Chapter 37
The New Captain

Qi Tong Wei sighed and shook his head, saying, "Some things are not within our control. You need to trust the organization and obey its arrangements."

Jia Chang Fu snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "The organization? Is this how the organization treats someone who has made outstanding contributions to the anti-drug cause?"

Qi Tong Wei shook his head helplessly, knowing that Jia Chang Fu's stubborn personality wouldn't easily accept this arrangement.

But he also understood that he had a responsibility to help Jia Chang Fu through this difficult period.

“Stay calm. I know this decision is hard to accept for you, but believe me, it's not personally targeted at you. Trust the organization, trust our public security system. Your abilities and contributions are recognized by the organization.” Qi Tong Wei tried to comfort Jia Chang Fu.

However, Jia Chang Fu did not calm down because of this.

Standing up, he stared at Qi Tong Wei with piercing eyes: "I know you mean well. But I can't accept this arrangement. I'll prove my worth my own way!"

With that, Jia Chang Fu turned and left the office.

Leaving Qi Tong Wei alone, sighing in the room.

Jia Chang Fu's personality meant that he wouldn't easily give up his beliefs and pursuits.

But he also understood that this kind of personality might make his future path even more difficult.

The news spread quickly within the anti-drug squad.

The team members all felt injustice for Jia Chang Fu, wondering why such a meritorious captain would be treated like this.

For a time, the atmosphere within the anti-drug squad became tense.

After the news of Jia Chang Fu's demotion spread, several small groups began to form within the anti-drug squad.

These groups centered around Jia Chang Fu, filled with deep affection for him.

They believed in Jia Chang Fu's ability and character, and they also believed that he could lead them to a brighter future.

However, reality was not so rosy.

After being demoted to a regular clerk, Jia Chang Fu's work permissions and responsibilities were severely limited.

He could no longer participate directly in anti-drug operations as before, nor could he provide guidance or make decisions on the anti-drug team's work.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow for him.

One day, during a meeting.

Jia Chang Fu stood before everyone, his expression solemn: “Comrades, we must maintain a sense of the bigger picture, obey the organization's arrangements, and not let personal emotions affect the entire team.”

Qi Tong Wei sat in the corner, his gaze calm and profound.

He knew the importance of this meeting.

He stood up and said concisely and forcefully: “I agree with Captain Jia’s point of view. We are a team, and we must unite and face the challenges together.”

Qi Tong Wei's speech made people look at him with new respect, attempting to integrate into this new team in this way.

However, he knew in his heart that to gain a foothold in this team, he needed to make more effort.

After the meeting, Qi Tong Wei actively approached Jia Chang Fu, saying sincerely: “Captain Jia, I'm new here, and there are still many things I don't understand. I hope you can provide some guidance.”

Jia Chang Fu looked at Qi Tong Wei, a hint of appreciation in his eyes, but more of it was vigilance.

He knew that Qi Tong Wei's background was not simple, but as a veteran policeman, he valued ability and character more.

“We all work hard for the cause of public security. As long as you can contribute to the team, I will naturally support you fully.” While Jia Chang Fu's words were short, they gave Qi Tong Wei confidence.

Qi Tong Wei was delighted, knowing that he had taken his first step.

He invited Jia Chang Fu to dinner, hoping to use this opportunity to further close the distance between them.

During dinner, the two of them clinked glasses and the atmosphere gradually became amicable.

Jia Chang Fu seemed to be moved by Qi Tong Wei's sincerity and began to open up.

He talked about his past experiences, those glorious moments and setbacks.

Qi Tong Wei listened attentively, nodding in agreement from time to time.

After a few drinks, Jia Chang Fu became slightly tipsy.

He sighed and said, “This adult world is really not easy. We are all rushing about for a living every day. Sometimes, it really makes you feel tired.”

Qi Tong Wei was moved, knowing that Jia Chang Fu was confiding his troubles.

He put down his glass and said earnestly, "I understand how you feel. But we must also understand that life is like this."

Jia Chang Fu looked at Qi Tong Wei, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He never expected that Qi Tong Wei would say such a thing.

He nodded and said, “You're right, we need to face difficulties bravely. But sometimes, this workplace stuff is really a headache.”

Qi Tong Wei smiled slightly, knowing that Jia Chang Fu was hinting at him.

He said, “Don't worry, I will do my best to contribute to the team.”

Jia Chang Fu felt a warmth in his heart after hearing this. He felt that this new captain seemed genuinely good.

He raised his glass and said, “Good! Then let's work together! For the bright future of public security!”

The two clinked glasses and drank, their laughter echoing in the night.

Late at night, the two finished their dinner.

After seeing Jia Chang Fu back to his residence, Qi Tong Wei returned to his dormitory alone.
