"What's wrong with you, young man? I don't even know you. What do your parents have to do with me?"
Even though he claimed to know him, he insisted he didn't. Old Li was "wronged"—he genuinely had never met Li Wuchi, and Li Daqiang hadn't told him either.
"Father, look at Li Wuchi. He's quite strong, and he's ruthless even to himself."
[His face was swollen like a pig's, but he deserved it.]
Who owes him anything?
"Father, who are his parents?"
Li Yiyi raised the same confused expression, and both the big and little ones were puzzled. Captain Sun, the reconnaissance officer, didn't think they were faking it.
Li Laoda can pretend, but how can Li Yiyi pretend? She's still just a child.
Li Yiyi: Yes, you're right, I'm still a child.
"Comrade Li Aiguo, you really don't know Comrade Li Wuchi."
Captain Sun observed them carefully. They knew Li Wuchi was Li Daqiang's son. They were still searching for him when Li Wuchi suddenly ran to them.
He also said he would report Li Aiguo, who worked with Li Daqiang. With no reason not to miss the opportunity, Captain Sun brought his men to the production team. Li Wuchi's words were reasonable and well-founded, and he believed half of them.
"Boss, I really don't know this child. Whose child is this? He has no manners at all."
"Exactly, exactly. They have no manners at all. They almost bumped into my dad."
Li Yiyi's main tactic was ignorance is bliss, while Li Fuyi stood aside, overjoyed. Just as Zhou Wenzhu had told her yesterday, she only needed to say a few words to deal with Li Yiyi.
When Li Fuyi suddenly met Li Yiyi's eyes, she almost lost her balance.
The malice was so intense that Li Yiyi couldn't ignore it. Li Wuchi and Li Fuyi—who would have thought they would end up together?
“You’re lying. My dad is Li Daqiang. You must know him. I’ve seen you several times.”
In order to completely destroy Li Laoda's reputation, Li Wuchi directly revealed what he knew.
“Your name is Li Aiguo, but everyone likes to call you Boss Li. You often take things from the mountain to sell to my dad. I know you, I can’t be wrong.”
Li Wuchi's words caused an uproar, but Boss Li remained calm and composed, saying unhurriedly...
“Young comrade, you need to provide evidence when you speak. You say I know your father, where is the evidence? You say I took things to your father's place to sell, where is the evidence? You can't just say that I have a relationship with your father without any proof. I suspect that you were hired by someone to slander me.”
Looking up at Captain Sun, Boss Li remained neither humble nor arrogant.
“Comrade leader, you can investigate whether this young comrade is telling the truth or not. I, Li Laoda, value my life very much. How could I do something illegal? Besides, everyone in our production team knows that I, Li Laoda, am a formal employee of the meat processing plant. I wouldn’t risk anything. I would never do something that knowingly breaks the law.”
The people around him corroborated Li's story; they were all from the production team and knew Li's character.
"Comrade, you can investigate this thoroughly. We can't let Boss Li be wronged."
"That's right, that's right. Boss Li has a bright future ahead of him, why would he do something that would cost him his head?"
"He still has a daughter. If he really does it, what will happen to his daughter and wife?"
“Comrade leader, we all believe in Boss Li. He wouldn’t do such a thing.”
...
One by one they spoke, and while Captain Sun might not believe a few of them—people from a production team—he felt he needed to at least have his faith in them.
"Comrade Li Wuchi, do you have any other evidence?"
The bias was obvious; Captain Sun believed what the masses said. How could he have been so foolish as to think Li Wuchi was telling the truth and bring his men over without verifying the facts?
Realizing something was amiss, Captain Sun's expression turned quite cold.
[Father, it seems maintaining a good reputation is indeed useful.]
Now I finally understand why you enjoy amplifying my reputation as a sickly person.
I'm treated like a tool, moved wherever I'm needed.
In the production team, the meat processing plant, and the hospital, the persona she maintained was completely exploited by her father, while she still believed her persona was flawless.
Waaaaah, she's such a silly girl!
Li Laoda looked down at Li Yiyi sheepishly. What to do? His daughter's grown up!
Newborns are incredibly intelligent.
"I have no proof, but I just know him."
Li Wuchi looked at Boss Li with an unyielding expression.
“You say you’re a full-time employee at the meat processing plant, Li Aiguo, you know perfectly well how you got your job—you got it by trading my father’s life for it.”
The crowd fell silent, not understanding what Li Wuchi meant.
With a soft "pfft," Li Yiyi covered her mouth and laughed.
“Dad, do you think he has delusions? We don’t even know his father. How could he get this job at the cost of his father’s life?”
Li Yiyi was absolutely confident in this; don't be ridiculous.
Knowing that Li Wuchi was Li Daqiang's son, Li Laoda's job was secured, even though the timing just didn't seem to make sense.
"cough"
"Comrade leader, I got this job a month and a half ago. May I ask when this young comrade's father had the accident?"
Turning Li Yiyi's little head around, Li Laoda was afraid that Li Yiyi would get so angry that she would lose her mind.
It wasn't that I was worried about Li Wuchi, it was that I was worried I wouldn't be able to hold back my laughter.
"Li Daqiang had the accident a month ago."
The situation is becoming increasingly clear: Captain Sun is biased towards Boss Li, and no matter how much Li Wuchi says, there's no evidence, and the timing of his statements doesn't match up.
"Impossible. You got your job by trading my father's money. You're lying. You're a liar."
