A 50-year-old man is reborn and becomes a complete slacker, leaving his scumbag children completely

Hu Wangfu's back was now covered in a thick layer of sweat.

However, he thought that it was best not to agree to this matter. Perhaps his adoptive parents did not have real confidence that he was the one who did it. After all, all the income and expenditure were not paid by him, but by Hu Wangmei.

This is why Hu Wangfu asked Hu Wangmei to be in charge of handling this matter.

Thinking of this, Hu Wangfu gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressed his turbulent emotions, and said calmly to Hua Fuyou and the others, "Dad, Mom, what do you mean by this? I don't quite understand it."

Hua Fuyou secretly admired Hu Wangfu's calm demeanor. This kid was truly a talent; he could remain unfazed even in the face of such a situation.

If he is properly trained, he will definitely become an extraordinary person. He has been involved in various fields for many years and knows that those who can achieve great things in various industries are basically the kind who can remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses in front of them. Hu Wangfu, a child, can now be vaguely seen to have such abilities.

But even if Hu Wangfu is incredibly smart and a child prodigy, Hua Fuyou is not going to let go of any opportunity to restore his son's sight.

If you miss out on Hu Wangfu, finding someone you can control next time might not be so easy.

So Hua Fuyou immediately put aside his thoughts and sneered, "Keep pretending. Do you really think that I, who own such a big brick factory, would not even have the ability to control this little bit?"

"I may tell you the truth, but from the day you recruited Hu Wangmei into the factory, I have been keeping an eye on you, just to see what kind of things you are going to do."

“We originally hoped that you might have some conscience and wouldn’t do anything reckless, but we didn’t expect that you had absolutely no self-control. Not only did you not know how to restrain yourself, but you also went further and did even more outrageous things.”

"Before, you were only skimming off tens or hundreds of dollars, but now you're making thousands or tens of thousands of dollars off of it."

Hearing Hua Fuyou's words, Hu Wangfu felt a deep sense of gratitude.

He never imagined that they thought what they were doing was so secretive that almost no one knew about it.

Little did they know, Hua Fuyou had been paying close attention to them all along.

However, Hu Wangfu still had his last trump card: Hu Wangmei. Since everything could be pinned on Hu Wangmei, he said with a shocked expression, "Dad, you mean this was something Hu Wangmei embezzled from our house?"

Then he firmly stated, "Dad, you've got it wrong. Although I helped get Hu Wangmei into the brick factory, I never expected her to be such a thief. If I had known, I shouldn't have let her work in our factory."

"To be honest, I was just being soft-hearted at the time. She begged me to get her a job, and I agreed because we're related by blood. I never imagined that Hu Wangmei would still be like a leopard that can't change its spots, with her inherently bad nature. Dad, this was indeed my fault, you can punish me as you see fit."

"Or, I could go to her and persuade her to hand over all the money and return it to you. What do you think?"

As he spoke, Hu Wangfu's eyes turned red, and tears streamed down his face. He looked as if he were blaming himself and feeling remorse.

Hua Fuyou gave Hu Wangfu a deep look, completely captivated by Hu Wangfu's acting skills.

Someone like you should really go find a movie crew and become a TV drama actor. You're clearly the villain and the mastermind, yet you shed tears faster than the one who's been wronged.

To be honest, if Hua Fuyou hadn't truly grasped all the evidence, given the current situation, he suspected he would be misled by Hu Wangfu.

Hua Fuyou said, "Keep acting, keep acting."

"Hu Wangmei has already secretly run away, and she should have realized her mistake by now. Are you still trying to make her your scapegoat?"

"What! Impossible!" Upon hearing this, Hu Wangfu immediately stood up, shouting in disbelief.

None of what Hua Fuyou said earlier caused Hu Wangfu to lose his composure.

That's because he always knew he had a way out: to shift all the blame onto Hu Wangmei.

But now that Hu Wangmei has run away, his escape route is gone.

Hua Fuyou's face revealed a hint of mockery. "Little brat, weren't you always such a good actor? Why aren't you acting anymore? Can't act anymore?"

He said calmly, "If you don't believe me, I can take you to where she lives. Once you see it, you'll know."

When Hu Wangfu heard Hua Fuyou speak so confidently, he knew that Hua Fuyou was definitely not lying to him.

Otherwise, they certainly wouldn't have been so confident in saying that to me.

He stumbled, lost his balance, and fell onto the stool.

With a look of terror, he said to Hua Fuyou, "Father, I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

"I'm just too worried that I won't be valued by you, so I want to make some money to boost my confidence."

“Dad, you know that I’ve had a hard life since I was a child. I’ve always been insecure. Even after I came to your home, I still felt insecure. I was afraid that you would dislike me, and I was afraid that I would embarrass you if I went out.”

Hu Wangfu's words were a weak and far-fetched excuse for his actions.

However, his words could also be considered a rather suitable excuse.

A soft-hearted person might actually be fooled by Hu Wangfu's words.

But right now, Hua Fuyou is no longer soft-hearted. He only has one task in mind and only wants to do one thing: to help his son, Hua Qizhong, regain his sight.

He looked at Hu Wangfu and said sarcastically, "Now you know you were wrong?"

"But do you know how much damage you've caused to our brick factory?"

“Our brick factory has never lost money before, but this year, all the money we made last year has been lost.”

"Do you even know what kind of things you guys did?"

“If I report your actions to the police, you will be guilty of embezzling public funds, which constitutes serious theft!”

"With the little money you've embezzled, once you're in there, you'll never get out. You'll spend the rest of your life working on a sewing machine, haha."

Upon hearing this, Hu Wangfu's eyes widened instantly. He hadn't expected Hua Fuyou to be so ruthless as to actually arrest him and send him to jail.

He knew he most likely couldn't escape, but he gritted his teeth and tried one last time, saying to Hua Fuyou:

"Dad, give me some time. I'll pay back all the money I got before. Can you please not call the police? After all, I didn't really do this, and the police shouldn't be able to trace it back to me. It would only embarrass you if they did investigate."
