As time passed, Su Man became somewhat restless.
Could it be that Fu Jin was lying to her? Why hasn't there been any movement for such a long time?
That day, when Su Man finished the live broadcast and returned home, she took advantage of everyone going to bed to call Fu Jin again.
“Beep…beep…beep…Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later.”
Hearing the cold and sweet voice of the customer service lady, Su Man put down the phone that was pressed against her ear.
Is he busy? Or, has he changed his mind?
Just as I was thinking about it, the phone screen, which had been black, lit up again.
Because Su Man turned her phone to silent mode, there was no ringing, not even a vibration. The phone flashed for a long time before she realized that Fu Jin had called back.
She quickly picked up the phone, "Hello, Uncle Fu."
"Um."
Fu Jin responded. There seemed to be the sound of wind around him, and it didn't sound like he was at home.
Su Man carefully chose her words and asked, "Uncle Fu, have you been busy with work recently? Are you feeling well?"
Fu Jin said seriously, "Thanks to you, I'm so busy running around every day that my health is about to break down."
Su Man: “…”
As if sensing Su Man's speechlessness, Fu Jin laughed dully twice, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
He paused, "I've almost finished my investigation, but there are a lot of people involved, so I need a breakthrough. So you may have to suffer a little."
At this point, Fu Jin seemed to have thought of something, and said in a teasing tone, "It should be no problem. Anyway, you love to endure hardships the most, don't you?"
Su Man smiled: "Yes, Shuanq."
Fu Jin's intention was to have Su Man provoke the Qu family, leaving them with some injuries or the like. Then, when everyone was excited, he would expose the Qu family's involvement in selling poisonous toys. With multiple charges against them, they would be unable to recover.
However, Suman thought of a better way: a trip to the amusement park on the weekend.
After all, the impact of murder is hundreds of times greater than that of beating and scolding.
But she couldn't explain how she could predict the future, so she didn't say much, but just promised that she would do it.
After the two of them had almost finished their discussion, Su Man heard the fatigue in Fu Jin's tone and whispered, "Uncle Fu, you have worked hard. I won't disturb your rest."
“…”
Not hearing Fu Jin's reply, Su Man wanted to hang up the phone tactfully, but suddenly heard Fu Jin's voice.
"Little potatoes."
"ah?"
"Even if this batch of illegal factories and brands disappears, new ones will emerge. So, do you think what I'm doing now is useless?"
Su Man was stunned. If someone else said this, Su Man might think that person was making an excuse for retreating.
But the person who asked this question was Fu Jin, who never bothered to embellish his words and deeds, so she believed that he really thought so.
From the fatigue that could not be hidden in his words, it could be seen that he had probably experienced the situation he described more than once.
Yes, as long as there is profit to be made, there will always be people with black hearts who will take risks. Even if this factory is gone, there will be others. So what is the point of them doing this?
For a moment, neither of them spoke. The only sound was the rising and falling breathing of each other in the microphone.
After a long while, Su Man suddenly said, "Uncle Fu, I heard a story and I want to tell you."
Before Fu Jin could speak, she began to tell her own story. "One morning after a storm, a man was walking by the sea. He saw many small fish caught in shallow puddles on the beach, swept up by the waves. They were trapped there, unable to return home, even though the sea was so close. These shallow puddles, large and small, trapped hundreds, even thousands, of these small fish. When the water dried up, the fish died."
"But just then, he saw a little boy swimming between the sandpit and the sea, scooping up small fish one by one. The man was amused and reminded him, 'There are so many small fish like this, you can't save them all.' But the little boy replied, 'I know.' The man then asked, 'Do you know why you still do this? Does anyone care?'"
Su Man slowed down her voice, a hint of tenderness in her childish voice, "The little boy picked up fish after fish and put them back into the sea. He said, 'This little fish cares... This little fish cares...'"
“…”
After telling the story, Su Man was still a little uneasy. After all, whether to do it or not was up to Fu Jin. If he really felt that this matter was meaningless and gave up, then she would be helpless.
Just as Su Man was holding her breath waiting for Fu Jin's final decision, he suddenly laughed.
"Little Potato, I've heard this story before."
Suman???
Why didn’t you say so earlier?
"But it seems like a good bedtime story right now."
"Then, Uncle Fu, you..." Su Man hesitated to speak.
"rest assured."
Fu Jin only said these two words, and his voice returned to its previous lazy tone, "At least, a little potato like you still cares about me, right?"
That's enough.

Time flies and it is the weekend. Qu Zhengzhi had said before that he would take Su Man to the amusement park on the weekend.
