Siheyuan: Start with a big car

However, what Yan Jiecheng did was a blessing in disguise.

The third uncle was quite puzzled at first. What happened to his son? He went out early and came back late every day and was never seen.

But he thought to himself that this kid must be serious and responsible at work, so he worked so hard, and he felt relieved.

That night, Yan Jiecheng waited until midnight to get home. The third uncle was still awake and was sitting in the house correcting students' homework. He heard the door open.
He looked up and saw that it was Yan Jiecheng who had returned, so he smiled and said, "Jiecheng, you've been very busy these past few days, leaving home early and coming back late every day. It seems that you work very hard in the factory. That's right, young people must have this kind of drive. If you work hard, you will definitely have a bright future."

Yan Jiecheng felt guilty when he heard this, but he couldn't tell the truth to the uncle, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Dad, that's right. I just started working at the factory, so I have to perform well and do more work to leave a good impression on the boss. Then I can get a promotion and a raise faster in the future. Don't worry, I know what's going on."

After hearing this, the third uncle smiled even more happily, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, my son is sensible and motivated, that's the way it should be. But don't tire yourself out too much, work is important, but you have to take care of your health too."

"I understand, Dad. I'll pay attention. I'll go back to my room and rest first." Yan Jiecheng responded quickly and went back to his room dejectedly.

He closed the door, leaned against it and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Jiecheng thought that he could be successfully converted to a full-time employee, but he underestimated Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin is a man who will not give up until he achieves his goal. How can we be fooled by him so easily?

Zhong Yuemin searched for several days in a row, and turned over all the places that Yan Jiecheng often went to, but he couldn't find any trace of Yan Jiecheng. He immediately realized that Yan Jiecheng must be deliberately avoiding him.

Humph, you want to hide? It's not that easy.

So, Zhong Yuemin called his two younger brothers Zhang Haiyang and Zheng Tong together, frowned and said, "Tell me, Yan Jiecheng is hiding from us now, we have to find a way to catch him. The new energy vehicle ticket is still in his hands, we can't just let it go."

After hearing this, Zheng Tong stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said, "Brother Yuemin, I think we should first find out what Yan Jiecheng is doing every day. If we know his whereabouts, we will not be able to catch him. But this matter is a bit troublesome. You know, Li Weidong knows both of us. If he sees us, who knows what complications may arise. I think Zhang Haiyang can only come forward to deal with this matter."

Zhong Yuemin thought Zheng Tong's words made sense, so he turned to look at Zhang Haiyang and said, "Haiyang, I'll leave this matter to you. You have to pay attention and find out the situation of Yan Jiecheng. Come back and tell us about it."

Who knew that Zhang Haiyang would immediately start to hesitate when he heard this. He hung his head and muttered softly: "Brother Yuemin, I'm really short of money recently. I have to spend money everywhere to do things. My pockets are almost emptied out, so how can I have the spare money to inquire about the news?"

In fact, Zhang Haiyang knows it very well in his heart. He is not a fool.

He knew that Zhong Yuemin made a lot of money by trading in new energy vehicle tickets, but now he asked him to run errands without giving him any benefits. Isn't this treating him like a fool? Why can Zhong Yuemin make money easily while he has to work for nothing?

When Zhong Yuemin heard what Zhang Haiyang said, he immediately saw what he was thinking. He was immediately annoyed. He frowned and stared at Zhang Haiyang and said, "Zhang Haiyang, what are you talking about? Between us brothers, there are so many things to pay attention to when helping each other. You only care about money, right?"

Zhang Haiyang felt a little uneasy after being glared at by Zhong Yuemin, but he still said with his neck stiff, "Brother Yuemin, I am speaking the truth. Without some money, it would be inconvenient for me to do this. You can't let me go to work for you on an empty stomach."

Although Zhong Yuemin was angry, he thought that he still had to rely on Zhang Haiyang to clarify the matter of Yan Jiecheng. If he offended him too much, he would quit, which would be even more troublesome.

In desperation, Zhong Yuemin gritted his teeth, took out five yuan from his pocket, handed it to Zhang Haiyang, and said, "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, I'll give you five yuan, use it, and you have to do the job for me."

Zhang Haiyang looked at the five dollars and curled his lips in disdain, saying, "Brother Yuemin, just five dollars? That's not enough. I have to go out and get information, and I have to treat people to dinner and so on. This amount of money is not enough. Can you give me more?"

When Zhong Yuemin heard this, he was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Zhang Haiyang and said, "Zhang Haiyang, don't go too far. I gave you the money because of our brotherhood. You still think it's not enough. It's up to you to do it or not. If you don't want to do it, forget it!"

When Zhang Haiyang saw that Zhong Yuemin was really angry, he didn't dare to continue bargaining. He quickly put away the money and said with a smile: "Brother Yuemin, don't be angry, don't be angry, I will do it, I will do it, I will go and find out the news, and I will definitely do it for you properly."

Having said that, he turned around and walked away dejectedly.

Zhang Haiyang took the money, thinking that he couldn't take it for nothing, so he had to get the job done. So he went back to his house, changed into a worker's uniform, and dressed himself up. Then he swaggered into the courtyard, ready to ask around for news about Yan Jiecheng.

As luck would have it, as soon as he entered the compound, he saw Li Weidong standing in the yard chatting with someone. Li Weidong was a man who could not tolerate any sand in his eyes. He could tell at a glance that although Zhang Haiyang looked like a worker,
But his temperament and demeanor don't look like that of someone who works seriously in a factory.

However, although Li Weidong became suspicious, he did not speak out immediately. Instead, he continued to stand there calmly, wanting to see what Zhang Haiyang was going to do.

As for Zhang Haiyang, he didn't realize that Li Weidong had seen through him. He was still looking around, wondering who to ask first.

When he looked up, he saw Li Weidong. Thinking that Li Weidong and Yan Jiecheng were both from the same hospital, he might know something about the situation. So he walked straight towards Li Weidong, smiling and politely asked, "Brother, hello. I want to ask you about someone, Yan Jiecheng from our hospital. Do you know what he is doing now?"

When Li Weidong heard this, he was even more certain that Zhang Haiyang had bad intentions. He frowned, his eyes became sharp, and he looked Zhang Haiyang up and down, then asked with a stern face and a serious tone: "Huh, I was going to ask you, who are you?

What is your purpose for coming to our yard dressed like this, pretending to be a worker, to inquire about things? You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

When Zhang Haiyang heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself that this was not good. He did not expect that he would be discovered as soon as he opened his mouth. However, he could not just admit it. He could only bite the bullet and argue: "Brother, what are you talking about? How can I pretend to be a worker?
I am just an ordinary worker. Yan Jiecheng and I are friends. We haven't contacted each other for a long time. I just wanted to ask him what he is busy with recently. Please don't misunderstand me. "

Li Weidong snorted coldly and didn't believe Zhang Haiyang's words at all.

He took a step forward, his eyes revealing an unquestionable majesty, and said: "Friend? I don't think it's that simple. Your words are incoherent and you are obviously lying.
If you don't tell the truth, I will call the people in the courtyard over. By then, there will be too many people around and you won't be able to leave. You should think about it yourself."

Zhang Haiyang was panicking, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
At this time, Sha Zhu heard the noise outside the house. He was curious, wondering if something had happened, so he ran out. When he arrived in the yard, he saw Li Weidong and Zhang Haiyang in a stalemate. He frowned, walked up and asked, "Brother Weidong, what happened? Why did it become like this?"

Li Weidong pointed at Zhang Haiyang and said seriously, "Shazhu, this young man is suspicious. He came to our hospital dressed like a worker to inquire about Yan Jiecheng. I don't think he looks like a serious person. He was hesitant when I asked him questions. He must have bad intentions."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately perked up. He couldn't stand those sneaky people who did bad things. He rolled up his sleeves, took a step forward, and pretended to grab Zhang Haiyang, shouting, "Hey, you are so brave. You dare to come to our yard to do bad things. Let me see how I will deal with you today!"

Zhang Haiyang was even more frightened when he saw this. He turned around and ran away in panic, thinking that as long as he could escape from the courtyard, he would have a chance of survival. But he could not run faster than Sha Zhu. Before he could run two steps, Sha Zhu blocked his way.

Zhang Haiyang was desperate at this moment. He glared and didn't care about anything else. He waved his fist and used all his strength to hit Sha Zhu's face hard, shouting: "I told you not to meddle in other people's business. Get out of here!"

Sha Zhu didn't expect Zhang Haiyang to fight back. He was caught off guard and hit on the cheek. However, Sha Zhu was a famous "martial god" in Siheyuan. This little fight couldn't hurt him. After being hit, Sha Zhu was furious. He snorted coldly, rubbed his face, and said, "Good boy, you dare to hit me. Today I must let you know how powerful I am!"

Having said that, Sha Zhu didn't hold back anymore and directly raised his fist to counterattack Zhang Haiyang. His punches were fast and fierce, one punch after another, beating Zhang Haiyang without any chance to fight back. In just a few punches, he knocked Zhang Haiyang to the ground.

Zhang Haiyang lay on the ground, holding the painful part of his body, yelling “Ouch, ouch”. He no longer had the arrogance he had just had. His eyes were full of fear and begging for mercy. He looked at Sha Zhu and stammered, “Big…Big Brother, please…please spare my life. I…I was wrong. Please…please stop hitting me.”

Sha Zhu stood there, looking down at Zhang Haiyang, panting and shouting, "Hmph, you know you're wrong now? It's too late! Tell me, who are you and what bad things do you want to do in our courtyard? If you dare to tell a lie, I'll punish you!"

Zhang Haiyang was lying on the ground, feeling extremely regretful. He never expected that Li Weidong would see through his disguise as soon as he showed up. He had thought that he could successfully get the news about Yan Jiecheng and report back, but now, not only did he fail to accomplish his task, he was also beaten up by this burly and tough Sha Zhu who looked like he was not easy to mess with. Now his whole body was in pain.

He looked at the neighbors who had gathered around him, and then glanced at Sha Zhu who was standing in front of him with an angry face and Li Weidong who had a serious face. He knew that if he didn't tell the truth today, he would not be able to avoid the beating. He could only bite the bullet and continue to tell him tremblingly about what Zhong Yuemin asked him to do to investigate Yan Jiecheng.

"Brothers, I... I'm really not a bad person. My name is Zhang Haiyang, and I'm Zhong Yuemin's friend. He... he asked me to find out about Yan Jiecheng's situation. I just want to know what Yan Jiecheng is doing now. I don't have any bad intentions. I... I'm just helping a friend, so I thought of changing clothes so that it would be easier to find out. I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Please, forgive me this time."

As Zhang Haiyang spoke, he looked at Li Weidong and Sha Zhu pitifully, looking extremely embarrassed.

Li Weidong almost laughed out loud after hearing what Zhang Haiyang said.

Just kidding, as a time traveler, how could Li Weidong not recognize Zhang Haiyang?

In the original novel, Zhang Haiyang, as Zhong Yuemin's lackey, helped Zhong Yuemin do many bad things.

It's just that he just pretended not to know him and took the opportunity to give Zhang Haiyang a good beating.

Li Weidong turned his head to look at Sha Zhu and said, "Sha Zhu, from what he said, it seems that he really didn't do anything bad, it's just that the method he used was not right. Look at this..."

Sha Zhu was still angry. He snorted and said, "Brother Weidong, even if he just came to get information, he can't be so sneaky. He even dared to hit people. How can this be justified? I think he deserves to be punished."

Zhang Haiyang was so frightened when he heard what Sha Zhu said that he quickly begged for mercy: "Brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn't have done that, I was just anxious and lost my mind, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time, I promise I won't dare to do it again."

Hearing this, Li Weidong suppressed his smile and said, "Okay, since it's a misunderstanding, you can leave now, but don't pretend again in the future. Fortunately, Sha Zhu stopped in time this time, otherwise you might be in danger."

"Yes, yes, brother, you are such a good person. Don't worry, I will learn from my mistakes in the future."

Zhang Haiyang didn't expect that he would have to thank others after being beaten. He felt it was really aggrieved.

But Zhang Haiyang couldn't care less now. He had to find out what Yan Jiecheng was doing recently. (End of this chapter)
