Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Li Tianyi and the comrade stood quietly on the river bank. A small boat came to the shore silently. The comrade stepped forward to negotiate and then waved to Li Tianyi.

Li Tianyi immediately walked over and heard the comrade say, "This is Comrade Xu. He will be responsible for taking you to the other side."

Comrade Xu nodded to Li Tianyi and asked him to get on board quickly. Li Tianyi went on board without hesitation.

Comrade Xu paddled the boat, and it swayed away from the shore.

"Comrade Xu, how long will it take us to reach the other side?" It was pitch black around Li Tianyi, with only a kerosene lamp on the bow illuminating the way ahead.

After a while, Comrade Xu finally spoke up: "Mr. Li, there's no need to call me comrade. Since you're not very old, just call me Old Xu."

"According to our current speed, we can get there in about two hours."

"Old Xu, do I still need to contact you when I come back?"

Old Xu shook his head, but then he realized that it was too dark and Mr. Li couldn't see his movements clearly, so he said, "You don't have to do that. Someone will arrange it for you when the time comes."

Li Tianyi understood, and they didn't talk for the rest of the journey. After about two hours, Lao Xu turned off the oil lamp on the bow, and then slowly rowed forward. Soon, the outline of the other side came into view vaguely.

Li Tianyi finally let go of his worry. He waited for the boat to dock and jumped onto the shore. Old Xu nodded at Li Tianyi and then rowed into the darkness.

Li Tianyi looked around and didn't find anyone to meet him, so Li Tianyi hid in the shadow of the trees and observed his surroundings quietly.

But after waiting for more than an hour and watching the sky begin to turn pale, there was still no sign of the person coming. Li Tianyi was filled with anger. Although he didn't know what had happened, he was very dissatisfied with this group of people for being so unpunctual.

Li Tianyi didn't want to wait any longer. If it was daybreak, his clothes would expose his identity, so he had to go into the city as soon as possible and change his clothes.

Thinking of this, Li Tianyi entered the space. Just when he was about to use the space to enter the city, he suddenly remembered the things he had collected before he was liberated, and there seemed to be some high-end clothes.

So Li Tianyi started searching, and half an hour later, he actually found two very good suits. Li Tianyi put on the suits, stood in front of the mirror and fixed his hair, then changed into a handbag and put $1000 in it.

A successful gentleman appeared in front of the mirror. After Li Tianyi confirmed it again, he came out of the space and walked towards the road.

After getting on the road and looking at the endless stream of cars, Li Tianyi stretched out his hand to stop a taxi. Soon a taxi stopped beside Li Tianyi. Li Tianyi opened the door and got in the car. Then he asked the driver in English where he could apply for an identity card as he had lost his identity certificate.

The driver did not suspect that Li Tianyi came from the mainland, because Li Tianyi was wearing all branded clothes and had a noble temperament, which made him completely different from the group of mainlanders the driver had met before.

Not to mention Li Tianyi's London accent. In the period when Hong Kong was still ruled by the Eagle Sauce, the London accent already indicated one's identity.

The driver did not dare to delay and immediately told Li Tianyu what he knew. Li Tianyu asked him to take him there.

The car quickly drove into the traffic and disappeared, and the person responsible for picking up Li Tianyi arrived late, drunk.

After looking around nearby and not finding any trace of Li Tianyi, the man was sobered up a little by the shock. He had originally gone out and was heading here tonight, but was stopped by his girlfriend, who insisted that he accompany her to the bar to play for a while. The man had no choice but to agree.

Anyway, this kind of thing happened more than once or twice. Those people didn't dare to say anything before, so he was safe. But this time, no one was seen. The man knew that he was in trouble, so he didn't care about anything else and drove to the mainland office in Hong Kong Island.

The taxi took Li Tianyi to the Hong Kong Island Government Office. It was still early and the office had not yet opened. Li Tianyi paid the fare and gave the driver a $10 tip. The driver became even more respectful to Li Tianyi.

Li Tianyi found a breakfast shop nearby and ordered some breakfast, of course speaking English. It was not that he was a foreigner, but he could not speak or understand Cantonese at all. In order not to be exposed, he could only pretend to be an overseas Chinese who had just returned from abroad.

Fortunately, his attire and temperament were quite suitable, so no one doubted his identity.

After breakfast, Li Tianyi walked into the office as soon as it opened. At that time, corruption was rampant in Hong Kong, officials and bandits were colluding, and underworld forces were rampant, so money could get things done.

Li Tianyi spent 100 US dollars to get himself a Hong Kong Island ID card with the name Maic Li on it. This is an ID card that is not afraid of being checked. With it, Li Tianyi can buy a house and a car in Hong Kong Island and live a normal life, of course, if Li Tianyi can give up everything in China.

After leaving the office, Li Tianyi took a taxi to the Hong Kong Island office.

This Hong Kong Island office is ostensibly a newspaper company, but secretly it is a base of the country in Hong Kong Island. It is responsible for purchasing emergency supplies and equipment for the country. It is also a mouthpiece for the country facing the outside world, reporting on some domestic policies and events.

In fact, the Hong Kong government also knows the existence of this place, but in order not to make things too awkward with the mainland, they just acquiesced to it.

Li Tianyi did not come directly to the newspaper office, but stopped the car nearby. He sat at a coffee stall from where he could observe the entrance of the newspaper office.

An hour later, Li Tianyi did not find anything unusual, so he slowly walked into the newspaper office.

The girl at the front desk of the newspaper politely asked Li Tianyi why he came. Li Tianyi said that he wanted to meet the president. Just when the girl was about to refuse, Li Tianyi said that a friend from the mainland asked him to give the president a message.

The girl at the front desk immediately stopped her refusal and said, "Please wait a moment. I will contact the president. What is your name, sir?"

"Maic·Li"

Afterwards, the girl at the front desk started to contact the president. After explaining the situation to the president on the phone, Li Tianyi was arranged to the meeting room on the second floor. Li Tianyi just looked at the surrounding environment quietly. He also took a sip of tea from time to time, without any nervousness.

After finishing the matters at hand, the president came to the second floor. As soon as he met the young man, he secretly looked at him. He didn't know this person, so what was his purpose in coming to see him?

Li Tianyi was the first to extend his hand, "Hello, President, I am Li Tianyi."
