Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

"Don't worry, brother."

He Yushui, also a woman who "hangs over the beam",

With more wisdom and intelligence.

She looked at Lou Xiao'e, but didn't know how to address her, so she could only call out softly, "Sister **, wait for me for a moment."

When He Yushui left,

Li Aiguo turned around and closed the door.

Then he pulled Lou Xiao'e into the kitchen.

I found a few pieces of firewood, stacked them up, and put them into the stove pit. The flames jumped up, the smoke in the stove was steaming, and the flames slowly rose.

Taking advantage of the slight heat, Lou Xiao'e's dark face gradually turned into a blush; her tense body also relaxed and regained some vitality.

"Sit down and dry your wet body first, otherwise you will get sick easily."

Li Aiguo took her wrist and sat down by the stove together.

Lou Xiao'e felt the warmth coming from the rough palm.

Suddenly she whimpered, tears falling like a dam breaking, and her head rested on his broad chest.

"Brother Aiguo, I'm going to Hong Kong City soon."

"Are we going to Hong Kong now? Where are the whole family?"

Li Aiguo sat on this small stool, his arms tightly around her, his brows slightly furrowed.

According to the development of the drama, the Lou family will stay in Beijing for a few more years.

In any case, the matter of Xu Damao has been settled. Even though Lou Zhenhua has set up countless back-up plans, he doesn't seem to be worried about the situation at the moment.

What is the reason for such a rush?

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e was like a wounded wild cat.

She nuzzled into his arms and whispered, "I listened to my father's instructions. That guy, Xu Jixiang, wanted to kill my father..."

After learning what happened, Li Aiguo suddenly felt admiration in his heart. Xu Jixiang, a seemingly gentle man, hid an elusive vicious mind under his approachable image among the neighbors. His decisiveness in taking action was really shocking.

Eliminate doubts,

Li Aiguo pinched her arm and asked, "You said that we would split into two teams this time, leaving the country in the east and west directions respectively, right?"

"Well, my father said that after we flee Beijing, we will meet abroad, which will be safer." Lou Xiao'e nodded and continued to explain:

Huh? Silly girl, that really does sound a bit silly.

A person like Lai Yizhen would never do anything unnecessary.

A pair of separated convoys is obviously much more dangerous than a single one.

There is only one arrangement, and this situation may be deliberately designed.

Li Aiguo watched the flame in the stove go out, turned around and hugged Lou Xiaoe, freeing his hands to relight it. While picking up the fire tongs, he asked, "Is there a problem?" His voice revealed a certain thoughtfulness.

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e, who was about to refute immediately, was stunned. But seeing Li Aiguo's serious expression, she began to reflect on the rationality of this possibility, "How is it possible? After all, I am Lou Zhenhua's child."

In response to this question, Li Aiguo raised his eyebrows and asked, "When your Lou family evacuated from Kyoto this time, how did the two groups of people evacuate in batches?" This showed his sensitivity to details, hoping to find some abnormal information from it.

"Father, mother and the butler, Uncle Zhou, took a truck to evacuate, while my brother and mother Wang took another truck respectively," Lou Xiao'e answered truthfully. Before she finished speaking, Lou Xiao'e was also full of confusion. According to the distribution principle of the family under normal circumstances, even if the Lou family has concerns about avoiding risks, they will not completely ignore the importance of strength. The butler with strength should be allowed to act with them, not the old servant mother Wang who has never left Kyoto in her life. After understanding the logic behind all this, Lou Xiao'e felt like her heart was being torn by a knife. The kind of heart-piercing pain made people almost unbearable, and tears dripped down her eyes uncontrollably. "My life in this capital is not easy. My old friends outside have become estranged after knowing my life experience. My eldest brother wanted to take me away quietly before, but I chose to stay and take care of my parents and gave up the opportunity; I never expected that my father, who really needed my help, would use me as a pawn at a critical moment... Brother Aiguo, what do you think I should do?"

Li Aiguo squatted down, soothed her with gentle words, and gently kissed Lou Xiao'e's forehead, and replied with a smile: "Silly girl, don't be afraid. You still have me. Let's talk about other things now." Lou Xiao'e wiped the tears from her cheeks, took a deep breath, and finally stopped sobbing. She raised her head and looked at Li Aiguo, "Ask me."

Following her innocent eyes that revealed helplessness and expectation, Li Aiguo kissed her forehead again to comfort her and then asked: "How is the relationship between you and your brothers?"

Leaning in Li Aiguo's arms, Lou Xiao'e looked up and gazed into his eyes. "That's very good, especially since my eldest brother is the head of ** City now. Although he is my biological son, he treats me like a real sister." There was warmth and gratitude in her voice.

After hearing this answer, Li Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you were left alone to go to **, would your brothers take care of you?" His question implied deeper worries and concerns.

When Lou Xiaoe heard the key word "lonely body", her heart sank slightly. Obviously, the other party's words had clearly conveyed their unintentional interference, which also aroused her inner counter-response: "Can I also bring my mother? Although she is an ordinary woman, she will always be my only mother." This sentence contains both a sense of helplessness and the weight of deep family affection.

Li Aiguo frowned slightly: "The current situation is not the time to be cynical. A wrong decision will lead to a complete loss."

What Lou Xiao'e could not tolerate most was Li Aiguo's frowning face.

She reached out her hand and gently pressed it on his forehead, whispering, "Don't worry, after this incident, I am no longer that ignorant and naive little girl. I will continue to go to the port city and wait for the day when I can wear the title of wife for you."

As if she had thought of something, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes looked a little dim: "Maybe it's the title of a concubine."

How could anyone dislike a girl who understands human nature so well?

Li Aiguo's body swayed slightly for a few times. Lou Xiao'e brought him an incomparable sense of comfort. He said with a smile: "It's up to you to decide on this matter. However, we have to wait until we reach the port city."

Just as he was about to continue speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"The rain has returned. Wait here. I'll go open the door."

Li Aiguo gave her a brief explanation, asked Lou Xiaoe to stand up, and quickly walked to the door and unbolted it.

He Yushui held up a work uniform and a pair of black pants and handed them over. "Brother Aiguo, these are new clothes that my mother prepared for me. She originally wanted to wear them after I started working, but now I want to lend them to Sister Xiao'e to use first."

"Yuzi, thank you."

After taking the clothes, Li Aiguo prepared to close the door.

At this time, He Yushui stretched out his hand to support the door frame and whispered, "Brother Aiguo, Sister Xiao'e may be in trouble. If you are able to help, please lend a hand."

Li Aiguo raised his eyebrows slightly.

He Yushui said embarrassedly: "I also know how it feels to encounter difficulties. At that time, Shazhu took the blame for everyone else's mistakes. Thanks to you for helping him out. Otherwise, I would have been expelled from the school now."

This girl is quite pure-hearted.

"Okay, I understand. You can go back now."

The wooden door closed with a click, blocking out the roaring thunder, the sound of dripping rain, and the disturbing thoughts from the outside world.

Li Aiguo stepped into the kitchen area and found that Lou Xiaoe was not there.

"Brother Aiguo, I'm over there."

At this time, a voice responded from the room.

After pushing open the door, Li Aiguo saw Lou Xiao'e lying on the bed.

Her body was covered with a blue sheet, her thin white calves were tense, her entire face was hidden within the sheet, and her body was shaking as if she was fighting against the cold wind in the severe winter.

All around, wet clothes were hanging on the hangers, and raindrops made a snapping sound.

The noise startled Li Aiguo.

He walked forward slowly and sat down beside the bed.

Lou Xiao'e raised her head firmly and pursed her slightly red lips tightly, "Brother Aiguo, I will soon leave for a distant place. Perhaps we will not be able to meet again in a few years. Let me leave you with good memories at this time of parting, okay?"

A sudden shock!

A loud thunder illuminated the sky, and the fluorescent lamp hanging from the roof flickered for a moment, then slowly lost its light.

Sure enough, the substation facilities next to the courtyard were burned again.

The heavy rain, which is unique to summer, comes without a trace and goes away like a shooting star.

If the chapter is still incomplete, please move to the next page to take a look at the more exciting follow-up plot.

After quite a while, the sound of rain finally subsided.

Li Aiguo was lying in the bedroom, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and asked, "How much money and supplies did you prepare for your trip to **?"

"There are twenty-three wooden boxes piled on the truck, all of which must be loaded with valuables."

The eyes of the characters in the novel changed from ** to clear. At this time, Lou Xiao'e wanted to say something but couldn't, so she could only stop and remain silent for a moment.

Given Lou Zhenhua's character, the treasures stored in the box were definitely not luxurious ornaments such as gold, pearls, jade and emeralds.

After thinking for a long time, she answered, "There are about fifty-four giant mandarin fish hiding next to me."

"perhaps?"

"Yes. This part came from the gifts my two brothers gave me over the past two or three years, and the rest came from what my mother left behind. I often live in the capital, so I have never calculated these hidden golds."

Li Aiguo was silent for a long time.

Obviously, these numbers are staggering and jaw-dropping sums of money.

Because there is a certain relationship between the father and daughter, it is really enviable that they can accumulate such a rich treasure without being known to the public.
