Niu Er scratched his head, not quite clear about this himself.
Back then, he did bump into Director Zhao, and the next day, he heard about the missing steel.
It was around that time Director Zhao approached him, saying that if anyone found out he was also at the factory that night, he'd be implicated in the missing steel incident.
Terrified, Niu Er was easily bribed with five yuan to claim that the person stealing steel had colluded with Su Wenbing.
Normally, Niu Er didn't get along with Su Wenbing, who was upright and honest, often reporting Niu Er's laziness and trickery to the leadership, causing him to get scolded and have his wages docked.
Such a good chance for revenge couldn't be missed, so he agreed immediately.
Not only could he drive Su Wenbing out of the factory, but he'd also get paid; only a fool wouldn't do it!
