The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 481 Receiving Recognition

For the next period of time, there was nothing for Qin Chuan's team to pay special attention to regarding the anti-drug squad.

Lin Yang's intelligence department and Zhang Chao's special operations team have been very busy these past two days, with many people who hadn't been active before now being rounded up and arrested.

Meanwhile, news from overseas has also been fully transmitted over.

With the fall of the Illuminati, the outside world has descended into complete chaos, significantly reducing the anti-drug pressure on the Linjiang Provincial Narcotics Control Team.

Moreover, this chaos should last for at least three to five years, during which time the pressure on the Linjiang Provincial Narcotics Control Team will gradually decrease.

Three days after Lin Yueting made the phone call to Qin Chuan, he also received a notice that he should go to Beijing next Monday to attend the commendation ceremony for outstanding individuals and models.

This was Qin Chuan's first time visiting the capital; he had never been there in his previous life.

In his previous life, Qin Chuan lived in that small town.

I've only been to the provincial capital a few times.

This time, they're actually going to the capital to receive an award.

Of course, Qin Chuan wasn't the only one receiving the honor this time; there was another person with him.

Qin Chuan had also heard some of the other party's deeds.

The other party was also a colleague on the anti-drug front, who had cracked hundreds of drug cases and seized hundreds of tons of drugs in the 20 years since joining the company.

He also went deep behind enemy lines to do undercover work.

Over the years, he has been awarded the Special Merit Citation twice, the First Merit Citation three times, the Second Merit Citation three times, and the Third Merit Citation too many to count; his chest is covered with medals.

Earlier this year, he was shot during a drug bust. I heard he was shot seven times and almost died.

Being a police officer is always a high-risk job; life and death can be decided in an instant.

When Jin Chuan worked in the administrative department, he knew that the average lifespan of police officers across the country was around 42 years old.

Some of them sacrificed their lives, some died suddenly, and their lifespan was nearly 20 years shorter than the average lifespan of a normal person.

The average lifespan of anti-drug police officers is even shorter than 42 years old, and it is drastically shortened, with an average age of only 31 years old.

In other words, once you enter the anti-drug force and live past 31, the average age of anti-drug police officers will inevitably rise. This illustrates just how dangerous this profession is.

Of course, it's life-threatening, but doing the work means making a contribution, and thus having more opportunities to be awarded.

In the past two years, anti-drug police officers have been among the heroes and role models commended by the ministries almost every year, although it is not to say that heroes and role models are commended every year.

This year, the ministry only commended two British officers, both of whom were narcotics officers.

This shows just how dangerous it is for anti-drug police officers.

This time, Qin Chuan's trip to Beijing wasn't just him alone; Vice Governor Yang Jinguo from the provincial government represented Linjiang Province.

Liu Baichuan also attended.

Qin Chuan originally wanted to meet Lin Yueting after arriving in Beijing, but since there were leaders present, they went directly to stay at the ministry's guesthouse.

Because the official commendation ceremony is tomorrow, and the ceremony definitely requires a rehearsal, Qin Chuan couldn't go out. Once they arrived at the guesthouse, someone arranged for them to participate in the rehearsal.

"Tomorrow, the head of the ministry will personally award you medals. You must demonstrate the style of the police in Linjiang Province."

Yang Jinguo confessed personally.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely complete the task!"

Qin Chuan confidently gave his assurance.

The next day soon arrived.

Early in the morning, people from Qin Chuan and many police representatives who were attending the commendation ceremony entered the conference hall together.

Although this was an awards ceremony recognizing heroes and role models, there were also police representatives from various regions who had received special-class and first-class merit awards.

However, Qin Chuan and another anti-drug police officer received the highest commendation.

The ceremony was solemn and dignified. Qin Chuan and another anti-drug police officer sat in the very center of the front row, wearing big red flowers on their chests.

"Next, we will award the Medals of Honor! Please come forward to receive your medals! Please..."

Qin Chuan and another colleague who was receiving an award walked confidently onto the stage.

The head of the ministry, seated in the very center of the dais, personally presented the medals to the two of them!

"Qin Chuan, I know you. On behalf of the people's police across the country, I hereby award you the title of Heroic Model!"
