As Chen Ping'an was leaving the South Town Garrison Command, he happened to run into Shen Shikang. Mu Wanjun had escorted him out of the main building, and as they passed the Task Room, Shen Shikang was just walking out.
"Lord Chen, Lord Mu."
The man who was once his direct superior now acted with the utmost deference.
"Lord Shen." Chen Ping'an smiled and clasped his hands.
"Lord Chen, you do me too much honor!" Shen Shikang bowed again and again, not daring to accept such a title from Chen Ping'an.
Inspectorate, Candidate for Chief Constable, Vice Chief of the Patrol, Chief of the Patrol Office, Candidate for Commander, Deputy Commander...
In just a few months, their stations in life were worlds apart.
Chen Ping'an exchanged a few pleasantries with Shen Shikang, then smiled and left.
Shen Shikang, with his back slightly bent and hands clasped, watched Chen Ping'an's departing figure.
