Chapter 354 - So-called Thrill! (1/2)
“Special Security Detachment’s Operation To Crack Down On Prostitution Achieved Significant Results!”
“Special Security Detachment Captured SS-level Wanted Criminal with Bravery!”
“Special Security Detachment Won the Public’s Praise!”
The front-page headlines on official newspapers had always been used to publish presidential or parliamentary resolution documents. Headlines on entertainment newspapers, on the other hand, were used to report news on celebrity scandals or incidents involving explicit pictures. Situations in Tianbei City were usually only published on the inside pages of official newspapers, and would never make it onto entertainment newspapers.
Han Jing looked at the papers in his hand. Regardless of whether it was the official newspaper or the entertainment newspaper that never published practical matters, every front-page headline today was about Tianbei City’s operation to crack down on prostitution.
“This bunch of young masters…” Han Jing threw the newspaper in his hand onto the table and shook his head. These lads from the special security detachment don’t seem to be good in any other matters, yet they are definitely the best in this kind of nonsense. With the power supporting them coupled with their mischievous attitudes, they have whipped up the public’s opinion at full steam.
Besides a few divine beast martial artists who were positioned way up, who in this world wouldn’t be afraid of the public opinion? Even the President would have to bow down in the face of public opinion.
With the members of the special security detachment pulling such means, Han Jing could only give a thumbs up and praise, “The army had forces that followed three main routes – land, sea, and air. Your publications also followed three simultaneous routes – the internet, television, and newspapers.”
It had been ten days. It had been ten full days since the day Hua Jinhan’s bathing center was shut down. The young masters of the special security detachment didn’t seem to have the slightest intention of stopping.
Han Jing was skeptical, wondering if these young men, who had always been too free, had finally found something fun to play with. Besides training, all their attention was focused on this operation to crack down on prostitution, as if they had been injected with chicken blood [1]. Various media presses of Tianbei City also were also extremely cooperative and turned a one-time operation to crack down on prostitution into an entire storm.
The influence of this matter had also expanded from the city of origin into the province. The provincial newspapers had also begun to gradually report on it, even to the point where it was brought onto a second page for a full coverage report.
It wasn’t that no one protested during this period.
Whenever the voice of such protests appeared, Han Jing would feel incredibly sorry for the protesting party. The young masters at the special security detachment were always carefree, but their power could not be underestimated. Their connections to finding out news were sometimes even more sensitive than his as a bureau chief. As soon as they heard that a place had protested secretly, they would raid the place immediately for three to five days, or even for a whole week.
On the ninth day, Han Jing discovered that this world was finally quiet. All the protests have disappeared, as everyone had understood one thing.
These young masters were really idle and bored. It was natural for them to keep playing with something they found fun. If someone were to choose to use under-the-covers means, it could be said that they chose to be played by them willingly.
What these young masters were afraid of was that no one would want to play with them, not people using under-the-covers means.
When everyone understood this, they finally kept silent. Everyone knew that as long as they were silent, these young masters would get bored eventually and stop.
The protests were gone, but Han Jing was not happy at all. The police station was not a company that produced benefits, and all funds needed financial support.
The operation storm to crack down on prostitution today had caused an income reduction for some civil servants in Tianbei City. In the aspect of approving funds, they only needed one blockage in the process. Without the need to do anything that violated principles, the financial situation of Tianbei Police Station would have already been reduced to an awkward point where even the funds for handling cases were somewhat inadequate.
It had now reached the payday of the police station, but Han Jing couldn’t even fork out the salary for ten people. It would be useless regardless of how he went about begging for help as those people obviously had their own opinions. As they couldn’t challenge those young masters, and with the fire in their hearts that couldn’t be released, it was natural for them to use this opportunity to vent it out externally.
Deng deng deng…
A rhythmic knock on the office door was heard, as well as the noise of a group of people outside the door. Han Jing knew that the young masters whom he had just called were finally here.
“Come in.”
Han Jing adjusted his sitting posture as he looked at Wu Hui and the others who followed behind Qin Fen. After a few days of not seeing these hooligans, their faces were all radiant. It seemed that they’ve had lots of fun playing!
“Bureau Chief.” Qin Fen nodded slightly and sat down on the sofa under Han Jing’s beckon.
“Good day, Bureau Chief!”
Twenty-two officers of the special security detachment yelled at once, and the full-blown aura almost blew the newspapers on his desk away.
“What is good?” Han Jing finger swept the rest to the sofa and said, “I don’t have many sofas here, whoever gets it gets it. For those who don’t, I don’t mind you sitting on the floor.”
The room went into chaos as the twenty-two special security detachment policemen started playing a game of snatching sofa seats instantly.
Qin Fen looked quietly at Han Jing who had a bitter face, and a bitter smile with slight guilt followed to show on his face.
The initial beginning of this operation to crack down on prostitution storm was because of Hua Jinhan, and was initially thought to be solved within a day. Qin Fen just didn’t expect that Yang Ruoruo’s home would be smashed by a group of people who broke in suddenly on that same night. At the same time, he also received orders from Zhao Huzi, Major General Zhao… no! Now it was Lieutenant Zhao who said that things were being handled well, and requested to proceed with this!
A general from the military had called in the middle of the night just to ask a bureau chief from the police to proceed with the operation of cracking down on prostitution. Although this was somewhat puzzling, Qin Fen still decided to execute General Zhao’s order.
First, this is also for the Yang Ruoruo sisters. Having just experienced some severe beating in the day, there were people who dared to provoke them in their homes directly at night. If they hadn’t transferred the two sisters away in advance, who knew what could’ve happened?
Qin Fen knew very well that according to the psychology of Squad Leader Hao, if such a mad arrogance was not suppressed, it would only become even more troublesome, pushing the two sisters into an even more dangerous situation.
For these two sisters also, we have to do this! Since there were also orders from above to do so, let’s do it with all our might! Although since this was the general’s order and not an order from the Chief Superintendent, there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with following these orders. Plus, he was only temporary assigned at the police force and his roots were still at the military. There wasn’t anything wrong with obeying military orders.
General Zhao had never called for him to stop during those ten days, and Qin Fen simply continued to lead the special security detachment in conducting the operation of cracking down on prostitution.
Although conducting such operation had offended a certain group of people, they had also won the respect and support of many. When the policemen of the special security detachment walked in the police station in the past, the other police officers would avoid them fearfully, and they looked at them like they were looking at the sons of the rich.
Now, regardless of where Wu Hui and the others went, they would always get gazes of admiration! The public also swarmed the police station every now and then with countless flower baskets, fruits, calligraphy scrolls, and even silk banners.
“Brave and Fearless, Courageous Against Smugglers”, “Justice Guardians, Social Conscience”, “Serving the People, Legal Pioneers”, “Upright and Outspoken, Uphold the Law Firmly”, “Legal Guardians, Social Conscience”.
Silk banners with various slogans covered the walls of the special security detachment room completely, one of the silk banners had even been used as a mop.
