Liu Kai had originally planned to play a trick on Director Chen.
But when he heard the words "section chief," he suddenly recalled a sad memory.
Unable to contain his anger any longer, he roared at the top of his lungs.
"Go to hell, Chen Fuju, how dare you bring up the section chief thing?"
"I've worked diligently for so many years, mastering everything from business to policies. I've also given you plenty of good cigarettes, good wine, and good tea, haven't I?"
"So last year the old section chief retired, and you immediately gave the position to your lover?"
"That sanctimonious old man, who always talks about Party spirit and consciousness, has been ruining all the young women in the workplace in private!"
"I heard that you, Deputy Director Chen, have a special skill: you can tell which girl's underwear it is just by smelling it, is that right?"
"If you've got the guts, then use that 'special skill' to beg for food. What are you doing coming to me with such a smug look?"
"Don't think I don't know. There's still a mistress living in your house, but do your wife and kids know?"
"Believe it or not, I'll post your and your mistress's bed photos in the group chat, so you can show off your face too!!"
"The temperature is going to drop even further, you'd better pray for yourself, you idiot!"
This barrage of veiled insults left Director Chen completely bewildered.
Before he could even react and say anything, Liu Kai hung up the phone.
The phone number and WeChat account were both blocked.
After taking several deep breaths, Liu Kai finally managed to dispel the anger in his heart.
He had been holding a grudge about being rejected when he was promoted to section chief, and today he finally found an opportunity for revenge.
According to his memories from his previous life, this guy wouldn't live much longer, at most a month.
Just as Liu Kai was about to start his weightlifting plan for the day, his phone rang again.
As soon as the call connected, Wang Ning's voice sounded somewhat exasperated.
"Liu Kai, have you lost your mind?!"
"What's wrong, Sister Wang?"
"You have the nerve to ask? Just two days ago you told me not to let anyone know you had food at home. Today you've made it public knowledge, everyone knows you've stockpiled food!"
Liu Kai was stunned; he hadn't expected the news to spread so quickly.
However, since the other person meant well, he could only smile helplessly and say, "It's alright, Sister Wang, I know what I'm doing."
"What do you know?! Let me tell you, when people are starving, they're capable of anything."
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and the tone softened.
"Sigh... My husband and I have discussed it. Why don't you give all your things to the neighbors, settle things quickly, and then come to my house so we can all look out for each other?"
"Huh? Going to your house? That's not really appropriate..."
"What's wrong with that? I'll let you in on a secret: my husband's sister is here too, and she's single."
Liu Kai really didn't know what to say.
Sister Wang is really kind-hearted; it's really hard to refuse her...
However, he had no choice but to refuse.
After repeatedly assuring her that she would be careful, the straightforward Sister Wang hesitated before hanging up the phone, while still giving her some instructions.
It seemed to be pre-arranged.
After Sister Wang hung up the phone, Lin Xiaorou called again!
However, Liu Kai did not answer the call immediately upon seeing the caller ID, and instead went back into the monitoring room.
In the dark room of the Da Hu brothers' villa, Lin Xiaorou appeared to be being abused again, curled up in a corner.
As Liu Kai expected, Erhu was indeed making a phone call on her phone.
As soon as the call connected, Erhu arrogantly said, "You're Liu Kai, right? I heard you have a lot of food at home..."
"Beep...beep...beep..."
Liu Kai sneered and hung up the phone without saying a word.
He couldn't be bothered to argue with a dying man.
In the surveillance footage.
After Liu Kai hung up on him, Erhu jumped up in a fit of rage: "Damn it, you little brat, how dare you hang up on me?"
He then continued dialing.
Liu Kai hung up again.
After this happened ten or so times, Erhu finally got angry.
Liu Kai neither answered the phone nor blocked Lin Xiaorou's phone number, clearly putting on a show.
In his rage, he took it out on Lin Xiaorou, who was sitting in the corner.
He grabbed her hair and lifted her off the ground.
"Clap clap clap!"
Without saying a word, several hard slaps landed on her face.
"You bitch, you better contact your lover and make him send over the food obediently, or you'll be in big trouble, you hear me?"
At this moment, the look of terror on Lin Xiaorou's face faded, leaving only numbness and coldness.
The blood at the corner of her mouth on her innocent face gave her an eerie beauty.
She just stared at Erhu coldly, without saying a word.
Erhu felt a little uneasy under her gaze, and mustered his courage to slap her hard across the face again: "What the hell are you looking at, you filthy bitch? Did you hear me?"
Da Hu, who had been watching the show from the corner, also came out.
He rescued Lin Xiaorou from her younger brother.
He gently lifted her chin and said softly, "My brother has a bad temper, so please don't take it to heart. But we really need this stuff from Liu Kai's family, understand?"
Liu Kai finally understood; these two brothers were playing good cop and bad cop, using PUA tactics here.
However, Lin Xiaorou didn't seem to buy it, her voice devoid of any emotion: "I know."
The two brothers left the darkroom satisfied.
After a long while, Liu Kai finally dialed Lin Xiaorou's number again.
Lin Xiaorou, lost in thought, picked up her incessantly ringing phone.
"What's up?"
Hearing Lin Xiaorou's cold voice, Liu Kai's tone was filled with guilt.
