Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

In a safe house of the Lou family near Ciqikou, Xu Wude and his wife and Xu Damao sat at the lower table, and Lou Bancheng sat at the upper table.

"Boss, the tail has been basically cleared. When are we going to set off?"

Xu Wude saw that Lou Bancheng was not in a hurry at all and was still drinking tea slowly, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, Lao Xu. I'm thinking that I might never come back after I leave, so I'm a little reluctant.

Xiao'e, don't just stand there like an idiot. Pour a cup of tea for your parents-in-law. You probably won't be able to drink the good tea here when you go to the other side of the sea."

Lou Xiao'e, who was standing behind Lou Bancheng, came over and took the teapot to pour a cup of tea for Xu Wude's family of three, but none of them drank it.

Especially Xu Wude, who is an old hand. Before coming here to meet up, he told his wife and Xu Damao not to eat or drink anything and wait until they arrive in Tianjin.

When Xu Damao heard that his father was an enemy spy, he almost had a mental breakdown. But when he heard the big promise Xu Wude painted for him, about how he would be a rich man with money and status once he got across the sea, he got on the chariot without hesitation.

When Lou Bancheng saw that Xu Wude's family didn't drink tea, he knew that they were on guard, so he stood up and walked to Xu Wude and said.

"Lao Xu, we are all in the same boat, how could I attack you?"

After saying that, he drank the tea that Lou Xiao'e had just poured for Xu Wude, and patted Xu Wude on the shoulder after drinking it. Old Xu was sitting to begin with, so he was naturally much shorter than Lou Bancheng. Seeing his boss do this, he couldn't help but wonder if he was overthinking.

After Lou Bancheng finished his tea, he threw the cup to the ground and said to the few people.

"Let's go, there's nothing worth lingering about."

After saying that, he walked out of the house and got into the car.

There were two cars. Lou Bancheng and Lou Xiao'e were in the front car, and Lao Xu's family of three were in the back, with Lao Xu driving.

Finally, a truck with a waterproof cloth compartment followed. Although Lou Bancheng spent several months converting many of his assets into foreign currency and gold bars and brought them to Hong Kong, he still had many national treasures that he was reluctant to sell, so he had to take them to Tianjin by himself.

As the convoy passed through Jianguomen along East Chang'an Avenue, it heard gunshots from the direction of the steel rolling mill.

Lou Bancheng looked back through the car window in the direction of the steel mill, but unfortunately he could not see anything. He could only hope that the deaf old lady's action would go smoothly, because this was related to his future plans.

When their car arrived near Guanzhuang, they stopped.

Xu Wude saw Lou Bancheng's car stopped, so he got out of the car behind him, walked up to him and asked.

"Boss, why did we stop here?"

Lou Bancheng took out a cigar, slowly lit it and replied.

"Wait for someone. If nothing goes wrong, they should be here in 20 minutes."

Although Xu Wude was reluctant because he felt that stopping here could lead to danger, he was powerless and had no choice but to let Lou Bancheng leave.

More than 10 minutes later, another truck drove over from behind and stopped next to Lou Bancheng. The deaf old lady jumped off the truck.

"Did the operation go well?"

Lou Bancheng asked, holding a half-smoked cigar.

"Everything went well, we can leave now, but still proceed as planned?"

The deaf old lady was in a good mood after getting the data and answered with a smile.

Lou Bancheng nodded and smiled back.

"Then the rest is up to you."

Before Xu Wude could figure out what the two men were talking about, he saw a guy with a fat face jumping out from the truck compartment coming from behind. It was none other than Lao Ba.

This guy was holding a silenced pistol and fired a magazine at the car that Xu Damao and his mother were riding in. This was not a bulletproof car, and the bullet went through the window, killing both of them on the spot.

Xu Wude was stunned by the scene before him, but the deaf old lady did not give him a chance to react. She jumped and then punched him right in the heart. Fearing that he would not die, she then punched him with her shoulder and clapped her hands, hitting Xu Wude in the temple again.

Xu Wood was hit continuously in the vital parts and fell to the ground like a noodle.

"Ms. Long, after so many years, your kung fu has become more and more profound."

Lou Bancheng was still smoking the cigar, but this time he took a deep puff. It seemed that he was also frightened by the deaf old lady's move.

"Lou Bancheng, I have done what you asked me to do, what about what you promised me?"

"Don't worry, when have I ever broken my word?

He Daqing should have arrived."

Lou Xiao'e walked up to Xu Damao and gave him a last look of disgust.

"Xu Damao, I hope you don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame your father for knowing too much."

Back to the time when He Daqing had distributed secret ingredient packages to each canteen, he returned to the third canteen and found that Sha Zhu was missing.

There is no need to guess, you know that the other party must have gone to the factory clinic.

After jogging all the way to the clinic, I entered the room and saw Sha Zhu chatting with Ding Qiunan.

"Silly Zhuzi, stop chatting for now. The canteen is about to open for dinner. Why don't you go back and get food for the workers?"

Sha Zhu is still as heartless as ever.

"Dad, why are you here? Fatty and Ma Hua are already in the cafeteria, so they don't need me.

If it doesn't work, let Liu Lan take over first, I'll be back soon."

If it were any other day, He Daqing might have gone back, but not today. Such a big matter will definitely be thoroughly investigated, and it would be bad for Sha Zhu to stay here.

He walked up to Sha Zhu, grabbed his arm, and dragged him towards the door while speaking.

"We're having a dinner today, Director Li and the others will definitely be here, so hurry back with me, I'm afraid we'll need more food and I won't be able to handle it all by myself."

Sha Zhu was at his wit's end. His father had said so much, so he could only walk out of the house while talking to Ding Qiunan.

"Qiu Nan, come find me when you get your lunch. I'll give you a full bowl."

He Daqing pulled Sha Zhu out of the clinic and did not return to the cafeteria, but walked towards the factory's parking shed.

"Dad, aren't we going back to the cafeteria? You're going in the wrong direction, aren't you?"

"I was just thinking about calling you, and forgot I had to go to Quanjude. Li Huaide said he wanted to eat roast duck today, so he asked me to buy it.

Come with me and I'll buy you one too."

Sha Zhu didn't want to go at first, but when he thought about buying a roast duck as a dish for Ding Qiunan, he went along.

The father and son rode their bicycles out of the factory gate, and when they arrived at Anhuali, they saw a car parked on the side of the road.

He Daqing parked his bicycle next to the car and said to Sha Zhu.

"Zhu Zi, this car doesn't seem to be locked."

When Shazhu saw his father calling him, he stopped his bicycle and glanced out the car window.

"Who is driving this car with the windows not closed properly?"

As he said this, he looked inside the car. When Sha Zhu was looking at the car, He Daqing walked up behind him and stabbed him with a knife.

Looking at Sha Zhu who was knocked unconscious, He Daqing said as he stuffed him into the car.

"Zhu Zi, please don't blame me. I originally thought that you and Qiu Nan's marriage would leave a descendant for the He family, but plans change so quickly that I can only take it one step at a time."
