"I admit I have some connection with the white powder, but I only admit that the white powder is white flour."
Before their joy could even take hold, it crashed to the ground again. Zhang San and Zhao Zhao, who had arrived together, both looked at Li Hun and then exchanged a glance.
They did find a connection between Li Hun and the white powder, but they weren't sure if the white powder was what they imagined. It seemed that subconsciously, they were already convinced that the white powder was that thing.
Li Hun's words caught them completely off guard.
"Excuse me, gentlemen, is it alright if I play with some white powder?"
Li Hun noticed both of their expressions, and of course, he didn't miss the fleeting surprise in their eyes. This was enough to prove that they hadn't found out what it was.
That's wonderful, really wonderful! It's truly heaven's help; he is indeed a person favored by heaven.
His spirits seemed to have returned instantly. Compared to his previous dejection, he was now completely transformed. A quick glance was enough to tell that Li Hun was in a great mood.
The unfortunate outcome fell on Zhang San and Zhao Zhao. They hadn't expected Li Hun to pull this stunt. If they had known Li Hun was so cunning, they would have called Li Su over.
Who cares about face? Can face be more important than myself and my son?
That damned Li Hun! Their son had barely escaped his clutches, but after he acquired strange and wondrous abilities, he destroyed him again.
With both old and new grudges combined, Zhang San and Zhao Zhao only wanted to get rid of Li Hun.
"Li Hun, stop making things up. You say that stuff is heroin, but do you have any proof?"
Using Li Hun's own way of thinking to turn the tables on him caught Li Hun off guard. This unexpected turn of events was exactly what Zhang San and Zhao Zhao needed.
"Li Hun, you need to produce evidence to clear your name. Otherwise, the two leaders will have to take you back for questioning. Don't feel wronged. You should know that we abhor that thing and we will not let go of the slightest clue."
His words, brimming with profound ideological awareness, drew sidelong glances from the two people beside him.
Satisfaction and emotion flashed in his eyes, which was truly rare. In the past, when they were handling matters or investigating cases, although they hadn't encountered much resistance, very few people were willing to cooperate.
Zhang San's words struck a chord with them; if everyone had such awareness, what was there to worry about in the future?
Seeing the satisfaction on the two men's faces, Zhang San looked at Li Hun with a smug expression.
"hypocritical."
Crouching unnoticed in the corner were Li Yiyi, Li Su, and Ma Mei. It was Li Su who was speaking.
She's not unfamiliar with the two-faced nature of Zhang San and Zhao Zhao; they said the same thing back then.
They said she's young but sensible, well-behaved and adorable. They'll definitely have a good talk with Li's mother when they get back.
In the end, she only received the vicious reputation of causing Li Hun's leg to break. Zhang San and Zhao Zhao, who knew the whole truth, disappeared without a trace, as if what they had said to her before was just nonsense.
No, that's insulting!
Even a fart makes a sound, but Zhang San and Zhao Zhao didn't make a sound at all.
Hearing Zhang San and Zhao Zhao start boasting again, Li Su's only feeling was that they were hypocritical. Isn't that exactly what they did? Saying anything more would be praising them.
Li Yiyi understood Li Su's feelings; after all, she was one of the people who knew the truth. Ma Mei didn't know why, but she didn't ask. Instead, she propped her head up and watched what would happen next.
Zhang San and Zhao Zhao's rhetorical questions landed on Li Hun's head.
What evidence could he possibly have? No one knew better than him what the white powder was.
"Li Hun, produce your evidence, or else..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but Li Hun knew the consequences of not producing evidence. He looked up at his mother, desperately hoping that she would stand in front of him, just as she had done countless times before.
Little did he know that his gaze was misunderstood by Zhang San and Zhao Zhao, who thought that Li Hun was using his eyes to threaten Li's mother, trying to get her to stand up for Li Hun.
“Li Hun, stop looking. Haven’t you seen enough yet, or do you want your mother to use the same trick again and kneel down in front of us so we can let you go?”
After Zhang San finished speaking, Zhao Zhao also stood up.
“Li Hun, stop being childish. You need to understand that this matter is too serious for your mother to handle by simply standing up for you and pleading for you. Li Hun, this time you've committed a serious offense, not a minor one. If you cooperate, you might receive less punishment. But if you keep delaying, things might get much worse.”
The two spoke righteously, seemingly genuinely concerned for Li Hun's well-being, urging him to quickly admit his mistakes and minimize punishment.
But some things are perfectly clear to everyone. Li Hun knew exactly what Zhang San and Zhao Zhao were planning.
Listening to their apologies now is just sending yourself to your doom.
Her eyes pleaded silently. Lee Hun-hee
He hoped Li's mother could help him. Seeing Li Hun's eyes, Li's mother was reminded of the look Zhao's father had given her at the end.
Don't believe Li Hun, go find Li Su.
This is the meaning of the last words her younger brother, Zhao's father, said to her.
Recalling Zhao's father's gaze, Li's mother silently looked away. To Li Hun, it seemed as if his mother wasn't helping him, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes.
“Evidence? I certainly don’t have any evidence to prove my innocence, but do you have any? Where did you get the idea that the white powder was that thing? You need to remember, I am the person involved, and only I know what the white powder is.”
“If you don’t believe me when I say it’s heroin, then produce your own evidence. But if you try to slander me, I, Li Hun, will risk my life to get away with it.”
He was ruthless both inside and out; for a moment, Zhang San and Zhao Zhao were somewhat stunned.
Not willing to give up,
Recalling the methods Li Hun had used against them before, Zhang San and Zhao Zhao's eyes flashed with apprehension. They weren't sure if Li Hun still possessed that ability.
If they were still alive, Li Hun would have gone all out, and the two of them would have been the first to get hurt.
But faced with such a tremendous opportunity, it would be a great pity to let Li Hun go. Another reason was that they had come this far and had no way out.
Even if Li Hun isn't arrested and is actually let go, the two of them will be the ones to suffer retaliation. It seems like they have a choice, but in reality, they have no choice at all.
"Li Hun, no matter how much you say, it's not as useful as evidence. What we need is evidence, not your threats and flowery sophistry."
Yes, what they want is evidence, not fear of Li Hun's threats.
Zhang San and Zhao Zhao's words brought them back to reality; they had truly been frightened by Li Hun's words.
The two turned their gaze back to Li Hun.
"Li Hun, what we need is evidence. If you continue to threaten us, you need to know what kind of situation that is."
The situation became tense. Li Hun couldn't produce any evidence, while Zhang San and Zhao Zhao started pressuring him. Li Hun was in a weak position.
In a corner where no one else was paying attention, Li's mother looked at the three shadows on the ground with some surprise. She turned around and saw Li Yiyi and the other two in a corner that no one else was looking at.
