Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1205: Zhou Xiao'e's Big Mouth

Chen Fang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot in the detention room. He kept pacing back and forth in the small space, feeling extremely regretful.

Thinking that this was a big mistake, I didn't know what consequences I would face next.

Xiao Zhao didn't pay any more attention to Chen Fang. He turned around and walked quickly out of the security department, ready to find the security chief Liu Changyi to report the situation.

Outside the factory at this time, an open-air movie was being shown lively. The workers gathered together, watching with great interest, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.

As for Liu Changyi, he was currently watching a movie with Wang Weidong.

Wang Weidong was a well-known figure in the factory. Liu Changyi had a good relationship with him. It was rare for the factory to show a movie.

The two of them sat together, watching the movie and chatting in low voices about things in the factory.

Xiao Zhao searched in the crowd for a long time before he saw Liu Changyi and Wang Weidong.

He quickly pushed through the crowd, walked quickly to Liu Changyi, leaned down, leaned close to Liu Changyi's ear, and said in a low voice: "Chief, something happened. I just caught a sneaky guy while I was on patrol, and two of his accomplices ran away. I locked the one I caught in the security department's detention room. You see, this matter needs to be dealt with quickly."

When Liu Changyi heard this, his face suddenly became serious, and his originally relaxed expression disappeared.

He stood up and said to Wang Weidong, "Weidong, something happened in the factory. I have to go and deal with it. You just watch first."

Wang Weidong was a little surprised, but he also knew that the factory's affairs were important, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then go quickly. If you need any help, just let me know."

Liu Changyi responded and followed Xiao Zhao hurriedly towards the security department.

Along the way, he asked Xiao Zhao in detail about what happened, wondering what kind of bad things this captured man wanted to do in the middle of the night. He had to investigate thoroughly.

Liu Changyi came to the detention room with a serious expression, opened the slightly heavy iron door, and walked in.

The light in the room was a little dim. Chen Fangzheng was sitting in the corner nervously. When he saw Liu Changyi come in, his heart skipped a beat and he became even more nervous.

Liu Changyi pulled a chair over and sat down in front of Chen Fang. He stared at him sharply and said in a serious tone, "Tell me, what on earth were you trying to do sneaking around the factory late at night? And what about those two accomplices? Don't try to fool me. Telling the truth is in your best interest."

Chen Fang was calculating quickly in his mind. He knew that if he told others about stealing the core blueprints, it would be the end of him. He would definitely go to jail and probably spend the rest of his life in jail.

So you can't let go no matter what.

So he swallowed his saliva, pretended to be innocent, and stammered, "Chief, I... I really didn't do anything bad. It's just that my two friends came from other places and heard that our Lanhua Automobile Factory is very powerful, so they wanted to visit it.

I thought since there was a movie showing in the factory today and there were few people around, I would bring them in to watch it, but I didn’t expect that your people would find out. That’s really what happened. I didn’t have any bad intentions.”

When Liu Changyi heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he obviously didn't believe it. He snorted coldly and said, "Humph, visit? How can you sneak in to visit in the middle of the night?

Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid who's so easy to fool? Who are your two friends? What are their names? Where are they from? Tell me everything clearly. "

Chen Fang secretly groaned inwardly, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and continued to make up lies: "Chief, they... they are my friends from my hometown, one is called... Li Gang

One of them is called Wang Qiang. He is an honest farmer. He came to the city to do some business and came to see me. He wanted to broaden his horizons in the factory.

I had good intentions and wanted to satisfy their wishes. I never thought it would turn out like this. You must believe me."

Liu Changyi stood up and paced back and forth in the detention room, examining Chen Fang's expression as he walked, thinking that this guy must not be telling the truth.

But there was no solid evidence to expose him at the moment, so it seemed that he had to investigate further. He stopped, looked at Chen Fang and said, "I can't just take your one-sided words for what you said. I'll go and verify it later. If I find out that you're lying, you'll be in trouble. Just wait."

Chen Fang became even more frightened when he heard this, but he could only hold on, nodding his head and saying, "Chief, please go and verify it. What I said is true. I definitely didn't lie to you."

Liu Changyi ignored Chen Fang and walked out of the detention room.

On the other side, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi jumped down from the wall and ran as fast as they could, as if there were wolves chasing them. They didn't dare to stop for a moment, and ran for four or five miles in one breath until they couldn't run any more, and then they stopped panting.

At this moment, there was silence all around, with only their heavy breathing echoing in the night.

Liu Guangtian supported his knees with his hands, gasping for breath, his face full of annoyance. He complained while panting: "Oh, I am so unlucky today! I thought I could get things done smoothly, but who knew that a security officer would show up halfway, and now Chen Fang has been caught. I don't know if he will betray us. If he is found out, we will be finished!"

As for Liu Guangqi, although he was also very tired, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, he was secretly glad in his heart.

He straightened up, patted his chest and said, "Hey, brother, we have escaped after all, we are lucky. Don't complain, the most important thing now is to think about what to do next. If Chen Fang can't stand it and confesses everything about us, it will be a big trouble."

Liu Guangtian frowned after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he lowered his voice and said, "Guangqi, I think we can start with Zhou Xiao'e. Think about it, she is also involved in this matter. If Chen Fang really confessed everything, Zhou Xiao'e would also be arrested. She definitely doesn't want to see such a result. We have to go to her and discuss it quickly."

When Liu Guangqi heard this, he thought it made sense and nodded quickly, saying, "Yes, how could I forget about her? Let's go and find Zhou Xiao'e now." So, the two of them did not dare to delay at all and hurriedly walked towards Zhou Xiao'e's house.

Along the way, both of them were feeling very nervous. They were worried that Chen Fang had exposed the matter, and they were also hoping that Zhou Xiao'e could come up with a good way to deal with this tricky situation.

At this time, Zhou Xiao'e was anxiously waiting for the hundred yuan at home.

She paced back and forth in the room, looking towards the door from time to time, wondering why the money that Liu Guangtian and others promised to give her had not yet been delivered, hoping that they were trying to cheat and not pay her.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a knock on the door. Zhou Xiao'e hurried to open the door. When she saw that it was Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi, her face lit up with joy at first. But before she could say anything, Liu Guangtian hurriedly entered the room and closed the door.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiao'e immediately stretched out her hand and said, "Liu Guangtian, you are finally here. Where is my hundred yuan? Give it to me quickly."

Liu Guangtian ignored her request for money and said seriously, "Zhou Xiao'e, something big has happened. We went to the Lanhua Automobile Factory tonight and were almost caught by the security department. Chen Fang has been arrested now. This is a big problem."

When Zhou Xiao'e heard this, her eyes widened in surprise. Her mouth opened wide. It took her a while to come to her senses. She said in disbelief, "What? Chen Fang was arrested? This... How could this happen? Didn't you say it was foolproof? What should we do now?"

Liu Guangtian shook his head helplessly and said, "We didn't expect this. Everything was going smoothly, but who knew that a security officer would show up halfway. Now it depends on whether Chen Fang can hold on. If he confesses everything about us, we will all be finished, and you can't escape either. So we have to think of a solution quickly."

When Zhou Xiao'e heard this, she flew into a rage. She stood up from her chair with a flushed face. She pointed at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi and started to curse: "You two are really mean! When something happened, you just ran back and left Chen Fang alone. If he can't stand it, we will all suffer. How could you do such a wicked thing? You all seem to be very righteous at other times, but you are all cowards at the critical moment!"

Liu Guangtian quickly explained: "Zhou Xiao'e, don't get angry yet. We had no other options under the circumstances. If we didn't run away and were caught by the security department, we would have no other options. Now we have to find a way to save Chen Fang. What's the point of just scolding us here?"

Zhou Xiao'e didn't listen to his explanation at all, and continued to curse angrily: "Humph, there is no way? I think you are just selfish, thinking only of your own lives, and don't care about Chen Fang's life or death. Chen Fang is such an honest child, and now he has been arrested, who knows how much suffering he will suffer in there, and you are so shameless that you have the nerve to come to me and talk about this. I was really blind to get involved with you."

Liu Guangqi was also a little anxious. He said with a smile: "Zhou Xiao'e, calm down, calm down. We know we were wrong, but now things have come to this. It's useless for us to complain. The most urgent thing is to find a way to get Chen Fang out, or to stop him from telling others about our affairs. You are so angry, but you can't think of any good ideas, right?"

After hearing this, Zhou Xiao'e was still angry, but after thinking about it, she felt that it made sense and her anger subsided a little.

But she was a simple-minded person who only cared about making money. After a moment's thought, she immediately came up with other ideas.

She crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, looked at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi and said, "Humph, it's easy for you to say it. If you want Chen Fang not to tell others about it, it will take a lot of effort. I can't worry about it in vain. Now Chen Fang has been arrested.

This is a complete mess, and I'm really upset. You have to compensate me. How about this, you give me 500 yuan and I'll help you find a solution."

When Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi heard this, their eyes widened. Liu Guangtian said in disbelief, "Five hundred yuan? Zhou Xiao'e, you are just taking advantage of the situation. We don't have that much money. You are asking for too much!"

Zhou Xiao'e didn't take it seriously. She pouted and said, "Oh, how am I taking advantage of someone's misfortune? Think about it, if Chen Fang confesses everything, we'll all be finished. By then, let alone 500 yuan, you won't even have anywhere to spend the money to avoid disaster. Now I'm trying to help you find a solution. 500 yuan is a good deal to buy peace of mind. Think about it yourself."

Liu Guangqi frowned tightly and said with a bitter face: "Zhou Xiao'e, we really don't have that much money. You know our situation. We usually earn that little salary. After deducting food and drink, there is not much left. Five hundred yuan is an astronomical figure for us. Please don't make it difficult for us. Let's think of other ways together."

Zhou Xiao'e was not willing to give in. She snorted coldly, "Hmph, no money? That won't do. I don't care whether you have money or not. Anyway, this matter cannot be solved without 500 yuan. If you are reluctant to part with the money, then once Chen Fang explains everything, we will just wait for jail time. Don't blame me for not reminding you then."

When Liu Guangtian heard this, he immediately got angry. His face darkened, and he took a step forward, staring at Zhou Xiao'e, and said in a low voice with full threat, "Zhou Xiao'e, don't go too far. Do you think you are the only one who is smart and only wants to extort money from us?

Think about it carefully. If this matter really gets out of hand and we are arrested, can you get away with it? If you hadn't been the middleman, would we have gotten involved in this matter? If that really happens, you will have to go to jail with us, so don't think you can stay out of it."

Zhou Xiao'e originally looked righteous, but when she heard what Liu Guangtian said, she suddenly panicked. The arrogance on her face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a look of fear.

She knew very well that what Liu Guangtian said was true. She had brought them together for the sake of some benefits, hoping to make some money from it, but she didn't expect things to turn out like this. If she was really investigated, she would be held accountable.

Her voice trembled unconsciously, and she stammered, "Liu...Liu Guangtian, you...please don't scare me. I...I'm just anxious. I want...I want everyone to quickly resolve this matter. I...I didn't say I must have the 500 yuan. We...we can discuss it again."

Seeing this, Liu Guangqi also took the opportunity to say, "Zhou Xiao'e, we are now on the same boat, and we must work together to find a way to deal with this matter. If you bring up the money at this time, you will push everyone into the fire pit. Let's stabilize Chen Fang first and don't let him tell anyone about it. We can talk about the rest later. Don't be confused anymore."

This stupid woman wants to fight with me?!
