Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 240
  After glancing at the workers who were about to reach the factory gate after getting off work, and then turning to glance at the three guards coming out of the security room, He Yuanchao said with some confusion: "Where is Li Jiefang? Isn't he in the room?"

The three people standing at the door glanced at each other, and then a young guard came up to He Yuanchao with a smile and said: "He is in the room, section chief, and the kid who was liberated has been mysterious since lunch and after dinner. Do you know what to poke at?"

As soon as the young guard finished speaking, He Yuanchao felt flustered for no reason, and his right eyelid twitched twice uncontrollably.

"You guys just keep your eyes peeled. I'll go in and see what Li Jiefang is doing."

After saying that, He Yuanchao didn't care about the embarrassed look on the young guard's face, turned around and walked to the guard room expressionlessly.

When he reached the door of the security room and opened the door, he met Li Jiefang who was about to leave the room.

"Section Chief, why are you here? You opened the door so suddenly that I was shocked."

Looking at Li Jiefang, who was a little flustered when he spoke, He Yuanchao ignored him. He waved his hand to indicate that he had something to say and entered the room to talk, then walked into the security room.

Seeing that the section chief was obviously angry, Li Jiefang did not dare to neglect. While closing the door, he approached He Yuanchao and carefully apologized with a smile: "Section chief, you just got married, why don't you go home early? sister in law……"

It was the rush hour after get off work, and He Yuanchao didn't want to waste time with him here. He interrupted Li Jiefang in a stern tone and said: "Don't talk to me about anything. What are you doing in the house? Didn’t you see it?”

Although Li Jiefang had some suspicions that he was trying to bluff him, looking at the cold eyes of his section chief, he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. Concealing and deceiving the leader were two different concepts.

Listening to the noise getting closer and closer outside the door, and looking at Li Jiefang, who was a little shy, He Yuanchao felt that it would be enough to add more fire.

"Why, do you still have to force me to do it myself?"

He Yuanchao's sudden voice frightened Li Jiefang, who was calculating the gains and losses in his heart, and his hand subconsciously touched the right pocket of the cotton coat.

"Section Chief, this matter..."

"Don't talk nonsense, take your things out quickly, don't let me say it again."

Seeing that he had missed the mark, Li Jiefang was a bachelor. He reached out and took out a copper part from his coat pocket and handed it to He Yuanchao.

Seeing what Li Jiefang took out and remembering what he said in the office that morning, He Yuanchao instantly understood what he was thinking.

Although Li Jiefang's method was a bit shabby, it was undeniable that this method was definitely the fastest effective. For a moment, He Yuanchao wanted to acquiesce to this matter, so as to add some trouble to Xu Wenhe.

But after thinking about it, He Yuanchao put this idea to death again. It's not that he wanted to be a bitch and build an archway at the same time. In fact, this thing is not cost-effective. If something goes wrong and a quarrel breaks out, he might be a fox. If I didn't catch him, I'd be in trouble.

This matter was a bit rough, but Li Jiefang's intention is still worthy of recognition. No matter how good his starting point is, he still needs to beat what needs to be beaten. We cannot get used to this stinky habit of making his own decisions. There is no telling when he will have to be led into a ditch.

Thinking of this, He Yuanchao glared at Li Jiefang fiercely, and then reprimanded him sternly: "I know you mean well, but what will you do if something goes wrong? Have you considered the consequences?

From now on, when doing things, you need to grow your brain and understand what you can and can't do. Don't worry about your head and body. "

After saying that, He Yuan pulled Li Jiefang away from him and walked towards the security room.

Looking at Li Jiefang, who was following He Yuanchao out of the security room with his head drooping, the security personnel outside the door who were checking on the workers after get off work also had different moods. Some were gloating, some were indifferent, and some were slightly guilty. of. “There’s nothing that can’t be solved by one meal of braised food and fire. If there is any problem, then two meals.”

Feeling that his words had secretly harmed Li Jiefang's young guard, he complained in his heart that he was short of mouth while gritting his teeth and thinking of a solution.

When the people who got off work were almost gone, He Yuanchao gave a few words to a few people before he got on his car and headed home.

I drove all the way home and just as the cart was about to enter the courtyard, I saw Li Xuewen's wife, Zhao Wenhui, looking panicked and hurriedly pushing the bicycle out.

Seeing this, He Yuanchao hurriedly got out of the way. Zhao Wenhui was not polite and nodded to him. After leaving the courtyard, she got on her car and hurried out of the alley.

After Zhao Wenhui walked away, He Yuanchao felt something was wrong. The bicycle the girl was riding looked so much like his wife's.

Although he was a little confused, He Yuanchao didn't yell. If there was some misunderstanding, how would we get along with each other in the same courtyard in the future? Besides, Li Xuewen's family wouldn't let his wife steal bicycles to supplement the family income.

After pushing the cart into the yard, he glanced under the window of his house. Sure enough, he didn't see Zhang Min's bicycle. His suspicion turned out to be true. He Yuanchao didn't think much about it, locked the bicycle, turned around and walked back to the house.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhang Min, who was sitting at the Eight Immortals table and reading a book, looked up and saw that his man was back. He put down the book in his hand with a smile and stood up and said, "I'm back. Wash your hands and eat quickly."

After looking at the food on the table and knowing that his wife was waiting for him, He Yuanchao smiled and continued: "You don't have to wait for me in the future, I don't have time to get off work..."

"Okay, don't talk about this. Take off your coat and wash your hands. The food will get really cold in a while."

While the two were talking, Zhang Min had already come to the stove, picked up the kettle, and started busy.

Seeing this scene, the corners of He Yuanchao's mouth turned up unconsciously. Who said that marrying a daughter from a rich family would definitely make her angry? It seemed that she had to find time to show off to Chu Cheng.

He casually hung up his coat, and while washing his hands in the basin filled with water, He Yuanchao pretended to be confused and said, "I didn't see your bicycle in the yard. How did you get back today? Did you take the bus?"

Zhang Min didn't know what was going on, and didn't think much about it. He said casually: "I'm riding back. The neighbor next door borrowed the car."

After saying that, I didn't know what I was thinking, so I added with a smile, "It was borrowed from our neighbor across the street."

This laughter sounds different from usual, and it feels weird. But without evidence, He Yuanchao can only pinch his nose to admit it.

Thinking about what kind of torture he would use to extract a confession that night, He Yuanchao said nothing, wiped his hands, sat at the dinner table, picked up the rice that Zhang Min had served, and started to eat it with his head down.

Zhang Min glanced at his man with a half-smile, and Zhang Min couldn't help but feel joking.

"Are you not at all curious about why she borrowed the car?"

Call it curiosity, it feels a bit like you are interested in someone else's wife, but if you're not curious, it sounds like you have a guilty conscience.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of chewing food, He Yuanchao raised his head and mixed up the topic and said vaguely: "Don't he have a car at home? Why did he come to borrow it from you?"
