Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

After dealing with the police who were searching No. 8 Jia Hutong, Ma Yu found nothing unusual. As it was getting dark, Lao Yang still didn't come back, so he sent two hired workers out to inquire about the news nearby.

Ma Yu was not worried about Lao Yang's safety. There was martial law in the area and many military and police were looking for criminals, which might delay Lao Yang's trip. Moreover, Lao Yang's identity was indeed not easy to be exposed to the public, but Ma Yu had no way to contact Lao Yang. He had to call Ma Siye to ask about the specific situation.

Ma Siye in the northern district of Xicheng also learned through underworld channels that enemy spies had carried out a shooting and assassination near Guaijia Hutong, killing several people. When the police arrived, the other party had already fled, and there is no news on the specific situation.

In the evening, when Li Yuping came back, Lao Yang did not show up, so Ma Yu had to serve Li Yuping dinner and continued to wait for Lao Yang's return at the door. Li Yuping went back to the backyard and picked up the book about prenatal education that Lao Yang brought and started reading it, with light music playing on the tape recorder beside her.

As the sky darkened, the eldest and third brothers became nervous, fearing that something unexpected would happen. After all, they dared not turn on the lights and could only grope in the dark. Even if they were surrounded by people, they would not be discovered. Fortunately, the place where they stopped was quite remote, and no residents passed by and discovered them, otherwise the militia would have surrounded them long ago.

Just as the boss stood up and prepared to inspect the surroundings, a clear knocking sound came from afar. Listening carefully, it was indeed the agreed-upon signal. The boss quickly took out two steel pipes from the car and knocked at a certain frequency. After the signal matched, he vaguely felt that two people were approaching the vehicle.

The two men were dressed in coarse linen clothes, with their heads covered so their faces could not be seen clearly. They looked no different from the people nearby, except that they were burly, and looked well-fed and well-clothed. The other man had a rifle on his back and a pistol on his waist, and looked like a patrolling militia.

Several people did not dare to neglect it. They quietly touched the pistols on their waists and felt relieved. When the other party came closer, the boss first said in code: "The mountains are high and the waters are far away, and the clouds are pressing down!"

One of the men said, "Everyone has their own preferences!"

The boss immediately felt relieved, took a step forward and said to the other party: "We have brought the person, but he is dead. The body is in the box in the car. Did you bring the money? Otherwise, we will take the person away again!"

The person who was speaking continued, "I will definitely give you what I promised you, but we have to test it first! As far as we know, Mr. Yang is not someone who can be dealt with easily. Countless ninjas we sent out have failed and died. We don't believe that you guys can succeed. We must see the body before we can continue the transaction!"

The third brother immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense. We brothers sacrificed several lives to get this. Just because you say it's not true, it's not true. Don't even think about asking us to hand over the body until we see the money. Who knows if you guys will rob us!"

The eldest brother immediately stopped the third brother and said, "Shut up! Third brother, step back!"

After shouting at the third brother to leave, the eldest brother immediately said to the other party: "We did kill the person. I believe you have also planted people in the city. The body is in the car, there is no doubt about it! We are not afraid of your inspection, but you have to show your sincerity and let us see where the reward is! After all, our brothers have made sacrifices, and we have to take the lead, otherwise it will chill the hearts of our brothers!"

The other party gave in and continued, "Okay, since Boss Liu said so, we can't not give him face. After all, we will need him a lot in the future. Only when both parties are satisfied can the cooperation continue!"

The masked man clapped his hands and whistled, and soon two masked men emerged from the ground behind him. They also carried a long gun and a box, and came behind the two masked men. After putting the box on the ground, they turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Hearing the sound of the box falling to the ground, I knew that there were a lot of things inside, and it was not light. A masked man walked up and opened the box, took out a flashlight and shone it. There was a bright yellow light inside, a box full of gold. Although I don’t know if it’s fake, the amount is indeed not small. After letting everyone see clearly, the masked man turned off the flashlight, closed the box, and said to Liu Lao Da:

"You have seen the money. There are four boxes in total. This is one of them. Once you confirm the body, all of it will be yours! Now let us inspect the goods."

Liu Lao Da and Lao San woke up from the golden light and waved to the two people behind them, but their eyes were still scanning back and forth at the boxes on the ground, and the greed in their eyes was not concealed at all!

After seeing what Boss Liu did, the two younger brothers hiding behind the car immediately began to untie the cables on the truck, pushed the boxes on the truck under the car, lifted out the box containing Lao Yang, and then got out of the car and walked towards Boss Liu.

Since the box was taken off the car, the two masked men had not taken their eyes off the box, their expressions full of excitement and anticipation. It was not until the box was moved not far from them and placed on the ground that they turned their eyes to Boss Liu.

Liu Lao Da suddenly felt a chill, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake. He immediately withdrew his gaze from the box on the ground and looked at the two masked men opposite him. Reluctantly, he took two steps forward, took out the crowbar, pried open the nailed box, and took a step back, waiting for the other party to come forward to examine the body in the box.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense. The third brother and the two younger brothers behind him unconsciously reached for their waists and gripped the gun handles, fearing that the other party would rob them and shoot them illegally once they verified their identities. However, in order to get rich, it was necessary to take some risks.

Two masked men came forward together, walked to the box, turned on the flashlight and shone it inside, and saw Old Yang lying at the bottom of the box. One of the masked men immediately took out a photo from his pocket and compared it. After confirming that it was him, he immediately nodded to the other man excitedly, and then said excitedly:

"Mr. Liu, you are so awesome! This is our goal! We will fulfill our promise to you now, and we hope to continue our cooperation in the future!"

Boss Liu was very happy to see the two people excited, and said: "Happy cooperation! I hope there will be good business in the future, and I will take care of Liu! Let's complete the transaction first!"

The two were very happy, and waved to the distance. Soon six people came out from the dark, carrying three boxes and quickly came to the first box, lined up, and then stepped forward to lift the box containing Lao Yang and walked into the darkness. The two masked men also retreated to the back of the four boxes and stood still, waiting for Boss Liu to confirm the bounty.

Liu Lao Da and Lao San stepped forward and opened the boxes one by one to verify. After confirming that the boxes were all filled with gold, they immediately nodded with satisfaction and said:

"It's better to deal with you Black Dragon Society. If there is such a good thing in the future, please take care of Liu. I will definitely not let you down! Then goodbye!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the two younger brothers behind him stepped forward and lifted a box with great effort and walked towards the car. They stepped onto the box that had fallen to the ground and threw the gold into the truck bed.

After the two masked men disappeared into the darkness, Liu Lao Da and Lao San also helped to carry the boxes and quickly threw them into the car. They no longer cared about the boxes on the ground, and quickly started the car and drove away from Huangcun.
