Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 1220 - 75: Rival!

Previously, he had hoped every day for the branch bureau to be established soon. Now that it's officially established, Han Yu realizes that apart from wearing the police uniform, nothing seems to have changed.

He's still organizing training sessions daily, there's temporarily no boat, and there's no need to handle cases. He spends all his time at Lang Mountain, not needing to go to the bureau. The training courses are different, and not all classes are in the camp, so as a director, Han Yu suddenly becomes idle.

Just as he was feeling restless and was busy helping the Changhang Bureau and Maritime Bureau maintain the law enforcement boats, a car slowly drove to the end of the road at the anti-smuggling dock pier.

The Port Supervision Bureau turned into the Maritime Bureau.

The supervision boats also became sea patrol boats.

Xiao Wu, the driver of the Sea Patrol 48 boat, handed over a wrench and said: "Secretary Han, it seems like someone is looking for you."

Taking the wrench, while tightening the bolts, Han Yu asked puzzledly: "Who's looking for me?"

"Looks like a Customs car, wait—two armed police are here!"

"What armed police?"

Repairing machines really gives a sense of achievement.

Han Yu was busy and thoroughly engrossed; the engine room of the sea patrol boat was small, so he was neither able nor willing to go up to check.

Xiao Wu could drive the boat but not repair it, so he stood on the deck helping out, watching several people approaching, murmuring: "Secretary Han, there's also one in Customs uniform. Looks a bit like Director Li from the Customs Supervision Department."

"Director Li is here?"

"It really is Director Li. Secretary Han, why don't you come up first."

"I'll come up later, just need to tighten these bolts."

As he spoke, Director Li and an armed police lieutenant and a soldier jumped onto the flat barge, smiling at the sea patrol boat and asked: "Xiao Wu, is Secretary Han around?"

"It really is Director Li. Secretary Han is helping us repair the boat."

"Han Yu, Han Yu!"

"Yes, coming."

Han Yu tightened the last bolt, poked his head out, gestured to Xiao Wu to start the engine in the cabin, and jokingly asked: "Director Li, why did you think of coming here? Is there something the matter?"

A prestigious full department level cadre, yet looking like a mechanic covered in oil.

Director Li said with amused dismay: "Come up here first, let's talk when you're up."

"Alright."

Han Yu climbed to the deck, leaned over to pick up a rag, wiped his hands while sizing up the armed police lieutenant, hopped onto the flat barge curiously asking: "Director Li, who are these two gentlemen?"

With a smile, Director Li introduced: "This is Squad Leader Zhang Xiaojun, stationed at Binjiang Customs. This is Armed Police Squad Leader Yang Shengkui. The main troop will arrive next month; they are ordered by their superiors to come and familiarize themselves with the situation, here for training first."

"Welcome, both of you. My hands are dirty, so I won't shake hands."

"Hello Director Han, our superiors ordered us to report to you, awaiting your instructions!"

This was the first time the military arranged personnel to be stationed at Customs. Zhang Xiaojun was extremely excited. After arriving at Binjiang Customs with the squad leader who led the advance team, attending the meeting, and being assigned to the smuggling crime investigation branch's water anti-smuggling department, he was more excited than before.

Knowing that those who came together would primarily be responsible for leading the stationed units in the customs supervision area or assisting the Customs Investigation Bureau to inspect suspicious ships and containers once the main troop arrived. But coming to the water anti-smuggling department was different; he could work with the anti-smuggling police.

Yet looking at Director Han of the water anti-smuggling department, who looked nothing like a leader, more like a grimy mechanic, he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

Han Yu was unaware that he had left a poor first impression, and asked with a smile: "Squad Leader Zhang, you came to be stationed at Customs, not our branch bureau?"

"Reporting to Director Han, our superiors ordered us to report to you, not to the smuggling crime investigation branch."

"Director Li, what's going on?"

"Your water anti-smuggling department is different from the Investigation Department. Moreover, the superior explicitly stated the armed police are stationed at our customs, not much related to the smuggling crime investigation bureau."

It's interesting to think about only assigning armed police to Customs, and not to the smuggling crime investigation bureau.

Han Yu couldn't understand what the superior was thinking, and asked with a smile: "Squad Leader Zhang, how many soldiers are you planning to bring to our water anti-smuggling department?"

"An enhanced squad, including myself, a total of fifteen."

"When will the others arrive?"

"On the 2nd of next month."

At this moment, the Sea Patrol 48 suddenly roared with the engine sound.

Han Yu turned around, saw Xiao Wu giving an OK gesture, and smiled while saying: "The wind on the river is strong, not a place to talk. Come, let's take you to the camp area for a look."

"Yes!"

"Director Li, please."

"No need for formalities, we're not outsiders."

The four of them walked along the pier back to shore.

Han Yu was dirty, not wanting to ride in a car, simply walked up the hill.

Director Li was left with no choice but to follow him uphill, and after walking less than a kilometer, he was panting heavily.

Han Yu slowed down his pace, laughing as he walked: "Squad Leader Zhang, where is your hometown?"

"I'm from Jianfu, my hometown is by the sea, so the superior asked me to bring the team to report to you."

"Have you ever been on a boat or out to sea?"

"No."

"Can you swim?"

"Yes."

"Squad Leader Yang, what about you?"

"Reporting to Director Han, I'm from Beihu, I've never seen the sea, but my home is by the Yangtze River, and I can swim."

"Which part of Beihu is your hometown?"

"Angong County."

"That's interesting, I've been to your hometown and know the county leaders there."

Yang Shengkui sincerely respected Han Yu and quickly said: "Director Li mentioned on the way that you led a team to our hometown to help during the flood, Director Han, thank you for helping us save our home."

Han Yu asked curiously: "Was your home flooded?"
