"I've been cheated by you for so many years. I've wasted my time drinking and eating with you, chatting with you. If that's not youth, then what is?" Li He continued, "Besides, my young heart, after being hurt by you, I'm afraid I won't trust people easily in the future. I'll feel hopeless about this world. You have to compensate me!"
"You're being unreasonable!" Old Man Lee saw the shameless side of Li He for the first time.
"You want to say I'm shameless? You have to compare yourself with me." Li He said indifferently, "I can't compare myself with you. I definitely can't compare myself with you. Your shamelessness is very similar to that of an old bastard."
"What do I have to do for you to let my son go?" Li Shubai was obviously impatient and anxious.
"Strange. When did I promise to let your son go?" Li He said curiously, "I said that it was the police who arrested your son. It has nothing to do with me. If you have the ability, go and find the Thai police."
"I've already given you the money!" Old Man Lee said anxiously, "What else do you want? The most important thing to do is to keep your word! "
At this moment, he was teaching Li He the principles of being a man.
"You're talking to me now? Sorry, it's too late. " Li He said happily, "You should pay me back the money. It's not my duty to save your son. Why should I save your son? Did you drink too much tea and pour it into your brain? "
Old Man Lee sat on the sofa silently. After a while, he raised his head and suddenly said, "You just asked me if I dared to bet with my daughter. I'll tell you now, I'll bet with you!"
"Huh? Suddenly changed? "Li He said curiously," What are you betting with me? "
"Your family is happy. You're good at everything. You have many advantages, but your shortcomings are also obvious. You value relationships too much. You can't bear the risk of a failed marriage. You can watch your wife divorce you. Can you accept your children leaving you? No, you can't do it! To put it bluntly, you're just a little man! "Old Man Lee said hatefully." Do you think I didn't leave a way out? As long as I lose contact with the outside world, there will naturally be people outside who will spread the relationship between you and Fu Xia. At that time, even if you want to be kind, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
Do you really think that I have three heads and six arms and can take away a hundred things by myself? "
Li He laughed. "Yo, you really won't tell me who your partner is unless I force you to, right? Do you think I won't know if you don't tell me? You're thinking too simply! "
Old Man Lee snorted, "If I didn't say it, you wouldn't have guessed it. As long as you let my children go, you can take the money, and I don't want my collection either. Let's pretend that nothing happened. I worked hard for nothing. Your family is happy, and I want my children to be happy. "
"Why aren't you dying of happiness? You think that's how I got here? The truth is, you still don't understand me! Li Shubai! You don't understand me at all! "Li He's face suddenly changed, and he said sternly," Bring me that little b * stard! "
"Get in! Hurry up! " Dong Hao pushed a man into the living room. The man staggered, and before he could stand firm, Dong Hao kicked him in the knee, and he knelt on the ground.
The man kneeling on the ground, when he saw Li He and Old Man Lee, was shocked. He could only bite the bullet and hang his swollen head. His face was full of fear, and he didn't make a sound.
Shou Shan puffed out smoke rings, stood behind the man, and sighed from time to time, as if he was worried for the man. He sighed from time to time, "How could you do such a bastard thing! Are you still a human? You wasted my usual teachings! You really disappoint me! "
After saying that, he glanced at Li Shubai, who was in a daze.
It wasn't clear if he was talking to the man on the ground or to Li Shubai.
However, Li Shubai could see the joy in Shou Shan's eyes, but he didn't have the heart to argue with him. Looking at the man kneeling on the ground, he understood that his last trump card was gone.
"Xiao Gu, right?" Li He looked at the man on the ground and smiled. "Did Master Shou mistreat you every day? He beat you, scolded you, didn't give you food, didn't give you water? "
"No," Xiao Gu answered with a trembling voice. He lowered his head, not daring to raise it.
Li He continued to ask, "Then did Master Shou not give you your salary? Or did he take away your salary? "
"No." Xiao Gu's trembling got worse, and his voice was shaky.
"Then is it because Shou Shan didn't give you a fair share, and that made you complain?" Li He's tone was indifferent.
Xiao Gu still said, "Boss Li, no."
Li He asked, "Then what did I do to offend you?"
"I was blinded by lard, I'm a bastard." Xiao Gu heard something wrong from Li He's tone, and his anger seemed to be rising.
"No! No, you f * cking tricked me! "Li He suddenly stood up and kicked Xiao Gu's head.
Instantly, Xiao Gu's nose and mouth were covered in blood. He wiped it away, but he still didn't dare to move.
The people around him were still unmoved. He only had himself to blame.
Li He asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"
Xiao Gu shook his head. "No, Boss Li, I'll accept any punishment you give me. I won't complain at all."
"You're quite smart. You understand my personality, so you don't have to be stubborn with me." Li He laughed and suddenly pulled on his hair. "You think I'll let you go so easily just because your attitude is good?
In your eyes, am I such a nice person?
Unfortunately, you used your intelligence in the wrong place. What was it for? A really smart person wouldn't conspire with this old thing to trick me! "
"I'm sorry, Boss Li, I'm really sorry. I was wrong, really wrong." Xiao Gu still didn't move. There were only the sound of tears and heavy breathing.
"But …" Li He let go of him, and with a thud, he kicked Xiao Gu's butt into the coffee table. The blood on his head didn't stop, but he didn't even have the chance to scream.
Li He wiped his hands. "I don't want your life. That's against the law. I've always been a law-abiding person, and I won't do anything against the law. I want you to go to jail and reflect on yourself. Reflect for a few years. As long as you know you're wrong, that's enough. This is also a lesson for you. Be smarter in the future. You know what you can do and what you can't. Think it through, think it through, and when you come out, you'll be a good man, understand? "
"Thank you, Boss Li. I understand!" Xiao Gu finally sighed in relief. For him, this was the best result.
Li He looked at Shou Shan. "If you do it, you won't be biased, right?"
"Sigh, I didn't lead him well. It's my fault." Shou Shan had a pained expression on his face as he told Xiao Gu, "This child, you've been following me since I opened my first shop. I've always treated you well. I even let you manage such an important area like Binhai, and you're still not satisfied?
I don't care how you treat me, because after all, you call me master. I have the responsibility to take care of you. I treat you like a son, so I have to tolerate you. But you shouldn't have conspired with an outsider and put Boss Li in a difficult position! That won't do! "
Li Shubai had already become the outsider in his words.
He sighed and continued, "So, this time, I can't tolerate you anymore. If this goes on, I'll be harming you. The country has its laws, and the family has its rules. You've broken the law, so I can't help you against my conscience. This is letting down the country! Letting down the government! Letting down the party! Letting down the people!
You're still young. Go in and reflect on yourself. There's still a chance for you to come out. Furthermore, you were instigated by others. The crime isn't on you. You're just an accomplice. You won't be sentenced to much. If you actively surrender yourself, confess, and identify the main culprit, you might even get a lenient sentence. "
"Huh?" Xiao Gu didn't know if it was because of the pain from his wound or because he was confused.
But he really didn't understand.
Wasn't he guilty of embezzlement?
How could he let down the country and the government?
At most, he would let down Old Man Shou!
Furthermore, he had committed this crime. How could he be considered an accomplice?
Where could he find the main culprit?
He himself was the main culprit!
All the money was in his pocket!
What the hell was this!
He didn't know if he had been beaten up too many times that his brain was damaged. He couldn't even think clearly.
"You pug, even you are adding insult to injury!" Once Shou Shan said that, Li Shubai understood what he meant. He glared at Shou Shan.
Shou Shan laughed and said, "That's still better than you being an ingrate, right? I know myself. I have no future in my life, and I don't have any great ability. I don't think my character is good either. But there's one thing I'm better than you, Li Shubai. I know how to repay kindness!
I'm not like some people who erase their hearts in the blink of an eye. They are ungrateful and cruel!
If they can't distinguish kindness and grudges, how can they be human!
Repaying kindness with enmity, the way of beasts!
Repaying kindness with kindness, repaying grudges with justice, that's how a real man should be! "
The last two sentences were said forcefully and sonorously!
With these genteel words, the people around him all looked at him in a new light.
"Hehe, a scholar who has been away for three days should be looked at in a new light. I have underestimated you. I can't believe you can say such words." Old Man Lee said so, but he was actually more disdainful.
"Thank you, thank you." Shou Shan cupped his hands. He didn't feel ashamed but proud, as if what he said was really amazing.
"I'll be honest! It was Li Shubai who ordered me to do this! I'm wronged! It was his idea to sell cultural relics abroad! I was forced to do it by him! Master, if I didn't listen to him, he would tell you about me falsifying the accounts!
I'm sorry, master! "
Xiao Gu's voice was filled with tears!
At this moment, he finally understood!
He was not the target of Li He's revenge, the real target was Li Shubai!
As long as he behaved well, his master would be exempted from the accusation of embezzlement, and the public prosecution would not charge him. At most, he would be an accomplice in the smuggling of cultural relics!
To put it bluntly, it was a matter of raising it up high and then dropping it down lightly. As long as he bit Li Shubai, he would be fine!
Looking at his master's expression, he knew he made the right bet. He was secretly happy!
"Good, good." Shou Shan gave him an admiring look and smiled, "There's no rush to confess. When the police are here, you can tell them."
"Yes, yes." Xiao Gu said happily, "Master, don't worry. I will definitely behave well."
"You guys! You really don't care about old friendships? "Li Shubai's expression changed.
Buying and selling cultural relics in the country was not a big problem, but smuggling valuable cultural relics that were banned by the country was punishable. Li Shubai knew this better than anyone else! Because he always had a trump card, he had always been unscrupulous, not afraid of Li He getting rich. But now, Xiao Gu had betrayed him, and his trump card was gone.
"Old friendships?" Li He sneered, "If you cared about old friendships, you wouldn't have done such a thing. Alright, to be honest, I really want to kill you! But I really can't do that. I can't put my life in danger for an old thing like you. Furthermore, I'm afraid I can't do it. It's a stain on my life. There's no need for that. "
Old Man Li closed his eyes and said, "As the saying goes, don't blame your children. Let them go. They have nothing to do with this. Don't you want to see me in trouble? I'll surrender, I'll confess, and I'll fulfill your request. "
Li He laughed mockingly, "That's my problem. But then again, I really can't do it to your grandson and daughter. I'm not as cruel as you.
I'll let them go. "
"Okay, I'll say thank you." Old Man Li let out a sigh of relief.
"But." Li He changed the topic, "Your son won't be so lucky. That's the Thai prosecution's business. I don't want to interfere."
"Then you have to kill me! Otherwise … "Old Man Li said gloomily," Your family won't have a peaceful day! "
She still hoped to use Fu Yao's matter to threaten Li He, hoping that he would at least restrain himself.
Li He said carelessly, "You're not satisfied. I've already let your grandson and daughter go. I advise you to be more honest. Since you're already in prison, repent and accept a lesson. Otherwise, I'm afraid when you get out, you'll have to send your son off. Your son's health might not even be as good as yours.
As long as there's any gossip outside, I'll find your son. If you don't believe me, you can try! "
Xiao Gu was shocked when he heard that. Those words were not only meant for Li Shubai but also for him!
"You've got guts! You're more ruthless than I thought! I've misjudged you! "Although Li Shubai wasn't convinced, he could only do so.
Shou Shan watched as Xiao Gu made the phone call to surrender, then nodded at Li He.
"Alright, that's it. Have a few puffs and wait for the police to come, or else you won't have the chance later." Li He smiled and looked at Li Shubai for the last time. "I hope you can get out of prison soon and start over!"
Suddenly, there was a slap!
To everyone's surprise, Li He suddenly slapped Li Shubai.
"No, I haven't exercised for a long time. Your bones are too hard. We'll be even in the future." Li He rubbed his wrist and turned to leave.
Li Shubai was stunned by the slap. He covered his face and didn't know how to react.
"Second Brother Li!"
Even when he was far away, Li He could still hear Li Shubai's angry roar. It was filled with disbelief and unwillingness.
He threw the cigar away and lit a cigarette. He stood at the top of the mountain and looked at the red leaves as if he had something on his mind.
Zhang Bing said worriedly, "Will you be dragged into this?"
Li He shook his head and didn't say anything.
Only Shou Shan was willing to help. He smiled and said, "Li Shubai is such a smart person. He'll be happy if we just let him plead guilty to the crime of cultural relic smuggling.
A crime of cultural relic smuggling is enough trouble for him. How could he be stupid enough to add another crime of theft to his name?
That would be a crime on top of a crime!
If he wants to come out alive, he has to think of a way to reduce his crime. He loves his children so much. It's impossible that he doesn't want to come out alive. "
Everyone was enlightened.
Pan Song ran over with a smile and said, "Xiao Gu and Old Man Lee are fighting. Listen, they're smashing things."
Li He said happily, "Tell Xiao Gu to be careful. Don't beat the old man to death."
All of a sudden, he felt relieved!
"It's the opposite," Dong Hao suddenly said coldly.
"That's true." Li He smiled helplessly. Li Shubai was the kind of hooligan who knew martial arts. Xiao Gu might not be his match, but he didn't care anymore. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
They got into the car and left. Halfway there, they met a police car.
Dong Hao looked at Li He's expression as he drove. He said, "Fu Xia is here. Feng Lei is with her too. They're at home now."
Li He asked, "What do you know?"
"Ah." Dong Hao was caught off guard and almost swerved the steering wheel. He quickly said, "No, I don't know anything. I didn't hear anything and I didn't see anything."
He had always been by Li He's side, so he knew a little.
"I trust you." Li He looked out the window without turning his head.
"Okay." Dong Hao didn't want to say more. He asked, "Are we going to her house now?"
"Yes." Li He still didn't understand why Fu Xia treated him this way.
The car drove fast and arrived in a short while. Dong Hao didn't need Li He's instructions. He purposely took a detour and parked the car in front of the Fu Family's house.
"You don't have to go in. No one is allowed in." Li He opened the door and got out.
"Okay." Dong Hao didn't object. He parked the car far away and stopped Zhang Bing's car at the same time.
Li He stood at the door and hesitated for a while before he gently pushed open the door to Fu Xia's yard.
A fair and clean little boy was riding a bicycle in the yard under the dim light of the street lamp. He was so happy that his eyes and nose were squeezed together.
"Do you know me?" Li He grabbed the front of the bicycle.
"Wa wa …" The little boy couldn't move his pedals and started crying.
"Who did you learn to be like this?" Li He laughed and felt sorry for him.
"Good boy, what's wrong?" Fu Xia's voice could be heard before she arrived. She saw Li He the moment she popped her head out of the house. But she didn't bother to greet him. She just picked up the child and patted him while coaxing him. "Oh, baby, don't cry. Mommy will buy you something delicious later."
Li He asked, "Do you usually like to cry?"
"No, he's usually very well-behaved." Fu Xia smiled. "Brother, you asked Dong Hao to pass the message that there's a meeting. What meeting? It's so late. Why are you still here? "
"Does the child want to sleep?" Li He said lightly. "You coax him to sleep first. I have something to tell you."
"Okay, then wait a moment." Fu Xia carried the child into the house.
Li He found a small stool and sat in the yard smoking. He could also hear Fu Xia's lullaby to coax the child to sleep.
"Brother, are you looking for me?" After a while, Fu Xia came out of the house. She also took a small stool and sat opposite Li He with her chin in her hands. Their eyes met and she stared at Li He in a daze.
"Don't look at me like that. Is there something on my face?" Li He laughed.
"I can't get enough of you no matter how I look at you."
"Oh." If it was in the past, Li He would definitely be happy to hear this. But now, he couldn't bring himself to smile. He said, "I've already sent that old thing, Li Shubai, to jail."
"What?" Fu Xia was a little confused.
"I sent Li Shubai to jail." Li He looked at Fu Xia's expression, trying to see if she was telling the truth.
"Why?" Fu Xia was very surprised.
"I know everything." Li He threw the photo of her and Li Shubai on the ground.
"Oh, you really know everything." Fu Xia was stunned for a moment. She only glanced at the photo on the ground, but didn't pick it up.
"He stole my things. You know?" Li He asked with a trembling voice.
"Of course I know," Fu Xia said honestly.
"Then you conspired with him!" Li He was furious!
But he didn't know how to treat her. She was his son's mother!
His son couldn't live without a mother!
Fu Xia shook her head. "Brother, I didn't conspire with him. I only found out after the fact. The one who conspired with him was Xiao Gu. He was interested in Xiao Gu's men."
"But you didn't stop him, and you didn't tell me! You're just standing there and watching? Do you think I'm an idiot! "Li He wanted to shout to his heart's content, but he was worried that the neighbors would hear him!
"Why should I tell you?" Fu Xia smiled indifferently. "My son won't be able to take advantage of you in the future anyway. Why should I worry? The one who should worry should be your wife. "
"That's what you're thinking?" Li He definitely didn't expect that. "Is that why you betrayed me?"
"I didn't betray you!" Fu Xia still looked indifferent.
"You secretly transferred the assets of Hexia Home Furnishings Group and its related subsidiaries. You even emptied Feng Lei's leather factory! If this isn't betrayal, then what is? "Li He wanted to slap her!
"Isn't that your son!" Fu Xia suddenly stood up and pointed into the room.
"Yes." Li He gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to hit her. He didn't deny it. "He's my son. I said it. He's my son!"
"That's right! What's wrong with me leaving my son a part of the family business? Is it wrong for me to earn money for my son? "For some reason, tears came out as she spoke.
Her sobs grew louder. There was sadness and grievance in her sobs.
"Don't give me that!" Li He turned his head and didn't look at her face.
"Hmph, I have to thank that old thing. If he didn't remind me, I would still be a fool. In the end, my son was the pitiful one. My son didn't get anything." Fu Xia wiped her face with her sleeve and said forcefully, "I understand now. If we want to have a good life, we have to fight for it ourselves. We can't count on anyone else!"
"What do you mean?" Li He said with a cold face. "You made a mistake and you're finding excuses for yourself? What's the whole story? Remember, your mistake is your mistake! If you weren't the child's mother, I would … I would … "
This woman had definitely changed!
He couldn't even recognize her anymore!
Where had the Fu Xia, who listened to his every word and listened to his every word, gone?
He, Li He, couldn't figure it out!
"What do you want?" Fu Xia looked at Li He and refused to give in.
