77: Chapter 76 These kinds of people need to be dealt with ideologically.
Officer Zhao Jun was still quite apprehensive today, especially regarding the powerful execution demonstrated by that figure who had been mentioned several times in recent bureau meetings.
Officer Zhao Jun felt that this mission was significant. Director Jiang had given him the task of performing ideological work on the target while observing whether his behavior showed any signs of extreme emotions.
Originally, Officer Zhao Jun hadn't wanted to come, but he had no choice; as the Political Instructor, this was his job. It was a matter of professional alignment.
"Um, Mr. Li, it's like this—we just wanted to ask if you've had any thoughts about taking on a part-time job lately."
As soon as Officer Zhao Jun spoke, Li Changsheng became even more confused.
At first, he thought the man was from Shenzhen, but it turned out he was from this province. And he came all this way just to ask if he wanted a part-time job?
"This... what do you mean?" Li Changsheng asked, puzzled.
"It’s like this. I'm here representing both the bureau and the city to inquire with you, Mr. Li. We've watched your videos and noticed you have very unique insights in the Domain of combat.
To be honest, the city's Boxing team has never performed very well, so we wanted to see if Mr. Li would be willing to go to the city to give them some pointers. Of course, if you're willing, we can provide a monthly teaching allowance of eight thousand yuan."
Officer Zhao Jun rattled off the speech he had prepared in advance; this was the decision reached after discussions between the city and the bureau.
As the saying goes, 'Comfort leads to vice, while hardship leads to crime.'
No one could guarantee that such a dangerous individual, if left with nothing to do, wouldn't use people to practice his moves or vent his internal frustrations.
"Uh... I don't have any plans for that at the moment. As you can see, I have limited mobility right now. Let's talk about it later."
Li Changsheng felt it was a bit strange.
It was impossible for such a large province to be unable to find a single professional coach; even if they couldn't, they could surely poach one from elsewhere in the country.
Moreover, he wasn't specifically a boxer. Although mastery in one area often translates to others, he truly had no such intentions right now.
"Right now, I should focus on recovering from my injuries as quickly as possible and resolving the cancer issue. After that, I need to prepare for the Breakthrough to Hidden Power. I simply don't have time for anything else."
Li Changsheng thought to himself. He also really enjoyed this rural scenery; the effects of his Vajra Longevity Qigong Cultivation were doubled here, and the feedback from his Internal Alchemy Meditation was better than ever before.
Li Changsheng felt he would have to be out of his mind to leave this place.
Hearing this, Officer Zhao Jun wasn't in a hurry and continued to engage him in conversation.
Their conversation consisted of nothing more than trivial daily matters, occasionally interspersed with various anecdotes.
At first, Li Changsheng was very confused. This police officer wasn't asking a single thing about official business, but was asking all sorts of random nonsense. What was this about?
But as they gradually got into the conversation, he stopped minding it.
After chatting for a full hour, Officer Zhao Jun finally stood up to leave, looking satisfied.
"Mr. Li, this is my office number. If you have any troubles, you can talk to me. I don't have many hobbies; I just like to chat."
"Uh, okay, sure."
Taking the business card handed to him, Li Changsheng saw off the strange police officer with a complicated expression.

Walking out of the courtyard, Officer Zhao Jun exchanged glances with the other two men. They walked out of the village in silence until they reached the village entrance and got into their car, only then unable to hold back.
"Old Zhao, based on your judgment, what kind of personality does this Li Changsheng have? Do we need to give him special attention?"
"Yeah, did he agree to that plan?"
The people accompanying Officer Zhao Jun were all officers from the Criminal Investigation Detachment. They were there both to protect Officer Zhao Jun and to understand the situation.
Officer Zhao Jun glanced at the two impatient men and shook his head. He then spoke calmly and unhurriedly, "He didn't agree. However, based on my observations, his personality is quite good.
He doesn't have much of a psychological rejection of the state or our police force. However, he is quite sensitive regarding his only relative, his grandmother.
Every time I mentioned his grandmother, there would be subtle changes in his expression. Of course, this is a good thing; it shows he has ties and concerns.
So, as long as we conduct regular visits or casual chats to ensure his state of mind doesn't undergo any major changes during a certain period, it will be fine."
"Phew!"
Hearing this, the two Criminal Investigation Detachment officers both let out a long sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good. I really don't understand the videos of this guy."
"Tell me about it. When our brothers in Shenzhen said he was an extremely dangerous element, I didn't think much of it. He's just a man with two arms and two legs, isn't he?
But that Card Throwing... his speed feels faster than my draw speed. I feel like if we both moved at the same time, I wouldn't even have a chance to pull my gun."
"Yeah, when Old Zhao was inside, my heart was in my throat. I was terrified he'd throw a card at Old Zhao, and we wouldn't even have a chance to help."
"Go on, aren't you just trying to jinx me?" Officer Zhao Jun immediately laughed and cursed. These guys were showing less and less respect for him as their Political Instructor.
"Old Zhao, it's just that this guy is too powerful. Beyond ten paces, he has his Card Throwing; within five paces, he has such strong combat ability.
I feel like even if the two of us had guns, it might not be effective against him."
These words struck a chord with the other detective.
Although they were all trained, they couldn't compare to the elites in the military.
If you talked about draw speed, there were certainly people faster than Li Changsheng's Card Throwing, and quite a few at that. But the police bureau needed well-rounded talents, not just firearms experts.
It was impossible for the bureau to specifically assign such an elite—who usually wouldn't be needed—just to keep an eye on Li Changsheng.
"Alright, enough talk. Let's head back and tell everyone the good news."
Officer Zhao Jun said with a smile. For the past few days, Director Jiang had spent quite a few brain cells worrying about this matter.
He is a hero, after all. You can't just monitor him or restrict his personal freedom simply because he's powerful. Now that the situation has changed, everyone can put their hearts at ease.
On the contrary, Director Lu and the others in Shenzhen were now delighted. Ever since Li Changsheng left and that extreme murderer died, they had naturally become much more relaxed.

Li Changsheng didn't take the matter of the strange Officer Zhao too much to heart; upon careful thought, he could understand some of the reasons.
But it didn't matter. The most important thing now was to eradicate the cancer and quickly get his body back in top shape.
For several days in a row, Li Changsheng followed an unwavering routine: Vajra Qigong in the morning and Longevity Qigong in the evening. Most of the time in between was spent Cultivating Internal Alchemy Meditation.
Since his grandmother was retired at home, she didn't have much to do besides tending to several vegetable plots for their own use. Aside from Cultivating Vajra Longevity Qigong, she was busy with Li Changsheng's daily life and healthy diet.
Li Changsheng had tried to offer to do it himself, but the little old lady was very stubborn.
But truth be told, the old lady's cooking was impeccable. In Li Changsheng's eyes, every dish his grandmother made was better than any delicacy on earth.
"If this continues, even Vajra Qigong won't be able to suppress my weight gain."
Patting his non-existent little belly, Li Changsheng let out a long sigh.
Just then, his phone rang. He answered it and then remembered—it was the call from the Moving Company.
"Mr. Li, my truck has already reached the village entrance. Is it convenient for you to come out and give us directions to your house?"
