Is this guy even human?!
"Xu...Xu Kuo?" Yuan Guoyao looked at the thugs scattered on the ground, then at the composed Xu Kuo, his mind went blank for a moment, and he asked subconsciously.
When Xu Kuo saw Yuan Guoyao and his group, he grinned, pointed to the wailing crowd on the ground, and shrugged easily.
"Old Yuan, you've come at the right time. Let's wrap things up. Wang Ming, Secretary Liu, and their gang of desperados, none of them escaped; they're all here."
"hiss--!"
The police officers at the door all gasped in shock!
This...this is too...too amazing! One person took down thirty or forty thugs?!
Yuan Guoyao finally came to his senses and was so excited that he was trembling all over!
He waved his hand.
"What are you all standing there for! Cuff them all! Take them away! Send the injured to the hospital, but keep them under close surveillance!"
"Yes, sir!" The officers snapped out of their daze and rushed in to control the situation.
Yuan Guoyao strode up to Xu Kuo, looked him up and down, and asked him questions with concern.
"Xu Kuo! How are you? Are you really not injured? They were all carrying weapons!"
Xu Kuo patted off non-existent dust from his body: "Don't worry, Elder Yuan, they're just a bunch of clowns, they can't hurt me."
Seeing Xu Kuo's calm and composed demeanor, Yuan Guoyao was utterly shocked!
This kid is a real gem! No, we absolutely can't let such a talent go!
He took a deep breath, looked intently at Xu Kuo, and spoke with utmost sincerity.
"Xu Kuo! Don't go back to the village! Work for me! Officially join our public security force! Enter the system! With your abilities and the great merit you've made this time, I guarantee you a bright future!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Kuo smiled and shook his head: "Elder Yuan, I appreciate your kindness. But... Xiuya and the others are waiting for me to go back and take care of them in the village. I'm still used to life there."
Upon hearing the name "Xiuya" and seeing Xu Kuo's determined gaze, Yuan Guoyao knew that he couldn't force the issue, and a great sense of regret welled up in his heart.
"Sigh... Well, everyone has their own ambitions, I won't force you."
Yuan Guoyao patted Xu Kuo heavily on the shoulder, "But! You saved Sheng Xu and captured Wang Ming's major criminal gang this time. Your merit is immense! First-class merit! We must recommend you for a first-class merit!"
"Then thank you very much, Elder Yuan." Xu Kuo accepted the offer readily.
He prepared to leave to check on Sheng Xu's situation.
At that moment, Sheng Xu's weak but grateful voice came from the hospital bed: "Xu Kuo...brother...I can't thank you enough..."
Xu Kuo turned around and smiled at him: "Captain Sheng, focus on recovering. We'll have plenty of opportunities to fight side by side in the future."
After saying that, he turned around and strode away from the hospital amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd.
When Xu Kuo returned to the village, news of his single-handedly fighting off thugs and capturing Wang Ming's gang at the county hospital had already spread far and wide!
The whole village was in an uproar!
"Xu Kuo is back! Our hero is back!"
"Xu Kuo! Well done! You've made our village chief proud!"
"I knew Xu Kuo was no ordinary man! He was practically a god descended to earth!"
The villagers spontaneously flocked to the village entrance to welcome their hero in the most heartwarming way.
Jiang Xiuying, Liu Yuan, Niu Erbao, Tan Wang and others crowded at the front, looking at Xu Kuo with excitement, worry and immense pride in their eyes.
Jiang Xiuying's eyes reddened as she quickly stepped forward and carefully examined Xu Kuo, her voice choked with emotion: "Are you...are you alright? You scared me to death..."
Xu Kuo took her hand and smiled gently: "It's alright, it's all in the past."
Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Under Xu Kuo's guidance and with the help of the improved corn seeds, the village's sweet corn harvest was unprecedented!
The golden, plump corn cobs were piled up like mountains. With a taste and sweetness far ahead of its time, they quickly gained popularity upon their release, selling to surrounding counties and cities, and even attracting supply and marketing cooperatives in the provincial capital to snap them up.
The villagers' pockets bulged at an unprecedented rate, and every household's face was filled with happy smiles.
It is what the people want and what everyone hopes for.
With the unanimous recommendation of the villagers, Xu Kuo was elected as the new village chief without any doubt.
Not long after, the county held a grand commendation meeting.
Yuan Guoyao personally and solemnly pinned a gleaming first-class merit medal on Xu Kuo's chest.
Under the spotlight, the medals gleamed, reflecting on Xu Kuo's young yet composed face.
Below the stage, the villagers and Jiang Xiuying and her colleagues gazed at them with pride and joy.
The legend of Xu Kuo is only just beginning to write a new chapter in this special era.
