Chapter 814: Chapter 813: Layout Chapter 814: Chapter 813: Layout “I have something to tell you,” Huo Beijiang’s expression became serious as his slightly narrowed eyes gleamed with a faint chill.
“Speak!” After so many years of brotherhood, they still had a good understanding of each other.
“Have you ever thought about returning to Imperial City?”
Ying Jiuming was taken aback, not expecting this to be what Huo Beijiang wanted to discuss, and fell silent for quite a while before answering, “After all, I’ve already left Imperial City, why go back?”
He was nothing more than a discarded piece, no need to go back and be an eyesore.
“I remember when you graduated from university, you wanted to stay with the Imperial City Police Department.”
Among all the cities in the country, if you were to say which police force was the most formidable, it would definitely be the Imperial City Police Department.
That place amassed many elites. Just the Criminal Police division was divided into nine groups, each group’s scale not smaller than a municipal bureau’s criminal police force.
Anyone with ambition wanted to stay with the Imperial City Police Department, as that was also where promotions came fastest.
“Do you still remember what you said back in college? The Imperial City Police Department had begun nationwide trial operations. They detailed the police department’s affairs and divided them into specialized units responsible for criminal cases–the Criminal Investigation Unit, Economic Investigation Unit, and the Narcotics Enforcement Team.”
Ying Jiuming’s eyes lit up as he listened; during his college years, what he most wanted to do was to catch psychopathic killers and vicious drug lords.
He had never imagined the Imperial City Police Department would be so segmented.
“I’ve made up my mind about the Narcotics Enforcement Team,” Ying Jiuming decided firmly.
Huo Beijiang gave him a glance, “Dream on, you won’t get into the Narcotics Team, but I have secured a position for you as team leader of a Criminal Investigation Unit. Come back to Imperial City!”
This idea came to him last night after his wife’s visit, prompting him to change his earlier decision.
While waiting in the yard for Nan Fei that morning, he had made a call to Ke Wei to handle the matter.
Even for his wife’s sake, he couldn’t personally kill Leng Peixi to avenge Yuan Xueshan. Sending her to prison was the only option, but the power and influence of the Leng Family were not to be underestimated, with means both ruthless and vile.
It wouldn’t be easy without someone on the inside.
Huo Beijiang patted Ying Jiuming’s shoulder, speaking earnestly, “I need your help, and you should also reclaim everything that belongs to you.”
“Alright! I understand.” Ying Jiuming’s expression was solemn. He was a born policeman, full of integrity and resolute in his gaze.
Huo Beijiang had stayed in Qi Li Town for five days, splitting his time between the police station and his home.
The nearby neighbors, fearing the death that had occurred in his home, were too frightened to approach.
But this did not bother him at all.
From the moment he enlisted, he had been on the edge of life and death. As a special forces soldier taking on the most dangerous missions, he had long since lost count of how many people had died by his hand.
So Huo Beijiang stayed in his family home.
He didn’t understand the so-called psychological barriers that others spoke of, the ones making people desperately want to move away from a house where someone had died, taking whole families with them.
Exiting and entering, the unspoken glances from the neighbors made his brow furrow and filled him with inexplicable disgust.
Huo Beijiang, who had never done any household chores growing up, cleaned the whole house inside and out; after this, his returns would become far too rare.
The Huo Family’s house didn’t need to remain idle ; if left uninhabited for too long, it would only fall into disrepair.
Before leaving, Huo Beijiang made a trip to the town government office.
Seeing him arrive, the mayor hurried out of his office. “Beijiang, you’re here? Is there something you need?”
