Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

Immediately, the director himself also laughed.

"Hey, Cao Jianjun, you've finally gotten your revenge."

Two weeks ago, Cao Jianjun personally arrested his mother-in-law.

But who could have imagined that just half a month later, on the day his mother-in-law was released, would be Cao Jianjun's award ceremony?

The officers from the branch office have arrived.

A sedan and a van, both with the word "Police" on their stickers.

They drove into the police station courtyard one after the other. The car door opened, and Director Song and his entourage got out.

"Oh, welcome, welcome..."

The director smiled like a child and went up to greet them with great joy: "Welcome Director Song, welcome to all the leaders of our branch."

"Master, why are you always so happy?"

Director Song was afraid of Director Wang's expression, always feeling that another trap was waiting for him.

"Hey, Director Song, you're leaders! We're so happy to have you visit our Balihe Police Station."

Director Wang spoke with conviction: "What's more, you've come to award medals to our comrades, which makes us even happier."

“Master, if you can improve public satisfaction, I’ll be even happier than you are.”

Director Song's sudden remark left the director speechless, his smile vanishing and his expression turning serious.

"Oh dear, Director Song, we have to take things one step at a time."

"Master, you're retiring next year..."

"It won't have any impact."

"Master, you should pay more attention too."

"Oh, Director Song, our institute has always been working very hard."

"..."

Director Song was speechless. He rolled his eyes at Director Wang Shouyi and turned to leave.

Next, the awarding ceremony for the medals at the Balihe Police Station entered the preparation stage, and the colleagues in the station were busy moving chairs, microphones and speakers.

Cao Jianjun was surrounded by several former colleagues as he came downstairs.

He was dressed like a groom, in a police uniform, with a peaked cap and a gleaming silver national emblem.

Wearing a big red flower on his chest, he looked energetic and even a little shy as he walked onto the podium.

Almost at the same time.

Xu Fengcui, the mother-in-law, has been released.

Cao Jianjun's sister-in-law and father-in-law came out of the police station with his mother-in-law. As they descended the steps, they were drawn to the lively award ceremony taking place in the courtyard and couldn't help but look over.

28. Double happiness! I've got a wife!

"Comrade Cao Jianjun, with his outstanding professional skills and excellent professional sensitivity..."

"The timely discovery and reporting of the criminal acts of suspect Bao Daquan provided an effective opportunity for our branch to make timely deployments."

"And in this arrest operation, the bravery and fearlessness of the people's police were demonstrated."

"He placed the safety of the people above his own, and risked his life to capture the criminal suspect."

"Therefore, the Bureau has decided to award Comrade Cao Jianjun a second-class merit as encouragement."

Director Song stood on the podium, facing the microphone, and delivered his award speech in a powerful and resonant voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the seats below.

Cao Jianjun grinned like a fool, showing off his two rows of white teeth.

Following procedure, Director Song presented Cao Jianjun with a medal and certificate.

Next, Cao Jianjun gave a speech, expressing his motivation and loyalty.

…………

the other side.

The main entrance of the police station.

The mother-in-law, Xu Fengcui, was being supported by her eldest daughter, Zhou Cong, while the father-in-law leaned on a cane with one hand and had the other behind his back.

The family of three watched the award ceremony stage intently.

"Mom, I'm leaving."

Because the distance was still quite far, Cao Jianjun's sister-in-law, Zhou Cong, was afraid that her parents would see them, so she hurriedly urged them on.

"and many more……"

Just as Xu Fengcui, the mother-in-law, was about to turn around, she heard a familiar voice coming from the microphone.

Suddenly, Xu Fengcui turned her head again: "That...that's Cao Jianjun?"

The eldest sister-in-law, Zhou Cong, looked a little downcast: "Oh, Mom, it has nothing to do with us anyway, let's go."

"What are we going to do?"

The mother-in-law was furious; her chest heaved, and she gasped for breath: "Oh! Cao Jianjun has ruined our family like this, and now he's a hero?"

The father-in-law just sighed and didn't say a word.

"Mom, this is not the same thing."

The eldest sister-in-law, Zhou Cong, helplessly tried to dissuade him: "A few days ago, someone almost killed someone and dumped the body on the back mountain."

"It was Cao Jianjun who first discovered it, and then he personally arrested the person."

"You don't know, it's been all over the city news these past few days, so... that's why they awarded Cao Jianjun a second-class merit."

"..."

It would have been better if they hadn't heard these words; upon hearing them, the mother-in-law's expression became even more unpleasant.

"This is just a case of a blind cat catching a dead mouse..."

"Oh, Mom, it's alright, you just got out, let's not be angry anymore."

Zhou Cong was too preoccupied with his anger to care. He helped his mother and slowly left the police station.

Just as they were about to get on the bus, Zhou Cong and his father exchanged a glance, and Zhou Cong said, "Mom, we have to go back to Green Vine."

"???"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Fengcui trembled, her eyes quivering as she turned around: "The...the house is gone?"

Zhou Cong nodded dejectedly and helplessly: "The police gave us seven days to prepare, and we still have three days left."

Xu Fengcui's eyes immediately reddened.

Looking back on the past glory, and remembering the time when my eldest son-in-law, Sun Youguang, was around, those were such happy times.

And now... it's all gone.

"Go back."

The father-in-law sighed helplessly: "Congcong still has children."

As they were talking, the ride-hailing car that Zhou Cong had called arrived, and the family of three got into the car one after another and drove away.

Almost at the same time.

Cao Jianjun's voice, transmitted through the loud speakers, enveloped the entire institute.

"The people's police serve the people. I, Cao Jianjun, will dedicate my limited life to the boundless cause of police work."

After speaking, Cao Jianjun stood under the bright red national flag, facing the national emblem.

Raise your hand!

salute!

…………

It was almost noon when the awarding ceremony ended.

The director insisted on having the branch office staff stay for a meal in the canteen, but Director Song refused no matter what and jumped into his car as if fleeing.

The director was very upset.

So, standing in the police station courtyard, he watched Director Song and his men leave with a big smile on his face.

Cao Jianjun, Cheng Suo, the instructor, Gao Suo, and others accompanied him, exchanging wry smiles.

"Hey, Jianjun, are you satisfied now?"

The director snapped out of his daze and looked at Cao Jianjun as if he were scolding a child: "Let me tell you, although you have received a second-class merit, you must not be arrogant or complacent because of it."

"clear."

Cao Jianjun always held the director in high esteem, treating him as an elder.
