Siheyuan: At the beginning, I was chased by a rich woman

Chapter 182 Meeting Cheng Dieyi for the First Time

After leaving the rolling mill, Li Ye got into the car and headed all the way to the address provided by Duan Xiaolou.

According to Duan Xiaolou's account, Cheng Dieyi is now assigned to work in a theater troupe in a county under Sijiu City.

After Li Ye drove the car and found out the location of the county drama troupe.

When I got off the bus, I found that it was compared with the Beijing Opera Troupe in Forty-Nine City.

No matter the size or the facilities of this theater troupe, it is not a little bit worse.

The gates that have been in disrepair for a long time and the cracked door plaques all show that this theater has been abandoned by the times.

Maybe the people inside are too.

Li Ye sighed in his heart and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Ye could smell the smell of rotten wood, and the whole theater was covered with dust.

Li Ye first waved away the dust that was raised when he opened the door.

Then, looking at the empty hall, he asked aloud, "Is anyone there?"

After waiting for a long time, no one answered.

Li Ye had no choice but to step on the creaking wooden boards and walk towards the backstage.

Just after Li Ye opened the curtain and went in, he suddenly heard a line from a room inside.

"Since I have fought with the king in the east and west, I have suffered from wind, frost and toil, year after year."

Li Ye didn't know much about these opera cultures, because he had never been exposed to this kind of art no matter which era he lived in.

But at this moment, listening to this opera sung from this person's mouth, Li Ye seemed to feel the sadness and unspeakable worry of a peerless beauty.

Li Ye stopped in place and listened to the lyrics before slowly walking towards that room.

And as Li Ye's footsteps moved, the 'Concubine Yu' in the room slowly sang again: "I hate the Wudao Qin for ruining lives, which only made the common people miserable."

As the last character fell, Li Ye also walked to the door of the room.

Then he reached out and pushed open the door.

Seeing that the makeup has been put on in the room at this moment, she is dressed in the same Yu Ji outfit as in the movie.

With just one glance, Li Ye recognized that this person was that Cheng Dieyi, the Cheng Dieyi who wasn't crazy and couldn't survive.

At this moment, the other party was standing in a corner of the utility room full of props and performance costumes, with both hands making dramatic gestures that Li Ye could not understand.

A self-forgetful show.

Cheng Dieyi was obviously surprised by Li Ye's arrival.

He hurriedly stopped his movements, looked at the tall Li Ye and asked, "Little brother, what's the matter with you?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, looking at Cheng Dieyi, who was neither humble nor overbearing, with a peaceful look.

Suddenly, Cheng Dieyi doesn't seem to be so paranoid as long as he doesn't get involved with Duan Xiaolou.

Li Ye was quite anxious, so he said straightforwardly: "I came to you to ask, do you know a man named Yuan Shiqing?"

Hearing this name suddenly, Cheng Dieyi's expression changed instantly.

Then he looked at Li Ye and said out loud, "I know him, but I'm not very familiar with him."

Hearing Cheng Dieyi's answer, Li Ye sighed.

He knew in his heart that the past between Cheng Dieyi and Yuan Shiqing was something he didn't want to mention.

Because those years carried his depravity and helplessness.

As long as there is shame, no one is willing to uncover the scars.

Li Ye knew it well in his heart, but right now he didn't have time to go around in circles with the other party.

So he said directly: "I don't care if you know each other well or not, I'm here because you want to ask you, where is Yuan Shiqing's child you took in at the beginning?"

After hearing Li Ye's words, even though Cheng Dieyi's face was covered with paint, he still showed a look of shock.

Hastily denied it.

"I do not understand what you are saying."

After saying this, he looked at Li Ye and continued, "I don't care who you are, please get out of here now! Otherwise, I'll call the police."

As he spoke, he wanted to grab the prop gun used for performance from the side to drive Li Ye away.

Although Li Ye felt sorry for him in the movie, he would not allow him to resist just because he was pitiful.

So without saying a word, the moment the other party picked up the gun, he also took out his gun.

Pointing at the other party, he said, "Don't move, I don't want to hurt you."

Seeing this, Cheng Dieyi hesitated for a moment and dropped the wooden spear.

Seeing that the other party gave up resistance, Li Ye took out his ID from his pocket.

He said to Cheng Dieyi: "Let me introduce myself first, I am Li Ye, the chief of the security department of the sub-bureau."

"I just came here to know where his descendants are, and...I heard people say that the person who adopted him would have disguise skills. Is this true?"

After hearing Li Ye's question, Cheng Dieyi's face instantly showed a confused look, and then he seemed to think of something.

He asked anxiously, "Who told you these things?"

He spoke in a low tone, as if asking for an answer.

"is not it……"

"My senior brother, Duan Xiaolou?"

Hearing this, Li Ye was silent for a moment, then nodded.

The reason why he didn't deny it was because he didn't want to sell Sanniang. After all, if someone told you the secret, it would be very dishonest for you to tell others that it was the other party who told you.

Things didn't work that way.

Secondly, he felt that there was nothing wrong with letting Cheng Dieyi give up once.

It would be best to let Cheng Dieyi completely give up the idea of ​​going to see his senior brother this time.

Stay here safely and securely, and there will be no troubles in the future.

However, Li Ye thought about it.

There is a high probability that Cheng Dieyi will go to his senior brother as in the original plot.

No matter how Cheng Dieyi chooses, Li Ye feels that he has no right and has no way to interfere with his choice.

One is that Cheng Dieyi's obsession with the Overlord is too deep, and he is also an idealist.

Li Ye knew it was a waste of spittle to break up with such a person.

Secondly, even He Yuzhu who has a good relationship with him.

After Li Ye spoke thoroughly, if He Yuzhu continued to be unclear with Widow Qin.

Li Ye definitely won't waste that tongue.

Resolutely let go of the plot of helping others, and respect Yuzhu's choice of fate.

Not mentioning Li Ye's thoughts, after Li Ye nodded silently.

Cheng Dieyi only felt extremely desolate in his heart.

Thinking of all the past events, I suddenly felt that thousands of words poured into my heart but I couldn't say them.

Seeing Cheng Dieyi like this, Li Ye chose to give him a few more minutes.

If it weren't for pity on this person, why would Li Ye talk so much nonsense, and would drag him to Dr. Zhao if he didn't explain.

Simple, fast and effective.

In this way, the two were silent for a few minutes.

Cheng Dieyi came back to his senses, looked at the gun in Li Ye's hand, and then at Li Ye's pretty face.

Then he sighed and said, "Can I ask, what did that child do?"

Li Ye shook his head and said, "He didn't do anything wrong, I just went to find out a little bit about the situation."

Cheng Dieyi was slightly relieved when he heard this.

After so many years, his memory of Yuan Shiqing still stays in his "Overlord under the Moon" and commenting on his performance when they first met.

His feelings for Yuan Shiqing were complicated, so he brought his young child back after the other party died.

But because I was afraid of remembering the past, I didn't want to take it with me.

Now hearing what Li Ye said, Cheng Dieyi felt relieved.

Cheng Dieyi still believed in the authenticity of what Li Ye and the others said.

So he said:  …
