Chapter 293 He didn't want to be a scapegoat; he had no other choice!
Reading Settings
This operation truly dazzled the street office staff; only now do they realize that what they were trying to catch was actually a myna bird.
It's also a talking myna bird.
I wonder whose bird this myna is; it's so intelligent! Its tongue is so fluent…
"What kind of work are you all doing? You can't even handle a bird! If you really can't manage, get the security department over here and shoot it dead!"
The director of the neighborhood office was extremely frustrated. They were under a lot of pressure from above, since the scandal had already become the talk of the town.
The power of sex scandals is still significant, having a considerable impact on those in power.
However, these days, everyone knows one thing: organizations can still be trusted and relied upon.
Although such a shameless big shot has emerged, it is only the behavior of an individual.
This kind of person should be dragged out and drowned in a pig cage! As a warning to others!
Of course, the neighbors didn't dare say these things directly to others, but they talked about them in private.
But the neighbors have something to say about this talking myna bird:
"Wow, this bird is amazing! It talks like it's performing a comedy routine!"
"Is that what you call crosstalk? I blushed when I heard that joke."
"Haha, you're a grown man, why are you blushing? You're not a young girl or a young wife, what's there to be embarrassed about? You'll be getting married and having a wife someday!"
"However, this myna is so intelligent. It would be so much fun to keep this bird at our home."
"Come on, this bird is a troublemaker. I wonder who its owner is. If it gets caught, it'll be in big trouble."
These discussions also reached the ears of the important figure's driver.
The driver was also frustrated; after all that, he had at least managed to save the important person's life.
The Gu family had a love-hate relationship with him.
If it weren't for this driver, Old Man Gu would probably be on his deathbed.
But it was precisely because of this driver that their family became the laughingstock of the entire capital.
The drivers have recently been placed in solitary confinement to stop the rumors at their source.
As a result, the driver was put in solitary confinement, but rumors continued to circulate outside.
Interestingly, that day the myna bird actually flew to the window of the room where the driver was being held in solitary confinement and started cawing and making a lewd joke:
"The untold stories about the important old man Gu and Luo Qingyan, Chapter Sixteen..."
The driver was completely numb.
"Holy crap, you're really trying to fly! You've made up this story sixteen times already! I recognize you now, weren't you the one staring out of that car window the day the accident happened?"
"My God, this bird has become a spirit! It can even tell jokes?"
"Oh, please, brother, you should leave now. If you stay here, I'll never be able to clear my name!"
"People will think I taught you this! Hurry up and fly away! I don't have anything good to give you, so don't try to trick me again!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the door to the solitary confinement cell opened, leaving the driver utterly horrified.
"No, madam, let me explain! It wasn't me who said that. This myna bird flew over from somewhere and just kept chattering away..."
"Madam, this bird is doing it on purpose! It's slandering me, it's slandering me..."
The driver was almost in tears. What kind of mess is this? Is this some kind of inhumane situation?
He's already had enough bad luck, how could he encounter something so bizarre?
Old Gu's wife is almost sixty years old this year, but she is well-maintained and doesn't look like someone her age at all.
Time never defeats a beauty. It's clear that this old lady was once a beauty, but now that she's older, she has a unique charm. She looks like a well-educated and intellectual woman.
She exudes the wisdom and grace of age, and possesses a youthful charm!
"I know, this bird has flown all over the capital, telling everyone the story of my old man Gu and Luo Qingyan. Now he's famous."
Seeing Madam Gu's current state, the driver swallowed hard.
"No, Madam, what... what do you mean by this? I'm stupid and don't understand."
As a result, Madam Gu simply smiled calmly:
"You don't need to understand, you just need to know that you're going to be the scapegoat now."
"Someone has to take the blame for this. Old Gu is now bedridden and can't move."
"The higher-ups definitely won't target him anymore, so the ones who will be targeted and implicated are naturally you poor wretches who have no way to resist."
"As for Luo Qingyan, I've already figured it out; the higher-ups want to protect her!"
"So, who do you think will be the next unlucky one?"
"Whether you're innocent or not is irrelevant; what matters is that you're incredibly unlucky!"
The driver was so moved by Madam Gu's words that he was on the verge of tears. He bowed deeply, almost touching the dust with his knees.
"Madam, since you've told me all this, you must have a way to save me. Just tell me what you need. I'm willing to do anything I can to save you!"
Madam Gu then revealed a sly smile, her mind completely at ease:
"Sure enough, none of those who work for Lao Gu are stupid. Talking to smart people is so effortless."
"Since you're so sensible, from now on you just need to listen to me and do things according to my instructions!"
"Don't worry, with me here, your future will certainly be bright!"
Upon hearing this, driver Zhao Dongsheng almost knelt down, and thanked Madam Gu profusely, saying:
"Madam, from now on, I, Zhao Dongsheng, will follow your lead without question!"
Madam Gu nodded, then gently helped him straighten up:
“I know you have an elderly mother who needs care. You haven’t started a family because you’re afraid of being a burden to other girls.”
“You are a kind person, but on this path, kindness is the most deadly poison. You need to change that in the future.”
"Look at all the bad luck you've had lately. Isn't it true that good deeds don't always go unrewarded? You're the best example of that..."
Upon hearing this, driver Zhao Dongsheng was both amused and exasperated.
These days, people value conduct and moral character, and many take pride in these qualities. Some are even willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of collective honor and property.
But what are those in high positions doing? Even someone like Madam Gu told him not to be so kind anymore…
What on earth happened? He has always been dutiful, so why should he have to suffer all this?
Why make him take the blame? What does this have to do with him?
For a moment, driver Zhao Dongsheng was in a state of panic.
Interestingly, the myna bird that kept telling erotic jokes was still nearby, and seeing this scene, Zhao Dongsheng felt a sudden tightness in his heart for no reason.
"Madam, I must catch this bird. If it spreads any negative rumors about you, we'll be in big trouble!"
However, just as he had this thought, the myna bird had already flown away...
