South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"Yuemin! Yuemin! What's wrong with you!" Yuan Mu saw Zhong Yuemin stunned and immediately stepped forward and patted him.

In fact, Yuan Mu also knew that Zhou Xiaobai and Zhong Yuemin were in a good relationship. This was what Zhou Xiaobai told him in person, but Yuan Mu didn't care at all. Isn't this normal?

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay!" Zhong Yuemin reacted and laughed dryly.

"Then please sit down! I have already ordered the dishes." Yuan Mu said, motioning Zhong Yuemin to sit down.

Zhong Yuemin nodded, then sat opposite Yuan Mu, while Zhou Xiaobai sat next to Yuan Mu.

Now Zhong Yuemin finally understood why Zhou Xiaobai's attitude towards him on the phone was not the same as before. It seemed that she had a partner now. But that was also good. Yuan Mu deserved Zhou Xiaobai, but it was just a pity for Zhang Haiyang, who had been secretly in love with her for so many years, but in the end was won over by a guy who had known Zhou Xiaobai for less than a year.

In fact, Zhong Yuemin himself didn't know that in his heart he still liked Zhou Xiaobai a little, but now that she was with Yuan Mu, it would be impolite for him to have such thoughts.

Although he had known Yuan Mu for a short time, Zhong Yuemin still recognized his abilities and character, especially since Yuan Mu had saved them in the Forest of Death. This was a great favor, and he could only congratulate him out of emotion and reason.

"Yuan Mu! We have to have a good drink today. I've always wanted to have a drink with you, but I never had the chance. There are too few holidays in the army. Today is a good opportunity." Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.

"Yuemin, let's forget about it today. I have to send Xiaobai home after dinner. Tomorrow, tomorrow we will drink alone!" Yuan Mu waved his hand.

"I said that you two haven't even gotten married yet and you've been controlled by her. That won't do. Man, you have to have your own aura!" Zhong Yuemin glanced at Zhou Xiaobai and smiled.

"Go away! Do you think everyone is like you?" Zhou Xiaobai glared at Zhong Yuemin unhappily.

"Then I want to have a drink with Brother Yuan Mu, but you don't agree!"

"Okay, go ahead and drink it. I didn't say you can't drink it." Zhou Xiaobai said helplessly.

"What will you do when you get home if you drink too much?" Yuan Mu looked at Zhou Xiaobai.

"Don't worry, it's okay. If not, I'll ask my dad's driver to pick me up." Zhou Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Okay, why are you so unhappy? Come, have a drink!" Zhong Yuemin smiled and opened a bottle of white wine and poured it.

"Come here, Brother Yuan Mu, thank you for saving us in the Death Forest!" Zhong Yuemin raised his wine glass and said solemnly.

"Hey! I told you not to thank me. It's all my duty. How could I watch you guys wade through a minefield?" Yuan Mu waved his hand and clinked his glass with his.

"That's different. You still have to thank me. When there's a chance in the future, I'll invite you for a drink with Haiyang and Mantun." Zhong Yuemin said, and drank the wine in the glass with his head tilted back.

The atmosphere then became better and better. Zhong Yuemin talked about his childhood and the army from time to time. Yuan Mu also talked about his time as a prison guard in Ningyang and Harbin. But when Zhong Yuemin learned that Yuan Mu was still in school, he was stunned.

"You said you were in school now?"

"Yes, it's at Kyoto University of Political Science and Law!" Yuan Mu took a bite of the food Zhou Xiaobai picked for him and nodded.

"Why? Aren't you at the department level now? You can get promoted further if you work harder based on your merits."

"As a human being, you have to constantly enrich yourself, otherwise once you reach a certain position, you won't be able to move up any further." Yuan Mu smiled and shook his head.

"Okay! You have a long-term vision! When I retire one day, you have to protect me!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem. I'd really like to have you as the company commander of the reconnaissance company. But I guess I may not be in Kyoto by then. When the time comes, just write to me and I'll take care of it!" Yuan Mu said, patting his chest with a smile.

In fact, Yuan Mu was not being polite. He will definitely be working in the political and legal field in the next few years, so he must have a group of powerful people under him. He really needs people like Zhong Yuemin, who are good at taking action and solving cases.

Although he now has several confidants that he wants to cultivate, such as Mingyu, Youyu, and of course, Wang Xin, this is far from enough. After graduation, he will definitely be promoted to the deputy division level, and at the very least, he can be the police chief of a county.

Of course, it is also possible to become the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in a prefecture-level city, or become a deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Provincial Public Security Department, but if Yuan Mu were to choose, he would rather be a public security chief in a county. If he handles things properly, he might even be able to become a member of the Standing Committee and serve as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Of course, this is the best outcome, but Yuan Mu estimates that this is unlikely.

After all, he had no experience in governing. At most, he was an ordinary deputy county magistrate with the rank of deputy director. His main job was still the director of the Public Security Bureau, but that was not bad either.

"Why don't you stay in Kyoto?" Zhong Yuemin asked after hearing Yuan Mu's words.

"The environment in Kyoto is definitely not as chaotic as outside. I still want to work in a more difficult place. The people there are still suffering from oppression, and I hope to go there." Yuan Mu replied with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhong Yuemin admired Yuan Mu even more.

"Brother, I really admire you. You can stay in Kyoto, but you still want to go somewhere!"

According to Yuan Mu's contributions and Zhou Zhennan behind him, it would not be easy for him to stay in Kyoto, but he was willing to give up it all. How could he not admire him?

"Hey! Speaking of that, by the way, if there are any good fighters in your army who want to transfer to civilian jobs, you can contact me. When I graduate and work in a local area, I will definitely be short of people."

"That's no problem! This is a good thing. It's very difficult to demobilize and resettle people nowadays. I can rely on you as a big tree and find a good way out for my brothers!" Zhong Yuemin said in surprise.

"I'm serious. If one day in the future you really want to retire, please contact me and come to work with me. The environment may not be as good as here in Kyoto, but you can make better use of what you learned in the army and serve the people better."

"The society is in chaos now. You may not see the local situation because you are in the army all year round. There are too many hooligans and gangsters. There are many people fighting in the streets and slashing each other with knives every day. This has brought great inconvenience to the local security and the lives of the local people."

"When I get there, I will vigorously work to rectify this phenomenon, but I have too few people under my command. What I lack are people like you who are skilled in skills. You can play a greater role here, and what you have learned in the army will be worthwhile. What do you think?" Yuan Mu said seriously.

After hearing Yuan Mu's words, Zhong Yuemin lowered his head and began to think. In fact, he had already thought about retiring from the army, and Yuan Mu's words made him more determined to do so.
