Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 994 - 993: An Unexpected Event at the Wedding

"Teacher Binbin, what are you doing?"Qin Yan snapped back to reality and hurriedly helped Binbin up. Although Binbin was not much older than Qin Ruojing and belonged to the same generation as Qin Yan's children, he was, after all, a popular and famous host at Beijing TV Station. So it was reasonable for Qin Yan to address him with the respectful title of "Teacher."

"Officer Qin, this bow is something I ought to do."

Binbin smiled and turned his gaze towards the slightly bewildered audience below the stage.

"Friends, I'd like to say something off-topic first. Those familiar with me and Yanyan might wonder why we've come to host this wedding. After all, due to our work, we rarely host weddings for anyone, as it can cause many inconveniences. So, what is the real reason that led me to host this wedding?"

Binbin paused slightly, then turned his gaze to Qin Yan and said, "The real reason is because of Qin Yan, Officer Qin."

Qin Yan felt a bit embarrassed. Seeing Binbin's manner, he knew what Binbin wanted to say and said somewhat helplessly, "Teacher Binbin, you don't have to say this..."

Before Qin Yan could finish, Binbin continued, "It was one evening a few years ago when my younger sister was robbed by a thug and was even stabbed. Thanks to Officer Qin, she survived, and the stolen valuables were also retrieved from the thug by Officer Qin."

"Perhaps you all think it's only natural for police to catch criminals as they are paid to do so; it's their duty. Honestly, I used to think the same. But in reality, some things you only understand through personal experience, and you realize that the truth may be different from what you imagined."

"On the day of the incident, Officer Qin had already finished work and wasn't in uniform. I had no idea he was a policeman. However, there was a police car nearby where I could clearly see two officers in uniform, but they did nothing about the situation. Instead, it was Officer Qin, who wasn't in uniform, who stepped forward to help my sister and fought against the armed thug. In the process, he was even injured, getting a cut on his arm while protecting my sister."

"In my position, some things are not quite appropriate for me to say. There's a saying: the world we perceive based on accumulated experiences and common knowledge may not be the world as it truly is."

"Isn't there a saying that a man on a white horse isn't necessarily a prince; he could be a monk like Tang Sanzang. Someone with wings isn't necessarily an angel, but might just be a birdman. So... haha..."

"I'm sorry, I might have said too much, but I'm truly honored to have been invited by Officer Qin to host this wedding. I'm honored to have this opportunity to express my deep respect for this model figure in the police force, in the presence of so many friends."

"Now, what I want to say is..."

At this point, Binbin paused abruptly, finding himself momentarily at a loss for words.

Because, at this very moment, two men in black suits, with faces far from friendly, were walking towards the stage.

Not only Binbin, but almost everyone present was taken aback. Hmm? There was a wedding ceremony going on on stage, so what were these two men doing?

The only person who knew what was going on was Pan Dongren, leisurely watching the large screen from a private room.

Although this event was somewhat unexpected for him as well, he thought this small accident was even better for his purposes!

The host Binbin had just praised Qin Yan highly, hadn't he? Now everyone was looking at Qin Yan with admiration, weren't they? People regarded Qin Yan as a heroic figure in the police force, didn't they?

Hehe, this works just fine!

With the two from the discipline inspection commission stepping up now, Binbin's words would become nonsense, and it would be equivalent to publicly slapping Qin Yan in the face. Regardless of whether further investigations could find enough to strip Qin Yan of his police uniform, Qin Yan's reputation was at least thoroughly ruined!

At his daughter's wedding, being publicly escorted away by the discipline inspection commission during the moment of thanking the parents was truly a dramatic scene!

Yes, these two from the commission were arranged by Pan Dongren. He'd been planning this for a long time, ever since Qin Yan was still a criminal investigator. He could never stand Qin Yan, and after Qin Yan got promoted to the head of the criminal investigation team, his dislike grew with a mix of fear.

Pan Dongren knew best how he had treated Qin Yan in the past. If Qin Yan were to rise again, climbing even further, Pan Dongren feared there would be trouble for him.

Pan Dongren felt his concerns were entirely justified. When Qin Yan was just a detective, he often acted boldly, not showing deference to leadership. If Qin Yan climbed a few more steps, he might become even more arrogant and take the opportunity to settle old scores.

But when Qin Yan was newly promoted, even if Pan Dongren was upset, he had to tolerate it because he couldn't figure out Qin Yan's connections. What made such influential people speak up for Qin Yan?

However, as time passed bit by bit, after various probes and inquiries, Pan Dongren gradually discovered that Qin Yan didn't seem to have any special backing. He even began to doubt whether his fears were misplaced.

So, Pan Dongren's thoughts began to stir, and he started gathering "evidence" unfavorable to Qin Yan from various sources. He initially thought it would be easy to find something against Qin Yan using his skills, but as he actually started, he found it was exceptionally difficult to find any financial issues with Qin Yan...

However, Pan Dongren wasn't in a hurry. As the saying goes, nobody's perfect. If one path doesn't work, he can try another direction to find problems.

Things like "excessive use of force," "overly aggressive words," "improper attitude," "disobedience to orders," "individual heroism," "lack of big-picture view," and so on, aren't those areas to work on?

Even though Pan Dongren had secretly done many things, he wasn't in a rush to strike hard. Instead, he first modestly magnified a few of Qin Yan's non-mistakes during cases, probing him to some extent.

After "moderate magnification," it became "infinite magnification," and "some extent" became "greater extent."

After several tests, Pan Dongren finally felt confident there wouldn't be any major issues, so he decided it was time to push harder, leading to today's events.

Originally, he didn't expect Qin Yan to be unable to step down from the stage in public. This unexpected scene was a delightful surprise for him.

Sometimes, it's just about timing. In today's environment, Qin Yan's high-profile arrangements for his daughter's wedding seemed to defy convention, and the flashy convoy of four Cayennes was too attention-grabbing. The appearance of a pure gold skateboard also, unbeknownst to Qin Yan, pushed him into the spotlight.

While Qin Yong was noting down wedding gifts at the table, those two from the discipline inspection commission were discreetly observing from the side. The moment when he received the pure gold skateboard was clearly seen by them.

Worse yet, when Qin Yong was warned by them, a wave of nervousness involuntarily arose, and he couldn't help but want to convey some signal of trouble to Qin Yan. Even though his expression and changes in gaze were subtle, they were detected by the commission members.

As a joke! What is the duty of the discipline inspection commission? It's to identify and address issues within the organization. With full awareness, they were keen observers, likened to having eyes like an eagle. How could Qin Yong, a non-spy accountant, with his slight hints escape their notice?

Truthfully, if the commission members couldn't see through Qin Yong's minor tricks, they might as well not work in the department.

They didn't want to cause trouble for Qin Yan at this critical moment, but they felt they couldn't allow any more exchange of looks between Qin Yong and Qin Yan. Who knows if the two had some secret, undisclosed signals?

If not, it'd be fine, but if they did, wouldn't Qin Yan and Qin Yong have time to collude in advance? If Qin Yan prepared himself mentally or took some unknown measures, it could undermine today's raid efforts.

This situation was something the commission staff absolutely couldn't allow, so even though Qin Yan was still at his daughter's wedding, even during the parents' thanks on stage, they couldn't care about that anymore.

Tap tap tap...

The soft background music continued to play, but the footsteps of these two discipline inspection workers reached everyone's ears. From their position to the stage wasn't far, yet wasn't close either, drawing all eyes in the room to them.

The few people on stage all slightly furrowed their brows.
