Siheyuan: Starting from the Old Society

However, they didn't know what kind of shocking conspiracy was waiting for them...

"Comrade Sian, you've suffered!" Song Qingyang held Lin Sian's hand, tears welling up in his eyes. "If we hadn't arrived in time, you would have been killed today!"

"Brother Song, you are too kind. It's all misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Lin Sian smiled faintly, but in his heart he was thinking about how to avenge this arrow.

"What a misunderstanding! These bastards from the Intelligence Department take advantage of their power to show off everywhere. I've disliked them for a long time!" Wu Ergou cursed indignantly.

"Okay, Ergou, talk less." Zhou Qiang pulled the corner of Wu Ergou's clothes, signaling him to stop talking nonsense.

"Let's go back first. This is not the place to talk." Jiang Zhongwen said, and led everyone away from this place of trouble.

When I returned to the Second Department, Director Gong was already waiting in the office.

"Si'an, are you okay? I'm really sorry for you this time!" Director Gong asked with concern as soon as he saw Lin Si'an.

"Director, I'm fine. It's just a minor wound. It's nothing serious." Lin Sian smiled and shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

"That's good, that's good!" Director Gong breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I have already investigated the matter this time. It was the Intelligence Department that made a mistake. I have severely criticized them and asked them to apologize to you."

Lin Sian sneered in his heart. This old fox said it so lightly. Everyone knows that the Intelligence Department is his direct force. He clearly wants to make a big deal out of a small matter!

"Director, I'm fine, it's just..." Lin Sian deliberately hesitated to speak, frowning slightly, as if he had something to hide.

Director Gong really took the bait and quickly asked, "Just what? Just tell me."

"It's just... I'm worried that my identity has been exposed, which will be very detrimental to my future work!" Lin Siyan looked worried.

"Don't worry about this. I have already made arrangements. It will be announced to the public that you have died gloriously." Director Gong said confidently.

"Sacrifice?" Lin Sian asked in surprise, "But I'm still alive!"

"I know, but only in this way can we completely dispel the doubts of the Intelligence Department and better protect your safety." Director Gong explained.

Lin Sian cursed in his heart: Old fox, you want to hide me in the dark!

"But... I still have a lot of tasks to complete!" Lin Sian still wanted to try again.

"I know, but this is an extraordinary period. You must obey the organization's arrangements." Director Gong said in a firm tone, "I have already arranged it. You will leave Peking tomorrow and go to Shanghai to carry out a new mission."

"Shanghai?" Lin Sian's heart skipped a beat. What on earth is this old fox up to?

Lin Sian was surrounded by Qiu Haitang, Zhou Qiang and Wu Ergou. He walked and received concerned greetings from his brothers, looking like a hero returning from a triumphant victory.

"Si'an, you're really good. You're actually an undercover agent from the Second Department, and you're hiding your true abilities!" Wu Ergou had a look of admiration on his face.

"That's right. Don't you see who our Si'an is? He is a rare talent. Those bastards in the Intelligence Department are nothing. How dare they arrest us brothers!" Zhou Qiang was indignant.

"Si'an, are you okay? They didn't do anything to you, did they?" Qiu Haitang looked Lin Si'an up and down worriedly, fearing that he might have lost a hair.

Lin Sian smiled innocently: "What can happen to me? I can eat and sleep well. I'm fine. But you guys are making such a fuss. If you don't know, you might think I've committed some heinous crime."

"Who said it wasn't? Qian Dahai was like a madman. If Section Chief Jiang and Director Song hadn't arrived in time, you would have died there today." Wu Ergou said with lingering fear.

"By the way, Sian, what did the Intelligence Department say? Why did they want to arrest you?" Zhou Qiang asked.

"Who knows? Maybe it was a mistake." Lin Sian turned a blind eye but secretly made a note of it in his heart.

"Are you kidding? I don't think it's that simple. Those guys in the Intelligence Department have sharper noses than dogs. Would they arrest you without any real evidence? There must be something fishy here!" Wu Ergou looked unconvinced.

"Okay, Ergou, stop talking and go back first." Qiu Haitang stopped Wu Ergou's guess and turned to Lin Sian and said, "Sian, go back and rest first. I'll go find Chief Jiang to ask about the situation."

"Okay, then I'll go back first. Don't worry too much, I'm fine." Lin Sian said, waved to the three people, turned and walked into a deep alley.

He had to go back quickly and solve the trouble. The memory of the original owner of this body was still a little fuzzy, so he had to sort it out carefully to find out who was behind it.

Back in the courtyard, Lin Sian pushed open the creaking wooden door, and a familiar smell of decay hit him in the face.

The yard was quiet and there was no one in it.

He walked across the yard and came to the main door. Just as he was about to push it open, he heard a burst of faint voices coming from inside the house.

"Mom, do you think it will work this time?"

"Don't worry, I've already talked to the matchmaker and will arrange a meeting for you tomorrow. This is a rich son-in-law, you have to seize the opportunity!"

"But......"

"But what? Look at what you are like now. If it weren't for your dad..."

Lin Sian frowned. Why did this voice sound familiar?

He gently pushed open the door and saw a ragged woman sitting by the bed, chattering to a young woman.

The woman had her back to him and he couldn't see her face clearly, but from her thin shoulders and messy hair he could tell that she had not had a good life.

"Mom, I beg you, I don't want to get married, I just want to take care of you and my brother." The woman pleaded in a crying voice.

"How can you talk like that, kid? What's wrong with getting married? If you marry a rich man, you won't have to live this hard life anymore, and your brother will be able to go to school." The woman persuaded earnestly.

"But I already..."

"What have you said? You've already been engaged to that dead guy, does that count? He's been dead for many years, do you still want to stay with him for the rest of your life?" The woman interrupted her impatiently.

"mom......"

"Stop talking, it's settled. Tomorrow you have to dress up beautifully for the blind date. If you dare to embarrass me, I will beat you to death!"

After hearing this, Lin Sian finally understood that this woman was none other than the fiancée of the original owner of this body - Qin Huairu!

He was about to show up when he saw Qin Huairu slowly turning around. Her tearful face was filled with despair and pain. Her originally clear eyes had lost their luster, leaving only endless sadness.

Lin Sian's heart suddenly shook, and a nameless anger surged up. This damn woman actually dared to go on a blind date behind his back!

Lin Sian's anger was like a volcano erupting. He pushed open the door and yelled through gnashing teeth, "Qin Huairu, you fickle bitch, how dare you go on a blind date behind my back!"

The sudden roar frightened the two women in the room so much that they trembled all over and turned to look at the door.

Qin Huairu's already pale face lost all color. She stared blankly at Lin Sian standing at the door. She could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes, which rolled down like pearls from a broken string.

"Si'an, you...you're back?" Qin Huairu's tone was full of disbelief, with a hint of barely perceptible panic and shame.

"What? Are you disappointed to see me come back? Are you hoping that I will die so that you can remarry and live your good life?" Lin Sian approached Qin Huairu step by step, his tone icy and piercing, like a sharp blade, viciously cutting into her heart.

"No, no, Sian, listen to my explanation, things are not what you think..." Qin Huairu wanted to explain in a panic, but Lin Sian grabbed her wrist and pulled her up from the bed roughly.

"Explanation? What else is there to explain? I heard what you and Jia Zhang said with my own ears. Do you still want to deny it?" Lin Sian glared at Qin Huairu, his eyes burning with rage.

"I..." Qin Huairu was so frightened by Lin Sian's eyes that she dared not speak. She could only shake her head helplessly, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing this, Jia Zhang, who was standing by, quickly stepped forward to protect Qin Huairu, pointing at Lin Sian's nose and yelling, "Lin Sian, you are such a heartless person. How has Huairu treated you all these years? How dare you talk to her like this? Do you still have a conscience?"

"Shut up! You old hag, do you have the right to speak here?" Lin Sian turned her head suddenly and glared at Jia Zhang fiercely.

Jia Zhang was frightened by Lin Si'an's eyes and took two steps back, but she still said with all her might: "What? Did I say something wrong? Don't you look at your current situation? You are a temporary worker in the street office, with such a small salary every month, and you can't even support yourself. You still want to marry a wife? My daughter marrying you is a blessing you have cultivated for eight lifetimes, and you are still not satisfied?"

"That's right. If it weren't for your father's sake, do you think I would marry a poor guy like you?" Qin Huairu couldn't help but interrupt, her tone full of disgust and contempt.

When Lin Sian heard this, he became even more furious. He pushed Qin Huairu away, pointed at her nose and yelled, "Okay! Okay! Okay! Since you all think that I, Lin Sian, am not worthy of you, then let's call it quits! From now on, you go your way and I go mine, and we won't interfere with each other!"

After saying that, Lin Sian turned around and walked out, but was grabbed by Qin Huairu.

"Si'an, don't go, I..." Qin Huairu's face was full of panic and helplessness. She didn't know why she held Lin Si'an. It was obviously she who said those hurtful words first. But when Lin Si'an was really about to leave, her heart seemed to be pulled hard by something, making her feel inexplicable panic and uneasiness.
