A few days later!
In the early morning.
At Cloud Street.
“Master Lin, I’m here and I have good news for you.” Liu Xiao Tian’s face beamed as he came in smiling.
Lin Fan got up and smiled, “Inspector Liu, judging by your expression, it must be really good. But don’t tell me yet, let me guess. You’re getting promoted, aren’t you?”
Liu Xiao Tian chuckled, “I didn’t really get promoted. My appointment didn’t change but my ranking rose slightly. But enough talk about that, look at this.”
Lin Fan instantly became delighted. “I don’t just get a Good Citizen Award this time but I even get a banner? That’s amazing!”
Liu Xiao Tian said, “Of course. Now, every police station in Shanghai knows your great name. You’re even more well-known that our police stations’ own people now. The leader of the Third Drug Enforcement Team even wanted to recruit you but I immediately refused on your behalf.”
“Haha,” Lin Fan laughed. Sometimes, it isn’t good to be too capable. It is easy for people to keep thinking about you if you are too capable.
Liu Xiao Tian exchanged some small talk with Lin Fan. Then, he started to talk about proper business, “I haven’t forgotten what you asked of me. I’ve taken care of everything. The day after tomorrow, there will be an Honors Ceremony. As the main contributor, you must participate. You’ll have to go on stage to receive the award. Of course, the cash award will not be small. For this great service, the organization has decided to award you with $200,000.”
Lin Fan was startled, “They’re so generous?”
Liu Xiao Tian said, “They’ve always been so generous. That day, reporters will be present as well. We have to make some announcements. Sometimes, the information provided by the public comes quicker than what we police find through our investigations.”
“That is true.” Lin Fan nodded. Although the police force was very specialized, they can’t compare to the eyes of the public. The public has sharp eyes. Even a small action by criminals cannot escape their eyes.
Liu Xiao Tian waved his hand, “I’ve told you everything that I should. Remember to come on time in two days.”
Lin Fan said, “Do I still need to wear that monkey mask?”
Liu Xiao Tian laughed, “Why would you still need to wear it? The reporters have already exposed you. No need.”
Lin Fan smiled, “I don’t think I need it either. I did a good thing and I should be open and proud about it. Moreover, this is Shanghai. I don’t need to be afraid of anyone taking revenge on me.”
Liu Xiao Tian raised his thumb, then left the place.
…
At that moment, Fraud Tian looked enviously at Lin Fan and said, “Yet another Good Citizen Award and even a banner. I’m really dying of jealousy.”
Lin Fan held it in his hands and looked closely at it. “Not bad. We’ll hang it in the shop.”
Zhao Zhong Yang said, “Brother Lin, you have too many Good Citizen Awards. Could it be that you want to fill the whole shop with them?”
“I do have such thoughts,” Lin Fan said with a smiled, “But there is still a long way to go. I need to work harder and keep taking down criminals in order to decorate our little shop.”
“Awesome!”
Zhao Zhong Yang was at a loss for words and could only say that it was amazing. Only Brother Lin could dare to think of something like that. No average person would dare to have such thoughts.
After all, how would they come across so many bad people?
At that moment, Zhao Ming Qing’s call came.
“Hello, Ming Qing. What’s up?” Lin Fan asked.
Zhao Ming Qing said, “Teacher, are you busy right now?”
Lin Fan replied, “I’m not. Is there something going on?”
Zhao Ming Qing was acting mysteriously, “No. I will be reaching Cloud Street soon. Come with me to a certain place.”
“Go where? Why are you acting so mysteriously?” Lin Fan couldn’t figure it out even if he wrecked his brain thinking.
Zhao Ming Qing, “Your student will be reaching soon.”
Soon after.
A car stopped outside the shop. Zhao Ming Qing got out from the car. “Teacher, let’s get in the car.”
