"At this moment, the flaw of the comrade from a police family, who was only good at talking on paper, was exposed. He hid in cover, terrified and afraid to command his teammates to fight back. He could only watch helplessly as his teammates, whom he had been with day and night, continued to die. He fell into a state of collapse. Where was his father?"
"Watching his comrades falling before him, listening to the whistling of bullets, fear surged in his heart like a tide. Bai Xingchang no longer cared about comrades or his police mission. He turned and ran. When it was over, the captain was seriously injured, and the other 12 teammates were all killed. He was the only one who survived."
"That operation ended in disastrous failure. The criminal investigation captain, who was also a comrade, was shot and seriously injured. He was hospitalized for six months before he survived. The father survived, but a total of 12 of his teammates died. He was the deputy captain. Among them was a young man who had just graduated from the police academy and joined the criminal investigation team not long ago, a newlywed husband, a loving father of two daughters, and a filial son with seriously ill parents. They all died there, while the surviving father was unharmed."
"Naturally, this situation was considered desertion by the other teammates. They were called 'cowards' to their faces and nicknamed the runaway police officer. They suffered endless humiliation and accusations. That comrade even went to my father's house after being safely discharged from the hospital. He cursed my father as a 'coward' in front of my father and the little girl, and punched my father several times. The blows were so severe that my father's mouth was bleeding, but he just kept saying sorry."
"After beating Dad, that comrade felt unsatisfied and unable to console the souls of his fallen teammates. He mobilized his family to remove Dad's police badge, saying he wasn't fit to be a police officer protecting the people. He also posted on Dad's WeChat Moments about his escape from the police force, completely destroying his reputation."
"That little girl's classmates at school also told her, 'She's the daughter of a runaway cop, a bad kid who ran away, don't play with her.' In her mind, her father was always the most powerful hero in the world. Of course, she disagreed and kept arguing with her classmates, 'My father isn't a runaway cop, he's a hero.' She even got into a fight and injured a classmate. As a result, the teacher also disliked her and put all the blame on her. She was asked to drop out of school. She lost her friends since kindergarten and has been alone ever since."
"If she doesn't have friends, then she has no friends. For her, having a father who loves her is enough. But after God took away her friends, he also took away the most important thing in her life."
"Only six months had passed since the escape, and we had a lead on the drug trafficking organization that we hadn't eliminated the previous time. The detectives received the tip-off and decided to organize a stronger criminal police force to encircle and suppress them. However, time was very tight. If they had organized a stronger force, the drug trafficking organization might have already escaped. After discussion, the bureau decided to organize a small task force to contain the drug traffickers first."
"Dad got the news from somewhere, but even though he's no longer a police officer, he applied to join the assault squad. The squad was so short of people that they agreed to let him join."
"Everyone knew Dad wanted to wash away his shame, so they gave him a chance. The operation was quickly launched. The assault team surrounded the drug traffickers and waited for reinforcements from the main force. At this time, the drug traffickers realized the danger and chose to rush in one direction to escape. The drug traffickers' firepower was fierce. When the other members of the assault team chose to retreat and let the drug traffickers escape, he rushed forward alone, protecting his teammates and buying time for the main force to arrive. In the end, the drug trafficker gang was wiped out, but Dad was shot several times in the operation and fell in a pool of blood. He died."
"The little girl, in a rare act, didn't cry about her father's sacrifice. She knew he died protecting his teammates and apprehending a vicious criminal. He was a true hero. If the daughter of a hero cried, it would be a disgrace to her father. She felt terribly sad, but remained strong and didn't cry. She absolutely didn't cry. The liquid in the corners of her eyes wasn't tears, it was rain. It was raining that day."
"However, at Dad's funeral, the group said, 'You idiot! You clearly didn't have enough men. The assault team's goal was to buy time. Why did you insist on charging in alone? You deserved your death. What a brainless fool.'" Those teammates didn't think Dad's sacrifice washed away the humiliation of the escapees. Instead, they thought Dad's charge was a mindless act of suicide, a death in vain. He earned a new nickname, 'Brainless Fake Policeman.'
"Seeing that her father was no longer a police officer and could not use his portrait, even his death could not wash away the humiliation, and hearing the glory that her father had earned with his life, only to be misinterpreted by his teammates, the little girl was filled with grief and determination."
"'I will fulfill my father's regrets, I will wash away his shame. Through my own efforts, I will make his name great.'" This was the little girl's resolution. Thank God, the little girl has a great talent for being a police officer. She was able to participate in the investigation of major cases at a very young age and was called a super genius in the police force."
"Before I tell you about the police department's super genius, I have a few words to say." Hatred flashed in Xu Yaoji's eyes. "That father chose to flee when his teammates encountered powerful sniper fire. He was called the runaway cop, but in that scenario, the father's behavior seemed more like he was trying to use his own actions to draw fire from his teammates, thereby covering their retreat. As a result, his best partner, the comrade who was originally in charge of the battle, was so frightened that he didn't immediately order his teammates to retreat, and was surrounded and killed by the drug dealers' powerful firepower."
"Throughout the operation, that father had suggested we conduct reconnaissance before considering a sudden advance, but the comrade in command insisted on going ahead. He took all the responsibility when we pointed out the problems. If we were to identify the individuals truly responsible for the deaths of 12 teammates, the primary culprit would be the intelligence department's inaccurate intelligence, followed by the drug traffickers who directly perpetrated the massacre, then that comrade who was frightened and failed to lead, and finally, that father."
"Dad wasn't a cop running away. He was a hero who saved his teammates with his actions. But all his teammates were killed, and his explanation was pale and powerless. In the second battle, if Dad hadn't rushed in alone and drawn the fire, the drug dealers might have attacked the other teammates. Dad wasn't a mindless cop. He sacrificed himself to ensure the safety of his teammates. Dad is definitely a hero."
"What happened? My father's death didn't clear his name, but that teammate, thanks to this contribution, has been promoted all the way up the ranks. He's currently the head of the Haicheng Police Department. There's a high probability that he'll be transferred to the department next, giving him a chance to compete for a high position at the helm of the police force."
"Do you think it's reasonable? Lin An."
