Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Looking at the three aunties who kept complaining to the residents, Liu Haizhong realized the seriousness of the problem.

Although the three aunts have no evidence to accuse him now.

But Third Aunt is an old woman, and compared with Liu Haizhong, she is naturally at a disadvantage. Now that Yan Jiecheng has been arrested, the residents will definitely stand on the side of Third Aunt.

The development of the incident was just as Liu Haizhong expected. At that time, several residents accused Liu Haizhong of
"Liu Haizhong, you usually look quite honest, how could you do such a wicked thing? If Jie Cheng was really framed by you, you are such a scoundrel."

"That's right. We are all neighbors. If we have any conflicts, we can't just talk it out. You have to push your child into the fire pit. You are too cruel."

The people around him also nodded, and accusatory glances shot into his bangs like sharp arrows, making him feel uneasy.

Liu Haizhong was indeed a smart man. In this tense situation, his eyes moved quickly and he soon came up with what he thought was a brilliant solution. He pulled the worried second aunt standing beside him, dragged her into the house, and quickly closed the door.

As soon as he entered the house, Liu Haizhong couldn't wait to tell the second aunt his thoughts: "My dear, the situation is not good for us now. You have to go out and deal with the third aunt. Don't let her continue to make trouble like this."

When the second aunt heard this, her eyes were filled with astonishment and dissatisfaction. She shook off her hand from her bangs and said, "I won't go! Lao Liu, don't be stubborn anymore. It was you who killed Yan Jiecheng, how can you still want to cover it up? We can't do things against our conscience like this."

Liu Haizhong paced back and forth in the room anxiously: "What do you know! If we don't suppress this matter now, how can we stay in this courtyard in the future? Our reputation will be completely ruined."

The second aunt was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes: "Reputation? Why didn't you think about your reputation when you framed Jie Cheng? Don't you feel bad for the child who is suffering in the security department now? We have to have a bottom line as human beings. I can't help you do such an immoral thing."

Liu Haizhong frowned, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "You have to go even if you don't want to! If this matter gets out of hand, we will all suffer. Don't forget, we still have a big family to support."

Second Aunt knew that once Liu Haizhong's conspiracy was completely exposed and he was arrested, her life would not be easy. This family couldn't live without Liu Haizhong, and once she was involved in such a matter, the strange looks and pointing fingers from people around her would overwhelm her like a tide. She gritted her teeth and finally reluctantly agreed to Liu Haizhong.

The second aunt walked out of the house slowly, and everyone in the yard looked at her. She took a deep breath and walked in front of the third aunt. Seeing the third aunt's tearful face and grief, she felt guilty, but still pretended to be calm and comforted her: "Third aunt, don't worry, it's not good to cry and hurt yourself. We are old neighbors, so we can talk it out."

The third aunt sobbed, her eyes full of anger and despair: "Second aunt, what do you think we should do about this? How could your Lao Liu treat our family like this?"

The second aunt patted the third aunt's shoulder gently, and then slowly said: "Third aunt, you may have really misunderstood. Lao Liu was at home all night last night and didn't go out at all. How could he trick Jie Cheng into doing that kind of thing?"

The residents around them started talking about what the second aunt said. Some looked skeptical, while others seemed to think it made sense. The third aunt widened her eyes and looked at the second aunt: "Are you telling the truth? You can't lie to protect him."

The second aunt's eyes were a little evasive, but she still said with a brave face: "Third aunt, I am so old, how could I lie? How could I not know where Lao Liu is? We can't just wrongly accuse people."

When the third aunt heard what the second aunt said, she was so angry that she trembled all over. She pointed at the second aunt and her voice trembled a little: "Second aunt, we have been old neighbors for so many years. I always thought you were an honest person. I didn't expect that you would lie to me for him now! Tell me honestly, are you telling the truth?"

After being accused by the third aunt, the second aunt's face turned red and white. She opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to say it. She could only stammer: "I... I didn't lie to you, really..." But her panic expression made anyone see that there was something fishy.

Liu Haizhong saw this through the window in the house, and he thought to himself, "Oh no! If this continues, he will definitely be exposed." So he rushed out of the door, walked a few steps to the yard, rushed to the third aunt, pointed at her with an angry face and shouted, "Old Yan, don't go too far! If you don't have evidence, don't slander me here. If you dare to frame me again, I will not be polite. I will send you to the police station now and let the police deal with you for spreading rumors."

The third aunt was frightened by Liu Haizhong's momentum and took a step back, with a trace of panic in her eyes. She knew in her heart that she did not have solid evidence to prove that Liu Haizhong framed Yan Jiecheng. Although Yan Jiecheng said that Liu Haizhong tricked him, he had no evidence. If he went to the police station, he would not be able to defend himself.

The third uncle was also stunned. He never thought that Liu Haizhong would be so determined and wanted to fight to the death. The third uncle frowned and fell into deep thought. He knew very well that although Yan Jiecheng was bewitched by Liu Haizhong, he was weak-willed and followed such a bad idea. He was doing a bad thing by appearing in the lumber mill. If the matter really went to the police station, it would probably become more complicated and more disadvantageous to Yan Jiecheng.

Upon seeing this, the third uncle hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the third aunt, and said to Liu Haizhong with a smile on his face: "Old Liu, this may really be a misunderstanding. Don't take it to heart. Your sister-in-law is just anxious and speaks without restraint." As he said that, he forcefully pulled the third aunt into the house.

Back in the house, the third aunt was so angry that her face turned red. She broke free from the third uncle's hand and shouted angrily: "What misunderstanding? Liu Haizhong is a bad guy. He harmed Jie Cheng and now he wants to threaten me. I will fight him!"

The third uncle quickly comforted him, "Calm down! We don't have any evidence now. What's the point of being so impulsive? It will only make things worse."

The third aunt cried with tears in her eyes: "What about Jie Cheng? He is still suffering in the security department! Are we just going to let it go like this?"

The third uncle frowned and paced back and forth in the room. Suddenly he stopped, as if he had thought of something: "We can find Xu Damao! He is a leader in the factory and has a way. If he hadn't come forward today, we would have had a hard time even seeing Jie Cheng. And he seems to be very concerned about this matter. Maybe he can find a way to get Jie Cheng out of this trouble. We can't fight Liu Haizhong head-on now, we have to think about it carefully." The third aunt wiped her tears, a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "Really? Can Xu Damao really help us?"

The third uncle nodded and said, "We can only count on him at the moment. We have to go and discuss it with him as soon as possible."

Uncle San hurried to Xu Damao's house. As soon as he entered the door, before he could say anything, Xu Damao yelled with a dark face and full of anger: "Uncle San, what's wrong with you? I thought you could handle that Liu Haizhong, but what happened? You are really useless."

The third uncle had a bitter look on his face. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly explained, "Da Mao, this matter is not as simple as you think. Liu Haizhong refused to admit it and even bit back, saying that we framed him. His wife, the second aunt, also helped. Your third aunt and I are really at our wits' end."

Xu Damao snorted coldly: "Humph, with your limited ability, you still want to pry words out of Liu Haizhong's mouth? I was counting on you to find some evidence from him, but now look, you have ruined it all."

The third uncle lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong: "Da Mao, it's my fault. But what can we do now? Jie Cheng is still in the security department. If we don't find a solution, this child will be ruined."

Xu Damao frowned, thinking secretly in his heart. He originally thought of using the Third Uncle to tangle with Liu Haizhong, perhaps he could find evidence in his favor from the chaos and bring down Liu Haizhong in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect the Third Uncle to be so useless. Now it seems that continuing to rely on the Third Uncle not only has no chance of winning, but may also get himself into trouble.

His face darkened, and he looked at the Third Uncle with a look of dissatisfaction and disgust: "Third Uncle, I don't think I can help you with this matter. I was kind-hearted and wanted to help solve the problem, but look at you, you can't even deal with Liu Haizhong, and you made a mess of the matter. I have my own things to do, and I can't waste time on this matter anymore."

When the third uncle heard this, he panicked, "Da Mao, you can't just ignore it! You are the only one who can save Jie Cheng now. If you don't care, his life will be over. I know I didn't do it well this time, but you are magnanimous, please give us another chance."

Xu Damao frowned impatiently, and reached out to pull the third uncle away from his legs and drive him out of the house. At this moment, Qin Jingru came out of the house. When she saw the scene in front of her, she hurried forward to grab Xu Damao and pulled him into the house.

Qin Jingru was kindhearted, and she knew that Third Uncle was desperate. After entering the house, she whispered to Xu Damao, "Da Mao, don't be impulsive. I know you are angry now, but Third Uncle is like this, we can't just ignore him. Think about it, Third Uncle is a senior official in the courtyard, and he has a certain prestige. If we can help him rescue Jie Cheng this time, he will definitely be grateful to us and stand on our side in the future."

Xu Damao snorted in annoyance: "Just him? What use can he be? You saw how pathetic he was today."

Qin Jingru patted Xu Damao's arm gently and said, "Don't say that. Haven't you always wanted to establish your prestige in the hospital and deal with Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai? If the Third Uncle stands on our side, wouldn't it be much easier? The two of them have never been convinced by you. With the Third Uncle's help, it will be easy for us to get things done in the hospital in the future. Moreover, this is also a good opportunity to show everyone that you, Xu Damao, are a capable and righteous person."

After hearing what Qin Jingru said, Xu Damao frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. He felt that what Qin Jingru said made some sense, and this might really be an opportunity to consolidate his position in the hospital.

"This is not a easy matter. Although I met Yan Jiecheng by mentioning Wang Weidong's name, it is not that easy to rescue him. The security department of the timber factory is not a pushover. If they investigate, I might even be implicated."

Qin Jingru looked at Xu Damao's anxious look, her eyes turned, and suddenly she came up with an idea. She walked to Xu Damao and whispered in his ear: "Damo, do you think this will work? We can..."

As Xu Damao listened, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and a happy smile gradually appeared on his face. He hugged Qin Jingru and kissed her on the face: "Oh, Jingru, you are really my lucky star! I'll do as you say. Maybe this time I can really get Yan Jiecheng out, and give that guy Liu Haizhong a good beating."

Qin Jingru smiled proudly: "That's right, just wait and see. But we have to hurry up and not let the night drag on and cause more trouble."

Xu Damao straightened his clothes and walked out of the house with his head held high. Uncle San was still kneeling on the ground, looking at him expectantly. Xu Damao cleared his throat and deliberately said slowly: "Uncle San, I've thought about it. I can help you one more time and find a way to rescue Jie Cheng."

When the third uncle heard this, hope immediately flashed in his eyes. He said excitedly: "Da Mao, is it true? Thank you so much, you are the great benefactor of our Yan family!"

Xu Damao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile: "But, Third Uncle, I can't help you for nothing. I have a condition. From now on in this courtyard, you have to listen to me completely. No matter what happens to me, you have to stand by me and speak for me."

The third uncle hesitated for a moment. He knew what this meant, but for Yan Jiecheng, he gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Okay, Damao, I promise you. As long as you can rescue Jiecheng, I will listen to you in the future."

Xu Damao nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Third Uncle, just wait for my good news. But you must remember what you said today. If you dare to go back on your word, you know the consequences."

After saying that, he turned back to the house and began to prepare a plan to rescue Yan Jiecheng with Qin Jingru. The third uncle breathed a sigh of relief.
The next morning, the sun shone in every corner of the courtyard, and Xu Damao hurried to the timber factory with the third uncle. Along the way, the third uncle looked nervous and expectant, while Xu Damao was confident, as if everything was under his control.

The two soon came to the timber factory security department, and Xu Damao found Section Chief Chen, who was familiar with the place. When Section Chief Chen saw Xu Damao and the third uncle, he showed a hint of surprise. Before he could speak, Xu Damao smiled and said, "Section Chief Chen, we are here to take Yan Jiecheng away."

When Section Chief Chen heard this, he was horrified. He frowned and said, "Xu Damao, are you kidding? This is no joke. I asked you to meet Yan Jiecheng yesterday because of Wang Weidong's favor. Don't push your luck. The case hasn't been investigated yet, how could I let you take the person away?" (End of this chapter)
