Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1216: Big Liar Yi Zhonghai

Deputy Director Ma is the former deputy director of the subdistrict office.

How old?

Before liberation, Deputy Director Ma was already the head of the sub-district office in Nantongluo Lane. Of course, the sub-district office at that time could not be called a sub-district office.

After liberation, most of the people in the street office were laid off, but Deputy Director Ma, contrary to everyone's expectations, stayed in the street office and continued to serve as deputy director.

This is closely related to the deaf old lady.

Thinking of these past events, Deputy Director Ma couldn't help but sigh. He looked at the time and turned to walk into the director's office.

Director Wang was busy sitting at his desk. When he saw Deputy Director Ma come in, he looked up and smiled with concern: "Old Ma, what's wrong?"

Deputy Director Ma hesitated for a moment and stammered, "Director Wang, I would like to... take a day off."

Director Wang was slightly startled, then put down the pen in his hand, looked Deputy Director Ma up and down, and asked with concern: "Why do you suddenly want to take a leave? Are you feeling unwell?"

Deputy Director Ma didn't dare to look Director Wang in the eye. He avoided her gaze and said hesitantly, "Well... I feel a little uncomfortable. I want to go back and rest."

Director Wang nodded and said, "Okay, take care of yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, go to the hospital. Don't force yourself. Put work aside. Your health is more important."

Deputy Director Ma nodded hurriedly, thanked him repeatedly, and hurriedly left the office.

Looking at Deputy Director Ma's back, Director Wang from the Street Office narrowed her eyes. She felt that Director Ma was a little strange.

However, Director Wang didn't think much about it because she had more important things to do now.

During this period, the Orchid Automobile Factory developed rapidly and its scale continued to expand. The existing number of formal workers could no longer meet production needs.

Wang Weidong made a prompt decision to recruit another batch of temporary workers. He was concerned about the residents of Nantongluo Lane and specially allocated 100 quotas to them.

These 100 places are like a ray of light in the darkness for many poor households in the neighborhood, meaning that they finally have the opportunity to find a job and escape poverty.

Director Wang is fully aware of the importance of this task and dares not slack off at all.

She rode her half-worn bicycle in a hurry to the steel mill director's office.

Wang Weidong had known that she was coming. When he saw her come in, he immediately stood up and greeted her enthusiastically, "Director Wang, you are finally here. Please take a seat!"

Director Wang walked into the office and responded with a smile: "Director Wang, I am bothering you again."

Wang Weidong waved his hand and said with a hearty smile: "What are you talking about? It's all for everyone's good life."

After that, he turned to Yu Li and said, "Yu Li, take the prepared quota documents to Director Wang."

Yu Li quickly came over with the document and handed it to Director Wang.

Director Wang took the document and looked through it carefully.

After confirming that everything was correct, he smiled with satisfaction, stood up, and said sincerely: "Director Wang, thank you so much! These 100 quotas really helped our Nantongluo Lane neighborhood a lot. I thank you on behalf of those poor households!"

Wang Weidong smiled and said, "Director Wang, you are too polite. We are all here to help the people live a good life. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to ask."

Wang Weidong is not a conservative person. He lives in the Nantongluo Lane neighborhood and is willing to help wherever he can.

The two chatted briefly about work, and then Director Wang said goodbye and left.

As soon as Director Wang left, Wang Weidong straightened his face and turned to Yu Li and said, "Go, call Liu Changyi to my office."

Yu Li responded and walked out of the office quickly.

Soon, Liu Changyi came hurriedly and said respectfully as soon as he entered the door: "Director, you are looking for me?"

Wang Weidong pointed to the chair opposite him, motioning him to sit down, and then asked, "Changyi, have Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian confessed the truth now?"

Liu Changyi frowned slightly, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face, and he shook his head and said, "Director, not yet. These two people are very stubborn, no matter how we ask, they refuse to give in."

Wang Weidong crossed his hands in front of his chest, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "This matter cannot be delayed. They stole factory secrets, which is no small matter.

You must speed up the interrogation and make sure to find out the whole story as soon as possible."

Liu Changyi nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Director, I've been thinking of a solution.

I have arranged interrogations in shifts over the past two days, and have also tried to break through their psychological defenses from different angles. I believe there will be progress soon.”

Wang Weidong patted Liu Changyi on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, but don't be too anxious. Interrogation requires strategy and methods. You can't make any mistakes."

Liu Changyi stood up, straightened his back, and said firmly, "Director, I understand. I will do my best to get them to explain clearly as soon as possible."

Wang Weidong nodded with satisfaction, and Liu Changyi then said goodbye and left.

...

On the other side, Deputy Director Ma came to the tavern with a nervous mood. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yi Zhonghai sitting in the corner, with wine and food on the table, and he had obviously been waiting for a while.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Deputy Director Ma coming, he hurriedly stood up, greeted him with a smile on his face, led him to his seat, then picked up the wine jug and enthusiastically poured a glass of wine for him.

However, Deputy Director Ma had no intention of picking up the wine glass. He looked impatient and asked directly: "Yi Zhonghai, what do you want? Don't beat around the bush with me, just tell me."

Seeing this, the smile on Yi Zhonghai's face froze slightly, but soon returned to normal.

He put down the wine jug, cleared his throat, and said, "Deputy Director Ma, to be honest, I came to you today to ask for a favor.

I want to rescue Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi from the steel mill security department."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Ma seemed to be struck by thunder. The expression on his face froze instantly. He widened his eyes and looked at Yi Zhonghai in disbelief.

After a while, he came back to his senses, waved his hands repeatedly, and said in horror: "Yi Zhonghai, you are kidding, right? I can't do anything about this!

The steel mill security department is not something I can interfere with. They are stealing factory secrets, which is a serious violation of the law. If I get involved, I will be in big trouble!"

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly explained: "Deputy Director Ma, please don't be so hasty to refuse. You have a wide network of contacts in this area and you are very capable. As long as you are willing to step forward and find someone to smooth things over, there will definitely be a way. Besides, these two children are still young. It would be a pity if their future was ruined like this."

Deputy Director Ma was so angry that he slammed the table, and his wine glass trembled, and said: "Yi Zhonghai, don't flatter me! I can't take responsibility for this kind of thing.

Don't you think that if the higher-ups knew about this, I would lose my job! Don't talk to me about this again, I will never agree to it! " Deputy Director Ma's tough attitude did not make Yi Zhonghai lose his composure.

He still looked confident and said slowly, "Deputy Director Ma, are you really going to reconsider it? If you don't cooperate, don't blame me for being rude.

I know a lot about your past. If I reveal all your past, you will not only lose your position as deputy director, but you may even have to go to jail!"

This is what a threat is!

Deputy Director Ma's face instantly turned as dark as ink. His hands clenched unconsciously, veins bulged on his forehead, and a trace of panic and anger flashed in his eyes.

He never thought that Yi Zhonghai would dare to threaten him. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, Yi Zhonghai changed the subject: "Of course, I am not an unreasonable person.

As long as you are willing to help, I will give you fifty dollars as a reward, which is a considerable sum, enough for you to improve your life. "

Deputy Director Ma gritted his teeth and said, trying to hold back his anger: "Yi Zhonghai, it's not that I don't want to help you, I'm just really powerless! The security department of the steel mill has strict discipline, and I can't control it at will."

At this time, Yi Zhonghai raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile, and said: "Deputy Director Ma, please stop pretending.

I have known for a long time that your son Ma Wude works as an officer in the security department of the steel rolling mill.

As long as he secretly releases Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi, the matter will be solved without anyone noticing."

When Deputy Director Ma heard this, his heart sank. He didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai had investigated this so clearly.

The expression on his face was uncertain, and his heart was in extreme conflict.

Just as Deputy Director Ma was struggling with his conscience, Yi Zhonghai continued, "Deputy Director Ma, don't worry.

As long as Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi escape, I will arrange for them to go to the farm in the northwest.

It was a deserted place, and after they went there they changed their identities and would never appear in the capital again, so no one would notice them.

This way, the matter will remain secret and neither you nor Wude will be in any trouble."

Deputy Director Ma raised his head, his eyes showing a hint of hesitation, and said: "Yi Zhonghai, you make it sound easy, but this matter is not that simple.

If something goes wrong and someone finds out, we'll be finished!"

Yi Zhonghai hurried forward and patted his chest to assure: "Deputy Director Ma, do you still not trust me? I have already planned everything carefully.

I have a detailed plan from their escape route to their trip to the Northwest.

As long as Wude makes some adjustments to the security department and release the person, leave the rest to me.

Moreover, I will prepare an "insurance" for you and Wu De, so that if there is any disturbance, I guarantee that you will be kept out of it."

Deputy Director Ma frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "What do you mean by 'insurance'? Tell me first."

Yi Zhonghai leaned forward, lowered his voice, a sly and determined light flashed in his eyes, and said: "Deputy Director Ma, to be honest, there is a powerful nobleman in the deaf old lady's network.

Although this nobleman rarely shows up on weekdays, he will definitely give face to the deaf old lady as long as she speaks.

If you help this time, if something happens later, this noble man will mediate and ensure that you and Wude are safe and sound."

Seeing that Deputy Director Ma was still hesitant, Yi Zhonghai continued, "And, as long as the matter is resolved smoothly, I will ask this noble man to come forward and transfer you there.

Think about it, you have been the deputy director of this street office for decades and have always worked diligently. You should have been promoted long ago.

This is a rare opportunity. Once you get to the district, your future will be limitless."

When Deputy Director Ma heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He was silent for a long time, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously, struggling fiercely in his heart.

Finally, he raised his head, with a look of determination in his eyes, and said: "Yi Zhonghai, do you mean what you said? If things go wrong, don't think you can just stay out of it. I will drag you down with me even if it costs me my life!"

Yi Zhonghai was delighted when he saw this, and he patted his chest again and assured: "Deputy Director Ma, don't worry! I, Yi Zhonghai, always keep my word. As long as you follow the plan, nothing will go wrong.

When the matter is accomplished, you will certainly benefit from it."

Deputy Director Ma took a deep breath and said slowly: "Okay, I'll believe you this time.

But you have to tell me the plan in detail first, so I can see if there are any loopholes. Also, you have to give me the fifty dollars reward first."

...

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the streets, giving everything a golden look.

Ma Wude, an officer of the security department of the steel rolling mill, was riding his bicycle and humming a little tune, in a very good mood.

Today the factory gave him a five-yuan subsidy and two cloth coupons, which was a pleasant surprise for him.

I thought that it wouldn't be long before I could go to the pigeon market and buy the officer I had been longing for.

As soon as Ma Wude entered the house, before he had time to put down the things in his hands

Then he heard his father, Deputy Director Ma, calling him from the inner room: "Wu De, come in for a moment."

Ma Wude responded and walked into the inner room with joy in his heart.

The light in the room was dim, and my father was sitting on the edge of the bed with a serious expression, not at all as easy-going as usual.

Ma Wude's heart skipped a beat. His good mood instantly dissipated. He asked in confusion, "Dad, what's wrong? What happened?"

Deputy Director Ma looked up at his son and was silent for a moment, as if thinking about how to start. After a while, he slowly said, "Wu De, Dad has something to tell you today. You must listen carefully. This matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly." Ma Wu De looked at his father's serious expression and became more and more curious. He nodded and said, "Dad, go ahead. I'm listening."

Deputy Director Ma stood up and paced back and forth in the room, telling Ma Wude everything about Yi Zhonghai asking him to help release Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi, as well as the various promises Yi Zhonghai made. The more Ma Wude listened, the wider his eyes opened, and the expression on his face gradually changed from initial surprise to worry.

After listening to his father's story, Ma Wude frowned and said, "Dad, this is too risky, isn't it? Letting the suspect go without permission is a serious violation of discipline. If we are discovered, both father and son will be in trouble!"

Ma Wude's performance did not surprise Deputy Director Ma.

You know, in Deputy Director Ma's mind, this son is very smart.

Any smart person would realize that this is wrong.
