9: One hundred thousand bonus in one day

Child abduction cases.

Not only were the parents concerned, but the Police were also deeply invested. Watching Sun Chaohui and Sun Shuai reunite deeply touched all the Traffic Police at the Traffic Police Center.

A younger female officer's eyes welled up, and she wiped away tears with a tissue.

"Gao Ze, you've done a great deed!"

Captain Zhou Weiguo let out a long sigh, looking at Gao Ze with unconcealed surprise:

"You just apprehended the wanted criminal Liu Yaozong, and now you've helped Sun Chaohui find his son Sun Shuai. Your case-solving speed is too fast, how long has it been?!"

"How did you find Sun Shuai?"

"Just luck!"

Gao Ze had already thought of an answer on the way, saying half-truthfully:

"I often go to Jiajie Decoration Store in Pudong District after work to buy some hardware. Today, I unexpectedly ran into a new employee named Zhou Peng at their store."

"I thought he looked very similar to the wealthy Sun Chaohui, so I guessed that this Zhou Peng was Sun Shuai, Sun Chaohui's son who was abducted twenty years ago. Upon inquiry, I found that Zhou Peng indeed had no parents and was raised by his grandparents."

"You little rascal, you must be a lucky charm, with such good fortune!"

"The wealthy Sun Chaohui's son, Sun Shuai, was found so easily by you, yet our city's Criminal Police Brigade has had no results for over ten years."

Zhou Weiguo's eyes widened. Even he envied Gao Ze's luck.

He just casually bought some hardware and discovered Sun Shuai, whom the Criminal Police Brigade hadn't found in over ten years.

This was a great achievement, and Sun Chaohui, as a famous wealthy man in Donghai City, would certainly not be stingy with Officer Gao.

Ah, getting money and credit—he hadn't encountered such a good thing in his twenty-plus years as a Police officer.

"Good luck, good luck!"

Gao Ze smiled inwardly. The intelligence system was indeed his invincible cheat code that changed his fate. In just a few hours, it had already earned him the envy of countless people at the Traffic Police Center, as well as a considerable income.

In a few more months, with time, he would definitely be able to change his current impoverished situation.

He would own his own home and car in Donghai City, and rise in rank within the Police force, no longer just a small Traffic Police officer.

"Your luck isn't just something our Traffic Police Brigade can envy; it's going to make those Criminal Police envious, jealous, and hateful."

"Abduction cases are originally the responsibility of the Criminal Police. Old Liu, go to the Criminal Police Brigade and call Captain Shen Gang over. Tell him that this kid Gao Ze has helped their Criminal Police Brigade solve another case."

Zhou Weiguo waved his hand, signaling someone to invite Captain Shen Gang of the Criminal Police Brigade.

Five minutes later.

Shen Gang arrived at the Traffic Police Brigade with a few Criminal Police officers.

After registering Sun Chaozong and Sun Shuai, they all looked at Gao Ze with strange and shocked expressions. Even Shen Gang was somewhat surprised.

What kind of luck was this?

He had just caught the A-level wanted criminal Liu Yaozong not long ago, and now he had found Sun Shuai, whom the Donghai City Criminal Police had not found in over ten years.

Which Police officer solves two cases in one day?!

No one in their Criminal Police Brigade could do that.

"Old Shen, what do you think of Gao Ze from our Traffic Police Brigade?"

Zhou Weiguo looked at Shen Gang's depressed expression and laughed triumphantly:

"Solving two cases in one day, no one in your Criminal Police Brigade can do that, right? Such an elite talent is still one of our Traffic Police."

Shen Gang remained silent, while a younger Criminal Police officer beside him spoke up, indignantly.

"It's just good luck!"

"What's wrong with luck? Luck is also a form of strength!"

Zhou Weiguo wasn't angry at all and continued to laugh: "Why haven't I seen your Criminal Police Brigade have such luck, catching a major wanted criminal and solving an abduction case that went unsolved for over ten years?"

"Gao Ze is a lucky star; your Criminal Police Brigade doesn't have one!"

Zhou Weiguo's hearty laughter filled the entire Traffic Police Center. The Criminal Police officers beside Shen Gang grew increasingly frustrated, their faces devoid of color.

Regardless of whether it was luck or not, Gao Ze solving two cases in one day and getting credit was an undeniable fact.

The bureau would definitely commend and reward Gao Ze.

"Old Zhou, you're right, luck is also strength. It's enviable that your team has a lucky star like Officer Gao!"

Shen Gang smiled and sighed, then motioned for the Criminal Police to take Sun Chaohui, Sun Shuai, and the others back to the Criminal Police Center for DNA testing.

Although it was obvious to anyone that Sun Shuai and Sun Chaohui were almost identical, the necessary testing procedures had to be followed.

"Wait, Officer Shen, I'd like to thank Officer Gao."

Sun Chaohui didn't follow the Criminal Police to the Criminal Police Center. He pulled Sun Shuai in front of Gao Ze, bowed deeply, his eyes brimming with tears, and excitedly clasped Gao Ze's hands tightly:

"Officer Gao, thank you for helping me find my son, Sun Shuai!"

"For so many years, I've spent enormous effort and energy, countless days and nights unable to sleep peacefully, constantly thinking of my son."

"You helped me find my son; you are my great benefactor. I will never forget it!"

"I said that whoever could provide a clue about my son, one clue would be one hundred thousand. You directly helped me find my son, so I am willing to give you one million.

This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you don't think it's too little, and please don't refuse!"

One million!

The Police officers at the Traffic Police Center started breathing heavily.

Even Captains Zhou Weiguo and Shen Gang couldn't help but show genuine envy in their eyes.

Whether Traffic Police or Criminal Police, if they didn't engage in corruption or side jobs, their monthly salaries would only be a few thousand, or at most a little over ten thousand.

One million.

This was their total salary for seven, eight, or even over ten years.

Who wouldn't be envious? Just one case, and they simply earned so much.

"Although one million can't buy a house in Donghai City, it's enough to change a financially strained situation..."

Looking at the envious gazes of his colleagues and even the Captains, Gao Ze felt incredibly refreshed, but he knew he couldn't take the full one million, unless he gave up his Police identity and his chances for promotion.

Because Police work is team-based. In front of a 'cake,' if one doesn't know how to share, colleagues will ostracize them, and leaders will think they lack team spirit and cannot handle important responsibilities, leading to gradual marginalization.

However, not being able to take the full bonus didn't matter.

Gao Ze didn't care.

In the past, one million would have been a huge sum for him, but with the intelligence system, one million was just a small number.

With the intelligence system, he believed he could definitely gain greater benefits.

Now, it was better to share a portion of the 'cake' to gain the goodwill of the Traffic Police Brigade and secure a promotion. In Xia State, power was often more important than money.

"Mr. Sun, I feel unworthy of this one million!"

Gao Ze said: "Being able to find your son, Sun Shuai, is not just my credit; it's also the effort of our entire Police force and even the bureau."

"If not for their diligent search work for over ten years, helping you expand publicity, release information, conduct DNA tests, facial recognition input, and so on, I would not have been able to find your son."

What a shrewd person!

Captains Zhou Weiguo and Shen Gang's eyes lit up simultaneously.

Gao Ze's promotion this time was absolutely certain.

If he didn't get promoted, who would?!
