Chapter 8, Pacification

With confusion and fear, Xu Yongmin fell into a despondent sleep

Yes, your mother knows everything

Indeed

Xu Yongmin let out a sigh of relief and said, "This is good"

Then, a middle-aged man resembling a leader, with a prominent belly, delivered an impassioned speech, praising Xu Yongmin profusely. He announced on the spot the conferral of the title "Pioneer of the Era" to Xu Yongmin and presented him with a banner, leaving the honest and simple Xu Yongmin both astonished and frightened.

Yes

The next day, a hurried knocking on the door startled him awake from his dreams. Upon opening the door, he found Xiao Dong, with an unusual expression, standing outside his bedroom.

Hastily putting on his clothes, Xu Yongmin came downstairs and indeed saw the beautiful policewoman patiently waiting not far away. Upon seeing Xu Yongmin appear, a hint of a smile seemed to pass over her fair face, though it was unclear whether Xu Yongmin was seeing things or misinterpreting the situation.

Did you escape from the police station later

Later on, did you save an old man and then get hit by a taxi? You really are fortunate; I heard that the taxi's bumper was completely crushed and the engine was totally wrecked, yet you came out unscathed!

She was not missing at all; she returned to participate in the program last night

"She is a female police officer, and she is downstairs," Xiao Dong said, his tone somewhat strange, seemingly indignant that a farmer like Xu Yongmin could actually have a woman come to see him, and that she was even a female police officer

When the victim wakes up, you should apologize to them in person and offer a book. If they no longer pursue the matter, then this issue will be considered resolved

Xu Yongmin scratched his head, chuckled, and said: "Sister Lan has returned to the office, no longer running away. I will go back to the police station with you right now"

The director nodded and said: "Although it is suspicious, there are indeed no doubts left at the scene; all signs indicate that the deceased committed suicide"

Xu Yongmin was left in a state of confusion; he could not understand when work had become "busy". When had he ever pruned the flowers and trees? He did indeed serve tea and water to his colleagues every day, but that was inherently part of his job responsibilities.

First People's Hospital of the City, Intensive Care Observation Room

Lan Bing could hardly suppress a laugh. What kind of person was this in front of her? They had managed to wreck a taxi, yet remained completely unscathed! Sometimes they could be quite brazen, even daring to disregard the authority of the police, but at other times, they were adorably timid, blushing even while speaking to her now, hee hee

Xu Yongmin could not understand, no matter how hard he tried, why the robber's watermelon knife had twisted into a spiral, yet his abdomen remained unscathed. He was even more perplexed by the fact that the taxi's bumper had crumpled, yet he emerged completely unharmed. Could it be that his fleshly body was somehow more resilient to impact than steel?

Someone is looking for you

Two beautiful little girls presented him with a flower basket and kissed him once on each cheek. This could be considered Xu Yongmin's first physical contact with the opposite sex since reaching adulthood... Little did he expect it to occur with two girls who were merely in their teens...

Yes. https://m.hetushu.com

The female police officer asked, "Not running anymore?"

Returning to the room, Xu Yong squatted down on the chair and immediately powered on the computer. His mind was filled with too many questions that needed answers, but some of these questions could not possibly be answered by reality; he could only try his luck online to see if he could find relevant information.

Oh, wait, here is a case just transferred from the municipal bureau. A certain popular model has mysteriously committed suicide at home, located in the Garden Community. If I remember correctly, this should be the tenth case of a prominent female celebrity in the entertainment industry committing suicide in this city within three years. This incident itself is quite suspicious. Take some people to the Garden Community and conduct a thorough investigation to see if there are any clues left at the scene.

Lan Bing paused for a moment in thought, then said: "Alright, I will take people to conduct a thorough investigation right away. The intuition of a criminal police officer tells me that there must be an issue here"

"It seems so," Xu Yongmin thought for a moment and replied, "But at that time, I merely gave that old man a little push; I was definitely going to be hit anyway! I happened to be stepping on a banana peel and was sliding down, so there was no way to dodge it"

Xu Yongmin was taken aback: "Ah, you are Sister Lan's older sister?"

Suddenly, and without reason, Xu Yongmin connected these two unusual events with the strange occurrences that had happened to him a few days prior. Everything came so mysteriously and frequently, all occurring on that morning when he was possessed by the mysterious creature. Could these unusual events be related to the mysterious creature that invaded his body?

Lan Bing's beautiful eyes sparkled for a moment as she asked, "The director said that in the case of the eleven female stars who committed suicide in the past, no suspicious points were found?"

Is it true that what is heard in a daze, as experts say, pertains to the potential of humanity being stimulated under extreme conditions

Xu Yongmin spread his hands and said, "I am also puzzled; what is going on here? I must say, even now, there is a question mark hanging in my mind. Do you think this is a dream?"

After midnight, the colleagues who had been making noise suddenly remembered that the "hero" had just been discharged from the hospital and still needed more rest, so they gradually dispersed, leaving only Xu Yong and Xiao Dong in the dormitory. Xiao Dong looked at the "Pioneers of the Era" banner hanging high on the wall and, feeling somewhat puzzled, remarked, "Well, in the blink of an eye, the old hen has turned into a duck, and the farmer has become a hero?"

Later, the leader of Xu Yongmin's unit took the stage to speak, providing a detailed account of some of Xu Yongmin's exemplary deeds. For instance, amidst his "busy" work, he never forgot to serve tea and water for his colleagues, clean the floors, and take out the trash. He even voluntarily took on the role of a general worker in the unit, stepping in to prune the flowers and plants in the garden in place of the ailing Old Wang, among other contributions.

This is simply unbelievable

Upon returning to the unit, Xu Yongmin was warmly welcomed by his colleagues. In the evening, a report meeting on advanced achievements was arranged, and the only task Xu Yongmin had was to read from a script drafted by someone unknown to him. Thus, he busily continued without pause until late at night, after which he was escorted by his colleagues to the dormitory.

Xiao Dong rolled his eyes and asked, "Were you taken away by the police yesterday?"

After a tense and rapid full-body examination by the experts, Xu Yongmin was confirmed to be in good health and ready for discharge. Just a few hours prior, he had awakened, astonishing the several experts who were surrounding him for the examination, leaving them dumbfounded! First, he had fallen into a deep sleep without any apparent reason, and then he had awakened without any warning. Everything about this "new era living Lei Feng" seemed so mysterious.

Xu Yongmin began to frantically search online for all information related to extraterrestrial beings, but all of this was naturally in vain, as there has never been any genuine record of extraterrestrial life forms to date. What he found were merely the fanciful writings of well-meaning individuals.

Lan Bing, I no longer wish to see cases that violate organizational principles and procedural norms. I hope you can take this as a warning! As a people's police officer, our duty is to combat crime and safeguard the lives and property of the people, rather than using our power to seek personal gain or vent frustrations for any individual

... ...

"What? A female police officer!" Xu Yongmin instinctively felt a shock, "Oh no, how could I have forgotten about this? Has Sister Lan found it?"

Finally, there were many interviews conducted by journalists, and most of the questions only required Xu Yongmin to answer with a yes or no. Thus, over two hours passed in a rather muddled manner. Amidst the sound of drums and music, Xu Yongmin had the honor of returning to the unit in the official car provided for the leaders.

Furthermore, when you encounter my sister in the future, treat it as if nothing has happened, just like before

"Alright, just like before, let's pretend nothing has happened." Xu Yongmin nodded repeatedly, "Every day I still take out the trash for Sister Lan"

At the entrance of the People's Hospital, the crowd, applause, and flowers left Xu Yongmin, who had always been inconspicuous, at a loss.

The female officer lowered her face and threatened, "What happened yesterday is considered past, and I do not wish to pursue it any further. However, starting today, you are not to entangle with Xue'er under any pretext, do you understand? Otherwise, I will not spare you"

Everything that happened early this morning is truly unbelievable

After the incident with Lan Xue'er, Xu Yongmin felt somewhat disheartened. With little time left, the courage he had finally mustered dissipated, and he returned to his former self. Although he harbored desires, he lacked the courage to act on them, no longer daring to entertain any improper thoughts. Despite his usual bold demeanor, even to the point of confronting the police, he was exceedingly timid in front of girls.

The female officer ignored Xu Yongmin's self-awareness and suddenly said: "My name is Lan Bing, and I am Xue'er’s sister"

Then it's settled, you may go ahead and attend to your tasks

In the office of the director of a certain branch in Ningzhou City, a female police officer is receiving a reprimand

Upon hearing this, Xiao Dong's heart shattered, once again stirred by cruel memories

"Young man, you are in luck; the best is yet to come." Xiao Dong shook his head, "In this day and age, there are indeed many strange occurrences..."

Xu Yongmin, who had already been frightened out of his wits by the turmoil caused by his first love confession, nodded repeatedly upon hearing this and said: "I won't dare again, I won't dare in the future."

Yes

"Who is it? It's early in the morning." Xu Yongmin yawned and was about to open the door
