Siheyuan: Killing the gods against the will of heaven, causing great suffering to all living beings

Xu Damao's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal. "Han Xiaodong, you know, the factory is so big, it's not uncommon for a part to be lost. I have heard some stories, but they are all rumors, I don't know if they are true or not."

Han Xiaodong nodded. "Rumors are fine too. Tell me about it."

Xu Damao pretended to be mysterious and whispered, "It is said that someone secretly took the parts from the factory out and sold them. I heard that the price was not bad."

Han Xiaodong was shocked. This was not the first time he had heard what Xu Damao said, but he wanted to know more details. "Then do you know who it is?"

Xu Damao shook his head. "I don't know who it is. But, Han Xiaodong, you work in the security department, so you should be careful about this kind of thing and don't get involved."

Han Xiaodong nodded to express his gratitude, but he began to doubt Xu Damao's attitude. As a projectionist in the factory, Xu Damao usually comes into contact with a lot of people and information. He can't believe everything he says, but he can't ignore it either.

Back in the house, Han Xiaodong thought about his next plan. He decided to start with Xu Damao to see if he could find more clues. The next day, Han Xiaodong deliberately ran into Xu Damao in the factory cafeteria.

"Xu Damao, let's have dinner together. I just happen to have something I want to talk to you about." Han Xiaodong said with a smile.

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement, and the two found a corner and sat down.

"Han Xiaodong, what do you want to talk about?" Xu Damao asked with a flicker in his eyes.

Han Xiaodong did not answer directly, but first talked about some trivial matters in the factory, and gradually the topic turned to the recent safety issues in the factory.

"Xu Damao, the safety situation in the factory is not optimistic recently, and the security department is very busy." Han Xiaodong sighed.

Xu Damao nodded, "Yes, I heard that a lot of things were lost in the factory recently, and everyone is a little nervous."

Han Xiaodong observed Xu Damao's expression and continued, "Yes, especially those key parts. Losing them is a big deal. You usually come into contact with a lot of people. Have you heard any rumors?"

Xu Damao smiled and said, "Han Xiaodong, you really worry a lot. However, sometimes worrying too much may not be a good thing. It's better to relax."

Han Xiaodong was secretly alert in his heart. Xu Damao's words were clearly trying to change the subject. He decided to be more direct, "Xu Damao, I recently found some clues that someone might have sold parts from the factory to foreigners. This is a big deal. You know, if this kind of thing gets out of hand, the consequences will be disastrous."

Xu Damao's expression changed obviously, but he soon regained his composure. "Han Xiaodong, you'd better be careful about this kind of thing and don't talk nonsense. There are so many people in the factory, who knows who is behind it?"

Han Xiaodong was even more certain of his suspicions, thinking that Xu Damao must know something. He decided not to press the issue for the time being and change his strategy.

"You're right, Xu Damao. We still have to be cautious about things like this. However, I believe that as long as everyone works together, we can definitely resolve the issue." Han Xiaodong said in a calm tone.

Xu Damao nodded, seeming to be relieved, "Han Xiaodong, don't worry, if there is anything you need help with, I will do my best."

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Xu Damao. Let's talk another day."

Back at the security department, Han Xiaodong reported the situation to Section Chief Li. After listening to Han Xiaodong's analysis, Section Chief Li pondered for a while.

"Han Xiaodong, your suspicion is justified. Xu Damao may seem inconspicuous at ordinary times, but his identity and the scope of his contacts may indeed involve such things." Section Chief Li said.

Han Xiaodong nodded, "Yes, Chief. I think we need to investigate Xu Damao more deeply to see if we can find more clues."

Section Chief Li agreed to Han Xiaodong's plan and gave him some additional resources and support. Han Xiaodong decided to start with Xu Damao's daily life to see if he could find anything unusual.

A few days later, Han Xiaodong waited near Xu Damao's dormitory and finally found some clues. That night, Han Xiaodong saw Xu Damao sneaking out with a small package. Han Xiaodong quietly followed him and found that Xu Damao came to a remote cafe.

Han Xiaodong waited outside for a while and saw Xu Damao and a strange man talking in a low voice inside. Han Xiaodong decided to take the risk and get closer to secretly eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Are you sure you can sell these parts for a good price?" Xu Damao asked in a low voice.

The strange man nodded. "Don't worry, the price is absolutely right. But you have to ensure a stable supply of goods."

Xu Damao hesitated for a moment, "Don't worry about this. As long as the price is right, the supply will definitely not be a problem."

Han Xiaodong's heart sank. It seemed that his guess was right. Xu Damao was indeed trading parts with outsiders, and it was very likely that he sold them to foreigners. He decided to report to Section Chief Li as soon as he returned, and at the same time speed up the collection of evidence.

After returning to the Security Department, Han Xiaodong told Section Chief Li the details of the situation, and Section Chief Li was shocked.

"Han Xiaodong, this matter is of great importance. We must act immediately." Section Chief Li said seriously.

Han Xiaodong nodded, "Yes, Chief. I have some preliminary evidence, but it needs further confirmation."

Section Chief Li thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Han Xiaodong, let's split up. You continue to keep an eye on Xu Damao, and I will coordinate with other departments to ensure the smooth progress of the operation."

In the next few days, Han Xiaodong kept a close eye on Xu Damao's movements. He found that Xu Damao seemed to be getting more and more uneasy, often looking around the factory, as if he was on guard against something. Han Xiaodong knew that his investigation had touched his nerves and he had to take action as soon as possible.

One night, Han Xiaodong followed Xu Damao again and found that he went to the cafe again. Han Xiaodong decided not to wait this time, but to act directly. He quietly walked into the cafe and found a hidden position to observe.

Xu Damao and the strange man were trading, and Han Xiaodong saw Xu Damao take out some parts from his bag and hand them to the other party. Han Xiaodong felt that the time was right and decided to take action immediately.

"Stop! You're from the Security Department!" Han Xiaodong shouted loudly and took out his ID.

Xu Damao and the stranger looked up in astonishment and saw Han Xiaodong standing in front of them. The stranger tried to run away, but was caught by Han Xiaodong.

"What are you doing? Han Xiaodong, don't mess around!" Xu Damao shouted in panic.

Han Xiaodong said calmly, "Xu Damao, you have been targeted for a long time. You traded factory parts with this person, which has constituted a serious violation of the law. Now, both of you follow me back to the Security Department for investigation."

Xu Damao's face turned pale. Knowing he had nowhere to escape, he could only lower his head helplessly.

Back at the security department, Han Xiaodong and Section Chief Li interrogated Xu Damao and the strange man in detail. Xu Damao finally admitted his crime and revealed the trading network behind it. It turned out that Xu Damao had been using his identity to secretly sell factory parts to foreigners for huge profits.

After listening to Xu Damao's confession, Section Chief Li looked very serious. "Han Xiaodong, this matter involves more than we thought.

Han Xiaodong sat in the security department's office, waiting nervously. Today's interrogation was very important, and he had to find out the details of Xu Damao's transaction with foreigners. Section Chief Li walked in and patted Han Xiaodong on the shoulder.

"Han Xiaodong, are you ready? This interrogation is very crucial and we must find out the truth." Section Chief Li said seriously.

Han Xiaodong nodded and said, "Chief, I am ready and will do my best to find out the truth."

Soon, Xu Damao was brought into the office. He looked pale and very nervous. Han Xiaodong motioned him to sit down and then began to question him.

"Xu Damao, leniency will be given to those who confess; severity will be given to those who resist. We have already obtained some evidence, and we hope you can tell the truth and strive for leniency." Han Xiaodong said calmly.

Xu Damao swallowed and whispered, "Han Xiaodong, I really didn't do anything wrong. I was just helping some foreign friends solve some technical problems."

Han Xiaodong frowned. "What technical problem? Don't be vague. Be more specific!"

Xu Damao seemed a little hesitant, but under Han Xiaodong's gaze, he finally spoke, "They want to know about our factory's mechanical structure and parts production process. I just help them answer some questions."

Han Xiaodong felt that the matter was not simple and continued to ask, "Do you know the consequences of doing this? These technical data may be used to manufacture competing products and even threaten national security!"

Just as Han Xiaodong was pressing Xu Damao, the office door was suddenly pushed open and He Yuzhu strode in.

"Han Xiaodong, what are you doing? Xu Damao only helped a little. It's not appropriate for you to press him like that, right?" He Yuzhu said with a bad look on his face.

Han Xiaodong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect He Yuzhu to suddenly barge in. "He Yuzhu, this is the interrogation room of the security department. What are you doing here?"

He Yuzhu sneered, "I know this is the security department, but Xu Damao is an employee of our factory. You can't treat him like a criminal. He is just helping foreigners learn some technology. It's no big deal."

Han Xiaodong frowned. "He Yuzhu, this matter involves national security. It's not as simple as you think. We have evidence that Xu Damao was involved in illegal transactions."

He Yuzhu disagreed, "Evidence? Just based on those parts? Han Xiaodong, don't be so stubborn. If you continue like this, it will be hard for everyone."

Han Xiaodong felt a little angry, but he knew he had to stay calm. "He Yuzhu, your attitude makes me doubt your motives. Why did you defend Xu Damao?"

He Yuzhu looked at Han Xiaodong coldly, "Han Xiaodong, I just can't stand you forcing me like this. If you continue to investigate like this, I won't give you food in the future, let's see what you can do!"
