Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 6 Change of Face
Lin Qing found a random seat in the library on the second floor and looked through the tablet for more than an hour before he stopped.

"My memory seems to have improved a lot."

Lin Qing put down the tablet and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This 46th version of the Chaoyang training method is very comprehensive in improving physical fitness. It is said that muscle tissue strength, bone hardness, nerve reaction speed, vision and hearing, memory... and even the sixth sense may be improved.

Coupled with his ability as a master of memory, he is not far from having a photographic memory.

If we continue like this, it won’t be long before the written test will no longer be a problem.

Although the written test of the inspection system covers a wide range of content and requires reading a lot of books, there are very few parts involving logical thinking, and most of them only require rote memorization.

"It's almost ten o'clock."

Lin Qing glanced at the time and without wasting any time, he hurried downstairs.

The swearing-in ceremony for the new acting captain is about to begin.

……

In the auditorium, in addition to the inspectors and temporary inspectors from the six groups, members of the branch's command center, political department, logistics department, etc. were also present.

Just as Lin Qing guessed, the new acting captain was indeed the young man in sportswear whom he met at the stairs in the morning.

Only now he was wearing a patrol uniform with two pairs of wings and a star on his epaulettes, signifying his rank as a third-level patrol officer.

After everyone sang the Internationale, the new captain Xiao, as the oath-taker, led the six team leaders to take a collective oath.

"As a member of the Earth Alliance patrol system, I hereby swear: I will firmly support the absolute leadership of the World Government, be loyal to the First Charter, uphold the authority of the Constitution, perform my statutory duties, and dedicate myself to the noble patrol cause..."

Also sitting in the audience were the branch chiefs and leaders from the municipal bureau who served as oath-taker.

After the oath was taken and the leader finished speaking, the ceremony for the new acting captain to take office was finally over.

After the announcement, the leaders left first.

Soon, except for a few people, most of the people in the auditorium were inspectors from the six groups of the inspection team and a group of temporary inspectors.

"Captain Chen is injured and hospitalized. I will be leading the patrol work temporarily."

Captain Xiao stood on the stage, looking at the inspectors below, and said sincerely: "I am not as experienced as Captain Chen, but the inspection mission does not allow me to learn slowly, so I can only ask my colleagues to play their roles and actively cooperate with the work. I will do my best and abide by my duties."

I don’t know which bootlicker who wanted to get ahead in the audience started applauding first, and then a group of people followed suit.

When the applause stopped, Captain Xiao continued:

"Inspection work is extremely important and cannot tolerate any carelessness or sloppiness. Whether I am the acting captain or a temporary inspector, we should perform our duties conscientiously and strictly observe discipline."

Having said this, he glanced around and said:

"But I also know that no organization can be perfect. There will always be omissions. There are also temporary inspectors in our team who do not meet the recruitment rules. This not only affects discipline, but also lacks professional quality. When performing tasks in the future, it may affect the development of inspection work. I believe this is something that no one wants to see."

As soon as the new captain Xiao said this, many inspectors subconsciously turned their eyes to Lin Qing.

If you want to get into the patrol team, even as a temporary patroller, you must at least have the connections of the team leader.

Several team leaders arranged relatives or friends to serve as temporary inspectors. After all, they were not on the payroll and did not have access to any confidential information. The work was simple and easy and they could do it even without professional training, so it became tacit approval.

Normally, as long as it is not too excessive, even the leaders of the municipal bureau will not care about such trivial matters.

And Captain Xiao had just arrived, and he wanted to settle such a small matter so fairly and honestly. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was obviously targeting Captain Chen.

After all, everyone else is just affected.

“I won’t name any names.”

Captain Xiao said calmly: "If you take the initiative to resign and write a self-criticism, the punishment will be waived."

There was silence at first among the temporary inspectors below the stage, and then a few of them hesitated for a moment before standing up one after another. Soon, five temporary inspectors stood up.

In addition to feeling helpless, several people looked at Lin Qing with some indignation.

If it weren't for Lin Qing, they wouldn't have lost this easy and lucrative job.

"Gone?"

Captain Xiao spoke in a low voice.

Many inspectors couldn't help but look at Lin Qing. Now that things had come to this, did Captain Chen's cousin still think that he hadn't been discovered?

"Do you really need me to call out names?" Captain Xiao's eyes slowly swept across the temporary inspectors, and finally stopped on Lin Qing, and said: "Lin Qing, you..."

"Captain Xiao."

Captain Xiao had just said the name when he heard a voice suddenly ring out.

He turned around and saw that it was Chief Gao from the Political Work Department who had not left yet. He was looking at him with a smile not far away and pointed at the screen of his mobile phone, indicating that he should check the message.

Captain Xiao felt a little strange, but he still took out his mobile phone and took a look at the message sent by Chief Gao.

Then he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lin Qing stood quietly in the team of temporary inspectors and glanced at Chief Gao when he saw this.

It seems that Chief Gao reminded Captain Xiao?

"Go on, we were talking about Lin Qing just now."

Captain Xiao put away his phone without changing his expression, as if he had never received any news. He continued to look at Lin Qing and said solemnly:

"Lin Qing, I didn't want to say anything to you, but since you have been silent, I have to say something. Don't you think your work in the patrol team is inappropriate?"

Section Chief Gao's expression changed slightly.

His reminder was timely. Captain Xiao was clearly not in a dilemma, so why was he not planning to give up?

"Lin Qing, don't blame me for saying that."

Captain Xiao said in a deep voice: "You are such an outstanding talent, but you are only a temporary inspector in the team, without even a regular position. This is really a waste of talent. If I were Captain Chen, I would probably want to promote you to be the team leader. Don't you feel wronged?"

There was silence.

Everyone looked at Captain Xiao on the stage in amazement, and couldn't help but look at Lin Qing.

Excellent? Buried Talent?
Still the team leader?

Didn't Captain Xiao just now look like he was ready to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble?

Why did you suddenly feel unfair for Lin Qingming?

Even Lin Qing and Section Chief Gao, who knew the truth, couldn't help but be stunned.

"I have to admit that Captain Chen is truly selfless."

Captain Xiao sighed, "My cousin is such an outstanding talent, but because he hasn't passed the professional assessment, he is not even given a formal position in order to avoid suspicion. This is really... too open and aboveboard."

Lin Qing was stunned.

This Captain Xiao... is really a talented person.

Chief Gao watched Captain Xiao's expression change on the stage and couldn't help but sigh: "I thought he was a proud young man, but I didn't expect him to be a veteran..."

On the stage, Captain Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "He has successfully practiced at the age of 18. Maybe he will be my vice-captain in the future. His future may not be worse than mine. I am sick and that is why I offended him..."
