402 Surprise (7)

Yin Liu smiled. "Congratulations, Yunru. And keep up the good work."

For the first time, he felt as if he needed someone to hold him. Everything had went so fast that he could barely digest it.

"This...I really cannot…"

Chief Xu Hui stood up and said, "You have to accept it, Yunru," he chuckled. "It's the gratitude you have earned. The lives you saved pales in comparison to this number. This is not some favor. We want you to feel happy by it, not burdened. This is just another way of recognizing you apart from the medal and promotion."

He was silent. He thought about what to say and how to respond, but in the end, he only bowed. "Thank you. I will always cherish this medal. I will strive my best to give justice to my new position as the Chief and not disappoint you. And this…"

His heart raced like crazy. "I promise to make the best use of this money."

"Congratulations!" The officers clapped loudly and cheered his name.
