The night was like a black curtain, slowly covering the entire courtyard. Li Donglai sat quietly at his desk. The desk lamp on the desk emitted a soft light, illuminating the minicomputer drawings spread out in front of him. He concentrated on
Holding a pencil, from time to time
He was sketching on the drawings and making final modifications and improvements. Now the design of this small computer has reached the final stage. He has considered every detail repeatedly and strived to achieve perfection. How can he have free time to pay attention to the messy trivial matters in the courtyard?
ah.
Just then, a knock on the door broke the silence in the house.
"Dong dong dong."
Li Donglai frowned slightly, put down the pencil in his hand, and said, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Silly Zhu's figure appeared at the door. He walked into the room with his usual silly smile on his face, and first greeted Li Donglai warmly: "Donglai, are you busy?"
Li Donglai nodded: "Well, this drawing needs to be revised again, and it is almost finished. Brother Shazhu, what do you want to do when you come here at this time?"
Silly Zhu came closer, his expression became a little serious, he pulled up a chair and sat down, and said slowly: "Donglai, let me tell you something. I just saw a few people outside the gate of the compound.
He is a very strange person. There is a woman who does not look like an ordinary person, and there is
Following two guys who looked like gangsters. I felt something was wrong, so I went up and asked as the second uncle of the courtyard. The woman was quite talkative. She said she was just passing by and left in a hurry. But I always felt that something was wrong here.
There's something fishy, so I thought I'd come over and talk to you about it."
After Li Donglai heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and felt a doubt in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Brother Silly Zhu, you are very vigilant. You are right. This thing is indeed a bit strange. Can you describe it?"
What do the woman and the two gangsters look like? Maybe there is something hidden here."
Silly Zhu scratched his head, tried hard to recall what the woman looked like, and then described it in detail.
While Li Donglai listened carefully, he secretly sketched the appearance of those people in his mind, keeping these characteristics firmly in his mind.
After Si Zhu finished speaking, Li Donglai nodded and said: "Okay, Brother Si Zhu, thanks to you for noticing this, I know this matter well. You have been busy for a long time, so go back and rest early."
"Okay, then I'll go back first. Don't stay up too late. You have to pay attention to your health while doing these drawings." After Si Zhu said that, he got up and left Li Donglai's house. The house returned to its previous state.
It was quiet, and only Li Donglai was left sitting at the table, thoughtfully pondering the situation described by Silly Zhu.
He always felt that something was wrong in the courtyard recently. Take Liu Haizhong as an example. Li Donglai was sure that Liu Haizhong must have entered the house to steal the drawings of the minicomputer.
But Liu Haizhong, a junior high school graduate, cannot understand drawings at all. What does he need drawings for?
At this moment, Ding Qiunan's soft voice came from the back room: "Dong Lai, I've made the bed. Come in and sleep quickly. Don't stay up too late. There are still things to be busy with tomorrow."
Li Donglai responded, temporarily put away his thoughts, stood up and walked towards the back room. He knew that these mysteries might not be solved for a while, but he had to stay vigilant at all times and not let anything go wrong with the minicomputer drawings he had worked so hard to design.
After all, this is related to many plans and developments in the future.
…
The early morning sunshine shines on the courtyard of the courtyard, giving off a lazy energy. Liu Haizhong got up early today, and his mood is so comfortable, as if he has seen a lot of money waving to him.
.
He hummed a tuneless tune, took out a bottle of wine from the room, put it on the small table, grabbed a handful of peanuts, and sat down happily, ready to enjoy the leisurely time.
The second aunt saw it from the side, couldn't help but frowned, walked up and said: "Zhonghai, you drank so early in the morning and drank so vigorously, you are not frugal. We are here.
Even though we live a decent life, we still have to save some money, and we can’t be so lavish."
Liu Haizhong listened to the second aunt's words, but he grinned nonchalantly, threw a peanut into his mouth, and said while chewing: "Mom, don't worry about it. I tell you, I will be able to get it in a short time."
It’s five hundred yuan from Jia Zhang’s family, and we will be rich by then. Do we still care about this small amount of money for drinks? Well, just wait and see.”
The second aunt looked at him suspiciously: "Zhong Hai, you are not just joking, are you? Can Mrs. Jia Zhang obediently give you money? I don't believe it."
Liu Haizhong shook his head proudly: "Mom, just be at ease. How dare she not give it to Jia Zhang who wrote the IOU? If not, I won't let her go. I have to give it to her."
Then the Jia family is in an uproar. So, I will definitely get this money, just wait for me to live a good life for you."
As he spoke, he poured himself another glass of wine and drank it happily, as if he had put the five hundred yuan safely into his pocket.
At this time, the second aunt looked at the clock on the wall and reminded anxiously: "Zhonghai, you are just drinking too much without looking at the time. You will be late for work!"
When Liu Haizhong heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes widened, he quickly got up, and ran out of the house in a panic. As he ran, he muttered: "Oh, why did you forget this?
But you can't be late, your wages will be deducted if you are late."
He ran towards the steel rolling mill in a hurry, running out of breath. As soon as he reached the small forest outside the steel rolling mill, two angry gangsters suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
.
One of the gangsters looked sideways at Liu Haizhong and asked nonchalantly: "Hey, old man, are you Liu Haizhong?"
Liu Haizhong was startled by this sudden stop. He stopped suddenly and almost lost his balance. He frowned and looked at the two uninvited guests with a puzzled look on his face, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.
, but still responded: "Yes, I am Liu Haizhong, who are you? Why are you stopping me?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the two gangsters heard Liu Haizhong admitted his identity, a proud smile appeared on their faces. The bald gangster among them said: "Huh, since you are Liu Haizhong
, then come with us, our boss wants to meet you."
Liu Haizhong became anxious when he heard this. He was in a hurry to go to work. If he was late, this month's bonus would be gone. He quickly waved his hand and refused: "No, no, I'm in a hurry to go to work. How can I have time?"
Go see your boss, get out of the way and don’t delay my business."
But those two gangsters were not willing to listen to him. When Liu Haizhong refused to cooperate, the gangster suddenly pulled out a bright dagger from his waist, waved it in front of Liu Haizhong's eyes, and said viciously: "Old guy,
Don't give me a toast or drink as a penalty. If our boss wants to see you, you have to follow us obediently, otherwise, hum, this dagger doesn't have eyes!"
The bald gangster also echoed: "Just be smart and follow us, and you won't have to suffer any physical pain."
Liu Haizhong looked at the gleaming dagger and suddenly became frightened. He knew in his heart that these two gangsters were masters who could do anything. If he refused forcefully, he might be beaten several times. He was helpless.
Then, he had no choice but to nod and agree: "Okay... okay, I'll go with you, but don't mess around."
So, the two gangsters held Liu Haizhong between them and took him into the woods. As Liu Haizhong walked, he kept muttering in his heart, secretly wondering what was going on and how he was doing.
He was being targeted by these two gangsters, and who was their boss? What could happen to him? The more he thought about it, the less confident he became, and his steps became heavier.
After Liu Haizhong was taken to the woods by two gangsters, he raised his eyes and saw Zhang Lihua standing there. He looked at Zhang Lihua and muttered in his heart that this woman was not easy to mess with, but he didn't know her at all.
ah.
So, Liu Haizhong frowned and bravely asked: "Hey, who are you? What do you want from me? I have to rush to work, but I don't have time to waste time here with you."
Zhang Lihua crossed her arms, stared at Liu Haizhong with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Humph, Liu Haizhong, don't pretend to be confused with me. Let me ask you, where is the information about the minicomputer? Hand it over quickly!"
When Liu Haizhong heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and his face was full of confusion. He quickly waved his hand and explained: "What information about minicomputers? I don't know what you are talking about! I have never seen that thing at all, let alone
Don't tell me what information was stolen. Did you find the wrong person?"
Zhang Lihua frowned, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. She examined Liu Haizhong and felt that he did not look like he was lying. But she was not willing to let go of possible clues, so she continued to ask: "Liu Haizhong, you
Don't try to fool me. Someone saw you stealing that information, why don't you admit it now?"
Liu Haizhong was very anxious now. He stamped his feet and said loudly: "My conscience, I really didn't steal that information! I wanted to go that day... I wanted to see if I could find anything useful, but
Who would have thought that as soon as I entered the house, my foot was caught by a mouse trap, which made me scream in pain. How could I have the energy to steal any information? I don’t even know what that information looks like!"
Zhang Lihua became even more confused after hearing Liu Haizhong's explanation. She wondered in her heart, could it be that Jia Zhang was really lying to her? But Liu Haizhong might also be quibbling. She was silent for a while, and then faced
Liu Haizhong said coldly: "Huh, no matter what you say is true or false, you'd better think it over carefully. If the information is really with you, hand it over as soon as possible, otherwise, you will get some good results.
!”
Liu Haizhong was furious at the moment. He was dragged into the woods by these two gangsters for no reason, and was questioned by this strange woman about the minicomputer information. He didn't know anything about it at all.
It's a delay in getting to work. If you're really late, the loss will be huge.
He frowned and said angrily to Zhang Lihua: "I've made it clear to you, I haven't seen the information you mentioned at all. I have to go to work. If I delay any longer, my job will be gone. Hurry up.
Get out of my way!"
With that said, Liu Haizhong was about to leave. But how could Zhang Lihua let him go so easily? She winked at the two gangsters, who immediately understood and took a step forward, one to the left and the other to the right.
Blocking Liu Haizhong's path.
Liu Haizhong was really angry now. His eyes widened, his face flushed, and he shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Are you trying to force me to stay in broad daylight? Let me tell you, I, too, am Liu Haizhong."
You are not someone to be trifled with, get out of my way quickly, or I will never be done with you!"
As he said this, Liu Haizhong waved his fists, as if he wanted to fight with these two gangsters. The two gangsters were slightly stunned when they saw Liu Haizhong's appearance.
Zhang Lihua crossed her arms and her eyes became colder. She stared at the angry bangs and said coldly: "Liu Haizhong, I will give you one last chance. You'd better think about it. If you give the information of the minicomputer now,
Hand it over, and I can forget about the past, otherwise, huh, you will just wait to regret it!"
Liu Haizhong was so angry that he pointed at Zhang Lihua's nose and angrily shouted: "You woman is simply unreasonable! I have told you so many times that I have never seen that information at all, and you are still here
You are messing around here and delaying my work. I think there is something wrong with your brain!"
When Zhang Lihua heard this, she was furious. The muscles on her face twitched slightly, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes. She yelled at the two gangsters: "What are you two still standing around for? Give me a hand and do it properly."
Teach this reckless guy a lesson and let him know the consequences of daring to talk back to me!"
As soon as the two gangsters heard what the boss had said, they immediately pounced towards the bangs like wolves attacking prey. One of the gangsters with yellow hair, with a ferocious face, swung the casserole-sized stick with all his strength.
The fist hit Liu Haizhong's face with a whistling sound. The punch was fast and hard. If he was hit, the bridge of his nose would probably be broken.
Liu Haizhong has been working as a forger in the steel rolling mill all year round, so he has some skills. Seeing the fist coming, he tilted his head sharply and narrowly escaped the blow. At the same time, another bald man
The gangster saw the right moment and kicked Liu Haizhong hard in the stomach. The kick was so powerful that it made a "swish" sound in the air.
But Liu Haizhong reacted very quickly, and the strength he had gained from years of forging iron came in handy. The moment the bald gangster was about to kick his stomach, he tightened his abdomen and twisted his waist, and at the same time stretched out his big hand like a cattail leaf fan and grabbed it.
He grabbed the bald gangster's ankle and twisted it hard. The bald gangster felt a strong force coming from his ankle, as if his ankle was clamped by iron pliers. The pain was unbearable, and he lost his balance. He made a "plop" sound.
Fell to the ground.
Seeing that his companion was at a disadvantage, the gangster roared and pounced on him again. This time he changed his strategy. He first feinted and then took advantage of Liu Haizhong to dodge and hit Liu Haizhong's lower body with his knee. Liu Haizhong saw through his trick.
, dodged sideways, and hit the yellow-haired gangster hard on the back with his elbow. This hit made the gangster stagger forward and almost fell to the ground.
A gleam flashed in Zhang Lihua's eyes, these bangs look really awesome!
