Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Over the next few days, Xia Ru seemed to have vanished, and she surprisingly didn’t cause any more trouble.
Xia Wan, naturally, didn’t go looking for the document, and she didn’t get involved in the subsequent events.
As for Li Jin, with the words Xia Wan had left earlier and the police keeping an eye on her, the people from the psychiatric hospital wouldn’t dare to do anything to Li Jin.
They could just let her stay there quietly for a few days!
Half a month later, Xia Wan arrived at the police station.
“Miss Xia, you’re truly remarkable!” Deputy Police Chief Cai Jia tightly held Xia Wan’s hand and excitedly exclaimed.
Xia Wan’s expression remained unchanged, though she was somewhat surprised by the deputy chief’s enthusiasm.
She had received a call from Officer Song asking her to come to the county police station.
Xia Wan had initially thought she was needed to cooperate with the investigation of the psychiatric hospital, but she didn’t expect to be worshipped like a deity as soon as she entered.
Officer Song, standing next to Deputy Chief Cai, spoke with a smile, “Miss Xia, your report this time led to our successful bust of a human organ trafficking operation spanning three provinces!”
“You’re like our local lucky star!
“We’ve been pursuing this case for weeks without any progress, and we didn’t expect such a sudden and successful breakthrough!”
Xia Wan was stunned for a while before she finally understood what Officer Song meant.
“Is there really something wrong with that psychiatric hospital?” Although Xia Wan was a bit confused, she still raised the question.
“Other than the issue of qualifications, there wasn’t actually much wrong with the psychiatric hospital,” Officer Song explained.
“However, when we visited the facility, we found that patients there would die of sudden illness every three to five days.
“Therefore, we launched another round of investigations on these patients who died. It was at this time that we discovered traces of organ trafficking!
“We followed the clues and really caught a few of the leaders in one fell swoop!” Officer Song gushed proudly.
Cai Jia saw that Officer Song had stolen her limelight and immediately interrupted, “To acknowledge Miss Xia’s contribution, we’ve specially applied for a bravery medal and a courageous citizen award for you!”
The series of news shocked Xia Wan so much that her mouth could not help but open wide.
She thought that she was here to assist in the investigation, but she didn’t expect that she was here to receive the award.
“I heard that you are still studying, so we’ve decided to hold a commendation ceremony in school, with your approval, of course, Miss Xia,” Cai Jia continued. “Of course, we have already informed the school about this matter, and they will fully cooperate.”
After Cai Jia finished speaking, she glared at Officer Song. “If Xiao Song hadn’t said that Miss Xia likes to keep a low profile, we would have held the commendation ceremony at school today!”
Xia Wan couldn’t help but praise Deputy Chief Cai’s efficiency!
If it were in that era…
Xia Wan took a deep breath and said to Cai Jia, “Deputy Chief Cai, I’m just being a responsible citizen. I don’t need these commendations.”
“No, no, no! I specially went to the city and spent half a day applying for this!” Cai Jia was unhappy.
“This is a matter of national pride!
She even said that she wanted to ask for her opinion. This was clearly a forced purchase.
Xia Wan didn’t know how to refuse, and Officer Song was also urging her to agree.
The day of the commendation ceremony was set to be the following Monday.
The school had already made preparations early in the morning. All the students and teachers had gathered at the field.
One had to know that even when the entire school held a general meeting, they had never gathered everyone like this.
Just as the students were wondering what was going on, the principal walked up to the podium first.
“Students! I have great news! Our school has produced a brave citizen, a national hero!
“As the principal, I feel extremely honored and proud that our school has been able to nurture such an outstanding student!”
The students instantly boiled over. They whispered to each other, not knowing who the principal was talking about.
At this moment, the principal spoke again. “Students, please be quiet! Let us give a warm round of applause to our brave citizen, Xia Wan!” The principal’s words brought cheers from the students again.
Xia Wan walked up to the podium amidst the voices.
Facing the crowd, Xia Wan recited the acceptance speech that the teacher had prepared for her in the morning and took the certificate and bonus envelope from Cai Jia.
There was a round of applause from the audience, and many students were cheering..
