Chapter 370 Loving the new
"Okay. We'll go with your decision." Cai Ning agreed. Actually, she had already decided to ride a Jaguar sedan, since it was the most comfortable and highest grade among the fleet.
"Hehe," Alan clapped like a child.
"Sergeant Mi, take the key from the office and you'll be a driver for today. We'll show our guests our patrol routines and what we face on the street outside," said Cai Ning.
Thud. Thud.
Four of them closed the door and sat down on the soft cushion. Sergeant Mi entered the driver seat and started the ignition.
Turning the air conditioner on, she waited for the car to warm up before driving. Cai Ning sat on the passenger seat at the front. Alan and Li Bing sat behind them.
Alan never ceased to touch the leather and textures the Jaguar consisted of. He always sighed as if the entire interior became a legendary sculpture of beauty.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Li Bing on the side had her face darkened. If there weren't outsiders, she had leashed out the most fierce punishment. However, she didn't forget there were other bystanders in the live broadcast and asked for permission to capture everything inside from Cai Ning, who nodded.
As Li Bing directed the camera for the viewers to see the completely different interior, with more electronic devices built for the police work.
Wherever the camera pointed, Sergeant Mi introduced the functions. Of course, some of it was skipped on purpose if there were any sensitive information.
"You know, you're staying in the safest vehicle," said Cai Ning, capturing the attention of everyone except Sergeant Mi.
"How so?" asked Alan, a bit confused. In dangerous cities, police vehicles were the most targeted by criminals. Hearing Cai Ning's statement seemed controversial.
"Don't look at this normal-looking sedan, you might have felt some differences but you ignore the obvious." Cai Ning explained. "The entire vehicle is bulletproof, which can withstand rounds coming small from arms fire."
"Even the glass?" Li Bing asked and knocked on the window.
"Yes, I said everything." Cai Ning nodded. "The engine is also modified so that when in pursuit, the vehicle isn't much different from a super racing car, except for the drag sacrifice because of the shape which we can't modify at all. But in terms of the propulsion system, we aren't behind."
"As long as our driving skills are top notched, catching racing maniac is as easy as catching a pie falling from the sky." Sergeant Mi added from the side.
Cai Ning didn't refute the claim. Though City N police crackdown harshly on organized crime groups and gangs, they rarely solved street-racing events. Because compared to threats posed by the factors, street racers posed little threat.
"What's these buttons?" Alan asked out of a sudden. Not to mention him, even Li Bing, and most audience were puzzled by the smart atmosphere. The car appeared more digital, with screens and touches.
Cai Ning demonstrated the features of the original Jaguar with pride. "There are many, you can find in most luxurious cars. For example, with these buttons, you have leg massage and back massage."
Cai Ning pressed the buttons and leaned on the couch with comfort as the upper layer of the cushion moved, pressing her back muscles, causing her to groan. "It feels good. You guys should try it."
Sergeant Mi had her lips twitched. She had seen many of her colleagues enjoying 5-star treatment on the patrol car. However, this was the first time she saw Cai Ning hum.
Alan and Li Bing widened their eyes and also began to experiment themselves. Like Cai Ning described, the sensation and relaxation from the seat felt like heaven.
Both lamented differences in treatment depending on the capital. The car they rented couldn't even catch a shadow of a police patrol car.
Holy shit, was the officer enjoying supreme class benefits? The two became envious. In fact, not only the couple, the audience in the barrage were spitting dissatisfaction.
[What's this? Massage instruments included?]
[Don't talk about it. Even I suspect myself of working in the wrong job.]
[What a corrupt life? Are you sure our officer will be doing the job instead of lazing around? After all, humans are born to be lazy.]
[Hey, I'm still in the police academy. I wonder if I should connect with my future colleagues in Province N, City N. Such life is what I dream of.]
[You sure above? There are always violent crackdowns and dangers every day. Didn't we observe a live kidnapping once last time by the gangs? Although they were taken care of by special units, you as a recruit should be mindful of these factors.]
[Please, I'm just saying. How can I come to another province unless I'm being transferred?]
[In any case, I'm now envious. Don't know about others but I'm now thinking of working at City N as a police officer. Such treatment you would never have throughout my life.]
[Above, don't be so pessimistic. There are always many paths to reach the same goal.]
The barrage was filled with lemons, realizing police officers' privilege when patrolling after Cai Ning's show off. Who dared to say, patrolling was a daunting task and exhausting?
"Chief Cai, won't this treatment affect officers' abilities on the scene? You should know what I'm referring to." Li Bing asked cautiously.
"I understand. The situation is that both Chief Yang and I share the same worries when we notice these benefits. However, we decided to see if people would indulge and destroy themselves. Fortunately, our subordinates proved our conjecture wrong." Cai Ning said with pride.
"They may enjoy when they are free, I don't deny these scenarios but facts have shown that their morales and energies peak tremendously during their job. I'm not a researcher but I can see that when people feel happy, they achieve more."
Li Bing: "But won't you be wasting donor's money?"
"Well, I guess you don't understand, Ms. Li." Cai Ning interrupted. "Ms. Ling donated the entire fleet, already modified for us. So, it's not that we bought them but we are given."
"To be honest, I don't even want to ride the old ones after receiving these gifts from Ms. Ling," added Sergeant Mi as she steered the Jaguar out of the parking zone and drove off.
The car slowed down and Sergeant Mi said. "Look toward the side, after driving new modernized ones, who wants to handle the antique."
Li Bing and Alan looked and turned the broadcasting device in the direction pointed out by Sergeant Mi. They also agreed silently. The difference was heaven and hell. The dirty square frame and missing paint even caused the couple to wonder whether the vehicle was still capable.
[Pfft. No wonder they never want to touch them again. I'll also behave the same.]
[But that's betrayal. These old cars have accompanied them and solved their crisis.]
[It's called throwing away the old and loving the new, in case you haven't heard them, above.]
[These vehicles don't seem too bad. They are in a way cute at least.]
[Cute until you can't even keep up with the criminals.]
"Of course, it's only the antique, there are still vehicles, that we can utilize," said Sergeant Mi.
"Naturally, since we have too many extras, we're considering transferring these to the township stations under our prefecture." Cai Ning said.
[I'm sure, other stations might be throwing rocks at our Officer Cai for saying this with arrogance.]
Amidst the conversation, the car left the garage and joined in the traffic while Cai Ning and Sergeant Mi answered any questions asked by the fans and the couples.
The best way to interact with the public was to let others understand what hurdles and challenges officers had to face daily.
Today, Cai Ning didn't plan to delve into this situation yet because she wanted to raise public interest first.
