I'm a Super Cop

3:50 p.m.

There are only 10 minutes left in the official game.

The contestants of the major clubs have also finished their final warm-up for the competition venue.

The staff of the organizing committee took back the traversing planes used by the players for warming up, and brought back another batch of special planes for the competition.

Various parameters of this aircraft have been adjusted in advance by the organizing committee, so that the parameters of each aircraft are unified.

Not only the parameters, but also the equipment configuration of each traversing machine has been completely unified, which prevents technical support from affecting the results of the competition.

Moreover, the time-traveling machines used by each club are pasted in different colors with professional color stickers.

Red orange yellow green blue purple black and white, 9 clubs, 9 colors, very easy to distinguish.

However, due to previous accidents, Zhang Muzhi from the Hangzhou Shadow Club and Xu Yang from the Rongcheng Cobra Club were unable to participate.

Therefore, these two clubs can only compete with 3 people now, and there are no substitutes.

Therefore, it is serious in each club, and it seems that they have withdrawn from the ranks of competing for the top three.

So now there are clubs competing for the championship of the sub-station, and everyone is unanimously optimistic about the Magic City Clown Club.

As for who will be eliminated in this qualifying round? It seems that there is no need for too much discussion.

Because according to the usual practice, the first to be eliminated is generally the local amateur team.

But even so, so what, at the scene, including in the live broadcast room, everyone seemed to be attracted by Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.

For a while, the barrage supporting the Furong sub-bureau team of Jiangnan City's promotion to the top 8 began to dominate the screen, which surprised the commentators Dashan and Mac.

"It seems that everyone is quite supportive of this Jiangnan City local team, isn't it because they want to see more about the looks of Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei?" Da Shan also joked.

Mac also jokingly said: "I think this Jiangnan City local team may become a dazzling dark horse."

"From the mental state of each of them, it can be seen that although they feel that they will be eliminated in the first round, their expressions are still determined."

"This is rarely seen in other races, which shows that they have made sufficient preparations. In addition, it is a home game. I think there may be an accident today."

"Really?" Seeing that the foreigner Mac has such confidence in the local team of Jiangnan City, Dashan said bluntly: "Well, the competition is about to start, let's wait and see."

With the arrival of 4:00 p.m., an advertisement of the entertainment business group of Yuan's Group suddenly appeared in the broadcast room.

Along with various fancy promotional videos of the time-traveling machine, the contestants also began to make final preparations.

On the screen, the picture has also been given to the take-off scene.

As commentators, Dashan and Mac appeared in the lower left corner of the big screen with very small images.

"Okay, the screen cuts back, and our competition will start immediately. This is the scene of the Jiangnan sub-station of the FPV Traversing Machine Racing Competition, and what you see now will be the qualifying round for this round of the competition, that is, Commonly known as the 9-to-8 knockout round."

"In this round of competition, among the 9 participating teams, one of the teams with the lowest score will be eliminated, and the remaining 8 teams will be retained to advance to the top 8 in the next round."

"And the 8 clubs after the promotion will be divided into 4 groups. The winners of each group will advance to the semi-finals, and the group winners of the semi-finals will directly advance to the next round, which is the final round. finals."

"As you can see, the players from various clubs on the scene are very excited, and everyone is very confident in today's game."

"But, you know? The qualifying rounds are sometimes more exciting than the quarterfinals or even the finals."

After a pause, Dashan adjusted his breathing rhythm, and continued to explain in that field-controlling tone:

"That's right, because of the qualifying competition, all participating club pilots participate together."

"9 clubs, 9 pilots take off at the same time after the countdown is over, and 10 seconds later, the second batch of pilots will continue to set off, and then 10 seconds later, the third batch of players will start."

"In this way, 9 clubs and representative teams, 27 FPV racing pilots will be divided into three batches, and each batch of 9 players will start at the same time."

"This also means that each time on the track, there will be 9 traversing machines that accelerate from 100 kilometers to less than one second, competing for victory in the crowded track."

"But once the flying speed of the front batch of traversing planes is too slow, they will meet the second batch of chasing players."

"And the same is true, if the speed of the second batch of pilots is too slow, they will be chased by the third batch of pilots."

"In the process of flying in circles, if your flying speed is too slow, you will be lapped by the leading player, which will increase the difficulty of flying and increase the congestion of the track."

Taking a deep breath and trying to adjust the rhythm of his speech, Dashan said again: "It is conceivable that 27 traversing machines that accelerate from 100 kilometers to less than one second will compete in various competitions on these tracks."

"You may have taken the lead just now, but once you make a mistake and hit an obstacle, you will lose the result of the game directly."

"Similarly, if you are leading other pilots, but when you get down one or two laps, you will meet the pilot who is at the end of the crossing plane. Once there is a collision, the plane will explode."

"Then no matter whether you were the first or the last at that time, your results will also be canceled on the spot."

With a handsome snap of his fingers, Dashan raised his eyebrows and grinned at the screen:

"So, this is excitement, and this is the correct way to play the traversing machine. Here, everything is possible. Here, anything can happen."

"No matter how chaotic the competition is, even if all the pilots collectively blow up the plane in the end, as long as someone follows the prescribed route and circles all the obstacles, even if your final time is terrible, then you will be the ultimate winner..."

Dashan was at the game site, explaining the rules passionately, and the sound was also transmitted to all the audience present through the live speakers.

In the starting area of ​​the competition, all players are gearing up.

As a substitute player, Yuan Shasha does not have to participate in this round of competition. She also took the initiative to let Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang loosen their muscles and bones, and tried their best to let everyone relax and play seriously.

"Senior Brother Gu, the qualifying competition is up to you." Yuan Shasha knew that everyone's strength was mediocre, and in this kind of high-level competition, at most, they were just making up for it.

But Gu Chen is different, Gu Chen is everyone's hope, and also the player who is most like a strong player.

Why do you say that? Because everyone has seen Gu Chen's flying skills during training.

It can be said that Gu Chen's strength is basically the same as the professional pilots of these clubs, and he can even achieve good results in the training process of the test flight.

Therefore, everyone put their hopes for this competition on Gu Chen.

Due to the rules of the competition, the best results of each club will be taken as the final ranking of the qualifying round.

This also means that Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang belong to the type that focuses on participation, and they belong to the existence of soy sauce, but Gu Chen has to do his best to get the top 8.

As long as one of the clubs is surpassed, the task of Gu Chen and the Jiangnan City Furong Sub-bureau representative team will be considered complete.

As long as they enter the quarter-finals, the Jiangnan Furong Sub-bureau representative team will be able to complete a task in the next competition, regardless of their results.

In this way, the knot in Zhao Guozhi's choice heart will also be untied.

You know, all the directors of the branch bureaus at the scene had already gone back to their respective homes, but Zhao Guozhi was the only one who stayed at the scene to observe the progress of the game.

Zhao Guozhi knew that he wanted to watch Gu Chen create miracles with his own eyes.

At the very least, he had to go back with the results of entering the top 8, so that he could explain something in front of Qin Gang.

Zhao Guozhi is not demanding, and it is his own psychological bottom line to be able to enter the top 8.

Although he also planned to be eliminated early, in Zhao Guozhi's eyes, Gu Chen can always bring surprises to people.

Therefore, Zhao Guocheng also hopes at this moment that Gu Chen can bring hope to himself.

As the game entered the final countdown stage, although the scene was noisy, all the players on the seats on the stage began to wear sound-proof headsets.

As all the contestants buckle the sling ropes on their respective aircraft model manipulators and slide off the FPV glasses, after all, it officially enters the countdown stage.

The commentator Qian, along with Dashan and Mac, announced the start of the game at the same time.

The first batch of 9 traversing planes is also eager to try at this time.

All the shuttles placed on the departure platform started their rotors at this moment, and the rear oars were suspended in the air, posing as a sprinter preparing to dive.

At this moment, countdown numbers appear in the FPV glasses of all pilots at the same time.

With the end of the 10-second countdown 3, 2, 1, only a "hum" was heard at the scene.

The nine traversing planes that were still in the dive and hovering state suddenly sprinted out like a group of wild horses running wild.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Because from the perspective of many spectators, the 9 traversing planes in the competition area are like a group of fast-flying objects, quickly doing various difficult emergency stop and roll flight maneuvers.

However, because the organizers have installed synchronous transmission settings on the game traversing machines of each club.

Therefore, on several large screens with different angles at the scene, the audience can see the first flying perspective of each pilot.

Moreover, by constantly switching the flying angles of the pilots, the organizers allowed everyone to experience the FPV first-person perspective of the game at close range.

On the big screen, every time you switch to the first-person view of a pilot, the top of the screen will also display the pilot's club logo, as well as the current flight parameters of the pilot and the race path.

In this way, the audience can grasp the specific data of this pilot, as well as the current ranking status of this pilot.

"My God, so the first perspective of the FPV traversal machine is so blurry? There are snowflakes?"

In the audience, the treasure mother who asked Gu Chen for an autograph just now was also holding her baby, and couldn't help being amazed.

Another audience around him also smiled teasingly: "The operation of this thing is very complicated. If you are not used to it, you don't need to look at the screen."

"After all, this screen is from the first-person perspective, making people dizzy."

"Aren't these pilots dizzy?" The young mother continued to ask the enthusiastic audience.

The enthusiastic audience smiled and said: "Your question is like asking a fighter pilot. It makes sense whether you will get airsick."

"Since people can operate the traversing machine and participate in this kind of flying competition, they must have already adapted to this dizzy state. We laymen, don't worry about it."

"That's right." The young mother also felt that it seemed superfluous to worry about this.

But looking around, I found that many viewers were holding their foreheads at this moment, with painful expressions.

Many people even started vomiting on the spot.

It is conceivable that by watching the first-person view of the flying pilot on the big screen, many people have already been vomited by this fast-rotating first-person view.

At this moment, the last batch of traversing machines have also started.

Since the take-off times of the three batches of crossing planes were 10 seconds apart, and they were flying in the first round of obstacles, everyone was very close to each other, and the results did not widen the distance.

Therefore, the three batches of traversing machines did not overlap as imagined, which provided a good flying space for the competition.

But soon, with the first batch of crossing machines, after completing the first round of obstacle flight, they re-entered the second round of flight.

Many professional pilots who had been flying smoothly before suddenly started to accelerate, and soon left some of the traversing machines behind.

And the backward flying pilots also began to catch up.

It seems that the gap between the strengths began to become apparent in the second lap.

"It seems that these club pilots are going to start amplifying their moves." On the commentary stage, Da Shan also talked eloquently.

Mac also echoed: "Yes, in normal competitions, all pilots have to pass these obstacles and fly 10 laps."

"The player with the shortest time will get the best result ranking, but often many professional pilots, the first lap is only in the warm-up stage."

"In this lap, most of the pilots are only stuck in the position and will not break out. This is somewhat similar to the start of an F1 car."

"Yes." As soon as Mac finished speaking, Dashan also said immediately: "As one of the world's three emerging technological sports, the charm of drone racing actually has many similarities with F1 racing."

"This game originated in Europe, and has been broadcast to more than 70 countries, with 400 million viewers, and its influence covers the world."

"The domestic cross-travel racing project in my country only started four years ago, and this event first entered Asia, and it came to China."

"Today, the FPV racing project has entered an increasingly professional and commercial stage."

"Of course, the influence of this kind of event is also becoming more prominent. I think that as the event continues to be promoted in major cities, more and more aircraft model enthusiasts will definitely join it."

Just as the narrators Dashan and Mac were explaining, there was a sudden "wow" movement at the scene.

Soon, on the big screen, the perspective of a traversing plane suddenly rotated violently, and finally the picture was frozen on the ground.

"Obviously, some players bombed the plane." Dashan also joked.

Mac also grinned, and said jokingly, "Let me see who the unlucky guy is?"

As the technicians announced the bomber pilot's information on the big screen, the name of Lu Weiwei, the representative team of Jiangnan City Furong Branch, was on the list.

"Oh, it's Lu Weiwei, the local representative team pilot from the Furong Branch of Jiangnan City. This beautiful female pilot is unexpectedly the first bomber in today's qualifying competition. She is really... so unlucky."

Mac shrugged and announced that Lu Weiwei was the first to be eliminated with very standard American regret gestures.

There was a regrettable movement at the scene, Zhao Guozhi folded his hands on his chest, closed his eyes with his forehead, feeling a little horrible.

Just after the second lap, Lu Weiwei was already eliminated, which was much faster than Zhao Guozhi expected.

Lu Weiwei also took off the FPV glasses, and couldn't help but sigh, glanced at Gu Chen and Officer Wang who were continuing to operate the remote control of the model airplane, Lu Weiwei took off the sound-proof headset, relaxed her mind, and waited quietly with her head in her arms.

"Oh! Another person has been eliminated, let's see who it will be this time?" With the first perspective of another traversing plane, it fell to the ground after a high-speed rotation.

On the big screen, the information about the elimination of Officer Wang, the representative team of Jiangnan City Furong Branch, appeared again.

"Oh, it's still the king of the Jiangnan City Furong branch team. He was eliminated. This is another player who was eliminated from the Jiangnan City local team. What a pity."

"So, by the time most pilots have entered the fourth round of flying, the Jiangnan City local team has already eliminated two players."

"Now, the local representative team of Jiangnan City is short of being eliminated, and there is only one place left."

"If captain Gu Chen is eliminated again, then the Jiangnan City local team will be wiped out. They will also be eliminated in the first qualifying round just like the local teams in the previous major competitions."

"As for Captain Gu Chen, he has inherited all the expectations of the local citizens of Jiangnan City. He is the only hope here. Will he succeed?"

Mac also played his own humorous commentary style and began to tease the misfortune of the local team.

At this time, the audience area in the audience was also lamenting, and Zhao Guozhi was no longer holding his forehead, but covering his face with his hands.

I feel like I don't dare to watch it anymore, it seems that my Furong sub-bureau representative team is close to being eliminated, and there is only Gu Chen left.

Officer Wang in the competition area also took off his FPV glasses at the moment, and looked at Lu Weiwei, who was also eliminated early, and cursed:

"This damn guy, I don't know which bastard it is? Hit me in the back, I was hit by the bomber, hit the ground and couldn't fly anymore."

"But there's nothing wrong with this guy. After tossing around on the ground a few times, he flew away under my nose again. What a fucking hell."

"Old Wang." Seeing Police Officer Wang's foul language in the competition area, Lu Weiwei looked around and hurriedly reminded: "So many cameras and audiences are looking at us, we represent the image of the Jiangnan City Police Force, can you Speak more civilly?"

Hearing this, Police Officer Wang hesitated for a few seconds, then changed his words and said: "That little cutie is really unkind, sneak attacking from behind, and doesn't talk about martial arts..."

Lu Weiwei: "..."

As the number of laps in the race increased, the original three echelons were gradually mixed together.

For the remaining 25 traversing planes, three were bombed on the 6th lap, and one was bombed on the 8th lap.

With the big screen, the game parameters are constantly updated.

Da Shan, the commentator on the stage, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "My God! So far, Gu Chen, the representative team of Jiangnan City Furong Branch, still maintains good results. He is currently ranked 6th in the first echelon."

"If he can last until the end of the game without blowing up the plane, and wait for the remaining two batches of players to finish the game and count the results, he may have hope to advance to the next round."

At this moment, hearing such an explanation, all the audience immediately stretched their necks.

Those who vomited before, those who rested with their foreheads closed and eyes closed, and the audience chatting there were all surprisingly unified at this moment.

Everyone stood upright and fixed their eyes on the big screen, for fear that the commentator would suddenly say: Gu Chen bombed the plane and was eliminated.

Everyone's nervousness is spreading at the moment, and it seems to be more nervous than watching the national football qualifiers.

As the game came to an end, Dashan was stunned: "What did I see? Gu Chen has rushed to the fourth place now? That's right, it is the fourth place, and the ranking is still rising."

"Could it be that Gu Chen wants to make history? Is he going to lead the Jiangnan City Furong sub-bureau representative team to break the curse of being eliminated in the sub-station local team qualifying competition?" Mac also stood up at this moment.

The two commentators were instantly overwhelmed by the intensity of the scene.

And the director is also very interesting, seeing all the big screens at this moment, switch to Gu Chen's flying perspective.

Afterwards, there were beautiful flips and rolls and giant loops one by one. The silky smoothness of the screen left many club substitutes stunned.

So much so that the game entered the sprint stage of the last lap, many of the club's substitute players stood up directly, looked at the big screen in front of them with incredible eyes, and watched the miracle that would happen next.

"Shut up!"

Following the three lights and shadows, they roared past the final line of the unfinished building competition area.

The writing pen held in the hand of the narrator Dashan slipped to the ground involuntarily in an instant.

"Gu... Gu Chen ranked third?" Mac on the side couldn't believe it.

Although Gu Chen is temporarily ranked third, since Gu Chen belongs to the first echelon, he is 10 seconds earlier than the pilots of the second echelon and 20 seconds earlier than the pilots of the third echelon.

Therefore, when Gu Chen's competition ended, everyone held their breaths and waited for the other pilots to finish the competition.

But as the 20 seconds passed slowly, the final rankings of many pilots were constantly changing on the big screen.

But Gu Chen's ranking has been stable, always in the third place.

"Gu... Gu Chen is the third place, and he is the third place. Although the Jiangnan City Furong Branch team eliminated two pilots in the first place, Gu Chen won the third place. Jiangnan City Furong Branch Representative team, they don't have to be eliminated, they... they advanced to the top 8."

Facing Gu Chen's stable third place, the commentator Da Shan's blood boiled immediately.

From his point of view, Gu Chen seemed to have accomplished an impossible task.

The local representative team advanced to the top 8 for the first time.

This alone is enough to make headlines in the FPV circle.

"Wow!"

Suddenly cheers erupted at the scene, people who knew each other and those who didn't know each other embraced and celebrated. It seemed that at this moment, the city of Jiangnan City made history.

And Zhao Guozhi, who had been covering his face in silence before and didn't dare to peek at the results of the competition, was shocked by the roaring cheers when he heard that Gu Chen won the third place.

That's right, the cheers at the scene represented everything. Gu Chen won the third place in the qualifying competition and directly led the Furong branch to the top 8.

cheer!

shout!

Embrace!

Whistle!

At this moment, the citizens watching the game in Jiangnan City suddenly felt as happy as they were celebrating the new year.

All the spectators wearing red T-shirts immediately took photos and forwarded the results of the game on the big screen.

Everyone ran around in the circle of friends to tell each other, announcing the good news that the local team of Jiangnan City had advanced to the top 8.

As the last pilot crossed the finish line, the qualifying round of the Jiangnan sub-station of the FPV Aircraft Racing Contest came to an end.

The one that was eliminated was another representative team from Shanghai, the Hornets.

The moment Gu Chen took off the blindfold, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha rushed up immediately, hugging and celebrating with Gu Chen.

The four contestants laughed and laughed, feeling that the target for the penultimate place had been completed.

In the commentary area, facing the collective cheers of more than 3,000 people at the scene, the atmosphere has reached its peak.

Da Shan, the commentator, said excitedly: "My God! This is just like a dream, do you know? At the very beginning, the Jiangnan City Furong Sub-bureau representative team lost two generals in a row."

"But when everyone thought that Gu Chen would also be eliminated soon, Gu Chen jumped to the third place. The third place, my family, this should be one of the few wonderful games I have seen on the spot .”

Looking up at the audience, Dashan also smiled excitedly: "Did you hear that? The scene is already full of mountains and tsunami, and the citizens of Jiangnan City are already boiling."

"Gu Chen, he is worthy of being the hero of this city. Although he only led the local team to the quarter-finals, why do I feel that he is being treated like a champion now?"

"It's unbelievable. This is the most unbelievable game I've ever seen." Mac, the commentator sitting next to Dashan, was also scratching his hair at the moment, showing a shocked expression:

"How did he do it? Gu Chen, I've never heard of this person in the FPV traversal circle before, but his battle today is enough to change history."

"A professional pilot who has only trained for more than a week has surpassed the results of most professional pilots. Am I dreaming?"

After the voice fell, Mac made a movement of listening with one ear, then faced the screen again, and said involuntarily:

"No, no, the cheers at the scene told me that this is not a dream at all, Jiangnan City's local team, he has advanced!"

On the commentary stage here, Dashan and Mac are still working hard to explain, but on the field of players, when everyone saw the final results on the big screen, many professional pilots couldn't believe that Gu Chen led his team to the top 8.

But even though they only advanced to the qualifying round, the cheers on the scene gave the other contestants the illusion that Gu Chen led his team to win the championship.

"Gu Chen, you've done a good job." Seeing that Gu Chen won the third place, Zhao Bo from Rongcheng Cobra Club, who came in second, was also the first to bring the other two players over to congratulate and high-five Gu Chen.

"Thanks to the master who taught us well and provided us with a lot of competition experience in a very short period of time, I must be considered lucky." Gu Chen was still quite modest.

After all, under Zhao Bo's training, I have gradually mastered a lot of experience in traveling through machine racing competitions.

It can be said that although what Zhao Bo brought to Gu Chen is only basic experience and technology, for Gu Chen who has master-level observation and master-level memory, it can be fully mastered.

Therefore, Gu Chen thanked Zhao Bo, which seemed to make sense.

But Zhao Bo glanced at the final score, but he was amazed: "2 minutes and 23 seconds, yes, this score is quite good, Gu Chen, looking forward to our next game."

"Me too." Gu Chen nodded politely.

Ever since Zhao Bo's good brother Xu Yang was captured by Gu Chen for murdering Liao Jun of the Logistics Support Department.

During this time, Zhao Bo never spoke to Gu Chen again.

On the eve of today's match, Gu Chen even wanted to chat with Zhao Bo, but Zhao Bo seemed to be avoiding Gu Chen on purpose.

Therefore, Gu Chen is not easy to force others to do things to them.

But after the competition, when he saw that his disciple Gu Chen followed him closely and won the third place in the qualifying competition, Zhao Bo couldn't help walking over to congratulate Gu Chen.

Afterwards, Zhao Bo talked to Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, and then hurriedly left the competition area with his two teammates.

And at this moment, Hua Hua from the Clown Club of Shanghai City also appeared in front of Gu Chen with his teammates who had lost their good looks and stature.

"Gu Chen, congratulations. I didn't expect you to be so strong. Just over a week of intensive training has allowed you to get the third place in the qualifying competition. It shows that you are very talented."

"Thank you." Facing Huahua's compliment, Gu Chen also politely replied: "You are also amazing, you are number one."

"Damn, isn't this normal? Don't forget, our Shanghai Clown Club is a regular winner of the FPV traversing machine racing competition. It's a trivial matter."

As soon as Huahua finished speaking, the hostess urged all the contestants to gather on the stage.

So Huahua teased a few words, led the team members, and walked slowly towards the stage.

Then came other club teams. When passing by Gu Chen, many pilots congratulated Gu Chen.

In front of the commentary stand, Dashan and Mac's commentary continued.

"The Furong sub-bureau team in Jiangnan City advanced to the quarter-finals, while the Hornets' team regrettably stopped. This is the charm of FPV racing."

"As I said before, in the field of FPV racing, everything is possible."

"Until the end, no one knows what the final result will be, but no matter what, let's congratulate the Jiangnan City Furong branch team first, and congratulate them for making it to the top eight."

After the words fell, Dashan said to Mac again: "Mac, what do you think about the Magic City Hornets being eliminated in the qualifying round and losing to a local amateur team?"

"Haha, it's unbelievable." Mac laughed dryly, pointing to a team member not far away and said:

"The captain of the Shanghai Hornets, Zhu Zhihao, is over there. He is being interviewed. Let's go and listen."

"Alright." Seeing this situation, Dashan and Mac immediately left their seats and walked towards Liu Jingru's interview area.

On the other side, Liu Jingru, according to Bai Xiaolan's intention, stopped Zhu Zhihao, the captain of the Magic Capital Hornets team who was eliminated in the first qualifying round, and began to interview him.

"Hello Captain Zhu, do you have anything to say about the result of this competition?" Liu Jingru asked.

"Hehe!" Zhu Zhihao, who had dark skin and a big belly, touched the back of his head immediately, and said in embarrassment:

"How should I put it? It's at a normal level, because when I was training, I already achieved this result, but the local team in Jiangnan City represented by Gu Chen may have the home court advantage."

"After all, they have a lot of time to participate in the field training, and they may have an advantage in this aspect, but I have to say that Gu Chen's performance today is outstanding."

After a pause, Zhu Zhihao scratched his itch with embarrassing tactics, and then said: "You know, everyone is very good, but after all, there are only 8 places for promotion in the qualifying competition."

"The better the opponent performs, someone will be eliminated. This time it's us, but we don't regret it."

"Big deal, let's get back our face in other races in the future."

Although Zhu Zhihao spoke boldly, he couldn't hide his embarrassment of being eliminated.

When Gu Chen was surrounded by many media reporters, Zhao Guozhi had already been hiding in a quiet corner, making calls one by one.

"Qin Bureau, good news, yes yes yes, successfully advanced to the quarterfinals, and advanced to the third place with good results, the task was successfully completed."

"Zhang Wenbin, I told you a long time ago that our Furong sub-bureau will definitely be able to do it, what's the matter? I didn't brag about Haikou, did I?"

"Haha, brother De Jiang, Gu Chen gave our Jiangnan Police Captain a face, yes, third place, advanced."

"Brother Anbang, let's have dinner together tonight? It doesn't matter if you invite me, the important thing is to be happy. Gu Chen led our Furong sub-bureau team to advance, yes, and it is the third place."

...

Zhao Guozhi seemed to never tire of such phone calls to announce the good news.

Originally, he knew that this was a thankless task to take the blame, but Gu Chen was surprised to complete it satisfactorily.

...

...

6:30 p.m.

An unnamed restaurant on Yatang Street.

Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, accompanied by Zhao Guozhi, Li Anbang, and several other city bureau leaders, came to the new restaurant of the minesweeper hero Zhang Lei, and prepared to serve Gu Chen and the others a celebration drink.

Zhang Lei was also in a hurry, but he still found time to come to everyone's private room, chatting with Gu Chen and the others:

"Gu Chen, I heard that you branched out to Furong, and you Director Zhao face, what's the matter?" Zhang Lei saw the crutch on the side, and said with a smile.

"Uncle Zhang doesn't seem to read the news much?" Gu Chen also guessed.

Zhang Lei waved his hand: "The new store opened recently, so I'm too busy, news? I don't even read it on my phone."

"If it wasn't for your Bureau Zhao to call me and ask me to book a private room, I wouldn't even know that this happened in our Jiangnan City recently?"

"Yes." Li Anbang, director of the Fenghuang New District Bureau, coughed twice, and said jokingly:

"Although we have already advanced to the top 8, this has already fulfilled our Qin Bureau's target, and your Zhao Bureau can now feel at ease."

After a pause, Li Anbang said again: "You know, I'm the same as you Zhao Ju, I don't like to talk very much at ordinary times."

"But today, I want to thank you, Gu Chen, for your contribution to our Jiangnan Police Force." Picking up the teacup, Li Anbang said again:

"I'll replace the wine with tea, and toast you, Gu Chen."

"Director Li, you're being polite." Gu Chen had never sat in the same private room as Li Anbang for dinner, and Gu Chen was also quite curious about this big police chief.

Before, I only knew that this was the chief of the sub-bureau who was not very talkative, but in fact, I had very little contact with him.

Today was Zhao Guozhi's whim, because he was very happy to complete the task of the Municipal Bureau, so he called Li Anbang over for dinner.

But because of the presence of Li Anbang on the scene, Lu Weiwei didn't dare to be shy, and her speech became very ladylike.

The person who is usually the most noisy person is now as quiet as a child.

If it were Zhang Wenbin, Lu Weiwei would be able to tease him to the point of embarrassment.

Of course, Zhao Guozhi also invited Zhang Wenbin to participate, but Zhang Wenbin is not stupid.

Just before Zhao Guozhi cheated him of 200 yuan, and now he is asked to come over for dinner.

Zhang Wenbin can guess with his toes that this must be a grand banquet, and it is certain that you, Zhang Wenbin, will pay for it.

So Zhang Wenbin shirked on the pretext of being busy with work.

"Director Zhao, this should be the nutrition fund raised by the big guys, right?" Officer Wang is not stupid, Zhao Guozhi invited everyone to dinner, and the money must have been obtained from the wool.

Zhao Guozhi didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "That's right, the money for this meal will be paid with the money I got from the heads of the major branch bureaus today."

"I just heard that Zhang Lei, the famous mine-sweeping hero in Jiangnan City, has a new restaurant."

"No, I just brought you here to take care of the business. I thought the business wouldn't be very hot when the new store opened, but seeing how busy Zhang Lei is today, it seems that I want to too much."

"Haha, Bureau Zhao is polite." As soon as Zhang Lei finished speaking, he quickly picked up the wine glass in front of him and said involuntarily:

"These years, thanks to your friends from Furong branch, come to my store to take care of business."

"I also benefited from the expansion from the small shop in the alley of the old street to now owning several chain stores, thanks to your brothers and sisters in the Seremban branch."

Glancing at Gu Chen, Zhang Lei said again: "Especially you, Gu Chen, you let your friends in the media often help me write publicity reports, and even release an interview album for me. I'm a cripple, and I'm almost a cripple now. A celebrity in Jiangnan City."

"Haha, Uncle Lei is very polite. You are a minesweeper hero. Back then, when you lost a leg for the country, shouldn't everyone take care of your business?"

"Besides, I've known you for so many years since primary school, so don't be too polite."

"Gu Chen is right. Come on, I suggest that everyone give a cup to Uncle Lei, the minesweeper hero."

Driven by Lu Weiwei, everyone immediately raised their teacups and replaced wine with tea.

Cheers and laughter filled the entire private room.

Due to work reasons, Zhao Guozhi and Li Anbang were halfway through the meal, letting everyone eat and drink well, and then went to the counter to pay for the meal before leaving in a hurry.

And Zhang Lei also went to busy himself with his own affairs.

As for Gu Chen and the others, they ate and chatted until 8:00 pm. Everyone saw that the time was almost up, and they thought they would continue to participate in the competition the next day, so they also prepared to go home.

According to the agreement, after the competition is over, many people, including Bai Xiaolan, will have dinner with Gu Chen.

So everyone will look forward to the end.

At the gate of the nameless restaurant on Yatang Street, when Gu Chen went to the parking lot to pick up his car, a man in black hurried past with a bunch of items.

While passing by Gu Chen, he accidentally bumped into Gu Chen's shoulder.

"Sorry." The man nodded slightly to apologize, then continued to walk into the alley, and soon disappeared from sight.

But Gu Chen was puzzled, he couldn't help scratching the back of his head, thinking: "What was he hugging just now? Is it a cat? More than one?"
