Chapter 237 - Sense of Responsibility (2/2)

Qin Yuming says nothing. Rubbing her temples, she falls into deep thought…

In the street, Gao Ge wanders around while holding the little girl’s hand.

Looking at the passers-by and cars coming and going, he also buys sugar-coated haws and beverage for the little girl.

“Brother, I suddenly feel that you are not a bad guy.” The little girl raises her head to look at Gao Ge, saying with a serious face.

Gao Ge is a bit confused.

The little girl ponders for a long time and says seriously, “Bad guys won’t buy me anything to eat!”

Gao Ge reaches out his hand to touch the little girl’s head, saying in an approving tone, “Your logic is so weird. You are lucky that you aren’t spirited off by the traffickers.”

The little girl is puzzled.

In light of her mindset, it is hard for her to understand what Gao Ge means.

However, she knows by instinct that what he said must not be nice.

Gao Ge brings the little girl back to the hotel when Chen Long is smoking at the door of the hotel. Chen Long looks gloomy. When he sees Gao Ge come back with the little girl, his eyes become soft. Then he throws the cigarette into the trash bin naturally, claps his hand, and holds the little girl up.

“If this is really about the 18 Ghost Arhats, it will be much more complicated.” Chen Long dresses the little girl’s hair and says seriously.

Gao Ge nods his head, looks at Chen Long and the little girl, asking, “How much do you know about Qin Yuming?”

“All I need to know is that she is my team leader. That’s all.” Chen Long says calmly.

“I have only one question. Why does she wear cheongsam every day?”

Chen Long grins meaningfully and walks across the street while holding the little girl. He says to Gao Ge before leaving, “As to this question, you should ask her yourself. Even if I know, I cannot tell you anyway, right?”

When Gao Ge returns to the room, Liu Jun is rubbing his eyes and looking out of the window with his chin rested in the hand.

“What are you looking at?” Gao Ge asks.

Liu Jun looks at him and says, “Boss said that as the dead cats were dug out, which ruined the magic array, the evildoers must find a way to bury dead cats again if they wanted to proceed.”

Gao Ge nods his head, saying, “But it is hardly likely that they do this in the daytime, isn’t it?”

“Maybe they may do exactly the opposite, for they think it may be safe to do it under our eyes?” Liu Jun shakes his head, “We cannot take any chance and think that everything will go as we imagine. People are different. Moreover, after being in the Dragon Court for so many years, I’ve understood one thing. That is, don’t make any conjecture on your enemies with your own mindset, because they will do the same thing to you.”

“What to do then?”

Liu Jun laughs and says, “Don’t think too much. When we cast nets spreading from the earth to the sky, we don’t need to worry then.”

Gao Ge nods his head and agrees with Liu Jun.

“Don’t you need to rest for a while?” Liu Jun asks with a frown.

“Yes, I’ll rest soon.” Gao Ge says, “You are acting so carefully with responsibility. Is it because you are afraid to make mistakes?”

Liu Jun turns around and looks at Gao Ge behind him.

Gao Ge goes forward with an ashtray in his hand. He takes a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and gives one to Liu Jun.

They sit in front of the window, smoking the cigarette and looking out of the window.

“To be frank, it is normal that you have such a doubt. After all, you are new to the Dragon Court. However, we are cautious not because we are afraid to make mistakes but because we are worried that if we make any mistakes, the world will become worse. Therefore, we must be very careful.”

Liu Jun flicks the cigarette and continues to say, “After you have stayed in the Dragon Court for long enough, you will gradually understand why. Maybe this time you will understand. For example, if the kids are still alive and yet they cannot come back home anymore for the mistakes you make accidentally, what is the consequence? You will subconsciously think that you are to blame and live the rest of your life with guilt and shame.”

Gao Ge listens to Liu Jun talking quietly.

“In fact, Li Yun’an, Chen Long and I all bear a lot. Just because we have shouldered too much guilt and shame, we become increasingly cautious. Take Li Yun’an for example. She felt so scared for failing to keep the female ghost in the room. Is it the possible punishment of the Dragon Court that made her scared? No. She was scared that more kids would be missing for her incapability. In that case, she would feel very sad.” Liu Jun says calmly.

“Is this the sense of responsibility?”

“Yes.” Liu Jun keeps staring at the sycamore tree without blinking an eye, just like a statue.

As a matter of fact, there are many people like Liu Jun not only in the Dragon Court but also in Huaxia, such as the fireman who cried for not failing to save the victim…

Gao Ge laughs and puts out the cigarette.
