After Zhang Beixing finished speaking, Teacher Liu, who was beside him, practically had his eyes popping.

Any topic people enjoyed listening to was a good topic. There's nothing wrong with that! This was what Teacher Liu was thinking as he listened to Zhang Beixing's words.

The young policewoman pondered for a moment, then said vaguely, "This... I'm very sorry, I'm not entirely sure either... After all, the identities of these people are not yet fully clear, and we're still investigating."

"However, what I can tell you is that if these people really are terrorists, our Yanjing City Police Department certainly won't treat you two unfairly. After all, your actions have helped us eliminate a potential threat!"

Because she hadn't participated in the interrogation, the young policewoman wasn't entirely sure about the final outcome. For the time being, she could only speak ambiguously, trying to fob off Zhang Beixing.

Had it been someone else who heard her words, they probably wouldn't have said anything more. But unfortunately for the young policewoman, she was dealing with Zhang Beixing. As a regular at the police station, Zhang Beixing had been in so many times; he hadn't learned nothing from it and knew the ropes, so to speak.

Hearing this clearly evasive response, Zhang Beixing narrowed his eyes. "So, from what you're saying, if these people aren't terrorists, you'll hold us responsible later?"

"No, no, that's not what I mean. We definitely won't hold you responsible for that either, because we found controlled knives on them. It's just... uh... Anyway, there should be a reward in the end, right?" the young policewoman said, also uncertain.

She was also somewhat baffled. So much time had passed; why hadn't her colleagues come to relieve her and inform her of the outcome yet? If only they had told her the details of the matter, she wouldn't be in this predicament, would she? Why was interrogating these people taking so long? the young policewoman wondered.

Zhang Beixing, on the other hand, nodded after hearing her words and said with understanding, "Alright, as long as there's a reward, that makes things simple!"

Then he turned to Liu Yi. "Teacher Liu, did you hear that? Your 'Outstanding Citizen Representative' award should be a sure thing, barring any surprises!"

"Huh??" The young policewoman snapped back to her senses, looking at Zhang Beixing with a bewildered expression.

Liu Yi, however, chuckled and said, "Heard it, heard it!"

Although the young policewoman hadn't given a clear answer, considering the controlled knives found on those people and what they had been discussing when they gathered, Liu Yi was almost certain. This time, for the 'Outstanding Citizen Representative' award, if it wasn't an absolute certainty, it was at least a nine-out-of-ten probability!

After all, what kind of decent folk would go out late at night carrying knives, especially so many of them, apparently planning to stir up trouble? Even if the investigation ultimately revealed Zhang Beixing had misheard and these people weren't terrorists, with the way they looked and acted, they were one hundred percent not good news. They had to be involved in some other illegal activities at the very least.

By then, he, Liu Yi, as one of the enthusiastic citizens who helped apprehend these individuals, how could he not be awarded the 'Outstanding Citizen' title? At this thought, Liu Yi's posture straightened considerably.

He imagined himself being awarded the 'Outstanding Citizen' medal under a barrage of camera flashes. From then on, they would be a pair of representatives: his Disciple, the 'Outstanding Youth Representative,' and he, the 'Outstanding Citizen Representative.' Liu Yi's mind grew animated.

So, he turned to Zhang Beixing and asked, "So... Beixing, what do you think your master should wear when I go to receive the 'Outstanding Citizen Representative' award? Casual wear, or a suit? If I wear casual clothes, will it make me look too laid-back? But if I wear a suit, at my age and with my build, wouldn't it look a bit out of place?"

Hearing Liu Yi's words, Zhang Beixing sized him up for a moment, pondered briefly, and then offered his opinion: "My assessment is, you'd be better off wearing a Sun Yat-sen suit. It's dignified and composed, perfectly showcasing a Grandmaster's demeanor!"

At these words, Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up! "Excellent! An excellent Sun Yat-sen suit! 'Dignified and composed, perfectly showcasing a Grandmaster's demeanor!' Truly my Disciple, to see at a glance what suits your master best!"

"Unlike my brother. I share such great news with him, and he just..." He trailed off. "Forget it, let's not talk about that jinx! Come, come, Beixing, let's you and I—master and Disciple—discuss this. For my Sun Yat-sen suit, what color would be best? Currently, there's black, gray, navy blue, and army green. Should I get one with pockets or without? A lapel collar or a mandarin collar? And what should I wear underneath?"

"..."

Brimming with enthusiasm, Liu Yi pulled Zhang Beixing along and began discussing what clothes he should wear when receiving the award.

Seeing Liu Yi so worked up, Zhang Beixing also began to seriously analyze the options for him.

Sitting nearby, the young policewoman observed that even though nothing was set in stone yet, the two of them were already planning the subsequent award ceremony. While it was highly probable it would indeed happen, they were really something else! Don't people say one should do good deeds without seeking recognition? The young policewoman's mouth twitched; she was quite speechless.

But after a moment's thought, she still offered a reminder, "Um... although there's no explicit rule, if one doesn't hold a particularly high status, it's advisable to get a Sun Yat-sen suit with a mandarin collar, not a lapel collar."

"Oh, right, right, you're correct, there is such a guideline. I was too excited just now and forgot about it. Thanks!" Liu Yi exclaimed. Then the two of them, plus the young policewoman, began to discuss how to go about buying a Sun Yat-sen suit.
