Seeing Yang Guoming and Su Dahai rushing out in a hurry, Su Mo was momentarily stunned.
He had heard that whenever Yang Guoming went to meetings, he usually wore a long face.
But this time, he seemed cheerful—what could possibly be so good?
While Su Mo was still wondering,
a police officer walked over and smiled at both Su Mo and Liu Yuqing, saying:
"Let's go, I'll take you back to the Nancheng Police Station first."
"Thanks for the trouble, Song Wenshan."
Su Mo returned to his senses and smiled with a nod when he saw who it was.
Song Wenshan was a seasoned officer at the Nancheng Police Station.
Just a few days ago, Su Mo had learned a lot about office procedures from him,
and the two had a decent relationship.
"Haha, come on, what's with the politeness?"
"You've done such a big thing today. Who knows, someday I might not even qualify to drive you anymore!"
Then, lowering his voice sneakily, Song Wenshan added:
"Su Mo, the higher-ups are off at the end-of-year meeting. Looks like something major is brewing."
"If there's any good news coming our way, don't forget your old buddy here, alright?"
Though Su Mo was a rookie officer,
he was ridiculously good at catching criminals and solving cases,
already earning several major merits.
Anyone with eyes could tell—this guy was going places.
Song Wenshan didn't even dream of matching Su Mo's achievements;
he'd be happy just to ride his coattails a little.
"Don't worry, Song Wenshan. If something good comes up, I'll definitely remember you."
Su Mo winked with a knowing smile.
He wasn't a master at handling social situations,
but he wasn't clueless either.
"Hahaha, when we get back, dinner's on me!"
Song Wenshan laughed heartily.
As they chatted, they arrived at the car, and Song Wenshan started it up.
Vroooom.
The soft purr of the engine made Su Mo's fingers twitch involuntarily.
He felt a sudden itch to drive.
But after glancing at the steering wheel, he quickly shook his head.
Forget it—driving without a license was a no-go.
With Song Wenshan driving, Su Mo sat in the front passenger seat.
Meanwhile, Liu Yuqing—still lost in thought about how Su Mo rose through the ranks so quickly—
sat in the back, puzzled.
She just couldn't figure it out.
Finally, unable to contain herself, she asked:
"Su Mo, what kind of criminals did you catch to rise through the ranks this fast?"
"I've been thinking and thinking, and I still don't get it."
Su Mo froze for a moment—how was he supposed to answer that?
He'd caught so many criminals he'd lost count.
But before Su Mo could say anything,
Song Wenshan, who was driving, lit up at the question and grinned:
"Ah, who doesn't know this one!"
"Su Mo caught forty-eight thieves on his first day at work! Then later on..."
As he spoke, Song Wenshan animatedly recounted every detail of Su Mo's achievements.
Even though it didn't have much to do with him directly,
he still felt proud to be in the same station as Su Mo.
Telling others about it? That was bragging rights!
So, along the way, Song Wenshan's storytelling painted a vivid picture,
and Liu Yuqing was completely stunned.
This... this sounded like a fantasy drama!
Undercover missions, becoming a "Thief King," intense interrogations, barehanded takedowns of armed criminals—
it was wilder than anything out of a movie!
Su Mo smiled.
At least now he didn't have to explain himself.
Once things quieted down, he suddenly remembered—
he had just unlocked a new skill he hadn't tested yet.
Thinking of this, Su Mo activated Criminal Perception.
Immediately, a radar-like interface lit up in his mind.
Within a 120-square-meter radius, everyone nearby had a tag:
[Song Wenshan, Police Officer – No Criminal Record]
[Liu Yuqing, Narcotics Unit – No Criminal Record]
This high-tech, sci-fi-like scene amazed Su Mo.
With this ability, no criminal could ever hide from him again.
Just then, Liu Yuqing, who had been listening in awe to Su Mo's story,
finally understood why he had risen so fast.
Of course!
The guy had accomplished more in a week than she had in years.
No wonder he got promoted so quickly.
Still, she wasn't jealous—she admired him.
Su Mo really knew his stuff.
Her expression turned serious as she looked at Su Mo and said:
"Su Mo, I already spoke with Bureau Chief Chen. There's a major case we might need your help with."
"What kind of case?"
Su Mo asked, puzzled.
Bureau Chief Chen hadn't mentioned anything to him yet.
"It's a major drug case—on the provincial level."
Liu Yuqing's tone turned grave:
"Recently, our narcotics unit apprehended a member of a drug trafficking organization named Zhang Penghao."
"According to intel, a huge quantity of drugs is about to hit the market."
"We're certain Zhang Penghao knows the hiding spot, but we don't have solid evidence."
"Right now, we don't even have concrete proof of his crimes, so we can only detain him for 24 hours."
"The case is massive—probably involving over a hundred people."
"But despite having clues, we can't break Zhang Penghao's silence."
"And with no hard evidence, we can't hold him long. All we can do is make sure he doesn't leave the provincial capital."
"That's why..."
Liu Yuqing looked directly at Su Mo, her voice resolute:
"We need your help interrogating Zhang Penghao. Get the location of the hidden drugs.
If they hit the streets, it'll be a catastrophe."
Hearing all this, Su Mo furrowed his brows deeply.
This case was far more serious than he'd expected.
Over a hundred people involved—and drugs?
If they reached the market, countless families would be ruined.
"No problem. I'll give it a shot."
Without hesitation, Su Mo nodded firmly.
"As long as Zhang Penghao is still in the city, I can start tomorrow."
He had confidence in his Speech Master skill.
"Don't worry, he's under constant surveillance. He won't be going anywhere."
Liu Yuqing smiled in relief at Su Mo's agreement.
Just then—
while they were stopped at a red light—
Su Mo's expression suddenly froze.
He turned to look at a sports car in the next lane.
[Zhang Penghao – Drug Dealer – Sin Value: 300]
[Li Linfei – Trafficking Associate – Sin Value: 300]
"You said Zhang Penghao wears glasses, looks gentle—like a teacher?"
Su Mo turned to Liu Yuqing urgently.
"Yeah. You've seen him?"
Liu Yuqing looked surprised.
"Song Wenshan!"
"Stop that car—Zhang Penghao is inside!"
Su Mo shouted without hesitation.
Liu Yuqing's expression also changed drastically.
"Stop him! If he's sneaking out of the city, it's definitely related to that drug shipment!"
