Name: My father Yuan Mu

New readers may have trouble understanding this book, as it's a sequel to my previous book, "South and North: A Prison Guard's Beginning." That book was based on the TV series "South and North," and many of the characters are from the show. I've tried my best to explain the relationships and conflicts between these supporting characters and the protagonist, Yuan Mu. I should also mention that this book features two main characters: Yuan Mu and his son, Yuan Zhihao.

Yuan Zhihao is still too young, so for now, this story is written from Yuan Mu's perspective. Yuan Zhihao will appear after a period of transition. There are also many other perspectives, all written from the perspectives of various supporting characters. If this causes any inconvenience to you, it's the author's fault.

[Xiaobo would like to apologize in advance. There are indeed many stories that were not completed in the previous book, so I can only move them here. I still hope that readers will forgive and support me.]

[Also, regarding updates, I can only update about two chapters a day right now because I have my own job and writing novels is just a side job. However, as long as I have time, I will definitely update more often. I hope all readers will support me. It would be even better if you could give me some free gifts!]

"Okay! Okay! Stop arguing and listen to me!" Tang Gangyi frowned and slammed the table a few times.

The three of them fell silent and looked at Tang Gangyi, but from their angry expressions it was clear that they were very unconvinced.

"This matter is a done deal. The provincial standing committee just approved this proposal today. I guess the document will be issued in a few days. I will be suspended."

"Director Tang! Why? The order was given by Zhao Lichun! You were obeying his order, so doesn't he protect you?" He Zhao said angrily.

"That's right, Director Tang! This wasn't your fault in the first place. You were just following orders. Why should you be suspended? This isn't fair!"

"Look, you're saying that again. I've already told you that you're no longer the little police officers you were back then. You're all leading cadres. How can there be so many right and wrong?"

"There was a gambling element to this matter from the beginning. I just lost the bet. I can't blame anyone else. Blame it on my greed. This kind of high-level game is not something I can participate in. Now that it has come to this, I accept it." Tang Gangyi closed his eyes and sighed.

"Director Tang! How can you admit that? You're only forty-six years old this year! You only started your career when you were thirty-six! And you've been in this position for ten years!"

"We've all followed you step by step to get to where you are today. We know you best! You're not greedy or possessive, you're dedicated to your work, you're capable, you're tolerant of your subordinates, and you never let them take the blame!"

"How many major cases have you solved over the years? I still remember seven years ago, when you were still the captain of the Criminal Investigation Division! Back then, you personally led a team to hunt down a gang of gun smugglers! And you were shot twice!"

"Five years ago, you personally led a team to arrest a child trafficking gang, and one of the criminals stabbed you in the chest. The knife was only two centimeters away from your heart. If you hadn't been rushed to the hospital in time, you would have died!"

"We remember every single one of these things! There are so many more that I can't finish talking about them even if I sit here all night! Even a good official like you, a good policeman of the people, is about to be suspended. Tell me, do we still have the confidence to be good policemen?" Cui Honggang stood up and roared, as if he wanted to roar out all his anger, his face flushed red.

After hearing his words, Tang Gangyi's thoughts drifted back to many years ago. Thinking back on the things he had done and the cases he had solved over the years, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Yes, he asked himself, he was a good policeman, but these people seemed to have forgotten their original intentions. After sitting in this position, they still wanted to move forward, otherwise they would not have done it themselves. He could have let the people below go, and he would have stayed behind the scenes, then this incident would basically not have affected him, but there were not so many ifs.

"Okay! Stop talking!"

"No! I'm going to say it!" Cui Honggang's eyes were red. This was the first time he went against Tang Gangyi's words.

Tang Gangyi looked at him and sighed helplessly.

"I will use all my connections to transfer the three of you out. If you stay here, you will definitely be liquidated by the new director. The future may depend on you. I can't help you much."

"Director Tang! We're not going anywhere! We'll stay here and see how the new director will deal with us! At worst, I'll just take off this police uniform!" The three men shouted in indignation.

"Bang!" Tang Gangyi glared, slammed the table and stood up.

"Asshole! What bullshit are you talking about! Don't you know how hard it is for you to get to where you are today? He Zhao! Isn't your mother going to be treated?"

"Cui Honggang! Your son isn't going to school? And you, Li Haoran! Your whole family depends on your salary. If you quit, what will happen to your family? They'll starve!"

Tang Gangyi's sudden anger made the three of them lower their heads for a moment. They were indeed angry. If they really left their current jobs, their wages would also decrease, and they really could not guarantee their family's life. Each of them had a family to support.

In fact, with their status, if they wanted money, they could earn a lot of money just by raising their hands. But under the influence of Tang Gangyi, they always kept their original intentions and never asked for bribes or bribes, so this also led to their tight life. Of course, this is only relatively speaking, they are still much richer than most families.

After all, as leading cadres, their salary, bonuses, and various welfare benefits throughout the year are still very good. If they didn't have so many people to support, these salaries and bonuses would be enough for them to live a good life.

"It's settled! I'll use my connections to transfer you out and try to get you into better positions!"

Tang Gangyi has made up his mind. He will go to Zhao Lichun tomorrow. Since you failed to save me, I will make a few requests to you. Is that not too much?

. . . . . . . . .

Some are happy while others are sad. Tang Gangyi is full of worry, but it is different for Wang Xin.

Wang Xin was processing documents in the office when Qi Tongwei suddenly called him and started by congratulating him.

"Brother Xin! I have to congratulate you!"

This confused Wang Xin, but after hearing what Qi Tongwei said, Wang Xin became happy, thinking that he was going to be promoted. However, he quickly calmed down.

Being promoted from the director of Luzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau to the director of Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau seems like a promotion, but in fact, it is not the case. Zhao Lichun is the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee. Wouldn't he have to endure bullying when he got there?

Moreover, the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau is not his base camp. He has been working in the Luzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau for more than four years. It can be said that everyone from top to bottom listens to him and he has the final say. But when he arrived in Jingzhou, everything had to start all over again.

Yuan Mu didn't reveal any information about this matter to him. He just found out that after being an official for so many years, Wang Xin is no longer the rookie he used to be. He also has his own opinions on politics.

He quickly analyzed Yuan Mu's intention. This was to make arrangements towards Jingzhou. He was Yuan Mu's first move. He knew that the Public Security Bureau Director of Handong Province was Yuan Mu's man. Now that he became the Public Security Bureau Director, it was equivalent to catching the public security department in one fell swoop and controlling the violent institutions, which was equivalent to having a lot of say.

But this step is difficult to take. There is no one from Jingzhou City Bureau who has him. If he goes, won't he be a puppet director? It seems that this matter needs to be considered in the long run. He must go. This is Yuan Mu's intention and he can't help but go. Moreover, this is also a step up for him.

Although he knew that Lu Zhou would be promoted sooner or later, that would probably be a few years later. Being promoted to deputy director now would lay a good foundation for the future. With his relationship with Yuan Mu and his own abilities, it would not be impossible for him to be promoted to the next level in a few years.
