Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

You know, for Zhang Lijuan, this person in front of her was too unfamiliar, and she had no impression of him at all. Why did he appear in her father's ward? What was his purpose?

However, before Zhang Lijuan could continue thinking, she saw her father Zhang Yungui, who was lying on the hospital bed, turned his head and looked at Xu Damao. After a moment of daze, he exclaimed: "Hey! Little brother, you are here, please sit down!"

"Lijuan, Daddy has to talk to you. This guy is our great benefactor! If it weren't for this little brother who came to our rescue, I'm afraid we would have died long ago!"

As he spoke, Zhang Yungui's heart was beating so violently with excitement that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his throat, and even his hands began to tremble involuntarily.

He suddenly stood up from the hospital bed, his face flushed, and introduced Xu Damao to his daughter with extremely excited emotions.

Then there was a muffled sound of "plop!"

It turned out that when Zhang Lijuan realized that the person in front of her was the savior of herself and her father, she did not hesitate at all. She immediately bent her knees, knelt straight on the ground, and kowtowed three times to Xu Damao.

Due to excessive force, the skin on her forehead turned red instantly, but she seemed unaware of it and continued to express the most sincere gratitude from the bottom of her heart with a pious face.

"Oh my, if you encounter injustice on the road, you should stand up and help. This is a righteous act. It should be done this way. It should be done this way! Sister, please stand up quickly and don't do this. It's absolutely not allowed!"

Xu Damao muttered earnestly, stepped forward, stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhang Lijuan's arm tightly, and pulled her up from the ground.

Then, he turned around and cast his eyes towards Zhang Yungui who was lying on the bed, and asked with concern: "Uncle Zhang, has your health improved? I just asked the nurses and they said that you have recovered very well. I estimate that you will be able to be discharged from the hospital in two days."

After saying that, Xu Damao placed the various snacks and exquisite pastries he had bought on the wooden table on the side, and with a smile on his face, he turned to Zhang Yungui and continued speaking.

Zhang Yungui responded with gratitude: "Thank you for your concern. To be honest, I felt that I was fine and could go home to recuperate, but the doctor refused to let me go and insisted on keeping me here for a few more days. Fortunately, my injuries have healed well."

"All this is thanks to the magical medicine given by my little brother!" As he spoke, Zhang Yungui's face showed deep gratitude.

At this moment, Xu Damao suddenly sat down on the empty bed next to him, then waved his hand casually, showing an attitude of being wealthy and not stingy with money.

Then he said generously: "Uncle Zhang, if you are short of money, you can tell me.

I did some business recently and made a little money, so I don't need to worry about the expenses!"

"Thank you so much, little brother! Actually, I didn't spend much money in the hospital this time. After all, I'm the victim. After the hospital knew about the situation, they even waived the medical fees, so I didn't spend much of the money I brought with me."

"And to be honest, I am just an ordinary farmer now. I really can't afford such warm-hearted help from you! I would be very satisfied if you could come and visit me in person!"

As Xu Damao spoke, he secretly glanced at Zhang Lijuan who was sitting next to him, then chuckled dryly and uttered a few meaningless words of greeting.

At this time, Zhang Yungui turned to Zhang Lijuan and said, "Lijuan, why don't you go outside and get a pot of hot water, and then see if there is any fruit store near the door. If there is, buy some and bring it back."

Hearing this, Zhang Lijuan hesitated for a moment and responded, "Well... okay, but it's probably hard to find fresh fruit in this season."

Zhang Yungui quickly waved his hands and comforted her, "It's okay, just go out and have a look around. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to come across frozen pears or frozen persimmons for sale."

After listening to this, Zhang Lijuan nodded to show that she understood. Then she stood up and prepared to go out, saying, "Okay, I'll go out and take a look." After that, she gently closed the door and left the room.

"Uncle Zhang, there is something I want to ask you." Xu Damao approached Zhang Yungui cautiously and lowered his voice deliberately, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.

Seeing this, Zhang Yungui's face darkened and he responded in a low voice: "My daughter is out. Just say whatever you want to say." There was a hint of alertness and vigilance in his words.

Xu Damao nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then continued to ask softly, "That day you asked me to find Yi Zhonghai to help look after your daughter. So this Yi Zhonghai should be one of you, right?"

While speaking, his eyes were always fixed on Zhang Yungui, as if he wanted to see some clues from the other's face.

Because Xu Damao's voice was so soft, Zhang Yungui had to prick up his ears to barely hear every word he said.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yungui replied: "Yes, that's right, he is indeed on our side."

"But don't underestimate him. He is a hidden agent who is responsible for collecting intelligence! In terms of rank, he is much higher than me!"

"On a daily basis, agents like them generally don't encounter the kind of difficult and dangerous missions that require them to personally eliminate traitors or kill Japanese devils."

"People like me are members of the action team. To put it bluntly, we are members of the death squad. We do jobs that put our lives on the line!"

At this point, Zhang Yungui couldn't help but sigh, with a hint of helplessness and emotion in his eyes.

After all, every time we assassinated traitors and devils, almost all members of the action team had to be sacrificed. Alas...

After hearing this, Xu Damao was stunned at first, then he patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhang, you and other comrades are well-deserved heroes! I will never leak a word to the outside world, please believe me!"

His words were sincere and his attitude was firm, which made people feel a sense of trust in him.

"In theory, the action team and the undercover agents usually maintain a high degree of confidentiality and avoid unnecessary contact and meetings. Uncle Zhang, how did you and Yi Zhonghai get to know each other?"
