Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 713: Chapter 319: Blade Special Ops

Everyone boarded the bus and headed to the airport together.

By the time they flew from Ningzhou to Jingzhou, it was already 4 PM.

The Ministry of Public Security specially sent personnel and vehicles to receive everyone and arrange for their stay at the guesthouse, and also organized a dinner.

At the dinner, Gu Ji and the others saw an old friend: Zhao Bai from Dianyun’s anti-drug team.

He then realized.

The 324 operation was completed together, and when it comes to rewards and recognition, the anti-drug team can’t be left out.

After nearly a month and a half, meeting again inevitably made them excited.

However, everyone tactfully avoided talking about the sacrifice of Officer Wang Chaoyang, as if afraid of falling back into those painful memories.

After dinner, everyone was free to go about their activities.

Since Gu Ji’s home was in Jingzhou and no one wanted to stay cooped up in the guesthouse, he had his mom borrow an MPV thinking to take Gao Bo, Wu Kang, Liu Weijun, and the others around Jingzhou.

Especially Zhao Hua, due to his quiet nature, didn’t like group tours and had never been to Jingzhou.

"Mom, over here!"

Standing at a street corner near the guesthouse, Gu Ji waved after seeing a black Buick GL8 approaching.

The car slowly stopped, and out stepped a short-haired woman wearing a light green blouse, looking notably smart and valiant. It was Gu Ji’s mom, Dong Ying.

"Hello, Auntie!"

Gao Bo was the first to nod and greet her with a smile.

Wu Kang and the others followed suit, all greeting her politely, and their eyes showing a bit of surprise, not expecting Gu Ji’s mother to be so young and charming, explaining a lot about Gu Ji’s good genes.

"Hello, welcome to Jingzhou!"

Looking at these colleagues beside her son, Dong Ying smiled slightly, her lips pursed lightly.

"Gu Ji is always so mischievous and often gets into trouble, hasn’t he given you guys a lot of trouble?"

"Auntie, not at all. Gu Ji performs excellently in our team!"

"Yes, Auntie, if Gu Ji wasn’t doing his job, we would truly be ashamed of ourselves. The reason we could come to Jingzhou for the commendation meeting was all thanks to him. Without Gu Ji turning the tide in the operation, we might have already..."

"Eh? Cough, cough, cough..."

Seeing Zhou Yang about to spill the beans, Gu Ji hurriedly coughed heavily twice to interrupt him.

After joining the police force, Gu Ji generally only shared the good news with his family, especially after his dad’s plane accident.

However, Gu Ji’s small tricks couldn’t possibly escape the keen eyes of Dong Ying, an experienced detective.

She gave him a sharp glare, then smiled and looked at Zhou Yang, "It’s okay. Zhou Yang, go on. What about Gu Ji during the operation? He usually doesn’t talk much about his work with me."

"Ah, well..."

Zhou Yang scratched his head, unsure whether to continue or not, and could only sneak a look at Gu Ji.

At this moment, Gu Ji, who was usually bold and fearless, was now shrinking like a helpless chick, not daring to make a sound.

He couldn’t help it; he came from a family of a gentle father and a strict mother.

Growing up, Gu Ji had suffered much under the "tyranny" of his mother.

Without any cues from Gu Ji, Zhou Yang was forced to recount everything honestly.

Despite her years of experience as a police officer, Dong Ying couldn’t help but have her pupils constrict after hearing everything.

Because the 324 kidnapping case was assigned to her own major crimes unit, and she was somewhat aware of the plans arranged by her superiors. At the time, she heard the Ministry of Public Security was entrusting the rescue operation to the Ningzhou City Bureau’s Dragon and Tiger Assault Team, so she repeatedly reminded Gu Ji to be careful before departure.

But the entire operation was conducted with utmost secrecy and independence.

Dong Ying wasn’t privy to the specific details, only knowing the operation was successful at the end. She had even informed her son in advance that they would be coming to the Ministry of Public Security for the commendation meeting.

Considering her past visits to the capital were strictly for work, she assumed the accolades were mainly for the Dragon Tiger main assault team, and her son was just tagging along.

She never expected that Gu Ji, at his young age, was almost about to receive two first-class merits?

"Gu Ji, you did well this time."

"Mom, I... huh?"

Gu Ji thought his mom would scold him for not telling the whole truth, but surprisingly, she just gently said this one sentence.

He raised his head to see his mom’s eyes slightly red, looking at him with a mother’s concern, but even more so with pride and comfort, as if at this moment, she truly felt he had "grown up."

"Alright, I won’t delay your outing. Gu Ji, here are the keys. Be safe and show your friends a good time!"

"Thank you, Auntie!"

"Mom, how will you get back?"

Gu Ji took the keys, only halfway through the question.

Unexpectedly, Dong Ying waved her hand, "Don’t worry about me. I just reconnected with an old classmate who’s also staying here. We haven’t met in over a decade. I just messaged him."

"An old classmate?"

Gu Ji raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the entrance of the guesthouse, eyes wide open.

He never expected that the old classmate mom mentioned was actually Zhao Bai!

He felt a chill down his spine.

Fortunately, he didn’t lie earlier. If his mom met Mr. Zhao and they talked a bit, he’d be completely exposed, and the consequences would be much worse.

Gao Bo and the others also exchanged glances.

Unable to hold back, they asked, "Gu Ji, do you think Auntie might run into Zhang Zhong or Mr. Li while talking?"

Zhou Yang shivered abruptly, "Tsk! Stop saying that, it feels like a meeting between parents and teachers at primary school, too scary!"

After going out for fun that night.

The next day.

Sure enough, before heading to the Ministry of Public Security, Zhang Wenjun and Li Ruilin both gave him a special look, as if they "understood him even more."

It seemed mom really met them.

Thinking of this, Gu Ji lowered his head and sat obediently in the back row of the bus.

At this moment, Wu Kang suddenly spoke up, "By the way, have you guys heard? Today besides the Ministry of Public Security’s commendation meeting, it seems the Ministry of Emergency Management is also holding a commendation meeting. I heard there’s a rescue warrior who executed a rescue operation in Pakistan that amazed the world!"
