Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

After determining the target, Xu Damao carefully walked to another empty room, gently opened the door and slipped in. He began to search every corner carefully, but in the end found nothing.

Arriving at the door of the resting room, Xu Damao stopped, gently stretched out his hand, and tentatively pushed the door. To his surprise, the door was not locked, but only ajar. Xu Damao was secretly happy, but at the same time he became more cautious. He carefully pushed the door open a crack, then slipped sideways into the room.

After entering the room, Xu Damao looked around. The room was very simple, with only a worn-out bed and a cabinet. The driver was curled up in the quilt, with only half of his head exposed, sleeping soundly.

Xu Damao tiptoed to the closet, opened the door, and checked carefully, but found nothing valuable except some tattered clothes.

"Are all the things in the room where Brother Niu sleeps?" Xu Damao thought to himself. He frowned and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he made a decision, turned around and left the side room, carefully closing the door, trying not to make any noise.

Then, Xu Damao tiptoed towards the main room. When he arrived at the main room door, he reached out and tried to push the main room door again. This time, the door was pushed open!

Xu Damao was delighted, but he did not dare to take it lightly. In order to avoid making noise when opening the door, he lifted the door a little, and then slowly pushed the door open just enough for him to get into the house. This was mainly to prevent friction with the bolt when opening the door, which would make a warning "squeak".

After slipping into the room, Xu Damao first searched the main room carefully, but found nothing. He continued to move forward quietly and silently walked into the inner room where Niu Ge and his accomplices were sleeping.

The room was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Brother Niu and the other man didn't even take off their clothes and shoes. They just lay lazily on the bed, sleeping soundly, with thick quilts covering them.

There was a cabinet standing quietly beside the door. Xu Damao came to the cabinet and glanced under the bed out of habit, but found nothing unusual. Then, he reached out and groped to open the cabinet, while his eyes were fixed on the two people sleeping on the bed.

As long as these two people made the slightest movement, Xu Damao would immediately hide in his own personal space without hesitation.

When the closet door was opened, Xu Damao quickly turned his head and took a look, and his mood instantly fell to the bottom. There was nothing worth noting except some worn-out clothes inside.

Xu Damao looked at the two people sleeping on the bed with disappointment, then carefully closed the cabinet door. He took a step forward, and walked out of the room slowly and cautiously.

After carefully closing the door to the main room, Xu Damao tiptoed into the yard. He took a deep breath, then rushed forward, grabbed the top of the wall with both hands, flipped hard, and jumped out of the wall lightly.

"Everything in this yard is in sight. I have searched every room carefully, but I didn't find the pile of treasures that those two guys talked about. Are they talking nonsense? Or are these treasures not in this house at all?" Xu Damao stood outside the courtyard wall, frowning, and fell into deep thought.

"Why don't we just arrest those two and torture them to force them to tell us the whereabouts of the treasure? As long as we put a knife to their necks, I'm sure we can get some clues."

Xu Damao could not help but feel an impulse in his heart, but he quickly calmed down and gave up the idea. After all, the two men said they would load the things onto the truck and transport them away tonight. He only needed to come here again tonight and quietly follow the donkey cart. Maybe he could find the mastermind behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao decided to hold back for the time being and wait until night falls before making plans.

Without hesitation, Xu Damao turned around and walked back the way he had come. His steps were brisk, without any sense of dragging his feet. After walking for a while, he looked around and made sure that no one was around, then quickly took out his bicycle from his carry-on bag. Then, he got on the saddle, pedaled hard, and sped towards his home.

When Xu Damao returned home, it was still dark and almost five in the morning. He locked his bicycle skillfully, took off his clothes, fell on the bed, and soon fell asleep, snoring.

At about seven in the morning, Xu Damao woke up from his sleep. As he had gotten up too late, he quickly washed his face with cold water and immediately rode his bike to the steel mill.

"Hey, Damao, you're a little late today!" The comrade from the security department said jokingly when he saw Xu Damao rushing over.

"Haha, yes! Let's stop chatting, I have to report in quickly." Xu Damao didn't stop, just waved and said hello, then continued to speed up and drive forward.

"Okay, go ahead!" The comrades from the security department did not find it strange to see this. After all, every day there are a few people who come late because they overslept. They have long been accustomed to this situation and just need to turn a blind eye.

"Why is Damao late today?"

"Oh, Brother Zhao, I won't hide it from you. I just overslept!" Xu Damao said as he handed the other person a cigarette.

"Brother Zhao, have you eaten? I got up late today and bought some meat buns on the way. They are still hot. You can try them." After Xu Damao saw Brother Zhao take the cigarette he handed over, he picked up a paper bag and handed it to him.

"Hey, no, no, I've already eaten." When Brother Zhao heard the word "meat buns", his eyes lit up, but he quickly declined with his mouth and hands.

"Brother Zhao, don't be polite. Take it. I have something else to trouble you with." Xu Damao forced the warm paper bag into Brother Zhao's hand. Seeing this, Brother Zhao could only accept it helplessly...

"There is no screening task tomorrow, so I would like to ask for leave from you, Brother Zhao." Xu Damao scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said.

"No problem, I can just write a note for you when the time comes. By the way, Damao, what are you going to do tomorrow? I need to find a reason." Brother Zhao looked at Xu Damao and smiled.

"Well... I'm going to go shopping with the girl I met on a blind date tomorrow. Hehe, thanks Brother Zhao for making it happen!" Xu Damao said with a chuckle, scratching his head.
