Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

After the three got off the train, they immediately asked someone about the location of the state-owned restaurant where He Daqing currently worked, and took a bus to the restaurant.

The scale of Baocheng is still incomparable to that of Sijiucheng. The city seems very small, the streets are very narrow, and not as clean as those in Sijiucheng.

After getting on the bus, Lin Geng used his keen intuition to immediately discover that there were two guys in the car that looked strange, so he paid attention to two men in their twenties and thirties.

Sure enough, as soon as the two guys got on the bus, they started to push and shove each other. They soon discovered that Lin Geng, Sha Zhu and the other two were from outside the area, so they squeezed towards them.

Lin Geng ignored them and silently watched the actions of the two guys out of the corner of his eye. After a while, one of the two guys squeezed next to him and the other squeezed next to Sha Zhu and started to pick their pockets.

Lin Gengke would not tolerate them. When one of them just put his hand into his pocket, he grabbed the guy's wrist with lightning speed, twisted it with his backhand, and dislocated the thief's wrist with a click.

The pickpocket he caught immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, squatted on the ground, covering his wrist, and cursing in pain, but he completely lost his fighting ability in an instant.

Another thief who was attacking Sha Zhu was so frightened when he heard his accomplice's screams that he shuddered. He turned his head and saw that his accomplice's wrist was deformed and he was squatting on the ground with his arm in his hands, howling like a ghost. His expression tensed up and he glared at Lin Geng fiercely.

Lin Geng flexed his wrist and shouted, "Don't panic, these two people are thieves! I found them! Don't let them get away!"

As soon as the thief saw that their identities were exposed, he immediately pulled out a dagger from his bosom with a ferocious look on his face, pointed it at Lin Geng and cursed: "You outsider, you dare to ruin our good deeds, you are looking for death! I will make you bleed today! Everyone, step back! Step back, otherwise my knife will have no eyes!"

The passengers in the carriage were startled when they heard the shouts of Lin Geng and the thief, and immediately fled to both sides of the carriage. He Yushui was so frightened that she screamed and hid behind Lin Geng.

Lin Geng was not afraid of this guy at all. With his current physical fitness and reaction speed, he was confident that he could defeat him bare-handed even if this guy held a machete, let alone a dagger.

So he immediately moved towards the thief who was waving the knife at him. The thief was actually very nervous at this moment. He took out the knife and threatened, but he just wanted to give himself courage, hoping to scare Lin Geng away and let them escape from the car. He didn't dare to really kill anyone.

When he saw Lin Geng approaching her fearlessly, this guy waved his dagger at Lin Geng and shouted, "Don't come over here, believe it or not, I will stab you to death! Don't come over here! If you come over again, I will really stab you!"

But Lin Geng remained unmoved and still approached him with a sneer. Finally, the guy saw that Lin Geng was not sensible at all, so he made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and stabbed Lin Geng with the dagger with a ferocious face.

At this moment, Sha Zhu finally moved. He swung his arms, raised his sandbag-sized fist, and hit the thief's back of the head with all his strength from behind.

Lin Geng also moved at the same time. He quickly dodged the knife that was stabbing at his wrist, raised his knees suddenly, stood in front of him, and hit him hard in the abdomen.

The thief was hit hard on the back of his head and in his lower abdomen at the same time. He screamed and dropped the dagger. He fell in the carriage like a shrimp, curled up, and made a ghost-like howl even more miserable than the other thief.

The two thieves were caught by Lin Geng and Sha Zhu in just a few moments. One of them had his wrist dislocated and was screaming in pain while holding his arm, not daring to move. The other one screamed a few times, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted from the pain.

Only then did the passengers in the car feel relieved and asked the car to stop and open the door so that they could get off.

Fortunately, the driver was smart enough to notice the accident and immediately shouted, "Don't get out of the car, there's a police station ahead. I'll drive to the police station and stop the car. Hand the thief over to the police. Don't let them get away!"

Then the passengers quieted down, and Lin Geng and Sha Zhu stepped forward and controlled the two thieves. Not long after, the bus arrived at the police station. The driver immediately got off the bus, ran into the police station, and informed the police station that two thieves were found on the bus and had been caught by the enthusiastic passengers.

Upon hearing this, the police on duty immediately rushed out of the police station with guns and took control of the bus. The driver then opened the door and let Lin Geng and Sha Zhu drag the two thieves off the bus like dead dogs and handed them over to the police comrades.

The police briefly questioned the passengers on the bus, and they all testified that the two men were thieves. One thief even threatened Lin Geng with a knife and tried to stab him with the knife, but was eventually knocked unconscious by Lin Geng and Sha Zhu, who then arrested them.

So the police politely asked Lin Geng, Sha Zhu and Yu Shui to get out of the car and go to the police station to cooperate in making a statement. Although Lin Geng felt that it was a bit of a waste of time, he didn't say much. He cooperated and took Yu Shui and Sha Zhu out of the car and went to the police station to make a statement.

The police asked about their identities and after reading their letters of introduction, they learned that they were from Sijiucheng who had come to Baocheng to visit relatives. They were very enthusiastic towards them and said that after the case was concluded, they would notify their units and commend them.

While chatting, Sha Zhu and Yu Shui told the purpose of their coming to Baocheng. They said that their father abandoned them ten years ago and ran away to Baocheng to live with a widow from Baocheng, and did not care about them. The public security comrades were also very angry when they heard it.

So after taking the statements, the police suggested sending them directly to the state-owned hotel, and they took them to the state-owned hotel in the only broken jeep in the station.

It was just the time when the state-owned hotel was about to close. Sha Zhu and He Yushui stood at the door of the hotel, looking up at the door, but hesitated to move forward, both looking very nervous.

Lin Geng did not rush them and walked into the hotel first. When the waiter saw Lin Geng, he was not very friendly and waved his hand, saying, "It's time to get off work. We won't serve you anymore! Go away!"

Lin Geng didn't mind and said with a smile: "Hello, I'm not here to eat! I'm here to look for someone. I wonder if Master He Daqing works in our restaurant?"

The waiter inside heard that the person was looking for He Daqing, and his accent sounded like that of a native of Beijing, so he looked at Lin Geng and nodded, saying, "Yes, that's right, we do have a Master He Daqing here! Wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen and call him for you!"

Soon a familiar face appeared in front of Lin Geng. Lin Geng took a look and thought, wow, isn't this He Daqing?

He Daqing looked at Lin Geng with his swollen eyes open, looking puzzled. He asked Lin Geng, "Who are you? I don't think I know you."

Lin Geng laughed and said to He Daqing, "Uncle He, you may not know me, but I know you! Do you still remember the courtyard at No. 95, Nanluoguxiang? A girl named Yu Xiuying?"

When He Daqing heard Lin Geng mention the 95th Courtyard in Nanluoguxiang, his swollen eyes that were originally unable to open suddenly widened, his eyeballs bulging like goldfish eyes, his face full of shock, he pointed at Lin Geng and said in surprise: "You, you, you...you are Xiao Linzi?"

Lin Geng grinned and nodded, "Yes, Uncle He, my mother is Yu Xiuying, and I am Xiao Lin! Let's not bring the child, okay? Hehe! It sounds like calling me a little eunuch!"

He Daqing was surprised and delighted. He grabbed Lin Geng's hand and seemed very excited. He shook Lin Geng's hand and asked immediately, "It's really you! Xiaolin! You've grown so big! Let Uncle He see you! Oh! You've really grown into a big boy! You really look like your mother! I was wondering, when I saw you just now, although I didn't recognize you, I always felt that you looked a little familiar!"

By the way, how is your mother? And how are my children Shazhuzi and Yushui? These two children have not replied to my letters for so many years, and I don’t know how they are doing now!

Come on, sit down, sit down and talk!"
