Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu
Chapter 1228 Inquire, Inquire
He Yuzhu thought of many possible reasons why Lao Li invited him to dinner, such as Xu Damao's matter, or maybe he just wanted to reminisce about the past.
However, he didn't expect that after Lao Li toasted him a few glasses of wine, he asked him if he knew anyone from a certain research institute.
There weren't a few people at the table today, just Lao Li and He Yuzhu having a drink.
Even when Ma Hua heard that the master was coming, he came in to say hello, but Lao Li didn't even think of letting him stay as a guest.
This would have been impossible for the well-mannered Mr. Li in the past.
He Yuzhu glanced at Lao Li, and there was no change in his expression.
He Yuzhu didn't say anything. He was thinking about how to answer this question.
Of course he knew about the so-and-so research institute, which was actually just the name that Lao Lu and his group called themselves to the outside world.
It is called a research institute, but actually it does not research anything.
He Yuzhu asked softly: "Old leader, can I ask you why you are asking this?
Are you asking this yourself or are you asking this on behalf of someone else? "
After He Yuzhu said this, Old Li also understood what was going on. It seemed that he had not chosen the wrong person.
Old Li's face still showed a hint of nervousness. He glanced at the door and although there was clearly no one in the room, he still whispered: "Zhu Zi, I won't hide it from you, and don't think too much about it.
It's a friend of mine in the south who was approached by someone there to talk. I'm not sure what's going on here, and I know you have a lot of connections, so I wanted to ask you for help.'
Lao Li's words seemed a little humble, but there was nothing he could do.
If he were targeted by people from that department and something really happened, even his father-in-law wouldn't be able to protect him.
Although Lao Li did not explicitly say what department the certain research institute was, people on the streets of Beijing knew very well who they could and could not mess with.
Basically, people in Lao Li's position will not be afraid of any unit that can be properly checked in the workplace.
What I’m afraid of is the units that appear to be idle.
That kind of place is most likely a place that sells dog meat under the guise of mutton.
Otherwise, why would a research institute in a former city go to the south to talk to You Fengxia?
After the conversation, You Fengxia rushed back to Beijing overnight.
When Lao Li was told about this, he asked a few of his good friends about it, but he couldn't find out what unit it was.
This really scared Old Li.
The key point is that he didn't dare to tell his father-in-law about this matter, let alone go out and eavesdrop.
Otherwise, even though it would have been fine, after he told his father-in-law, he might have killed his own relatives for the sake of trouble.
After thinking about all the relationships around me, probably only He Yuzhu might be related to those mysterious units.
He Yuzhu was also a little confused. He knew about Xiao Lan and he also knew about You Fengxia, but he really didn't know that these two were involved.
No matter how close Lao Li was to him, he would never tell He Yuzhu about his mistress, let alone You Fengxia's business in the south. He Yuzhu knew this because Lao Lu told him.
But it was only limited to the situation when You Fengxia's parents got into trouble.
"How come the affairs in the south involve you? If it's convenient for you, tell me in detail. You should also know that in departments like those, even if I know a few people, I can't ask about things randomly." He Yuzhu said a little embarrassedly.
In fact, He Yuzhu was not that embarrassed. Given his relationship with Lao Lu, he could just make a private phone call and ask. If Lao Lu could tell him, he would not doubt it.
If I can't tell him, I won't reveal a single word.
But since we have a favor to offer, we can't just make it sound easy.
Old Li was also a little embarrassed. He still didn't know the reason for this.
He had no idea how deeply involved he was.
To be honest, when He Yuzhu confirmed that he knew someone from a certain research institute, Old Li was a little shocked.
The first thing he thought about was whether this was a trap set by He Yuzhu. Of course, Lao Li put this suspicion behind him in an instant.
If He Yuzhu really wanted to plot against him, he would not have admitted in front of him that he knew someone from that unit.
Old Li hesitated for a while, but finally told He Yuzhu the truth.
"A friend of mine runs a small business in the local pigeon market. She used to have a partner who came from our city.
Come to think of it, you also know..." Old Li naturally wouldn't say You Fengxia, but He Yuzhu knew who the friend Old Li was talking about was as soon as he heard it.
To be honest, He Yuzhu was a little bit amused and helpless. The key point was that he couldn't explain this matter yet.
This is how Lao Lu and his team investigated Xiao Lan's past and found out about You Fengxia.
He Yuzhu knew the whole story, but he couldn't speak.
Since this matter involves Lou Xiao'e's preparations, no one will believe He Yuzhu.
If He Yuzhu said that he knew about this and that it was related to the arrangement for Xiao Lan.
Then who knows, Mr. Li might think of Lou Xiao'e.
Although He Yuzhu never told Lao Li about the affair between Tan Yali and Lou Xiao'e, it is still unclear whether Lao Li knew about it or not.
The key point is that now that Old Li knows about it, he will definitely not go out and talk nonsense.
But when the storm was over, Lao Li ran away.
It is said that in his previous life, Lao Li had also been to Hong Kong Island and had engaged in smuggling televisions for a small business. Although Lao Li said that those machines were confiscated, only he knew the details.
No one knows what Lao Li went through in the meantime.
He Yuzhu frowned, thought for a while and said: "I can help ask about this matter to see if it involves Sijiu City.
I can’t ask about other things.”
He Yuzhu's answer was quite standard and he stated his intention clearly, which was to help find out whether Lao Li was implicated.
As for his friend in the south, He Yuzhu couldn't guarantee it.
This is similar to what Lao Li expected.
He and He Yuzhu have been friends for many years, and they have a good relationship both in public and in private.
It would be reasonable for He Yuzhu to ask around for him.
But He Yuzhu has no such obligation towards You Fengxia.
The south side is too close to the sea, and it might involve places like Wanwan.
No matter who you are, you don't want to be involved in those things.
Old Li raised his glass, stood up and said to He Yuzhu with a smile: "Zhuzi, I toast you.
I would be very grateful if you could help me with this.
As for other matters, we should stay out of it if we can.
Don't worry, I have nothing to do with that place."
They are all thousand-year-old monsters, so it is normal for them to have hidden meanings in their words.
Just like what He Yuzhu said just now, it is obvious that Lao Li must be involved with the South.
Otherwise, people like Lao Li already know that the certain research institute is a difficult unit to inquire about, so why would he ask He Yuzhu about this matter?
And what Lao Li just said is exactly what he meant.
Regardless of the past, he will definitely think about breaking up in the future. (End of this chapter)
