Chapter 216 Fighting Poison with Poison
After hearing Wei Zhao's words, Zhang Cui was stunned for a long time.
Judging from what she said, her family used to be quite extraordinary.
Zhang Cui asked with a bitter face, "Is there no way to deal with someone like Lu Jianxi?"
Wei Zhao said, "You know he's in power now. His power means he's on your side now, otherwise he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant."
Zhang Cui hesitated and couldn't make up her mind.
If she leaves, wouldn't all those years of hard work at the factory have been for nothing? And she'd lose the house too.
“You all sit inside. I’ll go out and borrow some grain. You can stay at my house tonight, so don’t be shy with your aunt.”
The siblings originally planned to stay at a guesthouse, but given Zhang Cui's family situation, Wei Yang was not comfortable with staying elsewhere.
After Zhang Cui left the room, Wei Zhao put the gifts he had brought directly into the small room across the street.
A radio, two boxes of tea, two bottles of wine, six boxes of pastries, and two bolts of fabric of different colors.
The tea was brought from home by Wei Yang's sister. The rest of the items were purchased in the capital with receipts provided by Wei Yang's sisters. Since the receipts were not readily available here, Wei Yang decided to buy everything he needed in the capital.
Zhang Cui went out to borrow grain, and Wei Yang told Wei Zhao to look after the children while he sneaked off to the location of the Z Mansion.
Along the way, he saw plenty of clueless teenagers swaggering around on the streets, which he found utterly absurd.
Half an hour later, having learned some information, Wei Yang changed his mind and, after asking around, headed towards Lu Jianxi's residence.
Lu Jianxi wasn't home at the moment, so Wei Yang spotted Lin Dahai slumped in the corner.
After finally getting rid of the hospital staff, Lin Dahai arrived at Lu Jianxi's side, where he was racking his brains trying to figure out how to successfully retaliate against Lu Jianxi.
Even if he weren't disabled, he still couldn't beat Lu Jianxi.
Thinking about this, Lin Dahai felt a little desperate.
Lu Jianxi has harmed him so much, are we just going to let Lu Jianxi get away with it so easily?
Why should someone like him, a born scoundrel, be able to get better and better? Is there no justice in this world?
Wei Yang had previously thought that Lin Dahai might still be of some use, but now seeing him sitting there dejectedly like a frail old man, he knew that he had overestimated this useless and brainless fool.
"What are you doing sitting here? Are you afraid he'll come back and not see you here?"
Lin Dahai looked up in surprise at the man who claimed to be Song Lubai's boyfriend.
Lin Dahai struggled to his feet with the help of his cane and followed Wei Yang into the alley behind.
Wei Yang offered him a cigarette.
Lin Dahai started smoking, his fingers trembling.
What are you doing here?
Wei Yang didn't answer him, but asked instead, "Aren't you afraid he'll cause trouble for Zhang Cui and your son again? As a man, shouldn't you do something good for your family, so you don't live like a coward?"
Lin Dahai exhaled smoke, his pale face behind the smoke revealing helplessness and humiliation.
"I can't beat him, what can I do? He's ruined me like this, I'm so angry I could kill him."
Wei Yang lowered his voice and said, "I know someone who got arrested for making arrogant remarks. Do you know what he said?"
Lin Dahai shook his head.
After Wei Yang finished speaking, Lin Dahai was startled and exclaimed excitedly, "Is that person stupid? How could he say such things? He's just asking to be beaten up!"
Wei Yang continued casually, "He didn't just go out of his way to be punished. He's not stupid. Later, I found out that someone deliberately framed him. They wrote those words on the back of his clothes, and everyone saw them. By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late. Don't you think he was wronged?"
At this moment, Lin Dahai's confused mind began to race.
He felt he could do the same to Lu Jianxi.
After a long pause, Wei Yang continued, "That matter is not only about that. I heard that someone set a trap for that person's house, placing a lot of 'jin' books inside, with many papers containing inappropriate remarks written on them. That person is truly pitiful; he did nothing wrong, yet he was harmed by villains."
Lin Dahai remained silent, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Before leaving, Wei Yang added, "I heard that Lu Jianxi also has an enemy. His enemy is called Wang Dong. Wang Dong is the director's nephew. I heard that Wang Dong slapped your nephew once. Unfortunately, his uncle is the director, while your nephew's uncle has no power, influence, or ability. He didn't dare to fight back after being hit."
Lin Dahai looked at him and asked, "Where did you find all this information?"
Wei Yang stood up and said, "I just asked someone randomly outside the government building."
He didn't just pick anyone; he picked one of the people he had beaten up earlier that day.
He didn't even need to use force or coercion; the other person just gave up on their own.
In the current situation, the only way to deal with someone with a little power is to fight fire with fire. Although the method is despicable and contemptible, it is a good approach as long as it solves the problem.
Having said what he needed to say, Wei Yang prepared to leave.
Wei Yang left, and Lin Dahai's mind kept racing.
He was really indignant. Why should Lu Jianxi be able to live a good life after he had been wronged so badly?
Lin Dahai got up and went back to the front, where he waited at the door of Lu Jianxi's house.
When Lu Jianxi returned reeking of alcohol, he saw Lin Dahai and kicked him.
"You old geezer, why are you back again? Are you looking for death?!"
Lin Dahai took a kick to the chest, but endured the pain and hugged his leg.
“Jianxi, I really have nowhere else to go. Please take me in. I’m willing to do your laundry and cook for you every day, as long as you give me a bite to eat. You’re so successful now, who else can I turn to but you? Our ancestors must have been blessed to have such a promising descendant like you. Please let me share in your good fortune. I’m willing to be your slave…”
Lin Dahai had thought it through. In a head-on confrontation, he was no match for Lu Jianxi and could only humiliatingly act like a grandson in front of his enemy.
He first sneaked into Lu Jianxi's house, then started making small moves. Once he successfully defeated Lu Jianxi, he went back to beg Zhang Cui to let him go home.
Lu Jianxi did indeed fall for this trick.
He was very proud of what Lin Dahai called his most promising descendant.
In the past, people didn't take him seriously, but now he is respected and feared wherever he goes.
Having just suffered a setback at Wei Yang's place today, Lu Jianxi's mood improved considerably upon hearing such flattery.
He snorted and said, "Let go of my leg."
Lin Dahai wouldn't let go. "Jianxi, I'm really willing to be your slave, as long as you're willing to let me go home. You're so promising. When I die, I'll tell our ancestors in the afterlife, and they'll be so proud."
"I'm getting old, and I don't have many years left to live. Please, have mercy and save my life."
Lu Jianxi, impatient, kicked him aside and said, "Come inside and boil some water for me to wash my feet."
Lin Dahai smiled and responded loudly, then followed him into the house.
Looking at his spineless appearance, Lu Jianxi snorted, "How can someone as useless as you be my uncle!"
Lin Dahai smiled憨憨地, tears streaming down his face, and said, "I knew you were filial. I have no regrets even if I die."
