Chapter 50 Extraordinary means
"Alright, Granny Zhao, it's getting late, I should go back now. Now that Brother Zhao is back, I'll come to see you again when I have time."
Su Li greeted Zhao's mother with a smile, glanced at the prickly Zhao Ji, and walked out the door unhurriedly.
She didn't expect Zhao Ji to lower his guard after just one or two times.
However, today's trip was not without its rewards. At least, she discovered that Zhao's mother was indeed a kind old lady, and children raised by such a person would certainly not be bad.
Su Li's figure disappeared at the alley entrance. Zhao Ji hurriedly pulled his mother in front of him and looked her over carefully from head to toe. Seeing that his mother was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The tense atmosphere inside the room instantly dissipated.
"Mother, that woman didn't say anything nonsense to you, did she?"
Zhao Ji's eyes darted around, and when he turned his head, he saw some things that had inexplicably appeared on the table, and he couldn't help but frown.
He strode to the table, and with a wave of his hand, he swept the things to the ground, making a series of loud, clattering noises.
Zhao Ji's face flushed red, his cheeks puffed out, and he angrily said to his mother, "Mother, this woman is wicked! From now on, whatever she gives you, don't accept it, just throw it away!"
Zhao's mother was frail, like a yellow leaf swaying precariously on a branch in late autumn. Yet, at this moment, her eyes shone with an unusual sharpness. She remained silent, simply gazing at Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji felt uneasy under his mother's gaze, and his heart raced with panic. He instinctively looked away.
"Mother, why are you looking at me like that? Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to see a doctor as soon as I get my wages in a few days..."
After a long while, Zhao's mother finally raised her head slightly, the sharpness in her eyes gradually turning into a faint sense of melancholy. She slowly spoke:
“Aji, you have to have a conscience when you do things, you can’t act recklessly.”
"Although I'm old and have trouble walking even a few steps, I'm still very clear-headed. I think Miss Su is a good girl. I don't want to ask what you did to her; you know the truth yourself..."
After saying that, Zhao's mother slowly bent down and picked up the things on the ground one by one with difficulty, gently patting off the dust. Then, carrying the things, she walked into the house with faltering steps.
Zhao Ji stood motionless in the main room for a while, his face turning pale and then red, his eyes filled with struggle. He bit his lower lip so hard that his teeth almost dug into his flesh.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore, so he suddenly looked up and yelled "Awooo!" Then he dashed out the door like a gust of wind.
Su Li was walking home when she heard Zhao Ji calling out from behind her.
She stopped and turned around to see Zhao Ji running towards her with a guilty look on his face.
Zhao Ji approached Su Li, bowed deeply, and said, "Miss Su, I was wrong, I'm really not human! I hit someone, and you not only didn't hold a grudge against me, but you were also so kind to my mother. I am truly ashamed!"
He looked up, his eyes bloodshot. "Why don't you slap me a couple of times? With a stick, a brick, anything! Hit me a few times!"
Su Li gently shook her head: "Brother Zhao, I know you're not a bad person at heart, you've just been led astray. As long as you can change your ways, it's not too late."
Upon hearing Su Li's words, Zhao Ji felt even more ashamed. He lowered his head, not daring to look Su Li in the eye.
There was not a trace of blame in those eyes, but rather a deep sense of forgiveness, which made him feel even more distressed.
Zhao Ji took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and dared to raise his eyes again. His gaze was firm, and he said decisively:
"Miss Su, don't worry, I will definitely turn over a new leaf! As for that Sun Mao guy, I'll help you deal with him. I can't let him continue to harm people!"
Su Li looked at Zhao Ji and felt a little relieved, but then she heard him mention Sun Mao harming people. It seemed that Sun Mao had done more than one bad thing behind the scenes.
“Brother Zhao, Sun Mao let it slip when he was drunk. He said that he took money from someone to teach my brother a lesson. Do you know whose money he took?”
Su Li stared intently at Zhao Ji, her heart pounding in her chest.
The vendors at the dock wouldn't dare to harm my brother. Either they've offended someone at the dock without realizing it, or the Su family and their wicked schemes are sabotaging him from behind.
Therefore, the answer Zhao Ji gave was crucial!
Zhao Ji paused for a moment, then shook his head, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes:
"I really didn't know that. Sun Mao never mentioned it to me. He just said he wanted to teach a clueless kid a lesson and promised to give me money, so I went with him..."
However, I know that he often steals goods at the docks to sell in order to obtain gambling funds!
I also know that he colluded with some thugs to deliberately create chaos during the loading and unloading of goods, and then take advantage of the confusion to hide some of the goods!
"I see, thank you, Brother Zhao." Su Li nodded and fell into deep thought.
Perhaps sensing Su Li's disappointment, Zhao Ji patted his chest and continued:
“I can help you gather evidence of his theft. I know several locations where he hides the stolen goods, and we can set up an ambush there to catch him red-handed when he commits another crime. I can also testify and expose his misdeeds at the docks, making it impossible for him to stay there any longer!”
"Miss Su, it was wrong of me to hit someone. From now on, if you need anything, just let me know!"
Su Li understood that to ensure Sun Mao received the punishment he deserved, sufficient evidence was needed. As for who exactly Sun Mao had taken money from, she would find out after he was expelled from the dock.
So the two hit it off and began to carefully plan and collect evidence.
She first instructed Zhao Ji to secretly record the time, type, and quantity of goods that Sun Mao stole each time he worked with Sun Mao.
Meanwhile, Su Li disguised herself and staked out the black market near the dock, observing Sun Mao's process of selling stolen goods, and quickly sketched the scene of the transaction and the appearance of the people involved on paper with a charcoal pencil.
They even followed Sun Mao, staking out the locations where he hid the stolen goods multiple times, to ensure they could catch him red-handed next time...
After several days of effort, Su Li finally compiled the evidence into a book, and then she took the evidence to the residence of the dock manager.
She bowed respectfully to Steward Yu, handed over the evidence, and said solemnly:
"Sir, I have come to expose Sun Mao's many misdeeds at the dock. He is a wicked man who, in order to raise gambling funds, not only steals goods but also colludes with local thugs, seriously damaging the interests and reputation of the dock."
"Your Honor is always fair and just. The evidence is here. We hope Your Honor will rid the dock of this scourge!"
Manager Yu took the evidence book and turned the pages one by one, his face growing increasingly gloomy.
"My lord, the prosperity and stability of the docks are inseparable from your wise management. If Sun Mao is allowed to act recklessly like this, I fear that more people will follow suit in the future, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Although I am just a woman, I cannot bear to see the docks destroyed by such a villain, which is why I have taken the liberty of coming here."
Su Li's words were frank, reasonable, and fair.
The evidence is all there; Sun Mao is indeed a cancer, and anyone can see that. There is absolutely no reason to keep him around to continue causing harm.
However, Steward Yu slowly closed the book in his hand, raised his head, his gaze scrutinizing him, and suddenly spoke:
"Are you going to such lengths to collect this evidence because your brother was beaten up by this person, and you're here to get revenge?"
