Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 92: Taking the Charge

Tu Zhiqiang is not a traitor. He was charged with the crime because he took the blame for Luo Shibin. He was engaged to Zheng Juan mainly to cover up his secret relationship with Shui Ziliu. In order to repay Tu Zhiqiang for saving her life, Zheng Juan was forced to agree to the marriage. But unfortunately, she attracted Luo Shibin's attention. Luo Shibin knew the relationship between Tu Zhiqiang and Shui Ziliu, and believed that Tu Zhiqiang would not retaliate even if he was bad for Zheng Juan. In addition, since Zheng Juan had an adoptive mother and a younger brother at home, she might choose to endure it silently. Therefore, Luo Shibin took advantage of the night and set an ambush on Zheng Juan's way home.

If Li Weidong had not appeared in time, Zheng Juan's life might have changed completely. Some of these events have already happened, while others were learned by Li Weidong through film and television dramas. In this era, many kind people suffer injustice while being too kind, while bad guys like Luo Shibin and Shui Ziliu become more arrogant. They become big bosses after being released from prison. How unfair it is to society.

Fortunately, the appearance of Li Weidong changed Zheng Juan's fate. However, Luo Shibin was not alone, and his organization might take the opportunity to retaliate. Li Weidong realized this and reminded Zheng Juan to be careful. Zheng Juan was not a dull person, she naturally understood this. But as a woman, there were elderly people and children at home. In the absence of a unit to rely on, she didn't know who to turn to for help.

When Niu Meng heard this, his heart was filled with sadness, so he tugged on Li Weidong's clothes and said, "Master, why don't you ask Comrade Cai for help? You said he is the second generation, he can definitely solve it." Li Weidong frowned, he didn't want to intervene, but he realized that if he gave up Zheng Juan now, she might get into trouble again. It happened that Cai Xiaoguang owed him a favor, and he didn't stay in Jichun for long, so he decided to take advantage of this opportunity.

"Okay, I'll go talk to him tomorrow." Li Weidong said. He knew that with Cai Xiaoguang's ability, it would not be difficult to arrange a job for Zheng Juan. Zheng Juan did not hear the conversation between Li Weidong and Niu Meng, and continued to tell her story. She regarded Li Weidong and Niu Meng as relatives, and she didn't have many friends, so when they met this time, she couldn't help but want to talk.

When the three were talking and laughing, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Brother Shui, it's them!" Li Weidong and the other two turned around and saw five or six young men on bicycles who appeared behind them. They all carried green military bags. In the dim light, their figures were blurry and they were obviously not good people. Their military bags were bulging, obviously filled with weapons.

Li Weidong calmly reached for his waist and motioned Niu Meng and Zheng Juan to hide behind him. He asked, "Brothers, what can I do for you?" The leading man was beardless, burly, and looked at Li Weidong with a cold gaze. When they approached, Zheng Juan seemed to recognize them. She ran out and opened her arms to stop them: "Brother Qiangzi, what are you doing?" Qiangzi, who was named, frowned and said, "Juanzi, come here and go to the police station with me to change your statement. Brother Bin didn't mean it. He just drank too much. This is a misunderstanding."

Zheng Juan looked at Tu Zhiqiang in disbelief. She had always thought that Tu Zhiqiang was a good person, but he just made bad friends. But when Tu Zhiqiang said something like "He just drank too much", she began to doubt her point of view. The ropes and cloth strips prepared by Luo Shibin in advance were obviously premeditated, so how could it be said that he was drunk? She shook her head, bit her lip and said, "Brother Qiangzi, I'm sorry, I won't change my confession. If I hadn't met a kind person, I would have been ruined by him!" Seeing that Zheng Juan was disobedient, Tu Zhiqiang's expression suddenly became grim, and then the leading man spoke first.

"Zheng Juan, listen carefully. We are not here to discuss this with you. You have to go whether you want to or not!" He added, then glanced at Li Weidong and Niu Meng, "And you two outsiders, you dared to touch my brother. You are simply tired of living. You must leave something behind today!"

When Niu Meng heard this, his eyes widened with anger, and he was ready to step forward to argue. Li Weidong saw that his apprentice was so impulsive, so he stopped him, then stepped forward and said bluntly: "Why are you pretending to be so high-handed? Who do you think you are? Get out of here, or none of you can leave!" His tone was very firm.

Shui Ziliu felt that his dignity was challenged, and he decided that if he didn't beat Li Weidong, he would not be worthy of being in the underworld today. He ordered: "Teach him a lesson!" The gangsters who came with him immediately took out weapons from their bags and rushed straight to Li Weidong. Some held broken bricks, some held steel pipes, and some held bicycle chains, which are all weapons commonly used by street gangsters. Li Weidong clearly saw the black marks on the steel pipe, which might be left by the previous fight.

This group of people obviously went beyond the scope of ordinary hooligans. Zheng Juan and Niu Meng were both experiencing this kind of scene for the first time. Zheng Juan instinctively approached Li Weidong with a look of fear on her face; Niu Meng was just the opposite, she looked eager to try, because she was a martial artist, and teaching those naughty people a lesson in Beijing was nothing to her, so she was not afraid.

If Li Weidong hadn't held her back, she would have rushed forward. Facing the aggressive Shui Ziliu, Li Weidong sneered contemptuously. Then, with a "click", a black Type 54 rifle was aimed at Shui Ziliu's forehead. Time seemed to have frozen, and Shui Ziliu stood stiffly in place, his mouth slightly open, his hands raised in the air, not daring to move. The scene seemed a little funny.

This move stunned Tu Zhiqiang and others instantly. Fighting was common for them, and they had experienced using knives and sticks, but they had never encountered someone like Li Weidong who was armed with a gun. Li Weidong challenged, "Come on, don't you want to deal with me? You can't just talk without practice!" Shuizi was sweating profusely, realizing that he had hit a wall this time. They had only heard that Li Weidong was an outside driver, but they didn't expect him to carry a weapon. If they backed down today and the news spread, they would not be able to survive, because they valued their reputation in the underworld.

And they had to respond to Luo Shibin's question, otherwise the team's morale would be weakened. So Shui Ziliu gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, he won't really do anything. We have made a promise. If we don't teach him a lesson, how can we survive in the underworld in the future?" These gangsters are young, they value face very much, and are easily impulsive. After listening to Shui Ziliu's words, they no longer hesitated. Although they have seen people ** with live ammunition, not many dare to take drastic actions, because that means facing serious legal consequences.

Led by Shui Ziliu and Tu Zhiqiang, the gangsters attacked Li Weidong and the other two. But Li Weidong watched calmly and pulled the trigger without hesitation. When the gunshot rang out, Shui Ziliu, who was in the front, fell to the ground and screamed. The other gangsters who followed the charge stopped and stared at Li Weidong. "How dare you hurt him!" Tu Zhiqiang saw Shui Ziliu fall to the ground, his eyes almost popped out, and he rushed towards Li Weidong angrily.

Li Weidong was naturally happy to help the other party and pulled the trigger again without hesitation. For a moment, [too much sensitive content could not be output any further].

Under simple interrogation, these people confessed their actions. The saying "leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist" is not empty talk.

However, Li Weidong's case still puzzled the police station staff, and the director could only report to his superiors according to regulations. It was not until dawn that the Municipal Bureau gave a reply, and Li Weidong was able to leave the police station.

Niu Meng and Zheng Juan were supposed to leave after giving their statements, but to prevent any accidents, the police kept them in the lounge. When they saw Li Weidong coming out, they immediately went to meet him.

"Master Li, are you okay, brother?" Niu Meng and Zheng Juan asked with concern.

Li Weidong shook his head and yawned. "It's okay. I was just defending myself. There were no serious consequences. Don't worry. But I didn't sleep last night. I'm really exhausted."

When Zheng Juan heard this, she immediately suggested: "Then let's go back and rest first. My home is nearby. If you don't mind, you can rest at my home for a while."

Facing Zheng Juan's expectant eyes, Li Weidong could not refuse and nodded in agreement. Zheng Juan finally smiled when she saw Li Weidong agreed. She was so grateful to Li Weidong that she could not express it in words. If he did not have a family, she would even be willing to marry him.

Since there was no way to repay directly and there was nothing valuable at home, Zheng Juan could only hope that Li Weidong and Niu Meng would take good care of them during their stay in Jichun. So the three of them came to Zheng's house together.

Although Shui Ziliu and his accomplices were wandering outside during the day, they did not dare to act at this time. As soon as Li Weidong stepped into the Zheng family's yard, he saw a little boy sitting on a pile of coal, holding a piece of glass in his hand and staring at the sun.

Needless to say, this is Zheng Guangming, Zheng Juan's younger brother, who was abandoned by his biological parents since childhood because of eye disease. At this moment, he may be experiencing light in this way. Although his name is Guangming, he has lost his eyesight.

It's a pity for this smart child. But during this period, Zheng Guangming's eyesight may still have a chance to recover. Li Weidong hesitated whether to tell Zheng Juan, but he realized that the Zheng family might not be able to afford such expenses.

The only thing that was worth a bit of money in the Zheng family was probably the dilapidated adobe house, but there were houses like this everywhere in this land, and almost no one cared about them. Hearing the footsteps, Zheng Guangming put down the glass in his hand and asked in confusion: "Sister, are you back?"

Zheng Juan walked over and gently touched Zheng Guangming's head: "It's me, where's mom?"

Zheng Guangming replied: "My mother went out. She said Grandpa Li had some scraps to sell and she wanted to pick some up."
