Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

When Wang Dashan went to Guangxi Beihai to rescue his younger brother, he had beaten three people: two pyramid scheme personnel who drove minivans to the bank to withdraw money, and the ringleader inside the pyramid scheme den.

At that time, when Wang Dashan, furious, beat the pyramid scheme ringleader in front of the police, the ringleader even threatened to sue Wang Dashan, but Wang Dashan did not take his words to heart, thinking it was nothing more than a threat and intimidation.

Unexpectedly, more than two weeks later, Wang Dashan was actually summoned.

The police from Guangxi Beihai called him, asking him to go back once to handle the matter of him beating someone.

When Wang Dashan received this call, he looked completely bewildered, thinking it was a scammer; later, the police had Lan Yunfang call him to communicate, and only then did he realize it was true.

It was also while communicating with Lan Yunfang that he learned that the pyramid scheme ringleader somehow found out Wang Dashan was not a police officer, then joined forces with the other two pyramid scheme personnel Wang Dashan had beaten, determined to sue Wang Dashan.

Hearing this, Wang Dashan laughed helplessly:

"They run pyramid schemes, harming so many people, yet they actually have the face to sue me? Is this not too absurd!"

Lan Yunfang also smiled wryly:

"Those who can do pyramid schemes with a clear conscience—do you still expect them to have conscience and morality? Although this matter is absurd, we must admit that the pyramid scheme ringleader knows the law quite well. If this follows legal procedure, their pyramid scheme is illegal and will indeed be sanctioned by law, but one thing is one thing: you beat them, which is indeed illegal. Now they are fixated on this point, clearly wanting revenge on you. If it weren't for you bringing the police to their nest, they wouldn't have been wiped out in one sweep."

Lan Yunfang also said:

"Wang Dashan, you must take this matter seriously. Because if it follows normal procedure, the final result will either be paying money to avoid disaster and gaining their understanding, or you might end up in prison."

Hearing this, Wang Dashan laughed in anger:

"I helped the police wipe out a pyramid scheme den; this is acting bravely for justice and punishing evil while promoting good. Fine, I get no reward for doing this, but in the end I still have to go to prison? I don't believe it. In such a great country, there is actually no law to support my actions!"

Lan Yunfang hurriedly said:

"Don't get angry; saying these things is useless. It's normal for you to be emotional, but the facts are what they are. You should go back to Beihai these few days. Now that the pyramid scheme ringleader has complained about you, the police must summon you. You need to cooperate with the police investigation; otherwise, even if you are in the right, you will end up in the wrong."

Wang Dashan was depressed to the extreme in his heart.

He had only returned to Guangzhou not long ago, and now he had to run to Beihai again, truly leaving him speechless.

And just at this time, right after he hung up Lan Yunfang's call, Wang Dashan received another call from his younger brother. His younger brother Wang Erhai told him he would come to Guangzhou today to rely on him.

Hearing this news from Wang Erhai, Wang Dashan felt somewhat surprised and shocked, but in the end he still let Wang Erhai come find him, because he knew that the only person his younger brother could now rely on was him, his older brother.

Actually, Wang Dashan had only been out in society for a short time. Since he returned from military retirement until now, it had been less than a year.

He did not have much social experience either, and when encountering sudden events, he would also be at a loss.

But as the older brother, he knew he had a burden on his shoulders; some responsibilities he had to bear, and even if he couldn't bear them, he had to grit his teeth and hold on.

Wang Dashan told Wang Erhai to call him again at Tianhe Bus Station, and then he would go pick up Wang Erhai.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Dashan fell into deep thought.

He was thinking whether to tell his younger brother about his current situation. After thinking it over, he finally felt it was better not to say it directly. Saying it would only add unnecessary worry to Wang Erhai. Instead, he would say he went back to Guangxi to find his comrade-in-arms Qin Dingjun, glossing over it lightly, and have Zhang Zhihao help look after his younger brother.

At around three in the afternoon, Wang Erhai arrived at Tianhe Bus Station.

Wang Dashan took the subway from Gangding to Tianhe Bus Station and soon arrived at the entrance of the bus station.

Here he saw Wang Erhai pulling a suitcase and carrying a black backpack. Wang Erhai dressed simply, his hair looked somewhat messy, and facing the hustle and bustle of the city, his eyes showed confusion and fear.

It was clear he had not completely emerged from the psychological shadow of being tricked into doing pyramid schemes. This shadow made him unable to help but feel panic toward the city's heavy traffic.

Originally, he should rest at his hometown for a while before coming out to find work—that would be the ideal state. But various realities forced him to leave the countryside and return to the big city.

The countryside nowadays is no longer the countryside of over ten years ago.

Under the dual influence of economic development and policy guidance, young men and women in the countryside are driven into the city in a hurry like a flock of ducks. The countryside actually no longer has a place for young people.

"Younger brother, you've only been out for a few days. You should rest longer at your hometown!"

Wang Dashan picked up Wang Erhai and helped him carry the suitcase.

Wang Erhai smiled wryly:

"Brother, don't worry. I'm much better now. I can take good care of myself and won't delay your work."

Wang Dashan said lightly:

"Tomorrow I have to go to Beihai again. Since you're coming now, I can't take care of you. But you don't need to worry either. You can stay in the house I rented. You don't need to rush to find work. In a moment, I'll communicate with the computer store boss. Let you help him sell computers for these few days. The computer store boss is a very good person, very righteous. For these few days when I'm not around, you follow him and work. If you really can't continue, you can find another job after I return."

At this time, Wang Dashan and Zhu Zhiming had already separated.

During the two months Wang Dashan went to Guangxi Beihai to rescue Wang Erhai, Zhu Zhiming had resigned from inside the computer store. Now he ran off to Shenzhen Foxconn to work. Hearing that Foxconn paid high wages, he ran there eagerly, without saying a word to Wang Dashan. When Wang Dashan returned to the rental house they rented together in Yuangang Village, he only then discovered Zhu Zhiming had already left.

But it was fine that Zhu Zhiming left. If he hadn't left, Wang Erhai wouldn't know where to stay tonight. After all, that rental house was very small, just a single room.

"Brother, why do you have to go to Beihai again?"

Upon learning Wang Dashan had to go to Beihai again, Wang Erhai immediately showed surprise.

Wang Dashan just smiled lightly and said:

"Last time I went to Beihai to rescue you, a comrade-in-arms helped me a lot. This time I'm going back mainly to thank that comrade-in-arms. Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."

Hearing this, Wang Erhai finally felt somewhat relieved. He had thought Wang Dashan had run into some trouble.

But in his heart, there was also a feeling of unease.

He had just come to Guangzhou, and his older brother was going to leave for a few days. He was alone in this big city. Could he really live well? Would he really not be cheated again?

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of grass ropes.

Facing a strange city, it was normal for Wang Erhai to have this worry in his heart.

Wang Dashan saw the panic in Wang Erhai's heart and comforted him, saying:

"After we put down the luggage, I'll take you to Computer City to see my boss. He's a very good person. For these few days when I'm not here, if you have anything, just tell him. As long as you speak up, he will definitely help you."
