Chapter 0008 Departure

Do you have a way?" Gu Yuan cast a disdainful glance at Luo Yao.

"No, if we walk over, it will be too much of a waste of time. Today is already the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. If we do not take the water route from Shouchang City to Yueyang, it will take at least three days. According to the intelligence on the mission, Duan the Lame will be spending the New Year's Eve at the Yin family this year. This is our only opportunity." Gong Huibing's cold, bright eyes swept over the four, directly and unceremoniously rejecting Mancang's proposal.

In fact, let's change our perspective; we may not necessarily need to spend money to take a boat. At this moment, Luo Yao coughed twice and spoke up

The solution lies with our team leader; as long as he steps forward, we can take the boat to Yueyang for free. " Luo Yao chuckled.

As soon as dawn broke, Liu Jinbao went out. Relying on his social connections, he quickly found a familiar boat captain, who happened to have a ship ready to go to Yueyang. The five of them boarded the boat, and at the same time, they promised to help the captain resolve some troubles along the way.

"How about we take the train? It won't take us a day to get there," Gu Yuan suggested.

Let alone the additional five free bodyguards, those are not something that can be hired even with money

That's it, since we are here, we might as well make ourselves comfortable

The tasks assigned to each group are also different, and naturally, the level of difficulty varies. Some individuals may draw routes that are easy to navigate, yet the tasks are not simple. Conversely, some routes may be challenging to traverse, but the tasks are quite straightforward.

There are also some rumors, but they have not been verified

"There are ways to exercise discretion, and I believe this is indeed a solution," Gong Hui remarked

Director, should we cancel Luo Yao's qualification for special training

If things do not go well and the higher-ups are dissatisfied, they might directly send you back, rendering all your hard work in vain

Secretary Liao Xia responded, "I have indeed learned some information. This Luo Yao is not a local of Xiakou; he fled from Jinling and was arranged to join the bureau by Han Liangze, the deputy director of the Xiakou Police Headquarters. Director Gu Mohan of the Inspection Division recognized his high academic qualifications and recommended him for the special training class"

"You have never been a police officer before?" Liu Jinbao was also taken aback, as he truly did not know this.

Inside the eight envelopes, there are eight maps, as well as the ocean

There is only one topic: how to get to Yueyang

Eight groups, each consisting of 4 to 5 individuals, will take different routes and use various means of transportation to reach Xiangcheng after crossing the river

Although I have a trump card, it cannot be easily utilized

Shall we walk over instead?" Man Cang said

Sister Luo

... ...

This is a test before entering the special training class

Fine, since you are ignoring me, I also cannot be bothered to pay attention to them. I casually found a spot and sat down in a corner

Luo Yao originally had no personal belongings. The person checking his luggage carefully examined his suitcase and confiscated nothing, directly returning it to him.

Speak, I am listening

Old Liu, you are a member of the Special Operations Team at the Xiakou Police Station, so you should know quite a few ship captains. Could you find one to take us to Yueyang? This shouldn't be a problem, right?

Yu Jie nodded and said: "Has the situation regarding Luo Yao been resolved?"

Liu Jinbao nodded and spoke eloquently

Is this all?" Yu Jie frowned slightly

When it comes down to it, they are also figures in official circles

Speaking of the task, Liu Jinbao couldn't help but grumble: "I don't know what they are thinking up there. Are they calling us for special training, or are they deliberately assigning us a difficult task? Our mission this time is to capture a wanted criminal. His surname is Duan, and he is nicknamed 'Duan the Lame.' He has been active in the two lakes for many years. In the past, I also participated in the pursuit, but he escaped then as well..."

"Then it is settled." Gong Hui cast a faint glance at Luo Yao, as if the team leader were her.

The sworn brother of Duan Quezi is from Yueyang, a place with deep roots and great influence, commanding an armed force of nearly 2,000 men, and also serving as the commander of the local security regiment in Yueyang

Liu Jinbao shook his head, wondering how such an important special training opportunity was given to a newcomer who had been a police officer for less than a month

I said, this is settled

I will not engage in underhanded dealings like that". Man Cang immediately scoffed.

However, we only have 10 yuan in funds. If we take a boat, it will cost us half of that money. Once we arrive, we will also need to pay for accommodation and meals. In less than three days, we will be left with nothing. Liu Jinbao said, this is a very practical issue; without money, how can we afford food and lodging?

The main issues are the annoying inspections and tolls along the way

It is indeed fair

Luo Yao opened his eyes, shot a glance at Liu Jinbao, and turned to sleep on his side

Could it be that there are connections behind the scenes? (Liu Jinbao is unaware of the relationship between Luo Yao and Han Liangze)

Do you not believe?

With Liu Jinbao's status, he is able to save the captain a considerable amount of money, and the money saved is sufficient to cover the shipping fees

This does make sense; this Gu Mosheng is quite bold, daring to casually recommend someone who has barely been a police officer for a few days and is still a person from the occupied area

On average, each person receives 2 yuan; a group of four people receives 8 yuan; a group of five people receives 10 yuan

"Who says we won't pay? There are five of us, which is equivalent to having five bodyguards. This trip will encounter quite a few checkpoints, but with us here, the captain of this ship will save a lot of trouble." Luo Yao nodded. Man Cang's personality, to put it nicely, is just too straightforward; to put it harshly, he is too pedantic.

Over the years, this cripple has repeatedly managed to evade capture; to say that it has nothing to do with this Yin Tianchou would be unbelievable.

Liu Jinbao is always a step behind

Yu Jie thought for a moment and shook his head: "No need. Originally, our special training this time requires us to recruit talent from outside. This Luo Yao is a graduate of Zhenduan University. For someone like him, as long as his background is clean, we would welcome him with open arms, so there is no reason to turn him away."

"Director, they are having a meeting in the room, likely discussing how to go to Yueyang City tomorrow," reported Yu Jie’s secretary as he knocked and entered the room

"Indeed, how could I have forgotten about this!" Liu Jinbao exclaimed, slapping his thigh in excitement

In the eyes of many, Luo Yao is merely a coward, a penniless wretch without status, and he even discovered that he was isolated by the other members within Group 5.

After boarding the ship, apart from Liu Jinbao occasionally speaking a few words to him, the other three showed him little regard, especially Gong Hui, who has not spoken a single word to him since then

The play is quite advanced

I have been a police officer for less than a month now, and I am still in a civilian position. Although Luo Yao does not care much about this, it is appropriate to clarify when asked.

... ...

It is said that Luo Yao is the nephew of Han Liangze and has an engagement agreement with his daughter Han Yun. However, Han Liangze wishes to break off the engagement and marry into the local wealthy Hu family in Xiakou. It seems that Luo Yao is also entangled with Han Yun. In order to get rid of Luo Yao, Han Liangze seeks the help of Gu Mosheng

Plans cannot keep up with changes; he originally intended to gradually stand out during the special training, but it now seems that achieving this is not an easy task

Calculating, there are only ten days left until the Lunar New Year. Considering the time we will spend on the road, we have at most a week left. " Luo Yao calculated the distance and time, " With such a short time, capturing such a wanted criminal should require precise intelligence, right? "

Yes

"Free boat ride?" Liu Jinbao was taken aback himself

Penny-pincher

In addition to necessary self-defense weapons and clothing, they are not allowed to carry any other items. All personal belongings will be transported by train and will be returned after arriving at the destination

I knew you wouldn't believe me. Never mind, why don't you tell me what our mission is this time? I couldn't hear clearly when they were surrounding you just now. Luo Yao asked, in the entire fifth group, only Liu Jinbao could still speak, and he is still the team leader. This mission is clearly a test.

In addition, there are tasks

"Lao Luo, Lao Luo, are you really unable to shoot, or are you just afraid to compete with Miss Gong, and saying this on purpose?" Liu Jinbao quickly put on a smile, changing it to a broad grin. He was not familiar with the others, but Luo Yao was considered one of his own, after all, they both came from the same police station.

Intelligence reports indicate that Duan Quezi was seen in Yueyang three days ago, and he may be hiding in the home of his sworn brother Yin Tianchou in Yunmengze (Dongting Lake)

At least in the memory of Luo Yao's second soul, there was no such trial in entering the "Training Class" for study, or perhaps there were no written records left, and later generations are unaware of it

"When I said nothing..." Gu Yuan smiled awkwardly. Now, a way to make money in a short period of time must certainly not be a legitimate path

After dinner, Liu Jinbao convened a meeting with everyone

Otherwise, shall we first think of a way to raise some money? Gu Yuan suggested

However, there are ultimately more than 1,000 people in the training class, while our group consists of only 37 individuals. It is evident that there will be a large number of students in the future, and they are likely to be different from us.

"Each train ticket costs at least 1 dollar per person, and along the way, we will also need to eat and drink. Each of us currently has a budget of 2 dollars..." Liu Jinbao said. He is a local and familiar with the situation. For this task, he serves as the team leader, which is actually the most suitable choice.

"If we don't pay, and just sit here for free, will the higher-ups blame us when they find out?" Man Cang frowned slightly. As a martial artist, he was quite straightforward and did not appreciate those who took advantage of situations, which was also a weakness in his character
