Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 383. Want a son? Haha, sure!
This, is this a case of cutting off one’s escape route?
Feng Ju stared, clearly not expecting such a move: "Hey, so it’s the young people. Their minds are indeed more nimble. Such a brilliant gambit, why didn’t I think of it?"
Indeed!
Now Dai Weiguo’s pity is built on the foundation of him having a terminal illness and finding redemption. If his regret, guilt, or even his illness are fabricated, and then all his life stories are made public, ha, it’ll surely turn him from everyone’s sympathy to utter infamy in an instant!"
Having reached this stage, with her eldest son at a marriageable age, Liu Shuzhen: ...
She had long given up hope for that person, and hearing that he might have reached new depths of shamelessness didn’t make Lian En feel too disappointed or embarrassed.
She hoped that her mother was right and that this storm would pass quickly, minimizing the impact on her younger siblings.
Having dramatically sold a wave of tragedy, waiting for Lianshan and Shuzhen to react so he could press on and try to acknowledge his son in one go.
No one expected that after Lianshan’s call for help, Wu Liguo and others were already investigating whether his illness was real or not?
"This time, make sure to handle things perfectly, so that scoundrel has no chance to turn over!" Wu Liguo stood with hands behind his back, his typically stern face showing rare embarrassment: "Just like before, Shuzhen’s niece and nephew finally spoke up, and we made bold promises. But what happened? We let someone so destitute turn the tables!"
"If not for the initial negligence, how would we have this turmoil now?"
"Indeed, it’s all caused by assumptions!" Wei Lai sighed, as a group of people united in wishing to tremble with frustration, actually let something like a scoundrel miraculously turn the tables. It’s a rather ridiculous matter, yet it truly happened.
Thinking about the overwhelming news in the papers and on TV these days, and the potential reactions of Lianshan’s family upon seeing it, Wei Lai was filled with worry.
All these years, Lianshan and his wife hadn’t asked him for anything, just this one thing, and he messed it up.
With overwhelming guilt towards his benefactors, he proactively sought out Wu Lao, hoping to help in any way he could.
Though he didn’t quite believe someone would wish themselves a terminal illness for no good reason, the two of them still acted separately and invited ten or so well-respected senior doctors.
Feeling that that scoundrel’s comeback was too fierce and swift, Wei Lai deeply suspected there was something fishy about it and contacted a cousin who had fled to Hong Kong for safety years ago and was recently in touch.
He asked him to take advantage of being local to inquire into what Dai Weiguo had been up to over the years.
If evidence could be found that the guy had been up to illegal activities, they could directly throw him into prison for the rest of his life, thus cutting off any further trouble!
The senior Chinese doctors they found were quite adept, and despite Dai Weiguo wearing makeup to look particularly haggard and making a great effort to feign weakness.
More than half of the doctors were able to confidently determine through subtle observations like his voice, hair quality, and nails, that he was exaggerating his illness; the whole terminal illness claim was utterly baseless.
To be extra cautious, Wu Liguo even arranged for someone to mix into the TV station. Taking advantage of Dai Weiguo’s efforts to act pitiful and terminally ill, they observed him up close.
Having received definite news, Shuzhen wasted no time and directly held a press conference.
Once the news was out, reporters rushed over from all directions, scrambling to interview their family, only to be firmly refused and deprived of the opportunity to report, making the journalists quite agitated.
They eagerly prepared interview drafts, each question sharper than the last.
Especially those secretly bought off by Dai Weiguo, whose sharpness seemed to imply that Shuzhen and Lianshan blocking Lian En from acknowledging his biological father was cold, heartless, and irrational. Only by reconciling could they live up to the core socialist values.
But when the day of the press conference arrived, the reporters were collectively dumbfounded, realizing the rhythm was never in their grasp.
As soon as he took the stage, the central figure of the event, young painter Lian En, bowed deeply: "Thank you, journalist friends, for attending our press conference. I apologize for the previous exhibition publicity incident. After understanding the situation, I proactively contacted Mr. Dai, expressing my willingness to refund the payment and reclaim the artworks.
But he insisted on refusing. With the transaction completed, I was left with no choice.
After discussing with my parents, we decided to use the funds totaling 6.24 million from 312 paintings to establish a scholarship fund, primarily supporting impoverished children who have lost access to education.
Friends who previously called to return the paintings can also bring them over, and after verifying they are genuine, refunds will be made."
Such explosive news sent the scene into a frenzy, and the topic was instantly diverted.
Having dropped the bombshell, Lian En left the venue under the protection of security personnel via the back door, almost giving the present journalists no time to react.
Lianshan and Shuzhen stood smiling, not only without dodging but also actively cooperating to describe Dai Weiguo’s past actions.
Unlike Dai Weiguo’s blatant lies, Shuzhen and her husband came fully prepared.
Recordings and signatures from community members and the Dai family’s old relatives and friends; archived marriage certificate between her and Dai Weiguo, marriage and divorce files of Dai Weiguo and Bai Jing. Files of lawsuits previously brought against Dai Weiguo, testimony from prison guards and inmates during his incarceration.
An abundance of evidence clearly proves that Dai Weiguo is just a scoundrel willing to abandon his wife and child for wealth and prosperity.
Not to mention a blatant ungrateful wolf.
Morals devoid, character poor, and with a five-year imprisonment stint.
The abundance of ugly history amazed the seasoned journalists who had seen all the highs and lows.
However, even more surprising was that Liu Shuzhen, a renowned expert, did not hysterically shout things like "Such despicable actions deserve illness" or "Want to acknowledge a son? No way in this life!"
Instead, she smiled gracefully and sincerely spoke to the camera: "They say when someone dies, all grievances vanish, and blood ties can never be severed. If, if Mr. Dai truly has a terminal illness and is in critical condition, my husband and I are willing to persuade Lian En to call you father, allowing you to find peace in the afterlife.
However, due to prior experiences.
We absolutely cannot trust Mr. Dai’s character. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
You must undergo a joint examination by several reputable doctors from a Beijing hospital to confirm that this terminal illness or critical condition is not an outrageous fabrication!"
Want to acknowledge a son?
Sure!
The opportunity is right in front of you, it remains to be seen how you plan to grasp it.
Shuzhen smirked, particularly curious as to how Dai Weiguo, that scoundrel, would respond next. Whether his act of tragic heroism and self-sacrifice could cleanse the stench of scoundrel from him!
