"Brother Kun, what brings you here? I was just getting ready to go on patrol." Zhang Quhun wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned sheepishly.

"It's almost noon, and you're still going on patrol?" Chang Kun frowned.

"If I don't go on patrol, I always feel uneasy about getting my salary."

Chang Kun: ...

This person is really simple-minded. Not only does he not slack off, but he also actively seeks out work. If he were in later generations, he would be considered to have an excellent work ethic.

"Stop patrolling, come with me."

The two walked into the neighboring subdistrict office one after the other.

"Knock knock knock," Chang Kun said as he entered the office, casually placing the blackfish in the corner.

"Aunt Wang, I caught a few fish in the river and came to see you."

Director Wang laughed a few times. After several incidents, the two had become quite familiar with each other, and he didn't stand on ceremony with Chang Kun.

"Xiao Kun, come and sit down. I just received a batch of excellent aged tangerine peel tea. Take some back with you later."

Chang Kun smiled and agreed, while Zhang Quhun, standing to the side, looked flustered and didn't know where to put his hands.

"Aunt Wang, this is my brother Zhang Quhun from the same village. He works at the security brigade next door. We ran into each other today and came here together."

Director Wang nodded, glancing at Zhang Quhun a few times: "This young man seems honest, and he's quite strong. Not bad!"

"He's quite capable. A few days ago, he caught an armed robber and saved several young girls."

"Oh? I heard that you rescued Cheng Jie's sister, and your sister too, right?" Director Wang looked at Chang Kun with a smile.

Chang Kun didn't feel embarrassed at all, and nodded slightly: "I thought so too, such a good thing, shouldn't our neighborhood set an example?"

"Hehe." Director Wang chuckled a few times, poured a cup of tangerine peel tea for Chang Kun and Zhang Quhun, "Little Kun, setting a good example isn't easy. Not only do you need ability, but you also need someone to promote you!"

"However, this young man did save your sister and Cheng Jie's sister after all, so as his leader, I have to show my appreciation. How about this, I'll have He Gangyi promote him one rank later."

Upon hearing this good news, Zhang Quhun quickly stood up and thanked Director Wang repeatedly.

He's only been working for less than a month and he's already been promoted. His other colleagues must be incredibly envious.

However, Zhang Quhun earned all of this through his own hard work. If Cheng Min hadn't kicked the robber from behind that day, Zhang Quhun would have been in real danger.

After chatting for a while, they said goodbye to Director Wang, and each of them returned to the security brigade with a bag of tangerine peel tea in their hands.

"Cricket, I'm going back now. You can continue your patrol."

"Hey, Brother Kun, you made a special trip for me." Zhang Quhun finally realized that Chang Kun had taken him to Director Wang specifically to try and get some benefits.

"Why are you being so polite with us brothers? My courtyard house is at number 99. You can go in and take a look sometime."

Zhang Quhun nodded. He patrolled Nanluoguxiang every day and had passed by No. 99 many times. He never expected that this was the house that Brother Kun had allocated.

After parting ways with Zhang Quhun, Chang Kun got on his bicycle and followed the direction sensed by the system to chase after the two tomb raiders.

Those two didn't look like good people at all. They even stole my bronze chariot. I just happened to have taken the day off, so I'll go see where they're staying. Maybe I can find more antiques.

They chased after him all the way out of the city, riding westward for more than ten miles until they arrived at the outskirts of a small mountain village.

The system's sensing range is now five miles. Chang Kun parked his bicycle outside the mountain village and sensed that there were quite a few criminals in the village. After counting them, he found that there were actually fifteen or sixteen of them.

These people split into two groups, one in the north of the village and the other in the south.

Chang Kun stroked his chin. Were all these people tomb raiders? Were they divided into the northern and southern factions?

There were too many tomb raiders, so Chang Kun dared not enter the village easily. Who knew if anyone was on lookout duty in the village? If he was discovered, it would be troublesome.

Without lingering for long, Chang Kun turned the car around and headed back to the city. It would be difficult for him to deal with these two groups of tomb raiders on his own.

"Dad, Brother Cheng." Chang Kun came to the police station to find Cheng Jie and happened to run into Chang Dashan in the station chief's office.

"Xiao Kun, didn't you go to the flea market with your mother and the others?" Chang Dashan asked.

"I've bought everything, I'm here for something."

Before the two could ask any more questions, Chang Kun began to recount how he had encountered tomb raiders and followed them all the way to a small mountain village in the west.

Upon hearing Chang Kun say that there were fifteen or sixteen people in the group, Chang Dashan's face changed drastically. He glared fiercely at his son: "Xiao Kun, how could you be so reckless? What if so many people spotted you? That would be so dangerous!"

Faced with his father's concern, Chang Kun could only nod and admit his mistake, promising not to do it again.

You can't exactly say that he sensed more than a dozen tomb raiders even though he was several miles away from the village.

After hearing this, Cheng Jie paced around a few times, muttering to himself, "A dozen or so people, and they're tomb raiders. They probably have quite a few weapons."

Chang Dashan nodded in agreement, saying that tomb raiders were not like petty thieves who picked locks and pried open doors; when they fought each other, they were extremely ruthless.

These days, people are known for their fierce and unruly nature. Even ordinary people can get their hands on guns and ammunition, let alone someone in a high-risk profession like tomb raiding.

Sending the police station to arrest a dozen tomb raiders was out of fear of danger.

Cheng Jie pondered for a moment, then slammed his hand on the table: "If we don't know, fine, but if we know there's a group of tomb raiders there, we'd be doing a disservice to our uniforms if we didn't go and catch them!"

After saying that, he walked out the door and shouted, "Shen Yong, Ji Sibo, everyone from Teams One and Two, assemble!"

Before long, more than 30 police officers, fully equipped, assembled in the police station courtyard.

"Today, we have a big mission. There's a group of tomb raiders outside the west side of the city. We'll go and take them down. We'll plan the details once we get there and assess the terrain."

"All geared up, let's go!"

Chang Kun led the way, and a group of police officers ran forward.

Looking back at the neatly lined-up group, Chang Kun couldn't help but sigh at the power of the state apparatus; even petty tomb raiders could be wiped out with a flick of the wrist.

Upon arriving at the outskirts of the small mountain village, Chang Kun pointed and said, "Brother Cheng, there are seven or eight tomb raiders in each of the two large houses on the south and north sides of the village, and there is a guard at the village entrance."

Cheng Jie frowned: "There's only one road into this village. If we go in with a big fuss, it'll become a full-scale assault... We need to find a way to take down the guards."

At this moment, Shen Yong ran up: "Chief, leave it to me, I'll take care of the guard."

"Okay, then be careful." Cheng Jie nodded in agreement. Shen Yong was exceptionally skilled and had previously won awards in military competitions. Catching a sentry in a small mountain village would be a piece of cake for him.

"Brother Shen, the guard is hiding in that house. It's best to catch him alive so we can use him to lure out the tomb raiders," Chang Kun told Shen Yong, explaining the location he had sensed.

"Just you wait and see. I've killed so many Japanese devils, let alone a mere grave robber." With that, Shen Yong disappeared into the grove of trees at the village entrance, a way to enter the village without being discovered.

After more than ten minutes, just as everyone was getting impatient, Shen Yong dragged someone out of the woods.

"Ugh, this damn fatso, knocking him out was easy, but dragging him back exhausted me!"

Cheng Jie chuckled when he saw the person on the ground.

The person was only about 1.6 meters tall and weighed at least 160 kilograms. In these days of famine, it was truly remarkable that he could grow into such a fleshy ball.
