Chapter 418 It’s a Verb
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Zhou Qingshan was bewildered. Director Jia had called him before and asked him to handle this properly, and Luo Hao hinted that he would be rewarded well, if he brought only Xiao Bing in. That was the reason why he dared to make such a decision publicly. But Director Jia was now asking him why he brought Xiao Bing in. How was he supposed to answer this question?
Zhou Qingshan Qingshan said in a low voice, “Director Jia, Luo Hao called me just now. He said this man injured his men. He wants this man punished.”
“Bullshit!” Director Jia cursed on the phone. “Zhou Qingshan, I must remind you that you’re the people’s police, which means that you should have the ability to discern what’s right and what’s wrong. Luo Hao was also involved in the fight. You can’t only listen to his testimony. Now let Mr. Xiao go. I’ll discuss it with you later.”
Director Jia’s voice was so loud that everyone around him heard what he said on the phone. Zhou Qingshan felt awkward. All the others looked contrite, except for Xiao Bing and Red Rose.
Zhou Qingshan felt chagrined. He went for wool but came home shorn. Later he felt terrified. He knew Xiao Bing must have something to do with Director Jia’s change of attitude. Xiao Bing merely made a call and Director Jia chose him over Luo Hao. He could not imagine how powerful this man was.
Zhou Qingshan earned his position with his skill of gauging his superiors’ minds. He felt frightened when he thought of the words he just heard. He decided that no matter what happened, he had to make amends with the man he just offended. Otherwise, he would suffer the consequences.
While Zhou Qingshan planned to end the call, Director Jia suddenly said, “Give your phone to Mr. Xiao. I want to talk to him.”
Zhou Qingshan did not dare to refuse. Smiling awkwardly, he passed the phone to Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing took the phone with a sneer and said casually, “Hello!”
“Hey… You’re Mr. Xiao, right? I’m Jia Zhengjing…” Jia Zhengjing sounded like he wanted to please Xiao Bing.
“You’re the one who said that I should be arrested, right?”
Xiao Bing’s words startled Jia Zhengjing. He explained instantly, “It’s a misunderstanding. Frankly speaking, it’s my subordinate’s fault. He misunderstood my words. The head of the National Security Bureau just called me and criticized me for my ineptitude. I will have a deep self-reflection after this. And I promise you that this issue will be investigated into seriously. I will not spare them for their mistakes. Perhaps you will tell this to that officer?”
Monitor was the leader of the National Security Bureau. He was the leader of the central government, while Jia Zhengjing was only a Director in a city. The gap between them was huge. Monitor had just criticized him. Jia Zhengjing was at a crucial point of his promotion. His career could be influenced by a single word from Monitor’s mouth. That was why he was terrified. Though it seemed to be only a small issue, he surmised that Xiao Bing was not as simple as he seemed. He did not dare to be complacent on this matter, so he handed the phone to Xiao Bing quickly, hoping that the negative influences of this matter would soon be dispelled.
Xiao Bing looked at Zhou Qingshan, who seemed very eager to please him. Xiao Bing laughed and said, “Director Jia, it’s just a small issue. But I found some problems among your police team,”
Jia Zhengjing was startled. He asked, “Mr. Xiao, please tell me about them.”
“Let’s take today’s case for example. Why is there someone who wants to curry favor with Luo Hao, and have me thrown in prison for dozens of years, without any proof? The police should be here to serve the people. They can never be superior to the people. They are equal and ought to respect each other. But the haughtiness I saw today means that some corruption could be happening. If this problem is not taken care of properly, Monitor will still be angry, no matter what I tell him. I want to see the action, instead of merely hearing the words.”
Zhou Qingshan broke out in a cold sweat. Jia Zhengjing asked tentatively, “Mr. Xiao Bing, who do you think is the culprit?”
Xiao Bing smiled, “I think Zhang Jianxun is doing well in his position. However, being only a vice-director is unworthy of his talents. Do all public servants earn their position by flattering others? Then why are the capable ones only at a deputy post, while the foolish ones are at the principal posts. It’s hard for me to understand!”
Zhou Qingshan looked gloomy, thinking that his career was about to come to an end. He only hoped that Jia Zhengjing would not listen to this man. But there was delight in Zhang Jianxun’s eyes. No one dislikes promotion. And it seemed that this Director Jia respected Xiao Bing’s suggestions, and he might listen to input from Xiao Bing. The words Director Jia said meant a lot to him.
Jia Zhengjing felt relieved. As long as it was not about him, he need not be worried. It was worthwhile to sacrifice a director to ensure the safety of his career. Jian Zhengjing instantly said seriously, “Mr. Xiao Bing, your views sound very reasonable. There are some parasites in the police system. We will get rid of them and open the posts to those who are suitable for the job. I promise you that we will find out if Zhou Qingshan has flouted any of our rules. Before that, Zhan Jianxun will take over his post. We will give you a satisfactory answer several days later.”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “If that’s true, Monitor will be elated. But it’s a problem in your police force. It’s not appropriate for me to intervene. I’m just giving some feedback.”
“We are the people’s servants, which means we must listen to our people. Don’t worry, we will handle this matter seriously.”
Xiao Bing said, “Then I’ll be waiting for your good news. Okay, I will give the phone back to Zhou Qingshan. We should put an end to this now.”
Xiao Bing gave the cellphone back to Zhou Qingshan, who looked very upset. When he tried to talk to Jia Zhengjing, he had already hung up.
Xiao Bing said, “I suppose I won’t be held in detention? If so, I should go back with my girlfriend. We were planning to buy that dress but we were brought here. What a bummer…”
Zhang Jianxun said, “I will send you back.”
Zhou Qingshan had lost any interest in trying to please Xiao Bing, since his career was already at the brink of ruination. But he still did not dare to offend Xiao Bing. His hatred was focused on Luo Hao. He thought it was Luo Hao who had caused all these problems. But he did not dare to offend him either. He could only suffer the consequences on his own.
After they left the police station, Xiao Bing suddenly said, “Actually you should thank your conscience, not me. I hope you will be promoted soon. But remember what Zhou Qingshan said: You are the people’s police. But he is not taking it seriously. I hope you will work by that code.”
Zhang Jianxun said sternly, “I will always bear it in my mind.”
“It is inevitable that there will be some parasites among you. But you must believe that the good will always out outnumber the bad, regardless of the industry. We must have faith in people’s consciences and in the police.”
Zhang Jianxun said, “I will remember it.”
“Good.” Xiao Bing sounded like a leader and Zhang Jianxun did not feel strange about it. What Xiao Bing said greatly inspired him. Actually he was disappointed in his colleagues, especially Zhou Qingshan. But now Xiao Bing had renewed his confidence in this country and the people in it, which would help him serve the people better.
Xiao Bing and Red Rose returned to that shop. The salesgirl was surprised that Xiao Bing managed to return so quickly. She thought Xiao Bing must not be an ordinary man since he was able to come back so soon after he was taken to the police station, because of a fight. Then she respected Xiao Bing even more.
Xiao Bing bought Red Rose the dress she had chosen. Red Rose went to the dressing room and tried it on. When she came out, Xiao Bing’s heart almost stopped. All the staff and customers gasped, as they looked at her.
Red Rose’s skin was smooth as silk. She was tall, beautiful and had a superior temperament. Even the most beautiful celebrities could not be compared to her. She seemed less bewitching in this dress, and instead, looked as aloof as a goddess.
Xiao Bing swallowed hard. Red Rose walked up to him and asked smilingly, “What do you think?”
Xiao Bing held Red Rose’s waist and pressed a certain part of his body against her thighs. He whispered in her ears with a sneaky smile, “I want to sleep…and that is a verb.”
