Chapter 1360: Chapter 1386: Having Triplets 7
Li Tingyan sneered,
"Yes, I wanted to say, Huzi, you have been with me for so many years, and I have not treated you poorly. Your family’s circumstances are difficult, and every month I give you extra wages. And this is how you repay me, huh?"
Huzi’s pupils contracted slightly, "Li Ye, do you believe what Saozi said? You think I betrayed you?"
Before Li Tingyan could speak, Ni Jia couldn’t help but fan the flames,
"Li Ye, it’s not just me saying this, but Chu Nianyang, she speaks without thinking and randomly points out a culprit. You actually believe her?
I know you dote on your wife, but your subordinates have followed you for so many years. Are you really that blinded by affection?"
These words seem to be defending Huzi, but in reality, they are intentionally provoking everyone, inciting discord among the crew.
The crew would feel Li Tingyan is irresponsible, slandering his brothers just to please his wife, which would be deeply disheartening for everyone.
Sure enough, hearing Ni Jia’s words, not only the crew but even the fishermen started to have opinions on Li Tingyan.
Even his long-time brothers can be casually slandered; in Li Ye’s eyes, aren’t they just cannon fodder?
Nianyang smiled gently, "Doctor Ni, this is none of your business, so you’d better not get overexcited. I accuse Huzi because I have evidence."
Huzi replied calmly, "What evidence do you have? My hands are clean, just like everyone else’s. On what basis do you accuse me? How do you expect me to accept this!"
His other brothers also added, "Exactly, Saozi, you can’t just wrong someone, how can you slander your own people? What reason does Huzi have to sabotage the land?
That’s everyone’s livelihood. His family is already in poor condition, he wouldn’t be that foolish, would he?"
"Of course, it’s because someone offered him more benefits, solved his problems more effectively than Li Ye, and naturally, he betrayed us for wealth and prosperity."
Nianyang spoke with conviction, her gaze sharp,
"And it’s not just about sabotaging the land. Last time, when the warehouse supplies were stolen, it was Huzi who leaked the trap locations to the pirates.
He drugged the drinks, which is why you all fainted after a few drinks, allowing the pirates to evade the traps and steal our supplies!"
Huzi almost couldn’t stand still, choked up, "Saozi, you’re talking nonsense. It’s one thing to slander me, but now you’re trying to pin crimes from months ago on me?
I get it now, you and Li Ye are scapegoating me to dodge responsibility, I truly didn’t expect you to be so shameless. I, Huzi, have finally seen through you!"
"I think that phrase might be more appropriate for you."
Nianyang sneered, curling her lips, "You wanted proof, didn’t you? I’m giving it to you now. You said your hands are clean, right? This is the evidence!"
Huzi was stunned, and everyone else was confused, what does this mean?
Li Tingyan, tall and long-legged, stood in front of Huzi with a powerful aura, his voice cold enough to cut through,
"Actually, there is no real color change, the powder in the box is just regular Chinese herbal medicine. Anyone’s hand in there wouldn’t change color. This was just a setup by my wife, and all of you pressed your hands in, leaving residue of the herbal powder. But Huzi’s hands are clean; you didn’t press your palm in. Am I right?"
