Film and Television: I, Xu Lei, won over Chen Shuting

Page 119

Xu Lei said, "If only that were true. You don't understand. You need to have some political awareness, okay?"

'I don't understand these things. My only focus is on solving the case; I can't be bothered with anything else.'

Xu Lei sighed and said, "Alright, I'll tell you. That food street in Jingzhou was bait I threw out. Guess what I saw?"

"What?!"

Xu Lei said, "Of the 78 food stalls on the food street, not a single one was acquired through bidding. In other words, all 78 stalls on the food street are owned by people with connections."

An Xin was stunned.

“Shocked, right? Very well, let me show you some more data. I asked Chen Shuting to prepare donations to build a school specifically for the children of migrant workers. You know, the documents haven’t been approved yet.”

"Let me tell you something else. I visited many residents, talked a lot with the street sweepers, and also talked to the construction workers. Their wages are pitifully low."

Xu Lei pointed to the people on the roadside who were wearing clothes and taking pictures with their phones.

"Look, the spearhead has already appeared."

An Xin looked at the roadside, where countless people were taking pictures, while the people who were actually doing the work were waiting on the side.

After these people finished taking photos, they returned the equipment to the people who were actually doing the work.

An Xin pondered silently for a moment, then said, "I think I understand what you mean."

Meanwhile, back at school, Yu Zui groggily woke up to hear the fat guy in his dorm shouting.

"Yu Zui, get up quickly, the leader is here today."

"Come on, come on. Look how nervous you are. It's not a big deal."

"No, I'm here for an audit. Don't you want to perform?"

"What a load of rubbish! Do you even have anyone at home? You don't have anyone at home, so what's the use of your good performance? Go to sleep and we'll talk about it later. Anyway, I've already made up my mind. When the time comes, I'll go to the police station in my hometown, work at 053, my family will look good, and I'll have a peaceful life here, right?"

The fat man thought about it carefully and realized that it really made sense.

"However, the counselor's point is that if we don't go now, we can forget about graduating. You probably won't even be able to get into the police station."

Depend on.,

Why didn't you say so sooner?

Yu Zui quickly packed his clothes and ran out with the fat man.

Soon, the classroom was filled with people, who were whispering and discussing, exchanging information and searching for answers.

Unfortunately, there was no answer.

The fat man said, "The higher-ups are very concerned about our basketball matter. They said that if we can't achieve any results in the special training and selection process this time, we'll probably be dealt with. Working for the police station? That's just a pipe dream. Go back to farming."

Yu Zui chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, my dad beat me up with a stick to get me to come to the police academy. If I don't come, it doesn't matter to me. At worst, I'll just go into business. What else can I do?"

Just then, a voice appeared behind Yu Zui and asked, "How about you come work for me? I have money, what do you say?"

Yu Zui was startled, turned around, and said, "Who...who are you?"

The fat man instantly recognized her and said, "You're Xu Lei?"

"You're so smart, you recognize me."

"Who doesn't know you? How could we not know you? By the way, what are you doing at our school?"

Xu Lei said, "Just joining in the fun. An Xin is here to help out, and I've been bored lately. I heard this is a good opportunity, so I came. Also, I donated one million to your police force, which is how I got a spot to come along."

Yu Zui said, "You're really rich, but be careful, your money might end up in someone else's pocket."

"Don't worry about that, it's a small matter. My channels are very legitimate, and others can't get them. By the way, you guys seem pretty down. What's wrong?"

Yu Zui said, "It's nothing, there's no point in telling you."

"Perhaps I can help you?"

The fat man said, "Really?"

Xu Lei said, "Really, why would I lie to you? I think you two are a good match, and you should be good police officers. I like good police officers and good people the most."

Pfft, hahaha.

The fat man almost burst out laughing, while on the other side, Yu Zui said, "I'm really curious now about how you made your fortune."

"I trust my judgment when it comes to beautiful women."

At this moment, Xu Pingqiu walked in, accompanied by Lin Jingyu.

An Xin followed behind (bhbj), her eyes sweeping over the crowd below.

Soon, they noticed Xu Lei's position. Xu Lei was sitting behind Yu Zui, not saying a word, keeping a low profile.

"This selection process is an opportunity for you to directly enter a special unit. I hope you can work hard and seize this opportunity instead of letting it slip through your fingers."

Everyone nodded.

"I've heard that there was a fight between a few people before, and it hasn't been dealt with yet. Since you guys have so much energy, then show me what you're capable of. Don't be so capable of dealing with your own people but not criminals. I hate people like that the most. If you pass the test, I'll let it go. If you don't pass, we'll handle it all according to the normal procedures."

Yu Zui looked on in surprise, then turned his head away.

"How was my work? Pretty impressive, right?"

Yu Zui said, "You investigated us, and you investigated us before you even came to the school, didn't you?"

Xu Lei was stunned for a moment.

"continue."

"The person you're investigating is me? That doesn't make sense. You shouldn't be investigating me."

Xu Lei stood up, stretched, and said, "Give it your all. I believe in you. I told you, my intuition was right."

............................

Xu Lei chose Yu Zui because only someone like him was suitable for action.

The TV series "Yu Zui" depicts a different kind of policeman. Yu Zui is a cunning person. To put it bluntly, anyone would be tempted by money.

But every time, when faced with a choice, Yu Zui would back down and refuse to make a decision.

Because he knew what he should do most. To put it bluntly, a sense of honor was the most authentic manifestation of Yu Zui.

Moreover, Xu Lei's personality is best suited for fighting criminals, because Yu Zui is ruthless enough, and you have to be ruthless when dealing with criminals.

Xu Lei prepared two lines of attack. The first line was to exert pressure on Sha Ruijin.

People under pressure will temporarily stop and not dare to be greedy, but over time, they will not be able to resist because they need money.

They need status, power, and connections.

Those who give gifts need these people to accept them; these people need to take what they've given, otherwise they won't dare to do anything.

Xu Lei mentioned a frightening phenomenon in Jingzhou.

I randomly asked someone on the street, "If you need to take care of something, what should you do?"

This person subconsciously felt that they should buy something or slip some money to the seller.

The group went to the stadium.

Everyone changed into their training clothes, preparing for the combat test.

The selection process consists of three rounds, the first of which is a combat sport.

Xu Lei glanced at the list and said, "Xie Bing and Yu Zui can fight it out."

Xu Pingqiu looked at Xu Lei, who said, "Is it not allowed?"

Soon, Yu Zui and Xie Bing took to the stage.

They glanced at each other and immediately started fighting, initially using standard boxing techniques.

Then it stopped there; it became a street brawl.

To put it bluntly, they'll use any dirty trick they can think of.

The onlookers were all sighing in disbelief; these two were risking their lives.

An Xin, standing to the side, touched her nose and said, "Both of them are promising talents."

Lin Jingyu asked, "Can't something happen?"

"Something happened: ? This is the best way. In real life, when you encounter someone, there aren't that many tricks and tactics. They just go straight for the kill. Anything around you can be a weapon. Strike wherever you are vulnerable. Fighting, grappling, and control are just ways to train your body. When it really comes to a life-or-death struggle, it's all about instinct."

Xu Lei watched from the side. Soon, Yu Zui pressed Xie Bing down.

The group went up to try and break up the fight, but An Xin stopped them, saying, "It's a fight, nobody else should interfere."

Xie Bing said, "Not bad, Yu Zui, you've been hiding your true strength. I didn't expect you to be so good at fighting."

"You're not bad either, pretty boy."

One person, one leg; then the two of them covered their lower bodies and knelt on the ring.

As everyone laughed heartily, Xu Pingqiu said directly, "Alright, stop now, take a rest. Do you need to see a doctor?"

They both shook their heads, but still went to the side and sat down.

Xu Lei leaned closer to Yu Zui, handed him a bottle of water, and said, "Your moves are still a bit lacking. I bet you fifty yuan. You win."

"Who did it?"

"Hey bro, Fatty."

Yu Zui glared fiercely at the fat man, who immediately hid behind the crowd.

Yu Zui breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Lei gave him a cigarette.

"Tell me what's going on. You're definitely not here for anything good."

"Yes, we need you to go undercover."

Yu Zui said, "An undercover agent? What would I get in return?"

"You'll get a lot, right? As long as you complete your work, I'll personally give you many rewards—a job, your house, a car, and so on."

Yu Zui silently pondered for a moment, then said, "I also need to go through the assessment, right?"

Xu Lei nodded and said, "Yes, the assessment has always been ongoing. In fact, I've been observing you all along."

"Aren't you worried that I'm deliberately putting on an act?"

"Don't worry, because you know what the best way is."

Yu Zui said quietly, "Thank you for trusting me so much."

"It's alright. I need someone to go undercover, but honestly, those people aren't enough; they're too much like cops."

Yu Zui was speechless and said, "The way you're saying that sounds like you're insulting me."

Then, the third round of testing was conducted, which consisted of reasoning questions.

In the classroom, Xu Pingqiu gave everyone a case and asked each person to analyze it, write down their analysis, and submit it.

Then came the physical fitness test, which included everything from the initial long-distance run to other tests.

Finally, when Xu Pingqiu announced the personnel, he read out the names of eleven people.

Xu Lei said quietly, "How about this, since there are eleven people, but I can only take ten, let's send one out. You guys figure out who should step down?"

Almost instantly, Yu Zui stepped forward and said, "I withdraw."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

He looked at Xu Lei.

"I quit, or something like that. I don't think I'm suited to be a police officer."

Seeing Xu Lei's attitude, Xu Pingqiu looked at Xu Lei very seriously.

Xu Lei said, "I was just kidding. This is based on the scores. Okay, you guys take a break. We'll tell you the mission tomorrow."

As everyone dispersed, Xu Lei said, "Yu Zui, let's have dinner and drinks together, are you in?"

"If you're treating, I'll go."

"no problem."

Inside the small restaurant, Xu Lei and Yu Zui gathered together, with two girls, Lin Jingyu and An Jialu, sitting at the table.

Xu Lei said, "How about that, Yu Zui? I'm pretty generous, aren't I? I specially invited your goddess here."
