Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 201

After chatting with Xia Shuliang for a few words, He Yuanchao just put down the phone, and Li Jiefang came up to him and said excitedly: "Section Chief, since we have the grandson's address, let's leave now?"

"How are you going? Are you holding on to your legs?"

After He Yuanchao smiled and teased Li Jiefang, he picked up the phone on the table again and called the transportation department of the factory.

After hearing He Yuanchao's teasing words, Li Jiefang didn't take it seriously. He listened carefully to the section chief's request for a truck from the transportation department, and responded with gestures to his colleagues who were winking at him with a smile.

"Chief Liu, that's it."

Listen to the words and the sound of the gongs and drums.

When the security guards who were having fun in the room saw that He Yuanchao was about to hang up the phone, they immediately put away their playful smiles and, together with several others, looked at him.

He Yuanchao, who had put down the phone, immediately put away his smile when he saw this, and said seriously: "Comrades, before the truck from the Transportation Department arrives, I will simply emphasize two points."

With that said, He Yuanchao raised his hand and extended a finger and continued: "As soon as it is safe, as the New Year is approaching, everyone must protect their own safety when taking action."

Then, he stretched out a second finger and said, "Secret, if Li Debiao is not at home, we must not reveal our identities when asking, so as not to scare that kid."

"It's the section chief."

Everyone in the room answered in unison. Seeing that the section chief didn't move after he finished speaking, they thought they had other things to explain, so they didn't dare to move casually and continued to look at He Yuanchao intently.

Seeing this scene, He Yuanchao nodded with satisfaction in his heart, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't go on about anything else. Everyone, hurry up and check the weapons. Let's set off when the car comes. "

After saying that, He Yuanchao took the lead and sat on the chair in front of the desk, took out his pistol and started checking it.

As He Yuanchao finished speaking, everyone in the security room also found their own places, checking their weapons in a pattern, while whispering and laughing with the colleagues around them.

"Liberation, do you think we can stop Li Debiao's grandson this time?"

"I heard that Li Debiao was not the only one to take action this time. It would be great if two more of the helpers were caught. Taking advantage of the upgrade of the steel factory, maybe our brothers can also get some official positions."

As soon as he finished saying this, a young man surrounding Li Jiefang glanced at He Yuanchao who was sitting at the desk talking to Lao Wang, then turned his head and approached Li Jiefang and whispered: "Jiefang You and the section chief are the closest here, and the section chief didn’t reveal any inside information to you?”

"Why doesn't this grandson open any pot?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Li Jiefang muttered in his heart, and then smiled angrily: "I don't have the face to ask the section chief to tell me everything, why don't I take advantage of the section chief's presence? Would you like to try it here?"

After hearing Li Jiefang's words, the young man didn't take it seriously. He then smiled and said, "You are so shameless. I won't touch your eyebrows."

After saying that, he winked at the people next to him and said, "Brothers, why don't any of you go ask?"

"Fuck off..."

The few people here were talking lively when they heard the sound of brakes coming from the door of the security room. They didn't want to talk anymore, they put away the guys in their hands and stood up and looked out.

"Section Chief, the truck from the Transportation Section is here."

Li Jiefang glanced outside, then turned back excitedly and said to He Yuan who had already stood up.

He Yuanchao nodded to him, then glanced at the security guards in the room who had already stood up, and then asked with a serious face: "Are you all ready?"

"Ready."

"Okay, let's go then."

After hearing the powerful responses from the people in the security department, He Yuanchao nodded with satisfaction and took the lead to walk out.

After leaving the security room, He Yuanchao saw that the driver was a stranger, so he stopped talking. After a slight nod, he stood next to the truck and watched the security guards pedal.

After a period of physical training, and the fact that Li Jiefang called young guys in their twenties this time, everyone was very skillful when they got on the bus. After seeing the security guards standing in the carriage, how could they Only after Yuan Chao opened the door of the cab and got into the car.

Although the driver was young, he had obviously experienced this kind of battle. When he saw the security section chief getting into the car, he didn't waste any words. After asking for the address, he stepped on the accelerator and the truck roared towards the outside of the steel rolling mill.

"Do you think Section Chief and the others can catch someone this time?"

Looking at the truck driving out of the gate of the steel plant, a young security guard asked the colleague next to him with a frustrated face.

"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing? If you are lucky, you will be able to block people. If you are not lucky, you have to find someone."

"Okay, since we are not taken, it has nothing to do with us whether we catch them or not. We don't have to worry about them. If we have the time, we might as well go inside and warm up."

With that said, Lao Wang glanced at his colleagues around him, then turned around and walked happily to the door of the security room.

"As you say, if the first prize is given to me, I won't worry about it."

The young security guard said something to Lao Wang, and followed his colleagues into the house with a depressed look on his face.

At this point, although there were not many pedestrians and vehicles on the road, the truck was not going too fast because of the slippery road. Although He Yuanchao was a little anxious, looking at the driver who was driving the car attentively and steadily, he was not worried either. What can I say.

He raised his hand and looked at the time. It was already [-]:[-] in the afternoon. At this rate, it would be completely dark all day long when we arrived at Pen'er Hutong in the west part of the city.

"Chief He, don't worry. Once we pass this section of Chang'an Avenue, we can pick up the speed."

When the driver saw He Yuanchao looking at his watch, he guessed that the security section chief was anxious, so he explained with a smile.

"It's okay, master, safety first."

After hearing He Yuanchao's insincere words, the driver smiled and said nothing more. He held the steering wheel tightly, stepped on the accelerator slightly, and increased the speed slightly.

By the time the truck from the steel rolling mill arrived at the intersection of Baizhifang East Street and Pener Hutong, it was already completely dark. As soon as the driver parked the truck against the roadside, the eleven security personnel in the truck started to They all jumped out of the car eagerly and walked towards the door of the cab.

He Yuanchao came out of the cab, glanced into the dark alley, and then looked at the people in the security department who were stamping their feet. When he saw that everyone stopped moving and stood up straight, he didn't say anything nonsense and led the crowd. Everyone with excited faces entered Pen'er Hutong.

Arriving near the entrance of the courtyard at No. 25 Baizhifang East Street, He Yuan looked around and saw that the courtyard was surrounded by walls. There was only one alley in and out, so he waved to Li Jiefang.

"You tell me what tasks the section chief has, and I will ensure that the tasks are completed."

Li Jiefang came to the front, and before He Yuanchao could speak, he whispered excitedly.

He Yuanchao glanced at Li Jiefang with a smile, and without any nonsense, he said directly: "Jiefang, go in first and check to see if Li Debiao is at home. Don't act rashly. Pay attention to safety. Remember, shoot if you encounter danger. ,Do not hesitate."

"It's the section chief." After agreeing, Li Jiefang, who was smiling broadly, turned around and ran towards the entrance of the courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, Li Jiefang took a look at the messy environment in the courtyard through the weak lights in the windows of each house, and then walked into the courtyard.

While carefully avoiding the debris around him, Li Jiefang searched for Li Debiao's home according to the address provided by the Chengxi Branch.

"Young man, you are not from this courtyard, right? It's so late, who are you looking for?"

Hearing the sound, Li Jiefang turned around and saw a thin woman in her 50s behind him looking at him warily.

"Why is this man's walkway so quiet? There's no movement at all. I'm shocked."

Li Jiefang murmured in his heart and said with a smile: "Hello comrade, I'm here to find a man named Li Debiao."

When she heard that she was looking for Li Debiao, the thin woman said with disgust on her face: "Li Debiao is not at home, you should leave quickly."

After saying that, the thin woman turned around and left.

Seeing this, Li Jiefang pretended to be miserable and said, "Auntie, please wait a moment."

Hearing Li Jiefang's words, the thin woman stopped, turned around and said angrily: "Didn't I tell you that Li Debiao is not at home? If you don't believe it, go to his house and see for yourself."

"Auntie, when will he be home? It's almost the Chinese New Year right now. He owes me 30 yuan and he still hasn't paid it back. My family is still using this money to celebrate the Chinese New Year?"

As Li Jiefang spoke, he walked up to the thin woman.

Hearing this, the thin woman looked up and down at the frowning Li Jiefang. After seeing a line of white words on the chest of his cotton-padded jacket, her expression softened.

Although she is illiterate, she also knows that those with words on the chests of their clothes are basically workers in the factory. Looking at Li Jiefang's appearance, he doesn't look like a loser. He is probably an honest person who was tricked by Li Debiao.

Thinking of this, the thin woman glanced around and then whispered: "Young man, I'm telling you the truth. Li Debiao is really not at home. Even if he is at home, I'm afraid you won't get your money back."

"Auntie, when will he come back? My family can't even open the pot, so we are relying on this money to survive."

Looking at Li Jiefang, who was so worried that he was about to cry, the thin woman sighed and said: "My child, it's really not that my aunt won't help you. Not to mention that I don't know when he will come back, even his family may not know."

"Oh! What can we do? There are six or seven people in the family waiting for this money to eat."

After muttering something, Li Jiefang asked the thin woman expectantly: "Auntie, do you know where he usually goes? Is there anyone in our courtyard who has a good relationship with him? Whether he comes back or not, I You have to find someone to try it!"

"This aunt really doesn't know that except for him, there are only people in the courtyard who are going through life, so who would want to associate with him! Besides, it's useless for you to find him alone!"

"Auntie, just do it. If you know, just tell me. I must get the money back."

The thin woman looked at Li Jiefang, who was still a little unwilling to give up, and said anxiously: "Hey! Why don't you young man listen to my advice?
That kid Li Debiao has a dark heart. Don't let him get hurt again if you don't get the money back. Listen to my words, go to the police as soon as possible, maybe they can get it back for you. "

After listening to the thin woman's words, Li Jiefang pretended to think for a while, and then said with a face full of reluctance: "Thank you, aunt, please tell me where his home is. I'll take a look. If it doesn't work, I'll listen to you." Go to the police."

After listening to Li Jiefang's words, the thin woman thought that since Li Debiao was not at home anyway, the young man would not be beaten, so she sighed and said: "Auntie knows your mood, and you won't give up even if I don't let you take a look. Come on, my aunt will take you there."

With that said, the thin woman walked towards the courtyard and motioned to Li Jiefang to follow her.

After passing through the middle courtyard and arriving at the entrance to the backyard of the large courtyard, the thin woman stopped, pointed to the two houses near the east wall and whispered: "That's Li Debiao's house, go and see for yourself. "

After saying that, the thin woman hurriedly turned around and walked back without waiting for Li Jiefang to speak.

Knowing that the thin woman was afraid of causing trouble, Li Jiefang was not in a hurry to move. After he could no longer see the thin woman, he walked to the door of Li Debiao's house.

bang bang bang...

Li Jiefang knocked on the door and asked, "Is Brother Li at home?"

"Come on, come on, stop knocking"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of Li Debiao's house creaked and was opened by a young man about 20 years old.

After taking a look at the unfamiliar Li Jiefang standing at the door, the young man asked with some confusion: "Who are you? Which Brother Li are you looking for?"

After glancing at the young man at the door, Li Jiefang showed a flattering look and said, "I'm looking for Brother Li Debiao. Is he at home?"

"He's not here, and this isn't his home."

As he said that, the young man made a face and prepared to close the door.

"Wait a minute, little brother, this address was told to me by Brother Li Debiao. It can't be wrong. Has he moved?"

Li Jiefang asked anxiously while reaching out to push the door that was about to be closed.

"You don't understand. We don't know Li Debiao. If you want to find him, go look for him elsewhere. This is not his home. Don't come here again."

After saying that, he raised his arm and pulled Li Jiefang's hand on the door.

"Little brother, you..."

Before Li Jiefang finished speaking, he was interrupted by a voice coming from the room. "Si'er! Who is it? Why don't you let people come in to talk?"

After giving Li Jiefang a silent expression, the young man responded with a smile: "Mom, it's no one. You're looking for the wrong place. You should rest quickly."

As soon as the young man finished speaking, Li Jiefang stretched his neck and shouted into the room: "Auntie, I am a friend of Brother De Biao. I am in a hurry, so I came to see him at home. Please let me come in to talk... …”

"What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you that this is not Li Debiao's house? What are you talking about? You should leave quickly, or I'll call the police."

With that said, the young man with an angry look grabbed Li Jiefang's hand on the door and pulled it down hard.

"Si'er! Since I'm here to see your third brother, let someone come in."

Just as Li Jiefang was fighting with the young man, the woman who had been silent for a while spoke up again.

"I know mom."

After giving Li Jiefang a stern glance, the young man turned sideways to let Li Jiefang enter the room, while warning him in a low voice not to talk nonsense.
