In the port city, Bai Yi stood ramrod straight in his office, while the middle-aged man opposite him was so angry that he spat everywhere.
"Look at you, a police superintendent actually getting involved with that gang of thugs, that's one thing, but as a police officer, you actually helped the gang fight."
Bai Yi stood at attention and saluted, "Sir, I am willing to accept punishment."
Gao Yaoguang rubbed his temples in anger. Bai Yi was the most promising person in the police station, and he believed that sooner or later, Bai Yi would take his position as inspector.
He was about to retire and intended to promote Bai Yi, but he never expected that such an upright person would get involved with that group of gangsters.
"Leave your gun and work ID behind. The police station will give you leave. We'll notify you when to come back to work."
Bai Yi didn't say anything! He simply placed his work permit and service weapon in front of Gao Yaoguang, indicating that he had been suspended from his duties.
Bai Yi saluted Gao Yaoguang and said, "Yes."
Gao Yaoguang waved his hand, saying that this matter was quite serious and that if he didn't put on a show, he wouldn't be able to convince those people in society.
Bai Yi opened the door, and his group of subordinates who had been eavesdropping outside were caught red-handed. One of the police officers spoke up.
"Boss, you...."
Bai Yi breathed a sigh of relief and patted the group of people on the shoulder.
"It's okay, I haven't had a vacation in a long time either. Let's just treat it as a short holiday for the police station."
"Alright, everyone, perk up! Don't slack off while I'm gone. You are the people's police, and the country needs you. Do a good job."
Bai Yi returned to his car and lit a cigarette. He doesn't usually smoke, but he was feeling a bit troubled today. It wasn't easy for him to get to where he is now, from a junior police officer.
He has solved countless cases, big and small, and arrested countless criminals, but he has also offended many people. He does not regret what happened that night, and he would do the same thing again if he had to do it all over again.
He Ci and the others are like brothers to him. Although they have different paths and cannot work together, their brotherhood is genuine, the kind that would go to great lengths for each other.
Meanwhile, He Ci was also busy, lying in the ward dealing with three girls.
"Little auntie, please stop crying, okay? I'm perfectly fine."
Qin Lu sniffed, and tears streamed down her face.
"Brother Ci! You're injured like this and you still say you're fine? What would I do if something happened to you?"
Luna looked at He Ci angrily and said, "If I find out who did it, I will make my brother kill their whole family."
Unlike the two women, Yu Ping was not as excited. Instead, she took good care of them, feeding them water and fruit from time to time.
When Luca came in, he heard his sister say she wanted to kill the whole family, and he spoke up to condemn her in a doting tone.
"Who do you want me to kill for you? Girls who are always shouting for violence, be careful you won't be able to get married."
He Ci saw Luca's pleading expression; the three girls were making a terrible racket.
Luca sat down opposite He Ci. "How are you? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
He Ci really wanted to say that his head was not feeling well, because of the noise from these three girls. If the three of them weren't there, he might have been able to be discharged from the hospital sooner.
Having been brothers for so many years, Luca could guess what He Ci was thinking. He turned to Luna and spoke, his eyes glancing at Qin Lu intentionally or unintentionally.
"I need to talk to Aci. It's New Year's Eve, everyone should go home early!"
Luna tried to say something but Qin Lu pulled her out. Soon, only Luca and He Ci remained in the ward, and it finally quieted down.
"Thank you so much, Kazai. If you hadn't arrived in time, I might have been chopped into mincemeat."
Luca was speechless. "Even without me, you wouldn't have become mincemeat. In this port city, you're the one who chops up others; it's rare to see you get chopped up."
He Ci smiled and asked, "How did the handover of the Hai Gang go? Has anyone made things difficult for you?"
Luca handed him the peeled apple. "You've cleared away all the obstacles. I'm just here to take over. As for those who don't listen, let them behave."
The two exchanged a smile. Luca was not only He Ci's brother, but also his right-hand man.
He Ci has four protectors, two in the open and two in the shadows. Ali and Arang are in the open, while Luca and another are in the shadows. Others only know that Luca is the eldest son of the Lu family, but they don't know that he is also He Ci's subordinate.
