Chapter 948. Failing Your Conscience
Liu Meng dragged Xia Zhi out of the hotel and wandered around until she found someone selling barbecue on the side of the road. She stopped only after that, and for at least half an hour, the barbecue stall was specially serving barbecue for Liu Meng. Moreover, the speed of his barbecue couldn't compare to Liu Meng's speed of eating meat.
After having just eaten dinner, he hadn't eaten in the summer. Right now, he was waiting to eat Liu Meng's white bread.
"Little Scoundrel, I'm full. Take me to a fun place to play!" Liu Meng didn't have any plans of giving summer buns to eat right now. She had specifically come here to play.
Summer could not help but feel a little awkward, "Big Sister Meng, there's nothing here that's interesting!"
"Liar, you definitely don't want to take me to play!" Liu Meng immediately became unhappy, "Little Scoundrel, if you don't bring me to play, I won't give you any steamed buns later!"
Summer felt very innocent. He wanted to eat Big Sister Meng's steamed buns, but it wasn't that he didn't want to take her to play. The problem was, he didn't think this place was fun. Where should he take her to play?
After thinking for a while, he finally thought of a place in the summer, which was the plaza he went to at noon. Although there wasn't much fun there, but he really couldn't think of a better place, so he decided to take Liu Meng there first.
The square was quite lively at night. In the middle of the square, there was a fountain open and music playing, and many people were walking and dancing in the square. Most of them were adults taking their children to play in the square, and there were also many vendors around the square, but most of them were selling toys.
Although Liu Meng didn't have much interest in the square, she was obviously very interested in those little toys. She immediately pulled him along to buy a bunch of different toys, and after that, they began to have fun on the square, just like the kids who were a few years old. It seemed like Liu Meng definitely hadn't played with these toys before when she was young.
And summer also happy, looks like tonight can still eat the big steamed bun that is steaming hot and soft as you wish.
… ….
Looking at the time, it was already 10 pm. Yun Qing subconsciously looked at the door, feeling a little disappointed. The summer was still not here yet, so she probably wouldn't be able to accompany her tonight.
"Sis, Brother-in-law won't come. Can I sleep with you?" Shi Quan pulled Yun Qing along before yawning. This little girl was already very sleepy.
"Mm, okay, let's go to bed." Yun Qing nodded her head. Of course she knew that Shi Jun didn't want to sleep with her; he just wanted her to sleep with him.
"Uncle Shi, we'll go to sleep now." Yun Qing said to Shi Chang Geng before pulling Shi Quan upstairs.
At this moment, the doorbell rang. Shi Xiaohu stood up to open the door, and very quickly, a man in his thirties walked in. This man had a medium height, and gave off a very refined feeling.
"So it's Commissioner Hong. Take a seat." Shi Chang Geng's tone was flat, and then he waved his hand, "Xiao Hu, Xiu Mei, you two should go rest as well. Director Hong told me to come and greet them."
"Yes, Uncle Geng." Shi Xiaohu and Yun Xiumei also left quickly. The only ones left in the living room were Shi Chang Geng and the man who just came in.
However, this man hadn't sat down yet. He looked a bit frightened: "Director Shi, please don't call me that. If you call me that, I won't dare to sit."
"You are now the Deputy Chief, and as the Acting Bureau Chief, it is only right to call you Commissioner Hong. If you do not, how else can you command the several hundred police officers of Mu Yang County?" Shi Chang Geng said leisurely.
"Director Shi, I know you're angry at me, but ever since your accident, I haven't said or done anything, but, Director Shi, it's not that I don't want to say I don't want to do it, but I've always listened to your teachings. You've said before, if something happens to you, no matter what, I won't help you speak, because only then can I truly help you, and only by continuing to stabilize my position will I be able to help you take care of your daughter." The man said with sincerity.
Hearing this, a strange look flashed across Shi Chang Geng's eyes. He then slowly stood up and brought over a bottle of wine and two cups, "Come, Little Hong, accompany me for a drink."
"Yes, Director Shi." Hearing this familiar name, Little Hong was finally relieved, "Come, Director Shi, let me pour some wine for you."
The two sat facing each other, and Shi Chang Geng didn't refuse. He gave the wine to Little Hong and then slowly said, "Little Hong, I'm no longer the bureau chief, so don't call me Commissioner Shi. This is not good for others to hear."
"But, Director Shi..." Little Hong was stunned and wanted to say something.
Shi Chang Geng waved his hand, "Little Hong, did you know? We are all from Moyang County, and both of us are from outside the country. In those years, I graduated from a police academy, and you are also a top student of the Criminal Investigation Department at the University of Political Science and Law. In a small place like Moyang County, it is very rare for people like us to come to the police, so I understand that you have no background like me, otherwise we would not have come to this place. "
After pausing for a moment, Shi Chang Geng then said, "Little Hong, I'm almost twenty years older than you. I've always treated you like a nephew, if you really think highly of me, this old man who's about to pass out, then call me Uncle Geng."
"Yes, Uncle Geng." Little Hong quickly agreed. "Shaohui has always kept Uncle Geng's care of me in mind, so I also haven't forgotten what he taught me. I've always remembered Uncle Geng's words, we can be a disobedient police, but we can't be a dishonest police."
"As long as you remember." "I, Shi Chang Geng, have done many illegal things in the past few decades, but I, Shi Chang Geng, have always had a clear conscience. I also hope that you can always live up to your conscience, and differentiate clearly between what you should and should not do."
"Uncle Geng, I will remember this. Although Uncle Geng has taught me a lot, I still haven't become as good as you. I'm afraid I have a lot of things to ask of you in the future. I just don't know if you'll think I'll bother you like this?" Hong Shaohui's tone carried a hint of a probing tone.
