Chapter 996: Knocked Out and Dragged Away
Wang Kai was one of the most outstanding candidates in the Dragon Soul unit before Lin Fei left. If Lin Fei hadn't left the Dragon Soul unit, it's imaginable that Lin Fei would have definitely cultivated Wang Kai as his trusted aide.
What a pity.
After Lin Fei left the Dragon Soul unit, Wang Kai, upon finding out, also chose to leave. He kept searching for Lin Fei's whereabouts, simply because Lin Fei had once taught him in the team.
In Lin Fei's words, this kid Wang Kai is good in every way except that he values gratitude too much, which is not good.
As the saying goes, "Too much of anything is bad." Originally, valuing gratitude is a good thing, but Wang Kai values it so heavily that as long as someone treats him well, he feels obliged to repay them. He shares a similar fate with Lin Fei, with both parents deceased, and joined the army to avenge them.
Back then, Lin Fei seemed to see his own shadow in Wang Kai, so he silently nurtured him, hoping he could achieve something and surpass him.
However, Lin Fei didn't expect that once Wang Kai knew he had left, he too chose to follow in his footsteps and left the Dragon Soul unit. It wasn't until recently that Wang Kai learned Lin Fei was in Zhonghai and rushed over. He just continued working as a policeman in Zhonghai, not daring to find Lin Fei, fearing Lin Fei would scold him.
Now that they met, everything was unspoken. The two hugged each other tightly, Wang Kai's eyes almost wet, having finally seen his "mentor" after so many years, making his search for Lin Fei worthwhile.
"Didn't expect you to be this fast," Lin Fei said.
Wang Kai scratched his head, showing an expression he hadn't shown in years, and sheepishly said, "It's all thanks to you, boss, for teaching me to act swiftly and decisively. I've always remembered it."
Seeing Wang Kai, Lin Fei's memories couldn't help but flash back to those passionate years, and he smiled, knowing that one cannot relive life's journey and can at most look back at the fleeting past.
"I never taught you to do things without direction that disappoint me," Lin Fei's expression turned serious. He really felt it was a shame that Wang Kai left the Mo Country army, as Wang Kai was born to be a soldier.
Yet Lin Fei's departure seemed to ruin this born soldier, causing Lin Fei to feel somewhat guilty towards Wang Kai.
Wang Kai could also tell Lin Fei was blaming him, but he stood up straight and saluted Lin Fei once more, saying, "I only know that a soldier without a general is not a soldier, and since you left, general, I couldn't be a deserter, right?"
Lin Fei punched Wang Kai's chest with a laugh and a scold, "You are a deserter for doing this."
Wang Kai also laughed. After seeing Lin Fei, he felt like he was back in the days of military camp and said, "If I'm a deserter, so be it, at least I didn't betray the general and am still a good soldier."
Lin Fei shook his head, saying, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier. You've wasted all these years, but it's understandable. Being a policeman now and contributing to the country isn't bad."
"Yes, boss."
With Wang Kai's abilities, earning a rank in the army wouldn't be a problem, but he chose to be a policeman, demonstrating just how stubborn he is.
"Alright, no more talking. Let's find some time to chat properly later. For today, keep busy, and as for these City Management officers, handle them as you see fit." Lin Fei didn't want to continue talking to avoid stirring up painful memories from the past.
By this point, others had also heard Lin Fei and Wang Kai's conversation, and naturally, the City Management officers heard it too, their expressions turning grave. They hadn't expected Lin Fei to have connections with the police, which meant they had inadvertently shot themselves in the foot.
Especially the overweight City Management officer, whose face turned pale with fear. The chubby policeman was already dirty, having connections with human traffickers, and even sold a few children. If the police really want to investigate him, he'd likely be exposed.
The overweight City Management officer didn't want to be caught just like that. Thinking of his financial prospects and the days when people would respectfully hand over money when he appeared on the street, he suddenly shouted at the crowd watching around him.
"Help! Help! They're fake police, they want to kill me, they're villains, they're devils, please save me!"
The onlookers just glanced and ignored the overweight City Management officer because many locals knew about the character of the officer and the issues here.
They'd long wished for the overweight City Management officer to be arrested or even beaten up, to stop him from strutting around the streets like a nobleman with his big belly every day.
"Take them all away. It seems necessary to discuss with the local street committee about the quality of the City Management personnel here," Wang Kai said coldly.
Upon hearing Wang Kai's words, those City Management officers turned pale, realizing that their days in this cushy job were numbered.
They attributed all the blame to the overweight City Management officer. If not for him, they wouldn't have ended up like this.
At that moment, a City Management officer suddenly shouted, "Officer, I want to report that this fat bastard sells children!"
Lin Fei and Wang Kai exchanged a smile, realizing it was a case of a dog biting its own tail, which was better since it would make resolving things easier without much hassle.
"Xiao Wang! You bastard, they aren't real police, they..."
"Knock him out and drag him away."
Listening to the chattering overweight City Management officer, Wang Kai directly ordered. As soon as he finished speaking, a young man grabbing the overweight City Management officer delivered a swift chop, rendering him unconscious. The world fell quiet instantly.
Lin Fei admired Wang Kai. He could tell that the police officer didn't have experience in the army, but his swift precise actions clearly indicated military training. Among the police where Wang Kai worked, even if there were former military personnel, Lin Fei believed none would surpass Wang Kai as a soldier.
With no further involvement needed, Lin Fei decided to leave. He bid farewell to Wang Kai and prepared to go home, figuring out how to soothe his wife, Mu Shanshan, the company president, from whom he needed to ask for forgiveness since he was at fault initially.
"Boss, you can't leave." Wang Kai directly blocked Lin Fei's path, his expression intensely serious.
Seeing Wang Kai's serious demeanor, Lin Fei was taken aback, then cursed, "Damn, Wang Kai, there's no need to be so serious. After all, I'm your boss, so let me use some backdoors if possible. I'm quite busy."
However, Wang Kai shook his head and said, "Boss, have you ever heard of the Iron Country Poison Scorpion?"
"Iron Country Poison Scorpion? How do you know about them?!" Lin Fei's expression darkened as he spoke.
