Wei Baichuan knew that the man had been watching him the whole way, but he was thinking about what they had found out.
What are they planning to do? Do they want to get rid of him, or are they planning to take him back to Beijing? And what are they planning to do with that guy in Beijing?
Given the choice between someone they've raised for over twenty years and a complete stranger, which would they choose?
Perhaps, or someone more ruthless, would give him some money and send him on his way.
Or perhaps they all wanted to stay, but who in Beijing could tolerate him? He grew up in Beijing, and what he had seen and heard was incomparable to what the others had.
If he really does something, there's no way he can defend against it. Wei Baichuan knows that he can't be his match in the short term.
He didn't care about suffering a little grievance, but what about his wife? Wei Baichuan thought about many things, going through the good and the bad in his mind.
"Wife, I'm home." As soon as he got home, Wei Baichuan stopped thinking about anything else and hurriedly went inside to find his wife.
"I just washed the chicken, come and chop it up quickly, we're having chicken for dinner tonight," Suti replied from the kitchen.
His voice was filled with joy, and Wei Baichuan couldn't help but smile contentedly; his wife must be starving.
"Okay." Wei Baichuan only remembered that there were still people outside after he entered the kitchen.
"Wife, people from Beijing have arrived." Wei Baichuan frowned as he said this.
If they didn't know that even if they didn't cause trouble, that person from Beijing would still come looking for trouble for them.
He had to strike first, otherwise, if they were caught off guard, they would be bullied by that person and have no way to fight back.
If he really had to choose, he wouldn't want to ruin his current life at all.
"Beijing?" Su Ti put down the chicken in his hand, asked Wei Baichuan to scoop a spoonful of water to wash his hands clean, and then calmly walked out.
Even if there are many thoughts in one's mind, the moment one sees someone, one's face remains calm and composed.
"Hello, please come in and have a seat." Suti glanced at the person standing in front and guessed that he was the leader.
She felt that this person looked familiar, and she also felt that his aura was familiar.
"You must be that girl from the Guo family?" Marshal Li looked at the young girl in front of him with a broad smile.
Good, very good. He's good-looking, has bright eyes, acts steadily, and speaks fluently. He clearly saw his subtle action of protecting that kid behind him.
"Do you know my grandfather?" Suti asked as he saw the man sit down, and poured him a glass of water.
"Yes, my surname is Li." Marshal Li no longer hid it; he knew that Brother Guo must have told them about him.
Su Ti paused for a moment, then turned to look at Wei Baichuan. She hadn't expected the old marshal to come in person; no wonder he looked familiar.
In her past life, she had seen his photo with Su Nianyou. He had already passed away by then, and Qi Bowen was doing very well thanks to the old marshal's influence.
And his aura was exactly like his grandfather's—the eyes of a soldier, the physique of someone who had been trained, and the raw courage in his bones.
She grew up in the compound and had seen many people like that; how could she not be familiar with them?
“I often hear my grandfather talk about you. You’re a great hero.” Suti didn’t understand his purpose, but it’s always good to say nice things.
Marshal Li was taken aback by her words, then burst into laughter.
This girl is quite young, where did she learn this trick? If you call her flattering, her eyes are very serious.
She always looks people in the eye when she speaks, which shows she has a good upbringing. She also sits upright, which shows she is a good girl.
"Oh? Brother Guo often talks about me?" Marshal Li Hao glanced at the boy over there, his gaze towards the girl like it was entangled in silk.
He knew that if he wanted to get to know his grandson, he had to start with this girl.
“Yes, Grandpa said you are a great hero who served the country and the people, that you sacrificed your small family for the greater good, and that you are the same kind of people as our Guo family.”
"Grandpa said that a person like this won't be blinded. He has seen great storms, and those schemes and plots are nothing compared to you."
Suti had no idea where he had found out or what his purpose was in coming here, but he flattered him with veiled meaning.
But nobody's a fool. Suti's words were a blatant warning: don't be fooled by outsiders.
"Hahahaha..." This time, Marshal Li really laughed.
Over the years, he has been in a high position and has seen many people flatter him, as well as many hypocritical people.
This is the first time someone has practically told him outright, "Don't be blind."
Like the boy, she showed no fear of him whatsoever. Whether it was youthful ignorance or genuine fearlessness was truly rare.
Suti remained silent until he had finished laughing, and she could tell he meant no harm.
“Girl, the fact that I’m here means I’ve asked around and found out everything I needed to. I’ve met Wei Changgen and learned the truth about what happened back then.”
Marshal Li looked at the two of them and recounted everything Wei Changgen had told him. Even though his voice was flat, Su Ti could still hear the anger in his words.
That's good. Even if he's still angry, and even if he's reluctant to part with that fake product in Beijing, just thinking about having parents like that will probably make him resentful.
When they were my biological children, I could watch them do whatever I wanted. But now that they're not my biological children, I can't help but feel disappointed whenever there's even a slight problem.
As time goes by, one's heart hardens; Suti is perfectly clear-headed.
“Child, I know you’ve suffered all these years. Don’t worry, I will give you an explanation. I will not let Wei Changgen get away with this.”
As Marshal Li finished speaking, he looked at Wei Baichuan with anticipation, hoping he would say something.
"You probably don't know the relationship between Wei Changgen and your son-in-law, do you?" Wei Baichuan didn't give any response.
He had no expectations of family affection. He had lived like a ghost for years and was long past the age when he needed his parents' love.
All he wants now is power and a good life for his wife; he doesn't want her to suffer even the slightest bit with him.
He didn't complain when he didn't have the ability, but now that he has the means, he will seize any opportunity that comes his way.
"What relationship?" Marshal Li felt a pang of sadness seeing his aloof demeanor.
However, I also know that since we haven't seen each other for so many years, he won't become close to me as soon as we meet.
“Wei Changgen and your son-in-law are half-siblings, sharing the same mother but different fathers. Something happened in our brigade recently.”
Suti glanced at Wei Baichuan and answered his unspoken question, recounting the identities of the people in the mountains and how Wei Changgen had hidden them for several years.
This also includes the fact that Qi Bowen already knew his identity and told him everything he could, without worrying at all about whether others could accept it.
Marshal Li remained silent for a long time. He knew that Qi Bowen knew the truth and that his son-in-law had suffered a lot in the past.
His mother ran away with someone, and later he climbed the social ladder on his own. Even after he married his daughter, he didn't bring her any great benefits.
However, out of respect for him, people didn't ostracize or suppress him, so he has had a relatively smooth journey.
He knew his son-in-law; he wasn't brainless, and in many ways, he was even more meticulous than him.
But I never expected that even people like them would be completely outmaneuvered!
