The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Li Xuewen found it hard to believe, and it was also hard for him to connect Ouyang Yi beside him with the one in his mind.

The clothes were so simple that they looked a bit tacky. Compared with the high-spirited and well-dressed Ouyang Yi in the past, he looked like a completely different person.

The smile after not seeing each other for a long time was also full of sincerity. If possible, Li Xuewen did not want the brother who berthed below him to take the wrong road. If he took a wrong step, there would be no room for maneuver.

Unlike Li Xuewen, after Ouyang Yi got over the initial excitement, he also noticed that his old classmates were looking at him with a look that was hard to describe.

Ouyang Yi also has self-esteem. Back then in school, his conditions were even better than Li Xuewen, who came from an ordinary family. But after so many years, he still has to beg others for help.

No wonder people look at me with strange eyes.

The complete reversal of the identities of both parties, in just a few short years, the long-unseen surprise, was stimulated by this layer of shame and inner complexity, creating a vague barrier.

"Third brother Yi, didn't I hear that you stayed in the capital? Why did you return to your hometown again? You didn't even say hello and didn't even attend the class reunion. What you did was really unkind~!"

Looking at his lower bunk with a scrutinizing gaze, no matter how Li Xuewen put himself in his shoes, he could not connect the old acquaintance, old classmate, and the third in the dormitory with the enemy spy sent here.

However, Ouyang Yi's reaction after the meeting was really wrong. There should be a lot for the two of them to talk about, but the familiar feeling of being able to talk about anything was gone, and only a strange sense of distance remained.

Awkward, yes, that's right. Li Xuewen felt that his old classmate did look awkward now, both in his behavior and the way he spoke.

Drops of sweat silently seeped out of his back, but Li Xuewen couldn't help but think of the worst. Could it be that he really went down that path?

"I, Xuewen, have a reason to go back. I don't want to go back, but I have to go back!"

With a bitter taste in his mouth, Ouyang Yi, who was taken away by Li Xuewen, looked at the interior of the community. He now guessed who the Huaqing graduate that his brother-in-law Jiang Defu mentioned was.

This was too much of a coincidence, otherwise the two of them would not have met here. The only answer was that the person above me had become a middle or senior level leader of the steel mill.

The deputy director of the Logistics Department will most likely take over the position of director of the Logistics Department next year.

Li Xuewen was touched by Ouyang Yi's words and opened his mouth. He actually wanted to ask that question now, but that question was not his to ask. What he had to do now was to take the suspect back to his home.

"Oh~!"

"It's okay, just come back. At the end of the year, when our classmates have a reunion, let's go together and let everyone see how you've changed~!"

Forcing a smile, Li Xuewen pulled Ouyang Yi's right hand, patted the back of his hand, and comforted him, saying that his acting skills were somewhat unsatisfactory.

This security chief has been in office for a long time and everyone looks like a criminal to him. However, this time, it was a classmate with whom he once had a close relationship.

"Xue Wen, are you in that steel mill now? Now, it should be the military factory, right? Among your classmates, you seem to be the most promising one, the deputy director of the logistics department~!"

Ouyang Yi wanted to confirm whether Li Xuewen was the cadre who was promoted very quickly as mentioned by his brother-in-law, but these words undoubtedly made the person involved feel depressed and the misunderstanding deepened again.

The smile he forced onto his face almost couldn't be held back. Li Xuewen rubbed his nose awkwardly, feeling that this old classmate came prepared.

"Did Lao Zeng tell you?"

Li Xuewen chuckled and nodded, his eyes subconsciously glancing at the third floor. His inner balance had gradually become unbalanced, as his old classmate knew quite a bit of information.

"No, Lao Zeng only said that you became a middle-level cadre in the factory. I heard about your deeds from others. You were promoted from the Security Department to the Logistics Department. You might even become the director in the future. You are very capable. I didn't realize it at the beginning~!"

Ouyang Yi's words were filled with a hint of respect and envy. In previous years, he might not have looked down upon these positions, but after losing everything, he realized that he had to look up to see these positions. As for work, among his classmates, it seemed that only Li Xuewen could handle it. The rich young master who used to stand tall had to bend his back now.

When Li Xuewen heard this, the balance in his heart completely collapsed.

Lao Zeng didn't even know that he had been promoted to deputy director this year. On his side, he was still the section chief last year. Moreover, he would take over the position of director in the future. These were the secrets of the factory. At least, they were not information that ordinary people could get at will, let alone Ouyang Yi who was out of town.

How did my old classmate know about this?
Who told him this news?
Could it be that the factory has really been infiltrated by a spy organization?

Thinking about it carefully, Li Xuewen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Now it seems that the purpose of this old classmate's visit is more than just finding a job.

"Well, it's not that exaggerated. The appointment of cadres is not so random. The organization also needs to examine them. It's not up to me alone~!"

His pace involuntarily quickened. Li Xuewen didn't know if there were other spies watching him in the dark. He was eager to get upstairs as soon as possible. If it weren't for Li Feng's reminder, he might not have noticed these details at all.

Now, from the details he observed, he had realized that there was a high probability that his old classmate had betrayed him.

Since he has betrayed us, just arrest him directly. There is nothing to talk about. There is no room for negotiation on this issue. Li Xuewen has a family and it is impossible for him to get himself into trouble just because of a classmate relationship a few years ago.

"I know the hope is slim, but I am satisfied to meet an old classmate like you. So, I won't bother you anymore. Let's get together again when we have the chance~!"

Li Xuewen's explanation gradually changed its meaning when Ouyang Yi heard it.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

He doesn't want to help, and it's not convenient for him to help. Isn't he the one who has the final say in the factory?
Ouyang Yi only heard this implication. He knew his own situation and now he understood clearly that Li Xuewen really worked in the same unit as his brother-in-law.

Ouyang Yi paused at the door of the unit. He didn't want to go upstairs anymore. Going upstairs to eat at someone's house would mean continuing to be shameless and asking for help, but the other person also said that this would be difficult.

For the sake of his family, Ouyang Yi could bend down, but his pride would not allow him to kneel down. They were old classmates on the upper and lower bunks!

Maybe a little disappointed, but when Ouyang Yi came from Qing D, he knew that the hope was not great.

Now that he knew that his brother-in-law worked in the same unit as him, Ouyang Yi really couldn't bring himself to cause trouble for others. What he would lose would not only be his own face, but Jiang Defu would also not be able to hold his head up in front of Li Xuewen.

Although he looked down on Jiang Defu, a rough man, Ouyang Yi was not that selfish~!

"Want to run? No, what's wrong with you? We're already downstairs. Don't waste time. Your sister-in-law is upstairs. The meal is ready. Come up with me~!"

Li Xuewen realized that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry. He would not give Ouyang Yi a chance to leave. He grabbed his right hand and walked upstairs without saying a word.

"Xue Wen, I'll come see you again when I'm free~!"

Li Xuewen forced Ouyang Yi to stay, but Ouyang Yi didn't want to trouble his old classmate anymore and insisted on leaving. For a moment, the situation looked a little funny, just like when friends and relatives politely invite someone to dinner during Chinese New Year.

"No, you have to come up with me today, Third Brother Yi. If I let you run away, how will I sleep peacefully in the future? Come up!"

After all, he had some physical strength reserved from his time as the security chief. Under Li Xuewen's "hard to refuse" invitation, Ouyang Yi had no choice but to go up to the third floor reluctantly with a blushing face.

He didn't know what was waiting for him behind the door.

Li Xuewen pushed the man into the house and shouted anxiously inside...

"Get started~!" (End of this chapter)
