Chapter 951: Chapter 943: A Needless Move
"Deng Fuguo, I’m warning you, I absolutely won’t let you off easily this time. You can act shamelessly and break your promises, then I certainly won’t care about saving your face anymore. We’ll see!" With that, Liu Rui left with his men.
For the first time, he felt so useless. He had joined in the first place to someday rescue his father. He thought that his abilities were now mature enough to contend with Deng Fuguo.
Since this wasn’t working, Liu Rui started thinking of other ways. He knew where Deng Fuguo worked, so every day he brought a few guys to cause trouble outside his workplace. But it wasn’t too excessive, staying just within the bounds of the law. Deng Fuguo was harassed by Liu Rui every day but had no way to counter since Liu Rui hadn’t broken any laws or disrupted their normal work.
But Liu Rui knew this couldn’t continue. Deng Fuguo would eventually explode, and then any random excuse could get Liu Rui and his people arrested. His father had experienced the same; despite being a boss, he hadn’t done anything excessively wrong. Although it’s a criminal title, there’s still a bottom line, which is to never harm the innocent. For years, he coexisted peacefully with the local government. It was just his father’s bad luck that one year he got caught up in a social security crackdown and was arrested for a minor offense. After his identity was discovered, they exaggerated his crimes, and his father was exiled to a place nobody knew about.
The most cruel thing was, they didn’t even allow family visits.
Xiao Yifei was recovering at home, living quite comfortably, when he received a call from Liu Sisi: "Brother Xiao, I know I shouldn’t be calling you, but I really have no one else to turn to. Liu Rui has been causing trouble with Deng Fuguo these days, your patient’s son. I’m afraid if Liu Rui keeps this up, something bad might happen. He won’t listen to me; maybe you can talk to him."
"Where are you all now? I’ll come over right away." Xiao Yifei, not fully recovered, agreed in haste.
Xiao Yifei had been curious about how Liu Rui got involved with someone like Deng Fuguo, but he forgot to ask last time. So he hurried to Deng Fuguo’s workplace.
There, he saw Liu Rui and a few other people he didn’t recognize standing at the gate, clearly looking for trouble. Xiao Yifei quickly got out of the taxi and walked over to call Liu Rui.
Liu Rui heard someone call him, turned around impatiently, not expecting Xiao Yifei to show up at that moment. He put his hands in his pockets, trying to appear less flustered, but it was entirely unnecessary.
"Liu Rui, are you stupid or what? What are you doing here? Do you think this will help? Do you know how powerful these people are? If they wanted to do something to you, you’d probably be in jail by now." Xiao Yifei grabbed Liu Rui’s clothes, ready to drag him away, but then noticed everyone else staring, so he let go.
In front of his followers, it’s best to give Liu Rui some face, or he won’t be able to maintain his position as leader.
"Do you even know what’s happened between him and me? If it were easy to solve, would I be standing here?" Liu Rui said angrily.
"Whatever it is, let’s go back and figure out a plan. Some matters can’t be rushed." Xiao Yifei spoke with unusual gentleness, feeling that his character had changed a lot after his illness.
At Liu Rui’s place.
"Now tell me, what exactly happened?" Xiao Yifei asked.
"I probably never mentioned my father to you. My dad went to jail because Deng Fuguo arrested him. We made a deal; if you cured his father’s illness, he’d release mine. But now that his father’s better, he’s reneging." Liu Rui explained.
"So I was just a tool in your scheme. Why didn’t you tell me about such a major thing?" Xiao Yifei was a bit angry, upset at being used so openly without knowing the full story.
"I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I planned to tell you after it was done, and I didn’t expect you’d get so injured." Liu Rui’s expression was somewhat awkward, perhaps feeling embarrassed.
"Let’s leave aside how you used me. What do you plan to do about your father?" Xiao Yifei asked. Being used was one thing, but what’s done is done, and there’s no use staying angry.
"I don’t know. Their power is too strong. If it were just an ordinary person, I might try kidnapping and intimidation." Liu Rui said, looking troubled.
"Why was your father arrested back then? What’s the reason?" Xiao Yifei asked, thinking there might have been a misunderstanding; otherwise, Liu Rui wouldn’t be so insistent on rescuing his father.
"They said he took the blame for someone else. There was a big fight back then, and even though my dad wasn’t the mastermind, he was the leader, and someone had to take responsibility. Deng Fuguo nabbed him when he was alone."
"Of course, I heard all this from my dad’s friends. If just one or two people said it, I wouldn’t believe it, but I consulted everyone who knew about it, and they all say my father’s innocent. The records in the Police Department certainly don’t reflect that, but I trust my dad wouldn’t do something like this. He used to play with me whenever he got the chance."
"So I need to find a way to get my father out." Liu Rui said. This was the moment Xiao Yifei saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes. noveldrama
"Liu Rui, I don’t know what to say. Here I was thinking you were smart, but you did something so foolish. Did you think causing trouble at the government would scare them into releasing your dad?" Lin Xiaoyifei had a look of frustration, like iron not turning into steel. He always thought Liu Rui was extraordinarily talented, but after just a few days apart, he pulled such a stupid stunt.
"Then what would you suggest?" Liu Rui retorted, a mix of defiance and embarrassment in his tone.
"I’ll go plead with Deng Fuguo’s father to see if it works. After all, I’m his lifesaver. You stay home and stop doing foolish things." Xiao Yifei said, standing up to leave.
"I’ll take you there. I’m worried about you in your condition." Liu Rui said.
Xiao Yifei suddenly felt a hint of warmth from Liu Rui. It seemed that knowing he might save his father brought part of him back to life. Xiao Yifei’s view of Liu Rui was constantly evolving, and Liu Rui kept offering new surprises.
