Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

Zhang Minghui looked back at the land in the distance. There seemed to be a terrifying giant beast there, silently devouring the surrounding light.

Zhang Minghui knew that no matter which side was there, today was a disaster. They were going to kill them all and leave no chance, Zhang Minghui's deep voice rang out.

"There are police officers everywhere ahead. Anyone who comes here today will be in trouble."

Li Guoyong's body trembled, his expression changed unpredictably, he clenched his fists, and for the first time he realized the sinister nature of human nature.

Li Guoqiang had an expression of disbelief on his face, his eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide open. He had always thought that there would be a wonderful duel and an exciting battle.

Victory or defeat is determined by combat.

How could the police appear? I felt a sense of betrayal and all the beautiful scenes I had imagined were shattered. I collapsed and slowly squatted down.

Seeing the brothers' expressions, Zhang Minghui didn't say much. He believed that what happened this time would help them grow up quickly. He said in a low voice.

"Retreat first, it's not safe here, let's go back and talk later."

Just as the three were about to leave, they heard a chaotic noise coming from a distance, two gunshots, and continuous loud shouting.

"Stop, don't run."

The moonlight was like water, tearing the peaceful night apart. The scene from afar made Li Guoyong and his brother feel confused. Zhang Minghui saw the two brothers standing there in shock and quickly reminded them.

"Don't look at it, use your brain."

The three of them trotted back to the yard. Zhang Minghui specifically asked Li Guoyong to find out what happened.

Now several people know nothing about the situation.

This is a very dangerous behavior. Zhang Minghui doesn't know why, but he always feels scared. The person behind the scenes is not just plotting against the other party.

Maybe it was also himself. Without the source of information, Zhang Minghui could not confirm the authenticity. After returning home, lying on the kang, Zhang Minghui kept thinking about how things had developed.

He felt that someone was behind this, not only wanting to get rid of his opponent, but also wanting to implicate Zhang Minghui. This was killing two birds with one stone!

Zhang Minghui sneered and said, I hope I am overthinking it, otherwise this matter will not be over yet!

next day

After spending a day at the factory, Zhang Minghui came to Li Guoyong first thing in the evening.

Seeing that Li Guoqiang was not as lively as usual and remained silent, Zhang Minghui joked with a smile.

"It seems that he was hit hard, and his fantasy about gangsters was shattered!"

Li Guoyong nodded and spoke in a heavy tone.

"Brother Hui, my brother has loved listening to stories about heroes since he was young. He likes ancient heroes, and his favorite is Lin Chong from the Liangshan Heroes."

"So he always fantasized that people in the underworld were all like those characters, and were righteous people."

Zhang Minghui burst into laughter and couldn't even straighten his back. This made Li Guoyong and his brother laugh so hard that they were scared. They didn't know why Brother Hui was laughing so hard.

Sitting on the chair, Zhang Minghui asked.

"Guo Qiang, I heard that you like Water Margin and admire those Liangshan heroes?"

Li Guoqiang came back to his senses, his eyes full of admiration, and spoke passionately.

"Brother Hui, that's right. I really like the characters in the film. I like how they are heroic and magnanimous as they eat meat with big mouthfuls and drink wine with big bowls."

Zhang Minghui did not comment. He did not want to talk about irrelevant topics today. He would find a chance to educate this kid someday.

"Guoyong, have you found out clearly?"

Let's get down to business. Li Guoyong's expression became serious and he opened his mouth to speak.

"Brother Hui, I found out this morning that more than 20 people were arrested last night, including Liu Sanlang's trusted subordinates and several gangsters who went to support him."

"It's being rumored that this is Zhang Zhiqiang's plan. This guy has a terrible reputation now. Everyone says that Zhang Zhiqiang is not as strong as Liu Sanlang and they don't dare to fight him."

"Then I'll call the police."

Zhang Minghui nodded, stroked the handle of the chair, and after a moment of silence, he asked.

"Guoyong, tell me again what Zhang Zhiqiang said to you after he came to see you."

Li Guoyong recalled what he had said to Zhang Zhiqiang at that time, and suddenly said something.

"Brother Hui, something is wrong. At that time, I followed your instructions and told Zhang Zhiqiang that you didn't care about the pipes. He was disappointed at first, but I had been secretly following him for a long time."

"I think he was not only disappointed, but he seemed to be very sorry that you couldn't participate. Didn't he say that he would give us 5% of the black market's dividends, but you turned it down?"

"Think about it now, Brother Hui, does he want you to join the game?"

"Brother Hui, if you hadn't been so cautious this time, we would have all been wiped out if we had taken them there that night."

The faces of Li Guoyong and his brother were filled with angry expressions. They were scared just thinking about it. They finally witnessed the cruelty of the underworld. If they were not careful, they would be plotted against.

Zhang Minghui had a faint smile on his face, a thoughtful expression, and spoke calmly.

"Hey, I'm not looking down on Zhang Zhiqiang. If he had such means, he would have risen to prominence long ago. Why did he have to wait until his eldest brother died before taking the position? Such a plan definitely did not come from him."

"It should be the person behind him who planned it. This person is quite scheming! He has a great sense of timing. Guess what the consequences will be for Liu Sanlang and the others."

Li Guoqiang blurted out without hesitation.

"Brother Hui, Liu Sanlang might have to spend seven or eight years in prison this time. I heard that several pistols were found at the scene."

Li Guoyong nodded, agreeing with his brother's judgment.

Zhang Minghui sneered and blurted out words that shocked the two brothers.

"You two brothers haven't thought it through. This matter is not that simple. You should know that tomorrow is the World Table Tennis Championships, and foreigners from dozens of countries will enter Beijing."

"If Liu Sanlang is caught at this critical moment, he will definitely be sentenced severely. I guess he will never be able to get out of prison. The person who set up this trap is really cruel and ruthless. He wants to prevent future troubles!"

As Zhang Minghui expected, within a few days, the captured people were sent to the Northwest, and since then, there has been no news about Liu Sanlang.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. No matter how dirty the methods Zhang Zhiqiang used were, he is the winner now. He has a firm control over the black market and no one dares to take advantage of him anymore.

Li Guoyong told Zhang Minghui that Zhang Zhiqiang seemed to be avoiding them and rarely showed up in the black market, and everything was controlled by his trusted subordinates.

Zhang Minghui grinned, obviously feeling guilty and afraid that Zhang Minghui would settle the score with him.

However, Zhang Minghui had no time to settle accounts with a small man like him. He had been keeping an eye on Director Wang of the Grain Bureau these past two days, trying to find out whether it was Director Wang who had set up the scheme or if there was another expert behind it.
