Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 908 Badura (Part 1)
Aside from his slightly darker skin, this enthusiastic class monitor has a fairly standard Chinese face. If you were to drop him off on a busy pedestrian street in China, no one would think he was a foreigner.

"Hey, hello, my name is Badura, what's your room number?" Badura walked over and politely pressed the elevator open button, only letting go after everyone in the elevator had come out.

Chen Shu was taken aback. In all his years as a policeman, he had traveled all over the country and done a lot of official business, but this was the first time he had ever encountered soldiers standing guard for them at the hotel.

Back when he had just graduated and was on rotation with the city's special police, Chen Shu had received some temporary security assignments for high-ranking Chinese officials visiting Dongzhou. However, those officials were already very important figures in Beijing in his eyes, and the people on duty at the hotels were all police officers.

I've hardly ever seen any soldiers. You know, the security level for soldiers is the highest.

This made Chen Shu feel somewhat flattered.

Badula was quite skilled; after getting the guest's room number, he led him all the way to the room door, and even after Jiang Hai closed the door, his grinning mouth and white teeth still left a deep impression.

“Professor Ma, these soldiers don’t seem to be monitoring us, well, they seem more like protecting us.” Chen Shu walked to the window, put two fingers together, and slightly lifted the curtain to look downstairs.

Looking down from above, one could see several large pickup trucks with long-barreled heavy machine guns mounted on them, each exuding a muscular presence. There were even two soldiers sitting on the truck bed on guard in each vehicle.

Ma Rongcheng walked over to Chen Shu, followed Chen Shu's gaze downwards, and shook his head, saying, "Officer Chen, to be honest, this is also my first time carrying out this kind of overseas mission, I'm quite inexperienced. But then again, this group of people seems to be fine, and this is Yangon, which is a major city and tourist destination in Myanmar, so the security shouldn't be bad."

Xiao Wang from the Donghai Provincial Department unscrewed the free bottled water he had just taken from the bar, and while drinking it, he looked down and said, "Hey, you know what, with this kind of scene, I do feel a bit like the ancient Chinese sending angels to those small countries for diplomacy."

After gulping down a large bottle of water, Xiao Wang burped and suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Hey, Lao Ma, if this group of people comes with us to Dalalin to investigate a case, can we just walk around there like we own the place?"

Hearing this, Chen Shu turned his gaze away from downstairs, glanced at the young Xiao Wang, and thought to himself that this secretary of Director Zhu was not at all cunning or arrogant. Although it would be more convenient for everyone to get along with him, he was indeed completely different from the shrewd and calculating secretaries that Chen Shu had imagined.

Previously in Yunnan Province, Xiao Wang even held a formal ceremony to determine whether he would accept the organization's test. Just now at the police station, he even put on a show of saluting Chen Shu and requesting further instructions.

Chen Shu found all of their actions along the way a little strange.

This is not meant to be derogatory; it's just that, according to normal understanding, a trusted confidant who can work alongside a high-ranking leader must not only be politically reliable but also be adept at navigating social situations, and most importantly, must be able to keep a tight lip.

Outwardly, one should be taciturn.

and many more!

Thinking about this, Chen Shu suddenly realized that since Xiao Wangba was not good at social maneuvering but had a wide mouth, the remaining condition must be extremely tough, thus covering up his lack of emotional intelligence.

Including this time when he came to convey the mission to him, Chen Shu felt that there was no need for him to stay by his side and come to northern Myanmar. He was not an ancient general who had to send a supervisor when he went out to do business.

As Zhu's personal secretary, how could you leave Zhu's office for so long?

"Haha, then we must be ruthless." Ma Rongcheng didn't mind Xiao Wang's attempt to get close to him at all, and happily agreed. "If we can't reason with them when we're investigating a case, it doesn't stop these guys with guns from helping us to give us some advice."

After saying that, Ma Rongcheng let out a long breath and said very softly, as if he were talking to himself, "After this case is finished, I should be able to stay in the hall."

Hearing Ma Rongcheng's remark, Chen Shu, standing to the side, immediately realized that Xiao Wang was probably sent by some important figure to accumulate merit. Being able to stay by Director Zhu's side as his personal secretary, this kid's connections must be exceptionally long.

Zhu Yiba, who had just finished washing his face in the restroom, pointed his thumb towards the door and said, "That guy outside must have been trained in our country. No wonder he looks and acts like a soldier from our country."

"Brother Yiba, how did you figure out that guy had trained in our country? Was it because he could speak Mandarin?" Jiang Hai tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "Hmm, now that you mention it, he seems a bit different from other soldiers."

"Cuffs. The cuffs on this soldier named Badura's camouflage uniform are rolled up to our unit's standard. The other soldiers just roll up their cuffs haphazardly." Zhu Yiba explained to Jiang Hai with a smile. It was clear that Zhu Yiba valued and was proud of his former military background.

Chen Shu watched silently from the side without saying a word.

"Wow, no wonder people in ancient times said they could tell which sect someone was just by looking at their moves!" Jiang Hai was still shouting and yelling in the room like a big boy.

Chen Chuan retorted bluntly, "Hey, it's just his Mandarin with a northern accent. I could tell from just half a sentence that this guy had been in the north and was a soldier. Isn't he one of those officers who come to China for exchanges? And all that cufflinking, isn't it tiring?"

For once, Zhu Yiba did not refute Chen Chuan's sarcasm, but nodded seriously: "Yes, so this guy named Badura must have a pretty high rank. Don't treat him like a security guard later."

"Security guard treatment? The M16 in his hand doesn't look like something a security guard would carry around." Chen Chuan continued his banter with Zhu Yiba, as if it were a very amusing thing.

Little did they know that Chen Chuan had been teasing Chen Shu in this way for a long time.

I just don't know when it started, but such occasions have become rare.

Jiang Hai plopped down on the single bed covered with white sheets, leaned back, and let out a long sigh: "This is so comfortable, I wish I could lie here a little longer."

Seeing Jiang Hai speak, Chen Shu coughed twice and then said, "Why don't you stay in Yangon? I see this is a big operation, and as the coordination center, there must be a lot going on here. It's also safer."

Before anyone else could answer, Ma Rongcheng, the only outsider in this small circle, was the first to step forward and chuckled as he advised, "Officer Chen, you're now the commander of Da Lalin, and the official documents have been issued. As the head of the action team, in my experience, you won't be able to get anything done if you don't bring some of your own people with you."

This is true.

As the commander parachuted in, Chen Shu was especially important because he was a police officer from another country who came to handle the affairs of those team members' home countries. Although these affairs were commonplace in their countries, everyone was used to them.

But if it's laid bare in the open, under the watchful eyes of the whole world, everyone, no matter who they are, will still have some sense of shame.

How can you get your subordinates to work under such circumstances?
How can we successfully complete the assigned tasks?
Ma Rongcheng had staked his entire future on this trip to Myanmar with Chen Shu and others, aiming for a resounding success. He had already dedicated the most precious and youthful years of his life to the people, and now he had to think about his future.

Of course, the main purpose of this crackdown on telecom fraud in northern Myanmar must be to serve the people, uphold justice for the people, and punish criminals. Staying in the provincial department is just a minor matter that needs to be mentioned. Ma Rongcheng deeply agrees.

"Then let's go."

Chen Shu picked up his luggage decisively and said calmly.
