Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

That's fucking ruthless.

The old woman's frail body was no match for Cao Jianjun, even if she tried to struggle. He carried her into the detention room like a dead dog.

The whole process was smooth, efficient, and decisive.

After slamming the door shut, Cao Jianjun glared at Xu Fengcui and said, "For Huihui's sake, I'll remind you one last time."

“If you don’t want to go to jail with Sun Youguang, you’d better behave yourself.”

"Otherwise, we'll have to thoroughly investigate how much money your family has taken from Sun Youguang over the years, and whether you've been involved in any illegal activities."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Jianjun turned and left.

Xu Fengcui, the mother-in-law, was struck dumb, her face filled with shock.

His body stood stiff and rigid in the detention cell, speechless and stunned through the iron bars on the windows.

17. Cao Jianjun, a ruthless man, is the bravest in the entire institute.

17. Cao Jianjun, a ruthless man, is the bravest in the entire institute.

When Cao Jianjun walked out of the detention room, his brother-in-law Sun Youguang had already been taken away by the officers from the branch office.

The handover procedures were completed quickly, mainly because Director Song didn't want to stay a minute longer. He always felt that his mentor, Director Wang, was trying to trick him at every turn.

So, Director Song picked up the man, got into his car, and left.

Cao Jianjun is now truly famous.

First, they raided prostitution and arrested the brother-in-law; then, they detained the mother-in-law with their bare hands.

Everyone in the institute knows about it.

Director Wang Shouyi, Deputy Directors Cheng Hao and Gao Chao, Instructor Ye Wei, and the entire leadership team of the institute were standing in the courtyard.

Upon seeing Cao Jianjun appear, he immediately waved and said, "Jianjun, come here."

"Director, Instructor, Director Cheng, Director Gao."

Cao Jianjun walked up calmly without any psychological burden, and greeted everyone in a calm and unhurried manner.

The four people, each with a different posture and action, all looked at Cao Jianjun with the same expression.

"Jianjun, you...you acted impulsively today."

Instructor Ye Wei comforted him, "Of course, you're definitely not wrong, but... it was just a bit reckless."

“Yes, Jianjun.” Cheng Suo nodded in agreement. “She’s still your mother-in-law, after all. How are you going to explain this to Huihui when you get back after detaining her?”

"Jianjun, you really didn't think this through."

Deputy Director Gao Chao crossed his arms and nodded in agreement.

After the three leaders finished speaking, the director remained silent, squinting as he scrutinized Cao Jianjun, much like someone being stared at by their homeroom teacher.

"Well, thank you all for your concern first."

Cao Jianjun was no longer so afraid of the director. He shrugged and said, "You all know about my family's situation, right?"

"Yes, before, because of Huihui, I was completely obedient to my mother-in-law and acted like a coward."

“I admit that I used to feel a little hurt when my mother-in-law looked down on me. But who doesn’t want to be successful?”

"But in the end, these things are just trivial family matters, right?"

“I may suffer some grievances, and my wife may suffer some grievances, but these grievances all come from our own family members. I can’t really hold a grudge, can I?”

Cao Jianjun described it vividly.

He knew he had to explain the changes that had occurred these past few days, otherwise... the entire institute would really think he was plotting revenge.

However, it was indeed revenge.

It's just Cao Jianjun from another time traveling, taking revenge on his mother-in-law's family.

The director, instructor, and two others remained silent, intending to do some ideological work with Cao Jianjun and listen to his innermost thoughts.

"So, even if I was angry or upset about those things at home before, I wouldn't actually do anything, right?"

Cao Jianjun continued talking, gesturing wildly.

"But now, my brother-in-law, Sun Youguang, is suspected of serious illegal and criminal activities, and has reached the level of major criminal fraud."

"Faced with such a crucial matter of right and wrong, if you were in my shoes, what would you do?"

"Also, arresting Sun Youguang and submitting his criminal record, wasn't that right of me?"

“But Sun Youguang is my mother-in-law’s life. If I arrest him, it will definitely implicate my mother-in-law…”

"Most importantly, the house where my mother-in-law lives might also contain stolen goods."

Cao Jianjun appeared to be recounting his own affairs, but he was actually complaining to the director about his grievances.

“Since Sun Youguang was arrested, Huihui and I have never said a word to each other.”

Cao Jianjun became even more talkative when he thought of his wife: "So, I think I should avoid provoking my mother-in-law if possible, right?"

"And then? They came to my office, they came to my workplace..."

"What is she doing? What is she trying to do? Director, instructor, Director Cheng, Director Gao..."

Cao Jianjun tapped one of his fingers against the palm of his other hand: "You must have realized it, my mother-in-law is trying to ruin me."

"He wanted to smear me in the detention center because his wealthy son-in-law had been arrested. Even if it meant getting himself involved, he didn't want me to have an easy time..."

“You say I’m impulsive, that I don’t think things through, but if I didn’t do this today…”

"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and every day thereafter, my mother-in-law will try every possible way to frame me."

silent.

After hearing what was said, the director, instructor, and the other two understood.

Cao Jianjun is right.

On the surface, Cao Jianjun appears decisive and ruthless, even arresting his own mother-in-law.

But if you think about it, the mother-in-law is the ruthless one.

This is clearly an attempt to strip the son-in-law of his official position, and even to have Cao Jianjun, the son-in-law, imprisoned.

"Jianjun is right."

Deputy Director Cheng Hao took a deep breath and said, "Director, if we don't arrest Jianjun's mother-in-law, she could really be a big hidden danger."

"Yes." Instructor Ye Wei nodded as well: "If things go wrong, it might even harm Jianjun."

"Ah."

Director Wang Shouyi understood, and his gaze towards Cao Jianjun softened considerably.

When he looked up again, there was a clear increase in his appreciation for his apprentice.

"Sigh! Jianjun, there were no mistakes in your enforcement process today..."

"But now, have you thought about how you're going to tell Huihui when you get home tonight? And..."

The director frowned and said, "What do you mean by saying that your parents-in-law's house is very likely Sun Youguang's stolen property?"

“That house was bought for them by Sun Youguang five years ago.”

Cao Jianjun calmly replied, "Based on my investigation of Sun Youguang's crimes, although it doesn't directly show that the money used to buy the house was part of illegal fundraising, it is still closely related indirectly."

"This is a very important question."

Director Wang Shouyi nodded in agreement, saying, "That's why Jianjun, at this point, is putting your personal abilities to the test even more."

"Not only do I have to take care of my family, but I also have to constantly remind myself of my identity as a police officer."

"You can decide on the balance yourself. As long as you don't break the law, I will support you."

Cao Jianjun smiled.

The instructor and the two deputy directors also laughed.

The midday sun shone through the rustling poplar leaves overhead, casting dappled light into the courtyard.

After explaining to his superiors, Cao Jianjun left openly and honestly.

The director and the four instructors kept watching his retreating figure. Director Cheng sighed, "Oh dear, building an army is really not easy."

"Chief, I feel like Jianjun has changed a lot," Director Gao said, frowning.

"Ha! If you were stuck with a mother-in-law like that, and then you actually managed to grab her yourself, you'd change too."

The director jokingly pointed at the high-ranking officer, then waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, let's get to work. Everyone, go about your business."

18. In a case of stolen electric bicycles, the master and apprentice responded to the call.

When Cao Jianjun returned to the institute, he became a great hero.

Yang Shu now felt somewhat conflicted as he faced his master.

Previously, Yang Shu felt a mixture of awe and disdain. The reason was simple: Yang Shu thought Cao Jianjun was too cowardly, irresponsible, and lacked a sense of duty.

But Cao Jianjun has had a rather big impact on him these past two days.

Especially from the moment the crackdown on prostitution at Lanting Yashe began, and from the moment Yang Shu personally arrested his brother-in-law, he felt that his master had changed.
