The conspiracy of the courtyard

As Lu Zixuan walked, he thought that based on the conversation between the two people who kidnapped him, he guessed that it was most likely Xu Fugui who ordered it, but he had no chance to meet outsiders.

Since the outsider's accent has not been assimilated into the local accent, it means that he has not been in Beijing for a long time, or he has no contact with outsiders, or both.

Looking at the two men's proficiency in kidnapping, it doesn't look like this is their first time committing a crime, so they must be veterans. However, based on their skills, they don't look like professional bandits or thugs.

If he came for money, then the money in the bag was not touched, which means that he was asking friends for help. Xu Fugui was just an ordinary worker and did not have the ability to make others work for him.

Lu Zixuan suddenly thought of the Lou family. If those two people were subordinates of the Lou family, then their origins could be explained clearly, but things would become much more difficult and require long-term consideration.

When I was lowering my head to think about how to deal with the situation, I suddenly heard a voice saying "Stop", interrupting my thoughts.

"Oh, you actually managed to escape from those two idiots. It's not easy. Did you set the fire in the yard? You're very brave. We won't use force. Please come with us."

Hearing this, Lu Zixuan suddenly looked up and carefully observed the person who was speaking in front of him. He was about 20 years old, thin like a bamboo pole, wearing an old military cap and an old military uniform without any insignia.

It was obvious at first glance that he belonged to the group of second-generation military personnel. Lu Zixuan was certain that he did not know this person, because he knew that this kind of people attached great importance to their social circles and did not like children like him who came from a staff compound.

Looking at the three people behind him, one is a fat man who looks a bit stupid, and the other two have their backs straight, they should be active-duty soldiers.

Although he couldn't guess their motives, the presence of soldiers meant that at least they had a bottom line and would not endanger their lives. At most, he would be hit by two punches and a few kicks. Lu Zixuan loosened his hands, which were in his pockets and tightly grasping the bag of lime powder, and chose to leave with them without resisting.

We walked in silence for half an hour and came to a small forest with all the trees stripped of their bark and leaves.

After receiving the signal from the skinny young man as he was leaving, the fat guy took out a piece of hemp rope from his green army bag, grabbed Lu Zixuan's lapel, and took him to a big tree to tie him up.

"Is this your attitude as a soldier? You are helping the evildoers, ignoring the kidnapping of a child and the crimes of lawbreakers.

How could such a disciplined team produce such scum among soldiers as you? Raise your hand and touch the badge above your head, and ask your conscience, are you worthy of being called a soldier?

If you are spies from another country, I despise your shameless behavior;

If you are the running dogs of the traitors, I will sneer at you;

If you are accomplices of the bad elements among the people, I should feel ashamed for you.

Do you know what the clothes you wear represent? They represent the trust of the people, the hope of the people, and the support of the masses, not the wolf skins you use to exploit the people.

With these young people without official positions, can they take all your sins? Can they suppress your evil deeds? Can they help you rise to the top?

Don't be naive. Even if their parents or grandparents can get you a position, do you think it will last long?

What a wise and intelligent leader has the most is manpower, and what he fears the most is giving others an advantage. You think this is an easy task and a good opportunity to curry favor with the leader.

But do you understand? This is also a stain on the leadership's promotion. A leader who wants to be promoted will not allow others to know his shameful past.

Dare to bet? What awaits you is definitely not high office and generous salary, but death in a foreign land. Are you ready to rush to the battlefield and serve as cannon fodder?

Have you ever thought that if I were a child from an ordinary family, someone would try every means to kidnap me? Even if your leaders gave me a position for my loyalty, would I or my family let you go smoothly?

People like you will never have a chance to succeed in your life. Do you know why? Because you don’t have a father. No, it should be said that you don’t have a good father who can let you enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Look at those comrades around you who have been promoted to high positions, which one of them doesn’t have a good family background?

So, if you let me go, even though I can't guarantee a bright future for you, at least I can save you from bad luck, how about that?

Well, since you guys are stubborn, don't blame me for making things difficult for your family in the future.

Let me guess whose subordinates you are so I can trip you up. Is your surname Chen? Ma? Zhou? Or Meng?

Haha… I understand. A regimental-level cadre killed a child because of a misunderstanding and for a rebellious son. He is really magnanimous…"

"That's enough. If you want to live, shut up!"

The roar from the black-faced military uniform stopped Lu Zixuan from cursing. Lu Zixuan tactfully lowered his head and kept silent. Anyway, he had already obtained the information he wanted.

The two sides confronted each other silently for an entire afternoon. When Lu Zixuan said, "I'm tired of standing," the two men in military uniforms gestured a few times and asked the fat man to untie him. Then they tied him to the tree and asked him to sit down. When he said, "I'm hungry," they fed him steamed bread. Anyway, he had to be tied to the tree.

After a whole afternoon of trouble, Lu Zixuan also realized that the fat man was a deaf-mute and was the main person guarding him. The two men in military uniforms were acting on orders and just watching.

How to get out? Lu Zixuan thought about it for an entire afternoon, but he had no idea. There was nothing he could do except wait for rescue. He could only pray sincerely in his heart.

[Mom, I really hope that you can perform beyond your normal level and show the mighty power of the heroine in my life. Even from thousands of miles away, you can sense the call in my son's heart and transform yourself into the Bodhisattva Guanyin who saves people from suffering.

Clad in flawless celestial robes and standing on colorful auspicious clouds, he commands the heavenly soldiers and generals to save me from danger.

Gods and Buddhas of heaven, Jade Emperor, Tathagata Buddha, please bless me and grant me strength, Amitabha, Infinite Heavenly Venerable, Amen...】

"Boss Lou, I know I was wrong. I just asked them to take him away to scare him. I didn't intend to hurt him. Really, if I had the intention to hurt anyone, God bless you."

Xu Fugui was in the cinema when he received a message from Du Guixiang. He did not dare to slack off, so he dropped his work, borrowed a bicycle, and rushed to Lou's house as fast as possible without even asking for leave.

As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down and kowtowed to Boss Lou. He did not dare to take any chances and directly admitted his mistake.

Boss Lou kicked Xu Fugui to the ground and ordered:

"Go get the driver and go pick up the child right now. If anything goes wrong, you'll be in trouble for your life. You are so brave."

Xu Fugui did not dare to hesitate. He got up and went to find the driver to rush to the dilapidated factory where Lu Zixuan was being held.

When he saw the yard full of weeds and ashes, Xu Fugui collapsed to the ground. After being reminded by the driver, he found a sturdy wooden stick with trembling legs, and began to clean up the yard in an attempt to open a road despite the heat and thick smoke after the fire.

Seeing the seriousness of the situation, the driver hurriedly left Xu Fugui behind and drove back to Lou's house to report.

After hearing the driver's report, Boss Lou did not dare to hide anything and informed everyone present and immediately dispatched personnel to rescue. Old Chen also hurriedly contacted his old comrades and asked for support.

When Chen Ping learned that Lu Zixuan might have died in the fire, she fainted on the spot and lost consciousness...
