Two police cruisers finally reached the end of what felt like an infinite driveway. They parked in a neat line at the bottom of the entry steps leading to the palatial mansion. Four officers stepped out of the vehicles, followed by a stern-looking older man in a more decorated uniform than them.
One of three male officers couldn’t help but gape at the surroundings. "Holy! If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that there’s such an incredible place like this in our country. The lives of the wealthy are no joke."
The other three officers agreed with him. They had been in the homes of other wealthy people before but this was definitely the most luxurious property that they had seen in person. It looked more like a palace fit for European royalty.
"But man, those security checkpoints throughout the subdivision are even stricter than what we have at the headquarters," another male officer comment.
"I know, right? They didn’t spare us even though we’re police."
"We’re not here to arrest someone, just routine visit, so we entered normally to avoid causing any unnecessary panic," the only female officer in the group said. "We can breeze through any private checkpoints if we have a warrant of arrest."
The others nodded. All of them already knew this basic procedure. They were just grumbling because this place’s security was indeed too extreme. They spent more than half an hour from when they entered the exclusive village’s gate before finally arriving to their destination, Dragon Palace Home #10.
There was a deliberate cough behind them, interrupting their conversation. They stopped chatting in an instant and stood to attention before saluting to the older man who came with them.
"Chief!"
The Chief of Police returned their salutes and began leading them up the steps where the butler and a few bodyguards were waiting to welcome them. There was no hesitation in his actions at all.
His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings. He couldn’t see them but he could feel many eyes watching their arrival. His instinct and decades of experience in the force allowed him to sense the danger that this property’s security posed to anyone daring to launch an attack inside.
Although he had been here before to attend Iris Long and Jin Liwei’s secret, surprise wedding with his wife and her long-time friends and had witnessed the property’s topnotch security firsthand, he still couldn’t help but mentally sigh in admiration again. He could tell that each member of the security was highly skilled. If only he could poach them to join the police, they would definitely be a welcome addition to increase the force’s overall quality. Unfortunately, the force couldn’t pay them as much as Jin Liwei. All the country could promise them was the respect and honour as members of the police.
He thought that it was such a big waste that these highly skilled individuals were stuck in this place when they could become more useful members of society by catching criminals and helping ensure the safety of the citizens, not just one family, even if it was a billionaire’s family. Sighing in his heart, he could only shake away his disappointment.
