Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

"Qiu Ye, I'm sorry, I don't want to disturb you so late." Xu Mingjie said apologetically.

"It's okay, I was just wondering if you would come. Come in, we still have a lot to discuss." Ran Qiuye sighed softly and turned to walk towards the door.

Xu Mingjie followed her into the house. The familiar furnishings made him feel at ease. The two sat on the sofa in the living room. Ran Qiuye poured him a cup of tea, and she sat opposite him, her eyes full of fatigue.

"Mingjie, I've been thinking recently that we have come to this point and can't retreat anymore." Ran Qiuye's tone was firm, but there was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Yes, Qiuye, we must go on. However, I am worried about our safety. Those anonymous letters and threatening calls show that we have attracted some people's attention." Xu Mingjie took a sip of tea and said with a frown.

"I know. This is also the reason why I haven't been sleeping well recently." Ran Qiuye lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly.

"We need to be more cautious. Also, we need more help." Xu Mingjie thought, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Are you talking about Professor Zhang?" Ran Qiuye raised his head and asked.

"Yes, he knows the history of his hometown very well. Maybe he can provide us with more clues." Xu Mingjie nodded.

The next morning, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye decided to visit Professor Zhang. Professor Zhang lived in an old house on the other side of the town. There were all kinds of flowers and plants outside the house, which looked full of vitality.

They knocked on the door, and soon, an elderly figure appeared at the door. Professor Zhang was still energetic, and when he saw Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye, he smiled with satisfaction.

"Mingjie, Qiuye, you are here." Professor Zhang warmly invited them into the house.

"Professor, we have some questions we would like to ask you." Xu Mingjie said politely.

After dinner, Xu Mingjie took a walk in the yard. He looked at the smiling faces of every neighbor in the courtyard and felt an inexplicable satisfaction and peace. Every detail in life seemed so precious and warm, especially with the support of friends and family, he felt that he had become stronger and more mature.

In the few days after Xu Mingjie returned home, life seemed to be back on track. He left home early and returned late every day, busy repairing equipment on the factory production line and helping to solve various technical problems. Despite his busy work, he always thought of Ran Qiuye in his spare time and silently prayed in his heart that she could successfully overcome the difficulties at work.

One evening, Xu Mingjie just came out of the factory and was about to ride his bicycle home. Suddenly, he saw Jia Dongxu rushing out of an alley in a hurry, looking a little flustered. Jia Dongxu is a manager in the factory. He is usually low-key, but he has a strict style at work, which sometimes even makes people feel a little restrained.

Xu Mingjie's heart moved, and he felt that something was wrong. He suddenly remembered the injustices he had mentioned to Ran Qiuye in the factory a few days ago, and he couldn't help but think about it. He decided to catch up and see, so he quickened his pace, crossed the sidewalk, and ran towards Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu heard someone chasing him and quickly quickened his pace, but Xu Mingjie was very agile and soon caught up with him. He grabbed Jia Dongxu's arm and made him stop.

"Jia Dongxu, wait a minute!" Xu Mingjie said hurriedly.

Jia Dongxu stopped and turned around, with a look of panic and nervousness on his face. "Xu Mingjie, why... why did you follow me here?"

Xu Mingjie frowned and looked at him seriously. "I saw you rushing out of the alley just now. You looked nervous. I don't know what happened."

Jia Dongxu looked embarrassed, and was obviously caught off guard. He paused, and finally said, "This... these are some small matters within the company, so I can't say more."

Xu Mingjie's heart moved. He thought that maybe Jia Dongxu knew some inside information about Ran Qiuye's experience, so he continued to ask: "Jia Dongxu, do you know the problems that Ran Qiuye encountered in the factory recently?"

Jia Dongxu became even more nervous after hearing this. He obviously didn't expect Xu Mingjie to ask this question. "Well... I do know something, but it's not something I can control."

Hearing this, Xu Mingjie was more certain of his guess. He took a deep breath and said in a serious tone: "Jia Dongxu, if you know anything, you'd better tell me clearly. Ran Qiuye is a hardworking and honest employee, and the problems she encountered need to be solved."

Jia Dongxu looked at Xu Mingjie's determined eyes, and finally nodded helplessly. "Well, I know something about her. But these things are very sensitive, and I can't disclose them casually."

Xu Mingjie took a deep breath and realized that this was not going to be easy. He tried to speak in a gentler tone: "Jia Dongxu, we are not here to cause trouble. We just hope to understand the truth and solve the problem."

Jia Dongxu thought for a moment and finally decided to reveal some information. "In fact, the problems Ran Qiuye encountered were indeed related to some arrangements made by the management. The supervisor's attitude towards her was not friendly, and sometimes even extreme."

After hearing this, Xu Mingjie gradually understood the doubts in his heart. He continued to ask: "Why did these things happen? Aren't there any relevant regulations?"

Jia Dongxu smiled bitterly. "Xu Mingjie, you have to know that sometimes things within the company cannot be solved by legal provisions. Some people will use their power to take special measures against some employees."

Xu Mingjie felt even more uneasy after hearing this. He realized that this was not just a simple misunderstanding or management problem, but a complex entanglement of power and interests. He decided to continue asking, "Jia Dongxu, can you tell me who is behind this?"

Jia Dongxu was silent for a while, and finally said: "This matter involves the factory director and some other senior managers. They sometimes take a special attitude towards certain employees, which has no direct relationship with work performance."

When Xu Mingjie heard this, he was in a state of confusion. He did not expect the problem to be so complicated. He realized that he and Ran Qiuye needed more evidence and support to effectively solve this problem.

"Thank you for telling me this, Jia Dongxu," Xu Mingjie said. "We will consider how to proceed."

Jia Dongxu nodded, seeming relieved. He knew Xu Mingjie was not looking for trouble, but was hoping to help solve the problem. He said, "I understand your difficulties. If you need my help or testimony, you can always come to me."

Xu Mingjie looked at Jia Dongxu deeply, his heart full of gratitude. "Thank you for your support, Jia Dongxu. We will handle this matter carefully."

After the two said goodbye, Xu Mingjie was full of thoughts. He returned home, sat at the table, picked up his notebook, and began to organize his thoughts. He realized that to solve this problem, he needed
