Siheyuan, my new life

Yi Zhonghai was a veteran in frequent fights when he was young and could be considered experienced. At this moment, he was unarmed and naked. After all, he was over 40 years old and had long lost the bloodiness of his youth. Facing four or five burly men with sticks, he lost the courage to resist. He could only hold his head with his hands, curl up into a ball, and use his back and buttocks to withstand the beatings of the sticks.

However, Yi Zhonghai's mind was racing at this moment. Judging from the way these people were dressed, as well as the ruthlessness of their attacks, they were obviously experienced professionals. If Yi Zhonghai still didn't understand at this point, then he would be too stupid. He smiled bitterly in his heart. He had planned to set up a trap for He Daqing, but now he was trapped in the trap.

The only thing Yi Zhonghai could think of now was to get out as quickly as possible. If he delayed any longer, he didn't know what the result would be. Just now, a burly guy came straight at his lower body with a stick. If he hadn't turned his body sideways in a split second, the stick would definitely hit his lower body. It was obvious that the other party intended to completely cripple him.

So Yi Zhonghai suddenly shouted loudly: "Liu Dali, it's almost time to stop. You are after money, do you want to kill people?"

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's shout, Liu Dali signaled the brothers to stop. He was not surprised that Yi Zhonghai could guess his identity, so he pulled down the black cloth on his face and sneered, "Yi Zhonghai, keep shouting if you have the guts. It would be better to attract the patrol security guards. Anyway, we brothers are catching a nasty hooligan who raped women. I guess the police station will write a letter of praise to our unit in the end. But your fate, Yi Zhonghai, is not going to be good. Even if you can't eat peanuts, you will be sent to a labor camp for the rest of your life."

Yi Zhonghai said with a timid look on his face, gritting his teeth: "If we really go to the police station, the police will be tough. Do you, Liu Dali, really think you have done a perfect job? By then, we may not know who will be sent to labor reform."

Liu Dali motioned for the white widow to put on her clothes, then laughed and cursed: "Yi Zhonghai, no wonder others say you are eloquent. If you were still a moral model recognized by the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office, and a highly respected manager of the Siheyuan at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, perhaps the police station would really believe your words. Unfortunately, you are now a notorious hypocrite, a scum who had an affair with his apprentice's mother, a completely hypocritical villain who was exposed, and a backward element who was ideologically educated by the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office. Do you think anyone will believe what you say now?"

Yi Zhonghai was scolded by Liu Dali until his face turned red. In his heart, he kept cursing He Daqing who ruined his reputation, Bai Guafu who framed him, and Liu Dali. However, he was now at the mercy of others and had to bow his head in the cruel reality. In his heart, he had to agree with what Liu Dali said. With his current reputation, if he really went to the police station, as long as Bai Guafu insisted that she had raped him, he would definitely be imprisoned. Yi Zhonghai was certainly unwilling to surrender. He could not care about the embarrassment now. He sat naked on the bed and sneered, "Liu Dali, I, Yi Zhonghai, was blind. I didn't expect that you would ignore the friendship between us as workers in the same workshop and team up with your cousin to plot against me. Well, now that things have come to this, tell me your conditions."

How could Liu Dali watch Yi Zhonghai being so arrogant? He stepped forward and slapped him hard, cursing in a low voice: "It's come to this, and you, Yi Zhonghai, are still talking nonsense here. If you didn't plan to frame my cousin and He Daqing, would you have gone to this extent? It is said that those who commit evil will suffer. Yi Zhonghai, why don't you use your head to think about it? If you really succeed, do you think He Daqing will let you and my cousin go easily? Do you know that as long as Director Lin, who is close to He Daqing, says a word, both of you will die without a burial place. Whether you, Yi Zhonghai, live or die has nothing to do with me, but my cousin still has three underage children to support."

Yi Zhonghai covered his swollen face and defended himself: "He Daqing only cooked a few meals for Director Lin. Would such a high-ranking leader care about He Daqing's affairs?"

Liu Dali looked at him with disdain and said, "You are a self-righteous guy, but you are not going to give up until you reach the Yellow River! If Director Lin did not approve of He Daqing, do you think Deputy Director Li Huaide would directly give He Daqing's son a regular employee quota? Do you think you are smarter than Deputy Director Li? Stupid pig!"

Yi Zhonghai suddenly thought of the news he heard in the third canteen this afternoon, so he quickly said: "Director Lin vomited blood and fell unconscious this morning. He was sent to the hospital and his life or death is still unknown. How can he care about He Daqing now?"

Liu Dali sneered and shook his head: "Yi Zhonghai, I originally thought you were a smart man, but today I found out that you are just a self-righteous fool. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the rumors spreading in the factory today are someone deliberately disgusting Director Lin, and it is a small move by a certain leader of the steel rolling mill. It is probably because Director Lin directly arrested so many cadres and employees in the factory before. If Director Lin is really in danger of his life, do you think ordinary workers like us can get accurate information? Let me tell you, Director Lin did vomit blood and coma and was sent to the hospital this morning, but the accurate news from the Security Department this afternoon said that Director Lin has been out of danger after treatment and is recuperating in the hospital according to the requirements of the experts. It is estimated that he will return to work in a few days. You, Yi Zhonghai, are just an ordinary workshop worker. You are used to showing off your power in the courtyard where you live, and you are even a little forgetful. In fact, you are just a frog in the well."

Liu Dali took out a box of Daqianmen cigarettes and distributed them to several brothers. Then he looked at Yi Zhonghai who looked confused and said with a sneer: "Okay, I won't talk to you about those nonsense. Yi Zhonghai, are you going to settle the matter with the government or privately? Just tell me the truth."

Yi Zhonghai raised his head, stared at Liu Dali with red eyes, and asked through gritted teeth: "Mr. Liu, tell me, what if the official is involved? What if we settle it privately?"

Liu Dali blew out a smoke ring and sneered, saying, "It's easy to get the job. We brothers will tie you up naked and send you directly to the police station. We will say that we were going to my sister's house for a cup of tea after drinking. When we passed the back of the house, we heard my sister shouting for help, so we jumped over the wall and found you raping my sister. We were indignant and beat you up, then tied you up and sent you to the police station. As for private settlement, it's also easy. You pay my sister two thousand yuan in cash as compensation, and write two confessions to ensure that you won't have any evil thoughts in the future. My sister and I will keep one copy of each of these two confessions. As long as we don't interfere with each other in the future, it will be a piece of waste paper. But if you dare to have other ideas in the future, this confession will be handed over to the Public Security Bureau."
