Chapter 351: Oh, don't be so stingy

Upon returning to the dormitory, Huang Gan and Wang Zheng were already waiting for Li Xuewu.

"What's up?"

Looking at the two of them smiling, Li Xuewu felt as if two little foxes were sitting in the room.

Wang Zheng laughed, "Alright, little brother, you've got guts. Once we're back in the capital, it's my treat—we're going to Old Mo's."

Huang Gan also stood on his tiptoes to pat Li Xuewu on the shoulder, laughing, "I'll treat you to the Beijing Hotel."

"Got it, then I'll be waiting!"

Li Xuewu didn't care whether they would actually treat him or not, but such grandiosity was worth praising.

They weren't going straight to rest tonight; there were still two classes left—one on communications command and one on laws and regulations—and the summary report for the evening study session had to be written as usual.

The time they returned was right at the meal hour, so having already eaten, they still had time to rest for a while.

Li Xuewu checked his watch and told the two that he would head out first and meet them at the classroom later.

Everyone was a cadre, and everyone had matters to communicate with their units and families, so when Huang Gan saw Li Xuewu leave first, he knew he was going to make a phone call.

Indeed, Li Xuewu entered the duty room, registered, and picked up the phone to call the capital.

"Hello."

Hearing the voice on the other end, Li Xuewu knew who it was and said with a smile, "Mom, it's me, Xuewu."

"Oh, it's Xuewu!"

On the other end of the line, Ding Bianji stood by the sofa, turned her head to glance at her daughter and daughter-in-law who were about to head to the dining room for a meal, her face full of surprised smiles.

"Yes, Mom. Today is the Lantern Festival. I can't come to see you, so I wanted to call and ask how you are."

Hearing that Li Xuewu was thinking of her, the smile on Ding Bianji's face grew even brighter.

"Good, good, good, everyone is doing well."

Although she knew who Li Xuewu was calling to find, Ding Fengxia still felt very happy to hear Li Xuewu say this.

"Oh, I know you're studying, so don't worry. Everything at home is fine. I even had Aunt Xiao Ning go to your place to check today; everything is quite good."

As she spoke, she sat down on the sofa. Looking at her daughter, who was hesitant and being pulled over by her daughter-in-law, Ding Fengxia said with a smile, "Why be so formal with family?"

As she spoke, she deliberately delayed the time, teasing her daughter who kept stealing glances this way.

"You're in Tianjin by yourself, stay safe, take care of yourself, and don't push yourself too hard."

Li Xuewu could still chat with his mother-in-law, but Mu Hongyan, seeing her sister-in-law, who was being teased by her mother-in-law, unable to wait any longer, smiled and pushed Gu Ning toward the phone.

Knowing that Li Xuewu was looking for Gu Ning, Ding Fengxia was just teasing her daughter. Seeing Gu Ning blushing now, she handed the phone to her.

"Good, good, good. Gu Ning won't let me talk anymore; she's grabbing the phone. I'm giving the phone to Gu Ning now."

Under her daughter's reserve, Ding Fengxia handed the phone over.

Gu Ning knew her mother was teasing her, but thinking of Li Xuewu's tight schedule, she still reached out and took the phone with a blushing face.

"Hello."

"Mm."

"Mm."

It was unclear what the two were saying, but Gu Ning just blushed and lowered her head, agreeing.

Mu Hongyan wanted to go to the phone to eavesdrop, but seeing Gu Ning hiding to the side with a red face, she was pulled away by Ding Fengxia with a laugh.

Checking the time on her watch, nearly twenty minutes had passed. Li Xuewu asked Gu Ning with a smile, "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll bring it back."

Gu Ning was alone in the living room, so she became bolder in her speech, no longer just saying "mm" to everything Li Xuewu said.

"There's nothing I want to eat. You take care of yourself."

"I will."

Li Xuewu agreed with a smile and said, "I have to go to class. I'll find you when I get back."

"Okay."

The two's conversation was like that of children. Hanging up the phone, Li Xuewu walked out the door amidst the duty officer's smiles and headed toward the classroom.

At the Gu residence, Gu Ning listened to Li Xuewu hang up the phone and sat on the sofa for a while before heading to the dining room.

They were already halfway through the meal; Ding Fengxia and Mu Hongyan had deliberately slowed down their pace to wait for Gu Ning.

As soon as Gu Ning sat at the table, Mu Hongyan, with a face full of smiles, mimicked Gu Ning's words from just a moment ago, using a delicate tone: "There's nothing I want to eat~ You take care of yourself~"

Seeing her sister-in-law mimic her, Gu Ning's face, which had just calmed down, turned red again.

"I don't talk like that."

Ding Fengxia couldn't bear to see her daughter shy, so she said to her daughter-in-law with a smile, "You're teasing your sister, but back when Xiao An was at home, he would secretly call you..."

"Mom~"

Mu Hongyan thought of her husband calling the hospital every day at that time and said with a smile, "Gu An used to call every single day back then; it wasn't as interesting as Aunt Xiao Ning's."

Ding Fengxia said with a smile, "Who is as thick-skinned as Gu An? Li Xuewu is honest and kind."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Mu Hongyan looked at Gu Ning and said, "Look at Mom. They aren't even married yet, and the son-in-law is already dearer than the son."

As she spoke, she laughed at Ding Fengxia, "I see it now. When Li Xuewu calls you 'Mom,' you smile even more happily than when Gu An calls you!"

"Hahahaha."

Ding Fengxia thought about her son-in-law gaining face for her at his unit and said very happily, "The palm and the back of the hand are both flesh; which one isn't dear?"

Looking at Gu Ning eating quietly, Ding Fengxia, though smiling, said with great emotion, "Gu An is a steady child; you two are both good, so I don't need to worry. The third one is someone who won't suffer a loss, so I don't need to worry either. It's just Aunt Xiao Ning..."

Hearing her mother's words, Gu Ning raised her head, looked at her mother's expression, and said, "I'm doing quite well."

"Mom knows."

Ding Fengxia nodded and said with a smile, "Xuewu is a righteous child, knows how to handle things, and has ambition. Mom thinks he's quite good. Seeing you two getting along well now makes Mom happy."

Hearing her mother mention Li Xuewu, Gu Ning lowered her head again and continued eating.

Ding Fengxia looked at her daughter's reserve and said, "A grown child is not under the mother's control. When I first met Li Xuewu, I didn't take a liking to him—not to mention his appearance, he also had a child."

Mu Hongyan looked at her mother-in-law; she had always understood her mother-in-law's thoughts. The reason she was dissatisfied with Li Xuewu at the beginning was precisely because of the child.

"But your father was right. If he can have compassion for an orphan he doesn't even know, then he isn't a heartless person, and he won't treat you badly."

Mu Hongyan nodded, agreeing with her mother-in-law's words, and said, "I really think highly of this young man. In the courtyard and in our unit, I haven't seen anyone as excellent as Li Xuewu at his age."

Seeing her daughter-in-law chime in, Ding Fengxia said with a smile, "Exactly. That's why I said let Li Xuewu find a time to meet with his parents. If we settle this matter sooner, Mom will be at ease sooner."

Gu Ning paused with her rice bowl, raised her head, and looked at her mother, wanting to say something.

Ding Fengxia comforted her with a smile, "I'm not in a rush. I just want Li Xuewu to keep this matter in mind. It's fine to arrange it later, but we have to leave some time for your father, right?"

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of vegetable for Gu Ning and said, "Your father feels the same way. He's busy, but he still has to make time for his children's major life events. So, let Li Xuewu set the time, and then your father will adjust his schedule."

Gu Ning knew that her father worked mostly in the south, and it wasn't easy for him to come back.

Seeing that her mother had said this much, she could only nod, effectively agreeing.

Seeing her daughter loosen up, Ding Fengxia nodded with a smile and said, "Then we've settled this matter. Once things are stable on Li Xuewu's side, we'll arrange it."

The training time passed very quickly, and Li Xuewu also received a reply from Zhou Ya Mei.

The letter was a thick package, and it had already been opened by the time it reached Li Xuewu's hands.

Li Xuewu didn't pay much attention to such things. For official mailing addresses, especially for professions like Li Xuewu's, letter censorship was very normal.

However, when Liu Zheng handed the letter to Li Xuewu, he asked whose manuscript it was.

Li Xuewu admitted very frankly that it was the experience and thoughts he had summarized while exploring his work, and that he was asking professional psychology personnel to help revise it.

Liu Zheng didn't offer any commentary but said with a smile that he would go buy it to read once it was published.

Perhaps because of Li Xuewu's open-mindedness and drive, Liu Zheng had a very good impression of him.

One week into the training, the homeroom teacher required everyone to submit a graduation thesis before completion.

The topic and theme needed to be reported; there was no word limit, but the grade would affect the graduation grade.

Starting from Saturday, the evening tea parties were changed into thesis seminars. The daytime classes were not reduced, and they still had to stay up late at night to write their theses.

During this period, everyone was very busy. Huang Gan was even more restless, holding his notebook and running from room to room, wanting to see what everyone was preparing to write.

After a period of discussion, everyone had their own thesis topics.

There were titles like "On the Innovation of Police Patrol Systems" and "Research on Police Management Mechanisms in Police Stations"...

After referring to everyone's topics, Huang Gan chose "Standardized Management of Detention Centers," and Wang Zheng's topic was "Research on Unified Command Issues in Police Cooperation."

When Huang Gan pulled open Li Xuewu's declared thesis topic, his eyes widened. He looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "What kind of thing is this? 'The Application of Criminal Psychology in Police Work'?"

Hearing Huang Gan's words, Wang Zheng also ran over to look at Li Xuewu's thesis topic, frowned, and asked, "Criminal psychology? What kind of discipline is this?"

Li Xuewu leaned back in his chair and explained, "This is a discipline that studies criminal psychology and behavioral patterns as a reflection of society."

As he spoke, he used a pen to draw on his notebook while continuing to explain, "One can analyze the criminal's mind from both narrow and broad perspectives."

By now, several people had come to Li Xuewu's dormitory. Hearing Li Xuewu's explanation, they asked, "How do you explain the narrow perspective?"

"From a narrow perspective, it only studies the criminal's psychology, that is, the psychology of the criminal subject."

"This includes the reasons and processes for the formation of the criminal's psychological structure, and the psychological activities during the criminal process."

Speaking of this, Li Xuewu pointed at Wang Zheng and said, "In public security management, through the study of criminal psychological activities, it can be applied to case detection and interrogation."

After finishing, he pointed at Huang Gan and said, "Through the study of the criminal's mind, one can also exert influence on the criminal psychological structure and provide education; your work can also use this."

Huang Gan frowned and asked, "How come I've never heard of this discipline? If it existed, we should have learned it during this training."

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Coincidentally, this is a discipline I am currently researching. It hasn't been officially published yet. Once my book is published, this discipline will officially exist."

"What the hell?!"

Huang Gan now felt like he wanted to die. It's one thing that your marksmanship is good, your fighting is good, and your writing is good, but you're also publishing a book?

And it's the kind of book that creates a new discipline?

Isn't that the kind of awesome master who writes books to establish a legacy?!

Huang Gan felt that Li Xuewu was getting a bit carried away and really wanted to say, "Why don't you just fly to the sky?" But thinking that he had eaten the other's food and was thus at a disadvantage, he wisely shut his mouth.

However, the trainees who heard Li Xuewu's explanation of criminal psychology in the dormitory that night were indeed inspired.

Li Xuewu's explanation quickly spread to the ears of other trainees, and everyone was discussing this discipline after class.

The trainees' dynamics quickly reached the ears of the homeroom teacher and the instructors.

On Sunday, Li Xuewu was asked to give a lecture on criminal psychology to all trainees after the evening study session.

This was something Li Xuewu hadn't expected; he hadn't anticipated everyone's level of attention and enthusiasm for discussion regarding this discipline.

He also hadn't expected the training class leadership to attach such importance to the research he had proposed.

After the Sunday evening study session, everyone didn't leave but sat in their seats, waiting for Li Xuewu to take the stage and begin his lecture.

Just as Li Xuewu walked onto the podium at the class monitor's signal, he discovered a group of people suddenly entering the back of the classroom.

Li Xuewu recognized the one in the lead; it was the homeroom teacher, Liu Zheng. Some of those who followed were familiar, and some were not.

The familiar ones were the instructors who had been teaching these past few days; those he didn't recognize were all wearing Zhongshan suits.

Homeroom teacher Liu Zheng had no intention of introducing them and raised his hand to signal Li Xuewu to continue.

Li Xuewu's big heart wasn't afraid of such a scene at all. Without even looking at the draft he had prepared, he began his lecture on criminal psychology for the night.

"Compared to narrow criminal psychology, broad criminal psychology not only studies the psychology of the criminal subject..."

"... but also studies the psychology of people with criminal tendencies, the psychology of released prisoners, as well as the psychology of victims, witnesses, judicial personnel during the litigation process, and the psychology during the criminal reform process, and so on."

Li Xuewu started from the history of criminal psychology and talked about the psychological techniques he had applied in handling several cases.

Finally, he brought out relevant interrogation cases and analyzed in detail the interrogation process of a major enemy agent case at a certain factory and the psychological activities of the relevant criminals.

As well as the psychological applications Li Xuewu himself used in interrogating Hu and others, and the conclusions he reached.

The audience below was stunned; they hadn't expected Li Xuewu to have experienced so many major cases at such a young age.

Especially the Organization and Discipline Committee member Hu Xianjin—what the hell, you've heard of the 129 case? Isn't this talking about yourself?!

At the end of his lecture, Li Xuewu stood on the podium and said to the trainees below and the instructors standing behind, "Therefore, I regard criminal psychology as an important component of criminal discipline research."

Li Xuewu had told his classmates this in the dormitory, but hearing it now, everyone had a different feeling and reflection.

"The work we do has a natural lag, so if we want to improve the level of public security management, we need to study the causes and conditions of crime from one side, explore the laws of crime, and seek countermeasures to control and prevent crime."

"I am willing to continuously explore and research this discipline that concerns the progress of criminology, and I am also willing to throw out a brick to attract jade, sharing these insights with everyone. The road ahead is long and arduous, and I will search high and low. Thank you."

Just as Li Xuewu finished his final statement and saluted the audience, Liu Zheng, who was standing at the back, was the first to applaud.

Then came thunderous applause. All the trainees in the class stood up and applauded the little brother who was the youngest in the class but ranked at the top in both cultural and skill quality.

Li Xuewu's training course hadn't finished yet when it was interrupted by an event.

February 10th in the capital—the sun was warm, the weather was clear, and the spring breeze was slightly cool.

On the second floor of the Great Hall, inside the magnificent banquet hall, a grand banquet was being held.

The banquet hall was vast, enough to accommodate over five thousand people.

On the stage to the south, meticulously prepared cultural programs were performed one after another.

Mr. Z maintained a proper smile throughout, conversing with foreign guests.

Wang Xueren, responsible for the security work of the Great Hall, stood in a corner of the hall, his eyes occasionally scanning the interior of the venue.

He was a veteran security officer with many years of experience, and although he attached enough importance to today's banquet...

... within the scope of his responsibilities, he dared to say that as long as he didn't allow it, not even a fly would be able to fly in.

Before the banquet was held, Wang Xueren had already led the security personnel through countless drills. He was certain that the procedures were all complete.

Everything was proceeding on track; the atmosphere was harmonious and very smooth.

Just as Wang Xueren turned his head to look at his superior with an appreciative gaze, intending to convey "It's all what I should do"...

"Bang!"

A sudden gunshot made the eyes of Wang Xueren and the leader he was looking at freeze.

Without the leader saying a word, Wang Xueren had already begun to act.

In fact, this gunshot wasn't intense; it even came very calmly, so calmly that it was almost ignored.

The cultural performance on stage continued, and even the leaders and foreign friends in the front were applauding enthusiastically.

Although the sound at the scene was relatively noisy, based on years of work experience, Wang Xueren and his leader knew that this wasn't a misunderstanding; this must be a gunshot.

And the fact was exactly so.

Wang Xueren calmly walked out of the banquet hall, and as the banquet hall doors closed, he rapidly led people outside the venue.

"Over there!"

The security guard who came out with Wang Xueren pointed at the second-floor window and said, "It's a bullet hole!"

The Great Hall is an important venue for holding political activities and handling major official business.

From the outside, it is a solemn and imposing building, and the interior layout is also gorgeous and has a grand style.

As early as the design phase, layers of defensive measures were laid out, and with many foreign guests present at this time, it was naturally heavily guarded.

The glass used for the hall windows was carefully selected; the material was hard and had inner and outer layers, which was originally very sturdy.

But under the guidance of the security personnel, Wang Xueren saw that on the outermost layer of glass of that window, there was strikingly a round hole.

And although the inner layer of glass hadn't been broken through, it had spread spiderweb-like cracks, and fine glass shards were scattered on the ground.

And what caused this scene was precisely a bullet head lying among the shards.

Wang Xueren walked to the base of the wall and picked up the bullet head that had fallen to the ground.

The caliber of the bullet head was very small, and it had already deformed; if one didn't look carefully, it was almost impossible to notice.

Gun control at this time couldn't be said to be without rules, but wanting to get a gun, especially a long gun, was as simple as working to buy a mobile phone.

No one dared to say what the purpose of this bullet was, but since it was shot at the Great Hall, it absolutely could not be taken lightly.

While Wang Xueren was examining the bullet head, his superior came over at a trot.

"What's going on?"

Although Wang Xueren's face was very ugly, he still reported, "It's a shooting. This is the bullet head."

The leader asked with an ashen face, "Who shot it? Have you found them?"

Wang Xueren shook his head. The leader pointed at the bullet head in his hand and said, "Then are you just staring at it? Can you catch the person from this?!"

After finishing his words, he went back to report. No one dared to hide this matter; it was reported all the way up, directly to Mr. Z.

Mr. Z was also very shocked after hearing it. He pointed at the security leader and said, "Let the experts come to investigate. Ask Comrade Huaiyou to preside over this case. Pay attention to confidentiality."

After finishing his words, he let the reporting personnel leave, and the banquet at the scene didn't end.

The cultural performance at the banquet reached its climax, and the emotions of the foreign guests also became enthusiastic.

But there were undercurrents flowing along the cracks in the glass, spreading to the tense heartstrings of all those in the know.

The Comrade Huaiyou that Mr. Z entrusted was a deputy leader in charge of the security work of the Ministry of Public Security, and he was also a veteran security officer with many years of security experience.

After receiving the relevant notification, he rushed to the scene, accompanied by a professional team.

Professional personnel from the Light Weapons Research Institute investigated the scene and took away the small-caliber bullet head for analysis.

Ballistics experts from the ministry also launched an investigation into the cracks on the window glass.

In addition, because they didn't know if there were any follow-up moves, Comrade Huaiyou ordered experts from the security department to rush to the Great Hall and quietly strengthen the defensive forces.

This sudden shooting case was organized and commanded by Mr. Z and Comrade Huaiyou, and the investigation unfolded in an orderly manner.

"Emergency assembly!"

Everyone who was in the middle of a fighting class was "bang-bang" throwing each other; today they were practicing three-person capture movements.

And Li Xuewu gave everyone another lesson in Red Star-brand detention movements with his actual actions.

Just as everyone was experimenting with Li Xuewu's detention techniques, Liu Zheng suddenly walked into the classroom and shouted the assembly order to everyone.

Everyone didn't know what had happened, but discipline still made them assemble in the gymnasium.

They saw Liu Zheng walk solemnly to the front of the team and say to everyone, "Per the request of the superior leadership, all trainees are to suspend their coursework. Now, immediately pack your luggage and assemble in front of the dormitory building."

After giving the order, Liu Zheng shouted "Dismissed!" and turned to leave.

Under the order of the class monitor Zhou Zhengquan, the team ran toward the dormitory, shouting slogans.

On the way back to the dormitory, Huang Gan gave Li Xuewu a wink, but Li Xuewu shook his head.

Seeing that Li Xuewu, who communicated more with the homeroom teacher, didn't know either, Huang Gan frowned.

After returning to the dormitory, both were packing their luggage quickly. Huang Gan glanced outside the door while packing, then whispered to Li Xuewu, "What do you think it is?"

After Li Xuewu bundled his quilt and left the straps for carrying it, he didn't even raise his head and said, "Emergency order, you want me to guess? Why don't you take a few coins and tell a fortune?"

Huang Gan stuffed the seafood Li Xuewu had given him into his luggage bag, curled his lips, and said, "If I had that ability, I'd calculate how many schemes you have."

As he spoke, he had already put on his luggage, picked up his bag, and said to Li Xuewu, "Someone who studies human psychology—mustn't their mind be like a hornet's nest?"

"Go to hell!"

Li Xuewu also packed his luggage, put on his luggage bag, picked up his bag, and followed Huang Gan out the door.

At the dormitory entrance, the large truck to pick them up was already parked there.

Under the command of the class monitor and the reception cadre, everyone quickly formed a team and then boarded the truck.

The convoy followed the road they had come by and sent the trainees directly to the train station platform.

When Li Xuewu got off the truck, he took a look. The train they were to take should be the train passing through Tianjin to the capital.

Seeing that there were no passengers on the platform, it must have been waiting for Li Xuewu and these people.

The dispatching capability of this era, compared to the high transport volume of later generations, could still be considered okay.

Li Xuewu carried his luggage and followed the team onto the train. Perhaps it was a temporarily allocated carriage; there were no other passengers in the carriage where the trainees were.

Before the luggage was even put on the racks, the train started moving.

Compared to when they arrived, the separate carriage seemed much quieter.

Li Xuewu looked at Liu Zheng sitting in front, pulled Huang Gan who was sitting with him, and walked forward along the aisle.

The trainees along the way thought Li Xuewu was going to the restroom, so they didn't pay attention.

Huang Gan also didn't know what Li Xuewu wanted to do; why pull him along just to go to the restroom? This hell wasn't a kindergarten.

But when he followed Li Xuewu to the empty three-person seat in front, he saw Li Xuewu suddenly pull him down to sit.

"What are you doing?"

Huang Gan looked at the homeroom teacher sitting in front and asked Li Xuewu in a low voice.

Seeming to hear the sound from behind, Liu Zheng turned his head to look back. Seeing nothing was wrong, he turned back.

Watching Liu Zheng turn his head, Li Xuewu pushed Huang Gan toward the opposite seat.

"Holy shit?"

Huang Gan was pushed by Li Xuewu to sit opposite, watching helplessly as Li Xuewu placed his cotton hat on the seat and then lay directly on the three-person chair.

"Doesn't this go against the rules?"

Huang Gan turned his head to look at the homeroom teacher in front and reminded Li Xuewu in a low voice.

But Li Xuewu didn't pay any attention, turned his body, and faced the inside.

"Can you even do this?"

Huang Gan stared at the homeroom teacher for more than ten minutes, watching Li Xuewu's snoring start, and still didn't see the homeroom teacher come over to say anything.

Seeing Li Xuewu sleeping soundly, Huang Gan also took off his hat and lay down along the seat.

Before long, the trainees of the training class heard snoring starting from the front seats.

If it were just Li Xuewu, it wouldn't be much, but this hell, adding a Huang Gan, the snoring of these two was even out of sync.

It was like a stove boiling water.

The trainees nearby passed on who was making the noise to those behind. Damn, the whole train knew about this thing Li Xuewu and Huang Gan were doing.

The emergency assembly before departure, the tense scene of packing luggage, the truck to the platform, the train waiting, the homeroom teacher's gloomy face.

All the tense atmosphere was shattered by these two old foxes. This hell is an emergency mission, alright? How can you two actually sleep?

Just when all the classmates were thinking about what would happen, snoring actually sounded from the front of the train.

And Liu Zheng was also attracted by the sound of these two old foxes. He got up and walked over to take a look, seeing that Li Xuewu and the other were already asleep.

Although his face was bewildered, his heart still gave these two who were either heartless or big-hearted a great deal of tolerance.

The trainees in the back half of the train nervously watched the homeroom teacher, thinking Liu Zheng would be furious and execute these two rebellious trainees on the spot.

"There are still more than two hours until the capital. There are still seats in the front. Those who are sleepy can come to the front to rest."

As he spoke, he had already turned and returned to the front seat.

This hell works too?!!!

The trainees in the back were stunned. Shouldn't he be killing one to warn a hundred, to serve as a warning to others?

Wang Zheng had long envied the treatment of these two. As soon as the homeroom teacher finished speaking, she had already taken steps and ran to the front.

She didn't go far, chose a three-person seat right next to Li Xuewu's seat, mimicked Li Xuewu, took off her cotton hat, and lay down to sleep directly.

Seeing that even a female comrade like Wang Zheng wasn't afraid, what was there for everyone else to be afraid of? First come, first served.

By the time Liu Zheng turned his head again, there was basically no one sitting in the carriage.

Even if they didn't grab a three-person seat, lying on a two-person seat was enough to sleep.

Regarding Li Xuewu, who took the "leading role," Liu Zheng didn't know if this kid was truly calm and composed or ignorant and fearless.

The train ground along the tracks, passed the boundary sign, and entered the territory of the capital.

Don't know which switch point made a "clatter," Li Xuewu raised his head to look out the window; it was still a vast expanse of white.

He stretched, sat up from the rock-hard seat, looked back and forth, and saw that a large area of the carriage had already collapsed.

It wasn't just the male trainees snoring; the hardship of the classes these past few days meant even the female trainees had started snoring.

Looking at Huang Gan, who was still sleeping opposite, Li Xuewu touched his stomach.

Because of the emergency assembly, he hadn't eaten lunch yet. Checking his watch, it was already past two in the afternoon.

The feeling of hunger was truly uncomfortable. Looking left and right, Li Xuewu grabbed a handful of dried small fish from the bag under his seat.

"Sss."

The chewy and delicious dried small fish entered his mouth, full of fresh fragrance.

Li Xuewu was eating with great relish when suddenly a voice came from behind.

"What are you eating? Is it good?"

Li Xuewu turned his head suddenly and saw it was Deputy Class Monitor Wang Xiaoqin.

Don't look at this big sister's name being elegant; she was the kind of person who could hold a cigarette and chat with men like Li Xuewu.

Seeing Wang Dajie looking like a greedy cat wanting to eat dried small fish, how could Li Xuewu be embarrassed to eat by himself?

"Hehe, that, it's dried small fish given by a friend. Would you like to try some?"

"Then I won't be polite."

As she spoke, she had already bypassed the seat, came to Li Xuewu's side, grabbed a handful from the bag under the seat, and then ran back.

Nothing is feared more than excess. When Li Xuewu was hiding in the front eating by himself, it was nothing.

But Wang Zheng was awake now, and seeing Li Xuewu eating there, she also came over to eat.

Li Xuewu looked at Wang Zheng, who was sending them into her mouth one by one, and couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have your own? Why aren't you eating yours?"

Wang Zheng stared and said righteously, "I'm saving mine to eat slowly when I get home. Anyway, since you've already started eating, it's not going to be saved."

This really wasn't wrong. Starting from Wang Dajie, those sitting nearby who had a decent relationship with Li Xuewu all came over to grab a handful.

Everyone was actually hungry now. If no one was eating, they could still quench their thirst by looking at plums, thinking about eating at night.

But this hell, the fishy smell drifting from the front of the carriage really made these people's saliva flow straight into their throats.

The commotion of everyone coming to ask Li Xuewu for dried small fish woke up Huang Gan opposite. Seeing Wang Zheng eating with relish, this guy also grabbed some to eat.

Li Xuewu ate for a while and couldn't eat anymore; eating too much of this stuff also made him feel nauseous.

"Hey, eat less, it's all going to be eaten up."

Huang Gan looked at Li Xuewu and said dissatisfiedly, "So what if I eat some? We're all classmates. Look at how stingy you are, hehe."

As he spoke, he even grabbed a handful from the bag and handed it to the Study Committee member Wei Qing who had come over.

Li Xuewu touched his face, looked at Huang Gan, who was stuffing his face and giving it away, and reminded him in a low voice, "Give less, it's almost gone."

Huang Gan made a "tch" sound, then raised his eyebrows while putting dried small fish into his mouth, and said, "Don't be so stingy. It's just a little bit of dried fish. I'll treat you to fish when we get back, good fish."

As he spoke, he grabbed another handful, and Wang Zheng, sitting next to Li Xuewu, also grabbed a handful.

And watching the bottom of the bag reveal the luggage bag behind it, Huang Gan's hand holding the bag paused, then he pulled the bag out.

Huang Gan looked at the luggage under the seat in disbelief, then raised his head to look at Li Xuewu.

"This is mine?"

"Yeah."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "My luggage is still in its original position. Don't you know that?"

"So what I was eating just now was mine?"

Li Xuewu had an expression of "don't you know it already" and said to Huang Gan, whose eyes were wide open, "I advised you, eat less, but you didn't listen."

"So what everyone was eating was also mine?"

Huang Gan was dumbfounded now, looking at the few dried small fish left at the bottom of the bag, looking at Li Xuewu with tears in his eyes, biting his teeth and whispering:

"Why didn't you stop me just now?"

"Don't be ungrateful when you say that. Think about it, did I stop you or not?"

Li Xuewu said innocently, "But didn't you say we're all classmates, and we can't be too stingy?"

"I hell..."

Huang Gan couldn't win against Li Xuewu, so he looked at Wang Zheng, who was holding the dried small fish, as if he intended to grab them back.

Wang Zheng understood now too. So Li Xuewu had been eating her second brother's bag the whole time.

"This isn't yours either. Why did you manage me just now? I thought it was yours!"

Li Xuewu turned to look at Wang Zheng and said, "It's precisely because it wasn't mine that I asked you that!"

"Second brother..."

Before Wang Zheng could speak, Huang Gan said with a wicked smile, "It's fine, don't you still have another bag? You don't have to give it all to me; just half a bag for your sister-in-law is enough."

"I..."

Wang Zheng looked at the dried small fish in her hand, raised her head, and said to Huang Gan, "Second brother, actually I can still spit them out..."

"You dare!"

Huang Gan poured out all the dried small fish in the bag, then put them into his mouth one by one, savoring the final taste.

Wang Zheng was holding the dried small fish, not knowing whether to eat them or not. This hell, eating a few mouthfuls meant losing half a bag.

Just after this carriage full of fishy smell arrived at the Beijing Station, the doors of the other carriages didn't open immediately, but the door of the last carriage was opened first.

Li Xuewu and the others carried their luggage off the train and jumped directly onto the bus that had come to the platform to pick people up.

By the time the bus carrying Li Xuewu's group started moving, the train doors were opened by the train attendant, letting other passengers off.

Don't know what kind of people were sitting on this train; they couldn't see the situation of Li Xuewu and the others from the window, and the passengers on and off the train were guessing in their hearts.

Actually, it wasn't any mysterious mission; it was just to reduce time and facilitate forming the team.

The railway side also thought, this train had already waited, so it didn't matter if the doors opened a minute or two later.

Looking at the bus route, the trainees on the bus knew they were heading to the city center.

By the time they reached Qianmen East Street, everyone thought they were going to the Municipal Bureau, but unexpectedly, the vehicle didn't stop at all when passing the Municipal Bureau entrance.

Until they passed Zhengyang Sect, turned into the west side road of the square, and entered Xijiaoxiang, stopping at the Great Hall Hotel.

Everyone then suddenly realized that the destination of this trip was actually here.

But then another question arose: what did this emergency have to do with the Great Hall?

No matter how urgent, could this place be urgent?

As soon as they got off the bus, everyone was arranged into the first floor of the east side hotel.

They weren't told how to arrange things; they were just given rooms first, and then told to put down their luggage.

They weren't given time to organize their luggage before they were notified to go to the conference room in front for a meeting.

By the time Li Xuewu and the others arrived, some people were already sitting in the front seats.

After the trainees quickly took their seats, several people went up to the podium.

Li Xuewu didn't recognize who these people were, but Huang Gan, who was beside him, gritted his teeth and introduced to Li Xuewu who was on the stage in a low voice.

With this introduction, Li Xuewu did indeed see the world.

There wasn't a single simple person on that stage; the one on the very edge was at the bureau level.

Only one person among these people made a statement. Huang Gan said his surname was Yu, a deputy ministerial level.

The speech wasn't long-winded; it only mentioned the importance attached by the superiors, the severity of the situation, and the reason for using this batch of trainees.

Li Xuewu didn't hear or see how much importance was attached, and Li Xuewu didn't have a personal experience of the severity of the situation.

But he did understand the reason for calling them back.

That was because this batch of training trainees were deputy personnel in relevant positions, all responsible for the actual business of relevant departments.

Originally, they wanted to transfer case-handling personnel to participate, but don't know who thought of this batch of grassroots business backbones still training in Tianjin.

Transferring generals is better than transferring soldiers, so they urgently transferred Li Xuewu and these backbones back.

Finally, it was emphasized that the existing case-handling personnel should cooperate with the supplemented trainees to solve the case as soon as possible.

After Yu Huaiyou finished speaking, he left the venue, and the other big shots and experts also left. ===== CHAPTER 352 =====
