Even after the pre-patrol meeting ended, the shock had yet to fade from many of the constables' faces. A new star was ascending in the Nanquan Alley Town Patrol Office.
For Chen Ping'an to become a Preparatory Constable before he was even twenty years old meant that a position as a full Constable was all but guaranteed for him in the future.
Word of Chen Ping'an's new status as a Preparatory Constable, spread by the many other constables, slowly began to circulate throughout Nanquan Lane.
Changes among the official constables of the Town Patrol Office were one thing, but an appointment to Preparatory Constable was no small matter for the gangs of Nanquan Lane.
In terms of status, a Preparatory Constable in the Nanquan Alley Town Patrol Office ranked even higher than the leaders of the various gangs!
Chen Ping'an was also pleasantly surprised by his own promotion. He never imagined it would happen; Mu Wanjun certainly hadn't mentioned it to him.
