218 Appointed by the District Police (2/2)

Liu Tieguo, Wang Lihu, and Ye Qiu all thought that they were hallucinating. District police? They were joining the district police? The sudden promotion from auxiliary police at a local police station to joining the district police was too fast, wasn't it?

Xiao Luo was just momentarily surprised, but he didn't show much change in his emotions.

”Chief, after joining the district police, are we still considered auxiliary police?” Liu Tieguo hurriedly asked.

”There are no auxiliary police at the district police station,” Feng Yuqi somewhat impatiently said. ”You will all become formally employed members of the police force.”

Hearing his words, three of the men cheered in joy and excitement. They were going to be formally employed, which meant that they would officially be part of the police force from now on. How could they not be excited and happy?

”Do I have to go?”

Just as they were immersed in joy, Xiao Luo suddenly spoke up.

They all were stunned and looked at him questioningly.

”Head, it is a good thing, so why not?”

”Yeah, it is my dream to work in the district police station.”

Wang Lihu and Ye Qiu furrowed their brows and expressed their puzzlement.

Xiao Luo did not reply to them. He felt somewhat uneasy. It was as if he had been targeted by one of the higher-ups in the police force. This was especially so because Gu Qianlin surprisingly didn't even come and ask about it after he caused such a huge commotion. It was too out of the ordinary and not in alignment with that woman's personality.

Feng Yuqi looked at him intensely for a while before replying, ”No, it is a direct order given by the district chief. Unless you quit, you can only obey and report to the district police station.”

”Everyone in this station would fight tooth and nail just to be sent there,” the instructor said. His gaze was intense. ”Xiao Luo, can you tell me why you don't want to go?”

Xiao Luo thought for a moment and came up with a perfunctory excuse. He laughed and said, ”It's because I've already developed feelings for this station. I'm worried that I might not be able to get used to the new, foreign environment.”

”Dude, you're overthinking,” Feng Yuqi said. ”You four will continue working as a team in the district police station, but there will one additional team member. Thus, you will form a special task force to specifically target the underground drug trade in the Guangming District.”

Xiao Luo was very sensitive, so he asked, ”Why us? Aren't there more suitable people for the job in the district police station?”

”Head, isn't it obvious?” Wang Lihu asked with a laugh. ”It must be that the district police have approved of our capabilities because we have successfully arrested 200-plus people in one go. That's why they made an exception and promoted us.”

Feng Yuqi said to Xiao Luo, ”Sometimes I feel that you are quite smart, but sometimes I feel like you have a brain made of wood. See, even Wang Lihu knows the reason, but here you are still asking why. Are you dumb?”

”Well, it's because I believe that if there's free lunch falling from the sky,” Xiao Luo solemnly said. ”There must be a trap on the ground waiting for you to step into it.”

”Where did all these dark thoughts in your mind come from?”

Feng Yuqi slightly reprimanded him before earnestly saying, ”I can pat myself on the chest and tell you loudly that you can relax. This isn't a trap. Furthermore, I am the one they are screwing over this time around. You all are the talents in our station. Now that they have poached you, I'm left with a bunch of incapable fools. We won't be able to handle any major cases next time. We'll only be dealing with a bunch of trivial civil disputes.”

His words boosted the ego of Liu Tieguo, Wang Lihu, and Ye Qiu significantly. So, they were all talents in the chief's eyes. Without realizing it, they puffed their chests out and held their heads high.

Xiao Luo said nothing else. He was only able to take one step at a time, and he had to be more careful about it.
