The conspiracy of the courtyard

Old Xiao still had that aloof look on his face and remained silent. For a moment, the atmosphere fell into a moment of silence, with only the sound of heavy breathing echoing in his ears.

"I am Yinzi's uncle, do you think that counts? You dare to trip up the two kids, but you dare not admit it, you are a coward!"

The hoarse voice sounded again.

Lu Zixuan ignored the voice and sincerely apologized to Lao Xiao with gritted teeth:

"Sorry! Mr. Xiao, there is a moral education class about courtesy and respect in school. The teacher said that if you don't learn it well, you will become like the kid wearing open-crotch pants, stupid and ignorant! If you don't have anything important to do, I'll take my leave first."

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

"You little brat..."

"Wait, shut up!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, one hoarse and one majestic.

Although Lu Zixuan stopped, he did not turn around, leaving enough time for communication with the people behind him.

After a few breaths, Lao Xiao spoke:

“I believe that the common purpose of everyone gathering here is to solve problems rather than expand conflicts.

If there is any fault, it should be on both sides, and there is no need to say more.

Xiaoxuan, let's sit down and talk. Chief Xu is very sincere and has no intention of using his power or age to coerce you. Both parties are equal.

Comrade Xu, if you don't want the conflict to escalate, please choose to avoid it or remain silent. Section Chief Xu will consider this matter."

Since there was a step, Lu Zixuan followed Lao Xiao's force and turned around to sit on the stool opposite the sofa.

Uncle Xu glared at Lao Xiao fiercely, then leaned towards one end of the sofa in a sullen manner to show his compromise.

That majestic voice sounded again.

"Comrade, I apologize to your family for my son's reckless behavior!

Please state your request, and I will try my best to meet it as long as it does not violate the law and principles."

A flat and ruddy face, thick black hair, a distant smile and sharp eyes. This was Lu Zixuan's first impression of Section Chief Xu.

It is indeed very different from Uncle Xu's temperament. Although not as strong as Lao Chen described, he has a kind of oppression.

"You are too polite. I don't have any requests. I firmly believe that as long as your son is willing to put aside his prejudice, our family will be able to live smoothly."

Lu Zixuan responded with a faint smile.

After he finished speaking, he saw that Uncle Xu's breathing became heavier again. He wanted to speak again, but was stopped by a look from Section Chief Xu.

Then, Section Chief Xu's expression became more serious, with a hint of aggressiveness:

“Compensation is a must.

I heard that your family has changed jobs. What I mean is, there is no need to change jobs. I will handle the relevant matters.

how is it? "

Lu Zixuan naturally understood the meaning of this sentence, which was to make up for it with money in one go and help his family get promoted at the same time, but he wanted more than that.

He turned around and looked at Lao Xiao with a smile. The meaning was very clear: it was time for you, the middleman, to mediate.

Lao Xiao coughed lightly and said:

"Chief Xu, I know Xiaoxuan. Although he is young, he knows his limits and is not a greedy person.

If you have anything to say, just say it. We can discuss compensation later."

Section Chief Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Lao Xiao, then put on a polite smile and looked at Lu Zixuan.

"Haha... Then I will borrow the help of Section Chief Xiao and ask for advice from you, my friend regardless of age difference."

Although Lu Zixuan never asked about Lao Xiao's work unit and position, he was not completely unaware of it. He and Section Chief Xu were in the same unit and were both responsible for national security.

In fact, it is the National Security Bureau in the future. It is currently jointly managed by the public security organs and the investigation department. There is no specific unit name yet, and it is directly under the two top leaders.

It sounds powerful, but in fact he has almost no political capital. As long as it does not involve national security, his actual power is not great. However, due to the special national conditions at that time, his personal network is extremely extensive.

At first, Lu Zixuan had thought about asking Lao Xiao for help, but after learning about Xu Haoyin's background, he was afraid of complications and gave up the idea. But now that he has taken the initiative to intervene, that is a different matter.

From the conversation between the two, it can be seen that their relationship is not harmonious.

They may quarrel or even turn against each other, but never because of themselves.

Therefore, Lu Zixuan took over the conversation before Lao Xiao could even speak.

"You are too kind. How dare I flatter you, Mr. Xiao? I am just lucky to have received some advice from you. I really don't deserve your friendship regardless of age.

If you have any questions about the lives of the lower classes, feel free to ask me, and I will tell you everything I know."

Perhaps it was because Lu Zixuan's casual interruption made Section Chief Xu a little unhappy, and his smile faded a little.

"Hehe... This has nothing to do with the masses. I just want to ask you, young man. In your opinion, is there any conflict between my son and the kid from the Wei family?

It is really hard for us old guys to understand the thoughts of you young people. "

This... Lu Zixuan was completely confused. He shook his head and asked:

"Ah? Who is surnamed Wei? I don't know anyone surnamed Wei."

He thought to himself, "It seems that the investigation into Xu Haoyin needs to be further deepened."

Section Chief Xu was also suspicious. He frowned and looked at Lao Xiao and asked:

"Hmm? Secretary Hu reported that your friend set up a fight between the two of them. What's going on?"

"I don't know either. Secretary Li told me this morning that you asked Secretary Hu to notify me to come to your house to explain that Xiaoxuan deliberately arranged for your son to fight with the Wei family boy.

I just heard you say that and asked the driver to pick him up."

After Lao Xiao finished speaking, the two of them immediately turned their eyes to Lu Zixuan.

Lu Zixuan hurriedly explained:

"I really don't know anyone named Wei. I just thought you called me here to deal with the fight between Xu Haoyin and Cen Haitao."

"Wait... Are you saying Haitao's last name is still Cen? Wait a moment, I'll go ask Lao Wei."

Section Chief Xu immediately became anxious. He first comforted Lao Xiao and Lu Zixuan, and then immediately walked towards another room.

"..."

Soon, the two men hurriedly entered the Xu family. Section Chief Xu first sent Uncle Xu to the inner room to rest, and then invited the two men to sit down.

After Lu Zixuan looked at one of them, both of their eyes widened.

"Little Boss? Why are you here?"

"Brother Rong, why are you here?"

Then the two of them smiled and kept silent at the same time, signaling to each other to talk later.

"Old Xu, Old Xiao, this is Chief Wang's nephew, Fan Rong."

"Fan Rong, this is the person you are looking for, Section Chief Xu who is in charge of the Security Department, and this is Section Chief Xiao who is in charge of the Investigation Department."

"Xiaoxuan, this is Director Wei from the Office of the Ministry of Industry."

After a brief introduction to each other, Section Chief Xu personally prepared teacups and brewed tea.

This time, Lu Zixuan was also arranged to sit on the sofa, but Director Wei separated his seat from Fan Rong.

Section Chief Xu made eye contact with Director Wei and spoke:

"My dear nephew Fan, what brings you here?"

Fan Rong replied respectfully:

"A few days ago, we had some friction with your young master, so we specially asked Uncle Wang and Uncle Wei to act as intermediaries and come to apologize to you in person. Our purpose is the same as Xuanxuan's. Hehe..."

Section Chief Xu paused as he picked up the teacup and immediately became alert.

"He is just a useless boy, not worthy of being the young master that my nephew is talking about.

It must be a misunderstanding, just clear it up, come, have some tea, have some tea..."
