Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 450 Route
Does Li Yancheng have any leverage?
It can be said that he has always been very cautious over the years. Even when Zhu Yongyang sent him those scarce daily necessities, he always paid according to the market price.

At work and in life, he has always been very low-key. It can be said that apart from the Shanghai-licensed sedan he is driving now, he almost never does anything that crosses the line.

Even if we deal with certain generations, we are just casual acquaintances, after all, we are not on the same line.

And the car he was driving was clearly awarded to him by the higher-ups. If one really wanted to deal with him, they would have to find another way.

And Zhu Yongyang is that path.

That person was planning to set a trap for Zhu Yongyang, and then let those generations find out that Old Zhu had actually overstepped his bounds and snatched food from their mouths, and then wait for Li Yancheng to come forward to rescue Old Zhu.

In this way, they can throw dirty water on Li Yancheng and bring him down. As for why they do this, there are certainly other reasons.

Here, when Zhu Yongyang guessed that Lao Liu, or the person behind Lao Liu, wanted to use him to bring down Li Yancheng, a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his back.

He stood up and handed the child in his arms to his wife.

"Yunhua, you stay home and look after the kids. Call the eldest and second child back and let them go to bed early. I'll be out for a while."

Fan Yunhua knew what her husband was going to do and nodded: "Go ahead, I'll go out and call the children now."

The little boy was playing with his beard in Lao Zhu's arms. When his mother took him away, he had nothing to play with. He was somewhat unhappy and shouted "ah ah". He opened his arms towards Lao Zhu and arched his body, wanting to go to his father.

"Hey, you little brat, mommy can't hold you."

"Ah...ah..."

The little boy was unhappy and pouted as if he was about to cry.

"Oh, that's all right, good baby, don't cry, daddy will hold you."

When Zhu Yongyang, who was about to push the bicycle, saw that his youngest son was about to cry, his heart immediately softened. He stopped pushing the bicycle, turned around and took his son from his wife's arms.

"Okay, Yunhua, I'll carry my son over there."

As soon as the little guy got into his father's arms, he immediately started giggling again. Fan Yunhua was so angry that he rolled his eyes at his son and poked him lightly on the forehead with his finger.

It's strange to say, she gave birth to three children for Lao Zhu, the eldest is a boy and the second is a girl. Both children are very close to her as their mother. When they could not walk, they could play with Zhu Yongyang at home, but she would not let him go out alone with them in his arms.

But the third child, who is not even one year old, is different. This little guy is particularly attached to his father. When he just came out of the confinement period, he had to be coaxed by Zhu Yongyang after feeding before he would fall asleep obediently.

When she heard her husband say that he was going out with the child, Fan Yunhua raised her wrist to check the time.

"Mr. Zhu, it's already past eight o'clock. The kids should be asleep."

"It's okay, I'll hold you while you sleep, you can take care of the other two."

After saying that, Zhu Yongyang carried the child out of the yard.

It takes nearly half an hour to walk from his home to Meishan East Hutong, so he has to hurry.

……

By the time he arrived at Li Yancheng's house, it was already nine o'clock. His little son, who had been held upright when he left the house, was now fast asleep in his arms.

Seeing that the light at the Li family’s front door was still on, Zhu Yongyang breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward to ring the doorbell.

In the house, Li Yancheng had just asked the two children to finish washing up when he heard the doorbell ringing.

He was a little curious, why were there still people coming at nine o'clock?

"Cheers, laughter, you two go into the house and go to bed. Daddy will go see who's here."

"Good dad!"

"I know dad."

He had originally planned to go out wearing the cross-body vest, but after opening the door, Li Yancheng thought it was inappropriate, so he turned around, took the shirt from the clothes hook behind the door, and put it on as he walked out.

When he walked to the front door, opened it and saw who was outside, the look of surprise on his face became even more intense.

"You were... kicked out of the house by your wife?"

"What a joke, I have a good relationship with my wife." Zhu Yongyang, who was holding the child outside the door, was so angry that he laughed. What kind of person is this? Why doesn't he wish others well?

"Then what are you..."

Li Yancheng was still a little dazed. He could understand that Lao Zhu came to find him, and there must be something wrong, but why did he come here with a sleeping child in his arms?

"This brat insisted on following me when I went out, and he fell asleep just as he walked out of the alley where I live. I was too lazy to send him back, so I just carried him here."

"Okay, come in. You too, don't you see what time it is and you're still carrying a child out? Come on, let me hold the child."

Zhu Yongyang's youngest son is almost nine months old. His family is well-off, and the little boy is plump and weighs about 20 kilograms. Old Zhu has been holding the child horizontally in his arms all the way, and his arms are indeed a little sore. Seeing that Li Yancheng was about to take it, he quickly handed it to him.

"Oh my, this brat is getting heavier the more I hold him."

"Haha, are you here for something?" After taking the child and watching Old Zhu close the gate, Li Yancheng turned and walked towards the backyard.

"Something's wrong, Dacheng. This is not a small matter."

"Is it a big deal?" After hearing this, Li Yancheng, who was walking in front, paused and turned to look at his old classmate who was following behind him.

"What's going on?"

Zhu Yongyang did not dare to hide anything and told him everything about the man named Liu who came to see him tonight, and also told him the analysis he and his wife had done.

After hearing what he said, Li Yancheng's brows instantly wrinkled into a "川" shape.

He also understood that the old man was definitely planning to set a trap for Zhu Yongyang, but at the same time he was a little confused. There must be people who hate him. He is not a soft girl currency that everyone likes. But if there are people who hate him so much that they are willing to set up a trap to bring him down, he really can't imagine who else it would be except those criminals.

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it and let others figure it out.

This kind of thing was actually easy for him to solve. After thinking about it for a while, he reached out and picked up the phone next to the sofa and dialed it.

Zhu Yongyang sat on another single sofa and watched Li Yancheng's actions without saying a word. He knew very well that some things might seem difficult to handle in his eyes, but in the eyes of this old classmate, it was nothing more than a matter of a phone call.

"Hello, Liangzi, it's me, Li Yancheng."

"Oh, it's Brother Li. I was wondering why there was a magpie calling in the tree in front of my house early this morning. How come there hasn't been any happy event all day? It seems like it's supposed to happen in the evening."

"Haha, you are such a good talker. It would be a shame if you don't promote it."

"Haha, thank you Brother Li for the compliment."

Nowadays, the receivers of many telephones are like those on speakerphone. The sound is so loud that Zhu Yongyang, who was listening to it, twitched his lips.

He knew who was on the other end of the phone. If he wanted to get coal, whether it was for industrial use or for residential use, he had to find this guy.

This guy named Liangzi has always regarded this piece of meat in his mouth. If anyone dares to snatch the meat from his mouth, he will pounce on them like a mad dog. But if you have given a heads-up in advance and are willing to share some of the benefits, then it will be fine. For these people, what they want is face and what they seek is benefit.

"Liangzi, I'm calling because I have something I need your help with."

"Brother Li, if you have something to say, please tell me. Please or not, brothers, please don't be so polite."

Liangzi's full name is Xiang Yongliang. He has an older sister named Xiang Xiaoqin. His sister's husband, who is also his brother-in-law, is named Luo Jun, the eldest son of the Luo family and Luo Yang's eldest brother.

Both husband and wife worked in that artillery unit. Xiang Xiaoqin was a military doctor and Luo Jun was already a division-level cadre.

The Luo and Xiang families are relatives, and the relationship between Li Yancheng and Xiang Yongliang is very good.

"It's like this, Liangzi. I have an old classmate here who is in urgent need of a batch of industrial coal. The quantity is not small. Do you think it's convenient for you?"

"Brother Li, it's just this matter. I didn't think it was a big deal. No problem. Brother Li, just ask your old classmate to come to the Municipal Coal Bureau to see me tomorrow."

"Okay, so be it."

"Okay, Brother Li, let's sit together some other time when you have nothing to do. I heard that Yangzi is going to work at the grassroots level. It will be inconvenient for us to get together now that he's gone."

"Then let's go to next week. I'll organize a party."

"Okay, I'll be waiting."

"Beep...beep...beep..."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yancheng looked at Zhu Yongyang and said, "Tomorrow morning around nine o'clock, go directly to the Municipal Coal Bureau to find Xiang Yongliang and tell him that you are my old classmate. Tell him how much you need. As for the price...whatever he says is the price. With my relationship, he will definitely not quote a random price."

"Okay." Old Zhu nodded, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart.

He could find a way to get industrial coal, but it would definitely not be so easy to do with just a phone call.

"Old Zhu, I can make arrangements for you to get those construction materials and steel. When the time comes, you can give the note to that Liu and ask him to find a way to pick up the goods and take them away.

In the future, no matter if someone is causing you trouble or something, just keep going. I will have someone watching you these days, so don’t worry about your safety.”

"Dacheng, I've never worried about whether you're safe or not. I came to see you today just because I was afraid that I'd implicate you again."

"Don't worry." Li Yancheng waved his hand nonchalantly. "I want to see who dares to take advantage of me. By the way, Lao Zhu, the one with the surname Liu you said is the director of the city's anti-scalping office? What's his full name?"

"My name is Liu Yugui, and he's the deputy director."

"Okay, I'll contact someone for the construction materials and steel tomorrow. I'll call you when the time is right. Go get the note. Once you get it, don't rush to give it to that Liu. Wait ten days before contacting him."

"I see."

"Well, it's getting late. I won't keep you here." Having said that, Li Yancheng turned his head to look at the little boy from the Zhu family who was lying on the double sofa, sleeping soundly under his coat.

"I'll drive you back."

"No, no, I can just walk back with the baby in my arms. I'll be home in half an hour."

"It's okay. I'm not going to sleep yet anyway."

"Those two in your family..."

"They are all asleep. It only takes about ten minutes to drive there and back. It's no problem."

……

By the time Li Yancheng sent Zhu Yongyang and the children back and drove back home, it was already ten o'clock. Just like when he went out, the two children were sleeping soundly in their own rooms.

After looking after the children, he sat down on the sofa in the living room and lit a cigarette.

He didn't tell Zhu Yongyang just now that he had some suspicions that the person behind the Liu might be targeting him this time, and Old Zhu was just an innocent bystander affected by the fire.

Who is it?

The simplest way is actually to summon the man surnamed Liu to the bureau, and then he will personally conduct the trial, and everything will come out.

But the man behind Liu could come up with such a way to set a trap and bring him down. I think he is not an easy person to deal with. It would be bad if he alerted the enemy.

So his plan was to eat the fish food thrown by the other party and see what the guy was going to do next.

The most crucial point is that it is not certain whether the other party is coming for him or the Luo family.

So, he decided to be safe.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

After figuring out what to do next, he stood up and walked to his study on the second floor, picked up the red phone on the table and dialed.

The phone rang a few times before being picked up, and Su Xiaotong's voice came from the receiver.

"Hello, I'm Su Xiaotong."

"Xiaotong, it's me."

"It's you, Dacheng. It's so late, I thought it was a call from the duty room." Hearing that it was Li Yancheng calling, Su Xiaotong on the other end of the phone was obviously relieved.

"Hehe, I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"

"I haven't slept yet. I just finished a case and am writing the closing report. What's up?"

"It's like this. Just now my old classmate Zhu Yongyang came to see me and said..."

Li Yancheng did not hide anything from Su Xiaotong. He told him the whole story and included his own analysis at the end.

"Xiaotong, I just can't figure out whether the other party is coming for me or my father-in-law, so this is my plan. If he sets a trap, I will set one too, and see who takes the bait first.

I'd like you to send someone to investigate that Liu first and find out who he is working for this time."

"No big deal. I'll arrange for someone to check on him tomorrow morning. But Dacheng, I think the other party is most likely targeting Uncle Luo."

"why would you say so."

"I had a chat with my old man last night. You should know that we are still arguing about what the last name should be. We can't agree on it."

Su Xiaotong didn't finish his words. Although the phone they were using was a confidential number with a high level of security, it was only relative. Some things were not convenient to say on the phone.

But Li Yancheng understood, and these words enlightened him. The dispute over which direction to take has always been a battle of swords and spears.

Mr. Luo is now very determined to follow his own path. No matter what his surname is, he must make the best use of his strengths and overcome his weaknesses.
