Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Following the Footsteps of Enthusiastic Citizens_1

Seventeenth District, Law Enforcement Manor.

The turn of events didn’t deviate much from what Song Lan had predicted. In the end, the main felonies were pinned on the deceased Angel Foster and Dominas, who committed suicide leaving behind a suicide note.

In his will, Dominas detailed how he, Angel Foster, and the entire Inspection Department were gradually blinded by power and money, leading them to their current predicament.

He confessed to all the crimes he and Angel had committed, but more importantly, he went to great lengths to describe how he abused his power to evade scrutiny from the central area. Craftily, he extricated the Fosters, who were far away in the central region, from the entire incident, making them appear uninformed about the situation.

The general public obviously didn’t buy this whitewashing tactic. However, in this regard, the mayor of Lyon City chose to remain silent and didn’t raise any objections.

Upon final verdict, Angel Foster and Dominas were forever nailed to the pillar of disgrace, becoming the detestable outcasts admired by none.

At this outcome, Song Lan sighed deeply.

He vaguely remembered that a week ago, Angel Foster was still the hero of the Seventeenth District. People perceived her as the city’s light and held a three-day silent vigil for her upon her death.

As for Dominas.

A man who toiled half his life to finally gain the position of High Prosecutor, only to be made the scapegoat for the Foster Family before even warming up his seat.

This was probably the modus operandi of those powerful families. The original purpose of Mr. Killer knocking at his door seemed to be making him leave a suicide note similar to that of Dominas.

As of now, with their ruthless boss bearing the notoriety, the Foster family is likely to be unable to lay their hands on this city for a long while.

So, dear brother, rest in peace; I have avenged you.

Song Lan was certain that the late Mr. Dorago Safron, resting at the bottom of a suburban lake, would be pleased with this outcome.

Following the sighing, naturally, came the heart-stirring loafing around.

With the occurrence of this incident, the citywide assembly naturally had to be terminated. Roger returned triumphantly while their department reverted to its usual daily grind.

Looking at the folder saved on his hard disk that stored eighteen of the latest movies, Song Lan was already raring to go through them.

Retirement, retirement, nobody can make the "Warm-hearted Citizen" return to the fray again!

However, before he could start a movie, his office door was pushed open.

The one who entered was a familiar, middle-aged, balding man. When Song Lan realised his current plight was caused by this man, he greeted him grumpily, "For counselling, please queue at Roger’s office. The automated burger vending machine has malfunctioned and is currently under repair."

What irked him more was that before his transfer, the section chief had promised him a bonus of 3000 watts. Now, since the chief himself had been transferred, the bonus was naturally gone.

Did he default?

The main reason for the malfunction was Lu Xiang’s criticism of his wasteful behavior. He ordered Song Lan to finish eating the food piled up in the refrigerator before buying new ingredients, and forbade him from taking the food to the manor to give to others.

The shortcomings of Elmon became apparent at this moment — being a ghost, he was all about quantity, not quality.

Therefore, until he finished eating the frozen food that filled half the fridge, the automated burger vending machine couldn’t be repaired.

"I came specifically to see you."

The section chief cheekily grinned as he approached.

"What for?"

"Of course, to discuss work."

As the proverb goes, "you don’t know what you have until it’s gone." Without Song Lan, the section chief clearly realized he was leading a motley crew. Only reluctantly did he run down to the counselling department, shamelessly proposing a work discussion.

"You guys have work?"

Song Lan was shocked.

In the Seventeenth District, the logistics department was such a deadbeat division that they didn’t even have to attend citywide assemblies. With so many significant incidents happening recently in the district, none bore any relation to their work!

Every time Song Lan thought about this, he gnashed his teeth in jealousy.

"We didn’t initially, but didn’t the citywide assembly discuss many significant matters?"

"Hmm, but what does that have to do with the logistics department?"

"Mayor Lyon mentioned the ’Warm-hearted Citizen’ in his speech to the media."

Unlike the ordinary masses, the Law Enforcers knew that the alleged "Warm-hearted Citizen" wasn’t an organization, but a real person. They had crossed paths even before the commencement of the citywide assembly.

A day later, the popularity of the "Warm-hearted Citizen" had not waned; rather, it was on the rise. It became a topic discussed by everyone from the elderly in nursing homes to children in nurseries.

The influence this "model" brought was foreseeable.

In the future, more and more people would emulate the "Warm-hearted Citizen," dedicating themselves to the cause of personal justice.

Section Chief Snick deeply recognized that they couldn’t curb the soaring enthusiasm of the people. Moreover, he had always held the principle that it was easier to guide than to obstruct. So instead of outright banning it and provoking defiance, they decided to correctly guide people by establishing an "example."

"And our job is to propagate the glorious deeds of the ’Warm-hearted Citizen.’"

You guys propagate my ass.

Song Lan’s head started to throb instantly.

What the hell was with the citizens of the Seventeenth District?

Hadn’t Lu Xiang mentioned that they worked up to 14 hours a day and often worked seven days a week without a break? Where did they find the energy to emulate the deeds of the "Warm-hearted Citizen"?

Wouldn’t it be better if they invested their time in doing something more meaningful?

"We have already designed the image of the ’Warm-hearted Citizen’ and want your opinion."

Upon saying this, the section chief pulled out his tablet, showing the image created by pooling together all the wisdom of the logistics department to Song Lan.

A black overcoat, gloved hands – the whole ensemble screamed power and mystery.

Except for the face.

The illustration of the "Warm-hearted Citizen" didn’t include the iconic smiling mask, so his actual appearance was revealed.

In summary, it could be described with the expression

"So you’re sure you’re trying to promote the ’Warm-hearted Citizen,’ not challenge him to a fight?"

"Isn’t this supposed to make him appear more approachable?"

Walking the path of personal justice is filled with hardships, with the constant risk of one falling into darkness. Therefore, the Section Chief hoped that when people see the "Warm-hearted Citizen," they feel warmth rather than awaken the violent side deep within them.

"I don’t think it works."

Song Lan rejected the design.

While he didn’t hold grudges over small matters, according to his observations, among the followers of the "Warm-hearted Citizen," there were quite a few extremists. If they released this image, the Section Chief would probably be accused of "disfiguring the image of the ’Warm-hearted Citizen’" and attacked by those people on his way home.

"If you want to guide people towards a positive direction, what’s important is not the image, but his deeds."

"You have a point," affirmed the section chief, nodding his head, "So, what deeds of the ’Warm-hearted Citizen’ are worth learning from?"

Faced with this challenging question, the counselling department fell into a prolonged silence.

"Good question!"

Song Lan turned towards Valerian, who was seated aside, drinking tea and enjoying the show, "Why don’t you discuss the deeds of the ’Warm-hearted Citizen’ with the section chief."
