The wait this time seemed extraordinarily long.
So long that Suizi thought the other side had disconnected.
Eventually, a reply came from the other end, though the voice seemed somewhat hoarse.
"Why...don't you find your biological father?"
"My biological father is just a farmer who drinks heavily. He's uneducated, has no class, no income. How can I ask such a person for help?"
"You know very well, I'm not talking about that man in the village!"
"I want to live. I want to stay alive. Therefore, my biological father can only be Chen Kaide from the village. Isn't this the best outcome for both you and me, and for the whole situation?"
"Indeed, you are very smart, just like your mother -- no, you are even smarter than she was. At twenty, she was not nearly as mature as you."
"Have you ever lost something?" Suizi asked.
The man was taken aback.
At his status, few people dared to confront him so directly. Most people inflated his ego and went along with him.
