Chapter 530: Sun Dajun Believed

After hearing Sun Dajun say this isn't true,

Shi Yong was startled,

"Fuck, this isn't true. What's true? Sun Dajun, are you really an idiot? Fine, listen again to what your Godfather said."

Shi Yong finished speaking and opened another phone,

Here at a hotel in Huaihai, after I subdued Niu Ju, I specifically recorded this.

Soon, Niu Ju's voice came through the recording,

He explained clearly how he colluded with the Bank Manager and Kang Yali to scheme the sale of the house money.

He also spoke plainly about the matters between Kang Yali and himself.

In Niu Ju's words, Sun Dajun is a total idiot youth, can be ignored.

After Sun Dajun finished listening to Niu Ju's recording, sweat began to bead on his forehead.

But then the time was up, and the warden stood up, telling us that our conversation must end.

I quickly gave Shi Yong a look to signal.

Shi Yong immediately understood,

and hurriedly stood up,

"We were specially arranged by Brother Xiao Wu, give us some face, let's have a drink together tonight."

After Shi Yong finished speaking, he opened a bag and gave the warden a glance.

The warden smiled and said nothing further. "Then I'll give you another twenty minutes; exceeding that won't be allowed."

After speaking, the warden left the room.

Actually Sun Dajun is a light‑sentence inmate; generally the warden is lax with them in prison, except for the heavy‑sentence prisoners serving over ten years, who are treated strictly.

Light‑sentence inmates have a lot of freedom; I've been crouching in here before, so I know this place well.

At this moment Sun Dajun kept smoking, saying nothing.

Shi Yong pulled out another phone,

and the voice of the Bank Manager came out,

He pleaded with me, then repeated their plan again.

Basically it's the same as what Niu Ju said.

"Sun Dajun, are these pieces of evidence enough?

I say Kang Yali is a seller, just a seller; back when she was in the demolition department, she once seduced me.

But what kind of person am I? A woman like that never catches my eye.

She is a textbook slut; how could you like such a woman? Your father arguing with you is an insult to your father.

In their eyes you're a joke; they treat you like a ball to play with. If you still don't believe, I can produce witnesses for you.

I heard Niu Ju is also locked up in another prison at Shanghu.

When the time comes, I'll find him and have him speak to you face‑to‑face."

Shi Yong boasted proudly.

When did Kang Yali ever like Shi Yong? This guy just loves to plaster gold on his own face.

I saw Sun Dajun hanging his head in silence; it seems the evidence has taken effect, but we still need to give the kid enough time,

to let him think properly.

I said to Shi Yong, "Shi Yong, that's enough, turn off the phone.

You go out, I have something to say to Sun Dajun."

Shi Yong switched off the phone,

"Sun Dajun, you have a bit of brain, right? My dad and I haven't given up on you, we came especially to see you; if it were earlier, I would have beaten you long ago.

Think about what you used to do in the company.

Is that being a person?"

Shi Yong finished speaking and stood up to leave.

After hearing Shi Yong, Sun Dajun lowered his head even more.

At that moment the cigarette butt burned Sun Dajun's hand; he let out a cry, then tossed the butt.

"It burns my hand, I feel the pain. Sun Dajun, how should I talk to you?"

We both have failed.

You went into prison; I became a fugitive, wandering outside.

In this past year and a bit, many things have happened.

Why it turned out like this, there are reasons,

Do you know where the reason lies?" I said, then took out a cigarette and handed it to Sun Dajun.

Sun Dajun took it,

his eyes watery, looking at me,

he wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.

I lit the cigarette for Sun Dajun.

"Dajun, the feeling of these handcuffs must be unpleasant; why does the world manage to scheme against us? It's mainly because we're not united. You colluded with Zhao Xiaohua against me.

And you also tangled with Niu Ju.

You are merely a tool they used.

They used you and then tossed you aside, that's it.

While you're in prison, you must reflect on yourself properly.

All these years I've walked the road, just how many mistakes have I made.

It's not scary to take the wrong path; what's scary is not knowing how to turn back.

A prodigal son who returns cannot be bought with gold.

I came to see you today hoping you can turn back.

Your mother heard you went to prison; look at how much her hair has turned white.

How much does she ache for you?

But your mother is uneducated and cannot express her feelings.

Since we came in, I've seen your attitude toward your mother.

Sun Dajun, you are already in your twenties,

In two more years you'll be almost thirty; people say one should stand at thirty.

If you don't change yourself, how can you stand up?

You must reflect on yourself in prison. If you don't, this imprisonment will have been in vain.

Reflect on why you were easily taken advantage of.

What are your own weaknesses,

and how to overcome them.

Sun Dajun, have you ever thought who is closest to you? Besides your mother, there's also me,

I am your father,

and your brothers and sisters; they are also your dearest. Yet you only listen to outsiders, never to your family.

Whatever I say, you oppose.

Now it's settled, the two of us are both hurt. I said, then took a drag and looked at Sun Dajun.

Sun Dajun at this moment took a drag and lifted his head,

then whispered, "I'm wrong, I'm wrong, Dad, I really am wrong."

"That's right; recognizing your mistake is enough. Do you know where you went wrong?" I asked.

"I shouldn't have believed that despicable woman's words; she was sowing discord between us father and son, and that guy surnamed Niu is no good either.

He also caused friction between you and me. I was led astray by them," Sun Dajun said through clenched teeth.

I looked at Sun Dajun and shook my head,

"Sun Dajun, what you said is wrong. Don't shift all the blame onto Kang Yali and Niu Ju.

They made mistakes, I know that. But you yourself—don't you have mistakes?

Your temper is volatile, and you don't like studying.

You act extremely impulsively,

thinking only of your own gain all day, never considering others.

Have you ever thought about these?

Your mother loves you so much,

Have you ever bought your mother a piece of clothing?

When you're with your brothers and sisters, you're always lashing out at them.

When the two of us are together, besides arguing, is there anything else,

Why argue? You're just too willful, only thinking of yourself, never caring for others.

From this you can see you're a selfish person. A selfish person is the easiest to be used.

I came today to tell you this so you can reflect. You must recognize your own mistakes,

shifting all responsibility onto others,

you will never improve.

Sun Dajun fell silent after I finished speaking, saying nothing more.

He looked at me,

I looked at him.

My eyes stared straight at him.

I hope to see his heart, to see him truly reflect on himself.

Sun Dajun, seeing my gaze burning like a torch, lowered his head again and murmured, "Dad, I really am wrong."

I was indeed too willful, just as you said.

I used to take many wrong paths,

I must slowly change myself. Dad, rest assured, I will reform properly inside.

to change myself completely.

After hearing Sun Dajun finish, I reached out my hand voluntarily,

grasped Sun Dajun's hand briefly,

The handcuffs on Sun Dajun's wrist were icy; I hope his heart is warm and that he can truly change himself.
