He couldn't bear to watch any longer and got up to leave.
Mo Huaixing saw his father leave, and soon after, he also went out. That day, Gan Tang told him that Lu Zhengqian was coming to see an old friend. He subconsciously thought that Lu Zhengqian was his mole in the police force, but later he finally realized that the old friend Lu Zhengqian was talking about was his father.
In the men's restroom, Sheng Weide leaned on the sink with both hands. His weathered back looked as if he might collapse at any moment, but his loose clothes clearly showed his straight back.
Mo Huaixing silently walked to the sink next to him, turned on the tap to wash his hands, and used the length of the water flow to convey a message: In early next month, a batch of goods will enter through the Meiwu Port; the truck will be transporting durians. You check the people, I'll keep an eye on the goods.
Without eliminating the traitor, no one dares to take the next step lightly.
After reading his message, Sheng Weide angrily slammed his fist on the table and replied: Who let me over?
He should have passed these things on to his contact through a secret channel, instead of risking coming to see him.
Mo Huaixing: I'm worried about you.
The enemy was right in front of him, but the father could not expose his crimes to the public. Instead, he had to sit in the audience and watch him stand on the stage, looking glamorous, continuing to wreak havoc on the world and fool the people.
If it weren't for my incompetence, my father wouldn't have had to endure such humiliation in his sixties.
Sheng Weide glanced outside the restroom, snorted at him, and said in a low, angry voice, "What could possibly happen to me? Get out."
When it came to Fu Yuanshan, Sheng Weide would always lose his temper and take it out on him. He was used to arguing with him about other things, but he never did on this matter.
Since I am his closest relative, who else can he vent his anger on if not me?
"Take care of yourself." Mo Huaixing turned and left.
When Sheng Weide walked in, loud applause erupted in the hall, officially concluding the donation ceremony.
Lu Zhengqian stepped forward and shook hands with the detachment leader, smiling, "Detachment Leader Lou, let's go have a casual meal together."
“We are deeply grateful for Chairman Lu’s sponsorship. However, we can decline the meal; it’s against regulations,” Captain Lou politely declined. Lu Zhengqian then asked, “I’d like to go to the stadium later; I wonder if that will disturb everyone’s work?”
"How could that be?" However, Captain Lou was somewhat puzzled: "Chairman Lu is going in person?"
These are minor matters like surveying and procurement. He thought he would find a day and have his employees handle it.
Lu Zhengqian glanced at Sheng Weide and smiled, "It is my honor to do my part for our people's heroes, especially heroes like Deputy Detachment Leader Sheng who risk their lives to protect us. Of course, I will do my best."
"Chairman Lu is truly decisive and efficient," Captain Lou said apologetically. "However, I have to go to a meeting at the bureau right away. How about we reschedule for another day?"
"We can't trouble you any further, we'll go by ourselves." Actually, Lu Zhengqian knew he had a meeting, which is why he specifically chose this day. But since he was a guest, how could he let him go by himself?
When Lou Zhidui saw that he mentioned Sheng Weide, he took the opportunity to ask him to accompany Lu Zhengqian in his place.
“No problem!” Sheng Weide met Fu Yuanshan’s fake smile with a sharp look.
Lu Zhengqian bowed politely and followed him toward the stadium. Thirty years had passed, and this was probably the first time they had walked quietly beside each other like this.
Looking at Sheng Weide's newly grown white hair, Lu Zhengqian said sarcastically, "Captain Sheng, after all these years, how come you're only a deputy branch secretary? You don't work hard enough!"
Sheng Weide sneered: "Those who cannot deceive the world will naturally not rise as high as Chairman Lu."
“Yes!” Lu Zhengqian echoed, “Captain Sheng has lived up to the expectations of the country and the people, and he has also lived up to the expectations of his comrades, wives and children. He is naturally an upright and honorable person.”
At this point, Sheng Weide's face was extremely pale, but he still forced himself to remain composed.
Lu Zhengqian admired the change in his expression and continued, "I, a drug dealer who used to hide all the time, owe my current success to Captain Sheng."
With a "bang," Sheng Weide punched Lu Zhengqian in the face.
At this moment, Gan Tang, Mo Huaixing, and Ali were all left outside the stadium's mesh fence by Lu Zhengqian. Upon seeing this, Ali hurriedly ran inside.
Gan Tang asked curiously, "Is Deputy Squad Leader Sheng the old friend Dad mentioned?"
But she looked more like an enemy. She looked at Mo Huaixing beside her in confusion and found that his fists were clenched. Although his face had not changed much, she could clearly feel the pain and hatred surrounding him.
"What's wrong?"
These past few days, she had deliberately kept her distance from him, but seeing him like this, she couldn't help but reach out and take his hand, wanting to soothe his pain.
When her warm fingertips touched his cold palm, Mo Huaixing unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand, and gradually, his palm warmed up.
"It's nothing." Mo Huaixing withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the girl beside him. Suddenly, he pulled Gan Tang into his arms, turned around, and held her.
As soon as Gan's feet touched the ground, still feeling dizzy, she heard Mo Huaixing's voice in her ear: "There's a girl in a pink dress right in front of you, do you see her?"
Gan Tang had never seen Mo Huaixing so nervous; even his heartbeat was erratic.
"I saw it." She nodded absently.
"Don't let her see me." With that, Mo Huaixing hurriedly walked in the opposite direction from her.
The girl seemed to have seen him too, and hurriedly ran over. Gan Tang pretended to be walking with his head down, and bumped into her.
The girl's phone fell to the ground, the screen lit up, displaying a heartwarming photo. On the Ferris wheel, the girl leaned on Mo Huaixing's shoulder, her dimples radiating a gentle smile, her eyes full of dependence; while he, spirited and energetic, looked at her with tenderness.
Back then, he was still very young, and the girl was even younger; only her eyebrows and eyes hinted at her current appearance.
They were childhood sweethearts, no wonder they got married so young.
Gan Tang picked up the phone, handed it back to the girl, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't see it. Did I hurt you?"
"It's okay!" The girl watched the man's figure disappear around the corner, then looked away dejectedly and wiped the dust off the screen.
Looking at his face, the girl's eyes filled with tears, and she muttered to herself, "How could it be you? I must be dreaming again."
Gan Tang felt a little sore looking at the photo and subconsciously asked, "Is the person in the photo your husband? What happened to him?"
"What's it to you?" Seemingly unaware that the person beside her hadn't left yet, the girl hurriedly put away her phone, her eyes wary, as if worried that her most precious possession would be stolen.
Gan Tang felt a sudden pang of guilt and hurriedly looked away, heading towards the track.
Footsteps sounded behind her. The girl stepped past Gantang and ran straight towards Sheng Weide, calling out, "Father Sheng."
Oh no! If Lu Zhengqian sees Mo Huaixing's photo, the consequences will be unimaginable. Gan Tang hurriedly ran to Lu Zhengqian's side and urged, "Dad, let's go!"
