Chapter 1536 Justice may be late but it will never be absent
Wei Dongliang was the first to move.
The iron-tower-like director of the pre-trial bureau strode out of the queue and walked a few steps to Li Xiangnan.
He didn't say anything, but just stretched out his big hand like a palm-leaf fan and slapped Li Xiangnan's shoulder heavily and firmly!
"Snapped!"
The sound was particularly clear in the silence.
"Good boy!"
Wei Dongliang's voice was as resonant as a bell, carrying the unique roughness of a veteran police officer and unreserved admiration, making people's eardrums buzz. "I've been doing preliminary investigations for half my life, and I've considered myself to have seen capable people! But you're the first one who can handle a case so thoroughly, so completely, so... so damn convincing!"
He squeezed Li Xiangnan's shoulders hard, his eyes wide open. "If there's another tough bone you can't chew, I'll tie you up and bring you here! Don't even think about running away!"
That tone, domineering yet revealing immense trust and comrade-like intimacy, makes my blood boil!
Wen Xianping followed closely behind.
The frost on the face of this discipline inspection commission cadre, who has always been known for his steadiness and seriousness, seemed to have melted a little.
He walked up to Li Xiangnan. His movements were not as bold as Wei Dongliang's, but he also stretched out his hand and patted Li Xiangnan's other shoulder with the same force.
"Comrade Li Xiangnan," Wen Xianping's voice remained low, but each word was clear and metallic. "You not only solved the poisoning case, but you also peeled back the lid, allowing us to see the iceberg beneath the surface! This insight, this commitment... is truly admirable!"
He paused, his eyes sweeping sharply across the crowd before returning to Li Xiangnan's face. He lowered his voice, yet spoke with immense force, "Although the Shen Yujing case has come to an end, there's still a long way to go in the fight against corruption! The country needs your abilities!"
The shock and appreciation in his eyes were like a heavy medal, silently awarded.
Fei Yiqing pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and walked forward steadily.
Instead of patting his shoulder, he extended his right hand to Li Xiangnan.
The two hands were clasped together, Fei Yiqing's hands were dry and strong, conveying a solemn recognition among colleagues.
"Comrade Li Xiangnan," Fei Yiqing said, his voice as rigorous as ever, yet with an unprecedented warmth. "The chain of evidence you submitted is textbook-level in its logical rigor and precise evidence collection. This is not only a case-solving report, but also the 'ironclad evidence' that we prosecutors dream of!"
The eyes behind his glasses were filled with pure admiration and high recognition of professional ability. "The door of the procuratorate is always open to you. I look forward to fighting side by side with you again in the future on the road of defending the dignity of the law."
This evaluation from the Attorney General, who is known for his strictness, carries great weight.
Lan Tiangui almost stumbled forward.
The acting warden had red eyes and a pale face filled with deep gratitude for surviving a disaster.
He held Li Xiangnan's hands tightly with both hands, shook them vigorously, and choked with sobs:
"Doctor Li! Consultant Li! I... I, Lan Tiangui, on behalf of the entire prison, thank you! Thank you!"
His voice trembled, filled with fear and heartfelt gratitude. "If it weren't for you... if it weren't for your sharp eyes, finding Hu Qiyi and uncovering those damn loopholes... losing my hat would be a small matter, but the entire prison system would be disgraced! It was you... you who saved all of us!"
As he spoke, tears almost welled up in his eyes. It was an almost humble gratitude and admiration for his savior.
Wang Hebing, the prison's powerful deputy, also put away his former gangster attitude and looked solemn.
He took a step forward, without saying much, but just straightened his back and saluted Li Xiangnan with a very standard military salute!
The movements were clean and sharp, with the fortitude and respect that are unique to soldiers.
"Advisor Li! I, Wang Hebing, am a rough man and don't understand so many profound principles!"
His voice was resonant, carrying the frankness and passion typical of a veteran. "But I surrender to you! I'm convinced and I admire you! From now on, if you need me, Wang Hebing, I'll tell you one thing: I'll fight to the death, regardless of the consequences!"
The admiration in his eyes was as hot as fire.
Three medical giants, Lu Dingkun, Wang Dong and Liu Yishou, also stepped forward together.
Lu Dingkun spoke on behalf of the organization. The head of the Health Bureau had an expression on his face that showed sincere admiration for the amazing performance of the younger generation.
"Xiangnan," Lu Dingkun said with emotion, "I've lived most of my life thinking that medicine was just medicine. But your ability to solve cases with medical skills has really opened the eyes of old folks like us! Gas diffusion, rigorous reasoning, tit-for-tat confrontation... It's amazing! It's amazing!"
He shook his head, his admiration evident in his words.
Wang Dong added slowly but with a touch of excitement, "That's right! I've copied the emergency report and kept it for safekeeping! Doctor Li, you've pioneered a completely new, interdisciplinary way of thinking! Incredible!"
Liu Yishou patted Li Xiangnan's arm vigorously, grinning and saying, "Boy! Your brain is definitely at the level of a supercomputer! If you need to use your brain to solve any difficult problems in the future, remember to call me, Old Liu! I can help you out! I just want to learn from your crazy energy!"
The admiration and closeness in that tone were unreserved.
Finally, Guo Qian, the cadre who had always been calm and low-key and represented higher-level coordination, also slowly stepped forward.
With a gentle and solemn smile on his face, he extended his hand to Li Xiangnan.
"Comrade Li Xiangnan," Guo Qian said in a calm yet powerful voice, his gaze sweeping across the solemn crowd. "Look, this is the human heart, this is justice! You've earned everyone's respect with your wisdom, courage, and responsibility!"
He shook Li Xiangnan's hand vigorously. "Leader Song asked me to tell you: Have a good rest. Yanjing needs people like you to stabilize the city. The sky won't fall because there are people like you holding it up!"
Although the words are simple, they contain the highest affirmation and heavy expectations, which make people excited.
Li Xiangnan stood in the center of the crowd, enduring the fiery gazes and sincere emotions from all directions.
Wei Dongliang's heroic admiration, Wen Xianping's solemn recognition, Fei Yiqing's rigorous admiration, Lan Tiangui's tears of gratitude, Wang Hebing's brotherhood, the three medical masters' admiration and respect, Guo Qian's expectations and trust on behalf of the top management... and the silent but solemn salutes like mountains and seas from all the police and staff on both sides!
An indescribable warmth washed away the fatigue and coldness in my heart from the past few days.
This is not a personal honor, but a collective tribute to the justice that has been done and the truth that has been revealed!
It is the highest tribute to professional ability and fearless responsibility!
Justice may be late, but never absent!
He took a deep breath, straightened his back, and without any grand speeches, he bowed solemnly and deeply to the crowd standing on both sides and to all the faces that showed him respect.
When he stood up, his eyes were still calm, but with more determination and strength than when he came.
He took a step forward and walked through the slowly opening prison gate under the silent gaze of the crowd on both sides.
Outside the door, the morning sun was rising, shining with golden light, stretching his figure very long and straight into the distance.
Behind him was the heavy sound of the iron gate slowly closing, and the indelible salute forged by blood, admiration and silent oaths.
A new journey has begun.
"Zimo, Defa, let's go home!"
