Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

While Li Huaide and the other two were constantly making associations, the culprit of tonight, Comrade Sha Zhu, had already run back home and was tossing and turning in his bed.

"Damn it, Liu Haizhong, just come back from the movie. Why are you pushing Xu Damao's cart when you have nothing better to do? And why isn't anyone fixing that streetlight?"

Sha Zhu cursed quietly in his mouth. He didn't dare to speak loudly for fear of being heard by others.

The first time he tried to knock someone out with a club, he failed. This was a big blow to Sha Zhu.

Chapter 118 Sunday

Especially since the knockout attack failed and was seen by Xu Damao and others.

"I covered my face, so Xu Damao shouldn't be able to recognize me. Yes, how could that fool Xu Damao recognize me? I was just too worried. Go to sleep."

Sha Zhu closed his eyes, wanting to have a good sleep. But as soon as he closed his eyes, Xu Damao's smug face unconsciously emerged in his mind.

In Sha Zhu's mind, Xu Damao was sitting opposite him triumphantly, surrounded by his comrades from the security department, while he, He Yuzhu, was locked in a chair awaiting trial.

"No!"

Sha Zhu suddenly woke up, sweat breaking out on his forehead. Sha Zhu got out of bed and poured himself a glass of water.

"Brother, you're awake! Someone from the security department just came and said Liu Haizhong was attacked by gangsters. They told us to pay attention and be careful on weekdays. If we encounter any suspicious people, we must report them immediately."

He Yushui pushed open Sha Zhu's door.

"Okay, I understand. Go back to sleep."

He Yushui didn't notice why Sha Zhu was not surprised at all when he heard that Liu Haizhong was attacked by gangsters, as if he had known about it for a long time.

Sha Zhu was lying on the bed, feeling uneasy. He was very scared. Although he had covered his face, what should he do if Xu Damao recognized him, or Liu Haizhong recognized him?

I wonder if I'll be arrested and thrown in jail? I haven't even married yet, and I don't have any children. If I get arrested, what will I do?

Sha Zhu thought about this in fear all night until the sun rose.

Sha Zhu, who hadn't slept all night, looked a little haggard, with two big dark circles under his eyes.

"Silly Zhu, what's wrong with you? Why do you have such big dark circles under your eyes?"

Qin Huairu, who was washing her face by the faucet, was also surprised when she saw Sha Zhu's appearance.

"Sister Qin, I'm fine. I just couldn't sleep last night because I was worried about the criminals."

Sha Zhu washed his face thoroughly with cold water, and he felt somewhat more awake, and his headache was no longer as severe. A night of panic and sleeplessness had left him exhausted.

Fortunately, today is Sunday, so Shazhu doesn’t have to go to work and can have a good sleep.

Xu Damao dressed neatly and dressed himself up.

Today he made an appointment with Lou Xiaoe to go out on a date and watch a movie.

Although Jiang Fan told him the dangers of marrying into the Lou family last time, and Xu Wude also realized the inappropriateness of this behavior, the matter had already been decided and they could not go back on their word.

Xu Damao also took it easy. Since he couldn't resist, he might as well enjoy it. Maybe he was lucky and nothing bad would happen. So he took today's date very seriously.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e met in the square. The tenth anniversary was about to arrive, and the decoration here was particularly grand.

Many people came here spontaneously to help on Sunday. Everyone was full of passion and enthusiasm. There were red flags flying, crowds of people, loud gongs and drums, and firecrackers.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were both affected by the warm atmosphere and were very excited.

Xu Damao thought of the criminals last night and told Lou Xiaoe to be careful recently.

"Da Mao, are you saying that you encountered a gangster last night and you scared him away?"

"Of course. Let me tell you, last night..."

Xu Damao exaggeratedly recounted his heroic deeds last night, of course with some rhetoric and grammar.

Lou Xiao'e opened her mouth wide, as if shocked by Xu Damao's bravery.

"Da Mao, this is so dangerous, are you hurt?"

Lou Xiao'e looked concerned and checked Xu Damao's body everywhere.

"Of course I wasn't hurt. I was so brave. I beat the gangster away with just three punches and two kicks. It's a pity that when I was about to catch him, he sprinkled a handful of lime powder, which blinded my eyes. Otherwise, I would definitely have caught him!"

Xu Damao said this confidently, and even made one or two grappling gestures with his hands. Combined with his body shape, he really looked like an expert.

This made Lou Xiao'e, a young girl who had rarely seen the world, so fascinated that she saw stars in her eyes, and she also had a greater admiration for Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was secretly happy when he saw Lou Xiao'e's expression. This eldest daughter of the Lou family was quite easy to deceive.

"Xiao E, it's almost noon. Let's find a place to eat?"

"Okay, I know a restaurant with delicious food. I'll treat you to a meal."

Xu Damao refused repeatedly. It was unreasonable for him, Xu Damao, to let a girl pay the bill when he went out to eat.

Inside the steel mill, Li Weiguo, head of the security department, who had just finished a meeting, made a decision regarding last night's attack.

Patrols around the steel mill will be intensified once again, cracking down on any illegal activity within a 500-meter radius. We will intervene where the steel mill is responsible, and even where it shouldn't be!

The celebration is about to begin, and there must be no trouble in the steel mill!

"Send Xu Damao over tomorrow and have him practice his marksmanship at the training ground. Next time he goes on a project, give him two grenades to ensure his safety."

Li Weiguo ordered.

After these orders were issued, although the mastermind behind the attack was not caught, several workers who were secretly reselling steel in the steel mill were caught, which was considered a small achievement.

Li Huaide was also very happy. Just now at the meeting, the news of his bravery and fearlessness in saving Liu Haizhong from the criminals had been made public.

This was also a highlight on his resume. His father-in-law also gave him a rare compliment.

"This bangs is still somewhat useful. If you learn a little more, you can use it in the future."

Li Huaide, in a good mood, had forgotten the unpleasant memory that Liu Haizhong had left him yesterday.

"Liu Haizhong is a good comrade. I want to comfort him."

Li Huaide immediately investigated Liu Haizhong's information, found his home address, and went to the courtyard with two gifts of comfort.

The injured Liu Hai was at home with several rounds of gauze wrapped around his neck.

The security department sent him to the hospital last night. After the doctor examined him, there was no serious problem and no bleeding. He bandaged him up and told him to have a good rest and not to overwork himself in the next two days.

As for the pain, that's normal. Anyone who gets hit like that will feel pain for two days.

"Hey, honey, please fry an egg for me at noon to replenish my energy."

"Okay, why did that damned criminal attack you? Do you know that the security department came yesterday and almost scared me to death?"

Aunt Meng (Liu Haizhong's wife) looked at Liu Haizhong with heartache. She knew that Liu Haizhong almost fainted after being attacked. This time the gangster didn't have a gun. If he had a gun, Liu Haizhong might not be able to come back.

If she and her sons were left behind, what would happen to this widow and orphan?

Chapter 119 Visiting Liu Haizhong

"Oh, please stop talking. I lost face in front of Director Li yesterday. How can I improve in the future?"

Liu Haizhong was still frustrated, wondering how he could have behaved like that in front of Director Li yesterday. Now, he hadn't left a good impression on Director Li at all.

And Xu Damao, that slap was so hard, his face still hurts.

The most serious injury to Liu Haizhong yesterday was probably the slap from Xu Damao.

Just when Liu Haizhong was feeling frustrated, Li Huaide came to the courtyard.

"No. 95 Siheyuan, this is it. Liu Haizhong should be in the backyard."

Yan Bugui saw Li Huaide at the door. He had never seen this person before, but this person's power was even stronger than that of their principal.

He stepped forward and asked, "Comrade, who are you?"

"I'm from the steel mill. I'm here to look for Liu Haizhong."

"Looking for Lao Liu? He's in the backyard. I'll take you there."

Yan Bugui led Li Huaide into the yard. In the front yard, Jiang Daniu was playing with his grandson.

"Director Jiang, you live here too."

"Director Li, why are you here?"

Jiang Daniu knew Li Huaide. After all, he was now a workshop director. Although he was not under Li Huaide's direct jurisdiction, they had met during meetings.

It was even easier for Li Huaide to get to know Jiang Daniu. There was no other family with four male members working in a steel rolling mill, let alone one of them being a technician.

"I came to see Liu Haizhong. After all, I was there last night, so I came to offer my condolences."

Li Huaide is also a master. When he came in, the residents in the front yard noticed him. He chatted with Jiang Daniu to attract attention.

After he left, someone would surely ask who he was. He could then say that the mill's logistics director had come to visit the wounded, which would also serve to show his caring nature.

"Old Liu is in the backyard. I'll take you there."

"That's even better. Is this your grandson?"

"Yes, his nickname is Pengpeng, and he's over two months old."

"How cute! I have a ticket for malted milk. I'll buy some for my child."

Li Huaide took out a bill from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Daniu.

"Director Li, this is totally inappropriate. How can I take your things?"

Jiang Daniu waved his hand to refuse, which made Yan Bugui on the side jealous. If you don’t want it, give it to me.

"Take it. This is not for you. It's for the child."

Li Huaide put the bill in Pengpeng's hand, and Pengpeng cooperated by grabbing it and giggling.

Jiang Daniu did not refuse and expressed his gratitude to Li Huaide.

Li Huaide didn't think that a single ticket would win Jiang Daniu over to his side. It was just an initial investment, a ticket for malted milk, and he didn't take it seriously.

He was in charge of logistics, so it was easy to get some receipts, and he didn't take his subsidy. He knew how to use the factory's supplies and use his own connections.

Liu family’s backyard.

Jiang Daniu knocked on the door first. After all, he had to get the things done after receiving them.

"Old Liu, Director Li is here to express his condolences to you."

When Liu Haizhong heard that Director Li was coming, he immediately perked up, his headache and face pain disappeared.

He jumped out of bed on the spot, without even having time to put on his shoes, and ran to the door of his house barefoot.

"Director Li, welcome, welcome."

Li Huaide looked at Liu Haizhong who was rushing towards him and couldn't help but take a half step back. "Comrade Liu Haizhong, don't get excited. You are injured and you need to rest well."

"Director Li is right. It's just that I'm so excited that you came to visit me."

Liu Haizhong nodded and bowed, respectfully welcoming Director Li into his home.

"Director Li, please chat with Old Liu. I won't stay any longer."

Jiang Daniu offered to leave.

"Okay, Director Jiang, let's talk next time."

Li Huaide went into the house with Liu Haizhong. He was not just coming to offer condolences and then put down his things and leave. He wanted to have a good chat with Liu Haizhong to find out if Liu Haizhong's family had any difficulties and how serious his injuries were.

Jiang Daniu returned home and immediately went to find Jiang Fan. "Second Brother, Director Li from the logistics department just came to see Liu Haizhong. I happened to run into him and we chatted for a while. He gave me a receipt for malted milk."

"Dad, Director Li gave it to you, so just take it. It's just a ticket for malted milk, which is nothing to Director Li."

Jiang Fan told his father that there was no need to take it seriously, as it was just a ticket. If Li Huaide was relying on this ticket to win people's hearts, he was still a little short of it.

But Li Huaide was much better than the others, as he gave the receipt on the first meeting. He was better than those who only wanted the horse to run fast but didn't give it any grass to eat.

Jiang Daniu didn't think any more about it after hearing this. His son said to keep it, so he kept it. Malted milk is a good thing.

After Jiang Daniu left, Jiang Fan poured half a pound of medicinal wine into a jar. This was what Xu Damao wanted to give to Li Huaide.

Now Jiang Fan can get some more. There are originally two kilograms of wine, and if he adds half a kilogram, it can be considered as worthy of the ticket given by Lao Li.

Although the value is not equal, it depends on the situation. One ticket is nothing to Li Huaide, but if the Jiang family is really an ordinary family, then this ticket is very valuable.
