Han Xiaodong asked quickly: "Old Yan, did you hear anything specific? What does it mean to say it has something to do with us?"

Yan Bugui shook his head: "I don't know either. I just heard from someone that the people we caught gave away their superiors, and it seems to be related to our area."

Han Xiaodong frowned, thinking to himself: It seems that things are developing faster than expected. If we don't act quickly, there may be bigger troubles. He stood up and said to Qin Huairu: "Sister Qin, I have to go to Uncle Yi to discuss this matter immediately. We can't delay it any longer."

Qin Huairu nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

The two hurried to Yi Zhonghai's house. Yi Zhonghai was trimming flowers and plants in the yard. When he saw them coming, he stopped what he was doing and asked, "Han Xiaodong, Sister Qin, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"

Han Xiaodong told Yi Zhonghai what Yan Bugui had just said. After listening to it, Yi Zhonghai's face became extremely solemn: "It seems that things are more complicated than we thought. We have to take action as soon as possible."

"Uncle Yi, I think we should report the situation to our superiors to ensure that everything is safe." Han Xiaodong suggested.

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "I agree, but we have to make sure the information is accurate and not hurt innocent people. Han Xiaodong, go again tonight and try to take some solid evidence."

Han Xiaodong nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will be careful."

At night, Han Xiaodong came to the abandoned factory again, hiding in the dark, waiting for Liu Haizhong to appear. Soon after, Liu Haizhong really appeared, accompanied by several strangers. Han Xiaodong took out his camera and quietly recorded their every move.

"Is everything ready?" a stranger asked in a low voice.

Liu Haizhong nodded: "Everything is ready and can be shipped tomorrow night."

Tomorrow night was the day they would take action. He continued filming, making sure to capture every detail.

Han Xiaodong immediately found Yi Zhonghai and handed him the photos and recordings. After carefully checking them, Yi Zhonghai said solemnly, "These are enough evidences. I will report to the higher-ups immediately."

The next day, Han Xiaodong and his neighbors in the courtyard were anxiously waiting for news. In the evening, several military green jeeps drove into the courtyard, and several plainclothes police officers quickly got out of the cars and began to set up the yard.

"Han Xiaodong, thank you for the clues you provided. This time we must catch them all in one fell swoop." The leading policeman said to Han Xiaodong.

Han Xiaodong nodded: "This is what I should do, I hope everything goes well."

As night fell, the whole courtyard fell into silence. Han Xiaodong and his neighbors were watching in secret, waiting for the action to begin. Finally, at the agreed time, Liu Haizhong and the strangers appeared again. They seemed to be unaware and continued their transaction.

"Action now!" The leading policeman gave an order and the plainclothes policemen quickly rushed forward. Before Liu Haizhong and others could react, they were subdued to the ground.

"What are you doing? Let me go!" Liu Haizhong struggled and shouted.

"Liu Haizhong, you have been arrested by us on suspicion of smuggling and selling contraband." The leading policeman said coldly.

Han Xiaodong stood aside, watching Liu Haizhong being taken to the police car, with mixed emotions in his heart. The matter was finally settled, and the courtyard returned to peace, but Han Xiaodong knew that life would go on and new challenges would continue to come.

He ran into Yan Jiecheng, another old man in the yard who usually didn't like to talk much, but this time he took the initiative to come over and say hello to Han Xiaodong.

"Han Xiaodong, it's all thanks to you recently, otherwise we ordinary people really don't know what would have happened." Yan Jiecheng said with emotion.

, feel free to look for us old neighbors."

The deaf old lady came out of the house, leaning on a cane and walking unsteadily. When she saw Han Xiaodong, she smiled kindly: "Han Xiaodong, come and have a cup of tea, I just made it."

, helped the deaf old lady to sit down: "Thank you, deaf old lady."

I feel at ease with you in our yard."

Han Xiaodong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and felt warm in his heart. Despite all the ups and downs, the courtyard is still a place full of warmth and love. He knows that this is his home, the place he strives for and protects.

, the courtyard returned to its former tranquility. Han Xiaodong's relationship with his neighbors became more and more harmonious, and he gradually became an indispensable member of this big family.

Brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu came over. Liu Guangtian greeted them with a smile: "Han Xiaodong, is your car broken down again?"

Han Xiaodong raised his head and responded with a smile: "Yes, it's an old problem.

Han Xiaodong and Qin Huairu became good friends, and their relationship gradually became close.

The summer in the old city is always so hot. The sun shines on the blue bricks of the courtyard, emitting a faint light. Han Xiaodong had just repaired his bicycle, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and prepared to go find Qin Huairu. Since the incident with Liu Haizhong, his relationship with Qin Huairu has become closer. They often discuss things together and help each other.

"Sister Qin, are you home?" Han Xiaodong stood at the door of Qin Huairu's house.

"I'm here, Han Xiaodong, please come in." Qin Huairu's voice came from inside, with a hint of tenderness.

Han Xiaodong opened the door and walked into the house, and saw Qin Huairu busy cooking. She was wearing a simple home clothes and an apron, and looked particularly virtuous.

"Han Xiaodong, you came at the right time today. I made your favorite braised pork." Qin Huairu said with a smile, her eyes sparkling with joy.

"Oh, Sister Qin, you are so polite." Han Xiaodong smiled and scratched his head, "I feel a little embarrassed that I can eat delicious food every time I come to your place."

Qin Huairu smiled and waved her hands: "What's the big deal? You've helped our family so much, this little token of appreciation is nothing. By the way, how's your work going recently?"

"It's okay. The factory has been a bit busy recently, but everything is going well." Han Xiaodong took the tea handed to him by Qin Huairu, took a sip, and felt a warmth flowing in his heart.

"That's good." Qin Huairu nodded, a trace of relief on her face, "Han Xiaodong, there is something I have always wanted to tell you, but I just don't know how to start."

Han Xiaodong looked at Qin Huairu's serious expression and put down his teacup: "Sister Qin, just tell me what's the matter. I will definitely do my best as long as I can help."

Qin Huairu bit her lip and whispered, "It's actually about Bang Geng. As you know, he has always been a naughty child. Sometimes I really don't know how to discipline him."

Han Xiaodong nodded: "Banggeng is indeed a lively child, but I think he has a kind heart and just needs someone to guide him well."

Qin Huairu sighed: "Yes, his father passed away early, and I was raising him alone. Sometimes I really felt overwhelmed."

Han Xiaodong patted Qin Huairu's hand and comforted her, "Sister Qin, don't worry. Banggeng is a good boy. I will try my best to help you take care of him. If you need anything, just tell me."

Qin Huairu nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Han Xiaodong. You are really a great benefactor to our family."

At this time, Banggeng ran in from outside, and when he saw Han Xiaodong, he immediately rushed over and said, "Brother Han Xiaodong, you are here! Come play with me, my mother never lets me go out."

Han Xiaodong smiled and picked up Bang Geng: "Okay, let's play together today. What do you want to play?"

Banggeng clapped his hands excitedly: "I'm going to the river to catch fish!"

Bang Geng, fishing is too dangerous, let’s just play in the yard.”

, said: "Sister Qin, how about this, I will take Banggeng to the river, but I will definitely keep an eye on him and won't let him get into any danger."

"Well, Han Xiaodong, I'll leave the stick to you. You guys better be careful."

Han Xiaodong smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Sister Qin."

Han Xiaodong and Banggeng came to the river. The water was so clear that you could see the bottom, and small fish were swimming around. Banggeng excitedly took off his shoes, jumped into the shallow water, and chased the small fish happily.

"Brother Han Xiaodong, it's so fun here!" Banggeng shouted happily with an innocent smile on his face.

Han Xiaodong stood on the shore and looked at Bang Geng with a smile: "It's good that you like it, but be careful not to go into the deep water."

"Got it!" Bang Geng agreed happily and continued playing in the water.

After a while, Han Xiaodong felt that the time was almost up, so he called Banggeng to the shore: "Okay, Banggeng, we should go back."

Banggeng was a little reluctant, but he still walked up obediently. Han Xiaodong helped him put on his shoes and wiped the water off his feet, and the two walked back together.

When they returned to the courtyard, Qin Huairu was waiting at the door. Seeing them return safely, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Bang Geng, did you have fun?"

Banggeng nodded: "Yes, Mom, today Brother Han Xiaodong took me to the river to catch fish. It was so much fun!"

Qin Huairu touched Banggeng's head and said with a smile: "That's good, let Brother Han Xiaodong take you there next time."

The days passed peacefully. Han Xiaodong not only helped her solve the little troubles in life, but also often chatted with her and shared their concerns.

, Qin Huairu came over with a plate of freshly cooked dishes: "Han Xiaodong, I made your favorite braised pork again today, come to my house for dinner."

I'll be right there."

During the meal, Qin Huairu suddenly asked, "Han Xiaodong, have you ever thought about the future?"

Han Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Qin Huairu seriously: "Sister Qin, do you mean work or life?"

Qin Huairu smiled slightly: "It's all okay. You are so young, have you ever thought about starting a family?"

Han Xiaodong smiled and scratched his head: "Starting a family, this... I haven't really thought about it carefully. I mainly want to do my job well first. As for starting a family, it depends on fate."

Qin Huairu nodded, with a trace of relief on her face: "You are a good and responsible young man. I believe you will meet the right person."
