Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1204 Chen Fang was arrested

After hearing this, the workshop director shook his head and said, "Well, you really can't go to work in this condition. I'll give you a few days off. You can stay at home and take care of your injuries before coming back to work. Don't let any root cause of illness develop."

Xu Damao quickly said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, Director. I will recover as soon as possible and come back to work well so as not to delay the production progress of our workshop."

As he spoke, Xu Damao took the approved leave note from the workshop director, and after a few brief greetings, he left the office and slowly walked home, dragging his injured body. He was still thinking about why he was beaten for no apparent reason. Who on earth had such a big grudge against him? But no matter how much he thought about it, he really had no clue.

At this time, Xu Damao was limping towards the factory gate. When he looked up inadvertently, he saw Liu Guangtian peeking in a corner not far away, staring at him. There was something unusual about his look.

Xu Damao's heart skipped a beat, and the incident of him beating up Liu Guangtian a while ago flashed through his mind. He immediately became suspicious, wondering if this guy was behind the beating he got for no apparent reason.

Xu Damao was immediately furious and didn't care about his injuries. He rushed towards Liu Guangtian in two steps.

When he got to Liu Guangtian, he suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Liu Guangtian's collar, and pulled it up with force. He glared at him and shouted angrily: "Liu Guangtian, I think it was you who did this! Did you hire someone to beat me up yesterday? Huh?"

Liu Guangtian was frightened by Xu Damao's sudden action, but he quickly calmed down.

But I thought Xu Damao had no evidence to prove that he did it.

So he stiffened his neck, pretended to be calm, and cursed: "Xu Damao, are you sick? What does it have to do with me if you get beaten up? Stop spitting blood here. I haven't settled the score with you yet. I still remember that you bullied me before. And you are so good, now you are blaming me. I think you have been beaten stupid!"

Xu Damao listened to Liu Guangtian's sophistry and looked at his evasive eyes. He was more and more certain that he was the one behind it.

He snorted coldly and said, "Liu Guangtian, stop pretending here. Your guilty look is written all over your face. How dare you say it wasn't you?

I have to teach you a lesson today, so that you can have a taste of being beaten!" As he said this, Xu Damao raised his fist and pretended to hit Liu Guangtian.

Liu Guangtian was terrified when he saw this. He knew that if he was beaten up, he would suffer a great loss. He was quick-witted and shouted at the top of his voice: "Hurry up! The workshop leader beat someone up. Everyone, come and judge the matter!"

When this shout was uttered, the sound echoed in the workshop. The workers around heard the noise, dropped their work and rushed over.

When everyone saw this, Xu Damao grabbed Liu Guangtian by the collar and raised his fist, while Liu Guangtian shouted for help with a terrified face.

He rushed forward quickly and pulled the two people apart.

Just kidding, these days workers are all like-minded, if two of them really fight, it will be bad for the reputation of the workshop.

"Hey, Xu Damao, Liu Guangtian, what are you doing? If you have something to say, why don't you just talk about it in a peaceful way? Why do you have to resort to violence? What kind of talk is this?"

"That's right. We are all colleagues in the factory. We see each other every day. If there is any conflict, we should solve it properly. Fighting here will have a bad impact."

Xu Damao was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. He pointed at Liu Guangtian and said, "Don't pull me. This guy must have something to do with the beating I got yesterday. I have to find out today!"

Liu Guangtian hid behind everyone, breathing heavily.

He pretended to be extremely aggrieved and said, "Everyone has seen it. I didn't do anything. Xu Damao just wanted to beat me without knowing the reason. I am really wronged."

Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, the workshop director got the news and rushed over.

He frowned, looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, and asked loudly: "What's going on? What is going on here?"

When Xu Damao saw the workshop director coming, he seemed to have found his backbone and hurried forward to complain: "Director, you have to make the decision for me! I was beaten so badly after get off work yesterday, and today I saw Liu Guangtian staring at me furtively in the factory.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that he must have hired someone to do this, so I wanted to ask him about it, but he still refused to admit it. You have to investigate him thoroughly!"

When Liu Guangtian heard this, he immediately stuck his head out from behind the crowd and argued anxiously, "Director, please don't listen to his nonsense. I really didn't do anything. Xu Damao just didn't like me and wanted to beat me up for an excuse. I was wronged. You have to see clearly!"

The workshop director frowned even deeper. He actually knew in his heart that Liu Guangtian was not a good person and was always stirring up trouble. But now Xu Damao really didn't have any real evidence. It was not good to convict Liu Guangtian without any basis in evidence.

So the workshop director cleared his throat and said to Xu Damao, "Xu Damao, I know you've been wronged, but you have no evidence. It's not appropriate to act based on speculation. We can't deal with this matter so rashly. You should go back and recuperate first, and come back to work after you've recovered. I'll remember this matter and investigate it slowly in the future. If it's really found out that Liu Guangtian did it, I will definitely not let him off easily. Do you think it's okay?"

Although Xu Damao was still furious, he knew that the workshop director was right. He really had no evidence and it was useless to continue to argue.

I could only nod my head helplessly and said, "Okay, Director, I'll listen to you. I'll go back to recuperate first. You must investigate this matter carefully. You can't let me be beaten for no reason."

The workshop director patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention to it. You can go back and rest."

Then, the workshop director turned to look at Liu Guangtian and warned him seriously: "Liu Guangtian, you better behave yourself. If anything happens to you, you will be in trouble!"

Liu Guangtian nodded and bowed quickly, saying, "Director, don't worry, I am really innocent. I definitely didn't do that."

Xu Damao glared at Liu Guangtian fiercely, then turned around and limped out of the factory, swearing to himself that he must find out who was behind this and not let it go.

Liu Guangtian secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Xu Damao leave, but he was still a little worried, fearing that this matter would be discovered one day, which would be a big trouble.

After work, Liu Guangtian kept thinking about this matter. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had to arrange the follow-up matters as soon as possible and not leave any handle behind.

So, he hurriedly found Liu Guangqi, pulled Liu Guangqi to a corner where no one was around, and said nervously, "Brother, we were almost exposed in the factory today. Xu Damao is now suspicious and will definitely not let it go. We have to act quickly."

Liu Guangqi frowned after hearing this, and realized the seriousness of the situation. He asked, "What should we do next?"

Liu Guangtian thought for a while and said, "I've thought about it. We have to find Chen Fang. He has a lot of ideas and maybe he can come up with some good solutions." After the two of them discussed it, they hurried to find Chen Fang.

After meeting Chen Fang, Liu Guangtian explained the situation. Chen Fang wanted to shirk responsibility at first, after all, if the matter got out of hand, he would be implicated. But he could not resist Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi's soft and hard persuasion, and thought that he had already been involved and could not completely sever his ties, so he had no choice but to agree.

It just so happened that they heard that there would be a movie showing at the Orchid Automobile Factory tomorrow. By then, all the workers in the factory would definitely go to watch the movie. It was estimated that there would not be many people left in the factory, so they could take the opportunity to sneak in. The three of them gathered together and discussed a specific action plan, such as how to avoid the guards at the door, where to start looking for what they wanted after entering, etc.

After some discussion, they felt that the plan was sound, so they agreed to meet tomorrow night and act according to the plan.

The next night, the night was as dark as ink and all around was quiet. Only the occasional chirping of insects seemed particularly clear in the silence.

As agreed, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangqi and Chen Fang met outside the Orchid Automobile Factory.

The three of them looked a little nervous. After all, this was a sneaky thing and it would be terrible if they were discovered.

Chen Fang first looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he crouched down and tiptoed towards the factory wall.

When he reached the wall, he was quite agile and climbed over the wall in a few steps, then threw out a thick rope that had been prepared long ago.

Seeing this, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi hurriedly grabbed the rope and carefully climbed in along the courtyard wall.

After entering the factory, the three of them tiptoed, not daring to breathe. They looked around vigilantly and moved towards the laboratory step by step.

It was said that there were important things they wanted in that laboratory. As long as they could get them, they felt that they could completely solve the trouble with Xu Damao. So even though they were afraid, they still moved forward.

But before they got close to the laboratory, suddenly, a beam of flashlight shone straight at them, and then they heard a loud shout: "Stop! What are you doing?" It turned out that the security officer Xiao Zhao was patrolling here and discovered their furtive figures.

Xiao Zhao walked up to the three people with a serious face, stopped them, looked them up and down, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "There is a movie showing in the factory today, and everyone went to watch the movie. Why didn't you go? What are you trying to do by sneaking around here?"

Chen Fang was frightened by this sudden scene and his face turned pale. His heart skipped a beat and his mind raced, thinking about how to get away with it.

In a panic, he stammered, "Zhao...Zhao, it's...it's like this, Engineer Zhou...Engineer Zhou asked me to send him some materials tonight, so we hurried over here, fearing that we would delay Engineer Zhou's work."

Xiao Zhao frowned, obviously not believing what he said, and asked again: "Delivering materials? Why are you delivering them so late at night? What were you doing during the day? And the way you guys are sneaking around doesn't seem right."

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi were so nervous that their palms were sweating. They dared not even breathe. They hoped that Chen Fang could smooth over the matter. However, they knew in their hearts that it would not be so easy to fool Xiao Zhao with this lie.

For a moment, the atmosphere was so tense that they could seem to hear each other's heartbeats. The three of them were secretly groaning in their hearts, not knowing how to deal with what was going to happen next.

Xiao Zhao had a serious face, and was not moved at all by Chen Fang's seemingly reasonable but actually full of loopholes explanation. He said in a tough tone: "Stop fooling me here. No matter whether what you said is true or not, you must come with me to the security department to accept the investigation and clarify the matter first."

When the three heard this, they secretly groaned inwardly, but there was really no other way at the moment. They could only bite the bullet and follow Xiao Zhao towards the direction of the Security Department.

Along the way, they were thinking about how to get out. After all, if they were really taken to the Security Department and investigated thoroughly, then all the things they had done would be exposed, and they would be in big trouble.

When they reached a corner, Liu Guangtian took advantage of Xiao Zhao's inattention and gave a wink to Liu Guangqi and Chen Fang. The three of them immediately understood what he meant and turned around and ran away.

The speed was as if there was a ferocious beast chasing him from behind.

Xiao Zhao was stunned at first, then he reacted and realized that he had met a bad guy with bad intentions. He started to chase after him, shouting at the top of his voice: "Stop! Don't run!" The shouting echoed in the silent factory area and was particularly loud.

But Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi were usually quite agile, and they ran for their lives at this moment, and soon reached the courtyard wall.

The two men didn't care about anything else. They used their hands and feet to climb up to the top of the wall in a few steps, turned over and were about to jump out of the wall.

But Chen Fang was not so lucky. He was too panicked when he was running and accidentally sprained his ankle. He fell to the ground with a cry of "Ouch".

Xiao Zhao was quick-witted and caught up with them in a few steps. He grabbed Chen Fang and held his arm tightly, shouting, "Run! I'll see where you can run to! What the hell are you trying to do? Tell me the truth!"

Chen Fang was caught red-handed. He was so frightened that his face turned pale. He knew that he was finished, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope. He stammered, "Zhao...Zhao, I really...really didn't do anything bad. I just...I was anxious to go back to the movies. I was afraid...I was afraid I would miss it. Please...please let me go."

Xiao Zhao didn't believe his words and snorted coldly, "Humph, you're still stubborn now. I'll interrogate you in the security department and see if you still tell the truth!" Then he took Chen Fang to the security department.

Xiao Zhao escorted Chen Fang and hurried back to the security department.

As soon as he entered the security department's door, he walked straight to the detention room.

He opened the door and pushed Chen Fang in with force, then slammed the door shut and locked it. He said to Chen Fang in a serious tone, "Just stay here. You will have your say later."
