Chapter 603: Brother and Sister Have One Heart

Shan Ji's brother was a little shaken after hearing Shan Ji's brother's words. But his doubts and worries did not completely disappear. "Brother, I'm afraid you will be hurt again." Shan Ji's brother patted Shan Ji's brother on the shoulder: "Brother, I know you are doing this for my own good. But I am not the same person I used to be. Believe me, okay?"

While Brother Shan Ji and Brother Shan Ji were talking, Qi Tongwei also rushed to the factory. He was relieved to see Brother Shan Ji and Brother Shan Ji together. He walked up to them, looked at Brother Shan Ji and said, "Brother Shan Ji, I know you have misunderstood me. But I promise you that I will do my best to help your brother and give him a new life. I hope you can believe me."

Shan Jidi looked at Qi Tongwei, still with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. But when he saw the sincerity on Qi Tongwei's face, the hostility in his heart gradually decreased. "Okay, I will trust you for now. But if I find out that you have any bad intentions, I will not let you go." Qi Tongwei nodded: "Okay, I accept your supervision."

Hou Liangping felt a little relieved when he learned that Brother Shan Ji had found Brother Shan Ji and resolved some of the conflicts. He realized that his previous approach might have been too one-sided and he did not consider the whole picture. He decided to re-examine his views on Qi Tongwei and Brother Shan Ji and no longer interfere easily.

After the brief reconciliation at the abandoned factory, Shan Jidi temporarily put aside his hostility towards Qi Tongwei, but his inner resentment and unwillingness were like an undercurrent and had not really dissipated. He wandered alone in the streets and alleys, and his mind kept replaying the images of his brother suffering in prison and the so-called "hypocritical" behavior of Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping in his eyes. Every time he recalled it, it was like pouring a bucket of oil on the anger in his heart, making it burn more and more.

"Brother, you are too naive. Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping will not let us go easily. We must strike first." Shan Ji's younger brother found Shan Ji's older brother, his eyes full of determination. Shan Ji's older brother looked at his younger brother, his heart full of helplessness and worry: "Brother, you are wrong. Qi Tongwei really wants to help me, we can't repay kindness with enmity. Although Hou Liangping had some misunderstandings before, he has restrained himself now. We should cherish this hard-earned peace and work hard to move towards a new life."

Brother Shan Ji disagreed. He shouted angrily: "Brother, when you were in prison, they did a lot of things to trip you up. Qi Tongwei just wanted to use you to clear himself, and Hou Liangping has always wanted to kill us. Why can't you see it clearly?" Brother Shan Ji knew that once his brother got angry, no one could stop him, but he still tried to persuade him: "Brother, I talked with Qi Tongwei many times in prison, and I could feel his sincerity. We can't be like the snake in The Farmer and the Snake, blinded by hatred and doing ungrateful things."

Shan Ji Di sneered: "The farmer and the snake? Brother, you are the stupid farmer. Qi Tongwei has been in the officialdom for so many years, how pure can his mind be? Do you think he really just wants to help you? He is thinking about his own career and reputation. And Hou Liangping, he is just a nosy guy, always self-righteously tracking us down, he must pay the price."

Seeing his brother being so stubborn, Brother Shan Ji became more and more anxious: "Brother, you will only put us in deeper trouble. There is no turning back. If you stir up trouble again, you will not only hurt yourself, but also implicate those who care about us." The voices of the two brothers echoed in the small room, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and a fierce quarrel broke out.

"Brother, stop trying to persuade me. I won't watch you being used by them. I must let them know that we are not easy to mess with." Brother Shan Ji clenched his fists, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes. Brother Shan Ji also raised his voice: "Brother, if you dare to mess around, I will not forgive you. We finally have a chance to start over, you can't ruin it."

When the two brothers were deadlocked, Qi Tongwei also noticed something was wrong with Shan Jidi. He knew that if he could not completely resolve the hatred in Shan Jidi's heart, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and the three of them would be caught in the whirlpool of fate again. So he decided to take the initiative to communicate with Shan Jidi again, trying to resolve the knot in his heart.

Qi Tongwei found Shan Jidi and said sincerely: "Brother Shan Ji, I know you still have doubts about me, but I hope you can give me a chance to prove myself. Your brother and I both hope to get rid of the shadow of the past and start over. If you insist on provoking trouble, the final result will only be a lose-lose situation." Shan Jidi looked at Qi Tongwei, and the anger in his heart was ignited again: "Qi Tongwei, stop pretending here. Do you think I will believe you? I have seen a lot of your official tactics."

Hou Liangping watched all this silently from the sidelines. He realized that his previous behavior had indeed caused them a lot of trouble. Although his original intention was to uphold justice, it now seems that his actions were a bit hasty and he did not take into account the complex emotions and background of the parties involved. He began to reflect on his own behavior, and at the same time he was worried that Shan Jidi would take radical actions and cause the situation to get out of control.

During the confrontation between Shan Ji Di and Qi Tongwei, the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Shan Ji Di suddenly pulled out a dagger and pointed it at Qi Tongwei: "Today is your end." Qi Tongwei was shocked, but he remained calm: "Brother Shan Ji, what you are doing is illegal. Do you really want to spend your whole life in darkness?" Seeing this, Brother Shan Ji rushed forward and blocked Qi Tongwei: "Brother, if you want to do anything, kill me first."

Brother Shanji looked at his brother in front of him, hesitating for a moment. The dagger in his hand trembled slightly, and the fierceness and hesitation in his eyes were intertwined. At this critical moment, Hou Liangping rushed to the scene. He shouted loudly: "Brother Shanji, put down the dagger! You will only make things worse." Brother Shanji turned his head to look at Hou Liangping and roared: "Hou Liangping, you came at the right time. None of you can escape today."

Hou Liangping slowly approached Shan Jidi, his eyes firm: "Brother Shan Ji, I know I was wrong before. I shouldn't have easily provoked the relationship between you. But now, I hope you can calm down and we can have a good talk." Shan Jidi sneered: "Talk? What else is there to talk about? You have already decided our fate."

With Hou Liangping's patient persuasion, Shan Jidi's emotions gradually stabilized. He slowly put down the dagger in his hand, but his eyes were still full of vigilance: "Hou Liangping, you'd better tell the truth. If you dare to deceive us again, I will never let you go."
