Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Yang Ting had dealt with many gang members in Hong Kong and had visited Kowloon Walled City several times. How could he not understand Li Yuanchao's thoughts?

In his mind, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

What's more, as long as he could get the exclusive sales rights for new energy vehicles and crush that damn girl Yang Xueli to death, it would be worth it no matter how much money he spent.

Yang Ting looked at Li Yuanchao, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Don't beat around the bush with me, Li Yuanchao, just name your price."

Li Yuanchao was secretly happy, but pretended to be embarrassed on the surface. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Yang Ting, this is too difficult. It will cost at least 50,000 yuan."

Yang Ting couldn't help laughing when he heard the price. In his opinion, the price was indeed too low, and it seemed that Li Yuanchao had not figured out his determination.

He put away his smile and said seriously, "Fifty thousand? That's too little. I'll give you a hundred thousand as long as you can get Li Weidong for me. But let me be frank, if you don't complete the task, you can forget about staying in Beijing."

When Li Yuanchao heard this, he was overjoyed. He had been worried that the price would be too high and would scare Yang Ting away, but he didn't expect the other party to double the price and even increase the bid.

This is what it means to be rich.

He immediately flattered Yang Ting with a big smile on his face: "Boss Yang is indeed a big businessman, he is generous! Don't worry, I, Li Yuanchao, have always been reliable in doing things. With 100,000 yuan in hand, I will definitely do a good job for you and make Li Weidong disappear from your sight."

Li Yuanchao knew that the 100,000 yuan was not easy to get, and Li Weidong was not an easy person to deal with. But under the temptation of huge money, he decided to take the risk.

He figured that as long as he could find the right people and plan carefully, he might be able to succeed.

...

Just as Li Yuanchao started his action, Li Weidong was watching a ballet performance in the theater.

Inside the theater, the lights were bright, and as the last note slowly fell, this wonderful ballet performance came to a successful conclusion. The audience burst into thunderous applause, which echoed in every corner of the theater for a long time.

Li Weidong stood up, holding a bunch of beautiful flowers in his hand, and walked to the backstage with steady steps. At this time, the actors were immersed in the joy of the successful performance, and laughter and joy were heard one after another.

Zhang Qian had just changed her clothes and was about to share the joy with other actors when she looked up and saw Li Weidong walking towards her with flowers in his hands.

Surprise and emotion flashed in her eyes, and her cheeks flushed with excitement.

Li Weidong walked up to Zhang Qian and handed her the flowers with a smile, "Your performance today was outstanding. This bouquet of flowers is for you." Zhang Qian excitedly took the flowers, took a deep sniff of the rich fragrance, then leaned closely against Li Weidong, her eyes full of gratitude and love.

"Weidong, thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I would not only be fired, but also lose the stage I love.

But now, not only was I not fired, I became a major actor and my salary was raised. I have to thank you for all this." Zhang Qian's voice trembled slightly.
Li Weidong patted Zhang Qian's shoulder gently and said softly, "Don't say that. You have the ability, but they were blind. Now everything is back on track, and you will definitely shine more brightly on the stage in the future."

Zhang Qian's eyes sparkled, and she said expectantly, "Weidong, to celebrate the success of the performance and to thank you, I want to treat you to a meal. Do you think it's okay?" Li Weidong was slightly stunned and hesitated for a moment. Looking at Zhang Qian's sincere eyes, he finally agreed with a smile, "Okay."

Zhang Qian was as happy as a child after getting a positive answer. She immediately said, "Then wait for me for a while. I'll go back to the dormitory to change clothes." After that, she ran away like a happy little bird.

Zhang Qian returned to the dormitory, rummaged through the drawers, and found her most beautiful blazer.

The skirt was light blue with delicate white flowers embroidered on the hem and a circle of white lace at the neckline and cuffs.

She put on her skirt carefully, combed her hair carefully in front of the mirror, and put on some light makeup, making herself look beautiful.

When Zhang Qian arrived at the theater gate, Li Weidong's attention was immediately attracted by her.

He was a little stunned. The Zhang Qian in front of him seemed like a princess from a fairy tale, fresh, refined and beautiful.

Compared with Zhou Xiaobai, Zhang Qian deserves the title of dancer.

Zhang Qian felt Li Weidong's fiery gaze and lowered her head shyly. Her cheeks flushed and she whispered, "Why are you looking at me like that..."

Li Weidong came back to his senses and exclaimed: "You look so beautiful today. This dress suits you very well."

Hearing Li Weidong's praise, Zhang Qian's smile became even brighter. She raised her head slightly and said, "Then let's go."

The two came to the Zhengyangmen Tavern. The lights in the restaurant were dim, and the air was filled with the aroma of food and a faint scent of wine.

They ordered a few side dishes and a pot of wine, and chatted while eating in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

After a few drinks, Zhang Qian's cheeks flushed with an intoxicating red and her eyes became blurry. She pretended to be drunk and her body swayed slightly.

Seeing this, Li Weidong said with concern: "Zhang Qian, have you drunk too much? Let me take you home."

Zhang Qian pretended to be confused and responded vaguely, but she showed no intention of getting up and leaving.

Li Weidong was helpless and started to worry. It was not convenient to send her back to the dormitory so late at night, but he needed a letter of introduction to stay in a state-owned hotel these days. He was in a dilemma for a moment.

After thinking for a moment, Li Weidong thought of Xu Huizhen.

So he took Zhang Qian to Xu Huizhen.

When Xu Huizhen saw Li Weidong coming in with Zhang Qian, whose face was flushed, she immediately understood something.

She could tell at a glance that the girl was interested in Li Weidong, and she couldn't help but feel jealous. But she knew Li Weidong's temper very well, and didn't dare to easily make him angry, so she could only force a smile and said, "Okay, I'll go to the second floor and prepare a room for you."

Xu Huizhen turned and walked upstairs, her steps a little heavy.

While cleaning the room, she sighed secretly, thinking that there was another girl who was in love with Li Weidong.

However, Xu Huizhen was also aware of her own status. As a middle-aged woman, what qualifications did she have to compete with young girls?

After tidying up the room, Xu Huizhen pulled herself together and went downstairs to help Li Weidong carry Zhang Qian to the room. She put Zhang Qian on the bed, and before leaving, she gave Li Weidong a meaningful look, full of helplessness, loneliness and a hint of unspeakable emotion, and then turned and left silently.

Li Weidong didn't think much about the meaning of Xu Huizhen's eyes, and only wanted to settle Zhang Qian. He walked to the table, poured a glass of warm water, returned to the bed, gently helped Zhang Qian up, and said gently: "Come, drink some water." He carefully fed Zhang Qian water, and seeing that Zhang Qian seemed to be more stable, he prepared to leave. At the moment he turned around, Zhang Qian suddenly stretched out her hand with strength from nowhere and held Li Weidong tightly.

Li Weidong was stunned and turned around subconsciously, only to see Zhang Qian with her eyes closed, her brows slightly furrowed, and mumbling something, but he couldn't hear clearly what she was saying.

Li Weidong was a little overwhelmed. He tried to break free from Zhang Qian's hand and said softly, "Zhang Qian, you should have a good rest first. I will come to see you tomorrow."

However, Zhang Qian held on tighter as if she were grabbing a life-saving straw, with no signs of loosening.

Zhang Qian raised her flushed face and looked at Li Weidong: "Brother Weidong, love me."

Li Weidong is not a hypocrite and it is impossible for him to remain calm when a beautiful woman sits on his lap.

He A went up.

The night was quiet.

The night is lively.

....
On the other hand, Li Yuanchao had already left the Friendship Hotel and began to look for someone who could kill Li Weidong.

However, Li Yuanchao soon realized the dilemma
As a child of a wealthy family, he was fine with eating and drinking with his friends on weekdays, but when it came to killing someone, few of them dared to do it.

But Li Yuanchao was not a man who gave up easily. He thought about it and suddenly thought of a solution that might solve the problem. So he came to a dilapidated courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing.

The courtyard looked unremarkable, with crooked walls and a broken gate. Li Yuanchao walked over and knocked on the door. After a while, the door creaked open and a bald old man appeared at the door.

The old man was wearing patched and tattered clothes, and he looked ordinary and unremarkable.

However, if you know his past, you will know that four or five years ago, he was a well-known tough guy in the capital, with ruthless means and several lives on his hands. The old man's name is Zhou Gongshan.

Zhou Gongshan and Li Yuanchao have always been at odds with each other because of their different positions.

At this moment, seeing Li Yuanchao standing at the door of his house, Zhou Gongshan's face darkened and he asked coldly: "Li Yuanchao, you are so bold that you dare to come to my door. What's the matter?"

Li Yuanchao immediately put on a smile, trying to ease the tense atmosphere, and said, "Uncle Zhou, I'm here today to give you some money."

How could Zhou Gongshan easily believe his words? He snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain, "Hmph, are you so kind? Don't play tricks on me here, just say what you want to say."

Li Yuanchao knew that Zhou Gongshan was not easy to fool, but he did not want to reveal the truth too early. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Uncle Zhou, to be honest, as long as you help me kill one person, I will give you 500 yuan." At that time, 500 yuan was not a small amount of money. It was enough for an ordinary family to live a prosperous life for many years.

Zhou Gongshan was slightly startled when he heard this.

Then his face returned to indifference, and he waved his hand and said, "I have retired and will no longer engage in those fighting and killing things. You can find someone else." After that, he was about to close the door.

Seeing this, Li Yuanchao quickly stretched out his hand to block the door and said anxiously: "Uncle Zhou, please think about it again. This money is easy for you to take, and the matter is not that difficult to handle."

Zhou Gongshan frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, "I said wash your hands, so don't bother me again. Don't you see what time it is? You still dare to do such a thing. It's no joke if you get caught."

Seeing that Zhou Gongshan was adamant and determined not to help, Li Yuanchao thought about it and came up with an idea. He quickly said with a smile, "Uncle Zhou, since you are unwilling to do it yourself, can you introduce me to a reliable and good person? As long as you help to make the connection, I will give you a hundred yuan as an introduction fee. It's so easy, you just need to talk."

Zhou Gongshan was a little shaken after hearing this. One hundred yuan was indeed a great temptation for a man like him who didn't have a good life. But he had been in the underworld for many years and knew that people's hearts were unpredictable. If Li Yuanchao regretted it later, wouldn't it be a waste of his time? So he stared at Li Yuanchao and said coldly: "You can introduce me, but give me the money first."

When Li Yuanchao heard this, he immediately became unhappy.

He felt that Zhou Gongshan was asking for money before he did anything, which was really too much. His face suddenly darkened, and he couldn't help but scolded: "Zhou Gongshan, don't go too far! How can you ask for money before you even see the person? How can you do things like this?"

Seeing Li Yuanchao's change of expression, Zhou Gongshan also got angry and snorted coldly: "Hmph, you don't trust me? Then don't come to me." After that, he reached out to close the door.

When Li Yuanchao saw this, he secretly thought that something was wrong.

He knew that he had finally found the clue to Zhougong Mountain, and if it was lost, it would be difficult to find the right person again.

After weighing the pros and cons, he had to suppress his anger, forced a smile on his face, and apologized quickly: "Uncle Zhou, I'm sorry, I was anxious just now, please don't take it to heart. Here's the money, right away."

As he spoke, Li Yuanchao reluctantly took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Gongshan.

Zhou Gongshan nodded with satisfaction, took the money, looked at it carefully, and put it in his pocket after confirming that it was correct.
"Since I've taken your money, I have to do the job for you. I do have a nephew named Zhou Changli, who is a ruthless killer. As long as you pay enough, there is nothing he can't do."

When Li Yuanchao heard this, he was overjoyed and asked quickly, "Uncle Zhou, where is he? Tell me the address quickly."

Zhou Gongshan slowly took out his pipe from his pocket, filled it with tobacco, lit it, took a deep breath, blew out a smoke ring, and then slowly said, "He lives at No. 38 Maoer Hutong.

But I have to tell you first, I will only show you a way, whether it succeeds or not has nothing to do with me. When you go to find him, don’t mention me.”

Li Yuanchao nodded hurriedly: "Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down. As long as he can get the job done, money is not a problem."

"Okay, then you can do whatever you want." Zhou Gongshan closed the door. He had realized that Li Yuanchao might get into trouble this time.

Li Yuanchao rode his bicycle and hurried towards No. 38 Maoer Hutong.

Soon, he arrived at his destination. The door in front of him was dilapidated and looked like it could be blown down by a gust of wind. Li Yuanchao raised his hand and knocked on the broken door.

"Who is it?" With a hoarse question, the door creaked open and a middle-aged man appeared at the door. He was burly, with a face full of flesh and a fierce look in his eyes.

Before Li Yuanchao could even open his mouth, the middle-aged man roared like an angry lion: "Li Yuanchao, how dare you come to my door!"
