Siheyuan: A master brewer starts with a jar of bone-strengthening wine!

Deputy Factory Director Li stormed up to Liu Dong, his face ashen. "Who told you to touch the projector? Do you even know how you broke it?"

Liu Dong was stunned, standing there with his mouth open but unable to speak.

what's going on?

I touched that broken machine?

He suddenly looked at Xu Fugui.

The other person's eyes darted around, avoiding eye contact.

Understood!

That bastard broke the machine himself, and then turned around and tried to pin the blame on me!

Damn, it's another show!

Liu Dong had seen this kind of scene countless times in his previous life, having spent every day watching short videos.

he knows--

The more you explain, the more confused you become; the more you cry injustice, the more like a thief you seem.

It cannot be acknowledged, nor can it be argued.

The only way out: muddy the waters and force him to expose his secret.

"Director Li..." He scratched his head, looking bewildered. "I don't quite understand what you mean. This is my first day at work, I haven't even touched a machine yet, how does it have anything to do with me?"

Xu Fugui felt uneasy, fearing criticism, so he decided to strike first and went to Deputy Factory Director Li to shift the blame for the broken projector onto Liu Dong.

"It's not my fault! You helped me move the machine!"

"If you hadn't gotten involved, none of this trouble would have happened."

He had a pretty good plan: since no one else saw it, and the two of them each had their own version of events, in the end neither could clear their name, and the leader would most likely just give both sides a warning and let it go. At worst, he'd get scolded himself, which was better than him taking the blame alone.

Actually, he felt quite embarrassed and secretly thought that after work, he would apologize to Liu Dong in private and explain why he did it.

But who would have thought that Liu Dong wouldn't buy it at all? Not only did he deny the damage, but he also directly denied helping to move the projector!

They were indeed the only two present when the move happened; Yu Liansheng wasn't there either, and no one else knew anything. Now, Xu Fugui can't even find anyone to testify.

"You're talking nonsense! Liu Dong, are you blatantly lying?" Xu Fugui's face twitched with anger. "You clearly carried it down yourself, and you dare to deny it?"

"Deputy Factory Director Li, listen to me!" Xu Fugui quickly interjected, as if to claim credit. "At noon, I saw that Xiao Liu was idle, so I asked him to lend a hand. He agreed so readily, and he helped me carry everything down inside and out!"

"He must have bumped into something and damaged it while moving it!"

The shouts were deafening, especially from Xu Fugui, who was very emotional, which immediately attracted a large crowd of workers.

It's only just past lunchtime, and we don't start work until 2 PM. Plus, there's a movie showing at 4 PM, so many people didn't even go into the workshop; they all crowded here to watch the excitement.

"That's not true!" Liu Dong retorted stubbornly. "Deputy Factory Director Li, I didn't help him, nor did I touch that projector!"

"Besides, isn't it stipulated that such valuable equipment should be managed by a designated person? He's the projectionist, why should I, an outsider, have to move it?" Liu Dong's words hit the nail on the head.

"That's right!" Deputy Factory Director Li immediately turned to stare at Xu Fugui, "Old Xu, how can you let anyone touch things that are under your special care?"

Xu Fugui's face immediately darkened.

That's it, I'm in a dilemma.

If it really was Liu Dong who moved it—then you yourself led the way in violating the rules and breaking the regulations;

If you say you moved it yourself—then how can you blame someone else for the machine breaking?

"You...you...you..." He pointed at Liu Dong, his whole body trembling like a leaf. "It was you! You're the one who did it! You won't admit it? You're shameless! Liu Dong, I'm not finished with you!"

At this moment, Lao Jia and Yi Zhonghai also strolled over.

Seeing that Liu Dong had gotten into trouble, the two of them couldn't wait to kick him while he was down.

Old Jia shook his head and said, "Deputy Factory Director Li, I don't know about this matter, but Liu Dong is a kid from our compound. He's never been honest since he was little, always talking nonsense. Don't trust him!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yi Zhonghai quickly nodded in agreement. "Never take what these kinds of people say seriously!"

In an instant, countless eyes turned to Liu Dong.

The situation suddenly became extremely unfavorable for him.

"Deputy Factory Director Li!" Liu Dong stepped forward, his voice clear and loud. "I know it's no use saying anything now, but I have to make this clear today—if I really did break this projector, may I, Liu Dong, be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

"Fine!" Xu Fugui immediately chimed in, "If I did it, I'd be cursed by heaven too!"

Back in his office, the first thing Liu Dong did was grab a pen and paper and write his name.

Xu Fugui!

Address: Backyard of a courtyard house at No. 7, Luogu Lane, South of Beijing.

wow——

The crumpled paper, stained with the cursed wine, was ignited by a spark, and flames shot up.

At the same time, he silently prayed, "System, can you please have God strike Xu Fugui dead?"

This cursed wine is only effective against those with malicious intent.

Xu Fugui didn't hate him at first, but now? His hatred has reached its maximum.

Six small axes flashed into my mind—perfect!

You've walked right into the line of fire, don't blame me for sending you to your death!

Over at the square, Deputy Factory Director Li, too lazy to deal with this messy situation any longer, frowned and waved his hand at Xu Fugui:

"Old Xu, take another look. Is it still fixable? If it's completely ruined, today's movie will have to be canceled."

"Hey, let me check again!"

Xu Fugui squatted back down next to the machine and started fiddling with it again.

"Let's disperse!" The crowd began to move away.

But at that moment—at this very instant—whoosh—smash!

The sun was shining brightly overhead, and not a single cloud could be seen, when suddenly two muffled claps of thunder rang out. What was going on?

Everyone was stunned and looked up at the sky in unison.

There was nothing in the sky, just blue skies, white clouds, and a clear day. How could it suddenly start thundering?

That's really weird.

"Ouch..." Liu Haizhong muttered, scratching his head, "Did someone just make a vow, and God heard it and came to echo it?"

"Nonsense!" Deputy Factory Director Li immediately glared. "Don't spread superstitions here! What kind of behavior is this!"

Before the words had even finished—

boom!!!

A bolt of lightning struck directly down from the sky, bright and fast, as if it had eyes.

Clap!

The same scene unfolded once again: everyone clearly saw a bolt of lightning, as thin as a chopstick, appear out of thin air and strike Xu Fugui squarely on the forehead!

With a sizzle, he shuddered, and his 200-pound body seemed to have been drained of its strength, collapsing to the ground with a thud.

The entire audience was stunned.

He was just saying he hadn't done anything wrong, and then lightning struck him? And of all people, it was him who got struck?

This is outrageous!

Everyone was stunned, their mouths agape.

The lightning looked scary, but it wasn't actually that powerful. Xu Fugui shook his head, got up, and muttered, "Pure coincidence...it really is a coincidence..."

Before he could finish speaking—

Click!

Another bolt of lightning struck, this time aimed straight for his head!

This almost scared the soul out of him.

It doesn't hurt that much, but to be targeted and attacked repeatedly like this is unbearable for anyone, it's too embarrassing!

"I...I really didn't..."

He took off running, turning around and dashing more than ten meters away.

result--

boom!!!

The third bolt of lightning followed immediately, striking him squarely on the head.

Everyone was stunned.
