Siheyuan: Start with a big car

"Damn you Li Weidong, can't you just be a truck driver? Why do you need so much information?"

Liu Guangtian began to rummage through the pile of documents, becoming increasingly panicked, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. He was afraid of being discovered if he stayed in the office for too long, but the more anxious he became, the less clues he could find.

Suddenly, Liu Guangtian caught a glimpse of a piece of paper with the words "new energy" written on it among a pile of information. His eyes lit up instantly, and he was overjoyed, thinking that this must be the information Yan Jiecheng wanted. Without thinking too much, he grabbed the information and quickly hid it in his clothes, then walked towards the window quietly. When he came to the window, he nervously looked around again, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he carefully climbed out of the window.

At this time, Uncle Li had just finished cleaning the yard and was walking out of the yard with a broom and dustpan. Seeing Liu Guangtian, he stopped and asked, "Young man, have you found what you dropped?" Liu Guangtian calmed down and quickly replied, "I found it, uncle, thank you so much!" Uncle Li smiled and nodded, "That's good, let's go." Then he took Liu Guangtian to the gate of the yard.

The security officer was yawning at the door at this time and didn't pay much attention to them. Liu Guangtian and Uncle Li left the courtyard smoothly. Liu Guangtian felt like he had had a thrilling dream and now he finally escaped from it.

As it was working hours and the workshop was busy, Yan Jiecheng knew that leaving the workshop at this time would be too conspicuous and easily arouse suspicion, so he could only suppress his inner uneasiness and continue to stay at his workstation. He looked at the workshop door from time to time, anxiously waiting for Liu Guangtian's arrival, and held the tools in his hands tighter because of nervousness.

On the other hand, Li Weidong returned from a business trip and dragged his tired body back to the familiar office. As soon as he entered the door, he keenly noticed something strange. There seemed to be an unusual atmosphere in the air. He frowned and scanned the office. He found that some of the neatly arranged documents had been slightly shifted, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart. He walked quickly to the desk and checked carefully. He found that the order of some documents was disrupted and the drawers seemed to have been moved. His face became solemn, and he thought to himself: "Has someone entered my office?"

Li Weidong began to carefully check in the office

After checking for half an hour, Li Weidong was a little confused, because there were only a few pieces of waste paper thrown in the office. Even if they were not thrown away, he was planning to sell the waste.

“Who on earth wants to break into the office and steal the waste…”

Li Weidong pondered for a moment and decided to find out what was going on. After all, this person was able to get into the office today, so he might be able to steal information in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Weidong walked quickly to the door and called Xiao Wang, the security officer who was guarding the door. Xiao Wang heard the call and immediately ran over and asked nervously, "Director Li, what's wrong?" Li Weidong looked at him seriously and asked, "Has there been any suspicious people wandering around the office today? Or has anyone entered the office?"

Xiao Wang looked confused, scratched his head and replied: "Director, I didn't see anyone suspicious, nor did I notice anyone entering the office."

Li Weidong frowned even more tightly. He knew that this matter was not that simple and there must be something he had overlooked.

Li Weidong frowned slightly and continued to ask: "Has anyone else come to see me today?"

Xiao Wang recalled for a moment and replied, "Yes, Qin Jingru came here, but as you know, she is your assistant and often comes to report on her work. This is quite normal."

Li Weidong nodded slightly and motioned Xiao Wang to continue.

Xiao Wang suddenly slapped his head, as if he remembered something important: "Oh, there was another young worker who was here too, and he was hanging around for a while."

Li Weidong's eyes shone, and he asked hurriedly, "Young worker? Who is he?"

Xiao Wang tried to recall, and after a while, he said with certainty: "It was Liu Guangtian. I thought he was sneaky at the time, and wanted to ask him more questions, but then Qin Jingru came and said he was a workshop worker and came to apologize to you, so I didn't investigate further."

After listening to this, Li Weidong frowned.

He knew Liu Guangtian too well. This guy and Liu Guangfu had completely different personalities. Liu Guangfu was an honest man, but Liu Guangtian was very cunning.

Such people will never take the initiative to review themselves.

Then Liu Guangtian should be related to the lost waste information.

However, Li Weidong couldn't figure out what Liu Guangtian needed those waste products for.

Xiao Wang was watching Li Weidong in deep thought and realized something was wrong. He asked Li Weidong carefully, "Director, did something go missing in the office? You are so serious, there must be something wrong."

Li Weidong glanced at Xiao Wang and thought that it was not the right time to alert the enemy. If the security personnel conducted a large-scale investigation, the person behind the scenes might become alert and hide even deeper. So he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Nothing is missing. I'm just asking casually to see if there is anything unusual. You can continue to do your work and tell me if there is anything."

Although Xiao Wang was somewhat puzzled, he did not ask any more questions and turned to leave the office. Li Weidong sat at his desk and fell into deep thought again. He decided to secretly investigate Liu Guangtian to see if he could find out the truth of the matter.

Liu Guangtian alone is not scary. What is scary is whether there is someone behind Liu Guangtian who is instructing others to do it.

Otherwise, even if Liu Guangtian was caught, the people behind Liu Guangtian would still take action.

...

the other side.

The bell for the end of get off work rang out crisply, echoing in the workshop. That sound seemed to be the charge that Liu Guangtian had been waiting for for a long time. He was anxious, holding the documents in his arms, and hurried out of the workshop, thinking only of rushing to the third uncle's house and handing the documents to Yan Jiecheng. The one hundred yuan kept flashing in his mind, making him excited and nervous.

When he walked to the factory gate, he was suddenly blocked by a figure. He looked closely and found it was Liu Guangfu. Liu Guangfu looked at him seriously and asked, "Guangtian, did you write a self-criticism to Director Li today?"

Liu Guangtian suddenly remembered that there was such a thing, but his mind was full of stealing information, so he had no time to think about the inspection. He frowned impatiently and said to Liu Guangfu: "Brother, don't mind my business, I know what's going on." After that, he wanted to bypass Liu Guangfu and continue to move forward. But Liu Guangfu refused to give in and stretched out his hand to grab his arm: "Guangtian, you can't be so confused. If you make a mistake, you have to correct it. Evasion is not a solution. If you haven't written a self-criticism, go back and write it now, don't make trouble for yourself."

Liu Guangtian secretly groaned in his heart. He shook off Liu Guangfu's hand and raised his voice: "I told you not to bother me, why are you so nagging! I have my own plans, you don't need to worry about them." His eyes revealed a trace of panic and eagerness. He just wanted to get rid of Liu Guangfu as soon as possible and complete his "deal".

Liu Guangfu was a little stunned by Liu Guangtian's attitude. He didn't expect his brother to treat him like this. He stood there frowning.

"What happened to Liu Guangtian?"

Liu Guangtian jogged along the way, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He didn't bother to wipe them off, and there was only one goal in his eyes - the third uncle's house. Finally, he arrived at the courtyard.

He hurried to the door of the third uncle's house and knocked hard. After a while, the door opened, and the third uncle stuck his head out. When he saw Liu Guangtian, he immediately showed a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Guangtian? Why are you here?" the third uncle asked puzzledly.

Liu Guangtian panted, calmed his breath, and said, "Uncle, I'm looking for Yan Jiecheng, is he here?"

The third uncle frowned, looked Liu Guangtian up and down, and said slowly: "You kid, since you had a falling out with your father, you have rarely returned to the compound. Why did you suddenly come to find Jie Cheng today?"

Liu Guangtian scratched his head impatiently: "Uncle, it's hard to explain this matter in a short time, just tell me if Yan Jiecheng is here."

The third uncle looked at Liu Guangtian's anxious expression and said slowly, "Xie Cheng went out. He said he was going to meet a girl. He probably won't be back for a while."

When Liu Guangtian heard this, he was like a deflated ball, his anxiety turned into helplessness. He paced back and forth in the room, frowning, thinking about what to do. He didn't want to carry the information with him all the time, if he was discovered, it would be all over.

After much thought, Liu Guangtian decided that he had to hand the information to Yan Jiecheng as soon as possible. So he said to the third uncle, "Third uncle, I'll wait for him outside the courtyard." After that, he hurriedly left the third uncle's house and came to the street outside the courtyard.

He found a relatively secluded corner and stood there, his eyes fixed on the gate of the compound, looking around from time to time to see if there were any suspicious people around.

Just as Liu Guangtian was anxiously waiting for Yan Jiecheng, Liu Haizhong hummed a little tune and walked towards the courtyard. He saw Liu Guangtian standing outside the courtyard from a distance, and was stunned at first, then a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, isn't this my 'good son' Liu Guangtian?" Liu Haizhong said sarcastically, "Aren't you very capable? Didn't you just leave after falling out with me? Why are you back now? No one here welcomes an unfilial son like you."

When Liu Guangtian heard this familiar and harsh voice, his heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw that it was Liu Haizhong, and his brows immediately frowned. He responded unhappily, "I didn't come back to see you, don't be so self-indulgent."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, his expression became even uglier. He strode up to Liu Guangtian and widened his eyes. "Humph, you didn't come to see me? Then what are you doing here? This compound is a place where you can come and go as you please? Do you still have me as your father in your eyes?"

Liu Guangtian was very upset. He was now thinking about Yan Jiecheng and the information, and had no intention of getting entangled with Liu Haizhong. He raised his voice: "I said, it has nothing to do with you. I have my own things to do. Don't bother me." After saying that, he turned his face away and stopped looking at Liu Haizhong.
When Liu Haizhong heard Liu Guangtian's retort, he immediately flew into a rage, his face flushed red, and his eyes bulged like bells. He roared, "You're a rebel!" Then he quickly pulled out his belt and pretended to hit Liu Guangtian.

At this time, the second aunt heard the noise outside and ran out. When she saw Liu Haizhong was about to fight, she rushed over and grabbed Liu Haizhong's arm tightly: "Liu Haizhong, what are you doing? If you have something to say, just talk it out. How can you hit a child?"

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Liu Guangtian and cursed, "This little bastard talked back to me and didn't take me seriously. I must teach him a lesson today!"

Liu Guangtian looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly realized that if he continued to argue with Liu Haizhong, more people would gather around him, and the information he was hiding might be exposed. Then he would not only not get the money, but also be in trouble. So, he took advantage of the opportunity when the second aunt stopped Liu Haizhong, turned around and ran away, shouting back as he ran: "I don't want to bother with you!"

Liu Haizhong was still struggling to chase Liu Guangtian, but the second uncle held him tightly: "Calm down, why are you so impulsive? Deal with this matter after you calm down." Although Liu Haizhong was full of anger, he could only watch Liu Guangtian run away as the second uncle stopped him.

Liu Guangtian ran all the way and stopped not far from the entrance of the courtyard. He leaned against the wall, panting, and glanced in the direction of the courtyard from time to time, feeling very nervous.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Liu Guangtian had been waiting at the street corner for two hours. He paced along the street, then squatted on the ground, feeling anxious and irritable. He was not interested in the pedestrians coming and going around him, and was waiting for Yan Jiecheng to appear.

Finally, he saw Yan Jiecheng, humming a little tune and walking towards him with a happy look on his face.

Yan Jiecheng, who was immersed in a sweet dream, was suddenly stopped by Liu Guangtian. Liu Guangtian said to him anxiously, "I got the information." Yan Jiecheng's eyes lit up and his smile became even brighter: "Really? Great! Give me the information quickly."

Liu Guangtian did not move. He stared into Yan Jiecheng's eyes and said word by word: "Give me the money first, then I will give you the information. I'm not a fool, I won't be fooled by you easily."

Yan Jiecheng frowned slightly and said impatiently: "Hey, you still don't trust me? Bring me the information and I'll pay you."

Liu Guangtian sneered: "Humph, empty words are not enough. I took a huge risk for this information today. If you don't pay me, I will destroy the information and no one will have a good life."

Yan Jiecheng frowned. He didn't expect Liu Guangtian to be so difficult to deal with.

That’s right, Yan Jiecheng had no intention of giving the hundred yuan to Liu Guangtian at all. After all, Zhang Li didn’t give him much money. Besides, Yan Jiecheng was going to get married and needed money.

But now seeing Liu Guangtian's aggressiveness, he felt a little depressed. (End of this chapter)
