"It's nothing, just a small matter. It's because you were hesitant on the phone last time, Grandpa, that I was worried."
Suti could tell from her grandfather's tone that everything was fine at home; it seemed the problem really lay in Beijing.
"You little rascal, I couldn't speak last time because Marshal Li was listening. Did you see him?"
When Commander Guo heard that this was why Nannan was worried, he smiled.
"I saw him, but Baichuan didn't agree to go back. Let's wait until things are settled in Beijing." Su Ti felt that her grandfather must think the same way.
"That's fine, otherwise it would be awkward to meet the real one over there." Putting myself in their shoes, I don't know what they would do if they had been raising a fake for so many years.
He can't bear to part with an object that's been with him for so many years, let alone a person?
Even if he felt resentful, he had to give them time to resolve the issue. He thought the two children did the right thing by not putting pressure on them at this time.
By taking a step back to advance, things will surely go as planned.
"Yes, Grandpa, have you told Mom and Dad about these things?" Su Ti had only told Grandpa about these things; they hadn't mentioned them to anyone else in their letters.
“We’ve already spoken to your father, so your mother is essentially aware of it. We respect your wishes. If the Li family can’t accept you, then the Guo family will.”
Commander Guo is now full of energy, thinking that if he really becomes in-laws with the Li family, at least when others talk about them, they will say that they are a good match and evenly matched.
He didn't want his precious child to be looked down upon, especially since that family consisted of relatives with whom he had no emotional connection.
"Grandpa, please tell Mom and Dad not to worry. Baichuan and I will tell you in advance what plans we have."
Suti then inquired about her grandparents' health before finally hanging up.
“Baichuan, it’s not a problem on my side.” Suti knows his family well; if anything were to happen, his grandfather wouldn’t be in such a relaxed state.
She could even detect excitement in her grandfather's tone.
She didn't know what had happened at home recently, but she could sense that everything was moving in a positive direction.
“That means it’s Beijing, isn’t that perfect?” Wei Baichuan had been listening attentively the whole time, and now he was only thinking about how to tell that person in Beijing.
"I'm calling Beijing. I'm injured, and I should tell them what I've done wrong." Wei Baichuan made the call directly to Beijing.
"Hello?" Marshal Li rarely receives calls; those who do are usually dealing with serious matters, so his voice unconsciously carried a hint of seriousness.
"I don't want to go back to Beijing. Can you tell your precious grandson not to cause me any trouble? I'm just an ordinary team member; I can't afford for him to seek revenge."
"This time it's just a little blood, but next time it might be fatal. I'm begging you, please just pretend you know nothing, okay?"
"I don't want to get involved with your family. I just want to live a few peaceful days." Wei Baichuan had no intention of rekindling any old feelings with them. As soon as the call connected, he started spouting innocent platitudes.
His words were full of anger, but Suti saw it clearly and didn't take it seriously at all.
"What do you mean? What happened to you? Tell your grandfather... tell me quickly." Marshal Li immediately recognized who it was.
Before they could even get excited, hearing what he said made them even more anxious. Qi Bowen had already made his move.
He didn't expect his actions to be so swift. When he got home and saw the person, he still had that ingratiating look on his face.
He just sent his daughter away today and was planning to take action to deal with Qi Bowen's matter.
"It was just a few people who came and said I had offended some big shots in Beijing. They beat me up, but I won't die this time."
Wei Baichuan's words left Su Ti speechless. What a fabrication!
Marshal Li on the phone also fell silent.
"Child, I will resolve the trouble here as soon as possible." Marshal Li felt that saying anything more now would be useless.
It's more important to actually solve the problem than anything else.
Qi Bowen was able to reach so far because he was a member of the Li family. Without that identity, he would be nothing.
The most crucial thing now is to reveal his identity.
When Wei Baichuan heard him use the word "troublesome" to describe that person in Beijing, he understood that they had no intention of being lenient.
"Okay, I'll hang up now." Wei Baichuan hung up the phone without hesitation; he had achieved his goal.
Marshal Li wanted to say something more, but fell silent as he listened to the dial tone on the phone.
Remembering what the child had said about almost losing his life, he hurriedly asked his guard to contact the Jiang Province authorities.
He had arranged everything before leaving, but unexpectedly, something still went wrong. He even began to suspect that those people were just paying lip service.
"Xiao Liu, go and publish a notice in the newspaper, stating the relationship between our Li family and Qi Bowen. Remember to clearly write down what his biological parents did."
"And Xiao Li, go and see what's going on in Jiang Province. If those people aren't taking it seriously, put some pressure on them. That kid can't afford any accidents."
Marshal Li felt that the root of the problem should be solved first, and he originally planned to consider the friendship he had built up over so many years.
They quietly escorted Qi Bowen back to Yangliu Brigade. Without a letter of introduction, he, an ordinary team member, couldn't go anywhere.
They should never have any contact with each other again. His slight compassion almost cost his grandson his life, so don't blame him for being ruthless.
He was never an easy person to talk to, and he had no intention of using any of his methods on Qi Bowen.
"Alright, old marshal." Xiao Liu and Xiao Li were stunned for a moment, then realized that the old marshal was about to make a move.
At this time, Qi Bowen, who was working at the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission, was unaware that his identity was about to be exposed.
He intercepted a letter at home that morning and was extremely flustered.
For some reason, the man actually wrote a threatening letter to the Wei family.
When he was around ten years old, he went back to his hometown with his father. At that time, his father was being transferred back to Beijing.
The entire brigade welcomed their family.
He had a deep impression of that day. He had always thought that everyone was the same, but he saw envy in the eyes of those people.
He slowly realized that he thought his grandfather and parents were ordinary people, but in their eyes they were unattainable.
He was very proud, but reality soon slapped him hard in the face.
A couple came up to him and told him that he was not a child of the Li family. He looked at the face that looked remarkably like his own.
And with the same squinty eyes as that woman, he panicked. He used to think he looked a bit like his father.
Now it seems he's more like this family. Even if he's stupid, he knows what they're saying is true, otherwise they wouldn't dare to come looking for him.
They threatened to tell his parents and take him back, which terrified him; he didn't want to live in that place anymore.
He promised them that when he grew up, he would repay them and take care of them in their old age, which finally appeased them.
