Episode 7 recap: Cheng Bing secretly celebrated Tongtong's birthday.
The restaurant here is owned by Lao Liao, who prepared several dishes. Some people teased him, thinking that his wife might not be happy, but Lao Liao said that he has the final say here. Nowadays, most of us are no longer in the police force. Cai Bin is in business, and Shi Tou is a taxi driver. Cheng Bing drank with everyone and felt guilty towards them.
Everyone didn't think much of it because they couldn't blame Cheng Bing for this incident; it was just an accident. They think they are doing fine now. Lao Liao said that he used to work overtime every day, but now that he has his own shop, he can take care of his family. Lao Ma said he is about to retire with honor. They used to be detectives, and they just hope for peace and safety.
Someone mentioned Shi Tou, saying that he didn't have time for love before, but now he keeps changing girlfriends. Zhao Xiaomai's father rushed over and said that his daughter had been dead for 10 years. Wang Da Yong has been on the run for 10 years, and they couldn't find him at all. Yet, he still has the audacity to eat and drink here.
Shi Tou had initially subdued this person, but Cheng Bing told him to let go, saying that he was Zhao Xiaomai's father. Everyone didn't know what to say when they saw Zhao Xiaomai's father in such a state. After the gathering, Cheng Bing left, and everyone felt that Cheng Bing had changed a lot now and was completely different from before.
Lao Ma mentioned that Cheng Bing still remembered Zhao Xiaomai's father, indicating that Cheng Bing hadn't forgotten these things all these years. After Cheng Bing came back and drank here, Liuzi saw him and asked him to live a good life and not think too much.
Lin Ying told Pan Da Hai about recent case matters. Pan Da Hai asked if Lin Ying had seen Cheng Bing, and Lin Ying confirmed it. Pan Da Hai asked Lin Ying how Cheng Bing is doing now, and Lin Ying thought he was doing well. They talked about some past events and felt quite emotional.
Pan Da Hai asked if Cheng Bing said anything else, and Lin Ying said no.
Pan Da Hai didn't say much either. People like Cheng Bing who came out of prison need to regularly go to the street for education. Cheng Bing and the others came over and listened, and someone asked Cheng Bing to stay for a moment.
Cheng Bing came over and found Zhou Ju was also there. Zhou Ju expressed that he never expected the events of the past to turn out this way. The leaders from the province went to the Supreme Procuratorate, but nothing really changed. Cheng Bing felt that everyone was doing well now. Zhou Ju said that Cheng Bing was a good cop, and Cheng Bing didn't say anything. After going outside, he couldn't help but cry.
Xiao Xu came to see Cheng Bing and said that he wasn't actually on a business trip; he just didn't want to see them. Cheng Bing felt that he understood. Xiao Xu said that he was the only police officer in the village, and for his family, wearing the police uniform was an honor. When he took off the uniform, his mother couldn't understand why he couldn't be a police officer since he didn't beat anyone. Cheng Bing felt that he let them down, but Xiao Xu said he looked down on those in the team who only boasted about their past deeds. When Xiao Xu asked them if they ever thought about Wang Da Yong, who had run away, they all remained silent. Cheng Bing felt they weren't like that, but Xiao Xu stuck to his own belief.
It was Tongtong's birthday, and Liu Wen Fang and the others brought her to a hotel to celebrate. Cheng Bing watched from across the street and didn't go over. Lao Zhao saw him and said he would call Cheng Bing to come in, understanding that they were both fathers. Cheng Bing came over, but Tongtong was very unhappy.
Cheng Bing went to buy something, and Tongtong felt that Cheng Bing only brought them harm. She didn't want him to bring back the life they had before. Cheng Bing heard her words, didn't go in, and left the gift outside.
Didn't Zhou Ju say he would leave the Three Great Teams and handle it himself? The Second Team hasn't caught anyone in eleven years? The majority of the positions in the Third Team have been stripped away, and you expect them to catch high-level criminals?
Don't they have families? It's hilarious. The ones who bear the blame are always the ones at the bottom. It's true that one mistake can ruin a lifetime of being a good person. Good people don't live long, while troublemakers linger for thousands of years.
Well, if it were me, I would turn dark and watch the chaos unfold. Yes, my perspective is limited and shallow.
