Chapter 165: How Many Ranks of Officials
Su Hui has been studying at the city’s police headquarters for almost a month now, absorbing a wealth of knowledge. She felt eager to put her new skills into practice and return to her post as soon as possible. However, her superiors were hesitant to let her leave, leaving her baffled. How long was this closed training supposed to last? It had already been almost a month, was the higher-ups planning on keeping her cooped up here indefinitely?
Soon, Su Hui received a transfer notice claiming that she was talented with immense potential, and should express her talents where she was needed more—implying a relocation to another city.
Su Hui was stunned. Clearly, they were trying to remove her from the picture, preventing her involvement—but why? Hadn’t that matter already been resolved? Unless they had other plans.
She wondered, were they trying to get her out of the way to harm Gu Fan? Then, shouldn’t she certainly refuse to leave?
So, Su Hui turned down the offer. She explained that she had attended university in this city and had no desire to leave, willing to dedicate her youth here.
Of course, the higher-ups did not force her to move to another city, but demanded she stayed at the headquarters rather than returning to her previous bureau. And they were quite adamant about it; she had to obey their arrangements.
Su Hui had no option but to compromise. Last time, they transferred her from criminal police to civic police, and now they moved her from the bureau to the headquarters—step by step, they seemed to hinder her from interfering in some hidden agenda.
The area where Gu Fan lived and his school used to be under the jurisdiction of Su Hui’s bureau. Moving her out entirely indicated a clear intention—if anything happened, she wouldn’t be able to take control of the case immediately.
Su Hui hoped she was overthinking. Even if she couldn’t handle it directly, she still lived near Gu Fan. She wasn’t entirely helpless.
But what troubled Su Hui was the extent of the hidden forces behind all this. They had connections even inside the police headquarters and could easily transfer positions at will.
Now Su Hui’s adversaries weren’t just the people behind the scenes, but also the higher-ups. Power crushes beneath its weight, and she knew she couldn’t stand against them. When confronted with a problem, she thought of Yuan Cheng.
