South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 141 Visiting Zhou's Home

Entering the house, the layout of the whole house is relatively retro. There is no trace of luxury in the house, but it looks very grand.

"Oh, this is Xiao Yuan, right?" At this time, a middle-aged woman in her sixties came over with a smile on her face.

"Yuan Mu, this is my mother." Zhou Xiaobai next to her helped to introduce.

"Hello, auntie!" Yuan Mu hurried forward to greet her.

There was no need for me to be polite to Mrs. Zhou at this time. I had saved the couple, and they had asked me to come to their house today just to express their gratitude. There was no need to do this, and it might even annoy people.

On the contrary, calling her aunt can help bring you closer and test the other person's attitude towards you.

"Hey! Okay, come in quickly, Old Zhou is in the living room." Zhou's mother greeted warmly.

"Okay." Yuan Mu nodded repeatedly.

In fact, he wanted to bring something today, but Mr. Zhou attacked him unexpectedly and he was not prepared at all, so he could only make up for it next time.

"Xiao Yuan is here, come here quickly!" At this time, Mr. Zhou's voice came from inside.

"Uncle Zhou!" Yuan Mu came to the living room and saw Zhou Zhennan standing there with a smile on his face.

"Please sit down. I have prepared the tea. Please try it. It is good tea. I don't give it to ordinary people." Mr. Zhou smiled and sat down beside the tea table.

Yuan Mu also walked over and sat on the sofa beside him.

"Oh, I can do it myself." At this time, Mr. Zhou poured a cup of tea for Yuan Mu, and he hurriedly took it with both hands.

"Tsk! Don't be so polite. You saved my life and my daughter's life. What's wrong with pouring you a cup of tea?" Old Zhou pretended to be displeased.

Yuan Mu had no choice but to smile along.

"Uncle Zhou, there's no need to mention this anymore. I just did what I was supposed to do."

"That's different. You fulfilled your duty, but you saved us by the way, so we have to thank you."

Yuan Mu was helpless. The other person had already said this, and it would be hypocritical for him to be polite again.

"Come, try this. Have you finished the one I gave you last time? I'll get you one later." Mr. Zhou picked up a box of cigarettes from the coffee table with a smile, took out a cigarette and handed it to Yuan Mu.

Yuan Mu took out his lighter and helped Mr. Zhou light the cigarette, then lit one for himself.

"Okay, then I won't be polite with you. You know what, this cigarette tastes really good." Yuan Mu laughed.

"Dad! Why are you smoking again? Your health is not good, so try not to smoke." At this time, Zhou Xiaobai came out of the kitchen and saw this scene, and hurried over to say.

"Tsk! Kid, your father has smoked all his life, and now that I'm old, you still want me to quit?" Old Zhou glared.

"Dad, I'm doing this for your health!" Zhou Xiaobai sat next to Zhou Zhennan, hugged his arm, and said in a slightly coquettish tone.

"You're such an old girl, and there are guests here. Aren't you ashamed?" Although Zhou Zhennan said this, you can tell from his expression that he is enjoying it in his heart.

Zhou Xiaobai glanced at Yuan Mu, then let go of Zhou Zhennan's arm.

"Xiao Yuan, how is your injury?"

"Oh, it's okay now. It was nothing serious in the first place. I just bumped into something. It will be fine in two days." Yuan Mu waved his hand.

"Well, to be honest, I was really scared that day. If you hadn't remained calm and rescued Xiaobai, I don't know what I would have done." Zhou Zhennan sighed.

"This was my subconscious reaction. Saving lives was my top priority. I am actually scared now. If I had been slower, or if the explosives had been more powerful, the result would probably not have been this."

Yuan Mu's words were sincere. Although he had experienced this kind of thing before, it didn't mean he wasn't afraid. Saving people was a subconscious reaction, while fear came from the heart. Everyone has fear, and he was no exception.

Although they were trained in the special forces in their previous lives to face and eliminate fear, they are human beings after all, not machines, and cannot be completely focused.

"Well, everyone is afraid. I also said this when I talked to you last time. Let's not talk about this this time. Let's talk about your future. I see that you have applied to the School of Political Science and Law. Do you want to go into the field of politics and law in the future?" Zhou Zhennan nodded and changed the subject.

"Yes, I know my situation. I can catch thieves, but I may not be able to do anything else." Yuan Mu nodded with a smile.

"Actually, I'm very curious about how you learned your shooting skills. Weren't you afraid of hitting me?" Zhou Xiaobai interrupted.

Yuan Mu was silent for a while. Zhou Zhennan and Zhou Xiaobai looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer.

"To be honest, I'm not worried about hitting you, because since the day I touched a gun, I knew that my shooting skills came from my heart."

"With a pistol, I can guarantee a perfect score of 100 points at 30 or 50 meters. With a rifle, I can guarantee a perfect score of 100 points at 200 or even 300 meters."

"This may be an innate talent. At that time, less than half of the criminal's head was exposed. At that time, I thought that if I didn't fire this shot, the situation would continue to drag on."

"In that situation, the longer we delayed, the worse it would be for us, because the criminal wanted to see Wang Dayou. If he didn't see him by the appointed time, there was no telling what he would do."

"So, I only had one thought at that time, to shoot and kill him!" Yuan Mu said slowly.

"Then why didn't you choose to join the army? With your military qualities, it would be easy to be promoted if you joined the army." Zhou Zhennan asked immediately.

"I didn't think too much about it at the time. When my parents passed away, I was the only one left at home. I was young at that time, so I could only use the few connections I had. Besides, I have liked guns, knives and other things since I was a child."

"I didn't want to be a worker like my parents, I wanted to be a police officer, and by chance I became a prison guard, and later I became a criminal police officer."

After hearing Yuan Mu's words, Mr. Zhou and Zhou Xiaobai nodded slowly.

"So where do you want to work after you graduate?" Mr. Zhou continued to ask.

"Let's go back to Ningyang. Director Zhang of the Ningyang Railway Public Security Bureau admires me very much and is very nice to me. It was he who helped me get this temporary assignment. I have to go back for both moral and logical reasons." Yuan Mu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Mr. Zhou laughed.

"Xiao Yuan, you are wrong. Do you think Zhang Shaohuai has the ability to transfer you to the Criminal Investigation Team of the Kyoto Railway Public Security Bureau?"

Yuan Mu was stunned, then remembered his previous guess.

"Uncle Zhou, you didn't help me with this, did you?"
