Lidu City local program, live broadcast of "Heavy Punch" on site.
Mu Lingshan answered the host's questions with a stiff smile, her heart torn and once again subjected to the scrutiny of her conscience, unconsciously breaking into a sweat.
Although she was rely a young officer who hadn't worked for long, she was well aware of one thing: every word and action she took in the current situation was too important. Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on her from both the audience and television viewers.
Theoretically, all she needed to do was follow the set procedure: start with a few empty but beautiful words, thanking the country and the organization, then humbly boast about the case-solving a bit, and finally, express the police's firm stance against any form of evil. This would be considered a success.
Doing so was actually quite simple; it would satisfy everyone above and below, not only enhancing the glorious image of the police in the public's eyes but also attributing all the credit solely to her, thus laying a more solid foundation for her future career advancent.
If she didn't do this, it could bring her nurous troubles. To say the least, she wouldn't be able to explain it to her superiors.
As for her superiors, they wouldn't know how to explain it to their superiors. Even if she didn't face any overt punishnt, she'd at least be labeled as unorganized, undisciplined, and lacking a big-picture view. Future advancent would likely be a re dream.
Was Mu Lingshan willing to be a low-ranking officer for a lifeti?
The answer was obviously no.
Of course, she wanted to climb higher. While personal desires surely existed, more importantly, reaching the right position would allow her to do more practical things for the people and realize the justice she firmly upheld in her heart.
To her, this live interview was a single-choice question with only two options. Choosing the first would undoubtedly guide her toward a bright path filled with joy and prosperity.
As for the second choice, it was fraught with known and unknown risks, offering her no benefits and possibly leading to her downfall.
Option one? Or option two?
Mu Lingshan repeatedly asked herself in her heart, again and again.
Throughout her life, she had been sowhat decisive, never so hesitant.
Forget it, stop hesitating. Choosing the first option would only benefit herself; only a fool would choose the second. What is there to consider?
Besides, didn't Chu Ge also suggest she do this?
Even though she thought this way, Mu Lingshan didn't feel any better. She felt she was deceiving not only countless viewers but also herself, her cheeks burning with heat.
In Mu Lingshan's inner turmoil, the interview program continued harmoniously. Both the host and Mu Lingshan were full of praises, using passionate speeches to cover up the facts.
anwhile, Chu Ge breathed a long sigh of relief watching TV. Luckily, this Tiger Girl didn't ss up at the crucial mont, revealing his matters in front of such a large audience.
This is more like it; this Tiger Girl finally made so progress, knowing what to say and what not to say in such a setting.
However, despite his relief, Chu Ge subconsciously felt a little disappointed and disdainful.
In his impression, Mu Lingshan was soone upright to the point of being naive. Whether she was forced or not, she ultimately learned to embellish things and spout nonsense in the big dye vat of society.
"Boring, it's nothing but empty talk. I'm changing the channel to find a drama to watch."
After watching for a while, Qin Ruoying felt bored, stood up from the chair, and was about to grab the remote from the sofa when Qin Ruojing finally spoke, "The show is almost over, let's finish watching it."
Qin Ruoying was perplexed, "Sister, are you interested in this? Don't you find all her praises boring?"
Qin Ruojing curled her lips, "It's not who's interested, it's your brother-in-law. That lady cop seems to have so story with him."
"Oh? That's why when we t that lady cop last ti, her gaze towards brother-in-law was strange? Brother-in-law, what's going on?"
Chu Ge broke into a sweat, facing the two won's gaze, he said helplessly, "Why does it always lead back to ? Ruoying, change the channel; I find it boring too."
Qin Ruoying looked at Chu Ge with suspicion, "Brother-in-law, really? Are you feeling guilty? Could it be... you're worried that the lady cop will confess to you on live TV?"
Chu Ge rolled his eyes. Qin Ruoying actually managed to say that. Her imagination was way too wild.
As Chu Ge was speechless, the host's voice ca again on the TV.
"Alright, after listening to Officer Mu Lingshan, I'm about to beco her fan. Let's give Officer Mu a round of applause."
After a round of applause, the host concluded, "Thank you, Officer Mu Lingshan. Is there anything else you would like to add, Officer Mu?"
Ordinarily, Mu Lingshan would say a polite sentence or two, and the interview would be over. However, in front of the cara, Mu Lingshan hesitated, deeply hesitated.
Watching Mu Lingshan fall silent on the TV, Chu Ge suddenly had a very bad feeling, thinking to himself, is this Tiger Girl going to cause a scene at the last mont?
As Chu Ge was thinking this, Mu Lingshan suddenly took a deep breath, her expression becoming serious, as if she had made so solemn decision, and looked directly at the cara with her distinctly clear eyes.
At this mont, Chu Ge's sense of foreboding grew stronger, and though he was separated by the TV, he sohow felt he was making eye contact with Mu Lingshan.
In Mu Lingshan's eyes, Chu Ge saw an open and righteous spirit, sothing he both hoped not to see but secretly wished to see.
"Yes, I have sothing more to add. Here, I want to thank soone. Without this person, this operation wouldn't have succeeded."
The host was taken aback, thinking, didn't you finish all your thank-yous earlier? Now at the end of the program, you suddenly rember soone else to thank? What are you playing at?
Mu Lingshan, however, didn't care about the host's awkward expression, thinking of how Chu Ge would have a wonderful look on his face if he were watching TV now, causing the corners of her mouth to lift slightly.
This smile of Mu Lingshan's was much more genuine than her previous smiles, even adding a touch of charm to her otherwise spirited deanor.
Charm and spirit are supposed to be two unrelated feelings, yet at this mont, on Mu Lingshan's face, they combined perfectly, naturally, and flawlessly.
All the viewers who saw this scene brightened up, and nurous hands holding remote controls, just about to change the channel, paused simultaneously.
This smile, in a sense, truly could topple a city with a single smile!
Chu Ge's eye twitched slightly, secretly praying that this Tiger Girl wouldn't act foolishly, feeling a wave of headache.
"The person I want to thank, I don't know if he's in front of the TV, but I really hope he sees this episode because, before the thank you, I want to tell him three words."
When Mu Lingshan spoke this sentence, whether at the program site or in front of a TV screen, there was an instant flurry of reactions like "Aiyo?" "What the heck?" "Eh?" "Oh my God?"
The Qin sisters also looked at each other, their right hands holding chopsticks paused together, then they both directed their gaze at Chu Ge.
Especially Qin Ruoying, seeing this scene on TV made it impossible for her not to make so associations, after all, they had just talked about Mu Lingshan and Chu Ge.
"Oh my, brother-in-law, the person she's thanking, the one she's going to tell those three words... could it be you?"
Chu Ge smiled bitterly inside, outwardly shaking his head as if nothing happened, laughing as he said, "Do you think that's possible?"
Since things had reached this point, Chu Ge could only hope Mu Lingshan wouldn't make too big of a ss, as long as she didn't ntion his na, that would be a blessing.
To be honest, if this happened with soone else, Qin Ruoying would definitely think it's impossible, but if it was Chu Ge, then who knows? Ever since she t Chu Ge, she had witnessed Chu Ge's wonders ti and again, and seemingly nothing happening to Chu Ge was that surprising.
Even after Chu Ge's denial, Qin Ruoying couldn't help but glance at Chu Ge several tis before fixing her eyes firmly on the TV screen, waiting for Mu Lingshan's next words.
Not only Qin Ruoying, Qin Ruojing was the sa.
Of course, the rest of the audience watching the program were also filled with a bit of freshness and curiosity, staring at the TV screen without blinking, waiting.
"Officer Mu, haha, I didn't expect you'd give us all a surprise at the end of the program. What are the three words you want to say to that person?"
The program host, having seen so ergencies before, quickly adjusted his mood and expression, smiling as he asked.
Mu Lingshan smiled slightly at the host, her gaze directed at the cara, and with a voice and expression that was gentle yet teasing, teasing yet charming, she began to speak slowly.
"Hmm, the three words I want to say to him are..." Mu Lingshan deliberately paused, the corners of her mouth lifting a bit more.
At the sa ti, Mu Lingshan continued to imagine what expression Chu Ge would have if he were watching the TV, finally saying those three words in a voice that was both gentle and teasing, with a touch of charm.
"You're a jerk!"
