South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 122 Reward, another step up

The next afternoon, in Villa No. 1, Xishan Compound, in the western suburbs of Kyoto.

Although it is called a villa, there is actually more than one villa here. There is also a group of small bungalows next to it. The whole place covers a large area and there is a big yard. The interior is beautifully decorated, very grand and not luxurious.

On the first floor of the villa, a man in his sixties was lying on a chair near the window. This man was Zhou Zhennan.

"Dad! Dad!" At this time, a woman wearing a type 7 or 8 female military uniform hurriedly walked into the room.

The woman was about thirty years old, wearing a military cap, had short hair, a pair of black high heels, a pair of glasses, and light makeup. She had a particularly soft and sweet look that was unique to a woman.

"Oh, Xiaobai is back!" Old Zhou sat up with a smile when he saw the person coming.

"Dad! What happened? I heard that you were kidnapped by bandits!" Xiaobai walked to Mr. Zhou with a concerned look on his face.

"Oh, it's okay. I, your dad, have seen all kinds of storms. They're just small robbers. Look, I'm fine!" Old Zhou said with a smile as he turned around.

"Dad! You are not young anymore. Why don't you bring more people with you wherever you go? You took Xiao Wu alone to Harbin to visit old friends. It makes me so worried!" Xiaobai frowned, his tone full of concern.

"Yes, yes, Dad got it. Next time I'll take it out with a group, okay?" Old Zhou teased his daughter with a smile.

Xiaobai smiled helplessly. This was just the kind of person his father was.

"Luckily, someone blocked the bullet for you this time. By the way, how is the person who blocked the bullet for you now?"

"Don't worry, there is no danger to life."

"How about I go to Ningyang to see him?"

"Oh! No need for that. I believe we will meet again sooner or later." Mr. Zhou said meaningfully.

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

In the following period of time, many leaders came to visit Yuan Mu, not to mention those in the Criminal Police Team like Captain Jiang, but also some people from the Public Security Department including Director Lin and even Director Zhang from the Public Security Bureau came to visit him specifically.

At this time, Yuan Mu's ward was filled with a lot of miscellaneous gifts and other things.

So Yuan Mu asked Ma Yan, Wang Xin, Niu Dali, Cai Xiaonian, Yao Yuling and other young people to take the things back to the compound little by little and distribute them to everyone, otherwise they would all be ruined and wasted.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of June. Yuan Mu's health was indeed very good, which amazed the doctors. For an ordinary person, it would take two to six months to recover from Yuan Mu's injury.

Although Yuan Mu's wounds had not healed, after more than half a month of recovery, he was able to walk around. Apart from not being able to do strenuous exercise, he was no longer in trouble.

It was too uncomfortable to stay in the hospital, so Yuan Mu asked for discharge. After the doctor's examination, it was finally decided to discharge Yuan Mu.

So Yuan Mu was discharged from the hospital on July 1st, the Jian D Day, and there was less than a week left before the college entrance examination.

As soon as Yuan Mu returned to the compound, everyone welcomed him warmly. Yuan Mu's identity was different now, he was a hero. In the evening he couldn't avoid chatting and laughing with everyone, and he also talked about the dangerous moments at that time, which made everyone terrified.

When he arrived at the criminal police team the next day, his treatment was even higher. Captain Jiang almost offered Yuan Mu a promotion because he had heard that he was going to be promoted to work in the Public Security Bureau.

He had been working as a section chief for nearly a decade, and this time, things finally turned around and his rank was raised, crossing the barrier between section chief and deputy director.

The next morning, Yuan Mu stepped into the same auditorium where he was commended last time, the Public Security Bureau auditorium.

Looking at the crowds of people below, Yuan Mu was very moved for a moment. Yuan Mu had made a great contribution this time. He thought he would at most get a second-class merit, but he never expected that he would get a first-class merit and even be named a national hero and model of the public security system.

This really surprised Yuan Mu. How could he deserve such a title? But later Yuan Mu thought it over and realized that it must be Mr. Zhou who was behind it.

Moreover, Mr. Zhou is so old, he must have led many soldiers under him, distributed in various positions. They also knew that Yuan Mu saved Mr. Zhou's life, so they gave him such a title.

This is when the benefits of having someone behind you come into play. If Yuan Mu had not saved Mr. Zhou this time, he might have only been awarded a second-class merit, but he certainly would not have gotten any title.

In addition to these, the Railway Public Security Bureau also rewarded Yuan Mu with a lot of money and tickets. Now Yuan Mu has more tickets in his space than he can use up.

After the commendation meeting, Yuan Mu met Zhang Shaohuai again. He asked him about his well-being for a while. After the conversation, he learned that Director Zhang was once a soldier under Mr. Zhou.

The next morning, there was a large-scale personnel reshuffle in the Criminal Police Team of the Ningyang Railway Public Security Branch.

First of all, Captain Jiang no longer serves as the captain of the criminal police team of the Ningyang Railway Public Security Branch, but is instead appointed as the captain of the criminal police team of the Ningyang Railway Public Security Department. This position is exactly the deputy department level, and the previous captain has been assigned to another important position.

Secondly, the former instructor of the Criminal Police Team of Ningyang Railway Public Security Branch will no longer serve as the instructor of the Criminal Police Team of Ningyang Railway Public Security Branch, and will be assigned to another important position.

Yuan Mu suddenly transformed himself and officially took up the position of captain of the criminal police team of Ningyang Railway Public Security Branch, with an administrative level of section chief!

The former deputy instructor of the Criminal Police Team of the Ningyang Railway Public Security Branch was promoted to a higher rank and officially joined Yuan Mu's team and became a full-time employee.

Yuan Mu no longer served as the captain of the fifth team of the Criminal Police Team. Instead, he let Mingyu serve as the captain of the fifth team and Youyu as the deputy captain.

As for Lao Ma and Wang Xin, they did not participate in the case that day, so they did not make any contribution and naturally did not receive any reward.

At this point, Yuan Mu officially stepped into the spotlight and successfully became a full-time cadre at the section-level.

However, Yuan Mu himself knew that he would not be able to stay in this position for long. He would leave in three months at most. This was just a transition. Director Zhang had already talked to him about it before.

But this is also good, at least I have some work experience, which is very important.

My goal for this college entrance examination is Kyoto University of Political Science and Law. I wonder if Director Zhang can help me find a position in Kyoto?

But this is not something to be rushed. Just take it one step at a time. If it really doesn't work out, just delay it for a few years and it will be possible to make a breakthrough after accumulating strength.

I am now at the section level. After I graduate from school, even if I am not promoted to deputy director immediately, I can probably get there by waiting for a year or two. I can afford to wait.
