Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 120 Xu Damao Gets Beaten Up (Part Two)
Upon hearing these foul words, Yan Jiecheng stepped forward again and slapped Xu Damao once more.

Unlike last time, this time Yan Jiecheng slapped Xu Damao on the other cheek, and the slap knocked Xu Damao to the ground.

Keep in mind that this is right at the entrance of the security department's office building.

At this moment, many people in the building, having heard the commotion, were quietly watching everything through their windows.

Even the newly arrived section chief, Nie Mingyuan, was no exception.

Yan Jiecheng didn't care about this at all. He went straight to Xu Damao's side, grabbed his hair and said something.

"Xu Damao, do you think that just because you've climbed up the social ladder, you can act all high and mighty in front of me?"

Seeing Yan Jiecheng humiliating him like this, Xu Damao spoke harshly and sternly.

"Yan Jiecheng, you just wait, I will never let you get away with this!"

Yan Jiecheng grabbed Xu Damao's hair and said in a low voice.

"Oh, I originally just intended to teach you a lesson, but since you've put it that way, you're forcing me to take things to the extreme?"

"Let me remind you, do you remember when you were arrested by the security department before?"

Upon hearing Yan Jiecheng mention this matter, Xu Damao's heart skipped a beat, and he said with some panic.

"Isn't this all in the past?"

Yan Jiecheng sneered.

"The past is yours to be past if I let it pass; if I don't let it pass, it will be your death warrant."

"When you were arrested, the timing of your divorce didn't match up. Given the current situation, do you think anyone would believe me if I said I suspected your divorce from Lou Xiao'e was premeditated?"

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he paused for a moment, patted Xu Damao's face, and continued.

"Xu Damao, would you like to try the taste of a bullet?"

Startled by Yan Jiecheng's words, Xu Damao's expression immediately changed, and he forced a smile as he spoke.

"Jiecheng, look, your brother was just joking with you, why can't you understand?"

Seeing Xu Damao's expression, which was more like a grimace than a smile, Yan Jiecheng looked at him sarcastically and said.

"Oh, it was just a joke? I was just joking with you, Brother Xu. You're not angry, are you?"

Xu Damao quickly waved his hand and said.

"How could I be angry? With our relationship, why would I be angry?"

Just as Xu Damao was speaking, there was a loud slap, and Yan Jiecheng slapped Xu Damao again.

After beating Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng looked at the stunned Xu Damao with a gloomy face and said.

"Xu Damao, consider this a lesson. If you dare to mess with me again, I guarantee you, I will make sure you die a horrible death, and even the Heavenly King himself can't protect you."

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he turned and left.

After Yan Jiecheng left, Xu Damao's men stepped forward and helped Xu Damao up.

Xu Damao covered his face, looking warily at the security office building in front of him.

After a long while, he finally spoke to his subordinates.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go back."

At this moment, a team member stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"Captain, what do we do about Sha Zhu?"

Xu Damao turned his head and looked angrily at the man.

"Find any place and lock him up."

After saying that, he quickly left the place.

The team members looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to leave with Sha Zhu.

Xu Damao had lost face so badly that even if Yan Jiecheng threatened him, he couldn't swallow this insult.

After wandering around the office for a while and weighing his options, Xu Damao finally went to Li Huaide's office. After Xu Damao finished reporting the events to Li Huaide, omitting some details and adding some embellishments, Li Huaide was not as angry as Xu Damao had expected.

In Li Huaide's view, it's a good thing that his subordinates have conflicts. If they were united, he would be worried so much that he wouldn't be able to sleep.

Li Huaide looked at the disheveled Xu Damao and forced a smile as he spoke.

"Alright, Da Mao, you and Jie Cheng are both my right-hand men, give me some face, let's just let this little thing go."

Seeing that Li Huaide had no intention of making a decision for him, Xu Damao immediately put on a mournful face and said...

"Director, Yan Jiecheng didn't hit me at all. He clearly doesn't respect you. If he's not punished this time, he'll definitely become even more aggressive in the future."

How could Li Huaide be so easily provoked by Xu Damao?

However, Xu Damao is still very useful to me, so I can't ignore his feelings.

After thinking for a moment, Li Huaide picked up the phone and dialed.

"Hello, I'm Li Huaide."

……

"Jie Cheng, come to my office right now."

……

After Li Huaide hung up the phone, he looked at Xu Damao and said.

"Da Mao, you go ahead and do your work. Don't worry, when Jie Cheng comes over later, I will definitely give him a stern talking-to."

Although Xu Damao was still somewhat unwilling, seeing Li Huaide's expression turn from sunny to cloudy, he could only nod in fear and agree.

After receiving Li Huaide's call, Yan Jiecheng didn't dare to delay and quickly went to Li Huaide's office.

Upon seeing Yan Jiecheng, Li Huaide pointed at him with annoyance and said...

"You brat, what can I say to you? You're a deputy section chief now, how could you hit someone?"

Faced with Li Huaide's criticism, Yan Jiecheng quickly took out a cigarette and lit it for Li Huaide. Then he said with a big smile.

"Boss, your criticism is correct. I will definitely pay attention next time."

Li Huaide frowned.

"Do you want a next time?"

Yan Jiecheng quickly waved his hand and said.

"There won't be a next time, boss. Don't worry, I guarantee there will absolutely not be a next time."

Hearing Yan Jiecheng say this, Li Huaide's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.

"Jie Cheng, Nie Mingyuan has been in the security department for a while now. How has he been doing?"

Yan Jiecheng felt a tightness in his chest. Regardless of the relationship between Nie Mingyuan and Li Huaide, no one would like someone who criticizes their leader.

Yan Jiecheng considered for a moment before speaking.

"Director Nie is very well adapted to the working atmosphere of the Security Department, and everyone is very supportive of his work."

"Oh? I heard that Zhou Yiping is very dissatisfied with Nie Mingyuan? And that the departments under his supervision are all outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant towards Nie Mingyuan? Is that true?"

Yan Jiecheng originally thought that Li Huaide had called him over because of Xu Damao's matter.

I never imagined that Xu Damao's affair was just a cover-up, and the real purpose was actually Zhou Yiping.

Although I only have a nodding acquaintance with Zhou Yiping, I have to be honest, Zhou Yiping is a pretty good person. Why should I kick him when he's down?

After thinking for a moment, Yan Jiecheng said.

“Sir, Zhou Yiping is a veteran in the security department. Why would he target Director Nie? That’s just his personality.”

Li Huaide was clearly not satisfied with Yan Jiecheng's answer. He stared at Yan Jiecheng for a while before speaking.

"Oh? Is that true?"
