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

Around 12 o'clock

When the neighbors at the entrance of the alley were all going home for dinner, two hooligans squatted at a corner of the alley, looking towards Courtyard No. 95 from time to time.

One of the younger hooligans took out a wrinkled cigarette case from his pocket, gave a cigarette to the guy next to him, lit it, and said something dissatisfied.

"Brother Zheng, what is this? Why are we forced to do the tracking job? Who is Yi Zhonghai? Why is the boss so concerned about him?"

The thug named Brother Zheng next to him was a little older and had been with Scar Li for quite some time. He was considered one of Scar Li's confidants. He glanced at the young man next to him.

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke meaningfully.

"Brother Dexu, this is something you shouldn't know. Stop asking questions. If you can handle this well, the boss will reward you handsomely. If you can learn the skills of that old guy."

"Then you can eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks for the rest of your life, and you won't have to worry about anything."

The young man named Dexu immediately perked up, his eyes gleaming with longing, and he spoke with full confidence.

"Brother Zheng, don't worry! I've been smart since I was young and I learn things very quickly. It won't take long for me to master the old man's skills."

Brother Zheng took a puff of cigarette and said nothing, but he kept mocking in his heart.

"Hey, you're such a boaster. What's the point of just boasting? Jianjun and the others also made promises at the beginning, but what happened? They studied for several months but still didn't understand."

"I was afraid of being scolded by my boss, so I left a letter and went to hide in the countryside."

While Brother Zheng was thinking, Dexu pushed him and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Zheng, there's something wrong. Do you think those guys are from the security department?"

Brother Zheng turned his head and saw five people from the security department in uniform heading straight for Courtyard 95. The two of them were refreshed, knowing that they could go back and report this matter.

After getting the accurate information, the two did not dare to stay in Nanluoguxiang. They went straight back to the small courtyard rented by Scar Li Xin, which was located in an alley in Beiqiaowan Street.

This is the most common courtyard house in Beijing, covering an area of ​​more than 200 square meters.

Yi Zhonghai and Scar Li were in the main room, discussing what to do next.

The two discussed for a long time, and their mentality was a little anxious, and they had already started arguing. According to Yi Zhonghai's idea, he should hide for a while.

Wait until the storm has passed before coming out and doing some activities.

By then, the two of them would continue their radio business.

Scar Li's idea is to keep doing it. "The brave ones will be fed to death and the timid ones will starve to death." This cannot be stopped. As long as he hides well and the police can't find him, it will be fine.

Scar Li didn't dare to hide.

You have to know that street gangs usually fight fiercely for territory. If Scar Li hides and dares not show his head, his territory will be easily taken away by others.

Once the territory was lost, only a few trusted people would follow him.

The rest of the people would flee to other docks before they knew it. By then, their reputation would plummet and they would be eliminated from the street.

It will be difficult to make a name for yourself again.

What's more, now this old guy has been reported. As long as this old guy is not caught, no one will know that he is involved.

Just keep this old guy under control. If that doesn't work, Scar Li's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Then I will kill him myself to avoid future troubles.

This is the last resort.

With this old guy around, he has made a lot of money in the past few months. Scar Li really didn't want to get rid of Yi Zhonghai.

But Yi Zhonghai didn't know that Scar Li had already made up his mind to kill him. He was still talking incessantly.

"Boss Li, I know you have a lot of people here. But speculation is a serious crime. If the police find out, they will definitely investigate it strictly. I'm afraid someone will report it and arrest us all."

Scar Li was getting annoyed when he heard this.

The two men were shouting excitedly outside.

"Boss, we are back."

When the two men hurried back, they reported to Scar Li that it was the security department of the steel mill who came to arrest Yi Zhonghai.

Scar Li stood up from his chair excitedly and asked his men to report in detail what they saw. After confirming it, he patted Yi Zhonghai on the shoulder and spoke excitedly.

"Hey, Lao Yi, you can rest assured now! Either the police are here to arrest you, or the security officers from the steel mill are here to visit your yard."

"I know the people in the security department. They are not like the police who won't let go. Besides, if you hide, there will be no evidence. They can't find you."

"They can't find you. After a while, everything will be fine."

Yi Zhonghai heard Scar Li's comfort and knew that it was the Security Department who was tracking him down.

The long-term tense state suddenly dissipated, and the heart was liberated from anxiety, just like a heavy stone fell to the ground, making people feel relieved.

The security department's deterrence is still not as strong as the police, and this news relieved everyone's tense atmosphere. Several people chatted happily in the room.

And they don't even realize it.

This courtyard has been under surveillance for a long time.

Li Guoqiang and his men have tracked them here. Someone is watching their every move, but no action is being taken now.

According to Zhang Minghui's instructions, action can only be taken after he notifies them.

The next two days

The news about Yi Zhonghai's speculation quickly spread throughout Nanluoguxiang. It became a well-known fact, and everyone was curious about what Yi Zhonghai was selling.

This matter became a hot topic in every compound.

Having not seen Yi Zhonghai for several days, Liu Haizhong directly reported the situation to Chief Wang of the Security Department.

Section Chief Wang did not waste any time, after communicating with the factory, he came to the Street Office, and together with the staff of the Street Office, he pried open the door of Yi Zhonghai's house.

When I was about to go in to search, I found a lot of clothes scattered on the kang and on the floor. The wardrobe and cupboard were wide open.

Section Chief Wang was experienced. When he saw the scene inside, he immediately knew that Yi Zhonghai must have gotten the letter and ran away. He opened his mouth and spoke to Uncle Zhang from the Street Office.

"Comrade Zhang, I think Yi Zhonghai is guilty. Someone notified him and told him to run away."

"In this case, Yi Zhonghai's guilt can be confirmed. He must be speculating and is afraid of being caught by us."

"I hope the subdistrict office will take this seriously and work with our security department to capture the fugitive Yi Zhonghai."

After hearing what Section Chief Wang said, Uncle Zhang also agreed and said righteously that he would definitely inform all the compounds about this matter.

So that Yi Zhonghai can be captured as soon as possible.

Zhang Minghui smiled behind the crowd, hearing what the security department and the street office said. He knew that this matter was done, and Yi Zhonghai was missing.

Everyone will just suspect that he is in hiding.
