Chapter 1156 I thank your eight generations of ancestors!
"Hey, I told you guys that you didn't believe me, you can't blame me—"
Nie Xiaoguang looked at Wang Yimin with a gloating look on his face, stiffening his neck and saying, "If you had said something nice earlier, I wouldn't have to..."
"Shut up, you-"
Wang Yimin glared at him, his mouth twitching as he said, "Don't think I won't give you a project just because you know the leader!"
"Come on! Come on! Come on, you're welcome!"
This kid is also a bastard. He raised his hands up with all his strength, and the chain made a crackling sound.
He gestured and called out to Wang Yimin, "If you don't let me get on the project, I'll go out and say that Lao Wang from the Security Department is a coward—"
"But there is one thing we must talk about first!"
Seeing Wang Yimin coming towards him, Nie Xiaoguang glared and said, "You haven't finished accusing me yet. Let's wait and see."
"Don't glare at me, one of you will be counted as one--"
He pointed at the people in the room and said, "Either kill me today, or wait until I get out. Don't even think about it—"
"You guys are talking about organizational discipline, so I'll be a curtain, write down my experiences here, tie them to the back of a bicycle and ride around the city every day to see who loses face!"
"you--"
Wang Yimin saw this piece of meat, and he pointed his finger at him and said angrily: "You are really embarrassing your father--"
"Ahem! Ahem! Don't even mention my dad!"
After hearing this, Nie Xiaoguang became even more of a piece of shit and couldn't say anything good about it.
"You all know what happened to my father, and you all know what kind of bastard Li Huaide is."
He tilted his neck and said sternly, "Don't worry, he would have died earlier than me, we'll settle the score slowly."
"What are you talking about?"
Li Xuewu came in from outside, glanced at Nie Xiaoguang who was staring at him, waved at Wang Yimin, and said, "Take your men to support Zhou Yao."
"Yes, leader!" Wang Yimin responded, and when he passed by Li Xuewu, he quietly reminded him, "This kid is very dishonest..."
"I'm hungry--"
Just as Wang Yimin was complaining, Nie Xiaoguang pounded on the table and shouted, "I'm hungry - I want to eat -"
"Give it to him, give it to him—" Li Xuewu waved his hand to the attendant on duty and instructed: "Go to the guesthouse and buy it. Put it on my account and give him something good to eat."
The attendant glared at Nie Xiaoguang and curled his lips, but still responded and went out.
Nie Xiaoguang looked at the people in the room triumphantly, as if he had won a battle.
After Li Xuewu finished explaining himself to Wang Yimin, he turned around and went into the interrogation room.
Having just arranged for Zhou Yao to carry out the arrest operation, he went upstairs to report to Gu Weijie and called the police station to communicate.
On the one hand, it is to coordinate the notification, and on the other hand, it is to ask the branch to help investigate and arrest people.
Seeing that the case had made progress, Gu Weijie felt relaxed. She said something to Li Xuewu and went downstairs to deal with the aftermath.
The victim's body has been transported to the police station. The victim's family members have been organized and taken a bus to the police station to claim the body.
She had to be there to comfort and console people. The reason she didn't go there first was that she was waiting for accurate information from the security department.
Only when she feels at ease can she dare to make promises to the families.
Li Xuewu first sent Gu Weijie downstairs and told her about the arrangements for tonight.
Please ask her to go back and rest after she finishes arranging the matters at the branch office. I will report to her as soon as there is any result.
Seeing that Li Xuewu meant that he would not go home tonight and would stay in the factory to supervise the case, Gu Weijie had an idea in mind.
After giving a few instructions, he got in the car and left.
Zhou Yao and the police station soon received feedback that the target person Wei Guo did not return home all night last night and was nowhere to be found today.
The family members don’t know where the people have gone, and the street authorities don’t know the specific whereabouts of these people.
Another surprise investigation found that several suspicious persons mentioned by Nie Xiaoguang had all disappeared.
Finally, several people who were close to Wei Guo were arrested. According to on-site interrogation, the statements made by these people were similar to what Nie Xiaoguang said.
To talk about the cause of the incident, Li Xuewu saw it with his own eyes.
That time in the mall, Zhang Jianguo and others were humiliated by Xie Qianjin and his men, and after leaving the door, they beat Wei Guo who took the blame.
Nie Xiaoguang got to know Wei Guo, and was subsequently retaliated against, resulting in a rift between the two sides.
Nie Xiaoguang is a dog-like kid who holds grudges. If he catches Wei Guo, he will definitely get revenge.
Qiao'er's mother opened the door for Qiao'er, and Qiao arrived home -
The Red Star Factory developed motorcycle and automobile projects by applying new materials such as plastics, fiberglass, and special steel.
In terms of styling, it is more novel and beautiful than other motorcycles and cars on the market, and is very popular among young people.
Also, because the motorcycles were relatively cheap, those with connections began to try to get in on the action.
These guys who bought motorcycles first are all fashionable representatives in the city.
They pursue youth, fashion, boldness and excitement, and riding beautiful little motorcycles, they will immediately become the coolest guys.
In the past, riding a 28-inch bicycle was considered top-notch, but now it’s no longer possible.
The coolest thing now is Comet. You can ride a small motorcycle, carry a little aunt on your back, go for a ride, brag, and then hit the ball with the brakes...
Where there are people, there is the world, and where there is the world, there is comparison.
If you ride a motorcycle, I have to surpass you, otherwise I wouldn’t be a hero.
At that time, there were other brands of motorcycles, such as 250, 500, and sidecars.
However, all of these motorcycles have a bulky and clumsy appearance, and look rough. Compared with the colorful and exquisite small motorcycles like Comet, they are completely inferior.
The sound above 250 is like that of a tractor, and there is no aesthetic appeal in riding it.
If you say that motorcycles can't cover it, cars can probably do it, right?
An ordinary car would definitely work, but at this time, no matter whether you are a gangster or a veteran, who can drive a car?
Only the 212 of the security department of the compound, or the kind of security guards in the family, always have 212 on hand, and they can be secretly opened to show off.
At the beginning, 212 could certainly beat the Comet small motorcycle, but it couldn't resist the Red Star Factory's more noisy one.
Just a few days after the Comet went into mass production, small motorcycles appeared in droves on the streets of Beijing.
Before everyone’s eyes have adjusted to the new environment, the Red Star Antelope has begun trial production.
A batch of trial production products from the assembly line were circulated on the market, with priority given to the Red Star Factory and its joint cooperation units.
Of course the club is considered a cooperative unit, and so are the other cooperative units.
In fact, it was because of Li Xuewu's relationship that Yu Li purchased several Antelope jeeps from the Red Star Factory.
It is mainly used by members and also serves as a public bus.
In fact, the club has no shortage of cars. After going up the mountain, the think tank members parked their cars here.
There are a lot of imported luxury cars, Volga M24. Lou Yu was not the first one to buy it, but at that time, this was the best car.
Of course, there are also people who ride in cars like Mercedes-Benz in this era, but these think tank members are businessmen after all, and they no longer have that channel.
Just think about it, Li Huaide was the director of the Management Committee of Red Star Factory and only got to sit in this car after the Red Star Factory developed. How high his rank must be.
The club’s car service is a soft benefit. Li Xuewu used these cars when he got married.
Club members can also borrow cars or rent them when they have a happy event.
Dou Yaozu, a stingy guy, often rents the club's cars for official receptions.
The reason why Yu Li bought Gazelle cars in addition to these vehicles was that she felt that the Volga M24 was too advanced.
Sometimes it is not very suitable and members feel pressured to use it.
If you want to buy 212 but lack the necessary indicators, you may have to wait in line with your ticket for an unknown period of time.
So, since the Red Star Factory has its own car brand, and such stylish and beautiful jeeps, it might as well purchase some for leasing and service.
As soon as the Antelope car came back, it was excitedly rented by the guys from Youth Club.
For no other reason than two words: show off!
It is an honor to be able to enter the Youth Club. I often brag to my friends about how great this place is, but words are not enough.
This time it’s different. See, I can borrow a car from the club.
When I was riding Comet, you were riding 28-inch bicycles. Now you are all riding Comet, so I can’t be caught up by you, so I can ride Antelope.
This is a great honor. The face that was previously overshadowed by 212 has been regained.
Those who are familiar with the industry know that the power and collision resistance of the Antelope car produced by the Red Star Factory are not as good as those of the 212 Jeep, and even the vehicle size is a size smaller.
Sitting in a 212 car and an Antelope car gives you two completely different feelings.
Do you think that 212 is more spacious and must be better? Wrong——
The guys all have a plan in mind. With a radio and heater, as well as comfortable seats and a more relaxed steering wheel, the Antelope can beat the 212.
Putting aside other things, the interior of the 212 car is like a bare house, with nothing in it.
In addition to more novel features, the interior of the Antelope car is surrounded by textile materials that feel nice to the touch and are definitely not the rough industrial texture of waterproof cloth.
Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.
Li Yuanchao and his men drove out the Antelope cars, and the sound of their beeps was deafening. Do you think the old soldiers in the city could sit still or not?
They are all people who care about their reputation. They live for their face. If they want Li Yuanchao to be the leader, they will have to be more confident when they see him in the future.
We can't call him big brother, and we can't let him get the upper hand. We have to get a car like this.
It's called Antelope, right? Let's get it——
You can imagine how crazy these kids are at this time. Let me put it this way, they have no bottom line.
When fighting, they can bring out a light machine gun, steal the jeep from home, and even steal my treasured Japanese sword.
We cannot say that they are lawless, we can only say that they lack education and their parents have no safety awareness, just like little piglets, who are allowed to roam freely and only realize how late it is to regret when something happens.
Another thing is that at this time the whole nation was martial, the people were tough and full of martial ethics.
Cold weapons and hot weapons are not difficult to obtain for these daring people.
Just think about it, if they can bring out hot weapons, what’s the point of destroying your new car?
At best we were ignorant. We should coordinate where possible and apologize where necessary. The worst that can happen is that we will be imprisoned for a year or two.
But all this can only be achieved after we have shown off our cars and gained face in front of our friends.
At this time, face is more important than anything else. Those who have never experienced hardship believe that face is more important than life.
If you lose face, what's the point of living? You won't be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life.
It's not their fault. It's only been a dozen years since liberation, and this was the old society before that. No matter how much it changes, there are still remnants of the bad influence, and their thinking is not advanced enough.
So, coincidences met coincidences, and in order to save face, these people planned to buy a car.
Because it was a trial production, not many units were produced in total, and they had to be supplied to offices across the country as samples, and also meet the requirements of various departments within the Red Star Factory to replace official vehicles as soon as possible.
Although it can be seen on the streets, it is definitely not rampant.
If they really want to grab one on the street, they don't dare to do so because it is illegal.
If we were to ask which factory has the most Antelope cars, it would definitely be the Red Star Factory.
Of course it's not possible to do it in the factory. The security and management in other factories are lax, but they still have the courage to go in and drive one out for fun.
The security management of the Red Star Factory is the strictest. There are iron wire fences on the walls of the factory area. Even a cat would be hung on them, let alone a person.
The security at the gate is more than twice as spirited and cautious as that of other factories. Without a professional ID or an acquaintance to guide you, you can't get in at all.
The security guards just held their guns and did nothing, but those old idiots were too idle to ask questions and it was impossible to fool them.
Therefore, there is no way to steal in the factory. The only thing to do is to wait outside and wait for the driver to be left alone, so that you can go up and snatch the goods and drive away.
"I estimate that—"
Nie Xiaoguang took a bite of rice, raised his eyebrows, and muttered, "They want to rob the car first, and then when it runs out of gas, just throw it away. Anyway, you can't catch him."
"As long as the driver doesn't recognize them and they're not caught in the act, they will always find a way to get away."
He was pulled off the kang at noon and hadn't eaten yet.
You little brat, you're starving me. I was busy all night and didn't even have breakfast.
So with two large boxes of rice and a large box of barbecued pork, my mouth was full of fat.
Li Xuewu is also willing to spend a huge amount of money. As long as he can solve the case, it will be worth it even if he has to feed this kid dragon meat.
Nie Xiaoguang is also a bastard. He doesn't answer questions when others ask him questions and his nonchalant attitude is so annoying.
But in front of Li Xuewu, he became a good boy again. Without being asked, he kept talking, as if he was afraid that Li Xuewu would stop talking to him, and all he talked about was "inside" information.
Of course, this inside refers to their so-called circle, that is, the outer circle of veterans.
Hi, no matter how big a circle is, there will always be peripheries and a chain of contempt. Don’t be weird or surprised.
"Tell me, why do they think that we wouldn't arrest them even if we knew it was them?" Li Xuewu asked, folding his arms and sitting on a chair, "If there hadn't been such a bad accident, we wouldn't have arrested them."
"hehe--"
Nie Xiaoguang raised his head and glanced at Li Xuewu, then chuckled and said, "Do you even need to ask this?"
"Don't tease me, this is not my first day in this business, and you are not—"
He smiled and licked the rice grains at the corner of his mouth, saying: "You are our idol. Everyone in the city knows you."
"..."
The other staff on duty in the room pursed their lips hard to prevent themselves from smiling.
Some even turned around and left the interrogation room. This was not something they wanted to hear.
If the leader's past were to get out, they would be in big trouble.
Li Xuewu didn't care. He came to interrogate Nie Xiaoguang personally because he knew that he would talk nonsense.
"Well, let's go back to the beginning—"
He tapped the table with his fingers and asked, "What do you think was the situation, or the state of mind, under which these people in Weiguo suddenly committed murder?"
"It's okay, I know it has nothing to do with you, I'm just asking."
Li Xuewu raised his chin and said, "You have followed him for such a long time, you must have some understanding of his character and personality."
"Don't feel any psychological burden, just chat casually, maybe he will come before you finish talking."
"Hehe, I'm not afraid that he will get out and take revenge on me. He can't get out either."
Nie Xiaoguang laughed and said, "I'm not afraid of you, I just want to see him get into trouble."
"Don't accuse me of taking revenge on someone else or being petty. I hate being bullied the most."
He looked at Li Xuewu and said, "At the beginning, he wanted to take revenge alone, so I took over wherever he went."
"But he not only ambushed me, he also destroyed my home. There's no denying that."
"Well, just chatting--"
Li Xuewu leaned back in his chair, his right leg folded over his left leg, and said, "I have to wait for him here anyway. I have nothing to do anyway, so let's talk about this."
"No problem, as long as you don't chase me away--"
Nie Xiaoguang said with a wicked smile: "I have to stay here to watch the fun. I can't come here for nothing!"
"Hey! I'm talking to you, kid!"
The security guard laughed and scolded: "You really think you are a guest. We invited you to watch the show!"
"Don't talk about that. You even hit me in the stomach, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
Nie Xiaoguang rolled his eyes at him, and ignored the security guard who changed color in front of Li Xuewu. He raised his head and said, "I will definitely cooperate."
"After all, my brother Li is here. No matter who doesn't give face, I must give face to Brother Li."
He was full, so he pushed away the lunch box in front of him and burped. Then, taking advantage of the time when he was not handcuffed, he waved to the security guard and asked for some tea, saying that he was thirsty.
The security guard made him a cup of tea with an awkward look on his face and took away the lunch box on the table.
It was almost six o'clock and it was getting dark. The people on duty today started to change shifts and have lunch, but Li Xuewu stayed to keep him company.
Nie Xiaoguang took a sip of hot tea and asked Li Xuewu, "Brother Li, do you have any cigarettes?"
"Don't be so arrogant!" The security guard glared at him and cursed, "I'm giving you face, right?"
"No, I quit smoking a long time ago."
Li Xuewu spread his hands and ignored the security guard's words. He rarely directly managed people now.
He just asked Nie Xiaoguang sincerely, "Why don't I go out and buy some for you? What brand do you like?"
"never mind--"
Nie Xiaoguang is just looking for trouble. He is taking advantage of his power to make trouble for no reason.
But the more Li Xuewu ignored him, the more helpless he became, and he just felt it was boring.
Li Xuewu really had to go out and buy cigarettes for him, and he never showed up when he said he was going out.
Being offered a cigarette personally by Li Xuewu is what it means to be a real man.
So he didn't play tricks this time and answered whatever Li Xuewu asked.
"I may be talking nonsense, or I may be wrong, but that's what I said."
Nie Xiaoguang was still very cautious when he was serious. When he saw Li Xuewu nod, he said, "Weiguo is not a heartless person. He was probably tricked by someone and had no choice but to..."
"You may not know that there is a desperado with him, who is the most vicious."
He said: "I followed him back from the Northwest, and he has always taken care of me and worked as his thug. He was supported by the country."
"Last time he came to my house and beat me, he pulled out the cord of the lamp and tried to hit me in the throat."
Nie Xiaoguang himself is a ruthless man, who is not afraid of ruthlessness and is also the kind of person who dares to do shady things.
But it was still not enough in front of such a desperado. People in later generations could not imagine how cruel the people at that time were.
Perhaps we can only look through history or check news reports after the 1980s to get a glimpse of clues, but that was after the regulation.
But now, Li Xuewu doesn't allow the women in his family to go out at night, and this is the reason.
If you say you want to go to the toilet at the gate from the compound, that's nothing. But with a loud shout, people going from one end of the alley can be blocked from going to the other end. Who is so bold as to cause trouble in the alley?
The hutong is equivalent to the village below. Have you ever heard of anyone causing trouble in the village?
I'll dig a hole and bury you, and no one will be able to find you for ten or twenty years.
When you were a child in the city, you learned that if you had any problems, you should go to the police uncle. But if you ask children who grew up in the countryside, you will know how old they were when they saw the police uncle.
The most responsible person is called the security director. He can basically handle all disputes and conflicts except those involving human lives. Who would run dozens of miles to call the police?
Of course, things are different in the city, but there are rules when kids fight.
You see, Nie Xiaoguang said that Wei Guo brought people to smash his house and tried to electrocute him with electric wires.
But he didn't even mention calling the police, and the meaning was very clear.
I will return the favor you gave me. If I really called the police, not only would I lose the chance to retaliate, I would also lose my chance to hang around my friends.
So, don't overestimate Nie Xiaoguang. He is no different from people like Wei Guo.
I will be timid when I should be timid, and I will be ruthless when I should be ruthless.
If you say he is ruthless and not cowardly, how did he get away with it in front of Wei Guo?
If you ask him to kneel down and call you grandpa, he will do it. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him.
Of course, they are the ones who are now playing dirty and taking revenge on personal grudges.
What the hell is this stubborn morality and veteran spirit? They're all empty talk.
He knew that Weiguo would never be able to get out after he came in. Given Li Xuewu's fighting style, hitting him with a target would be the least of his worries. Once he got out, he could brag about it however he wanted.
"He is a ruthless person. When he gets excited, he will do something ruthless. Sometimes even the Wei Kingdom can't stop him."
Nie Xiaoguang explained: "According to my estimation, it was pitch dark and the man was very ruthless. Someone died and he knew he couldn't hold back."
"If I kill one, I'll die. But if I kill them all, I still have time and a chance to escape. So, that's it..."
"Leader, all members of the criminal gang have been identified."
The duty officer came in and reported quietly, "Section Chief Zhou replied that there are five people, including Weiguo, nicknamed Dianzi, Fork, Manshan, Gudong and Tiger. We have already got information about the other people, and we are still investigating Weiguo's information."
"Just one order—"
Li Xuewu gave clear instructions to the duty officer: "Everyone must come to justice!"
"Yes!"
The officer on duty saluted, turned around and trotted out.
The interrogation room was not big, and the officer on duty did not report secretly, so Nie Xiaoguang heard it.
After the attendant left, he continued to introduce: "Dian Zi, Cha Zi and Man Shan are his brother Wei Min's sworn brothers. Later, Wei Min died, so they got together."
"Tiger is the ruthless man who came back from the Northwest. I don't know his real name. Maybe his last name is Hu, or his name may contain the character Tiger. This is usually the case."
"What's the situation with the antiques?"
Li Xuewu didn't know much about Weiguo's situation, but he met him several times later.
Although he is not very familiar with the people around him, he has beaten them several times.
Dian Zi, Cha Zi and Man Shan were the ones he met when he just came back. They went to a roast duck restaurant to eat roast duck after meeting Lin Tingting. They happened to be there when Wei Guo and others were hosting a welcome party for Wei Min, and they were at the table.
It was also at that time that Li Xuewu met Gu Ning again in the capital.
I have to say, fate really plays tricks on people. After going around in circles, it still happens to these people.
Of course, this time, no matter how naughty fate is, it should come to an end.
It is more inevitable for the young people of the era than to say it is an accident of fate.
As for the actions of Wei Min and Wei Guo, it was not just Li Xuewu who recruited them, but someone else as well.
"Gudong'er is actually a bastard. His mother used to be Sister Yao from the Eight Great Hutongs. He has been hanging around in this city since he was a child. He is considered to have some skills, but he is also a petty thief."
Nie Xiaoguang explained: "His only ability is that he is well-informed. I don't know where he got it from, but he has sharp ears."
"He was the one who found our house. He was like a rat in a fucking sewer."
"Well, if you say so, the one who dares to attack the most among these people is this tiger, right?"
Li Xuewu looked at the notebook in his hand, which contained some of the information Nie Xiaoguang had just mentioned.
He asked, "Anything else you'd like to add?"
"Tiger is just a tiger. He dares to do dirty things, but if we want to kill them all, it's Weiguo. He is the leader of these people."
Nie Xiaoguang nodded his head and reminded: "Tiger listens to him very much. If he hadn't given the order, these people would never dare to kill him, including Tiger."
"Weiguo grew up in the compound, so he's definitely good at surveillance. Whether it's an ambush or a deliberate scene, it's not unfair to shoot all these people together."
"Well, thank you for your analysis. Are you still hungry?"
Li Xuewu put away his notebook, motioned to Nie Xiaoguang and asked, "Would you like some midnight snack or something? I think it will be late at night."
"That's a good feeling!"
Nie Xiaoguang didn't pretend, and asked very bluntly: "Can we still eat braised pork?"
"It's late at night, don't you feel bored?"
Li Xuewu smiled and glanced at him, then said to the attendant, "Call the guesthouse and leave him a grilled fish, about three pounds."
After explaining, he looked at Nie Xiaoguang and asked, "Would you like some beer? We brew it ourselves and it will be available to the whole factory soon."
"Forget it. Grilled fish is enough. I have to stay alert to defend my country."
Nie Xiaoguang looked at Li Xuewu cautiously and asked, "Don't be like that. It's as if you're going to give me a last minute meal. I'm a little scared."
"Where's your energy just now?"
The attendant scolded him and said, "Now you know you are too scared--"
"None of your business! If anyone is going to be polite, it should be me and my brother Li!"
People like Nie Xiaoguang cannot be treated well. If Li Xuewu hadn't been here, the duty officer would really like to give him a project.
Of course, a kid like this would most likely not be convinced even if he were on the project.
Unless you are ruthless and hang him for a few days.
But it is basically certain that this case has nothing to do with him. If we really want to get rid of him, the leader will not let us do it.
So to deal with this kind of stinky shit, you can only ignore him.
"Come on, just wait here." Li Xuewu held up his notebook, nodded to Nie Xiaoguang and said, "I also have to go eat, and come back to wait for Weiguo together."
"You're giving him too much face—"
Nie Xiaoguang flattered him, "The security department has been dispatched, and the little Weiguo is easily captured!"
"Stop flattering me—" The attendant escorted the leader away, turned back and glared at him, "You are a dog, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense to me--"
Nie Xiaoguang leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, and said, "With me, Brother Li, this is both a business matter and a personal matter. With you guys, hum——"
"Stop trying to get close to me and order me some grilled fish. Make it more spicy!"
-
"Boss, you are here. I said I would send you a meal."
Seeing Li Xuewu entering the yard, Xiao Jin was the first to come out and greet him with a smile.
Li Xuewu looked her over, smiled, nodded and said, "It looks like you have a happy marriage. You even have fat on your face from happiness."
"You're just going to laugh at me—"
Xiao Jin took his arm intimately, walked into the hall together and said: "I am fat, but it is a happy fat, so good——"
"Hey, Chief Qin is on duty—"
As soon as Li Xuewu entered the hall, he saw Qin Huairu standing by the bar.
Seeing him come in, Qin Huairu also greeted him: "Didn't you say you were busy?"
She came over and looked at Li Xuewu, then asked with concern, "How's the case going?"
"It's being processed. The security department is out on a field trip. I'm free for now. I'll have dinner."
Li Xuewu ordered some Xiao Jin and said, "Tell the kitchen to give me a bowl of noodles. No eggs, just clear soup noodles, good for the stomach."
“I really want to live to be a hundred years old!”
Qin Huairu glanced at him in a reproachful manner and said, "I dare not eat anything. I have lost the taste of life."
As she said this, she told Xiao Jin, "I want shredded pork noodles with an egg."
"Hey——" Li Xuewu looked at her amusedly and asked, "Are you going to eat it, or am I going to eat it?"
"Don't be so ignorant, I'm doing this for your own good—"
Qin Huairu pushed his arm, motioning him to go to the office, and advised: "You have to be busy until midnight tonight, are you really unwilling to eat any oil and water? Can you bear it——"
"He's a tall guy over 1.80 meters tall. He'd look ugly if he lost weight. He'd look like a telephone pole."
"Well, you'd say, if I were a telephone pole, then what would a telephone pole be?"
Knowing that Qin Huairu wanted him to have a quiet meal, the small restaurant was crowded and he would inevitably run into people he knew. He would be too busy to greet them and chat with them, so it would be more appropriate for him to eat in their office.
Just as I was chatting and laughing, I opened the door and entered the office, only to see Yu Shui sitting on the chair.
"Why are you here?"
"What's it to you?"
The rain was falling, and he was holding a red book in his hand seriously, just like he was studying.
She glanced at Li Xuewu, turned around, looked at the book in her hand and asked, "Are you here to find a meal?"
"I don't want to be poor and destitute. I really want to beg for food at your door--"
Li Xuewu sat down on another chair, took the tea Qin Huairu brought over and said, "With your face like this, I can't afford it."
"Oh - you still care about this!"
Yu Shui turned around, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Don't worry. If the day comes when you have to beg for food, even if others don't care about you, I will definitely take care of you!"
"With this physique, you won't starve to death even if you do long-term work. Whoever catches you will be treated like a good master and served, right, Sister Qin?"
"You two just bicker—"
Qin Huairu could sense what was going on. She glared at Yu Shui in a reproachful manner, then turned to look at Li Xuewu and asked, "Is someone really dead?"
"You've heard—"
Li Xuewu put down the teacup in his hand. He was not in the mood to talk about this. He looked at Yu Shui and asked, "Are you on duty or off duty today?"
"I'm off duty. I won't start work until tomorrow. Don't rush me. I won't hold you back."
Yu Shui pulled the corners of her mouth. Ever since she cried with Li Xuewu that day, she seemed like a different person. She was free and easy, and even had the strength to poke people's lungs.
"Hey, what do you say about me being transferred to the Red Star Factory? I don't want to work in the workshop anymore."
"Okay, go talk to someone else—"
Li Xuewu leaned back in his chair, not even looking at her, and said, "Why are you asking me?"
"I am yours, who else should I ask if not you?"
He Yushui was really bold, and dared to say anything with a raised face, "It's boring for me to stay in the textile factory. There are too many gossips, which are irritating."
"If you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. What's yours, mine, and his? Do you think he's your enemy?"
Qin Huairu stood beside Yu Shui, leaned against the desk and patted her, saying: "You don't even look like you're begging for help—"
"Don't ask me for help. I am an upright person and I don't do private things."
Li Xuewu tilted his head, curled his lips, and said, "If you have the ability, you can transfer to China. No one will care about you. It's your own fault that you are surrounded by gossip."
"Did I ask you?" Yu Shui curled her lips in the same way and said nonchalantly, "It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. I don't care about it anyway."
"Ah, my goodness, I am really impressed by you. Are you just three-year-old kids?"
Qin Huairu was really anxious when she saw the two of them. She walked up to Li Xuewu and whispered to him, "She's feeling bad too."
"If there is anything going on between you two, I won't care."
She gently pushed Li Xuewu's shoulder and said, "Why are you so angry with her? You must be stupid. Can you really just stand by and watch?"
"People in the hospital are gossiping and they all know what's going on, but the news is spreading in the factory..."
"I am upright, what should I be afraid of?"
Li Xuewu glanced at her, then looked at He Yushui and said, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."
"I don't know how this crooked tree of mine caught your eye, and you insisted on hanging it here."
"go--"
Qin Huairu found that what he said was unpleasant, so she gently pushed him and advised: "She knows that she feels bad, so she has admitted her mistake."
"You call this admitting a mistake?"
Li Xuewu pointed at He Yushui who was staring at him and said, "Ask her what she said in my office."
"I'm right, I just fell in love with you--"
He Yushui lowered his chin and said, "My shitty life is like this anyway. If I look for someone else, it will be like a widow. I might as well be happy for the rest of my life."
"You filthy scoundrel, this isn't——"
Li Xuewu glared at her and said, "You are happy to be a nun, why are you dragging me along?"
"You are the one who became a nun—"
Yu Shui curled the corners of her mouth, not showing any sign of anger at all.
She tilted her neck and said, "I don't want to destroy your family, and I don't want to force you to be a bad person."
"Thank you! Thank you, lady, for not killing me!"
Li Xuewu clasped his hands together, bowed exaggeratedly and said, "If you let me go, I will thank your ancestors for eight generations!"
"Oh my, these two are so funny——"
Qin Huairu heard the noise at the door, opened the door, took the bowl of noodles in, handed it to Li Xuewu, and said, "You two can put on a show together."
"I can not want anything, but you have to take care of me."
Yu Shui just looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I'll wait for you here. It's none of your business."
"Well, this is the first time I've heard of someone trying to blackmail someone like this."
Li Xuewu took the chopsticks, picked up some noodles and said, "Just wait here, we'll see you in a hundred years."
"It doesn't matter—"
Yu Shui pulled out a chair and sat next to Li Xuewu, snatched the chopsticks from his hand, took a mouthful of noodles and said: "You'd better live a hundred years. If you die before me, I will dig up your grave and lie down beside you and die together."
"You-you are so cruel!"
Li Xuewu's back teeth were almost broken, he felt helpless watching this psychopath who wanted to dig up his own grave.
Qin Huairu was helpless and amused. She went to find another pair of chopsticks and handed them to Li Xuewu. She patted He Yushui who was deliberately trying to anger him and said, "Didn't you have dinner?"
"It's okay. He's very tolerant."
He Yushui turned around, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "If you are really angry because of me, I will be happy."
"Dream on—"
Li Xuewu glared and pouted, "I'm not angry at all now. I feel very happy."
"There's a girl who's desperately chasing me and willing to be my mistress. Why should I be angry? If you're not afraid of death, then why would I be afraid of being buried?"
"Sister Qin, did you hear that?"
He Yushui turned around, motioned to Li Xuewu and said, "He won't be angry. If he is angry, he won't eat a single bite of noodles, for fear of hurting his stomach."
"You--"
Qin Huairu scolded her and looked at Li Xuewu for instructions: "Songying is short of manpower, do you think we can..."
"Her?" Li Xuewu grinned, not even looking at the rain, and said, "She's so ugly and she wants to go to the International Hotel? What if it affects the image of our factory?"
"I don't want to go to the International Hotel either. What's so good about that?"
He Yushui looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Since I'm ugly, I'm not suitable to go to the Security Department."
"Yeah, you're suitable for the night shift!"
Li Xuewu took a few bites of the noodles in the bowl when he saw Peng Xiaoli leaning his head forward to knock on the door.
He waved and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Leader, the one nicknamed Manshan, was caught by Section Chief Zhou and his men when he secretly ran home to get some clothes," Peng Xiaoli reported. "During the on-site interrogation, he refused to reveal the location of the others."
"Oh, I didn't expect to meet such a hero among the common people."
Li Xuewu was still angry, so he nodded and said, "Then please ask this good man to come back and have a seat."
"What does it mean to be suitable for the night shift?"
When He Yushui saw him leave, he frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly stood up and chased after him, shouting, "Asshole! You are the one who is trying to ward off evil spirits!"
