chen Da, it all costs money. Each quota costs eight yuan! Sigh, I'm too embarrassed to ask the team members to split the cost, so we guys all paid for it ourselves. A few days ago, when I did the math, half a month's salary was gone just like that."

With such a high standard of food, it can be considered that he has a place to use his skills. Chen Shu glanced at the big gray dog, which was as shiny and smooth as silk, and wondered if he should buy a few more big dogs to take turns driving to get the quota.

If you pet it until it's bald, send it back to the unit to grow new fur, and replace it with another one to continue doing tasks.

If you calculate it that way, it might actually be quite cost-effective.
