Chapter 951 - 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.
