Siheyuan: Start with a big car

"Little bastard, can you tell me now who ordered you to do this?!"

Li Weidong stepped on the little bastard's head and asked with a sneer.

The little bastard's head was pressed to the ground, his face twisted, but he still pretended to be a hero and shouted at the top of his voice: "I'm a gangster, don't think I'll betray my brothers!"

There was a hint of stubbornness in his tone, as if he wanted to uphold the so-called "righteousness" at this last moment.

Li Weidong's anger suddenly rose up when he heard this.

He bent down, clenched his fists, and punched the little bastard on the shoulder several times, each punch was full of strength, and he scolded him while beating him: "It's already this time, and you are still stubborn with me!
What you did, you are worthy of being called a brother? If you don’t tell me today, don’t even think about leaving here alive!”

The little bastard cried out in pain, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his face, and he couldn't help but curl up his body.

Under the threat of Li Weidong's fist, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried out in a crying voice: "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me. I said, it was Li Yuanchao, he ordered me to do it!"

Li Weidong stopped punching, but he did not relax his vigilance and continued to ask: "Why did you listen to him?" The little bastard panted and said with a wronged face: "What can I do?
I just got out of jail, I had no money and no formal job, and he promised to give me a large sum of money, I…I was so bewitched that I agreed to it.”

Li Weidong thought for a moment, looked at the embarrassed little bastard, and said, "Okay, as long as you cooperate with me to get evidence against Li Yuanchao, I can let you go this time."

The little bastard's eyes lit up, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and he nodded hurriedly: "Really? Okay, I'll cooperate, I'll listen to you in everything! As long as you don't hit me again and don't send me in."

Li Weidong snorted coldly, "You'd better not play tricks, otherwise, you know the consequences.

"Don't worry, I actually have a grudge against Li Yuanchao as well."

The little bastard said.

In fact, he didn't say it, Li Weidong also knew

In the original book, it was because of Li Yuanchao that the little bastard lost his life.

Li Weidong leaned over, got close to the little bastard, and whispered the plan in detail, not missing out on any detail.

The little bastard nodded while listening, and hurriedly agreed: "Okay, Brother Li, I will definitely do it, you can rest assured!"

After the little bastard left, Li Weidong turned around and said to Fatty, "Fatty, take your brothers back first. There's nothing to do here."

Fatty Yu was a little worried and wanted to give him a few more instructions.
But looking at Li Weidong's determined eyes, he swallowed the words back and had to leave with his brothers.

Li Weidong took a deep breath and turned to walk towards the dilapidated temple. The light in the dilapidated temple was dim and filled with an old atmosphere.

Zhang Qian was tied to a pillar, her hair was messy and her face was covered with tears. When she heard footsteps, she looked up in fear.
The moment he saw Li Weidong coming in, a glimmer of hope instantly ignited in his eyes, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.

Li Weidong walked quickly to her side and untied the rope gently but quickly. Zhang Qian's legs softened after regaining her freedom and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Li Weidong was quick to support her.

Zhang Qian could no longer suppress her inner fear and grievance. She threw herself into Li Weidong's arms and burst into tears: "Li Weidong, I thought... I thought I would never see you again. I was so scared..."

Her voice was tearful and trembling, and her hands tightly grasped Li Weidong's clothes, as if she was afraid that if she let go, this sense of security would disappear.

Li Weidong patted her back gently and comforted her softly, "It's okay, it's all over. I'm here and I won't let you get hurt again."

His voice was low and warm, like a spring breeze, soothing the fear in Zhang Qian's heart.

"That bad guy brought me here. I've been worried about you... worried that something would happen to you because of me." Zhang Qian sobbed, her tears wet Li Weidong's shoulders.

Li Weidong leaned back slightly, gently held Zhang Qian's face with both hands, looked at her tear-stained eyes, and said seriously and firmly: "Don't be silly, how could I let anything happen to you?

I promised you that I would protect you.

No matter what happens in the future, don't be afraid, I will always be by your side."

Zhang Qian looked at Li Weidong, the fear in her eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a hint of shyness.

She threw herself into Li Weidong's arms and whispered, "Brother Weidong, love me."

Three hours passed quietly, and inside the dilapidated temple, Li Weidong and Zhang Qian were both dressed neatly.

Zhang Qian gently leaned against Li Weidong's chest, her fingers unconsciously tugging at the corner of Li Weidong's clothes, her voice filled with some worry: "Weidong, I once heard Zhong Yuemin mention Li Yuanchao. That guy is not someone you can easily mess with. He is ruthless and has some influence among the children in the compound."

Li Weidong lowered his head slightly, rubbed Zhang Qian's hair with his chin, then reached out his hand, gently pulled her into his arms, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

His tone was firm: "Qian'er, don't worry, I don't take Li Yuanchao seriously at all.

He is just relying on some crooked means to bully others."

Zhang Qian raised her head, her big eyes full of concern, her brows slightly furrowed: "But, this time he was able to instruct the little bastard to kidnap me and threaten you, who knows if he will come up with something more vicious. I'm really worried..."

Li Weidong didn't wait for her to finish, and lightly tapped the tip of her pen with his finger, interrupting her, "Don't think about it, I will take on whatever tricks he has.

If he dares to touch you this time, I will let him know the consequences of messing with me, Li Weidong."

Are you kidding? Li Weidong is no longer the truck driver he used to be. How could he be afraid of Li Yuanchao?

Zhang Qian looked at Li Weidong, and her uneasiness was slightly relieved.

On the other side, the little bastard took great pains to find a shabby bicycle and rode all the way out of the compound.

He casually leaned his bicycle against the wall and stood in the corner, his eyes fixed on the entrance and exit of the compound.

From day till dusk, the sky was dyed orange by the setting sun.

At this time, Li Yuanchao came out of the courtyard unsteadily with a girl.

The little bastard recognized Li Yuanchao at a glance and hurried forward to greet him. But the moment Li Yuanchao saw the little bastard, his face instantly darkened and he looked very unhappy.

It turned out that the girl next to Li Yuanchao was his fiancée, named Zhang Ke.

Li Yuanchao knew that if Zhang Ke knew about his relationship with the little bastard, it would cause a lot of trouble. He didn't want his image in the eyes of his fiancée to be greatly reduced, so when he saw the little bastard, he wanted to send him away quickly.

The little bastard didn't notice Li Yuanchao's thoughts, and approached him as usual, greeting him enthusiastically: "Brother Li, I finally saw you."

A trace of displeasure flashed across Li Yuanchao's face. He immediately pretended not to know him and said coldly, "Who are you? You must have recognized the wrong person."

As he spoke, he leaned closer to Zhang Ke inconspicuously, as if he wanted to block the little bastard's sight with his body, for fear that Zhang Ke and the little bastard would have too much eye contact.

The little bastard was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and realized that Li Yuanchao didn't want to expose their relationship in front of his fiancée.

He rolled his eyes, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, brother. I really recognized the wrong person and disturbed you and sister-in-law."

After saying this, he bowed slightly to Zhang Ke, showing great respect.

Zhang Ke was a little overwhelmed by this sudden action, a blush appeared on her face, and she said softly, "It's okay."

Li Yuanchao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took Zhang Ke's hand, and prepared to leave, not forgetting to say: "Watch carefully next time."

The little bastard stood there, looking at their backs, with a barely perceptible sneer on his face.
I thought silently in my heart: "Li Yuanchao, just pretend, you will be in trouble later."

Li Yuanchao sent Zhang Ke home, chatted with Zhang Ke's parents for a long time, said some polite words about family matters, and then stood up to say goodbye.

He walked out of Zhang's door, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it skillfully, took a deep breath, and exhaled a thick smoke ring.

Just after taking a few steps, he saw the little bastard waiting not far away. Li Yuanchao frowned, walked over quickly with an unhappy face, and asked: "Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you not to come to me casually?"

He lowered his voice, with a hint of annoyance, for fear that someone around might hear it.

The little bastard was not flustered, he came forward with a smile and said in a low voice: "Brother Li, I have something important to discuss with you.

You must come with me. I have already captured Li Weidong and am waiting for you to come over and deal with him!"

When Li Yuanchao heard this, his frown suddenly relaxed, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But he quickly regained his vigilance and looked at the little bastard suspiciously: "You really caught him? You didn't lie to me, did you? Li Weidong is not that easy to deal with, don't do anything weird to me."

The little bastard patted his chest and assured: "Brother Li, I was just kidding you!

It took me a lot of effort to lure him into the trap we set.

Now he is imprisoned in a secret place, waiting for you to deal with him and vent your anger!"

Li Yuanchao flicked the ash off his cigarette and thought for a moment. He felt that although this matter was a little sudden, if it was true, it would save him a lot of trouble.

He took a long puff of his cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, crushed it with his foot, and said, "Okay, if you do a great job this time, you will get some benefits. Lead the way, don't dawdle!"

The little bastard looked embarrassed and stammered, "Brother Li, it's not that I don't want to take you there quickly, you see, I have spent a lot of money on this matter and took such a big risk... Can you give me some hard work fee first?

Just two hundred yuan, and you can give me the rest after the job is done." As he said this, the little bastard rubbed his hands and forced a flattering smile on his face.

When Li Yuanchao heard this, he was immediately furious. He glared at the little bastard and pointed at his nose and cursed, "What do you mean, kid? You're asking me for money before you do anything?

Who do you think I am, Li Yuanchao? Would I owe you a small sum of money?" His voice rose a few notches because of anger, and people passing by cast curious glances at him.

The little bastard was not intimidated by his aura, and still insisted: "Brother Li, you also know that it is not easy for me. I just came out of there and I have nothing.

I'm really afraid that you won't pay me, and I'll have worked in vain. Just think of this as a reassurance, and I'll take you there later, and I'm sure you'll run faster than a rabbit."

Li Yuanchao was so angry that his face turned red, and he clenched his fists, wishing he could beat up the little bastard.

But then he thought that Li Weidong was still waiting for him to deal with him, and he really didn't want to delay his business because of such a small matter.

He gritted his teeth, took out his wallet from his pocket, counted out two hundred-dollar bills, stuffed them into the little bastard's hand, and said viciously: "Take it! If you dare to cheat me, I will not forgive you!"

The little bastard took the money and immediately smiled. He quickly put the money into his pocket, nodded and said, "Brother Li, don't worry, I will never dare to cheat you.

Come with me, and I will take you there."

Li Yuanchao followed the little bastard with great expectation all the way to the suburbs, and then climbed up the barren mountain along the rugged mountain road, and finally arrived outside a dilapidated temple. The little bastard pointed at the dilapidated temple and said to Li Yuanchao with a firm face: "Brother Li, Li Weidong is tied up inside, and he can't run away."

When Li Yuanchao heard this, he was overjoyed and rushed into the dilapidated temple without thinking.

However, when he stepped into the temple, he saw only an empty space. There was no trace of Li Weidong at all, only a broken machine placed there.

Li Yuanchao's heart skipped a beat and he immediately felt that something was wrong.

Just as he was about to turn around and walk out, he heard hurried footsteps, and Section Chief Li of the Steel Mill Security Department rushed in with a group of people like a tiger descending from a mountain.

Section Chief Li stared at Li Yuanchao with a serious look on his face and accused him loudly, "Li Yuanchao, you are so bold that you dared to steal the confidential equipment of our steel mill!"

Li Yuanchao was shocked by this sudden accusation. His face turned pale in an instant. He stammered and tried to explain: "You...you must have misunderstood. I...I don't know what's going on at all!"

Section Chief Li snorted coldly, took a few steps forward, bent down to pick up the broken machine, held it in his hand, and said righteously: "Misunderstanding?
This thing was found right where you appeared, and you still want to deny it?
This is a confidential device that our steel mill has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to develop, and now it appears here. If it wasn't you who stole it, who else could it be?"

Li Yuanchao looked at the broken machine in Section Chief Li's hand, his mind went blank. He never imagined that the action he had carefully planned against Li Weidong would eventually turn into him being framed for stealing confidential equipment.

He was extremely anxious, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he shook his head desperately, trying to excuse himself: "It really wasn't me, I was framed, there must be someone behind this!"

Section Chief Li didn't give him any chance at all. He waved his hand and the security personnel behind him immediately surrounded Li Yuanchao.

"Take him away! Then we'll go to the police station and talk it out!"

At this time Li Yuanchao realized that he had been fooled by Li Weidong.

This was something Li Yuanchao could not accept. After all, in his opinion, Li Weidong was just a truck driver, and he was a child of a wealthy family.
