Chapter 383: Chapter 270: Turning Point_2"Assigned on close-approach tasks at the age of sixteen!" "There was really no other way at the time." "What happened afterward?" "He was injured during that operation, and our department awarded him a third-level merit. Since the evaluation had to wait until the case was closed, by the time the orders were issued, he had already transferred to the East Sea Shipping Public Security Bureau and missed the commendation ceremony." Director Yang nodded and added with a smile, "Later, due to his outstanding performance and significant achievements during his exchange at the onboard police team of the Marine Police Bureau, he was awarded another third-level merit by the Ministry of Transport Police. By the time the orders were issued, he was aboard a foreign merchant ship with the Marine Bureau’s crew, abroad, and once again missed the commendation ceremony." Director Dong came to a realization and turned back to Secretary Wang of the Linghai Political and Legal Committee and Vice Chairman Li of the Political Consultative Conference, commenting sentimentally, "Director Yang is right, missing the commendation ceremony is also a fine tradition of the Water Police Squadron!" Everyone praised the junior, and Han Xiangning was overjoyed, quickly saying, "Leaders, please this way..." After a tour upstairs and downstairs, and a look at 001, the leaders, still unsatisfied, came to the spacious "old antique" and instinctively lined up according to the seniority of their positions. Shi Shengyong from Linghai Police Bureau was in charge here, arranging the lineup and asking for permission to report. "Please stand at ease." "Yes!" After issuing the commands, Director Yang introduced the leaders standing in the cold wind and then asked Director Dong to announce the orders. Director Dong stepped forward, cleared his throat, and, with emphasis and pauses, read from the document: "Linghai City Police Bureau: In recent years, your frontier Yanjiang Police Station, now the Water Police Squadron of the Four Factory Police Station, has been proactive and industrious based on the realities of your jurisdiction. You have achieved notable results in case handling, security management, special regulation, security protection, assisting departments like Port Supervision, Fishery Administration, Customs in law enforcement, firefighting rescue, disaster relief, and team management. The squadron, facing new situations in security management work, has actively collaborated with the Changhang navigation police in carrying out severe crackdowns on water and gun control and explosive handling operations. Since 1988, you have solved 185 criminal cases, handled 941 various public security cases, dealt with over two thousand violators, and maintained zero illegal and disciplinary actions in the team for many consecutive years. Awarded third-level merit three times collectively, recognized as a national advanced collective in the special operations against bicycle theft, advanced unit in the operation against illegal eel fry fishing... renowned as the ’First Post of the Yangtze River’! In recognition of the advancements and to promote righteousness, according to the relevant regulations of the ’People’s Police Award Command of the Public Security Organs’, after review, it is decided to award the Water Police Squadron of the Four Factory Police Station of Linghai City Police Bureau a collective second-class merit, along with a certificate and a bonus." This is the Provincial Department’s summary and affirmation of the past years’ work achievements of the former Yanjiang Police Station, now the Water Police Squadron. Applause erupted, long-lasting and enthusiastic. Chairman Li, Liu Xinmin, Jiang Xiaojun, and others clapped their hands, instinctively looking towards the river, simultaneously imagining that if Xu Sanye were watching from heaven, he would definitely come back to participate in the commendation ceremony, perhaps watching from nearby. Shi Shengyong steadied his mind and represented the Water Police Squadron to receive the award certificate on stage. As for the bonus, it would need to wait until the Provincial Department disbursed it to the City Bureau, and then the City Bureau to Linghai Police Bureau. Director Dong handed the award certificate to Shi Shengyong, waiting for the accompanying publicity police to finish taking photos, then announced the Provincial Department’s orders to commend Han Yu and others. "...Comrades Han Yu, Zhu Baogen, and Liang Xiaoyu, considering the unit as family, while combatting various illegal and criminal activities on water, assisted departments like Port Supervision, Fishery Administration, Customs in law enforcement, assisted the local party committees and governments in typhoon prevention and flood fighting, winning tough battles one after another, and successfully completed various tasks assigned by superiors. In July 1994, during a mission driving the Law Enforcement Rescue Boat to assist Port Supervision in rescuing an anchored vessel, they discovered a foreign merchant ship that had entered the Yangtze River without permission, decisively and resolutely intercepted it, maintained water traffic safety, and defended national sovereignty! The three comrades, committed to their duties, robustly fought, continuously battled, and selflessly dedicated, showcasing the competent qualities, excellent style, and strong fighting spirit of Jiangnan Police. To commend the advancements and inspire morale, it is specially ordered to award Comrade Han Yu of the Water Police Squadron of Four Factory Police Station a personal second-class merit, and auxiliary police Zhu Baogen and Liang Xiaoyu of the Water Police Squadron of Four Factory Police Station personal third-level merits, issuing medals, certificates, and bonuses..." Auxiliary police can also earn commendations! Xiao Yu was overwhelmingly excited, and even Zhu Baogen, who had seen so many dead people, was inspired. Han Xiangning was even happier than them, thinking that her junior had now achieved both second and third-class merits, wondering when he could earn a first-class merit. Seeing Director Yang and Political Commissioner Sun signaling from the front, she suddenly realized, quickly tugging at Xiao Yu’s sleeve, bringing Xiao Yu and Zhu Baogen forward to salute and shake hands with the leaders. Receiving the medals and certificates, they took a group photo with the leaders. As for the bonus, it would probably take a few months to receive. Next was the flag-raising. On the "water platform" with howling cold wind and swirling snow, facing the surging river waters during the flag-raising ceremony, although very cold, there was a boldness akin to reviewing troops on the battlefield. Until now, everyone truly realized the good intentions of the City Bureau leaders because only by doing so can it be shown how hard-won the reputation of "First Post of the Yangtze River" is. Normally, Secretary Wang of the Linghai Political and Legal Committee and Director Yang would say a few words, but both Secretary Wang and Director Yang did not speak, and in this situation, there was no need to say more. After raising the flag, the leaders dusted the snow off their bodies and encouraged Old Zhu and Xiao Yu before heading back. Shi Shengyong followed Director Yang and Political Commissioner Sun to send several leaders from the City Bureau and Linghai City ashore. Just as he was about to help Director Yang and Political Commissioner Sun into their vehicles, they surprisingly led everyone back to the dunship. "Director Yang, you all go have some tea first, I’ll ask Old Qian to prepare dinner." "Don’t fuss, just sit with us for a while." "Director Yang, is there something on your mind?" Director Yang rolled up his sleeves to check the time on his watch and casually said, "Nothing in particular, just chatting." Political Commissioner Sun expressionlessly asked, "Where’s Li Shichang? Why haven’t I seen him?" Shi Shengyong hurriedly replied, "He’s in the duty room downstairs." To Shi Shengyong’s disbelief, Political Commissioner Sun suddenly turned and said, "Old Ding, Old Zhang, Director Yang and I don’t need you by our side, go down and chat with Li Shichang. As for others participating in the commendation ceremony, every single one remains on the dunship on standby, no leaving without permission." "Yes!" Old Ding and Old Zhang were also shocked, secretly thinking this must be somehow related to Salted Fish’s sudden disappearance, and hurriedly went downstairs. Shi Shengyong was dumbfounded for a while before nervously asking, "Director Yang, Commissioner, what’s wrong with Li Shichang." "Think about what’s wrong with him, think about yourself instead." "What’s wrong with me?" Political Commissioner Sun, frustrated, glared at him and coldly said, "You’ve been working for so many years, you are an experienced comrade, you should understand the principle of ’things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme.’ But you, in dealing with the Four Factory Public Security Department issue, only knew about cracking down and even suppressing without considering possible repercussions!" Shi Shengyong was utterly confused and was about to ask what was going on when Director Yang took out a cellphone and casually placed it on the conference table, saying, "We should get a message soon, let’s talk about it when we do." "That’s fine." Political Commissioner Sun lit a cigarette and said nothing more. Upon receiving an order from Old Zhang, Xiao Yu and Zhu Baogen guarded the floating bridge together in the hallway. The policemen and auxiliary police from the Four Factory Police Station sensed something was off, crowding into a few duty rooms on the first floor, whispering and murmuring to each other. Han Xiangning, blocked and unable to leave, pointed at Xiao Yu who had just earned third-level merit and then turned hostile, gritting her teeth: "What exactly do you mean, I need to go back on duty, my car is waiting for me onshore!" "Sister Ningning, this is an order from the police leadership, please don’t make this difficult for me." "An order from the police leadership?" "If you don’t believe me, you can ask Uncle Zhang, Uncle Ding, or go upstairs and ask Director Yang and Commissioner Sun." "I’m not from your police department, where I go doesn’t need to be reported to your police leaders." "You cannot leave without permission." Faced with such obstinacy, Han Xiangning scornfully laughed, turned back, looked at the supervision boat moored next to the dunship, and said, "So you won’t let me go ashore by car, then I can take a boat back." Xiao Yu unthinkingly replied, "You can’t go by boat either!" "You’re really picking a fight with me? I will take the boat, let’s see who dares to stop me." As soon as Han Xiangning finished speaking, Old Ding came over with a smile, "I said police officers and auxiliary police, I did not mean Ningning, Ningning can go." Xiao Yu was even more frustrated than Han Xiangning and turned to say, "Uncle Ding, you just said that all those attending the ceremony can’t leave, not just police officers and auxiliary police." "Alright, alright, I wasn’t clear enough earlier." "Sister Ningning, did you hear that? It’s not my fault, Uncle Ding wasn’t clear, don’t be mad at me."
