Chapter 950 - 491: Guarding the Lights of Ten Thousand Homes! (Part 3)

Director Hou was momentarily dazed, even thinking they were welcoming other important leaders. He instinctively wanted the driver to accelerate a bit and drive directly into the courtyard to avoid any disturbance.

However, just as the vehicle was about to pass through the gate, Mr Yang suddenly raised his hand and waved at them, signaling to stop.

The driver reacted swiftly, hitting the brakes sharply; the vehicle trembled slightly and came to a steady halt.

At that moment, Director Hou suddenly understood—they were the entourage the two leaders were waiting for.

He quickly regained his composure, reached out to pat Jiang An on the shoulder beside him, his tone carrying a hint of excitement and urgency: "Jiang An, wake up, get ready to disembark."

"Mr Yang and Director Liu are waiting for us outside."

Jiang An woke up from a brief slumber, exhausted from the journey, he had fallen into a deep sleep and only now did he come back to his senses.

As he pushed open the car door, Mr Yang and Director Liu were already approaching, each carrying a bouquet of flowers, solemnly handing them over.

Receiving the two vibrant bouquets, Director Hou and Jiang An exchanged a glance, both reading a touch of incredulous emotion in each other’s eyes.

They had not expected that a routine case report would be met with such high-level recognition.

This was not only an acknowledgment of their work but also the highest tribute to the hard work of frontline detectives.

Then, Director Liu steadily stepped forward and softly said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"Mr Yang just briefed me on the basic situation of this case, and it was handled very impressively, very well done!"

He paused briefly, looking around before continuing, "Seeing our police force with young, energetic, and responsible individuals like you makes me feel very gratified."

"As the saying goes, ’the sword unsheathed, intimidating the world,’ wherever our detectives go, they are a sword protecting justice, both guardians of social peace and representatives of the police force’s image."

"On the road of eliminating evil and maintaining social peace, our detectives always charge forward without backing down."

"You are using your sincerity, your passion, even your lives to protect the lights of thousands of homes, and this contribution is seen by the organization and remembered by the people."

His tone grew more steady, "You all have done excellently, but the road ahead is long, I hope you continue to maintain your vigorous spirit and high ideological consciousness, constantly honing your skills, improving your professional qualities, and striving to make more and greater contributions to the cause of criminal investigation."

After speaking, Director Liu deliberately turned his gaze to Jiang An, speaking earnestly, "Jiang An, although you are not an officially registered member of our provincial office, I have heard of your name and deeds."

"As the youngest and also the most outstanding detective captain in the whole province, I was surprised but more importantly, fortunate that our province can still produce excellent criminal investigation talents like you."

He nodded slightly, continuing, "Especially this case, starting from what seemed like an ordinary hit-and-run, you dug deep all the way and ultimately uncovered a hidden criminal gang in the depths of the forest."

"The entire investigation process was thrilling and intricately linked, more exciting than movies and novels."

"But I believe, this is no coincidence, rather a reflection of your solid foundation and keen insight."

"Some things, only if you think of them first can they be acted upon; and only if you have such capability can you finally achieve it."

His tone grew more earnest, "You’ve done very well, young man! You are still young, and the road of criminal investigation lies long ahead."

"I believe, not only does Jiangcheng need you, our entire province’s criminal investigation lines need pioneering forces like you."

"In the future, if any difficult cases or thorny problems arise within the province, I hope you can participate frequently, offering opinions, and bring your good experiences and methods to a broader stage."

Hearing these words, any lingering drowsiness in Jiang An vanished instantly.

He immediately straightened his body, snapped to attention with a forceful salute towards Director Liu, his voice resonant and firm: "Yes, Director Liu! I will definitely remember your instructions, continually advancing and forging ahead on the path of criminal investigation, never failing the organization’s trust and training."

"I will always remember the mission and responsibilities on my shoulders, using all my passion and vigor to guard the peace of this city, illuminating every light in every home!"
