My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

After all, he had already called Lin Jiu. If he didn't give a reason, he might scare her to death. The worst thing for a person is to scare themselves. What was originally a trivial matter is forced to the point of self-collapse by unknown fear.

"Around 8:33 tonight, Officer Zhang, whom we have stationed at Mingyuexuan Community... you know him too. Last night you even held a sirens siren to the back of someone's head."

Li Linchen smiled helplessly as he said this.

We are police officers, we have received professional training, and we will never laugh.

...unless I can't help it.

Because of this incident, Officer Zhang became the talk of the town at the station. Fortunately, he didn't seem to care much about it and even explained why the other party used a sirens siren, praising Lin Jiu for her intelligence and resourcefulness—and incidentally revealing that the other three officers weren't much better off, that their training had been for nothing, and that after so many years as police officers, they were still caught off guard by a kid.

"Officer Zhang spotted two suspicious individuals loitering around the Mingyuexuan residential complex. Both were wearing masks and dressed entirely in black. Clearly, they weren't residents and were completely unfamiliar with the area," Li Linchen said, his tone becoming more serious. "As a precaution, Officer Zhang followed them, ready to react at any moment. Upon discovering they had taken knives from under their coats, Officer Zhang and Officer Gao simultaneously intervened, apprehending both suspects."

Arrested.

Of course they caught them.

Police officers are not just sitting around doing nothing; don't let those third-rate TV dramas distort your first impression of the people's police.

Lin Jiu listened silently to Officer Li's voice, his mind multitasking. He was recording their conversation, analyzing the tone of their voices to judge their psychological state, and summarizing these analyses. Sparks flew as he pondered, not missing a single detail, gathering all the information, and then weaving together a narrative.

Lin Jiu slowly began to speak: "These two suspects weren't just wandering around the neighborhood; they had a specific target in mind."

Li Linchen was stunned for a moment, then a somewhat helpless expression appeared on his face as he recalled how he had met Lin Jiu.

This slender boy showed no fear when facing a vicious murderer. Knowing he had no chance of escape, he bravely stepped forward. Even covered in mud, he didn't cry out, but quietly waited to give his statement.

Subsequently, Lin Jiu reported a suspicious person to the police. Through investigation of surveillance footage and extensive facial comparison, the police finally uncovered the true identity and residence of the drug trafficker, successfully apprehended him, and seized a large quantity of new psychotropic drugs.

Never underestimate the police's ability to handle this matter. Sometimes, holding back is a way to take decisive action and eliminate future troubles.

It's fair to say that if Lin Jiu hadn't promptly informed the police, the matter would have been delayed for some time. Before the police investigation concluded, it's unknown how many people would have been poisoned during that period.

When the other party was arrested, they had no idea where they had given themselves away.

However, none of these things made Li Linchen remember Lin Jiu very well.

It was about what Lin Jiu encountered at school.

When faced with oppression from powerful figures, remain neither humble nor arrogant, and uphold your own principles.

It's rare to see someone achieve this level of skill at their age, which is why Li Linchen felt a sense of appreciation for Lin Jiu and hoped that Lin Jiu would consider starting as an auxiliary police officer at the Public Security Bureau in the future.

Unfortunately, he rejected her.

However, Li Linchen believes that a person with such character will shine wherever they go.

"Officer Li?"

Lin Jiu waited for a while but didn't hear a response, so she tentatively asked.

However, since it was the other party who called him and the call charges weren't deducted from his account, Lin Jiu remained very calm.

Li Linchen came to his senses and said frankly, "Yes, just as you said, they both have goals."

"...I think I know who it is."

Lin Jiu's expression was strange. He wasn't stupid; did he really need to rack his brains over something like this?

Since Li Linchen took the initiative to contact him, he must be someone connected to him.

Lin Jiu could confidently pat his chest and say that he had no friends!

You can count the number of people you have connections with on one hand.

Without a doubt, there is only one answer!

Something must have happened to Uncle Yang!

Okay, just kidding.

It's true that Uncle Yang and Lin Jiu have a good relationship, but he doesn't have the ability to move to a high-end residential area like Mingyuexuan.

Thinking about it this way, isn't it too unfair to Uncle Yang?

At least they gave Lin Jiu the pudding that had already been redeemed!

However, Wang Yuting threw away the pudding because it had expired for too long.

Tragic, Uncle Yang, tragic.

Lin Jiu silently lit candles in her heart to pray for the kind-hearted shop manager.

"This person is your classmate, one of the parties involved in the school incident, Ning Yueyao." Officer Li, unaware of Lin Jiu's rich inner thoughts, continued, "When Ning Yueyao came out of the Walmart supermarket, these two people took out double-edged knives with blades over 220 millimeters long and rushed towards her."

"..."

Lin Jiu fell silent.

He looked up and conjured up a picture in his mind.

With Ning Yueyao's heart as fragile as a hamster's, seeing two men charging towards her with knives would probably terrify her. She wouldn't even know how to run away; her mind would go blank. By the time she came to her senses, her limbs would be beyond her control.

“She’s not hurt, you don’t need to worry.” Because Lin Jiu was silent, Li Linchen subconsciously assumed that she was worried about her classmate, so he comforted her, “Our officers have protected her well, so you can rest assured.”

"Ah."

Lin Jiu nodded.

He was indeed worried about the class monitor, after all, he wasn't a bad person, and he wouldn't be able to laugh when he saw good people being bullied.

Rather...

Lin Jiu felt very unhappy.

I'm very unhappy.

This time it's Ning Yueyao, who will it be next time?

it's me?

still is……

Lin Jiu turned to look at Wang Yuting.

Wang Yuting, who was looking down at her phone, noticed Lin Jiu's gaze and patted Lin Jiu on the shoulder.

"It's fine."

Wang Yuting didn't make a sound, but Lin Jiu could hear what she was saying.

It's okay, because I'm here, so everything will be alright.

It's okay, because you're here, so everything is alright.

Wang Yuting believed in Lin Jiu, and Lin Jiu believed in her too.

"This might be related to those three students' use of new psychotropic drugs. Those damn bastards, how dare they lay their hands on students—they're asking for it!!" Li Linchen clenched his fists, veins bulging, his anger burning every time he thought about it. "Those three students have confessed how they obtained the drugs. Now we have clear leads, and we absolutely will not let any criminals get away! We must bring those drug dealers to justice and sentence them!!"

"Hmm..." Lin Jiu nodded and asked, "What about the school?"

Lin Jiu will never forget, he will never forget, what happened in the disciplinary office that day.

A bunch of parasites.

A group of parasites who, for their own selfish gain, are willing to let the load-bearing pillars rot away.

They completely disregarded the devastating consequences that would result from the destruction of a building's load-bearing column.

Li Linchen said coldly, "The school's principal, vice-principal, and several other people with connections will all go to jail and face legal punishment. Their illegal activities—abusing their power to obtain money illegally, selling degrees, protecting criminals, and attempting to destroy evidence—will all be settled this time. No wonder they were so desperate to protect these students; each one is more unreliable and rotten than the last!"

What Li Linchen didn't say was that this matter had already attracted special attention from higher authorities, who attached great importance to it.

If you find one cockroach in your home, then unfortunately, there's a whole nest lurking in the shadows.

Following orders from higher command, blood tests must be conducted on all middle school students in the city within two weeks, and all schools must undergo a thorough investigation to find the real mastermind behind this. This will be a massive operation; those drug dealers will be taught a lesson!

This is a red line, a red line that must never be crossed. Anyone who crosses it will die!

"I see……"

Lin Jiu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

He wanted to laugh; no, he already laughed.

He didn't do anything wrong; he was right. He just didn't do his best.

Looking back, calling the police immediately would have been the right thing to do, but Lin Jiu didn't have the chance then. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and, when he was called to the disciplinary station, he managed to contact Officer Li while no one was around; otherwise, the matter would have been dropped.

Who would have thought the school would do this?

Reality is even more surreal than TV dramas.

Who would have thought that the three people Rong Momo pricked with needles back then were all bad people, and even the needle in her hand wasn't a good one.

Who would have thought that the actors who starred in "My Fair Princess" would either evade taxes, commit hit-and-run accidents, spread rumors and frame others, hire thugs to kidnap people, or be imprisoned in jail... In comparison, the novel's story still has logic, but reality doesn't at all.

"Thank you, Officer Li."

"You're welcome. I'm the one who should be thanking you. Thank you, young comrade."

Li Linchen felt that Lin Jiu was their lucky star at the Fukou Public Security Bureau; in just a few days, they had solved one major case after another. Of course, none of that was important; the most important thing was that they were able to promptly eliminate these poisonous insects, thus protecting the safety of many more citizens.

"Of course, you have to be careful too."

Li Linchen suddenly said seriously, "We cannot confirm the identities of these two suspects who committed the crime with knives yet. Until we get the results, you need to be careful about your personal safety. However, we will secretly arrange for people to protect you, so please don't worry too much."

"Thank you, Officer Li—"

"Okay, that's all I have to say. If you need anything, feel free to contact me."

"Please wait a moment!"

Lin Jiu called out to Officer Li, preventing him from hanging up the phone.

"what happened?"

"Please wait a moment."

Lin Jiu shouted, looking up at Wang Yuting and nodding heavily.

He wanted to repay Wang Yuting's expectations.

It's fine.

I am here.

Lin Jiu stood in the center of the memory bookshelf.
