Chapter 65 - 65: Deducting Leave for a Big Operation? Are You Speaking Like a Human?
While Su Xuan spoke, not only did the elite officers in the audience listen with great interest, but even the bureau chiefs displayed expressions of surprise.
It had to be acknowledged that even when put on the spot, Su Xuan delivered a remarkable performance. Combining methods from two different worlds created a new approach. These methods were highly tempting for a new world with an imperfect system.
Director Zheng nodded in satisfaction. On the sidelines, Old Mai, after witnessing this scene, breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of the circumstances, Su Xuan had already made an appearance at the city bureau today, and he absolutely couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.
Fortunately, this young man seemed to understand his situation well, and his speech was quite satisfying.
Before long, Su Xuan’s eloquent speech came to an end.
*Clap, clap, clap…*
Director Zheng was the first to applaud. Soon, the whole conference room erupted with enthusiastic applause. No one expected that Su Xuan would have such profound insights into apprehending thieves.
“Excellent!”
“At such a young age, possessing such profound knowledge, I can say my trip here wasn’t in vain!” Director Zheng commented.
Just as Director Zheng finished speaking, Director Lin immediately added, “Director Zheng, you’re joking…”
“Su Xuan’s success this time was largely accidental, capturing so many criminals…”
Upon hearing this, Director Zheng had a completely different view.
“It’s said that heroes come from the young. Su Xuan has already caught so many criminals at such a young age. Moreover, if I remember correctly, he seems to have caught quite a few wanted criminals before.”
Old Mai had to say this.
Old Mai nodded and hid the joy in his heart.’That’s right. Su Xuan did coincidentally catch a few criminals previously.”
“This is no longer a coincidence.”
Chief Zheng nodded, very satisfied.” I’ll wait for the day when you’ll have better results.”
Hearing this, Old Mai quickly replied. At the same time, he gave Su Xuan a look and immediately went forward.
“Thank you for your appreciation, Leader. I will definitely work harder!”
Chief Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
“Alright, since you’ve shared most of your experience.”
“Then let’s get down to business.”
“I gathered everyone here not only to let you learn from Officer Su Xuan’s experience, but more importantly, I’m preparing to launch Operation Storm in our city!”
Everyone was speechless.
“Operation Storm?”
After Director Zheng’s words, everyone remained silent. Only Gao Jianlin, the director of the County Public Security Bureau, paused for a moment before asking, “Director Zheng, when you mention this ‘Storm Operation,’ are you referring to?”
“I believe everyone is already aware that several neighboring provinces and cities have initiated large-scale crackdowns on criminal activities,” Director Zheng explained without beating around the bush.
Present at this meeting were not only the heads of all the police stations in the county but also the heads of the county bureau, covering five counties and two districts within the city. Speaking up here was equivalent to distributing the directive to the entire city area.
“While the specifics of each city’s operation may vary, if we do not act, we will become a typical target.”
“At first, 1 was debating whether to launch an anti-crime or an anti-vice operation. However, given Comrade Su Xuan’s dedication yesterday, I have made up my mind…”
“In our city, let’s start a major operation to combat theft crimes!”
“According to reliable information, with the neighboring cities launching their operations, many criminals have already entered our Hai Cheng City!”
“Now, I announce that starting today, our Hai Cheng City will also initiate the Storm Operation, with a focus on combating theft crimes and capturing all criminals who have fled to our city!”
“I believe that with the experience of Comrade Su Xuan, he can play a significant role in the process of combating crime in the future…”
When Director Zheng finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Launching a major operation like this was not unheard of. In fact, with the neighboring cities starting their operations, they had been speculating when their own large-scale operation would commence.
However, as Director Zheng had mentioned, they had initially thought it would be an anti-crime or anti-vice operation, not one focused on combating theft.
Though it might sound less prestigious than tackling other crimes like vice and corruption, those who had been part of such operations knew that dealing with theft was among the most grueling tasks.
“During this operation, anyone who reports a case must ensure that the culprits are apprehended!” Director Zheng continued. “If they escape, the leave of all officers in this district will be indefinitely extended without compensation afterward!”
The officers were taken aback. “Sir, are you sure you want to stand by those words?”
Infinite leave extensions without compensation? They had encountered leave extensions before, but not without compensation. Did this mean their holidays were essentially canceled?
Director Zheng’s statement implied that if the operation’s objectives were not met to his satisfaction, their holidays would indeed be forfeited. This placed a heavy burden on the officers.
However, the officers couldn’t refuse. They were well aware that their profession often involved being at the station daily, with frequent fieldwork and endless overtime. Taking care of family and relationships was a challenging feat. Many colleagues had already divorced due to their demanding schedules.
For these hardworking officers, Director Zheng’s statement was almost saying goodbye to their families. Despite this, they couldn’t refuse the directive.
Since they couldn’t argue against it, they had to rely on their dedication to the job. After all, they were dealing with criminals, weren’t they?
“Understood! We’ll ensure the mission is accomplished!”
“Damn it, it’s just catching criminals. If any thieves or pickpockets dare show their faces in front of me, I’ll knock their heads off with a single punch!”
“It seems like I’ll have to give orders. For the next month, we’ll be patrolling diligently!”
“Even just patrolling will be enough. I don’t believe anyone would dare to cause trouble with our patrol cars on the streets every day!”
“Not only on the streets but also at the subway stations, train stations, and airports—those high-crime areas need to be firmly controlled!”
The county bureau chiefs were highly enthusiastic, and the police station chiefs under their jurisdiction had mixed expressions.
They turned their gazes to Old Mai, their envy palpable. “Old Mai, you’re really lucky.”
“With the number of criminals your team caught yesterday, it’s safe to say you have the fewest criminals to deal with!”
“Your vacation time is probably a lot longer than ours!”
Old Mai laughed heartily, a hint of smugness in his tone. “Well, what can I say? I have some extraordinary people under my command!”
“Hahaha!”
“It’s just my luck…”
“Who wouldn’t want to have such talented subordinates!”
“Hahaha….”
