Chapter 32

Everyone in the courtyard was still thinking that if he were assigned to Workshop One, he would probably be in the same workshop as Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, and might even have to follow Yi Zhonghai as an apprentice.

So, Yi Zhonghai didn't have much of a reaction when he received the pork last night, thinking that Li Xuewu knew he would be assigned to him and was laying the groundwork in advance.

He never expected it to be the Public Security Section.

The power of the Public Security Section is neither big nor small, and the workers looked at the Public Security Section with awe.

The few people living in the same courtyard were all eating in silence.

The First Uncle's mind was stunned; he hadn't heard that the Li family had anyone in the factory.

The Second Uncle was dissatisfied; he had struggled for the factory for so many years without even an official title, yet a little punk became a public security officer after serving as a soldier for two years.

Liu Guangtian was envious, jealous, and hateful—envious of that police uniform, jealous of the person wearing it, and hateful of Li Xuewu for the piece of meat that caused him to get beaten.

Qin Huairu's expression was complex; she originally thought a 19-year-old young man would just start as an apprentice like her, but who would have thought he would go to the easy Security Department.

loubiqu.

She sighed at the unfairness of fate. Everyone listened to Seeing Sha Zhu bragging while serving dishes: "See that? My brother, we ate meat and drank wine together last night, we're from the same courtyard."

Liu Lan retorted as usual: "Then why don't I see him giving you a good look?"

Seeing Sha Zhu said while serving dishes: "Do you know what it means to be deep? He used to be a military cadre, an official!"

Although Seeing Sha Zhu said this in an exaggerated way, the people from the courtyard who were getting food at the time only then learned that Li Xuewu was originally a military cadre.

The five of them finished their meal at about the same time, stood up together, went to the sink to wash their lunch boxes together, and then, led by Li Xuewu, left the canteen together, not saying a word as they walked.

This damn sense of oppression!

As soon as they left, the canteen "boomed" with discussion.

The young members of the Public Security Section were either demobilized soldiers or people with good skills from the militia who had joined the section.

But the section chief was just killing time waiting for retirement. Now that an officer had come to lead them, the four of them were holding themselves to the standards of soldiers, very eager, just waiting for the new section chief to lead them to perform meritorious service.

As soon as Li Xuewu left the canteen, he saw his appointment document posted on the bulletin board on the right, with a one-week assessment period and mentions of accepting public reports, and so on.

Li Xuewu looked at it and didn't say anything, took the four of them back upstairs, let them take a nap, while he retrieved his old file and went downstairs to ask Little Wang in the militia office for the militia's materials, reading through them all hastily.

At this time, documents and files didn't have the fluff of later generations; they contained a lot of substantial content, so the documents weren't thick.

Li Xuewu carefully read the case handling of the Public Security Section and the operational flow of the guard team's files.

To Li Xuewu, who had spent half his life struggling in state-owned enterprises in later generations, these were very simple.

Just as Li Xuewu was preparing to tidy up the materials and send them back, the phone on the desk rang, waking up the four people who were sleeping on their respective desks.

Only Li Xuewu's desk in the Public Security Section had a phone, so they all watched Li Xuewu pick it up.

As soon as Li Xuewu picked up the phone, he heard a hurried voice from the other end: "At noon today after work, Hu Jinbu, a machinist in Workshop Two, is pulling two bags of sawdust containing parts, and he'll be at the gate in ten minutes." After saying this, he hung up with a "clatter."

Every workshop and key location in the factory had a phone. This person didn't say who they were, just reported the case and hung up. If no one had seen it with their own eyes or heard it with their own ears, it would be impossible to find out who reported it.

Li Xuewu stood up with a "whoosh" and called out: "Follow me, there's a situation."

As he spoke, he took the lead and rushed downstairs, running toward the gate. Although Han Yating and the other three didn't know what had happened, seeing the section chief take the lead and rush down, they all followed and ran out.

When the five of them ran to the gate, they saw a young man riding a bicycle carrying two sacks of sawdust, about to leave, and the guards didn't stop him.

Li Xuewu shouted sternly: "Hu Jinbu! Stop!"

Although Han Yating and the other three didn't know why the section chief wanted to stop Hu Jinbu, they all followed and surrounded him.

As soon as Hu Jinbu saw the people from the Public Security Section surrounding him, he was scared stiff, turned around, bumped into the guard he was arguing with, and wanted to get on his bike and run away.

Li Xuewu really dared to use the real thing; he took out the large Type 54 on his waist, opened the safety, chambered a round, and fired a shot into the sky.

"Bang!"

"Stop, don't move! If you move again, I'll shoot!"

Hearing Li Xuewu fire, even Han Yating and the others, who often trained with firearms, were stunned—what kind of crime could this be?

But in the end, they were elite soldiers of the Public Security Section, and they reacted instantly.

He's here!

He's here!

He's coming with meritorious service!

A walking meritorious service is right before their eyes!

Someone who could be shot at and arrested by the section chief—the few of them thought, this time they've really hit the jackpot!

Haha! It's our luck that the four of us won the prize today!

Drinking tea and reading newspapers with the old section chief, they all felt that life was as bland as water, which went against their original intention for joining the Public Security Section, especially Han Yating, who had thoughts of transferring.

Finally waited for you, luckily I didn't give up...

Firing a gun on the first day of work, this big brother is worth following!

The four of them took out their guns one after another, pointed them at Hu Jinbu, and said: "Stop!"

But inwardly, they were shouting wildly: "Run! Run!" The further you run, the greater the meritorious service!

The guard standing with Hu Jinbu was stunned; the first shot made his legs tremble, and now being pointed at by five large Type 54s...

Drip!

I'm just a small guard, what virtue or ability do I have to deserve this!

Hu Jinbu, who saw Li Xuewu and the others running over and was preparing to get on his bike to run away, had one short leg stuck on the bicycle frame, not daring to move, while the other short leg supporting him on the ground was trembling. He couldn't reach the ground well to begin with, and now he looked even more like a monkey hanging on a tree.

Li Xuewu took the lead, Han Yating and Xu Ning stood with guns aimed from the left and right, and Liu Fusheng and Wei Tong put away their guns and rushed toward Hu Jinbu.

They really treated Hu Jinbu like a spy. Wei Tong looked honest and simple, but his movements were swift, decisive, and ruthless. After being the first to tackle him, he punched Hu Jinbu in the liver, causing Hu Jinbu's body to curl up like a shrimp.

After Liu Fusheng arrived, he took out the handcuffs tucked in his back waist and handcuffed Hu Jinbu behind his back.

Because the two were too excited, the handcuffs were tightened very firmly, and Hu Jinbu, who was under them, let out a pig-like scream.

Seeing that the person had been caught, Li Xuewu and the other three put away their guns.

He stepped forward twice to help Wei Tong up, and Liu Fusheng pulled Hu Jinbu to his feet.

Li Xuewu saw that Wei Tong's hand had been scraped by the bicycle handlebar and was bleeding a bit, so he hurriedly told him to go to the infirmary to stop the bleeding.

Wei Tong shook the blood off his hand, and seeing it was still bleeding, he ran to the infirmary.

Li Xuewu sent Wei Tong away and used his hand to pinch the chin of Hu Jinbu, who was being held by Liu Fusheng.

"I called you, why were you running?"

Hu Jinbu trembled and mustered his courage to say: "Who was running? I didn't hear you call, I was just in a hurry to go home."

Li Xuewu didn't want to waste words with him and pointed to the bicycle, asking: "Is this your bicycle?"
