Chapter 157

He looked at Yan Jiefang with some doubt and asked,
"Jiefang, are you possessed by evil spirits? I am Lou Xiao'e. Did you send someone to arrest me?"

Yan Jiefang smiled sinisterly, "Lou Xiao'e, I arrested you today. Have you forgotten who you are? Your father is the head of the family. When we had no food to eat, your family was eating and drinking well. Now it's time to settle the score, right?"

"You fart."

Xu Damao yelled from behind, "Yan Jiefang, what nonsense are you talking about? When was that? Ge Zi's father was the first to respond to social changes. He even donated the steel mill. How did he become a capitalist?"

"Hey, Xu Damao, this kind of thing is not something you can decide with your words. It's useless to tell me this. Let Lou Xiao'e come with me. Let's go back and interrogate him. Then we'll know if he is the one or not."

Yan Jiefang said with a sneer.

As long as they are caught by their patrol team, there will be a problem even if there is no problem.

Torturing someone into confessing is no big deal.

Xu Damao had heard about these people's behavior a long time ago. How could he let him take Lou Xiao'e away?

"Yan Jiefang, I'm telling you, don't even think about it. Don't think I'll be afraid of you just because you bring a few patrolmen with you. Don't forget, our hospital also has a director of the management committee."

Of course, what Xu Damao was talking about was Hu Haodang and Liu Haizhong.
There are two directors of the management committee in the hospital, which is why he dared to stop Yan Jiefang and the patrol team.

At this time, other residents in the tavern dormitory building also discovered the situation in Xu Damao's home and came over to ask what happened.
Yan Jiecheng was among them.

When he saw his brother leading the patrol team to cause trouble for Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe, he couldn't help but nervously stepped forward and asked, "Jiefang, what are you doing? This is our own compound, how can you be so ungrateful?"

Yan Jiefang sneered.
"Yan Jiecheng, are you confused? What time is it now? There are many cases where even sons report their fathers, not to mention that I only live in the same courtyard with them."

"Besides, I treat you as my family, but what do you treat me as? He Daqing came to trouble me during the New Year, and did anyone of you speak up for me? Now that I'm powerful, have you started to remember that we're from the same courtyard?"

"Bah! I don't care about that."

Yan Jiefang's attitude was very arrogant. In his eyes, everyone in this courtyard owed him something.

Including his brother and parents.

This is a typical ungrateful person.

After yelling at Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang said to the four patrolmen who came with him, "What are you waiting for? Director Huang asked you to come back with me to arrest someone. You are just watching the fun here. Do you want me to do it myself?"

Four patrolmen, you look at me, I look at you,
Although they felt that Courtyard No. 40 was not so easy to deal with, since it was Director Huang's order, they did not dare to disobey it.

So, the four of them began to force their way through Xu Damao's interception, preparing to capture Lou Xiao'e.

But the No. 40 compound is not that easy to mess with.
Yan Jiecheng shouted, "We can't let him take Lou Xiao'e away. Stop them. I'm going to find Captain Hu."
The people in No. 40 Courtyard are generally quite united.

Because they have a director and deputy director of the management committee in their own courtyard, they are not as afraid of the street management committee as others.

At this moment, they all heard Yan Jiecheng's roar and gathered at the door of Xu Damao's house.

The four patrol members were stunned by this situation.

Their management committee patrol team is indeed powerful, but that is based on the fact that others are afraid of them. They have never seen anyone like No. 40 who dares to stop them and prevent them from enforcing the law.

Yan Jiefang shouted even louder.

"What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? I am here to arrest people on behalf of the management committee. Do you want to be arrested as well?"

The residents did not say anything, but quietly blocked the door, telling Yan Jiefang with practical actions that it was impossible to take the person away today.

Yan Jiefang was furious, but they were outnumbered and the residents refused to move aside, so he didn't have the ability to take Lou Xiaoe away.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng had already run back to the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Yan Bugui watering the flowers there.

"Jiecheng, why are you back? You look so anxious. What's the matter?" Yan Bugui asked his son.

Yan Jiecheng panted, "Dad, it's bad. I don't know when Jiefang joined the management committee. Now he is at Xu Damao's house with people, saying that he wants to take Lou Xiao'e away."

"What? There is such a thing. How can this kid dare to do anything?"

Yan Bugui frowned immediately.
Yan Jiecheng continued, "Dad, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go find Director Hu and Second Uncle and liberate the people he brought with him to the patrol team. Now they are the only ones who can stop them."

Yan Bugui also nodded and said,
"You're right. Go find Lao Hu and Lao Liu. I'll go with you. What kind of thing is this? He doesn't even let go of people from his own courtyard?"

Yan Jiecheng said nothing more and quickly ran to the middle courtyard.

When Hu Haodang heard that someone was arresting someone in his yard, he became furious. After cursing, he followed Yan Jiecheng to the dormitory building of the tavern.

At this time, Yan Jiefang was already tired of shouting.

When the residents saw Hu Haodang approaching, they all spontaneously moved aside.

Hu Haodang walked into the room, without saying a word, and went straight up to Yan Jiefang and slapped him in the face.
"Fuck you! You've come to my territory to arrest people, you little bastard. I'm telling you, I'm not going to bother with you today just for the sake of your father and your brother. Otherwise, based on what you did today, I would have broken both of your legs."

When Hu Haodang got angry, he looked very scary.
Then he shouted at the four patrolmen outside: "What are you still doing here? Go back. Tell the chairmen of your committees that Yard 40 is the dormitory building of our steel mill. The street management committee does not need to manage it. If anyone comes to cause trouble next time, I will bring people to tear down your management committee office building."

Hu Haodang was very domineering. The steel mill management committee was two levels higher than the street committee.

The street was only at the department level, but after the steel mill was upgraded, it is now at the bureau level, the same level as the district where Nanluoguxiang is located.
So no matter how arrogant Hu Haodang's attitude is, the street can't do anything to him.

After being slapped by Hu Hao, his face was swollen.

He covered his face and cried, "Lou Xiao'e, you guys are awesome, but even if Hu Haodang protects you, it's useless. You live in Yard 40 and no one dares to touch you, but where are your parents?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Our Director Huang has already brought people to arrest your parents. Hu Haodang can protect you, but can he protect your parents?"

From the time Yan Jiefang came to the present day, Lou Xiao'e has always been very calm.

But at this moment, Yan Jiefang mentioned his parents, and Lou Xiao'e became nervous.

"Yan Jiefang, what are you talking about? How did we offend you? Why did you do this?"

Yan Jiefang laughed out loud.
"Lou Xiao'e, are you childish? And you're asking me why? Of course it's for the credit. If you want to blame someone, blame your parents because they are the big family. They took so much of our hard-earned money. Who else should we arrest?"

"Yan Jiefang, you are a beast."

Lou Xiao'e cursed loudly, but the angrier Yan Jiefang became, the more excited he became.
Yan Jiefang ignored Lou Xiao'e.

Instead, he asked Hu Haodang, "Director Hu, you guys are awesome. I won't arrest Lou Xiaoe anymore. Can you let me go?"

Yan Bugui suddenly walked in from outside the door.
He questioned Yan Jiefang, "Jiefang, what happened to you? How did you become like this? Are you still a human being if you betrayed the people in your own courtyard just to gain merit?"

Yan Jiefang sneered: "Yes, I am not a human, I am a beast, okay."

"But Yan Bugui, let me remind you that I am your son. If I am a beast, then aren't you also an old beast? Hahahaha."

He smiled arrogantly and walked out of Xu Damao's house.

When the four patrol team members saw that he had left, they naturally left as well.

Yan Jiefang failed to catch Lou Xiao'e, which was considered a mission failure, but there was nothing to worry about. The big fish this time was Lou Bancheng. As long as Lou Bancheng was caught, it didn't matter whether Lou Xiao'e was caught or not.

"This kid really makes me angry. How can he do anything?"

Yan Bugui was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
At first, he thought that his second son was a failure, but he never expected that he could be so bad. Is it possible for ordinary people to join the management committee? What kind of people are they?
Besides the street urchins, there are only some bad-hearted people.

Not only did Yan Jiefang go there, he also brought people back to arrest Lou Xiao'e. This is simply beastly behavior.

Xu Damao also said anxiously, "Uncle San, let's not talk about this for now. Let's think of a way to save Mo Zi's parents."

Lou Xiao'e was so anxious that she almost cried.
She looked at Hu Haodang and asked, "Director Hu, you must help me. You are also the director of the management committee. Can you talk to them?"

Hu Haodang's face was livid at this moment. Although his rank was two levels higher than the director of the street management committee, the two belonged to different systems and their superiors were not the same person.

If the other party is willing to give you face, of course you can go find him.
But I'm afraid people won't give me this face.
After all, it is Loubancheng, which is definitely a big fish for the Management Committee. With such a great contribution, who would be willing to let it go easily?
"Lou Xiao'e, I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter. We are not in the same system as the street, and I don't know this person and have any relationship with him."

In fact, Hu Haodang could also ask Ye Xiaoning for help. His father should be able to help.

However, the big boss does not think highly of Hu Haodang, and Hu Haodang does not think he has the face in front of the big boss Ye. In comparison, perhaps if Li Jiandong goes to find him, the effect will be better.

Yan Bugui beside him also said,

"Why don't we go find Lao Li? He knows a lot of people, maybe he can help us think of a solution."

Xu Damao's eyes lit up.
"Yes, my master knows a lot of people, so he must be able to find a way. I will go find him right away."

Yan Bugui also said, "Da Mao, wait a moment, I will go back to ride my bicycle, and we will go to find your master together later."

After all, it was his son who caused the trouble this time.

Yan Bugui also felt a little sorry for Xu Damao, so he went with him to find Li Jiandong, wanting to explain to Li Jiandong and apologize at the same time.
The two rode their bicycles and soon arrived at Li Jiandong's door.
It was getting late at night, and Li Jiandong's house was closed. He was about to wash his feet and go to bed.
Hearing someone knocking on the door, Xu Zhengyang came out and asked,

"Who?"

Yan Bugui's voice came from outside, "Is this Xiao Xu? I'm Uncle San. Please open the door. I have something important to discuss with Lao Li."

Xu Zhengyang recognized Yan Bugui's voice, opened the door and said, "Master Yan, it's so late, the leaders have gone to bed, if you have anything to say, please tell me, I will go and report to the leaders for you."

As a guard, Xu Zhengyang had to keep watch for Li Jiandong at this time. If Yan Bugui really had something important, he would certainly not take the initiative to stop them.

But if it is just an ordinary matter and not urgent, he will still focus on maintaining the leader's rest.
Although Yan Bugui was anxious, he also understood that Xu Zhengyang was concerned about Li Jiandong's safety.

So, he suppressed his anxiety and said quickly,
"Hey, tell Lao Li that my Jiefang is confused again. He actually joined the street management committee and reported Lou Xiao'e's family. Just now, someone went to our yard to arrest someone. Hu Haodang was there so they didn't take the person away. But Lou Xiao'e's parents may have been taken back."

"Now we are all out of ideas, so we can only come to Lao Li for help. This is Xu Damao, Lao Li's apprentice. You know him. Xiao E is his wife. Go and tell Lao Li and ask him what to do."

Xu Damao also said beside him,
"Master Xu, please, I'm in a hurry here, please go and inform my master quickly."

Xu Zhengyang nodded.

"Okay, you guys wait here, I'll report right away."

Then he walked towards the backyard.
Li Jiandong had just finished washing his feet and was about to lie down to rest when he heard Xu Zhengyang's voice coming from outside.

"Leader, Teacher Yan and Xu Damao are here to see you. They are outside now and said they have something important to tell you. Do you want to meet them?"

When Li Jiandong heard that Lao Yan and Damao were looking for him, he knew something must have happened.

So he said, “I’ll be right there.”

Qin Huairu asked from the side, "What's wrong, Brother Jiandong? Why did Lao Yan and Damao come to see you so late?"

"I don't know either. Maybe something happened? Let me go out and take a look."

Li Jiandong put on his shoes and strode out to the front yard.
Yan Bugui and Xu Damao saw Li Jiandong and hurried to greet him.

"Master, we have an accident at home."

"Old Li, it's all my fault. My Jiefang went crazy and actually took people to arrest Lou Xiao'e's parents. They may have been captured now. You should quickly think of a way to get them out."

Xu Damao and Yan Bugui said something, and Li Jiandong immediately knew what happened.

No wonder they came to see me so late, it turned out that Lou Xiao'e’s parents were arrested.

"Da Mao, don't worry, tell me everything in detail. Don't worry, Xiao'e's parents will be fine."

Li Jiandong's tone was full of confidence.
As soon as he spoke, Xu Damao and Yan Bugui felt relieved.

Xu Damao said, "Master, this is what happened..."

He spent several minutes telling Li Jiandong the whole story. It was obvious that Yan Jiefang betrayed Lou Xiao'e's family in order to gain merit.

Of course, this can't be considered as betrayal. After all, Lou Bancheng's family background is indeed there.
Even if Yan Jiefang doesn't say it today, someone else will definitely think of it tomorrow.

If Loubancheng's problems are not resolved, they will become a time bomb sooner or later.
Li Jiandong originally thought that with Hu Haodang and Liu Haizhong serving as the director and deputy director of the management committee, no one would cause trouble for Lou Bancheng. Now he realized that he was wrong.

There are so many committees, any one of them can surpass Lou Bancheng's home.

If we want them to spend this period safely, the best way is to let them go to Hong Kong.

After Xu Damao finished speaking, Li Jiandong said,
"Okay, I know what happened. You guys go back first. It's too late to find anyone. I'll go out for a walk tomorrow. There shouldn't be any problem."

Li Jiandong's confidence comes from his network of contacts.

Although Leader Ye has no control over the streets, he is still a big leader after all. Even if he is not in the same system, his words definitely carry weight.
It seems that the problem cannot be solved today. Although Xu Damao is a little anxious, he also knows that his master is right, so after saying a few more words, he leaves with Yan Bugui.

the next day,
Li Jiandong got up early in the morning and drove to the ministry.
Seeing Leader Ye's car approaching from a distance, Li Jiandong quickly took two steps forward and waited.

The car stopped and Leader Ye got out. Seeing Li Jiandong, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Jiandong, why are you waiting for me here so early in the morning? Did something happen?"

Li Jiandong did not beat around the bush.

He nodded and said, "Boss, my apprentice's wife is Lou Bancheng's daughter. You know Boss Cheng. He took the initiative to give the steel mill to the state. But yesterday I heard that the people from the management committee arrested Lou Bancheng because of his driving problem."

"So, let me ask the senior leader if I should negotiate with them?"

Li Jiandong did not make a direct request, but left the decision to Leader Ye in an inquiring tone.

Leader Ye nodded.
With a smile on his face, he said, "So that's what happened. How about this, you go back to work first. I'll bring a friend to your factory for lunch at noon, so you have to have someone prepare something well."

"Okay, then I'd like to thank the leader first."

Li Jiandong understood what the Italian leader meant.
Is taking people over for a meal just to solve the problem?

Li Jiandong originally thought that Leader Ye could just make a phone call, but he didn't expect that he would come and accompany him in person. This showed that he really thought highly of him.

When I returned to the steel rolling mill and just entered the factory gate, Hu Haodang came over.

"Director Li, you know everything that happened in the hospital yesterday, right?"
