Prologue, an exceptional scoundrel

Although the leader did not specify what good deed Tang Bin had done, Wu Yuanming, surrounded by numerous traffic police congratulating him, was well aware of the situation. One night last month, Wu Yuanming invited Tang Bin to a entertainment venue for a night of indulgence. Wu Yuanming's older brother, who is also the owner of that entertainment venue, secretly added some stimulating powder to Tang Bin's drink and lent him a voluptuous woman for a night of revelry. Of course, as a fair and upright public servant and Tang Bin's subordinate, Wu Yuanming would not instruct his relatives to take photos of Tang Bin during his indulgence; however, he did send the used condom from Tang Bin to the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Strange, isn't it? The driver stared in astonishment at the broken fog light of his car, murmuring to himself, "I clearly remember it being fine when I left the chemical plant. How did it get broken?"

"Captain Wu, you have arrived," greeted Cui Xingya, who was in awe of Wu Yuanming, at the entrance. Wu Yuanming smiled and nodded; he also appreciated this new traffic officer, especially his eagerness to pay for him.

Clang!

Under the light of the car headlights, Wu Yuanming glanced at the cigarette, immediately curling his lips—after all, it was merely a casualty taken from a pack of medium-priced cigarettes costing ten yuan each. Wu Yuanming tossed aside the nearly burnt-out soft cloud cigarette butt, shaking his head dismissively and said: "No way." He snatched the driver's license and vehicle registration, flipping through them casually as he asked the driver: "What are you transporting? How much did you carry?"

After the coking coal truck unloaded approximately half a ton of coking coal, Wu Yuanming finally nodded to allow it to pass. Not long after, as he was about to end his night shift, Wu Yuanming stopped another truck, which was also carrying laundry detergent, but this one only had eight hundred boxes and all the documentation was in order. Despite his extensive experience in imposing fines and his excellent performance, Wu Yuanming, who had already been regarded as a candidate for the next team leader, could not find a single reason to impose a fine. Even Wu Yuanming's new assistant, Cui Xingya, felt a sense of anxiety for him, thinking to himself that our deputy captain's record of imposing fines on every truck might just be broken.

"Cui Xingya, take this driver to the inspection station to make a record of safe driving. It is rare to find such a law-abiding driver," Wu Yuanming seemed to have given up on his record of penalizing every vehicle and letting his assistant Cui Xingya take the driver to make the record, indicating that he intended to promote this driver as a model of safe driving. However, after the driver and Cui Xingya entered the inspection station, Wu Yuanming quietly tiptoed to the front headlight of the vehicle, pulling out a delicate and compact stainless steel hammer from his waist... letting his assistant Cui Xingya take the driver to make the record, indicating that he intended to promote this driver as a model of safe driving. However, after the driver and Cui Xingya entered the inspection station, Wu Yuanming quietly tiptoed to the front headlight of the vehicle, pulling out a delicate and compact stainless steel hammer from his waist...

"Please show your driver's license! Show your vehicle registration!" Wu Yuanming, with one hand holding a nearly finished cigarette and the other hand majestically waving a hand-held luminous traffic police inspection sign, shouted at the driver who was bowing and nodding in front of him. The unfortunate driver targeted by Wu Yuanming felt distressed in his heart, yet he forced a smile on his face as he handed over his documents along with a cigarette to Wu Yuanming. "Comrade traffic police, thank you for your hard work checking vehicles at night, have a cigarette." The unfortunate driver targeted by Wu Yuanming felt distressed in his heart, yet he forced a smile on his face as he handed over his documents along with a cigarette to Wu Yuanming. "Comrade traffic police, thank you for your hard work checking vehicles at night, have a cigarette."

The news spread, and both the traffic police team and friends and family of Wu Yuanming congratulated him and flattered him. However, the drivers who relied on National Highway 320 for their livelihood were all alarmed, lamenting that they would likely go hungry in the future. The quick-witted ones were already making arrangements to sell their cars, thinking that if they couldn't provoke trouble, they could at least avoid it. However, the drivers' concerns and worries did not last long. On the night of Wu Yuanming's promotion, a piece of news that warranted firecrackers to be set off in celebration by all local drivers spread—on the very night he was promoted to the captain of the traffic police squad, Wu Yuanming, after getting drunk at a entertainment venue, was beaten by urban management officers for filming them assaulting a vendor with his phone. After being discovered by the urban management officers, he was given a beating, and by the time he was sent to the hospital, he had already closed his eyes forever.

Wu Yuanming did not have a false sense of joy. At 8:30, he received the order from the county committee appointing him as the acting captain of the traffic police team. As for the original captain, Tang Bin, who was supposed to retire in another fifteen years, it is said that he has already been invited by the municipal discipline inspection commission for a chat. Therefore, as the first deputy captain, Wu Yuanming naturally took over Tang Bin's position

"The work hours are approaching, why hasn't Captain Tang's car arrived yet?" Cui Xingya said curiously while looking at the parking lot in front of the building. The Captain Tang mentioned by Cui Xingya is the head of this traffic police team, a lecherous and thin middle-aged man. Wu Yuanming also noticed this strange phenomenon and secretly rejoiced, certain that his careful arrangements had finally taken effect.

Because the record of mandatory fines for every vehicle has not been broken, Wu Yuanming slept soundly at night. After signing in and having breakfast at the breakfast shop in the morning, Wu Yuanming drove the law enforcement vehicle and arrived at the traffic police team on time for work. In Wu Yuanming's estimation, he, as the deputy captain of the traffic police team, aimed to remove the title of 'deputy' within these few days. Therefore, Wu Yuanming had to be punctual for work to leave a good impression on superiors who might visit the traffic police team to announce personnel changes at any time.

"Traffic police comrade, may I have a cigarette?" The new driver of this large truck is also carrying a load of eight tons. Judging solely by the external appearance, the volume of the cargo is not much larger than that of the truck that initially transported laundry powder—only this truck is carrying coking coal. The driver of the previous truck, which was transporting laundry powder, secretly cursed Wu Yuanming for his lack of descendants while reassuring himself that the truck below would surely face a harsher penalty than his own!

"I am transporting laundry detergent for a chemical factory, and this trip has loaded 1,050 boxes," the anxious driver replied, pointing to his large truck. It is no wonder the driver was nervous; his vehicle's maximum allowable weight is 8 tons, and each box of this laundry detergent weighs 8 kilograms, totaling an overload of 400 kilograms. In other checkpoints, if a truck is overloaded by several hundred kilograms, the traffic police generally do not make a fuss and will wave it through. However, at this checkpoint, it is hard to say—among the drivers who frequently travel this route, there is a saying: 'If you encounter traffic police Wu Yuanming, you won't die, but you will definitely lose some scales!'

Using the vehicle's headlights, Wu Yuanming discovered that the cigarette handed over by the driver was not a single stick, but an unopened pack of premium Yunyun cigarettes. It seemed that something was pressed under the cigarette box. Taking the opportunity to receive the driver's license, Wu Yuanming accepted both the cigarettes and the money, finding three hundred-yuan bills pressed beneath the cigarette box. Wu Yuanming did not shy away from this; he boldly stuffed the cigarettes and the cash into his pants pocket and waved at the driver, saying, "You are overloaded; unload some at the checkpoint before proceeding." It was already autumn, and Wu Yuanming needed to prepare some fuel for the checkpoint to get through the winter.

"Comrade police, can I leave now?" The driver's voice carried a hint of pride. In order to deal with the traffic police's inspection and fines, he deliberately loaded less cargo, seeking only to cover his fuel costs, sacrificing all profits just to avoid queuing at the bank to pay the fine. Not to mention the loss of work and time, his driver's license could also be subject to points deduction. With a strong sense of confidence, this driver did not bow or offer a cigarette to Wu Yuanming like the previous two did, which naturally left Wu Yuanming feeling uncomfortable.

Overloaded by 400 kilograms, deduct 2 points, and a fine of 200! Wu Yuanming did not blink an eye, swiftly filled out the ticket and handed it to the unfortunate driver, "Pay the fine at the Industrial and Commercial Bank within three days, and the consequences of overdue payment are to be borne by you"

"Traffic police comrade, I only overloaded by four hundred kilograms, and you fine me two hundred..." The unfortunate driver cried out in an attempt to explain, but Wu Yuanming had already waved at the next unfortunate soul, "Your driver's license, and your vehicle registration."

"Don't panic, just take notes, everyone come out." Wu Yuanming lit a cigarette and pointed at the already broken and deformed fog light, asking the driver who hurriedly came out of the inspection station with a fierce tone: "I didn't notice earlier, what happened to your fog light? Don't you know that incomplete lighting while driving at night is a major taboo? What if it suddenly fogs up at night? Don't you understand safety in transportation? Don't you know the traffic safety rules?"

The incomplete lighting of the night driving lights poses a safety hazard, resulting in a fine of 200 and a deduction of 2 points Wu Yuanming's action of tearing up the fine ticket has always been quite stylish and is also highly praised by the nightclub hostesses

By the way, it is said that when Wu Yuanming was surrounded and beaten by the urban management officers, someone heard him crying out and explaining to them, "I am wronged! I was not filming you with my phone, I was filming the owner of that barbecue stall. Her clothes were torn by you, I was filming her!" Of course, such rumors are merely the gossip of common folk... They will certainly not be mentioned at Wu Yuanming's memorial service... "I am wronged! I was not filming you with my phone, I was filming the owner of that barbecue stall.
