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

Qin Huairu nodded, chatted for a few more words and left. Han Xiaodong closed the book and prepared to go into the house to cook. Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came, Han Xiaodong looked up and saw that it was Yi Zhonghai.

"Han Xiaodong, come here, I have something to talk to you about." Yi Zhonghai said in a low voice with a serious expression.

Han Xiaodong's heart tightened, knowing that the matter was not simple. He followed Yi Zhonghai to the corner of the yard. Yi Zhonghai looked around and made sure that no one was following him. Then he whispered, "Han Xiaodong, something happened in the factory recently. You have to be careful."

Han Xiaodong frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"

"There are people in the security department who are smuggling goods, and these people have complicated backgrounds. You have just joined the factory, so you must be careful and don't get involved." There was some nervousness in Yi Zhonghai's voice.

Han Xiaodong's heart sank. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a difficult situation just after joining the security department of the steel rolling mill. He nodded and said that he would be careful.

The next morning, Han Xiaodong arrived at the steel mill early. In the security office, several colleagues were already there, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere seemed harmonious. But Han Xiaodong knew that superficial harmony often concealed deeper undercurrents.

"Han Xiaodong, come on, come with me on patrol today." Old Wang from the Security Department called out.

Han Xiaodong nodded and followed Lao Wang out of the office. The two patrolled the factory area, and along the way, Lao Wang seemed to mention some of the "hidden rules" in the factory intentionally or unintentionally.

"Han Xiaodong, you have to know that not everything in this factory can be done according to the rules. Some things can be let go by turning a blind eye." Lao Wang said meaningfully.

Han Xiaodong knew that Lao Wang was trying to warn him, but he had already made up his mind to find out the truth behind it.

After patrolling, Han Xiaodong found that there were several more people in the security department's office, one of whom was the section chief Li Dayong whom he had met when he joined the company. Li Dayong was talking to several seemingly outsiders with a serious expression.

"Han Xiaodong, come here." Li Dayong called.

Han Xiaodong walked over and Li Dayong introduced them: "These are several leaders from our factory. They are here to inspect our work today. Please introduce the situation of our security department to them."

Han Xiaodong was shocked, but he remained calm. He briefly and clearly introduced the basic situation of the Security Department, and several leaders nodded, seeming to be very satisfied.

In the next few days, Han Xiaodong secretly observed and found that there was indeed something wrong in the factory. Especially at night, the lights in some warehouses often flickered, as if someone was secretly moving around. Han Xiaodong decided to secretly investigate to see if he could find some clues.

Late one night, Han Xiaodong quietly sneaked into a warehouse in the factory area. He hid in a corner and saw several dark figures busy, seemingly moving something. Han Xiaodong held his breath and tried not to make any noise.

Suddenly, a dark figure came towards Han Xiaodong. Han Xiaodong's heart tightened and he quickly hid behind a large box. As the dark figure approached, Han Xiaodong heard him whisper, "Hurry up, don't let anyone find you."

Han Xiaodong was shocked. These people were indeed doing something shameful. He secretly memorized their faces and decided to find an opportunity to report to his superiors.

The next day, Han Xiaodong quietly found Yi Zhonghai and told him what happened last night. Yi Zhonghai looked serious, nodded and said: "Han Xiaodong, you did the right thing. But we can't alert the enemy, we have to find solid evidence."

Han Xiaodong understood the reason and decided to continue investigating secretly.

A few days later, Han Xiaodong finally found an opportunity. In a corner where no one was paying attention, he took photos of the people moving goods and recorded their conversation. Han Xiaodong knew that this evidence was enough to uncover the crimes of these people.

However, just as Han Xiaodong was about to report to his superiors, his whereabouts were discovered by those people. Late one night, Han Xiaodong was blocked by several people in a remote corner of the factory.

"Han Xiaodong, you are quite courageous boy, daring to meddle in other people's business." The leader sneered, with a murderous gleam in his eyes.

Han Xiaodong looked at them calmly, holding the photos and recorder tightly in his hands. "You are breaking the law, and I have evidence."

The leader's face changed, and he signaled his men to come forward. Han Xiaodong knew that he was no match for them, but he was not afraid. He raised his head and said firmly, "Don't even think about escaping. I have already handed the evidence to Yi Zhonghai."

This statement obviously worked, the leader hesitated for a moment, and his men also stopped. At this moment, a police siren sounded in the distance.

Han Xiaodong felt relieved, knowing that Yi Zhonghai had taken action. Seeing that the situation was not good, the men turned around and ran away. Han Xiaodong did not chase them, but waited quietly for the police to arrive.

The police arrived quickly, and Han Xiaodong handed them the photos and recorder he had taken. After investigation, it turned out that those people were indeed the smuggling gang in the factory, and Li Dayong was their mastermind. The case was quickly solved, and Han Xiaodong was commended by the factory and his superiors.

After the incident was settled, Han Xiaodong returned to the courtyard. Qin Huairu and other neighbors congratulated him, and the courtyard returned to its former tranquility.

However, Han Xiaodong knows that this is just the beginning. Life is always moving forward, and there are more challenges waiting for him. But no matter what, Han Xiaodong will face it bravely, because he knows that only by upholding justice can he truly protect the tranquility and beauty of this land.

On a summer afternoon in the old city, the stone pavement in the courtyard was scorched by the sun, and the air was filled with a hot breath. Han Xiaodong was walking on his way home, thinking about what had happened in the factory recently. Since solving Li Dayong's smuggling case, his position in the factory has improved, but he knows that this is just the beginning, and there are more challenges waiting for him.

As soon as he entered the yard, Han Xiaodong saw Xu Damao standing at the gate, holding a few newspapers in his hands, as if waiting for something. Xu Damao was a projectionist in the factory. He liked to show off his work and often walked around with newspapers, as if to show his grasp of the outside world.

"Han Xiaodong, you're back." Xu Damao greeted Han Xiaodong with a smile when he saw him. "How was your day? Did your work go well?"

"Fortunately, it went smoothly." Han Xiaodong answered simply, but in his heart he was thinking about Xu Damao's recent actions. He vaguely felt that something was wrong with Xu Damao.

"Han Xiaodong, are there any new movies released in the factory recently?" Qin Huairu walked out of the house, saw Han Xiaodong and Xu Damao, and asked with a smile.

Xu Damao immediately responded, "Sister Qin, you've asked the right person. Our factory has recently introduced several foreign films, all of which are good. I'm going to arrange a screening in the next few days, and you must come and see them!"

When Han Xiaodong heard this, his heart moved and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He had been paying attention to the developments in the factory recently, and Xu Damao's words caught his attention. "Xu Damao, where did these foreign movies come from?"

Xu Damao smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, they all came in through legitimate channels anyway. I have connections!"

Han Xiaodong nodded, but he became more suspicious. He felt that Xu Damao's words had some loopholes, so he decided to continue observing.

A few days later, Han Xiaodong took advantage of the patrol to secretly investigate Xu Damao's activities. Soon, he found something unusual. Xu Damao often left the factory alone after get off work and went to some hidden places, seemingly conducting some secret transactions.

Han Xiaodong was alert and decided to follow Xu Damao to see what he was doing. One evening, Han Xiaodong quietly followed Xu Damao and found that he was meeting a foreigner in an abandoned warehouse at the edge of the factory.

Han Xiaodong hid in the dark and saw Xu Damao take out several precision parts from his bag and hand them to the foreigner. Han Xiaodong was shocked. These were clearly confidential parts of the factory! He secretly took photos and decided to find an opportunity to expose Xu Damao.

When they returned to the courtyard at night, Han Xiaodong told Yi Zhonghai about this. Yi Zhonghai frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Han Xiaodong, this is a serious matter. If Xu Damao is really a spy, we must be careful."

Han Xiaodong nodded, "I have taken photos of the evidence, but we need more evidence to prove his identity."

"Okay, let's continue investigating. But we must be careful not to alert the enemy." Yi Zhonghai warned.

In the next few days, Han Xiaodong and Yi Zhonghai secretly monitored Xu Damao and finally got more evidence. They found that Xu Damao not only had frequent contact with the foreigner, but also used his identity as a projectionist to secretly pass on information.

One night, Han Xiaodong and Yi Zhonghai decided to take action. They sneaked into Xu Damao's home and found the confidential documents and an encrypted radio that he had hidden. Han Xiaodong was delighted, as these evidences were enough to prove Xu Damao's identity as a spy.

Just as they were about to leave, Xu Damao suddenly came back. Han Xiaodong and Yi Zhonghai quickly hid aside and held their breath.

"It's such a hassle. I have to deliver the goods myself every time." Xu Damao complained to himself. He walked into the house and started to sort out the parts and documents.

Han Xiaodong was secretly anxious, fearing that he would be discovered. Yi Zhonghai asked him to wait patiently. Finally, Xu Damao finished sorting, picked up a bag of parts, and prepared to go out.

"Han Xiaodong, now is the chance, follow him!" Yi Zhonghai said in a low voice.

Han Xiaodong nodded and followed Xu Damao to the abandoned warehouse at the edge of the factory. They hid in the dark and saw Xu Damao meet with the foreigner again.

"These are the latest parts, take them away quickly." Xu Damao said in a low voice, sounding a little anxious.

The foreigner took the part and nodded, "Okay, I'll handle it as soon as possible. This mission is very important, you must be careful."
