Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Is Chapter 575 really resolved like this?

"It's okay, I'll get a rope and tie you up. Just bear with it and it'll pass."

Seeing the fear on Luo Guofu's face, Li Guoqiang straightened his expression and earnestly made a promise.

Luo Guofu: "."

Honestly, you'd be better off not saying that!
Now that I've told you, I'm even more scared.

How much pain must it have been for them to tie me up?

Seeing that Luo Guofu dared to glare at him, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but retort somewhat irritably:

"What are you looking at? If you hadn't gone and provoked so many people back then, would you be suffering like this now?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Guofu immediately wilted.

After all, he was the one who caused this mess, so he can't really blame anyone else.

"Alright, you should get some rest soon! I estimate that the toxins in your body will take effect soon, and he will come looking for you soon. The sooner we catch him, the more at ease you will be."

Li Guoqiang waved his hand and then whispered a word of advice.

"No, bro, is this reliable or not? He has a gun!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Guofu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly grabbed Li Guoqiang's arm, asking with a worried expression.

"It's alright. Even if he has a gun, or even if he has a cannon, I can still catch him."

Li Guoqiang raised an eyebrow and then answered with a confident expression.

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Guofu's face was full of doubt.

If it were about seducing women or pricking people with needles, he could believe Li Guoqiang was very capable. But if it were about catching people, he really couldn't believe Li Guoqiang had that ability.

"real!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, then said somewhat irritably, "You're my brother, do you think I'd joke around with your life?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Guofu felt a little more at ease.

Although he and Li Guoqiang are half-brothers, after so many years of friendship, he is still 100% certain that Li Guoqiang would not harm him.

As for why Li Guoqiang didn't tell him what method he was using, he could understand. He guessed that Li Guoqiang was afraid that Li Guoqiang would leak the information and let that person find out.

Soon, urged by Li Guoqiang, he went back to the gatehouse to sleep.

After seeing Luo Guofu off, Li Guoqiang immediately ran back to the room where Li Dawei and Yao Meilan were staying and comforted them gently.

In fact, to put them at ease, he even performed a magic trick in front of them.

"How...how did you do that?"

Yao Meilan stared wide-eyed at the pistol that suddenly appeared in Li Guoqiang's hand, and then asked somewhat haltingly.

Although Li Dawei didn't say anything, his face showed a shocked expression.

"Ha! This is just a little trick of magic."

Li Guoqiang chuckled softly, then gave his hand a slight tremor.

The next moment, the pistol vanished into thin air in front of Li Dawei and Yao Meilan.

Seeing this amazing scene, Li Dawei and Yao Meilan were shocked, but they were also able to relax a little.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang immediately seized the opportunity to reassure them, saying, "Besides this little trick, I will also find someone to help, so you don't need to worry so much. In a few days, I will be able to catch that enemy agent."

"Alright! Then you all must be careful."

Li Dawei and Yao Meilan exchanged a glance, realizing that what is meant to be will be, and ultimately reluctantly agreed.

Before we knew it, it was the next morning.

Originally, according to the itinerary, Li Guoqiang was supposed to visit Zhen Hexiang's home to offer his condolences, but now he has no choice but to secretly follow Luo Guofu to protect Luo Guofu's safety and, incidentally, catch that rat in the gutter.

In addition, to avoid alerting the enemy, he also instructed Li Dawei and Yao Meilan to remain unchanged.

Even he himself took the time to show his face at Xiangmizhai.

This continued until the evening of the third day.

Luo Guofu had just delivered the last letter and came out of a large courtyard when his expression suddenly became somewhat strange, and then he slowly became anxious and uneasy.

Just as he was about to give a signal to call out Li Guoqiang, a middle-aged woman in her thirties, dressed in polyester and with some good looks, suddenly rode past him on a bicycle.

And she quickly said to him:
"If you want the antidote, then follow me!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Guofu was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized that this woman must have been sent by that man.

This situation made him feel a little panicked for a moment. He looked around and found that there was nothing else happening. He hesitated for a while, but finally decided to trust Li Guoqiang.

Soon, he got on his bicycle and followed her. Not long after, he followed the middle-aged woman into a rather secluded alley.

"Come on! I'll inject you with the antidote right now!"

The middle-aged woman took out a syringe from her pocket and then coldly urged Luo Guofu on.

Upon seeing the syringe, Luo Guofu's eyes flashed with desire. He then hurriedly followed Li Guoqiang's instructions, frowning as he questioned:

"Who exactly are you? Why should I listen to you?"

"You don't need to know who I am. All you need to know is that without this antidote, you'll be living a life worse than death!"

The middle-aged woman's expression turned cold, and then she waved the syringe in her hand at Luo Guofu.

"I do not believe!"

Luo Guofu shook his head, his face revealing a mixture of fear, worry, and apprehension.

Seeing Luo Guofu's dawdling, the middle-aged woman grew impatient and slowly began to approach him.

Seeing this, Luo Guofu retreated while secretly hoping that Li Guoqiang would send someone over as soon as possible.

Little did they know, Li Guoqiang was using the vision of his small world to teleport and search the vicinity, trying to find the man Luo Guofu had mentioned earlier. Before long, his thorough search led him to a bearded man who was smoking in a repair shop while waiting for his bicycle to be fixed.

Although the other person's beard, hairstyle, and even height did not match what Luo Guofu had said, because of the all-pervasive vision of the small world, he was able to immediately discover that the other person's beard and hair were disguised.

So, with the idea of ​​better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free, he immediately appeared behind the man while the mechanic wasn't paying attention and grabbed him hard.

The next moment, before the man could react, he knocked him unconscious and took him into the small space, leaving only a cigarette that had quietly fallen to the ground and was still smoking.

He then quickly searched the vicinity several times. After confirming that he had not found any other suspicious persons, he suddenly appeared behind the middle-aged woman who was about to turn and leave. Using the same method, he knocked her unconscious and dragged her into the small space.

Immediately afterward, before Luo Guofu could react, he heard Li Guoqiang's voice.

"Hey, what are you spacing out for? Hurry up and come back with me."

"No, where is that woman? Where did she go?"

Luo Guofu looked at one end of the alley and then at the other, his face full of astonishment.

As he vaguely remembered, the middle-aged woman had suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Could this be the legendary "disappearing person" phenomenon?
"Alright, don't worry about that. Come back with me and let's get to know the person."

Seeing Luo Guofu's expression, Li Guoqiang had no intention of explaining to him and immediately urged him again.

Seeing this, Luo Guofu was about to ask a few more questions when Li Guoqiang glared at him and stopped him.

In addition, his health was deteriorating, and in the end he had no choice but to obediently follow Li Guoqiang's instructions and ride his bicycle back to the courtyard house.

Not long after, when he followed Li Guoqiang into the back room next to the courtyard gate, he was suddenly startled by the two figures inside who were tied up.

When exactly were these people brought here?
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go check if it's the person who poisoned you?"

Seeing that Luo Guofu was somewhat stunned, Li Guoqiang immediately kicked him and then urged him in a deep voice.

"Oh!"

Luo Guofu snapped out of his daze and, not daring to waste any time, hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look at the man who was still unconscious.

However, perhaps because the other party had also put on some pretense before, no matter how he looked at it, he still felt somewhat uncertain.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang frowned slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go out now!"

"elder brother"

Upon hearing this, Luo Guofu was about to say something when Li Guoqiang glared at him, silencing him.

Left with no other choice, he could only follow Li Guoqiang's instructions and turn to leave.

After he closed the door, Li Guoqiang immediately waved his hand, pulled the two people lying on the ground into the small space, and then splashed a bucket of cold water on their faces.

Not long after, the other person slowly woke up from unconsciousness.

Then, when they saw Li Guoqiang, they were stunned for a moment, clearly indicating that they knew him.

"Now I can give you a chance to confess and receive leniency. Who wants to speak first?"

Seeing their reactions, Li Guoqiang didn't stand on ceremony and directly made his request.

However, they didn't seem to understand the current situation and just looked at Li Guoqiang with disdain.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang didn't waste any words. He immediately waved his hand, dug a pit for them, and then put a bunch of snakes, insects, and rodents into it.

Soon, cries of alarm and screams erupted from the pit.

Just as you and those snakes, insects, and rodents were about to crawl into their mouths, they finally couldn't hold on any longer.

"I said, I said!"

Upon hearing their pleas for mercy, Li Guoqiang had an idea. He instantly collected all the snakes, insects, and rodents, then quickly filled the pit back up, allowing them to lie back on the ground.

Such miraculous methods made them look at Li Guoqiang as if he were a god.

"Speak! My patience is limited. You'd better promise me you won't lie to me, or you'd better pray you die soon."

Seeing their somewhat worshipful gazes, Li Guoqiang's expression turned cold. He then whispered a warning and waved his hand to separate the two of them.

Perhaps because Li Guoqiang's methods were too frightening, or perhaps because they admired the strong, they soon obediently revealed all their details.

As it turned out, Li Guoqiang had not arrested the wrong person; the man was indeed the one who poisoned Luo Guofu, and was also Liu Xiaoli's supplier.

After discovering that Liu Xiaoli had been exposed, he even suspected that she had been arrested. After living in fear and living a quiet life for more than half a year, he gradually began to have some doubts about Liu Xiaoli's disappearance.

In order to eliminate the hidden danger and to find out the truth about Liu Xiaoli's disappearance, he used the middle-aged woman and two other subordinates to conduct a secret investigation.

The investigation quickly uncovered some of the people Liu Xiaoli had been in contact with before her disappearance.

Then, after a series of screenings and eliminations, Luo Guofu, who had a somewhat mysterious older brother named Li Guoqiang, became their primary target, and that's when the rest of the story unfolded.

The reason they used poison to control Luo Guofu was not only to test the effects of the toxin, but also primarily to turn Luo Guofu into a sufficiently obedient dog, so that they could gradually find an opportunity to subdue Li Guoqiang, Li Dawei, and others, and then take control of the rising star shop, Xiangmi Zhai.

Once all this is done, they can use Xiangmizhai to poison key figures and then slowly infiltrate the entire city of Beijing to complete their mission of subversion.

It has to be said that they had a pretty good eye; they just didn't expect Li Guoqiang to be such an extraordinary man.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Li Guoqiang immediately interrogated them to find out how they communicated with their superiors and subordinates, preparing to take down the entire organization behind them.

However, before that, he still needed to give Li Dawei and Yao Meilan a proper explanation to avoid them continuing to worry.

"Is that the solution?"

Shortly afterward, when Li Dawei and Yao Meilan heard Li Guoqiang say that everyone had been arrested, their faces immediately showed expressions of great surprise.

If Luo Guofu hadn't spoken up to corroborate their story, they probably would have doubted whether Li Guoqiang was joking with them.

You know, those were ruthless spies!
How come it seems that in Li Guoqiang's eyes, this is no different from street thugs?
"That's right, the matter has been resolved, and it shouldn't happen again in the future."

Seeing Li Dawei and Yao Meilan's reactions, Li Guoqiang felt a slight smile in his heart, then nodded earnestly and began to comfort them.

Then, before Li Dawei and Yao Meilan could ask anything, Luo Guofu's face suddenly turned deathly pale, his breathing became very rapid, and he collapsed to the ground.
