Chapter 2473: Chapter 2474: Thorn

“I’ll go have a look and give them a heads up.”

“Go ahead, I bet both of them are at their wits’ end.”

“Just overseeing a few rookies, why are they losing their heads?”

“With a couple of them having connections, you can neither hit nor scold them; your Brother Hui is about to be pissed to death.”

“They come here and still put on airs?”

“They’ve laid their base, completely out of control.” Zhu Junchi said with a laugh:

“We had a drink yesterday, and he vented to me all night.”

“I’ll go take a look.”

“Brother Zhu, let’s all go have a look, just finished eating, good for digestion.” Zhang Peng suggested.

“Sure.”

The three strolled leisurely towards the small training ground behind the precinct.

From a distance, they could see a group of people listening to Zhang Hui’s lecture in a loose and lax manner, without a hint of seriousness.

“Lin Bro!”

At that moment, Zhang Zixin saw Lin Yi, smiled, and greeted him, then walked over with Zhang Hui.

“How has your rest at home been these past few days?”

“Pretty good.”

Lin Yi gestured towards the twenty-something people standing not far away, “Aren’t they in training? Why do they look so undisciplined, both standing and sitting.”

“Don’t even mention it, some of them have backgrounds, some are former servicemen with good skills, too proud to take orders, not a single one listens. They’re way behind compared to your batch.” Zhang Hui said:

“If this keeps up, I’m going to get high blood pressure from anger.”

“Hey, just beat them up, simple as that.”

“There’s a clear rule against physical punishment, and many have connections, it’s not so straightforward to lay hands on them.”

“No worries, I’ll take care of it for you.” Lin Yi said with a smile:

“I’d really like to see who dares show off in front of me.”

“Don’t cause a ruckus.” Zhang Hui stopped him, “If something happens, you won’t be able to get away with it either.”

“No problem, I know what I’m doing.”

After dropping that line, Lin Yi walked towards the trainees.

“Look, the handsome guy is coming.” A girl with short hair said:

“Do you think he’ll give me his WeChat if I ask for it?”

The girl’s name was Zhao Xiaolei, from a somewhat influential family, and after graduating, she was assigned here.

“You’d have to mention your family’s situation; people these days are all about pragmatism.”

“That takes away the fun. I just want his WeChat for the sake of it. If he doesn’t give it, then forget it. I don’t like people who are too materialistic.” Zhao Xiaolei said.

“You people are really too superficial.”

A tall and burly man said, “People like them can’t provide a sense of security to a woman.”

The man speaking was Liu Tianji, who had retired from Zhonghai Garrison Area and was then assigned here.

Before coming here, the leaders had promised him that the closed training was just a formality, and that he would definitely be admitted in the end.

So, during the training sessions, he was complacent and indifferent.

“Old Liu, you’re stuck in the past. In today’s society, good looks are highly valued.”

“Alright, alright, stop talking, here he comes.”

Lin Yi approached, taking in the twenty-something people in front of him.

He couldn’t help but feel curious.

When he had joined, he was more impressive than them, but even he hadn’t been this arrogant.

“Handsome guy, what’s your WeChat? Can I add you?”

Huh?

Zhao Xiaolei’s approach left Lin Yi bewildered.

Asking for WeChat right off the bat, what does she think this place is?

Lin Yi glanced at Zhao Xiaolei.

“Is it not training time right now? Don’t you know that?”

“I know, but I just want a WeChat contact. It won’t take long.”

Lin Yi turned around, pointing at the police emblem on the building.

“Do you know where you are?”

“What’s with you? I’m just asking for a WeChat contact. Is it necessary to make such a big deal out of it? Even our instructors aren’t this strict.”

Zhang Hui and the others exchanged glances, then burst into laughter, looking as if they were watching an exciting show.

“Zhang Zixin.”

“Lin Bro,” Zhang Zixin responded.

“Kick this person out, there’s no need for them to stay.”

Upon hearing this, all the twenty-something trainees were stunned.

Nobody expected her to actually dismiss Zhao Xiaolei.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaolei was also dumbstruck, looking at Lin Yi in confusion, as this was beyond her expectations.

“What did you say? You want to dismiss me?”

“Can’t you understand human language?”

“Who do you think you are!” Zhao Xiaolei lost her temper, pointing at Lin Yi’s nose and saying:

“You think the sub-bureau is your family’s business? Our instructor is still standing right there, it’s not your place to speak!”

Zhang Hui’s expression turned serious and he said in a low voice:

“Zhang Zixin, do as he says, take Zhao Xiaolei off the records.”

“Understood, Brother Zhang.”

Seeing Zhang Hui say so, everyone else realized the seriousness of the matter.

“Fine, I’ll leave!” Zhao Xiaolei said:

“Don’t come begging me to come back later!”

“Don’t dream about it, if you could come back, I’d take your last name.”

After Zhao Xiaolei left, the remaining trainees looked at each other.

“I’ve heard about your situations, many of you have backgrounds in your families, but that’s useless here,” Lin Yi said:

“If you want this job, train properly. Those who don’t follow instructions, get out fast. This isn’t a place to play boss.”

Among the twenty-some people present, more than half had lived privileged lives before and couldn’t bear such provocation, all feeling dissatisfaction towards Lin Yi.

“Instructor Zhang, I’d like to know who this person is. He shouldn’t have the right to interfere with the training, right?” Liu Tianji said.

“He’s my colleague. Although he’s not part of the coaching team, what he says goes,” Zhang Hui said.

“If that’s the case, then I have nothing else to say,” Liu Tianji shrugged dismissively and said:

“But I want to ask, is he also in charge of our training?”

“Why do you ask that?”

“If he’s in charge, then I don’t think there’s any need for me to train.”

Lin Yi glanced at Liu Tianji and said in a low voice:

“Do you think you’re better than everyone else, so you don’t need to train?”

“I don’t think I’m better, but I do these exercises every day in the garrison area. I don’t feel the need to waste time here,” Liu Tianji said:

“Of course, if you’re replaced, then I can continue to train.”

“Haha…” The others burst into laughter, their eyes filled with mockery.

“From the tone of your voice, it seems like you have a big problem with me,” Lin Yi continued after a pause:

“Come out, let’s see what you’ve got. You can eat your meal any way you like but you need to be responsible for what you say.”

Liu Tianji stepped forward, holding his head high, looking arrogant.

At this point, he was still unaware of the gravity of the situation.

“So, you want to have a go with me?” Liu Tianji said:

“I’ve been in the garrison area before, and my overall level is much higher than theirs. Calling me out isn’t a wise choice. Better choose someone else. Don’t make trouble for yourself; it can be embarrassing.”
