At the local police station!
A leader said, “Inspector Liu, you’ve done extremely well this time. The higher-ups are very pleased.”
Ever since Liu Xiao Tian took up the appointment of Inspector, he had cracked a number of cases but compared to today’s case, those all paled in comparison. They were simply incomparable.
Capturing Li Hu was quite a happy thing but capturing ‘Scorpion’ really raised their spirits. Moreover, capturing ‘Scorpion’ allowed them to get more information from him.
He was a big drug lord and he carried many secrets. With their previous leads, even if the police sent people to go undercover, they couldn’t make much progress. However, now it was different. They could now obtain much more information just from ‘Scorpion”s mouth.
Liu Xiao Tian said embarrassedly, “Station Chief, I didn’t do much. This was Master Lin’s contribution.”
The Station Chief shook his head helplessly. He didn’t know how Liu Xiao Tian knew Master Lin. After Liu Xiao Tian had gotten to know Master Lin, his luck had been too great. One after another, big cases were cracked by Liu Xiao Tian. This Master Lin completely gave credit to Liu Xiao Tian.
If that Master Lin were to become a police officer, who knew what appointment he would be promoted to?
The raid on the human trafficker organization.
Shocked the entire nation!
This time, capturing ‘Scorpion’ helped the police solve an even more troubling problem.
The leader waved his hand. “Alright. You may not have had any idea about this incident but Master Lin informs you every time and not anyone else. Regardless of why that is the case, you’ve gotten very good interpersonal relationships. The higher-ups are looking into you. Perhaps your appointment as Inspector may change.”
“Ah?” Liu Xiao Tian’s face lit up with delight. Then, he said embarrassedly, “Leader, I haven’t even been Inspector for long. If I get promoted even more, wouldn’t it be too quick? People will talk.”
The leader said, “Don’t bother about this, just follow the organization’s arrangements. So what if there is talk? This Master Lin informs you whenever something is up. It seems that you have some outstanding quality. That itself is worth learning from.”
Liu Xiao Tian had nothing to say to that. It did make a lot of sense. His outstanding quality was that he trusted Master Lin too much.
Whenever Master Lin called him, he wouldn’t even consider the possibility of the situation and he would just rush over immediately. It seemed that he would have to trust Master Lin even more in future.
But to Liu Xiao Tian, ever since he had gotten to know Master Lin, his luck had gotten better and better. Every time he got promoted, it was for no reason. He hadn’t even done anything but he still got promoted.
Thinking about it was a little scary.
At that moment, Liu Xiao Tian remembered Master Lin’s request.
“This time, Master Lin had a large part to play in capturing Scorpion. I think that he should be presented with a Good Citizen Award and an Honors Ceremony should be organized for him. Is going to happen?” Liu Xiao Tian asked.
The leader replied, “Don’t worry about these things. The organization will consider it. Don’t worry, there will definitely be an Honors Ceremony at the very least. After all, the organization pays a lot of attention to people like Master Lin.”
“That’s good.” Liu Xiao Tian nodded. At least this would make Master Lin feel pretty good.
At Cloud Street!
Lin Fan reached the store as usual. However, all the shop owners were there.
“Little Boss, you really scared us to death. When we saw the news on the Internet, we thought it was real.”
“These immoral reporters really report whatever they like.”
“Little Boss, you’re amazing. You actually did such a great deed. You’re a hero!”
Lin Fan smiled as he waved his hand, “What’s so great about it? I just caught a wanted criminal, it’s not much. It’s not even worth mentioning. As for the false rumor on the Internet, I’m not bothered by it. I have a really big heart.
These words didn’t sound quite right. How could he not have been bothered by it? When the rumors had just come out, he had been the first to flame the rumor-spreaders.
The shop owners sighed. Little Boss was really Little Boss after all. His attitude was amazing.
Wu You Lan covered her mouth as she sneakily laughed. When she had called Brother Lin in the morning, Brother Lin didn’t say it like that.
However, now that the problem had been solved, Brother Lin could say whatever he liked.
The local police station.
When Li Yang found out that his dad had been arrested for trafficking drugs, he was dumbfounded. The reason he had dared to be so unlawful was because of his dad.
Because of his family background, he knew many people in the society. Whenever he had met with obstacles in school, he would call people over to support him. Now that his pillar of support had collapsed, to Li Yang, it was as if the sky had fallen down.
He wasn’t of age yet but his guardian had gotten involved in a problem, so he would be sent to the Youth Detention Centre.
As for what would happen over there, it was hard to say.
But there would definitely be many beatings and scoldings.
In the Youth Detention Centre, there was no use trying to talk and reason with them. The Detention Centre could only use sticks to beat them, on top of using reasoning, in order to be effective.
If he was going to be obedient, it would still be alright. But if he wasn’t obedient, no one would treat him nicely.
The hospital!
Lin Fan was carrying fruits as he entered the ward. “Elder Chen, how is Lil’ Liang recovering?”
“Uncle Lin.” Chen Liang knew that it had been Uncle Lin who saved him. Naturally, he was filled with gratitude.
Elder Chen said, “Little Boss, you didn’t have to bring anything for us.”
Lin Fan chuckled, “How could I not bring gifts if I’m coming to see Lil’ Liang?” Then, he patted Lil’ Liang on the head and said, “Your child must not be so rash in future. When this kid recovers, I’ll personally train him myself.”
Chen Liang had an introverted personality and he wasn’t good at social interactions. When he had been met with a great upset, he thought of committing suicide. This sort of behavior was very dangerous. No matter what, Elder Chen was Lin Fan’s good neighbor. Since his child was facing an issue, Lin Fan had to help.
Elder Chen smiled, “Little Boss, that would be great. With you training him, there will definitely be great results.”
He trusted Little Boss very much. If his child were to be placed in Little Boss’s hands, his child would definitely go through an immensely positive change.
“I heard that Li Yang’s father has been arrested for drug trafficking, is that true?” asked Elder Chen.
Lin Fan nodded, “Mmm, he’s been arrested and locked up. Furthermore, the situation is severe. Whether he’ll be able to come out again in this lifetime is a question to be asked.”
As Chen Liang heard this, especially when he heard Li Yang’s name, his body trembled. It seemed that in his heart, he still feared this person.
Lin Fan patted Chen Liang on the shoulder, “Don’t be afraid. That kid has been sent to the Youth Detention Centre and he’s undergoing a correction. Someone like him, without proper teachings, will harm himself and everyone around him when he grows up.”
“Oh right, how have the discussions been with those parents?”
Elder Chen said, “We’ve met already. They’ll pay the medical bills and they’ve also apologized to me in person. I don’t know what I should say either. What should be compensated has been compensated. After getting them to apologize to my son, I didn’t pursue this matter any further.”
Lin Fan looked at Elder Chen. He had never expected that Elder Chen would be so accommodating. “Elder Chen, if you have any grievances in your heart, you should say them out. I will definitely stand by your side. Don’t ever let your son and yourself lose out.”
Elder Chen waved his hand, “Forget it. What has happened has happened. Lil’ Liang is fine. Those children have received the appropriate punishment. Moreover, they still have long roads ahead of them, so they should be given a chance. I only hope that after receiving this lesson, they’ll correct themselves. That is what Lil’ Liang wants as well.”
Chen Liang nodded timidly, “Uncle Lin, they’re my classmates too. I’m fine now, so I won’t hold a grudge against them.”
Lin Fan patted Chen Liang on the head once more and didn’t say much else. Since they had already said this much, what else could Lin Fan have said?
What a magnanimous child.
“Alright, since you’ve said that, we shall do as you want. But, Lil’ Liang, if you come across such situations in future, don’t ever do something like this again. You’d scared your dad to death,” said Lin Fan.
Chen Liang nodded, “Mmm, I won’t do it again.”
