Siheyuan, my new life

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but jump up from the bed after hearing this, and gritted his teeth and said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, I will never give you 2,000 yuan, let alone write a confession, you are just daydreaming."

Liu Dali did not continue to talk nonsense, but just waved his hand lightly. Several brothers immediately swung sticks and hit Yi Zhonghai on the head. After being hit several times, Yi Zhonghai finally reacted. He immediately squatted on the ground with his hands on his head, shouting: "Liu, if you have the guts, beat me to death. I will never agree to your request."

Liu Dali had long seen through Yi Zhonghai's nature of being a coward. After hitting him twice with a stick, he said loudly: "Brothers, since Master Yi would rather go to jail than pay the money, let's not waste time. Tie up this bastard with a rope and send him to the police station."

As soon as Liu Dali finished speaking, the White Widow came in with a bundle of ropes and said through gritted teeth: "Cousin, we don't want Yi Zhonghai to pay any more money. Let's send him to the police station. Anyway, I plan to return to Baoding to live, and I don't have to worry about being ridiculed by people here. I'm going to sue Yi Zhonghai for raping a woman."

Liu Dali took the rope and raised his chin to the brothers. They immediately stepped forward and held Yi Zhonghai down. One of the brothers tied up his feet and said with a smile, "Let's find a thicker and longer stick and carry this bastard to the police station."

The reason why Yi Zhonghai dared to respond so toughly just now was only for the purpose of bargaining. Although he felt bad about paying some money, what he dared not agree to the most was writing a confession. Once Liu Dali had his confession in his hands, he would not be able to retaliate in the future, and he would have to worry all the time about the other party using the confession to blackmail him.

But after being beaten up, Liu Dali actually had someone tie him up. Although Yi Zhonghai thought that the other party was just trying to scare him, he was really worried that if the other party lost his patience and really sent him to the police station, he would be finished.

In just a moment, the guy had already started to tie Yi Zhonghai's hands. He was in a mess and said quickly: "Master Liu, I can give you an extra 500 yuan, but you must not write a confession. Otherwise, if you use the confession to blackmail me in the future, I will never have peace."

Liu Dali sneered and said, "Mr. Yi, stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to go to the police station today, you must write a confession, and we won't ask you for a penny more. It's two thousand, and as long as you behave yourself and don't have any bad thoughts, my cousin and I will never look for you again. To be honest, after you pay the money, my cousin will go back to Baoding directly and will never come to Beijing again. The reason why I want a copy of your confession is that I don't trust you. As far as I know, He Daqing has always treated you as a friend, but in order to drive him out of the No. 95 courtyard, you actually persuaded my cousin to set up a trap for him. I'm so... I don't believe that after what happened tonight, you, Yi Zhonghai, will not retaliate against me, so I am prepared for any eventuality. Mr. Yi, are you going to go to the police station or settle the matter privately? To be frank, we brothers really don't plan to waste time with you any more. After sending you to the police station, my cousin and I will go to He Daqing and tell him everything you have done. I guess He Daqing will have to give my sister some money. As for whether he will ask Director Lin to vent his anger, that's hard to say. I believe that with the identity of the deputy secretary and deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the director of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, as long as he says that he will deal with it seriously, you will probably have to eat peanuts."

Yi Zhonghai lowered his head with a fierce light flashing in his eyes. In fact, he had just thought about it. As long as he could get away successfully tonight, he would definitely cut Liu Dali and Bai Guafu into pieces in the future to relieve his hatred. However, once the other party had his confession in their hands, it would be difficult to deal with. Especially when he heard that Bai Guafu would take the money back to Baoding, Yi Zhonghai felt even more troubled. Even if he dealt with Liu Dali himself, Bai Guafu, who was far away in Baoding, would definitely hand over the confession to the Public Security Bureau after learning the news, and he would still be waiting for imprisonment.

Yi Zhonghai was in great turmoil for a moment. If he did not agree to Liu Dali's conditions, it looked like they were really going to send him to the police station. Once He Daqing found out about what he had done, he would definitely add insult to injury. He only asked to go to Director Lin, and then he would most likely have to eat peanuts.

Liu Dali followed a gang of hooligans in Baoding since he was a child. Later, he and Jiao Erhu offended a big brother in the Baoding underworld and had to leave their hometown and run to Sijiucheng to make a living. At first, in order to fill their stomachs, the brothers could only carry heavy bags and do hard labor at the station, but after a hard day's work, the little money they earned was just enough to ensure that they would not starve to death. Later, they found a job as a janitor in the black market. Relying on their strong bodies and courage to fight, they were able to gain a foothold.

During the two years he spent in the black market, Liu Dali not only developed a good physique, but also learned the ability to read people's minds. If he had not discovered through his own observation that the old man who was targeted while buying things in the black market was not a simple person, how could he have been so bored as to meddle in other people's business and drive away the three street thugs who were blocking the road to rob and save the old man?

The old man was not beyond Liu Dali's guess. He was a master fitter at Lou's Steel Mill. Because his wife was sick, he went to the black market to buy some nutritional supplements, but was accidentally targeted. After that, the old man brought Liu Dali to Lou's Steel Mill and accepted him as his apprentice. Later, he even married his daughter to him, which was considered a son-in-law who came to take care of him in his old age.

Just now, Liu Dali had already sensed Yi Zhonghai's inner unwillingness and anger through some subtle expressions. He even felt that his request for the other party to write a confession was foresighted. Based on his understanding of Yi Zhonghai in the past few days and his observations just now, if he did not have any handle in his hand, Yi Zhonghai would definitely retaliate against him afterwards.

Liu Dali threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, raised his foot and twisted it a few times, and said coldly: "Yi Zhonghai, we brothers don't want to waste time with you anymore. In the last minute, you decide whether to settle it publicly or privately."

Hearing Liu Dali's cold voice, Yi Zhonghai fell into despair. It was obvious that the other party had lost his patience. What should he do? Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

One minute passed quickly. Liu Dali stared at Yi Zhonghai, whose hands and feet were tied, and said coldly, "The time is up. Mr. Yi, tell me what you are going to do?"

Yi Zhonghai was like a dead dog with a broken spine, weakly uttering two words: "Settle it privately."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Widow Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had just followed her cousin's instructions to send Yi Zhonghai to the police station, she had her own guilty conscience and absolutely did not want to go that step unless it was absolutely necessary.

Yi Zhonghai was soon untied and wrote two confessions and an IOU for two thousand yuan as Liu Dali requested, and promised to deliver the money before 7:30 tomorrow evening. Then Yi Zhonghai put on his clothes and staggered out of the courtyard of No. 72 Yanzhi Hutong.
