“I’m not afraid, so what are you afraid of? No matter what, we’re still good brothers who once entrusted our backs to each other.”
Neither of them were the spirited and naive young people they once were. Su's father didn't ask anything else; each of them carried a story that was hard to tell.
“Yeah, brother,” Ni Junfeng muttered.
"Old Ni, I've come today to ask you for a favor." Now that they've reached their level, there's no need for such beating around the bush.
They're all cunning foxes, who doesn't know who?
“It’s rare for you to ask me for help, but I doubt you’d dare accept the help I can.” Ni Junfeng laughed.
In his current state, let alone helping him, who would dare to get involved with him?
His parents have severed ties with him, so who wouldn't say he won't have a good end?
“What’s there to be afraid of? Old Ni, you know my daughter is here. I originally thought I could just bring enough money and tickets and stay here for a few years.”
"But I underestimated people's hearts. I thought only people in Shanghai were cunning, but I didn't expect that people in the countryside were not as simple and honest as I thought. They can be shameless when they want to play tricks."
“I have a lot of thoughts, but my daughter didn’t inherit any of them. She’s innocent and kind, and has been bullied by others.”
Su's father first made a self-deprecating joke, which amused Ni Junfeng, who knew that his brother had married a formidable wife.
This person is as cunning as a honeycomb briquette, yet they raised a foolish daughter. Judging from their tone, they must have suffered some injustice here.
"City people are shameless in private, but they still care about their reputation in public. Country people don't care about that. When they really start scheming, their shameless methods will leave you speechless."
"Parents will scheme against their own son, and neighbors will fight tooth and nail over a single scallion. There's nothing they won't do here, only things you can't imagine."
As Ni Junfeng spoke, a mocking expression appeared on his face, as if he had just thought of something.
“It’s my fault. I misjudged people’s hearts. I’m in Shanghai, but she’s here. I can protect her for a while, but not forever, which is why I came to you for help.”
Su's father didn't hide anything and told him everything that had happened in Suti Brigade.
“Isn’t my niece quite clever? She’s managed to bring down the brigade leader.” Ni Junfeng felt that Old Su was showing off.
"How could I not know what kind of person my own daughter is? Someone who could force her to scheme against the Wei family is no simple character."
“No matter how smart she is, she is fighting alone here. We are too far away to help her, which is why I came to you for help.”
"We sent her here in the first place because we wanted to keep our relationship discreet and weren't afraid of being investigated, but now we have to trouble you."
“I think the Wei family could stay in the disciplinary office for a while. It looks rather deserted here. You could invite them over for tea.”
Su's father didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his plan.
"Old Su, that's really despicable of you. If the Wei family goes to the disciplinary office even once, regardless of whether they are innocent or not, everyone will avoid them like the plague from now on."
Ni Junfeng frowned slightly. He hadn't expected Lao Su to be so direct; he thought Lao Su was just going to find a few of his brothers to beat up someone and vent his anger.
"I'm heading back to Shanghai tonight, and if I want to resolve this issue quickly and efficiently, this is the best place for me."
Su's father didn't mince words at all, speaking directly and bluntly.
Ni Junfeng, standing to the side, felt quite pleased. Having experienced too many cold stares and witnessed too many schemes, he found the open plotting rather satisfying.
"I'll help you with this." Even though Ni Junfeng was ruthless, he still remembered the brotherhood they had shared.
"But I'll find a chance to go after you leave. Don't tell my niece about this, and don't get involved with me. It's bad luck."
He's a worthless person who won't even be buried in his ancestral grave after he dies, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for anyone while he's alive.
"Thanks." Su's father looked at the man, who had a lot to say, but in the end, he could only sigh. Advising him to turn back before it's too fake.
The Discipline Inspection Commission is now an entity that no one dares to mess with. Compared to those who want to play it safe, this might be a better way out.
"Old Su, I'll pretend you were never here today. I'll take care of what you asked for. From now on, let's pretend we don't know each other."
Ni Junfeng took a serious look at this man who had never mocked him or felt ashamed to have him as a brother. He would keep him in his heart for the rest of his life.
He knew which path he was on, and he didn't want to drag others into it.
"Okay." Without turning his hand over, Su's father clenched his fist and walked out.
They came in a hurry and left even more hurriedly. Compared to the silence when they arrived, seeing people now makes me feel even more uncomfortable.
They both knew this was the first and last time, and that they would never cross paths again.
"Director Su, where are we going now?" Xiao Zheng looked at Director Su's silent expression. Had they not reached an agreement?
These people in the Discipline Inspection Office are ruthless and heartless; after putting on the red armbands, they did even more heinous things.
He didn't know what connection Director Su had with the people in the disciplinary office. If the people in Shanghai found out, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.
Compared to his excitement earlier, Director Su was clearly downcast now; perhaps they couldn't agree on anything.
That's the right way. Director Su can't get involved with the disciplinary committee; there are plenty of people waiting to find fault with him.
"Go back to Yangliu Brigade, pack up and head back to Shanghai." Father Su was used to never showing his true feelings in front of others.
Even the driver, Xiao Zheng, could risk his life for him today, but could buy his life tomorrow.
His arrival in Jiangsu Province must have been known to many people in Shanghai.
It's only natural for him to come see his daughter; they would only feel something was wrong if he didn't. If he comes, the disciplinary office will definitely keep an eye on him.
That relationship has been used up, so it doesn't matter to them if they know.
Su's father knew that wherever they were, it was not safe, and perhaps sending Nannan to the countryside was a good option.
Otherwise, when things get really tough, those people might target her, and the damage would be even greater.
Mr. Su thought about it a lot. He checked the time and estimated that the two people in the family should be getting up by now.
Suti and his companion, who were being targeted, not only got up but also prepared to start causing trouble.
“Your dad probably found you a powerful backer, sweetie. No matter who that person is, just pretend you don’t know anything about it.”
Guo Xuqing knew that if her husband could send their daughter here, there must be someone he could use.
However, it can't be done openly, because those people in the Shanghai Stock Exchange are hoping they make a mistake; this relationship will be gone after one use.
"I understand, Mom. Let me take you for a walk around the brigade." Suti obediently didn't ask any questions; the more she knew, the more dangerous it would be.
"No need to leave, let's go to the Wei family and settle scores first." Quite a few people knew they were coming yesterday, and Guo Xuqing knew that the Wei family members were also waiting.
How can they not do something?
