Siheyuan: Start with a big car

"Zhang Qian, I'm giving you a chance now. Not only can I get you out of Zhong Yuemin's control, but I'll also make sure you won't be bullied in the dance team."

Li Weidong knew that Zhang Qian was a simple girl, and the reason she did such a shameful thing was that she was deceived by Zhong Yuemin. He decided to help Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian hesitated for a moment and immediately agreed.

Li Weidong whispered a few words in Zhang Qian's ear. Zhang Qian nodded and left.

A hint of hesitation flashed across Zhang Qian's eyes. After all, this was an important decision that concerned her future.

But after thinking for a moment, she realized that this might be the only way for her to get out of the predicament, so she nodded vigorously and agreed immediately.

Seeing this, Li Weidong moved closer to Zhang Qian and whispered something in her ear, his voice so low that only the two of them could hear it.

Zhang Qian nodded continuously as she listened, and her expression gradually became firm.

After finishing her instructions, Zhang Qian turned and left.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky bright red.

Zhang Qian returned to the dance team and just as she reached the door, a figure suddenly flashed out from the side and blocked her way. It was Zhong Yuemin. He looked anxious, with an impatient light flashing in his eyes, and immediately asked: "Zhang Qian, how is it, did you succeed?"

Zhang Qian calmed down, a smug smile appeared on her face, and she said casually, "Of course, I have successfully charmed Li Weidong.

He is completely obsessed with me and has even agreed to meet me tomorrow night at a small house in the suburbs of Beijing."

When Zhong Yuemin heard this, he almost jumped up with joy, his face full of smugness, and he muttered to himself: "This damn Li Weidong finally fell into my hands."

As long as he could capture Li Weidong, not only would he be able to complete Li Yuanchao's mission, but he would also be able to get as many new energy vehicle tickets as he wanted in the future. The more Zhong Yuemin thought about it, the more excited he became.

Zhang Qian looked at Zhong Yuemin who was so excited that he lost himself in excitement. For some reason, she felt reluctant to let him go. She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but persuade him softly: "Yuemin, why don't we give up this operation? I... I don't think it's a good idea to do this. If something goes wrong, it will not be good for you or me."

Zhong Yuemin's smiling face suddenly darkened. He widened his eyes, as if he had heard something incredible, and angrily yelled, "Zhang Qian, are you out of your mind? It's already this time, and you want me to give up?

Did you never want to help me from the beginning, or did you not love me at all and didn't even want to marry me?"

Zhang Qian looked at Zhong Yuemin's ferocious appearance and felt sad. Only then did she finally recognize his true face.

She forced a perfunctory smile and said helplessly, "No, of course I love you and want to marry you. I'm just worried... Never mind, I won't say it anymore. I will help you take down Li Weidong."

When Zhong Yuemin saw Zhang Qian give in, his expression eased a little.

In order to comfort Zhang Qian, he stepped forward and held her hand, his tone becoming gentler: "Qian Qian, don't think too much. I'm doing this so that we can live a good life in the future.

As long as I succeed in dealing with Li Weidong this time, I will definitely marry you, and I will make sure you have everything you want, and I will never let you suffer any injustice."

Zhang Qian looked at Zhong Yuemin's hypocritical smile and felt disgusted, but she still forced herself to nod and said, "Well, I believe you."

Looking at Zhang Qian's back, Zhong Yuemin snorted coldly: "This woman is really stupid."

...

The next evening, the setting sun was like blood, dyeing the sky red. Zhong Yuemin and Liu Haiyang sneakily ambushed outside the hut. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the depressing atmosphere.

Liu Haiyang was feeling a little nervous. He kept looking around with a frown on his face. He said to Zhong Yuemin anxiously, "Yuemin, why do I always feel like this is a little precarious? Will anything go wrong?"

Zhong Yuemin glanced at him with disdain, patted his shoulder, and said confidently: "Don't worry! Zhang Qian will bring Li Weidong into the house later. As long as we receive Zhang Qian's signal, we will rush in like a tiger descending from the mountain and capture Li Weidong on the spot. By then, if Li Weidong doesn't want his affair with a woman to be exposed and his reputation to be ruined, he will definitely have to submit to us obediently."

Liu Haiyang's eyes flashed with excitement when he heard what Zhong Yuemin said. He rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "If we can really take down Li Weidong, we will be rich! He is so rich, and we can live a carefree life for a while if we extort any money from him."

Zhong Yuemin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile, and whispered: "Of course, this time Li Weidong has fallen into my hands. Let's wait and see the show." As he spoke, he stared at the door of the hut, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Time is like a man in his thirties, passing faster and shorter, and in the blink of an eye it is dark.

In the dim twilight, the surroundings were so quiet that only the occasional chirping of insects could be heard. In the distance, a slight sound of footsteps approached from afar, breaking the silence. Zhong Yuemin's originally tense nerves instantly became alert. He turned his head to look at Liu Haiyang who was already asleep beside him, reached out and pushed him hard, and whispered: "Wake up!"

Liu Haiyang woke up from his daze with a start, rubbed his eyes, and looked in the direction Zhong Yuemin was looking.

Not far away, Li Weidong was walking slowly with Zhang Qian. They were holding hands and looked particularly intimate in the dim light.

Zhong Yuemin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sinister smile, and whispered to himself: "Humph, let you enjoy this little bit of good fortune first, you will be in trouble later, let's see if you can still smile."

Liu Haiyang also perked up immediately, staring closely at the two men, with a hint of nervousness and excitement on his face, and whispered, "Yuemin, they are really here. It seems that everything is going according to plan."

Zhong Yuemin watched intently as Li Weidong and Zhang Qian walked into the hut side by side. The door creaked and slowly closed, engulfing the two figures in the dim room. Then, he and Liu Haiyang hid in the shadows outside the hut and began to wait quietly.

Time passed by minute by minute, and every second seemed to be stretched out. After ten minutes, Zhong Yuemin gradually became impatient. He kept changing his posture and muttered softly, "Why is there no movement? What is Zhang Qian doing?"

Liu Haiyang was also extremely anxious, with worry written all over his face. He leaned over to Zhong Yuemin's ear and said, "Yuemin, why am I a little worried that something might happen? It's been too long. Maybe something went wrong with Zhang Qian."

Zhong Yuemin glared at him and said calmly, "Don't scare yourself. Be patient and wait. Don't be anxious. I still trust Zhang Qian to do things."

Just when the two were extremely anxious, a clear laugh suddenly came from the silent night sky, and the sound came through the window of the cabin.

Zhong Yuemin was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed, a smug smile appeared on his face, and he whispered: "Haha, did you hear that? Zhang Qian succeeded. It seems that Li Weidong has completely let down his guard. We can catch him in the trap soon."

Zhong Yuemin was so excited that he was rubbing his hands together. He was about to kick the door open and rush into the house, but suddenly he stopped as if he was cast under a spell.

A trace of doubt flashed through his mind, and a hint of cunning appeared in his eyes. He turned his head to look at Liu Haiyang and said in a low voice: "Haiyang, go in and check the situation first."

When Liu Haiyang heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he looked at Zhong Yuemin with wide eyes.

He said reluctantly, "Yuemin, this...how can this be done? I...I'm timid. If something unexpected happens inside, I'll be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth."

Seeing that Liu Haiyang refused to agree, Zhong Yuemin's face suddenly became gloomy. He stared at Liu Haiyang fiercely and threatened: "Liu Haiyang, don't be ungrateful! If you don't listen, don't even think about playing with me in the future. When you go to the countryside and get bullied outside, don't expect me to protect you!"

Liu Haiyang turned pale with fear at Zhong Yuemin's threat. He knew that if he really offended Zhong Yuemin, his life in the compound would be difficult. After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "Okay... okay, I'll go in. You must meet me outside."

Liu Haiyang made up his mind, raised his foot suddenly, kicked the door open with a "clang", and rushed in like a mad bull.

He waved his stick high in the air with both hands and shouted at the top of his voice: "Li Weidong, you are a scoundrel in human form. You are already married, but you still play with young girls!"

The sound echoed in the small room, making people's ears buzz.

However, the next second, with a "click", Li Weidong slowly turned on the light.

The light instantly illuminated the entire room. Liu Haiyang's eyes widened, and the arrogance on his face froze instantly, replaced by fear.

He was shocked to find that Li Weidong and Zhang Qian were both sitting quietly in their chairs, their clothes neatly dressed, without any sign of panic or embarrassment.

Not only that, there were several security officers with serious expressions standing in the corner of the room, staring at him eagerly.

Liu Haiyang instantly realized that he had fallen into a trap, and his heart was pounding as if it was going to jump out of his throat.

He panicked and stammered, "I'm...I'm sorry, I...I went to the wrong place."

As he spoke, he tried to step back, hoping to find a chance to slip away.

At this moment, Zhang Qian suddenly stood up, pointed her finger at Liu Haiyang, and loudly accused: "It was them, Zhong Yuemin and Liu Haiyang who instructed me to frame Li Weidong! They asked me to invite Li Weidong here, hoping to take the opportunity to frame him for having an affair."

When Li Weidong saw that it was Liu Haiyang who came in, not Zhong Yuemin, he realized that something was wrong.

He rushed out immediately, but found no one outside. It seemed that Zhong Yuemin had already run away.

Li Weidong asked the security officer to escort Liu Haiyang back to the security department. Liu Haiyang realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly said that he was deceived by Zhong Yuemin.

When Li Weidong saw that the person who came in was Liu Haiyang and not Zhong Yuemin as he expected, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong. His intuition told him that something had gone wrong.

Almost at the same moment, he reacted extremely quickly and rushed towards the door, wanting to catch Zhong Yuemin, the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, when he rushed out the door and looked around with the help of the light from inside the house, he found that no one was outside.

Only the night wind blew, and the leaves rustled, as if mocking his lateness.

It was obvious that Zhong Yuemin saw that the situation was not good and had already slipped away.

Li Weidong frowned, turned back into the house, and said to the security officers, "Take him back to the security department."

Upon receiving the order, the security officers immediately stepped forward and held Liu Haiyang on the left and right.

Liu Haiyang was completely panicked at this point, realizing that the seriousness of the matter was far beyond his imagination.

While struggling, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "I was really deceived by Zhong Yuemin! He asked me to do this, I... I had no choice!"

Li Weidong snorted coldly: "Liu Haiyang, if you have evidence, I can let you go now and arrest Zhong Yuemin."

After hearing what Li Weidong said, Liu Haiyang realized his embarrassing situation. He had no evidence at all.

Seeing Liu Haiyang's horrified and hesitant look, Li Weidong slowed down his tone, but still spoke with unquestionable majesty.

He said, "Liu Haiyang, I'll give you another chance. As long as you are willing to tell us the whole story, we will consider giving you a lighter sentence. But if you insist on not changing your ways, don't blame us for being rude."

The security officer at the side also spoke up at the right time, his tone cold and intimidating: "Listen carefully, framing the leader of the steel mill is no small matter. If you go too far, you will be sentenced to at least ten years in prison! Think it over carefully."

Liu Haiyang was already frightened, and when he heard the security officer's words, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

His mind was in a mess and fear completely took over his reason.

After hesitating for only a moment, he said hurriedly: "I say, I say! This was not Zhong Yuemin's own idea, it was... Li Yuanchao who asked him to do it!

"Li Yuanchao?" Li Weidong didn't expect that Li Yuanchao was involved in this matter.

He remembered that Li Yuanchao brought Yang Ting from Gangcheng to see him some time ago, and instantly realized that the real culprit behind the scenes was Yang Ting.

"I didn't expect Yang Ting to be so despicable!"

Li Weidong gritted his teeth, a trace of anger and disdain flashed in his eyes.

He suppressed his anger, turned to the security officer and ordered: "Take Liu Haiyang away first, and keep him under careful watch."

Then, he looked at Zhang Qian again, his expression slightly relaxed, and said, "You should go back to the dance team first.

Remember, if anything happens again, notify me immediately."

Zhang Qian nodded quickly, with a hint of gratitude and awe in her eyes, "Well, Brother Li, I'll remember it. It's really thanks to you this time.

Zhang Qian dragged her tired body back to the dance team. Before she had time to sit down and rest, she heard someone outside calling her name anxiously.

Her heart skipped a beat and she knew it was Zhong Yuemin from the voice.

Helplessly, she stood up and walked out of the dance team.

As soon as she got out of the door, Zhong Yuemin rushed to her like an angry lion and cursed: "Zhang Qian, you traitor! How dare you betray me? Are you tired of living?"

Zhang Qian's pent-up anger was now completely ignited by Zhong Yuemin's scolding.

"Zhong Yuemin, you still have the nerve to say that to me? You never intended to marry me from the beginning. You just wanted to use me to deal with Li Weidong! I was really blind to believe a liar like you!"
