Chapter 505: Li Ming's Complaint

After leaving Zhou Jie's place,

I went outside and called Shi Yong and Ding Li over.

I said to both of them: "Shi Yong, you'll come with me in a while; Ding Li, you stay at Qi He Kuang."

Shi Yong said: "Brother, I'd rather stay at Qi He Kuang; I want to straighten out the Security Department."

"Alright, you have nothing else to do.

"Ding Li, you stay at Qi He Kuang; first, keep an eye on Zhou Jie, don't let him show his face."

"Also, assist Xiao Feng in managing Qi He Kuang."

"Qi He Kuang is now in a production halt; the staff have all left, only Xiao Feng remains here, and I'm not at ease."

"Ding Li, make sure to protect Xiao Feng's safety."

Ding Li immediately assured me: "Zhao Ge, I guarantee to complete the task. I want to ask, will Qi He Kuang still belong to us in the future?"

I looked at Ding Li and said: "Do your best to strive for it; whether or not it belongs to us, we must hold the final post."

"I'll go to Sijiucheng as soon as possible to settle the matter of Qi He Kuang."

Ding Li nodded and then said nothing more.

I brought Shi Yong out of the guesthouse.

Just then I ran into Xiao Feng,

"Just like that, you left."

Xiao Feng looked at me and said.

I laughed,

"Xiao Feng, I'll go to Sijiucheng in the next two days to sort out the Qi He Kuang matter. You can relax."

"Little sister Xiao Feng, wait for me."

"I'll be back in a couple of days. Damn it, I definitely have to reorganize the Security Department."

Shi Yong said from the side.

Xiao Feng just smiled,

"Then I'll wait for you."

I reached out and shook Xiao Feng's hand,

"Okay, Xiao Feng, that's settled then; you wait for us."

"I've left Ding Li behind to help you manage the mine's affairs."

"Ding Li, right? Now production is halted, there's nothing much at the mine. Jianqiang, you hurry up and settle the Qi He Kuang matter properly."

"If Qi He Kuang doesn't belong to us, I'll leave this place." Xiao Feng said tactfully.

"Where are you going, little sister Xiao Feng? Just follow us; I guarantee you'll eat well and live well." Shi Yong replied.

"Alright, Shi Yong, let's go."

After saying that, I waved at Xiao Feng and then got into the car.

I had Shi Yong drive.

Shi Yong, while driving, asked me: "Brother, where are we going?"

"We're going to Xin Cheng, to He Dao Guang's home." I said.

"Who is He Dao Guang?" Shi Yong asked.

"He's the son of Mr. He Zuming; you don't know that?" I explained.

"I've forgotten; why are you looking for him? Are you trying to find out Mr. He's whereabouts?" Shi Yong asked again.

"What whereabouts are you asking about? How could he know Mr. He's whereabouts? In Sijiucheng I promised Mr. He one thing: to help him publish a book."

"Now I happen to have time; I'll go to He Dao Guang's home and take the manuscript Mr. He left behind."

"Then I'll find a publisher to get Mr. He's book published, thus fulfilling his wish." I said.

"What book? Nowadays nobody reads books; it's all the age of mobile phones and the internet."

"I just don't like reading books."

"Looking at the phone is more interesting." Shi Yong said.

"That's you; it doesn't represent everyone."

"Shi Yong, forget it; I won't talk about this with you, because even if I did, you wouldn't understand." I didn't want to discuss this with Shi Yong.

Just then my phone rang; I saw it was Li Ming calling.

I quickly answered.

"Li Ming, are you looking for our mother? I've already brought her back to Niushiling. I'm preparing to build a house there; when the time comes, you can drop by Niushiling to have a look."

I said to Li Ming over the phone.

"Brother, I'm not asking about our mother. I want to ask you: was it you who talked with Laoqu, the one who sent me back to the hotel that day?"

"Laoqu, yeah, I talked with him. What's up?"

"What's up? Why did you say that to him? What do you mean by saying that? On what grounds are you stopping me from filing a complaint?" Li Ming complained to me over the phone.

Listening to Li Ming's complaint.

I also got a bit angry,

"Li Ming, it's not me saying you, but just you few people going to look for him—could that work? Take a look at that Laoqu with his pointy mouth and monkey cheeks; at first glance he's no good."

"What are you looking for? What reason do you have to cause a fuss?"

"Your case hasn't been closed yet."

"You've just been released."

"If you kick up a fuss and they lock you up again, what then? Li Ming, why don't you understand things?"

How come I don't understand things? My situation is just unjust.

On what basis do they arrest me, on what basis do they dismiss me from my position, on what basis do they confiscate my property?

I must go find them; not having an explanation is unacceptable.

Brother, my matter, don't ask about it.

Since you don't want to help, then don't obstruct me either. Now someone supports me.

I, Laoqu, and they have already discussed it.

As a result, after you said that, they dare not move.

It makes me very passive. Li Ming kept complaining on the phone.

Hearing Li Ming's complaints, I became angry,

I've made my words so clear, yet Li Ming still doesn't understand,

Really,

Li Ming, I ask you, you should know yourself, are all your possessions clean?

If they are all clean, then I will raise a fuss to the heavens and also get them back for you.

How much is your own salary,

He Qing also has no job; where is your income?

These sets of property, what right do you have to buy them?

Did they wrong you?

These are the facts, right?

Hearing me ask this way,

Li Ming defended, saying: "Brother, you say that, it's wrong; nobody takes, everyone takes, I Li Ming cannot not take."

On what basis do they have no trouble,

I will have my property confiscated.

I am too wronged.

Li Ming, don't stretch out your hand; stretching out your hand will surely be caught. This saying, you don't know it; don't ask others. Others have a backing, do you have one? Don't compare yourself with others in everything.

We have already regained freedom, which is already not easy.

Those things are all external possessions; Li Ming, don't take them too seriously.

Brother, you say this lightly. What are external possessions? Without these external possessions, what's the point of our struggle? Regaining freedom, my freedom is bullshit.

Brother, you are my backing; you haven't fallen, those things, I should be able to take them back. Li Ming continued to argue with me on the phone.

Hearing Li Ming's defense, I became even angrier.

This Li Ming has reached a dead end.

He thinks he is not at fault, thinks that his past belongings should all be returned.

In the world, there are no shoulds.

Should, hum, my Da Heng Group is all gone.

Compared to Li Ming's little bit of family business, what is it?

I didn't speak for half a day, holding my phone. If Li Ming were by my side now,

I would definitely shout at him urgently,

As soon as he comes up, he asks about these trivial matters, not asking where mother went. It seems as if mother has nothing to do with him.

How did this Li Ming change? He changed so that I don't recognize him.

I suppressed my anger on the phone and said to Li Ming: "Li Ming, you should face reality. I couldn't keep my Da Heng Group."

Now the Da Heng Group has become someone else's. I have no complaints.

You should know, the world is big; don't limit yourself to this immediate point; we should set our sights farther.

Li Ming, you complain about me; I can understand your feelings.

It's brother, I've implicated you,

If you weren't too close to me, believe those people wouldn't deal with you either.

The fault is all on me.

If you hate, hate me,

If you scold, scold me,

I lack the ability to protect you.

Speak up, what compensation do you want?

There are houses and money; as long as you name a number, I will compensate you to the best of my ability.

Brother, listen to me for a moment; don't cause trouble for now.

Also don't go look.

The more trouble you cause, the only way is to go in the opposite direction.

I earnestly advised Li Ming, hoping he could understand my good intentions.
