Chapter 14: All About Being Shameless

Lin Dongfan is currently in the suspension investigation stage.

From a procedural standpoint, suspension investigation is not a punishment; it is a temporary suspension measure, and the organization will investigate and verify the related issues.

Whether he will ultimately receive a punishment depends on the final investigation outcome.

Lin Dongfan can be certain that Li Hengbo will do everything possible to ruin him. To achieve the goal of humiliating him, Li Hengbo has already assigned him the task of cleaning the toilets.

Within the system, some people with strong self-respect cannot endure sitting on the cold bench and will voluntarily resign.

Lin Dongfan also has self-respect.

But Lin Dongfan never thought of giving in; he never gave in before, and now it's even less possible for him to give in.

He has already obtained a marriage certificate with Chu Lingxi, becoming Chu family's son-in-law; he only needs to endure until his father-in-law is reinstated, then he can wipe away past shame.

"The toilet floor is covered in water—how did you manage the work? Hurry up and mop it dry!"

Yesterday Li Hengbo was sent to the hospital; after examination there was no serious problem, he took some medicine and went home. Today he again flaunted his authority, and as soon as he entered the office he publicly reprimanded Lin Dongfan.

These were expected developments, and Lin Dongfan didn't care how the people around him viewed him.

He replied calmly: "I just mopped the floor dry; I seriously suspect that some son-of-a-bitch without an asshole deliberately poured water on the floor."

"If you don't want to keep mopping, then just stay in the toilet and guard it!" Li Hengbo said sternly.

Lin Dongfan stood up without courtesy and retorted: "You think you're giving me face? Cleaning toilets was never my proper duty! As a member of the political and legal system, do I need to popularize laws and regulations for you?"

"It wasn't your proper duty before, but it is now!"

Li Hengbo suddenly produced a job transfer notice and slammed it heavily onto Lin Dongfan's desk.

He announced publicly:

"In light of recent incidents where someone was assaulted and injured in the toilet, after organizational study and decision, we deem it necessary to strengthen toilet hygiene cleaning, safety protection, and privacy protection work! Effective immediately, you are officially transferred to manage the toilet! From today onward, any problems that arise in the toilet will be your sole responsibility!"

Lin Dongfan took the notice and examined it carefully.

He smiled and gave a thumbs-up: "Damn, that's impressive—you specially created a toilet management post just for me. Last night's meal, it seems, wasn't wasted on you."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Go clean the toilet right now!" Li Hengbo shouted angrily.

Lin Dongfan replied calmly: "You want to force me to resign, but I won't. I'm thick-skinned; being a toilet director doesn't matter to you. Are you trying to piss me off or not?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yuhong, who had been full of righteous indignation, burst out laughing with a 'pfft'.

The other colleagues present also couldn't help but laugh.

This unexpected reaction infuriated Li Hengbo, turning his face ashen; he turned and glared at everyone, causing the crowd to stifle their laughter, lower their heads, and pretend to work diligently.

Lin Dongfan moved his office chair to the entrance of the men's toilet.

If he also placed a table at the doorway, it would resemble a toll collector at a public toilet—looking leisurely but actually having nothing to do.

A flat-style big mop makes it easy to dry the floor; just a couple of pushes and it's done.

The rest of the time, Lin Dongfan sat at the doorway playing on his phone. Although mobile internet in this era isn't very exciting, sending a few messages and chatting is still pleasant.

Afternoon.

Perhaps seeing Lin Dongfan enjoying himself too much, Li Hengbo, upon entering the toilet, sprayed a puddle of foul-smelling urine all over the floor.

Lin Dongfan feigned surprise: "Kidney issues? You can't even aim into such a large urinal. I know a reliable old Chinese doctor; would you like me to get you some Diamond Mighty Strength Pills?"

"Even if my kidneys are shot, I could still get your fiancée pregnant." Li Hengbo snorted repeatedly.

Lin Dongfan frowned regretfully: "Forgot to tell you, Fang Xiaoqian has nothing to do with me; I've already gotten a marriage certificate with Chu Lingxi. In this lifetime, you shouldn't even be able to lick Chu Lingxi's toes."

"It seems I pissed in the wrong place; I should have pissed on your face to wake you up." Li Hengbo treated it as a huge joke, confidently mocking Lin Dongfan: "The woman I chased for two years and never got, you just picked her up at the airport and want to take her home—who do you think you are? Damn, you have no idea what you're getting into."

"I really am Chu Lingxi's husband, and her mother even gave me a car—I haven't forgotten." Lin Dongfan nodded, as if realizing something.

Li Hengbo snorted: "Dreams contain everything; keep dreaming, you. Someone like you, oblivious to your limits, a big idiot, assigning you to guard the toilet is pure waste utilization. Hurry up and mop the urine dry—if sanitation is lacking, you'll get a warning or a demerit; next time I won't bother reminding you."

"A guy who can't even aim into a urinal, all he has left is a tough mouth." Lin Dongfan smiled lightly.

Li Hengbo laughed and scolded: "Is your mother blind? I did that on purpose!"

"My ex-girlfriend said you finish in five seconds—don't deny it." Lin Dongfan frowned slightly, a hint of sympathy appearing on his face.

Li Hengbo immediately couldn't laugh: "Damn, you really are shameless, wearing a green hat with pride, huh? Want me to sleep with her a few more times?"

"My ex-girlfriend said you finish in five seconds—don't deny it." Lin Dongfan, expressionless.

Li Hengbo's face flushed with anger: "Cut the crap! I never fail to make her scream; each time lasts at least half an hour!"

"My ex-girlfriend said you finish in five seconds—don't deny it."

"You're the one who only lasts five seconds!"

"My ex-girlfriend said you finish in five seconds—don't deny it."

"Fuck!!!"

Li Hengbo, his anger flaring, kicked Lin Dongfan in the abdomen! Seeing Lin Dongfan didn't dodge, Li Hengbo's face also showed a gleam of satisfaction.

"Come on, bring out the posture you had yesterday and thrust it at me!"

Li Hengbo assumed a fearless posture, pointing at his own abdomen.

He thought, "Today is different from yesterday!"

"From today on, if anything happens in the toilet, you, Lin Dongfan, bear all responsibility! If you dare to knee me like yesterday, I'll make you regret it!"

Just as Li Hengbo, full of confidence, thought everything was under his control,

Lin Dongfan suddenly flung himself to the ground: "Secretary Li hit someone!"

This sudden howl startled Li Hengbo, leaving him bewildered: "What the hell do you mean? Where's yesterday's ferocity?"

"He hit someone, Secretary Li hit someone! Oh no, my stomach hurts, Secretary Li hit someone!"

Lin Dongfan lay on the ground clutching his stomach, shouting louder and louder.

"Are you sick? Get up!!!"

Realizing something was off, the flustered Li Hengbo kicked Lin Dongfan again, trying to force him to get up and fight back.

Lin Dongfan continued lying on the ground howling: "Secretary Li hit someone! Is anyone going to intervene? Secretary Li hit someone! Someone's going to get killed…"

"Secretary Li, you're going too far! How can you hit someone!"

Su Yuhong heard the voice and ran over; behind her were several onlooking colleagues.

Even the office Director Wang heard the sound and ran over; he glanced at Lin Dongfan groaning on the floor, then turned and demanded of Li Hengbo, "What's going on?!"

"Director Wang, he threw himself on the floor! I really didn't do anything to him."

Li Hengbo explained, his face turning white.

Su Yuhong, indignant, retorted: "There are footprints on his clothes—how can you say you didn't hit him? Where did those footprints come from? Take off your shoes and compare them…"

"Call 120, send him to the hospital!"

Director Wang cut off Su Yuhong's demand to gather evidence.

He turned and glared at Li Hengbo angrily: "Come to my office for a moment!"

"!!!"

Li Hengbo's face was as grim as if he were at a funeral, every pore exuding a resentful aura.

Yesterday Lin Dongfan gave him a beating—like a mute eating coptis, suffering in silence! Today he had made all preparations; he should have been victorious all the way, but in the end it was again a mute eating coptis.

He just couldn't figure it out—what the hell was going on? This is utterly unfair!
