"Look at yourself in the mirror. What do you look like now?"
"Now you're complaining about my image? Who was it that had the nerve to tell my dad that they could entrust their daughter and the family business to him, and that he would love and pamper me for the rest of his life?"
"Who is it that betrayed their good brother and stole his credit for their own? After their brother got into trouble, they used the excuse of taking care of his widow to take their brother's wife into their own hands."
"Who is it..."
"That's enough!"
"Not enough! Do you dare say that Fu Gang's affairs have nothing to do with you? On one hand, you pretended to ally with Fu Gang, on the other hand, you won people's hearts, used tricks to sow discord between him and his brothers, and finally imprisoned him. For the sake of power, you have forgotten who you are!"
"Don't think I won't do anything to you just because your dad did me a favor. Do you think I don't know what you and your father are up to?"
The constant arguing in the headphones gradually helped the two of them sort things out.
This guy, Qiang, came from a poor family. He met his wife in school and pursued her relentlessly. His father-in-law originally wanted to marry his daughter to his capable subordinate, Fu Gang, but in the end, he couldn't persuade his daughter otherwise and agreed to the marriage between Qiang and his daughter.
If things had gone smoothly, Qiang would have been able to inherit his father-in-law's business. However, the apocalypse suddenly arrived, and his father-in-law passed away. Fu Gang, as his capable subordinate, was away at the time leading people to collect goods.
Qiang Ge, along with his wife and mother, barely managed to stay afloat for a few months thanks to his father-in-law's remaining influence, but things gradually fell apart, and they ended up homeless.
Fu Gang's father-in-law's family runs a wholesale business and has a lot of supplies. Fu Gang was out running business for them and happened to have a large batch of supplies. When he heard that the eldest brother had passed away, he settled the supplies and rushed back alone. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by Brother Qiang.
Qiang Ge gathered another group of people to cultivate his own power, but as disasters increased, Qiang Ge couldn't let go of the supplies in Fu Gang's hands.
Brother Qiang may have been severely oppressed before. After his father-in-law passed away, he gradually revealed his true nature, adopting the feudal practice of having multiple wives and concubines, and accepting all the women offered to him by his subordinates.
During the meeting, the women standing in the first row were all Qiang Ge's "women," and they were either pregnant or had children. Those who had one-night stands or were not pregnant were still waiting in the crowd.
Xu Lin listened to the argument through her earphones with a blank expression. She had seen this kind of thing many times in the apocalypse; each of the three parties got what they wanted.
Later, Qiang's mother went in to break up the fight, and the two stopped. The woman left crying.
Then I heard Qiang Ge's mother's voice through my headphones.
"Why did you provoke her? We were waiting for her to persuade Fu Gang!"
"I just couldn't hold back anymore. I've been putting up with this for so many years, I really can't take it anymore. I'm a respectable person now, after all."
"You know you've endured this for so many years, what's a few more days? Once Fu Gang's supplies arrive, we'll take care of these two. Nobody will know your past then, and..."
After listening to the entire conversation, Xu Lin felt that Fu Gang was a decent person and perhaps she could be saved.
Zhou Pin knew what Xu Lin meant as soon as he saw her expression. Without delay, the two of them went to the cave where Fu Gang was being held to rescue him while Qiang Ge was busy with the big star.
Upon arriving at the cave entrance, the two used a sleeping potion to deal with the two henchmen guarding the entrance. Their temporary lodgings had virtually no security, and they easily found Fu Gang.
At first, Xu Lin was puzzled. Logically speaking, Fu Gang should be quite capable, so how could he be easily locked up and unable to escape?
