Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

"Jingru, you may not know this, but I'm really good!"

"If it weren't for me, Liu Changyi would never have been able to catch Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi!"

At the Xu family, Xu Damao showed off to Qin Jingru as soon as he got home.

At this moment, an angry roar suddenly came from outside the house: "Xu Damao, you thief, get out here!"

When Xu Damao heard the voice, his face changed instantly and his brows knitted tightly together. He turned his head to look outside the door, muttering, "Who is so bold!" and then walked out of the house angrily.

As soon as he went out, he saw Liu Haizhong standing in the yard, his eyes red, staring at him fiercely like an angry bull.

Xu Damao was immediately enraged, pointing his finger at Liu Haizhong and shouting angrily, "Liu Haizhong, what are you doing? You came to my house to cause trouble, are you looking for trouble?"

Liu Haizhong took a step forward, pointed his finger at Xu Damao's nose, and cursed: "You damn Xu Damao, you arrested my two sons, I will never let you go! What did my children do wrong that you have to mess with them? You wicked thing!"

When Xu Damao heard this, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he sneered, straightened his back, and said disdainfully: "What mistakes have they made?

They stole factory secrets, which is illegal! I am helping the security department catch the bad guys, which is a just act! You still have the nerve to come and question me, and don’t you even look at the good things your son has done! "

The quarrel between the two became more and more intense, and the high-decibel shouting instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding residents.

Everyone poked their heads out of their houses, and then gathered around, surrounding Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong.

Yi Zhonghai had heard about this matter a long time ago, and was thinking about when to find an opportunity to come forward and show off his power as the "manager" in front of the compound.

As soon as he saw Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao arguing fiercely, he immediately felt that the opportunity had come and hurried forward.

Yi Zhonghai stood between the two of them, pretending to be serious, and said to Xu Damao: "Damo, even if Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi made mistakes, they are still our neighbors who we see every day in our compound.

You, on the other hand, need to have some neighborly camaraderie, and not just think about your own achievements without considering the relationships among everyone else and uniting with the residents."

As he spoke, he shook his head slightly. The fake concern on his face made anyone with a discerning eye feel sick.

Xu Damao was already furious at Liu Haizhong's scolding, and now hearing Yi Zhonghai pretending to be a good guy here, his anger suddenly soared even higher.

He glared at Yi Zhonghai, pointed at his nose without any hesitation, and shouted angrily: "Yi Zhonghai, stop pretending to be a moral gentleman here! Everyone knows what kind of moral character you are. Haven't you also been to prison? What qualifications do you have to lecture me here and say these high-sounding words!"

These words were like a sharp blade, piercing straight into Yi Zhonghai's heart.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale instantly, his lips trembled with anger, and he swayed a few times, almost fainting. He pointed at Xu Damao and said in a trembling voice: "You...you...how can you talk to your elders like this!"

When the surrounding residents saw this, some could not help but reveal expressions of gloating, while others were talking in low voices.

Xu Damao had no intention of stopping and continued to shout: "Don't think you can fool everyone just because you pretend to be a good person! Everyone knows your deeds!"

What is meant by murder and heart-crushing? This is it.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was so angry at Xu Damao that his face turned pale and he was about to collapse, the aunt was afraid that something bad would happen to him, so she rushed forward and pulled Yi Zhonghai away, muttering, "Zhonghai, don't get angry with him, it's not worth it."

After Yi Zhonghai was pulled away, he was still gasping for breath, staring at Xu Damao with eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

When Liu Haizhong saw Yi Zhonghai being dragged away, his momentum suddenly weakened a bit, and he knew in his heart that he was indeed wrong in this matter.

But he was unwilling to give up, after all, his two sons were still in prison, so he stiffened his neck and said to Xu Damao: "Xu Damao, as long as you can ask Wang Weidong to release my sons, I will forgive you for the bad things you did before."

When Xu Damao heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter as if he had heard a huge joke. After his laughter stopped abruptly, he angrily shouted with disdain: "Liu Haizhong, you are so imaginative, what a joke!

What your son did was steal factory secrets, which is a crime!

Do you think that you can solve it by asking for mercy? Why should I help you if you don't consider yourself?

Stop dreaming about your future here!"

At this moment, someone in the crowd whispered, "This Liu Haizhong is the same. His own son made a mistake, and he expects others to clean up the mess."

Although the words were not spoken loudly, they were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a wave of echoes from the people around.

Liu Haizhong was so angry at Xu Damao that his rationality was instantly swallowed up by anger.

His eyes were red, and he shouted loudly, raised his fist as big as a casserole, and punched at Xu Damao with all his strength. This punch was filled with anger, and rushed towards Xu Damao.

Xu Damao saw that the situation was not good, and his face turned pale.

He knew in his heart that he was no match for Liu Haizhong, so he dared not take the punch head-on. He instinctively twisted his body and ran away like a frightened rabbit.

Liu Haizhong refused to give up and kept chasing after him, cursing. His fat body was running very fast, and his footsteps made a thumping sound on the ground.

The two of them were chasing each other in the courtyard, knocking the clothes hanging in the yard into pieces, and several of the third uncle's flower pots were kicked over. The originally peaceful courtyard was instantly turned into a mess.

Just in this chaos, Qin Jingru heard the noise and rushed out of the house.

She saw at a glance that Liu Haizhong was chasing Xu Damao like crazy, and the yard was in a mess.

Qin Jingru was furious and anxious. She put her hands on her hips and shouted at the top of her voice: "Liu Haizhong, if you don't stop, I will report to Wang Weidong immediately and let him know that you are making trouble here!"

When Liu Haizhong heard the three words "Wang Weidong", he was like he was cast under a spell and froze in place instantly.

His fist was still raised high, but he could no longer lower it.

The fierce momentum just now disappeared without a trace

Liu Haizhong panted heavily, glared at Xu Damao fiercely, slowly put down his fist, and muttered: "You are lucky."

After saying that, Liu Haizhong went home angrily.

Xu Damao hid aside, patted his chest, and retorted with lingering fear: "You old thing, you just bully me, come on if you have the guts!" Qin Jingru rolled her eyes at him: "Okay, Xu Damao, if you make trouble again, I'll leave."

Hearing this, Xu Damao was startled and quickly shut his mouth.

Liu Haizhong returned home, kicked the door open with a bang, and walked straight to the table like an angry bull, grabbing the bottle of wine.

Without caring about any etiquette, he poured wine directly into the glass, one cup, two cups, three cups... he poured several cups, then picked up one cup, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

He drank the wine in big gulps while cursing: "Xu Damao, that bastard, must die a miserable death! And that Wang Weidong, he pretends to be so righteous, but he is just the same kind of bastard..."

He was cursing so hard that he slammed the table so hard that the dishes and chopsticks on the table shook.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Knock knock knock," the sound is neither fast nor slow.

The second aunt was sitting nearby wiping her tears. When she heard the voice, she quickly stood up, wiped the tears from her face with her sleeves, and opened the door. Standing outside the door was Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai had a serious face, holding an enamel pot in his hand. When he saw the door open, he nodded slightly and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm here to see Lao Liu."

The second aunt stepped aside to let Yi Zhonghai in, sighed and said, "Alas, he's in there, and he's having a bad temper."

Yi Zhonghai walked into the room and saw Liu Haizhong sitting at the table. He had already finished half a bottle of wine and was still cursing.

He walked forward, put the enamel pot on the table, pulled over a chair and sat down, looked at Liu Haizhong and said, "Old Liu, calm down. It's not worth it to get sick from anger."

"Yi Zhonghai, you poor bastard, are you trying to laugh at me?"

"you…."

Yi Zhonghai was so angry at this sudden insult that his face turned blue, veins bulged on his forehead, and he almost had a fit on the spot.

But he suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit today, and he suppressed his anger. He gritted his teeth and decided not to bother with the drunkard Liu Haizhong.

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound calmer: "Old Liu, I'm not here to get angry with you today. I really have a way to save Guangtian and Guangqi."

"Humph, what can you do?" Liu Haizhong sneered disdainfully, "Back then you couldn't even save yourself and ended up in jail. Now you're saying you can save my son. Do you think I'll believe you?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head helplessly and explained: "Old Liu, the situation was different back then. At that time, I was firmly controlled by Wang Weidong and had no chance to use my connections to find a way out.

But don't forget that before the deaf old lady died, she gave all her connections to me.

These connections may come in handy now to rescue the children."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes, which were originally full of sarcasm, and he was also a bit doubtful.

He stared at Yi Zhonghai for a long time, as if judging whether what he said was true or not.

After a while, Liu Haizhong seemed to be persuaded and his tone softened a little: "Are you serious? Don't lie to me about this. If you dare to play tricks on me, I will never let you go!"

Yi Zhonghai felt very unhappy when he saw Liu Haizhong's half-believing, half-doubting and threatening look.

Realizing that he was in a passive position in this conversation, his face turned cold and his tone became stiff: "Since you don't believe me, I don't want to get involved in this matter. I wanted to help you because we have been neighbors for many years, but you are so ungrateful. Well, just pretend I have never been here."

As he said this, Yi Zhonghai stood up suddenly and made a move to leave. He thought to himself that he had to do something powerful to Liu Haizhong, otherwise this old man would not know how important he was.

Liu Haizhong was very anxious now, and the hesitation in his heart was instantly swept away by fear and anxiety.

He no longer cared about his previous tough attitude, and took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed Yi Zhonghai's arm, and the anxiety on his face could no longer be hidden: "Old Yi, Old Yi, you can't leave! I was so anxious just now that I lost control of my mouth. Don't bother with me.

I believe you, I really believe you! You must save my two sons!"

Yi Zhonghai was pulled by Liu Haizhong, but he did not respond immediately. He deliberately put on a stern face and remained in a stalemate for a while.

He wanted Liu Haizhong to understand that he was not someone who could be summoned and dismissed at will.

After a long while, Yi Zhonghai said slowly: "Old Liu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but your attitude really makes me feel disappointed. We are all from the same courtyard, and I wanted to help if I could, but you..."

Liu Haizhong nodded repeatedly, and almost bowed to Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. You are a magnanimous person, so don't bother with me. As long as you can rescue my son, I, Liu Haizhong, will definitely listen to you in the future, whatever you say is what I mean!"

Seeing that the time had come, Yi Zhonghai showed a barely perceptible smugness on his face, and then pretended to be serious and said: "Old Liu, you also know that the people I'm looking for are not ordinary people, they are all well-known and influential people. It costs money to smooth the relationship and make arrangements, at least 500 yuan."

When Liu Haizhong heard this number, he was shocked. His eyes widened, his face full of fear and helplessness: "Lao Yi, five hundred yuan? How can I have so much money? You also know my family's situation. This is going to cost me my life!"

As he said this, he tightly grasped Yi Zhonghai's hand again, almost begging: "Old Yi, can you give me less or take it a little slower? I really can't afford so much!"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and put on an awkward look, but his tone was very firm: "Old Liu, this won't do! The big shot I'm looking for is usually arrogant and won't help others easily. If it weren't for your face this time, I wouldn't be able to ask for this. This 500 yuan is the lowest I can give you because of our many years of friendship. You can't pay a penny less."

Liu Haizhong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead, and he muttered, "What should I do? What should I do..."

Yi Zhonghai paused for a moment, pretending to think, and then said, "How about this, for the sake of our long-term neighbors, I can't just watch you get into trouble. You pay half first, which is 250 yuan, and you can find a way to get the rest for me after the children come out. How about that?"

Liu Haizhong hesitated. Two hundred and fifty yuan was not a small amount of money for him. But when he thought of his son who was still in there, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Lao Yi, I believe you this time! But you must do what you say and rescue my son!"

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This Liu Haizhong is really a fool.

However, Yi Zhonghai did not intentionally deceive Liu Haizhong. He did have connections, but whether they could be of any use was another matter.
