Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

Lin Chen had Liu Haizhong and the others slow down for two reasons: first, to keep them going until sunset; and second, because Li Huaide was about to catch up.

Although this is targeting the Ji family, Director Yang can choose not to participate. However, Li Huaide must be included...

This guy has been too idle lately; he needs to get moving.

Who wins and who loses is not up to either of them; it all depends on Secretary Lin's mood.

The anger of Zhao Lichun and his ilk has already been ignited and no further fuel is needed, so the Siheyuan (courtyard house) cannot afford to suffer another crushing defeat every time.

Sure enough, just a few minutes after Liu Haizhong and his group slowed down, Li Huaide caught up on his bicycle, humming a little tune.

Li Huaide was eagerly anticipating the showdown between Ji Yunfeng and Factory Director Ma, and he couldn't be happier. But the group of people in front of him made him pause in surprise… Were these guys waiting for him?

"Hey? Guo Da Piezi, what do you mean by this? It's already this late, how come you've only just gotten here?"

As soon as everyone saw it was Li Huaide, they immediately surrounded him to greet him...

Chen Yanshi, in particular, had been grumbling about it all day; he really didn't want to participate. But he couldn't get out of it, and now seeing Li Huaide was like seeing a savior.

Before Guo Da Piezi could even explain, Chen Yanshi pushed the group aside.

"Director Li, we've finally met you! Feng Shigao and his men ambushed us today. You'd better be careful! His men are outside Dongzhimen..."

Li Huaide had long known that this was something Yang Weimin had orchestrated to target the Ji family and Factory Director Ma's group, which is why he wouldn't get involved.

"There's actually such a thing? You guys wait here, I'll go check it out up ahead. Damn it, how dare they bully my men..."

After uttering those harsh words, Li Huaide hopped on his bicycle and sped away, leaving the group of people staring at each other in bewilderment. They'd never seen Li Huaide act so boldly before; what was wrong with him today? Was he planning to run away?

Before Liu Haizhong and the other old guys could even start a commotion, Beiguode had already run far away.

Li Huaide pedaled nearly fifty meters before turning back to look at the people in the courtyard behind him...

"Pah! I knew what you were up to all along. You even tried to drag me into this... You guys can play by yourselves!"

And so Li Huaide happily headed towards the city.

The reason this guy didn't take the detour through Chaoyangmen was that he assumed Tong Zhi wouldn't dare to openly block his way.

……

Jiudaowanzi

Feng Shigao, along with about ten people who did odd jobs in the canteen, joined Tong Zhi...

"The people of Dazhuang are in your hands! They all don't get along with He Daqing, so let them deal with those cooks later."

After making the arrangements, Feng Shigao picked up his bicycle and was about to leave when Xiao Hu immediately blocked his way.

"Director Feng, you can't leave! Chen Shitou is with them at the courtyard house. If they start arguing, we won't be able to control him. Look, we don't have a single cadre here... we can't keep Chen Shitou in check!"

Xiao Hu directly blocked the wind-dampness plaster's escape route; Jiudaowanzi needed to find someone to take responsibility.

"Director Feng, don't worry. How about letting Brother Hu and Big Eyes protect you? All you need to do is argue with Zhao Lichun and Chen Shitou..."

Tong Zhi and Da Zhuang also tried their best to persuade the other party to stay.

"Director Feng, don't worry, with two people protecting you this time, you'll be absolutely safe. Besides, who in the courtyard would dare to hit you..."

Seeing that his side was strong and well-equipped, Fengshigao made up his mind to stay and play with them.

"No problem. It's a pity we won't run into that bastard Li Huaide this time, otherwise we could have easily beaten him up."

Just then, a young man shouted, "Quick, quick... Secretary Lin's car is coming! Hide quickly..."

Although these people weren't afraid of Liu Haizhong and his men, they were afraid of Secretary Lin. Given today's incident, it's best to stay out of the way...

The people from Jiudaowan immediately ducked into the groves on either side of the official road. They weren't afraid of the others, but they were genuinely frightened by Secretary Lin's words.

Secretary Lin is always cheerful and smiling, and I've never seen him punish anyone or lose his temper. But for some reason, everyone is afraid of him...

Lin Chen had already seen the other party and deliberately waited until Xiao Hu left Feng Shigao behind before coming over.

Only by scaring them into hiding can Li Huaide prevent them from taking a detour ahead of time. Only then can everything proceed smoothly...

Otherwise, Li Huaide would have seen Feng Shigao leading a group of men from afar, and that guy would definitely have taken a detour through Chaoyang Gate. Now it's different; two big fish have already been caught in the net.

After Lin Chen's car drove past, Feng Shigao shouted to the people across the street, "Everyone hide and don't come out! If you see the people from the courtyard coming, just catch them off guard..."

"Roger that!"

So Feng Shigao and his men simply hid outside Dongzhimen, while Yan Bugui met up with Fan Jinyou and Ji Cheng, who didn't work at the steel rolling mill, inside the city gate.

Among them, Sha Zhu's brother-in-law Li Dai Kui was the most eye-catching... He looked as big as two Yan Bu Guis, and today this kid was a great help to the courtyard.

At this moment, Ji Cheng sniffed a few times and then frowned.

"Where does Teacher Xu smell so bad? Did you two not wash your hands after get off work...?"

After smelling the stench, Cai Quanwu and the others quickly covered their noses...

Xu Kesi angrily pointed at Yan Bugui.

"Don't even mention it! Ask Lao Yan... he did it all."

Everyone looked at Yan Bugui, who was hiding in the corner: "Third Uncle, what are you up to? Did you fall into the toilet again today...?"

Seeing everyone mocking him, Yan Bugui scoffed. "You're the ones who fell into the toilet! You're all rubbish; nothing good can come out of a dog's mouth."

"Go away, what do you know... You'll all stop laughing at me later. I'm going to make sure that dung beetle has a good meal today. A few days ago, his wife actually rode on me and beat me. Let's see who can save him today."

The people in the courtyard on the inside of Dongzhimen have all gathered, and even Fan Jinyou has taken leave to come with Bald Chicken and Roast Chicken.

The roast chicken had been in the courtyard for over three months, but hadn't won a single battle. Every time, he'd just be dragged down with bad luck. This time, the young man had learned his lesson and was now following Fan Jinyou and Bald Chicken.

Li Huaide leisurely arrived at Dongzhimen, still humming a tune with no intention of stopping.

"Grandma's problems today are none of my business, you guys go have fun!"

Xiao Hu himself didn't know why he kept Feng Shigao. But Ma Han knew!

Everything was under Secretary Lin's control. Liu Haizhong and the others slowed down and let Li Huaide take the lead... This was the effect Lin Chen wanted.

Hidden in the grove, Feng Shigao was now amused. He had assumed Li Huaide had already finished get off work and gone to town. He hadn't expected him to only arrive at this hour…

"Quick, quick, stop that bastard... I didn't expect there to be a big fish here. Stop him for me. He's got guts, daring to go into battle alone at a time like this."

Xiao Hu was the first to rush out; his mission was to stop these two people. Even if Feng Shigao hadn't said anything, he would have rushed forward to stop them.
