His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1467  I, Junjun

"That was the Chief\'s instructions. We just need to obey."

"But we\'ve been waiting here for so long."

They all stopped because one of their comrades was reporting something through their radio. It seemed that they sighted a group of armed men fleeing at the other side of the mountain. They weren\'t sure if those armed men had something to do with the kidnapping case, but as members of the police special force, they just couldn\'t let them go.

Their captain made a quick decision and split their group into two. One would chase the armed men while the other half would remain waiting for the child.

Some of the officers who were assigned to continue waiting were envious of the ones assigned to give chase. Waiting on standby like this was too boring. They were a special police force and yet they were commanded to wait like jilted wives.

CEO Jin Liwei assured them that his hired experts had already rescued the child and would deliver the child to them.

"Why don\'t CEO Jin\'s hired experts deliver the child directly to their family?" one of the newest recruits asked.

His comrade glanced at him as if he just asked a dumb question. "Wealthy people like CEO Jin have the money and power to hire the best experts. If those experts aren\'t yet employed by our state, then that means that their backgrounds aren\'t clean enough. Then they could only be hired privately."

"Meaning?"

The comrade sighed, shaking his head that this recruit might be indeed a little dumber than he expected. "It means that the experts CEO Jin hired this time might have criminal backgrounds. They can only operate in the shadows. That\'s why we\'re being used as a front to make the child\'s rescue more legitimate. Remember that CEO Jin\'s wife and brother are famous celebrities. They need to keep their reputations clean."

The recruit\'s eyes widened in shock. "But that\'s…that\'s cheating!"

The comrade rolled his eyes. "Just obey the Chief\'s command. Once the child is delivered to us later, our special forces will be the ones to receive the credit."

"But…but still…that doesn\'t feel right. If CEO Jin is hiring criminals, then isn\'t that a crime, too? Shouldn\'t we arrest him?"

The older officer gave the recruit a side-eye. "Do you have evidence? We can\'t just arrest someone like CEO Jin without a valid reason. Besides, I\'m just guessing. It\'s not a certainty."

Then he leaned closer to the younger man, looked around, and whispered. "And even if we\'re in the police force, my advice to you is to not look at the world in plain black and white. Even the highest leaders in our nation-state tolerate some people with criminal backgrounds as long as they can benefit our country and not endanger our sovereignty. It\'s a symbiotic relationship. We give them some freedom to do their thing while they assist us in the shadows with tasks that we can\'t legally do because of our positions\' restrictions."

The recruit\'s expression was a sight to see. It looked like he just opened a new world that he never knew existed.

The older officer sighed and patted the younger man\'s shoulder. "I know what you\'re feeling. I was the same way before. You just have to learn how to focus on the things that matter. As long as we do our job properly and protect the citizens, then that\'s all that matters."

The recruit contemplated his comrade\'s words while waiting for new updates.

Another report came in from the other team who gave chase to the armed men on the other side of the mountain.

"What happened?" the recruit asked.

The older officer shared what he heard. "They\'re saying it\'s weird because it appears that the armed men are actually two groups. A second group of armed men are chasing another group of armed men. When the second group realized that our special force comrades were chasing them, they actually threw two members of the other group that they captured to us."

"What?! Something like that happened?" The recruit was bewildered.

"Yeah. It\'s as if they\'re saying, \'Here\'s a couple of treats, so don\'t bother us anymore\'. Of course, our comrades continued chasing, but it seems that both groups were extremely skilled and managed to throw our comrades off their tails. Their skill levels may be even higher than ours."

The recruit was even more shocked. "Even higher than ours?!"

The older officer gave him another side eye. "Don\'t be too conceited and never be complacent. We might be the best of the best among the police, but outside the force, there will always be people who are better than us. That\'s why our Chief always tells us to strive to become a bit better each day. We must serve and protect the people, and that\'s what we just need to remember. Always."

The younger officer nodded his head.

Then they stood in attention when their comrades at the front pointed their guns at the mountain. The recruit and the older officer all followed suit. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was dark.

Since this was a mountain road, although cemented, there were no bright streetlights.

Even they, the special police force, couldn\'t help but have goosebumps in a place like this.

"Who\'s there?!"

Then they heard a soft cry like the soft mew of a kitten.

"Junjun! I, Junjun!"

A child limped out of the dark mountain trees with his bandaged little arms raised high in surrender. He was crying pitifully, as he looked at them while trembling.

"It\'s the child!"

"Is he alone?!"

"Yes, it looks like he\'s alone."

"What are you all waiting for?! Go get the child quickly!"

Everyone moved and took care of Little Jun.

Finally, they could feel useful after waiting for many hours.
