Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Why did Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu not dare to fight back when they were beaten? Or even dare to run? Why could they only hold their heads and endure Liu Haizhong's beating? The reason is very simple. It's not that they didn't want to resist, but that they didn't dare to resist.

Because they couldn't make money before and no one cared about them. If they ran away or dared to resist, Liu Haizhong would definitely kick them out of the house.

They didn't have the ability to make money before, but they couldn't be kicked out of their homes and become beggars on the streets, right?

Moreover, the two of them were unwilling to commit petty thefts or become robbers. If they were caught, they would go to jail or even have to eat peanuts. They did not dare to do that.

Now Lin has given them assurances that he will take care of them in the future, ensure that they have good food and drink, and also promised to find them jobs in the future so that they can support themselves. However, based on their performance in the original plot, they immediately left their courtyard home as soon as they found a job, never came back to see Liu Haizhong and his wife, and were determined not to provide Liu Haizhong and his wife with care and support until the end of their lives. This shows how much they hate Liu Haizhong and his wife.

Now, as long as he provides the two guys with the most basic survival guarantees, so that they don't have to worry about starving to death on the streets without Liu Haizhong and his wife, these two guys will definitely turn against Liu Haizhong.

After hearing the big promises that Lin Geng had painted for them and the rebellious ideas that he had instilled in them, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu's eyes lit up and they nodded repeatedly in agreement. There was even a hint of ruthlessness in their eyes, but it was definitely not directed at Lin Geng. Instead, they were thinking of their father, Comrade Liu Haizhong.

Then Lin Geng wrote a letter of apology to the two of them in person, and asked them to eat while he was reading it. After he finished writing it, he asked them to read it. Then he asked them to go back to the cell and wait for news. He would go find the director and ask him to release them.

When the police officer in charge of them saw that Lin Geng had reached an agreement with the two boys and had written letters of apology to them, he took them back to the cell and sternly ordered the other prisoners in the cell not to bully the two boys anymore, and told them to treat them well and never bully them again.

The prisoners in the cell, who are not smart? After hearing this, they immediately understood what the police officer in charge meant. They knew that these two guys had someone backing them up and passed on a message to the police. If they continued to bully them, they would probably be in trouble. So they agreed one after another, and no one dared to bully them anymore.

Chief Zhao was also happy to see Lin Geng issue a letter of apology to the Liu Guangtian brothers. The fewer people sentenced in this case, the better, which would only benefit them. So he immediately agreed to resolve the matter at the police station and hold a meeting in the afternoon to discuss how to release the two boys as soon as possible.

Moreover, Director Zhao discovered that Lin Geng was a very opinionated guy. Since he agreed to forgive these two guys, he must have his own plans and would never let them go for nothing.

But he didn't care why Lin Geng forgave these two guys. As long as it was beneficial to Lin Geng, he was willing to help Lin Geng. Who made them feel guilty about this matter? Lin Geng didn't bear a grudge against them and even gave them fish to eat. If they didn't know what was good for them, they would be really not human!

There is another more important reason, that is, he had discovered before that some military personnel were investigating Lin Geng and asked him about Lin Geng's situation. Yesterday, he also received a notice that Lin Geng met a general while fishing, and accidentally discovered that two spies tried to assassinate the general, but Lin Geng successfully prevented the spies' assassination attempt. The special security department above found their police station to investigate Lin Geng's background.

He already knew yesterday that no one would be able to mess with Lin Geng from now on. He saved a general's life by his own strength, so this general would definitely become his solid backing in the future.

So he knew that even as the director, he could not afford to provoke Lin Geng.

Therefore, no matter what decision Lin Geng made on these two guys, he should firmly cooperate with them, and it is better not to ask any other questions.

In addition, he also felt sad for those beasts who bullied Lin Geng in the past. They would probably not have an easy life in the future. Even though they were extorted a lot of money by Lin Geng this time, this matter was not so easy to let go. Not to mention whether these beasts would cause trouble for Lin Geng, Lin Geng probably would not let them go easily.

So after Lin Geng handed the letter of apology to Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to the police station chief, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were released from the police station that night and returned to the courtyard.

The release of the two brothers caused another uproar in the courtyard. Everyone was surprised at how they were released, because it seemed that Lin Geng did not issue any letters of apology to them at the beginning. He only issued two letters of apology to Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi, and extorted 1,500 yuan from the Liu family before releasing Liu Haizhong and his son.

However, Liu Haizhong and his wife gave up on the two unfortunate children, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu. They just abandoned them and left them to wait for the verdict in the police station, leaving them to fend for themselves.

No one expected that the Liu Guangtian brothers would suddenly return to the courtyard, looking extremely miserable and embarrassed, with dishevelled hair, bruised faces, and pale complexions, as if they were refugees who had just returned from famine.

The two brothers walked into the courtyard in silence. The gatekeeper Yan Bugui almost failed to recognize them. He stopped them and was about to drive them out of the courtyard as if they were beggars. Then Liu Guangtian whispered, "Uncle, we are Guangtian Guangfu!"

Yan Bugui recognized the two brothers by their voices and was so surprised that he couldn't help asking, "Why did you two escape? Did you come back secretly?"

Liu Guangtian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Uncle, what are you thinking? Is the police station a place where anyone can come in and go out as they please? We have been released! I won't talk to you anymore. We need to go home and wash and change our clothes first!"

Yan Bugui thought about it and realized that the police station was not a place where anyone could escape. Moreover, even if the two brothers had escaped, they would not dare to return to the courtyard so blatantly. So he heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed the two brothers to the middle courtyard to tell Lin Geng about the incident.

When the two brothers returned home, Liu Haizhong and his wife and Liu Guangqi had already turned off the lights and gone to bed. When they heard the knock on the door, Liu Haizhong was very impatient and yelled, "Who is it? It's so late and you're still knocking on the door! Can't you talk about it tomorrow?"

After asking, he kicked his wife next to him and asked her to go out and see who was knocking on the door.

When Liu Haizhong's wife turned on the light, put on her clothes, and got up, she went to open the door and suddenly saw two dishevelled people standing at the door. She was startled and asked in surprise, "Who are you? What do you do?"

Liu Haizhong's wife immediately became alert, took two steps back, and was ready to shout.

"Mom, we're back!" Liu Guangtian said coldly to his mother.

Liu Haizhong's wife then realized from the voices that it was the second and third sons of their family who had returned. This frightened her again. Instead of being happy, she became even more alert. She quickly blocked the door, stared with wide eyes and asked in a low voice: "Why did you come back? Did you sneak out? If you did, you'd better go back quickly and stop causing trouble for the family!"

After Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu heard what their mother said, the slight expectation they had in their hearts suddenly disappeared.

Liu Guangtian said coldly in a tired voice: "Mom, are you really our biological mother? Are you sure you didn't pick us up from somewhere? We were finally released, and you say this to us when you come back?"
