South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Yuan Mu took a puff of cigarette and then smiled and shook his head.

"Afraid? How can you not be afraid of death?"

"Are you afraid of death? Why would you come up and block the bullet for me?" Mr. Zhou asked immediately.

"You saw the situation at that time. I didn't have much time to think. I am a police officer. Serving the people wholeheartedly is not an empty talk. Now that I put on this uniform, I must ensure the safety of people's lives and property."

"So, I didn't think too much at the time. I just wanted to save you and kill the other party. It would be best if I could survive. Now it seems that I made the right bet." Yuan Mu chuckled.

Zhou Zhennan looked at Yuan Mu and nodded with satisfaction again. Now, the more he looked at Yuan Mu, the more he liked her.

"Xiao Yuan, you said it very well. Serving the people wholeheartedly is never just empty words."

"By the way, how old are you?"

"Twenty-six."

"Married?"

"not yet."

"Oh, you're not young at 26, why aren't you married yet? Are you too picky?"

"Not really. The main reason is that there is no suitable one. Marriage is a lifelong event and cannot be rushed. Fortunately, I am still young and there is still plenty of time in the future."

"Then your parents at home don't urge you? Aren't they anxious?"

"I would like them to urge me, but it's impossible. My parents died a long time ago due to an accident." Yuan Mu shook his head with a wry smile.

"Oh, look at me, I'm sorry, Xiao Yuan." Mr. Zhou said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's okay, it's all over, and I'm used to it." Yuan Mu waved his hand.

Mr. Zhou nodded and changed the subject.

"Xiao Yuan, I was on the train the whole time, including later on the platform. I found that you are very brave, intelligent, and skilled. Have you ever thought about developing in other places?"

Yuan Mu was stunned.

"Uncle Zhou, what do you mean?"

"Oh, nothing interesting, just chatting casually." Mr. Zhou waved his hand.

"Oh, but I guess I can't go anywhere else for the time being." Yuan Mu shook his head.

"Why?"

"Because the college entrance examination is about to begin, I will take it and then go to college." Yuan Mu said with a smile.

This time it was Old Zhou who was stunned. Yuan Mu actually wanted to go to college. His future was bright now. With this achievement, he might be able to make further progress. Going to college now?

"Isn't it a pity to go to college now? You are at the peak of your career."

"People need to keep improving. Maybe if I stay here now, I can improve in a short period of time, but I may not be able to do it in the future. Further study is for the future."

"Xiao Yuan, I thought you were the one who lost your mind, but it turned out to be me. You have quite big ambitions!" Old Zhou laughed.

"There's no other way. Since you're in this line of work, if you want to put your ideas into practice, you have to climb to the corresponding position. Only then can you realize your ambitions and implement your ideas, right?" Yuan Mu said with a smile.

Mr. Zhou nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, Xiao Yuan, I didn't expect your level of thinking is so high!"

"Hey! What kind of ideological realm? To put it bluntly, I also have selfish motives." Yuan Mu waved his hand.

"Hey! That's different. It's normal to have selfish desires. Who doesn't have selfish desires? The main thing is whether the selfish desires can be put into practice. If you can keep your original intention, then it's okay to have some selfish desires."

"Maybe." Yuan Mu said with a smile.

"So you are going to take the college entrance examination next, right?"

"Yes, I definitely have to take it. In fact, I wanted to take the college entrance examination when the college entrance examination was just resumed, but later I was delayed because of many things. Now I am not young anymore, and it will be too late if I don't go to college."

"Then what about your job here? If you are admitted to another place, you will have a gap of several years." Mr. Zhou frowned.

"I have reported this matter to Director Zhang Shaohuai before, and he said he is willing to help me find a temporary position in the city where I go to school."

"And then? After you finish college, will you return to Ningyang? Will you continue to work in the railway system?"

"Yes, after all, Director Zhang has been very good to me, and we can't be ungrateful, right?" Yuan Mu nodded with a smile.

"With your ability, it's a waste of your talent to work in the railway system. I, an old man, also have some ability. If you want to go to another department, I can help you." Old Zhou looked at Yuan Mu and said with a smile.

Yuan Mu was stunned, then shook his head.

"Uncle Zhou, I appreciate your kindness, but let's just forget it. I can also shine on the railway. After all, there are many railway cases these days, such as this one. This case is not small."

"Besides, the leaders here also think highly of me, and I can better exert my enthusiasm here."

In fact, Yuan Mu still wanted to be transferred, but he couldn't agree to Mr. Zhou directly. He knew that Mr. Zhou was not an ordinary person, and this favor should not be used lightly. He understood that the more favors are used, the thinner they become.

And for someone like Mr. Zhou, it is very likely that the favor will be gone after being used once, so he has to choose a good time to use it.

It could be a critical period for your promotion, or it could be when you encounter something you can't handle, but it's not now.

After hearing what Yuan Mu said, Mr. Zhou looked at Yuan Mu, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You, young comrade, are quite cunning!" It was obvious that Mr. Zhou understood what Yuan Mu meant, but he had no intention of exposing him.

"Okay, this is my contact information. I live in Kyoto. If you come to Kyoto, you must visit my home." Mr. Zhou then took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yuan Mu.

When Yuan Mu looked at the phone number and address above, his heart started pounding. It clearly said No. 1, Xishan Courtyard, Western Suburbs of Kyoto.

"Okay, you have a good rest. I'm relieved to see that you are okay. I'll leave first." After saying that, Mr. Zhou stood up and left with a smile.

"Have a nice trip!" Yuan Mu subconsciously wanted to stand up and see him off, but as soon as he moved, he felt a pain in his chest. In the end, he did not stand up. He saw that Mr. Zhou had already left the room.

Looking at Mr. Zhou's back, Yuan Mu seemed to be thinking about something. This was a real big shot. Now the country was divided into eleven major military regions, and the Kyoto Military Region was the biggest one.

I was really lucky this time. I managed to save such a big shot without making any noise. This big shot is very kind to me.

Yuan Mu grinned happily, put the note into the space, and then picked up the cigarette given by Mr. Zhou and started smoking.

Now he knows what kind of cigarette this is. It must be a special supply and definitely not available on the market. You know what, it's really delicious!
