Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Although He Ping was a step slower in rushing into the courtyard with his men, and was resisted by Lao Qi and others, He Ping and his men were all retired soldiers. Moreover, each of them had experienced dozens of battles. They were very experienced. Although they were caught off guard at the beginning and two people were injured, they quickly stabilized their position under the command of He Ping. In addition, the people who went out from the back door were blocked by Huang Ying and others. Without hostages, and being attacked from both sides, Lao Qi and others who had no hope of escape could only choose to surrender.

Huang Ying led the group to He Ping and said, "Instructor, two were killed, and none of the others escaped."

"Instructor! There are children in the east and west wing rooms and the east wing room. But they have all been fed medicine."

"What a bunch of bastards!" He Ping cursed and said, "Huang Ying, you take your men here to protect these children. I will go back to the station now and report to my superiors. Ask them to send someone to help."

"Yes!" Huang Ying responded, and after watching He Ping leave, she sent two people to the room with the child to take care of the child. Then she led the rest of the people to search the courtyard.

An hour later, Huang Ying heard the brake sounds of several trucks. Huang Ying immediately led two people to the door and saw He Ping and Zhang Hu getting off the truck. Huang Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Hu walked in front of Huang Ying and asked, "Are you okay?!"

Huang Ying replied: "It's okay!"

Zhang Hu said, "We've already contacted the Public Security Hospital. Get the child on the truck quickly."

"Yes!" Huang Ying responded and immediately arranged things.

After the children were sent to the truck, Huang Ying took out two booklets that she had just found under the pillow on the kang in the main room and handed them to Zhang Hu and He Ping, saying, "Director, instructor, one of these two books is the account book of the human traffickers, and I don't understand what the other one is."

Zhang Hu and He Ping each took a booklet and flipped through it. Zhang Hu said, "I didn't expect these people to have been human traffickers before liberation." Then he asked, "What's written in your book?!"

He Ping did not answer, but flipped through the booklet in his hand again, feeling that there was something wrong with it. Suddenly, when he was turning the pages, a piece of paper folded up. He Ping instantly understood what was going on. After folding it a few times, He Ping finally deciphered the content on a page of paper, and said with a smile: "This gang of human traffickers is not simple. This book contains the contact information and address of their downstream buyers." After that, He Ping looked at Huang Ying and said: "Girl, I didn't expect that you have already made two contributions in just a few days since you came to our station. If you keep doing this, I guess the two of us will have to give way to you."

Zhang Hu said, "Now is not the time to chat. Old He, take your men to send the children to the hospital. The girl and I will go back to the station to interrogate those people."

"Okay! Then let's split up!" After that, He Ping told Zhang Hu and Huang Ying how to decipher the booklet, and then he got on the truck with his men.

Watching the truck leave, Zhang Hu arranged four people to be on duty here, and then took Huang Ying and the rest of the people back to the public security station.

Although Lao Qi and the others knew their fate, they were still afraid when they really faced death. At the beginning, when they were interrogated, each one was more stubborn than the other. However, when the mouth of a man named Liu Zi was pried open, the others confessed their own affairs one after another, except Lao Qi and Mei Gu who were still stubborn.

After a night of interrogation, Huang Ying dragged her tired body out of the interrogation room. Huang Ying just took a sip of water and saw Zhang Hu coming out of the interrogation room. She asked, "Uncle Zhang, how is the interrogation going?!"

Zhang Hu replied, "We have tried every possible means. The guy called Lao Qi just won't talk." Then he asked, "How are things going over there?!"

Huang Ying replied, "Same as you. The one called Mei Gu didn't say anything either."

Zhang Hu then asked: "Is there any news from the hospital?!"

Huang Ying replied, "Before I interrogated Mei Gu, the instructor called from the hospital and said that the children were all fine. He will be back after handing over to the person sent by the bureau." Then she asked, "If Lao Qi and Mei Gu won't talk, what should we do next?!"

Zhang Hu said: "What else can we do?! Our mission has been completed. As for the rest, we just have to wait for the bureau to send someone to take over."

"Oh!" Huang Ying responded sullenly, and suddenly remembered the man she saw talking to Lao Qi in the tavern, and reminded him: "Uncle Zhang, the man who talked to Lao Qi in the tavern has not been caught yet."

Zhang Hu said: "Even if we know where that person is, it's useless because we have no evidence. Even if we catch him, we can just give him a lecture."

Huang Ying asked: "Are we just going to let it go like this?!"

Zhang Hu said: "It's not that we have given up. Someone will take over the next task."

Huang Ying compromised helplessly and said, "Okay then!"

Zhang Hu smiled and said, "There's still a lot of time to go. Don't worry about these things. It's getting late. Go back and have some rest!"

"Hey!" Huang Ying responded, yawned, and said, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. I'm really sleepy now. I'm going back to the dormitory and take a nap."

On the other hand, when Huang Ying went back to the dormitory to sleep, Jia Dongxu, who was waiting to make money, got up from the bed. After a simple wash, he took a cold steamed bread and went out. He arrived at the meeting place agreed with Lao Qi. Jia Dongxu waited and waited but Lao Qi did not come. Seeing that he was about to be late for work, Jia Dongxu had no choice but to go to work first and then go to find Lao Qi.

Because Lao Qi didn't show up in the morning, Jia Dongxu always felt uneasy, and even when sweeping the floor, he couldn't clean it up. After being scolded by the squad leader several times, Jia Dongxu felt better. But it wasn't much better. A little after three o'clock in the afternoon, Jia Dongxu found an opportunity to go to the infirmary to take a sick leave and left the factory early.

Not long after Jia Dongxu walked out of the factory gate, He Yuzhu and Transportation Section Chief Sun Guoqing also rode out of the factory on bicycles. Because Sun Guoqing lived in a tube-shaped building not far from the steel mill, it only took Sun Guoqing about ten minutes to take He Yuzhu home.

After all, he is the head of the transportation department, and the drivers who go out on the road often bring him things. Sun Guoqing's house is a three-bedroom and one-living room layout. The kitchen is not big, but it is small but complete. He Yuzhu took a look at the things in the kitchen and asked, "How many people are there tonight?!"

Sun Guoqing replied, "Fifteen in total, young and old." He then added, "The old man is from Jiangsu Province."

"Okay! I have an idea. Just leave it to me and rest assured!" After saying that, He Yuzhu took out a bib and sleeves from his bag, put them on, took out a kitchen knife, and started to work.

A little after five in the afternoon, Sun Guoqing saw that everyone had arrived and invited them to the table. Dong Dajiang, Sun Guoqing's father-in-law, who was sitting in the middle seat, looked at the cold dishes on the table and asked, "Guoqing, which chef did you invite today?!"

Sun Guoqing replied, "He Yuzhu, the chef in our factory."

Sun Guoqing's brother-in-law Dong Biao picked a quarrel and said, "Second brother-in-law, I really don't know what to say to you! In the past, when our father celebrated his birthday, we always hired famous chefs from the city. Why did you hire the chef from your factory? Isn't this too cheap?!"
