"Alright, Su Dahai. Su Mo's only on his second day at work."
"Some things are inevitable for someone new—he might not have thought it through completely."
"I'll have a private talk with Su Mo about matters like this in the future."
Looking at Su Dahai, Yang Guoming spoke solemnly.
Although Su Dahai's earlier outburst might cost the South District a major commendation,
Yang Guoming didn't bear any resentment.
He knew very well that every word Su Dahai said was for Su Mo's own good.
As captain of the Criminal Investigation Division, Su Dahai had experienced too much life and death.
He took these matters extremely seriously, and Yang Guoming fully understood that.
Off to the side, Wu Cheng'an and Chen Yumin weren't surprised by Su Dahai's emotional reaction either.
Because about ten years ago, Su Dahai was just like Su Mo.
Bold, daring, always charging to the front line!
No matter how dangerous the situation, he was the first to step forward.
But during a vacation one year, Su Dahai encountered a tragedy.
While shopping with his wife, they happened to run into a wanted fugitive.
Unaware of the fugitive's danger, Su Dahai acted alone to make the arrest.
He didn't expect the man to be armed.
In the end—Su Dahai was critically injured, and his wife was killed.
That kind of painful cost would stay with him for a lifetime.
And now, what happened today was eerily similar to that tragic day.
In the eyes of Yang Guoming and the others, Su Dahai must have been overwhelmed by the resemblance, triggering his extreme emotional reaction.
Su Dahai remained silent, his expression dark, standing motionless.
No one could guess what he was thinking.
"Alright, whatever the case, catching Wang Meng is a cause for celebration."
"Let's stop looking so grim."
Chen Yumin chuckled, easing the tension. Then he spoke into the walkie-talkie:
"Su Mo, we've already dispatched a vehicle. Transport Wang Meng here immediately!"
Once back to business, everyone's expressions returned to normal, efficiently resuming their tasks.
"Doctors, be ready. Wang Meng's unconscious—he needs to be revived immediately."
"Interrogation team—where are they? Get over here quickly. If we're lucky, we might use this lead to catch Wang Hu today!"
"Interrogation? Wu Cheng'an, did you forget something? Who here interrogates better than Su Mo?"
As soon as those words landed, everyone on the bus burst into awkward laughter.
No denying it—Su Mo was almost too versatile.
It felt like there was nothing he couldn't do.
About ten minutes later, Su Mo and a few Criminal Investigation officers escorted Wang Meng over.
The doctors immediately began checking his injuries and administering treatment to wake him up.
Su Mo took a quick glance at Su Dahai—only to be met with a fierce glare.
He instinctively shrank back, rubbed his nose, and gave an awkward chuckle.
He knew all too well—his old man was truly furious this time.
Just then, Chen Yumin walked over with a cheerful smile, patting Su Mo on the shoulder.
"Su Mo, didn't expect we'd see each other again so soon."
"And you've brought me another big surprise. But…"
Mid-sentence, Chen Yumin's expression turned serious:
"As a police officer, courage and initiative are good qualities—but you must always prioritize safety."
"Catching criminals is important, but officers like you on the front line are even more important!"
Hearing this, Su Mo's expression turned equally solemn.
He stood at attention and saluted:
"Thank you for your concern, sir. I will keep that in mind!"
Everyone around smiled and nodded in approval.
With such an exceptional young man—what leader wouldn't be pleased?
Even Wu Cheng'an from West District looked at Yang Guoming with barely concealed envy.
"Alright, kid, take a short break. You'll be back in action soon enough."
Yang Guoming gestured toward the still-unconscious Wang Meng and said:
"When he wakes up, you'll be interrogating him."
"If we're lucky, we might trace this back to Wang Hu today!"
"What do you think—confident?"
As he finished, both Chen Yumin and Su Dahai turned to look at Su Mo.
Compared to Wang Meng, Wang Hu was far more dangerous.
From the information they had gathered, Wang Hu was an outright maniac.
If they could catch him today, the weight on all their hearts would finally be lifted.
"Interrogation isn't an issue," Su Mo replied.
Then he shook his head slightly.
"But I don't think we'll catch Wang Hu."
"Even if he was hiding nearby, the moment he heard the gunshot, he would've fled."
"And if he didn't hear the shot, Wang Meng's prolonged absence would still tip him off."
Su Mo was a master of psychology.
A quick analysis was all it took to make sense of the situation.
Wang Hu had been on the run this long—he definitely wasn't an idiot.
He was likely hyper-alert, and at the first sign of trouble, he would've vanished.
"Just as we expected," Chen Yumin nodded without surprise.
"Catching Wang Hu would be ideal. But even if we don't, we must locate his hideout."
"Any clue, any detail—that's crucial for our next steps."
Su Dahai and the others nodded in agreement.
Wang Meng was just the bait. What they really needed was more intel to lay a trap for Wang Hu.
Su Mo also nodded, indicating he understood.
Not long after, Wang Meng woke up.
Under the curious gazes of everyone in the car, Su Mo began a full hour of psychological breakdown work.
The result wasn't surprising:
They extracted three possible hideouts used by Wang Meng and Wang Hu.
Everyone who witnessed this first encounter with the "Speech Master" was utterly shaken.
They were lucky they knew Su Mo's identity.
Otherwise, no one would believe this guy was actually a cop!
Watching from the side, Chen Yumin's eyes lit up.
He had just attended a provincial-level meeting, where he ran into an old classmate from the Provincial Investigation Bureau.
That colleague mentioned a serious case that had hit a dead end due to lack of evidence.
The suspect refused to cooperate, and the team couldn't crack the case.
Everyone at the provincial level was at their wit's end.
"If there's an opportunity, I should send Su Mo over," Chen Yumin thought to himself.
"Getting exposure to provincial-level personnel early would be great for Su Mo's future."
He believed firmly that with Su Mo's incredible abilities, he'd have no trouble handling any interrogation.
More than that, he knew—Su Mo's potential would never be confined to a little city like Yunhai.
With only two months left in the year,
Yunhai City hadn't produced a "Top Ten Provincial Officer" in many years.
But Su Mo—this brand-new officer who had barely started—
He just might be the hope they'd been waiting for!
"Top Ten of the Province"…
Why not give it a shot?
