Yu Lili looked blankly at the phone trying to process that Wen Fenglin had just hung up on her, feeling bewildered.

How did this happen? Ou Ming’s mother had passed the phone to Ou Ming’s father, and Ou Ming’s father had pushed the responsibility over to Uncle Wen. Was Ou Ming really their child? Or had he been picked up from the streets? Abandoning a blind man in an unfamiliar place with no one to care for him... Wasn’t that asking for trouble?

Yu Lili suddenly thought of something. Ou Ming’s network was vast. He had friends in every corner of the country. Although most of the friendships did not exactly run deep, there was no lack of people who were eager to curry favor with him once they knew who he was.

For such an individual, all he had to do was make a call and going hungry wouldn’t even be an option.

Alternatively, did he not want anyone else to witness him in this state?

The more Yu Lili thought about it, the more plausible that reasoning seemed. Her heart was suddenly filled with sorrow.

At the end of the day, it was still his pride at work. Left with no other option, Yu Lili made her way back.

She called Shen Zhilie to inquire as to their whereabouts and headed in the direction that Shen Zhilie told her.

When she reached the restaurant, Yu Lili realized that Ou Ming’s hand was wrapped in a towel.

Something looked wrong with that hand.

Yu Lili couldn’t help taking a second look and asked, “What happened to your hand?”

“Scalded by hot water.” Ou Ming took of the towel that was wrapped around his hand and placed his hand on the table.

Blisters had begun to form. It looked severe. His entire palm was an vivid red.

“How did you get scalded that bad?” Yu Lili asked with furrowed brows. She reached out for Ou Ming’s hand. When she was that he was very obviously in pain, she felt uneasy.

She turned to look at Shen Zhilie and remarked, “You can’t even take care of a blind man properly? Seriously...”

“He was trying to test if I was really blind,” Ou Ming said to rat Shen Zhilie out. But, that’s all he said.

Without needing Ou Ming to elaborate further, Yu Lili came to her own conclusions regarding the details of what had transpired. Had he put the boiling water in front of him and deliberately watched him hurt himself?

Yu Lili instantly looked at Shen Zhilie in the eye accusingly.

Shen Zhilie immediately widened his eyes and rebutted, “Hey! Tell the whole story! You’re the one who overturned the cup on your own! Stop maligning me!”

“But, you asked me many times whether or not I was pretending to be blind. Then, I overturned the cup of boiling water. What do you expect me to think?” Ou Ming retorted self-confidently. His eyes were unfocused, but his voice was strong.

“F*ck! Are you trying to say that I deliberately harmed you?” Shen Zhilie asked.

“I didn’t say that. You’re the one who said that,” Ou Ming answered straightforwardly without a trace of anger.

That statement made Shen Zhilie feel even more like he was being unjustly accused. That feeling was accompanied with heartbreak when he saw the lack of belief in Yu Lili’s eyes.

This d*mned blind man! He even knew how to rat me out!

Ou Ming was now in a weaker position, and humans had the tendency to root for the underdog.

Shen Zhilie had lost the opportunity in the first strike. Regardless of what he said now, Yu Lili would just treat it as if he was trying to make excuses for himself.

The scariest part of the whole thing was that after Ou Ming had made his report, he had managed to trap Shen Zhilie into accusing himself. F*ck...what on earth was this?

Ou Ming was far too scheming. Shen Zhilie felt his anger boil over, but he had no idea what he could say.

Yu Lili looked at Shen Zhilie as if she were completely unperturbed and asked, “Have you placed your order?”
