The work and life at the police academy is busy and lively.

When on duty, they stay at the academy. Before dawn, they go downstairs to blow the whistle and assemble. After roll call for each area team is completed, they lead the students in morning exercises.

After the exercises, they wash up, eat, and then go to the communication room to read the newspaper for a while.

When school leaders go out on business or pick up people, if the car breaks down or there are not enough drivers, they call him at the communication room. If the logistics department needs to fix a door lock or change a light bulb, they also call the communication room.

The office and political office need to send documents to the Changhang Police Bureau or get documents from there. If they can't find a car or can't spare anyone, they also call the communication room. After all, he is not only skilled at fixing and driving cars, but he also bought a motorcycle, which makes getting around much more convenient.

It's no exaggeration to say "if there's an issue, look for Xiao Yu," which has become the consensus among the leadership and staff at the police academy.

But in the morning, "if there's an issue, look for Xiao Yu" is only between 7:30 and 9:45 because after that, he has to teach the physical fitness class to his students.

Crawling and tumbling, he even acts as a human punching bag for the students to spar with.

At noon, it's time to "look for Xiao Yu" again. The school is so large that there's always one thing or another needing attention.

The afternoon is similar to the morning, but with a few added recreational activities.

If there are cultural performances or the like, he has to rehearse with the students. Although he never learned vocal music, he was born with a good voice, and he sings his signature song "Song of the Yangtze River" with passion and vigor. Every time he takes the stage to sing, he wins a round of enthusiastic applause.

When there isn't a cultural performance to rehearse, he plays basketball with a group of male students. The Changhang Police System is about to host a basketball competition, and he is the undisputed forward!

The prospective police officers of the Changhang Police System cannot be landlubbers. When the weather is hot, he and a few other physical training instructors take the students swimming at East Lake.

The prospective police officers of the Changhang Police System also can't get seasick. Whenever there is time, he takes the students to experience the patrol boats of the Hanwu Branch. Unfortunately, the waves in the Yangtze Hanwu Section are too mild, making it tough to reproduce the feeling of seasickness that Political Commissioner Wang experienced back in the day.

In short, life at the police academy is rich and colorful, and Xiao Yu feels both fulfilled and accomplished.

Tonight he doesn't have to be on duty, so he heads home early.

Dad, Mom, and Yu Zhen are not back, probably busy at the market organizing the goods packed and shipped by the factory.

Xiao Yu checks the fridge and is about to go downstairs to buy groceries when his grandfather from Bailong Port calls.

"Grandpa, Yu Zhen and the others haven't come back yet, they're probably busy at the market."

"They haven't come back, right? It's the same if I tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"Aren't you and Yu Zhen planning to get married on the May Day holiday? I asked Instructor Li for you, and he definitely won't have a problem. He said he has been wanting to visit Hanwu to see how things are over there."

Old Qian puts on his reading glasses and flips through his notebook, then says, "I have no problem with it either, just like Captain Wang. We are both retired and have plenty of time. But Salted Fish, Ningning, Ming Yuan, and Zhang Lan, I guess they won't be able to get away and can't come."

Xiao Yu, frowning, asks, "Grandpa, did they tell you they can't come?"

"They didn't say, but do I need to ask?"

Old Qian takes out a cigarette and explains, "Salted Fish is now the director of the Development Zone Branch and is also in charge of attracting investment. Ningning is about to become the director of the Linghai Port Supervision Office and is busier than Salted Fish. Ming Yuan is now the deputy director of the Development Zone Branch, and Zhang Lan is the head accountant of the Police Bureau. You've worked in the police force before, you should know how busy they are."

If Salted Fish and Big Brother can't come, how can this wedding happen!

Xiao Yu gets anxious and asks in a low voice, "Then what should we do?"

Old Qian lights up a cigarette and laughs, "You two plan to hold the banquet in Hanwu, right? It's to invite people from our hometown to see Hanwu. Here's what I'm thinking: you and Yu Zhen come back here to Bailong Port to hold it. As for the market, let your dad and mom take care of it. It should only be a matter of three or four days, and there shouldn't be any problem."

Just like Grandpa said, they arranged the banquet in Hanwu as an opportunity to show off.

Xiao Yu feels embarrassed and scratches his neck, asking, "If just Yu Zhen and I go back, what are we going to do? We don't know anything, and there's also not enough time to prepare."

"Isn't that what I'm here for!"

With only one grandson, his wedding, an important occasion, must be organized beautifully.

Old Qian taps off the ash from his cigarette and smiles, "You and Yu Zhen just need to bring your new wedding clothes back, and I'll handle the rest, like arranging the banquet."

Xiao Yu thinks and then asks, "Grandpa, all the leaders and teachers at our school know we're getting married. If Yu Zhen and I go back to Bailong Port, what about the arrangement in Hanwu?"

"The arrangements in Hanwu will proceed as planned. Holding the banquet at our hometown doesn't affect holding it in Hanwu. You just need to stagger the timing."

"That could work. I'll discuss it with Yu Zhen and my parents when they get back."

"I haven't finished yet."

Old Qian smiles and continues, "You two intend to invite Instructor Li, Captain Wang, and your Master's wife to see Hanwu, right? You can absolutely buy the tickets for them in advance. After the banquet here in Bailong Port, you can take them to Hanwu for a few days."

Xiao Yu says joyfully, "That's right, Yu Zhen and I can bring them along. How come I didn't think of that!"

You're like playing in the police academy every day; of course, you wouldn't think of it.

Old Qian mutters to himself and laughs, "It's not too late to think of it now. Ask Yu Zhen and your parents later, if they have no objections, then it's decided. There will likely be many people holding weddings on the May Day holiday. Once you've discussed and decided, give me a call. I need to book the chef in advance."

"Grandpa, are you saying you'll hire a chef for the banquet at the Bailong Port Passenger Pier cafeteria?"

"Where do you want to go?"

"Lin Xiaohui always goes to Linghai Hotel for her birthday, and Salted Fish and Ningning also had their wedding at a big hotel."

"Go to Linghai Hotel? Do you think we have too much money?" As soon as we earned a little money, you forgot the hard times we suffered before. You even want to show off and make a scene. Old Qian was filled with displeasure.

Xiao Yu didn't want to listen to her grandfather on this matter and hesitated before saying, "Actually, I don't mind either way, it's mainly Yu Zhen who wants to have it at a big hotel. She also wants to wear a wedding dress like the ones in movies."

It's a different case if that girl Yu Zhen wants to go to a big hotel, after all, the money is earned by her.

Old Qian realized that he had no chance to be involved in the arrangements and could only say helplessly, "If Yu Zhen wants to go to a big hotel, then go to a big hotel. There seem to be only two or three big hotels in Linghai. First, you discuss it yourselves. Once you've made up your mind, I will call Instructor Li and ask for his help."

"Grandpa, there's no need to bother Instructor Li."

"I don't go to Linghai often and I'm not familiar with the big hotels there."

"You might not be familiar, but Lin Xiaohui and Liu Xiaomei are. Later, let Yu Zhen call them and ask; they will certainly help us arrange everything well."

...

Salted Fish and Ningning are back, and Boss Han couldn't resist the idea of switching to a bigger boat and was at Bailong Port today. He said to go out for dinner in the evening.

Old Qian hung up the phone, locked the door, and rode his bicycle to the residential area near the passenger pier.

Luo Yanfeng was busy in the kitchen while Sister Wei was holding Little Han Han at the door and talking to Chen Zikun's wife. Upon seeing Old Qian, she asked with a smile, "Old Qian, did you call Xiao Yu?"

"I did, just now."

"What did Xiao Yu say?"

"He said he liked the idea of coming back here to hold the wedding banquet, but he doesn't want to do it at Bailong Port; he wants to go to a big hotel!" Old Qian turned his head to look at the large cafeteria opposite and sighed lightly, "The child has grown up and has his own ideas. They don't listen to what I say."

He must feel that holding the event at a big hotel in Linghai wouldn't be as lively as doing it in Bailong Port. In fact, he even wanted to help with the arrangements because he had been looking forward to this day for years.

Now that it's out of his hands, he must be feeling very disappointed.

Sister Wei understood his feelings and chuckled, "Nowadays, young people's weddings are different from the past. If they can afford it, who wouldn't want to go to a big hotel? Besides, Salted Fish and Ningning had their wedding at a big hotel, setting a precedent that naturally others will follow."

"No matter, let them do it the way they want."

"How can you not care when your grandson is getting married? You should help invite the village leaders from Bailong Port, the old leaders, and neighbors from around here."

Old Qian was indeed feeling down and didn't want to continue the topic. He asked, "Director Wei, what about Salted Fish and Ningning? Couldn't they make it back after all?"

"They came back early and went straight to the shipyard."

"Did they go to talk about his father's ship replacement?"

"No." Sister Wei looked back, lowered her voice, and said, "Boss Wu and the accountant of the shipyard were arrested by Xin'an Police Department. All the account books and invoices were taken away as well."

"When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it!"

"They were arrested this afternoon. Old Han saw it clearly and immediately called Salted Fish. Salted Fish and Ningning weren't back yet; they went straight to the shipyard."

Boss Wu is actually a good person.

Having been neighbors for so many years, Old Qian didn't believe that Boss Wu would break the law. He eagerly asked, "Xin'an is under An Le's jurisdiction. Why is Xin'an Police Department coming to Binjiang to arrest people?"

Bailong Port Police Station was busy in the morning and had nothing much in the afternoon.

Zhang Ping came over with a wry smile and said, "They have the jurisdiction for the case and came with the proper procedures to inspect accounts and make arrests."

Old Qian had worked several years at the Yanjiang Police Station and was familiar with the police's case procedures. He insisted, "Does Four Factory Police Station know about it?"

"They do know."

Zhang Ping offered a cigarette and said, "They went to Linghai Police first, and Linghai Police had Four Factory Police Station assist. Chief Ding arranged for someone to accompany them to make the arrest."

Old Qian couldn't believe this was true and asked again, "What on earth happened? How could Boss Wu possibly break the law!"

"It seems to be an issue with invoices, but I don't know the specifics."

"Tax evasion?"

"Possibly."

"Have the people been taken away?"

"They have been taken away, but not far. Just now, they were taken to Four Factory Police Station. Director Yu and Boss Han chased after them; it's unclear whether they can stop the arrest."

Recalling how Salted Fish went to East Guang to apprehend someone the year before last, and East Guang didn't allow the arrest at first, Old Qian asked anxiously, "They came with official documents. Is it appropriate for Salted Fish to just go and stop them?"

"Why wouldn't it be appropriate?"

Zhang Ping lit a cigarette for Old Qian and patiently explained, "Boss Wu is not only from Four Factory but also an investor and principal in a factory in the development zone. Since Director Yu is both a leader in the development zone and the head of Development Zone Branch, when Xin'an Police came to arrest an enterprise person-in-charge from the development zone, of course, he needs to find out what's going on."
