If you were made a mascot, you would become a legend in the police force.

Although the process of catching the underwear thief was a bit "scary," the result was perfect.

When Lin Wan escorted the thief, who looked like a lump of mud, and Li Tuantuan followed behind like an old man, they walked out of the sewer entrance, a crowd of onlookers had already gathered around.

"It's out! It's out!"

"Oh dear, it really was pulled out of the sewer!"

"That panda! Look at that panda! Why is it so dirty? Oh my, it breaks my heart!"

Li Tuantuan certainly didn't look good at the moment. He was covered in mud, his once white fur had turned gray, and only his eyes remained clear. He deliberately pretended to be exhausted, panting heavily after every few steps, trying to gain sympathy.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a civil servant working overtime? This is called a work injury! I have to apply for a shower service when I get back, and it has to be the shampoo kind!"

Just then, an accident happened.

The thief, who had been looking dejected, suddenly attacked when he passed through the most crowded area.

Taking advantage of the moment when Old Zhang, who was escorting him, went to disperse the crowd, he suddenly rammed his head into Lin Wan's abdomen. Caught off guard, Lin Wan was knocked back two steps.

The thief managed to break free, but he didn't run because there were people all around.

Driven by malice, he grabbed a little girl who was watching the commotion, pulled a spare folding knife from his pocket, and held it to the girl's neck.

"Don't come any closer! I'll kill anyone who does!"

The crowd erupted in an uproar.

"Oh! My child! My child!" the little girl's mother screamed in anguish.

Lin Wan and Lao Zhang immediately raised their guns: "Don't do anything rash! Put down the knife! You can't escape now!"

"Back off! All of you back off! Get me a car! Hurry up!" the thief roared hysterically, the blade pressing a bloody gash into the little girl's delicate neck.

The little girl was so frightened that she burst into tears.

The situation instantly reached a stalemate.

At this distance, firing a shot could easily injure the hostages. Furthermore, with so many people around, the consequences of provoking the perpetrators could be disastrous.

Lin Wan's palms were sweaty. She stared intently at the assailant, trying to find an opening, but the assailant had hunched over behind the little girl, making it impossible for him to shoot.

At this critical moment.

A black and white figure, like a carefree bear, strolled slowly over from the side.

It's Li Tuantuan.

He was still holding the half cucumber that someone had handed him earlier, munching on it as he walked, seemingly oblivious to the perilous situation before him.

The thief's pupils contracted sharply when he saw Li Tuantuan. He had a deep psychological trauma related to that bear.

"You...you stay away! You dead bear! Get out of my way!" the thief shouted, brandishing his knife.

Li Tuantuan stopped and tilted her head to look at him, still chewing on a cucumber.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: "The same old tricks again? Can't you human villains come up with something new? Taking a hostage? And a little girl at that? Are you even human?"

Li Tuantuan's eyes changed.

If he was just playing around and taking the civil service exam when he was arrested before, now he is genuinely angry.

In his previous life, as an ordinary person, he hated nothing more than scum who preyed on the weak.

He threw away the cucumber in his hand, slowly got down on all fours, and assumed an offensive stance.

"Don't come any closer! I really will!" The thief's hands were trembling.

Just as the thief's attention was entirely focused on Li Tuantuan, preparing to deal with the bear's charge.

Li Tuantuan suddenly made a funny face.

He pried open his eyelids with his two front paws, his tongue lolling out, making a "lè lè lè" sound.

The thief was stunned.

The entire crowd was stunned.

Even Lin Wan was stunned.

What kind of tactic is this? Is it a cute distraction?

It was during that moment of distraction that the thief took the bait.

Li Tuantuan moved. But he didn't charge; instead, he threw.

The half-cucumber he had just thrown on the ground was kicked away by his hind leg like a soccer ball.

"Whoosh—"

Half a cucumber whistled through the air and struck the thief's wrist, which was gripping the knife, with perfect accuracy.

"what!"

The thief felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and instinctively loosened his grip on the knife.

In that instant, Li Tuantuan's enormous body was already in front of him.

But he didn't use brute force to hit her, for fear of hurting the little girl.

He extended a paw and very gently nudged the little girl aside, like tossing a ball.

At the same time, another claw, with the force of a thunderbolt, slammed hard into the thief's face.

"Smack!!!"

This slap was much harder than the one in the sewer.

The thief was like a spinning top, turning 360 degrees in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, unconscious without even uttering a sound.

The entire room fell silent.

One second later.

"Whoosh—!!!"

Thunderous applause and cheers erupted.

"Good! Well done!"

"This panda is amazing! It came to save people!"

"So cool! This is Kung Fu Panda!"

Countless mobile phones were raised to record this breathtaking scene.

Li Tuantuan stood there, looking at the unconscious thief, and snorted disdainfully.

Then, he walked up to the little girl who was still trembling, gently rubbed his head against her arm, and made a soft "mmm" sound.

The little girl stopped crying and tentatively hugged the big head.

This scene was captured on the screens of countless people's phones.

The title is already decided: "A Mythical Beast Appears at Qinling Police Station! Kung Fu Panda Angrily Punishes Criminals and Gently Protects a Little Girl!"

Li Tuantuan was secretly pleased.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: "This is it. If they still don't give me a permanent position, it's an injustice! Once this video is released, I refuse to believe public opinion won't be on my side! Section Chief Zhang, you want to take me to the zoo? You'll have to ask these hundreds of millions of netizens if they'll agree first!"

But on the surface, he still pretended to be calm, as if he had just been passing by and casually swatted a fly. He picked up the half cucumber from the ground, blew off the dust, and continued to eat it.

Hidden strength and name.

The next day, the phone at Taiping Town Police Station was ringing off the hook.

The calls weren't from the police; they were all from the media and concerned netizens.

"Excuse me, does that Kung Fu Panda belong to your institute?"

"We want to donate bamboo and bowls of milk to the pandas!"

"I'm from a certain live streaming platform, and I'd like to interview that brave police bear!"

Wang Zhenhua sat in his office, looking at the trending topics on his phone, grinning from ear to ear.

The top trending topic: #KungfuPandaRescuesHosts#

Second on the trending list: #SpecialPoliceOfficersAtQinlingPoliceStation#

Third on the trending topics: #The whole internet is pleading for pandas to be given official positions#

In the video, Li Tuantuan's brilliant "cucumber flying kick," the powerful slap, and the final scene of gently comforting the little girl have been meticulously reviewed by netizens.

The comments section is teeming with talented people:

"That's not a panda, that's clearly a special forces soldier in a suit!"

"A thorough investigation is needed! This bear must be some kind of spirit!"

"That was so cool! That slap was the perfect stress reliever! That kind of scum deserves to be hit like that!"

"Am I the only one who noticed it was still eating that dirty cucumber at the end? Waaah, the poor thing, let's buy it some meat!"

"The Forestry Bureau officials should come out and take their punishment! You want to lock such a intelligent panda in a cage? It belongs to the police! It belongs to the people!"

Lin Wan pushed open the door and came in, carrying a pile of packages: "Chief, these are all for Gun Gun. There are fresh bamboo shoots from Yunnan, imported apples, and someone even sent... a giant Ultraman transformation device?"

Wang Zhenhua laughed heartily: "The public's enthusiasm is really high! By the way, what did the Forestry Bureau say?"

"Section Chief Zhang just called me," Lin Wan said, suppressing a laugh. "His tone was much softer. He said that since this panda is adapting so well to the station and can even help solve cases, they've decided, after some research, to temporarily establish a 'police-civilian joint construction pilot program.' Simply put, they're not taking it away; they're letting us supervise it."

"That old bastard knows what's good for him." Wang Zhenhua slapped the table. "If he had really dared to take a hard line, the netizens would probably have stormed down the gates of their forestry bureau."

Just then, Li Tuantuan strolled into the office.

He had already taken a shower, and his fluffy, snow-white fur made him look like a giant plush toy.

He skillfully climbed onto the sofa for guests, found a comfortable position to slump in, and then pointed to the pile of express deliveries on the table.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: "I can smell it! That's my package! That's my empire! Open it and let me see!"

Lin Wan smiled, opened a box, and handed him a fresh and tender bamboo shoot.

Li Tuantuan took it, snapped a bite, and her face was full of happiness.

"Gun Gun," Wang Zhenhua walked over and patted him on the shoulder earnestly, "You really made our station chief proud this time. The city bureau leaders just called to praise you personally and said they'd give you a commendation."

Li Tuantuan's ears perked up.

A commendation? That's just empty talk. What about tangible rewards?

Wang Zhenhua seemed to read his mind and took out a red box from the drawer.

"In recognition of your exceptional contributions, and with special approval from higher authorities, we have decided to appoint you as a 'Special Auxiliary Police Officer' at the Taiping Town Police Station! Your code name is 'Rolling Roll'!"

He opened the box, inside was a specially made, XXXL-sized police dog vest (modified), with the words "Police" printed on it and a shiny silver number tag: 001 (Bear).

Li Tuantuan's eyes lit up instantly.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: "Holy crap! It really is?! Even though I'm just a police auxiliary, once I put on this uniform, I'm a regular officer! From now on, I'm a bear with an identity! Who dares to call me a wild beast now? I'm a police officer!"

He immediately threw away the bamboo shoots, stood up straight, puffed out his chest, and let Wang Zhenhua and Lin Wan help him put on the vest.

The size is just right. Wearing it gives you an absolutely amazing, imposing presence.

Lin Wan took out her phone: "Come on, Gun Gun, take a photo for your new job. We need to upload it to your file."

Li Tuantuan immediately straightened her posture, tucked in her stomach, slightly tucked her chin, her eyes were resolute, and there was a faint smile on her lips.

"Click."

The photo freezes in time.

At this moment, Li Tuantuan finally took the most crucial step in his grand plan of "lying down and taking the civil service exam".

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: "Mom, can you see this from heaven? Your son has made it big! No more 996 work schedules, no more mortgage payments, free meals and lodging, and gifts from fans—the days are finally starting!"
