Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Chapter 957 Entrustment
Classmate Xiao Lan’s life is not so miserable in this life, but it is certain that he has been implicated by Comrade Nie.

Originally, after he graduated from university, Lao Yang trained him as a potential talent.

With the help of his uncle Lao Nie, who was able to give him a push at the critical moment, Xiao Lan had a bright future at that time.

Old Nie later got into trouble, which meant that Xiao Lan's path to advancement was blocked.

But at that time, although Xiao Lan was not able to move up, she was still able to live a decent life.

Comrade Lao Nie’s relationship with the Lan family has never been made public, and the second uncle of little Lan listed in the Lan family’s household registration is also in a “missing” status.

Even Old Nie knew about his own hidden dangers. Even after he held a high position, he did not go out of his way to take care of the Lan family.

For example, it was Old Nie who advised Xiao Lan to take the college entrance examination, but Xiao Lan was able to pass it entirely because of his own ability.

Before liberation, Old Nie joined our side, and the Old Lan family severed ties with him.

After sorting it out, it seems that Xiao Lan and Lao Nie have nothing to do with each other.

Even though Xiao Lan cannot go up, he feels quite comfortable being his little leader in the workshop.

Even after Liu Haizhong came to power, Xiao Lan wanted to make a comeback by relying on Liu Haizhong's relationship.

After all, college students are indeed talents in this era.

If Mr. Li wants to take full control of the steel mill, he will definitely need talents.

This time, Xiao Lan got into trouble and was implicated by Liu Haizhong.

When searching for the hidden wealth of the Liu family, Xiao Lan and other families who were once Liu Haizhong's apprentices were still affected.

Then, instead of finding any wealth, they did find a few old photos.

There are photos of the young Lao Nie and his brothers, and there are photos of the middle-aged Lao Nie holding a naked baby.

The key point is that people of this age have a very bad habit.

In order to avoid forgetting when a photo was taken over time, people like to write the year, month, day and location on the back of the photo.

This exposed the Lan family.

There is nothing else to say. According to the timeline, Comrade Lao Nie returned to the Lan family after his betrayal, and they may have even been in contact all along.

In this day and age, if something like this happens, who else will be unlucky if not the Lan family?

Xiao Lan certainly knew nothing about anything, but her parents were very troubled.

This time, the old couple of the Lan family were sent back home with their breath hanging on. Little Lan’s mother died that night.

But Xiao Lan refused to swallow the breath and just stared at the door.

Xiao Lan is almost thirty years old, and he is in a very miserable state at this time.

At most, Liu Haizhong was beaten a few times by the workers, but if Xiao Lan was not strong, he might have died like his father.

Xiao Lan knew the seriousness of the situation and had been gritting his teeth and saying that he had not seen Lao Nie since liberation and did not know the relationship between Lao Nie and the Lan family. Otherwise, whether he could come out now was still uncertain.

This is also related to the fact that Xu Damao and others did not delve into the matter deeply.

Xiao Lan has been suspended from his job now, but he works at the steel mill after all.

Xu Damao had received a lot of education from He Yuzhu. For example, when it came to matters involving human lives, he would show leniency and not force people to death.

Of course, Xiao Lan’s parents were taken to the street and did not receive such good treatment.

This is also the origin of the Lan family's current situation. Liu Haizhong walked hurriedly, but a little cautiously, avoiding passers-by, especially young people.

It finally took half the time than usual to reach the Lan family.

Although Liu Haizhong is bad to outsiders, he is still affectionate to people around him.

When Xiao Lan saw Liu Haizhong, her knees went weak and she knelt down directly in front of Liu Haizhong.

"Master, why are you here?" Comrade Xiao Lan asked in surprise with tears in her eyes.

Unlike what Liu Haizhong said, Xiao Lan did not beg Liu Haizhong for help. Only a few senior brothers who had a good relationship with Xiao Lan secretly gave some money to the Lan family, and then mentioned it to Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong looked at Xiaolan who was kneeling in front of him and sighed in his heart, but still bent down and helped Xiaolan up.

He asked Xiao Lan, "How are your parents?"

"My mom was just taken away, and my dad's situation is pretty bad too." Xiao Lan said dejectedly.

"Why don't you send him to the hospital? Do you have no money? Why don't you come to me if you don't have money?" Old Liu glared at Xiao Lan and subconsciously wanted to kick her.

Xiao Lan did not dodge, but wiped her tears and said: "The hospital refused to accept him, so I asked a doctor I know to see him, and the doctor said that my father had internal injuries.

It’s better to let him walk at home.”

Old Liu was also shocked. Although Liu Haizhong thought that the Lan family's misfortune was only a matter of time, it had nothing to do with him.

Even when he was in that position, there were people spreading rumors in the factory, saying that Old Nie had a connection with the Lan family, but Liu Haizhong stopped them on the grounds that there was no real evidence.

This is blatant favoritism. Among the things Liu Haizhong did in the past, how many of them have real evidence?
It can be said that Liu Haizhong has a clear conscience regarding the Lan family's affairs.

But who was the cause of the Lan family's trouble? Was it Xu Damao and his people who were tracking down the wealth that might be hidden in his bangs?

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him, but now it made Liu Haizhong feel very upset.

Liu Haizhong was silent for a while, but said, "I'll go see your father."

Old Liu walked into the inner room, and the smell inside was needless to describe.

Under the dim light, Lao Liu sat in front of the bed and called out twice in a low voice.

"Master Lan, old brother... I'm Liu Haizhong, I'm here to see you..." Following Liu Haizhong's call, Comrade Lan woke up. He didn't say a word, but stared at Liu Haizhong in a daze, with tears as big as beans sliding down from the corners of his eyes.

Liu Haizhong didn't dare to look at the bruises on Lao Lan's body. He was very experienced in this area.

When he dealt with others, he always did it ruthlessly.

Sometimes they use various means to cover up the scars.

For example, there is no visible bruise on the surface, but it will not heal unless you lie down for a month or so at home. It turns out that Liu Haizhong has done this many times.

Old Lan tried to raise his trembling hands upwards, trying to grab something.

Lao Liu reached out and held it.
Old Lan looked towards the door curtain with dull eyes again. Liu Haizhong understood and called Xiao Lan in from outside.

Old Lan was breathing heavily, staring at the beams above his head with lifeless eyes, trying to gather the last bit of strength left in his body.
Finally, Lao Lan didn't know where he got the strength from, but he grabbed Liu Haizhong's hand tightly. He tried hard to sit up with his upper body. Liu Haizhong understood and reached out to support him.

Veins were clearly visible on Old Lan's neck and face. He pointed at Little Lan and said with the last bit of strength left in his lungs, "Let's go!"

After saying that, Lao Lan turned his head and stared at Liu Haizhong blankly, muttering to himself, but no other words came out.
