Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

In the years to come, Zhang Ma will always accompany and serve this family. She has also witnessed many unknown secrets and changes. To some extent, she has become the cornerstone of this family.

She took care of Li Cuilian as if she were her own child, and because of this she earned the nickname "Ma Li".

After the founding of New China, it was no longer allowed to have the title of servant.

After learning about her situation, the neighborhood tried to take her away from home and promised to give her a place to spend her old age in peace.

But Li Ma flatly refused.

He was reluctant to give up his son Li Weimin, whom he had raised for many years, and had already regarded him as his own son.

Housekeeper Zhou looked at the white-haired and wrinkled Li Ma and said hesitantly, "Master, it may not be necessary to leave at this hurried moment. Besides, with Li Ma's loyalty and hard work, there is no problem for her to go out on a sudden trip this time. There is no need to leave her behind."

"It's always better to be cautious. The situation is different now. That hateful old man made our past known to the public. Unknown dangers may be on the way."

Li Weimin noticed that Butler Zhou looked unhappy, so he softened his tone. He patted his arm and said, "Old Zhou, Aunt Li is different from you. She is getting old and weak. I'm afraid she was dying when she arrived at **."

"Why not do your best for the Li family in your last days to ensure that we land safely? When the time comes, I will erect a monument in your house to commemorate you, and offer incense and candles on every important festival every year. What do you think?"

Li Weimin's voice gradually became colder. Even though his words contained a questioning tone, his decision did not allow for any objection from others.

This conversation made Butler Zhou shudder unconsciously. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly responded, "That's exactly what I considered."

After hearing this, Steward Zhou gave an order, and everyone got on a truck, the engine roared, and the lights in the truck flashed. Just as Li Weimin was about to give the order, a hurried figure flashed by in the distance.

Seeing that it was his daughter Li Weier who returned, Butler Zhou frowned slightly - could it be that she wanted to throw herself into trouble? But he had no right to stop her. As the factory security captain with blood on his hands, he only had a little bit of kindness left.

Li Weimin returned to the house and noticed his daughter's arrival. He was excited. After a quick inspection to confirm that there was nothing unusual, he was filled with surprise. He opened the car door and jumped out.

"Xiao Wei, where have you been?"

Seeing her father's concerned expression, Xiaowei bit her lips and replied, "I have said goodbye to the two old classmates. Don't worry, I haven't leaked anything about my family." Her voice was a little low, but her determination and firmness were clearly visible.

Li Weimin stared at his daughter for a long while, as if examining the true intention behind her words and actions. After a moment, he nodded helplessly and said in a calm tone: "Okay, time is running out. Go to your car and wait. The departure time is now."

Looking at the heads of the trucks heading in completely different directions, Li Wei's role as a leader and family guardian became extremely clear at that moment, and at the same time, it carried an unavoidable sense of responsibility.

Suddenly he looked up at the truck carrying the goods: "Mom, I feel uneasy riding in this truck alone. Can you wait a moment and ride with me?"

It was as if a biting cold wind rose from Tan Liya's heels to the top of her head, making her face as pale as paper. She deliberately blamed: "Child, you are already so old, why are you still a little timid! I still need to take care of your father here."

"But we had already agreed that we can get together again once the truck leaves the city." Lou Xiao'e pretended to be ignorant.

"Who are you angry about? I told you to get on the bus and go quickly. If you keep saying these things, you don't have to go with us!" Tan Liya's tone was full of blame.

Observing Tan Liya's expression, Lou Xiao'e saw that her actions were obviously an attempt to conceal her true feelings.

It seems that Tan Liya is also clearly aware of Lou Zhenhua's plan?

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e felt a strong pain in her heart, her body trembled slightly, and she almost fainted on the spot.

but.

When she thought of what Li Aiguo said, she tried her best to hold back her sadness and encouraged herself to be strong.

"Fourth Uncle, Uncle Zhou, where is my luggage?" Lou Xiao'e looked at the housekeeper and asked.

"In this truck." The butler instructed and pointed to the truck in the distance.

As expected, the small red suitcase appeared in Lou Zhenhua's truck.

"Can you help me carry my suitcase to my own car? There are some clothes in it that need to be carried on the way?" she asked, staring into my big eyes.

Hearing this, the assistant butler felt a little embarrassed and looked for help at Lou Zhenhua who was sitting in the cab next to him.

Lou Zhenhua thought about it for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Old Zhou, didn't you hear what Li Aiguo meant?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

So the butler quickly found his most trusted friend and moved the small red suitcase into the car belonging to Lou Zhenhua.

Looking at the red suitcase with traces of blood and sweat, Lou Zhenhua reluctantly left, feeling distressed. It was such a waste to discard those things worth several kilograms of gold halfway. However, thinking of the preciousness of gold and the opportunities it brought, this loss was not completely worthless.

With a cold expression on his face, Lou Zhenhua got into the car and left the scene.

When the truck was about to start, Lou Xiao'e looked back deeply at Tan Liya who was still there, turned around with difficulty, waded through the water and walked towards the parked truck.

In the car, an elderly mother quickly reached out and held her back: "Good girl, don't be afraid. I have experienced a lot in the world and I believe I can definitely escort you safely."

Looking at the uncontrollable loving look in the mother's eyes, Lou Xiao'e felt a little relieved.

He pretended to sit down and seemingly accidentally touched a wooden box in the truck bed. A slight friction sound came from inside the wooden box, and through the gaps in the wooden boards, scattered stones and debris could be seen inside.

The faint hope in my heart completely disappeared, and I whispered in my heart: "Aiguo brother, it turns out that everything I guessed was right. They only considered their own safety and really left me behind."

There was a sudden flash of lightning in the sky, and at that moment, there was a deafening thunder, announcing the coming of a sudden storm.

In the blink of an eye, the dim world became bright, and then quickly returned to darkness.

Suddenly, heavy rain poured down from the sky.

The raindrops hit the iron shed, making an annoying sound.

Liu Zhenxing raised his head and looked at the sky, feeling a bad feeling in his heart.

"Let's go! Let's go now!"

The housekeeper ran to the front of the Liu family's small villa, whispered something to a short man, and then put a large stack of banknotes into his hand.

After that, he quickly turned back to the truck, adjusted his posture and said to the driver's seat next to him: "Xiao Liu, turn off the headlights and set off immediately."

At the same time, four trucks rumbled into action.

The trucks, with their headlights turned on, drove in two directions, away from the Liu family villa area and sped towards the unknown depths of darkness.

The short man in front of the tall building held the stack of money tightly and put it in his pocket.

He walked back to the villa, and after a while he put on his raincoat and went out again.

For him now, there are two tasks to be completed.

The first item: He had to go to the police station to inform them that Lou Xiao'e had been evacuated on a truck.

The second item: He was going to the store to buy two bottles of old wine and a small plate of peanuts and enjoy a sumptuous meal.

You must solve the first thing before you can proceed to the second. The order of steps is very important and there is no room for any reversal or omission.

Although Butler Zhou has left, he is worried that someone might be monitoring him. After all, one must keep his word. As a rule-abiding person, he is very persistent in the rules he sets.

I rode a bicycle on the wet and muddy road, braving the wind and rain, towards the police station.

** The cold wind mixed with icy rain mercilessly hit his face, which was extremely painful, but the mood of this "caring person" was inexplicably lifted.

Just by passing a simple sentence to the other party, you can get a small transaction of 20 yuan. Where can you find such a good thing?

Spider Hole Alley is a remote and narrow alley about 200 meters away from the Liu family villa, where one must pass to get to the police station.

In the heavy rain, the water on the road was higher than the ankles. The short man walked for nearly ten minutes before reaching this place.

At this time, the heavy rain became more intense.

All around, everything was obscured from view, and there was only a familiar and strong smell of animal excrement - coming from the animal market, with cattle and sheep scattered all over the ground. The rain had soaked the body odor of the cattle and sheep, mixed with the smell of dirt and manure, making the air particularly unpleasant and pungent.

The short man felt a little annoyed and pedaled harder to catch up.

However, at this moment, a man wearing a bamboo hat suddenly stood in front of him.

The rough man had a sturdy and strong body. He stood firmly in the pouring rain. His clothes were completely soaked by the rain, and the drops of water flowing down his cloak formed a curtain.

Without any effort, the man stuck his feet on the front wheel of the bicycle and stopped it.

The electric poles near the street lamps reflected the yellow light left on the road. After being washed by the rain, the light was like a filter, illuminating his outline and spreading an eerie, deep red color across his short face.

The little man sat upright in the seat, felt around his head with his fingers, observing the blood on the back of his hand, but he did not show the slightest panic. Instead, he relaxed his breathing as if he was relieved.

"Well, if you are obstructed while doing something, it doesn't count as a violation, right?"

Complete this sentence,

The little man was shaken and fell from his seat, landing in the water-filled pit.

"If so, it means recognition."

Wang Gangzhu adjusted the angle of the brim of his helmet-like hat, walked over, and lightly kicked the little man with the sole of his shoe to check.
