Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

Such intense work left everyone feeling exhausted and unable to cope.

That noon, after having lunch in the cafeteria, they went to their dormitory for a short rest.

There weren't enough beds in the break room, so some people were resting by lying on the tables or leaning against the chairs.

After entering the lounge, Li Dawei, Yang Shu, and Zhao Jiwei collapsed onto the beds, all three appearing utterly exhausted.

Wu Mingcheng and Xia Jie followed them in at this time.

Li Dawei lay on the bed groaning.

"Oh my god, this is what the police are like? They're not what I imagined. Am I having a nightmare?"

Yang Shu didn't even have the strength to speak at this point; he just lay on the bed, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.

Xia Jie and Wu Mingcheng sat down in chairs, preparing to rest for a while.

Xia Jie, upon hearing Li Dawei's words, spoke up.

"That's how it is with the police at our local police stations; they mostly deal with trivial matters. You just get used to it."

Li Dawei then said sadly,

"Habits? What I need most right now is to get used to being scolded by my mentor,"

Yang Shu turned his head and said curiously,

"I think Officer Chen is a really nice person. He spoke to Mingcheng with a good attitude and showed a lot of respect for us newcomers."

Li Dawei was speechless for a moment before saying,

"No? Yang Shu, what are you saying? Can we compare to Mingcheng?"

Tell me, which of our veteran police officers doesn't like someone like Mingcheng? He's capable and knows how to handle people.

Whenever these senior colleagues ask us newcomers for a favor, they always go to Mingcheng first.

"We only get to run errands, print things out, or get stamps done,"

Upon hearing Li Dawei's words, Wu Mingcheng immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Chapter 294 I also want to go on a mission

At this moment, Li Dawei sighed again and said,

"Sigh, my master doesn't really like me. I think if I were to partner with your master, we would definitely have great chemistry; we're both action-oriented types."

Unlike with my master, sigh, I feel like it's so difficult to communicate with him, and I have to rack my brains trying to figure out how to please him.”

Wu Mingcheng had been looking through some files and records in the office these past few days, and learned about some of the things that had happened to Chen Xincheng.

Then he spoke,

"Dawei, Uncle Chen always scolds you for your own good; these are valuable lessons."

Hearing Wu Mingcheng say this, Li Dawei didn't argue, but he still didn't quite understand.

Seeing Li Dawei's reaction, Wu Mingcheng knew he had talked in vain.

However, he only understands some things after experiencing them himself.

Upon hearing Li Dawei's words, Yang Shu suddenly felt a surge of pride.

16 He said with a look of admiration,

"My master is really impressive, he's a lot like a policeman,"

Hearing Yang Shu's words, Xia Jie smiled gently and said,

"Looks just like a policeman? Isn't he a policeman?"

Wu Mingcheng understood the meaning behind Yang Shu's words.

Compared to Chen Xincheng's conservatism, Cao Jianjun was more radical, which better suited the mentality of these newcomers who were eager to make a name for themselves and prove their worth.

Before Yang Shu could answer, Li Dawei interjected.

"Xia Jie, you're the most comfortable,"

Wu Mingcheng chuckled at this moment. What was wrong with Li Dawei? He was turning his attention to Xia Jie again.

After listening, Xia Jie asked in return,

Tell me, why am I the most comfortable?

Li Dawei said with a smile.

"I've heard that Director Cheng was originally your father's apprentice. He'll definitely treat you well; it won't be much easier for him than for us."

Xia Jie didn't deny it, she said,

"Yes, not just him, the whole police station has been very nice to me. So what? Are you jealous?"

Li Dawei said jokingly,

"Of course, I'm definitely jealous,"

Wu Mingcheng shook his head and said,

"Do you know why everyone in our police station treats Chief Cheng so well?"

Li Dawei said directly, without any concern.

"Isn't it just because Xia Jie is the old director's daughter?"

Wu Mingcheng shook his head and said,

"You think it's that simple? I can only say you're incredibly superficial."

Hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, Li Dawei also retorted somewhat indignantly.

"Then tell me, why?"

Wu Mingcheng glanced at Xia Jie and said,

"Do you understand what it feels like for a girl to grow up without a father? She lacks a father's love."

Other children have their fathers' love and care, but Xia Jie doesn't.

When Xia Jie saw Wu Mingcheng speak up for her, she felt a warmth in her heart, and she also felt cared for by someone.

Perhaps because of Li Dawei's own experiences, he empathized with the situation and realized that his words were somewhat inappropriate.

He immediately apologized.

"Xiaojie, I didn't mean it that way, please don't mind,"

Xia Jie said very frankly.

“It’s okay. Actually, what you said is true, but the more things are like this, the more I need to achieve something to prove that I, Xia Jie, can also be a good police officer and not let everyone down.”

Yang Shu then advised,

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself,"

Li Dawei was somewhat displeased with what he heard.

"So what if you're under pressure? Pressure is what makes a good policeman,"

Yang Shu explained,

"It might not be so easy for Xia Jie. Everyone in the institute is protecting her, but too much protection is like a shield."

Li Dawei said somewhat dismissively,

“Xia Jie isn’t an ordinary girl; she graduated from police academy and doesn’t need anyone’s protection at all.”

Wu Mingcheng, watching from the sidelines, found it amusing. The two then began debating Xia Jie.

Xia Jie realized this too, and said somewhat angrily,

"Hey, wait a minute? You two are making a big deal out of me now?"

Li Dawei and Yang Shu exchanged glances, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Upon seeing this, Wu Mingcheng's lips curled into a smile.

Zhao Jiwei suddenly interjected,

"Aren't you tired? Why don't you take a break?"

The group of people then all looked at Zhao Jiwei on the other bed, somewhat taken aback.

If Zhao Jiwei hadn't said anything, they would have almost forgotten that he was in the dorm too; he was just so inconspicuous.

Zhao Jiwei also felt somewhat out of place in their conversation.

After all, those guys were out on calls every day, while he was stuck in the monitoring room watching the surveillance footage all day.

　683 After thinking about it for a while, he stood up, left the lounge with a dejected look, and returned to the monitoring room.

Li Dawei and the others exchanged glances, then spoke cautiously.

"Did we disturb Jiwei's rest?"

Yang Shu said uncertainly,

"Probably not,"
