Chapter 159
These things were covered with cloth. Li Huaibin walked over and lifted up a piece of cloth, and then he saw that there were all antiques underneath.
Most of these antiques are bronze objects and some antique wooden furniture.
Li Jiandong didn't know much about these things, but he thought they should be quite valuable, otherwise Lou Bancheng wouldn't have collected them on purpose.
But since he gave the house to me, why didn’t I take the things away but keep them instead?
"Brother Jiandong, what are these? Why did Lou Bancheng put these things in here?"
Li Jiandong didn't know anything about antiques, and Qin Huairu certainly knew nothing about them. However, she could see that these things were quite high-end, and those that could be collected as antiques were generally exquisitely crafted.
Li Jiandong said:
"These are antiques. They can be sold for a lot of money in the future. However, they are a little dangerous now. If people find out, they might destroy them."
Li Jiandong covered the cloth again.
This is just one bedroom, and it’s full of antiques. What about the other two bedrooms and the study?
Thinking of this, Li Jiandong took Qin Huairu's hand and led her to the second room.
When I came to the second bedroom and opened the door, I found that there were indeed many things inside.
Li Jiandong took a general look and found that the room was filled with porcelain. One should know that a good porcelain antique is often priceless, with some worth millions or even tens of millions being common.
This room full of porcelain, even if they are all ordinary goods, is probably much more valuable than this villa.
Coming to the third bedroom, this bedroom was filled with some foreign goods. Compared with the things in the first two bedrooms, the value of the things here was much lower. They were mainly some record players and other things.
Although the value is not very high, these are all illegal items. If they are discovered by someone, the impact will be serious.
There is also a study room, with relatively few things in it, only some ancient books and calligraphy and paintings.
The price of so many antiques is much more valuable than the house itself. Even if the antiques nowadays are not as valuable as they will be in the future, there are still many of them.
This kind of thing is high in value, but also comes with high risks.
If these things were put into the hands of ordinary people, not only would they not be valuable, but they would also easily lead to disaster.
"Brother Jiandong, these things are all illegal items, right? How could Mr. Lou do this? He put these things in the house and gave you the house. Isn't this framing you?"
Qin Huairu now understood what the things inside represented.
To put it bluntly, these are things that can cost lives.
If you just give a house as a gift, it can be considered as a thank you, but if you put these things in it, that is another matter.
Li Jiandong also frowned slightly. His thoughts were different from Qin Huairu's.
Although these things are indeed dangerous, Lou Bancheng probably didn't mean to frame him.
The reason why he left these things in the house was probably because he was in a hurry to leave and didn't have time to deal with them.
However, Lou Bancheng overestimated Li Jiandong.
Even Li Jiandong couldn't handle these sensitive things.
In fact, because of these things, Li Jiandong no longer dared to come to the villa casually.
Otherwise, if someone sees it, it will cause some trouble.
It is very common to see things being vandalized outside nowadays. These rooms are full of valuable things. It would be a shame if they were destroyed.
"Okay, let's stop talking for now. Let's get out of here. This house is not habitable for the time being."
Li Jiandong took Qin Huairu's hand and left the room with him.
Then I locked the door and rode my bike back the same way.
at the same time,
In the tavern dormitory building, Yan Jiefang came back drunk from outside.
I took out my key, opened the door, and just as I walked into the house, a man suddenly followed me, blocked the door with his hand, squeezed into the house and said, "Jiefang, where have you been? Why are you back so late?"
The person who squeezed into the room was Yan Jiefang's brother, Yan Jiecheng.
Yan Jiecheng has been waiting for Yan Jiefang since he got off work.
He needs to find Yan Jiefang to complete the task assigned to him by Li Jiandong.
Seeing that it was Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang laughed disdainfully.
"Yan Jiecheng, where I go is none of your business. Just take care of yourself. You don't need to meddle in my business."
Yan Jiecheng frowned.
"Who are you talking to about me? I'm your brother, why are you talking like that?"
"Haha, Yan Jiecheng, now you think of me as your brother, but I don't think of you as my brother, aren't you just a dog raised by Li Jiandong?
He didn't even let your own brother go. I think Li Jiandong asked you to come here today, right?"
Yan Jiefang said with a look of disdain, it's no wonder that he guessed it right, this time it was indeed Li Jiandong who asked Yan Jiecheng to come.
But the problem is, the reason why Li Jiandong asked Yan Jiecheng to come to him was because he wanted to give him another chance. If Li Jiandong sent someone else directly, he might not even have a chance to speak.
But Yan Jiefang didn't think so much about it.
He waved his hand to Yan Jiecheng and said, "Go quickly. I'm going to sleep. Go back and tell Li Jiandong that I'm not his disciple. Tell him to stop interfering in my affairs."
Yan Jiecheng angrily grabbed Yan Jiefang by the collar.
He yelled at him:
"Yan Jiefang, do you know what you are saying here? Is it wrong for the master to take care of you? Look at what you have become now? In all the years of our courtyard, you are the first one to turn your arm out. If I don't take care of you anymore, won't you tear down our courtyard?"
Yan Jiefang sneered:
“It’s demolished if it’s demolished. We were not a family to begin with, we just lived in the same courtyard.
Besides, you were the ones who wronged me first. I was just pursuing Yang Xue, wasn't I?
Why was Li Jiandong fired? Is it true that officials are allowed to set fires but ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps? I just don’t believe this.”
Yan Jiefang became more and more excited as he spoke, and Yan Jiecheng knew that he could not provoke him any further.
So, taking a deep breath, Yan Jiecheng said in a calm tone:
"Jiefang, tell me the truth, was it your own idea to report Lou Xiao'e this time, or were you bewitched by someone?"
There was still expectation in Yan Jiecheng's eyes. He hoped that his brother had been bewitched.
This means that Yan Jiefang can still be saved. If this is his own idea, then Yan Jiecheng doesn't know what to do.
Yan Jiefang didn't want to answer him at all.
He sneered and said,
"Yan Jiecheng, you should just go do what you need to do. I'll say it again, you don't have to worry about my affairs, and you can't control me.
I am now the captain of the patrol team of the management committee. Even if he is Li Jiandong, he can't control me, not to mention that you are just the captain of a transport team."
Yan Jiefang's tone was full of disdain.
Although Lou Bancheng was released in the end and Lou Xiaoe was not caught, Director Gu still promoted him.
The reason why he came back so late today was because he invited his colleagues to drink together after his promotion.
Yan Jiecheng's lips trembled with anger when he heard him say this.
Pointing at Yan Jiefang, he said, "Okay, okay, Yan Jiefang, this is what you said, okay, then I won't care about you anymore."
After saying this, Yan Jiecheng slammed the door and walked out.
At this moment, Hu Haodang was waiting outside Yan Jiefang's house. When he saw Yan Jiecheng coming out, Hu Haodang asked, "What happened? Did you say anything to him?"
Yan Jiecheng shook his head.
"I can't discipline my younger brother. He doesn't even take me seriously now."
Hu Haodang sneered and said:
"In that case, leave him to me. I want to see how bad his temper is."
Yan Jiecheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out.
This time he came with Hu Haodang, having made preparations for both scenarios. Since Yan Jiefang didn't listen to him, it would be Hu Haodang's turn to take action next.
So he nodded and said:
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Director Hu."
Hu Haodang nodded, then kicked Yan Jiefang's door open.
Yan Jiefang was washing his face and getting ready to go to bed when suddenly the door was kicked open. He was startled and turned around to see that it was Hu Haodang. He was about to get angry, but suddenly he became silent.
Looking at Hu Haodang, he asked:
"Hu Haodang, what do you want to do? This is my home. Even if you are the director of the steel mill management committee, you still have to pay for breaking my door."
Hu Haodang ignored him completely, walked up to him a few steps, and kicked him to the ground.
Pointing at his nose and scolding,
"Yan Jiefang, listen carefully. Now you have to answer whatever I ask you. If you dare to say one more word, I will beat you to death." "Hu Haodang, you..."
Yan Jiefang was about to say something when he was slapped in the face before he could finish his words.
With a snap, Yan Jiefang's face instantly turned red.
Hu Haodang looked down at him and said, "You little bastard, you ignored what I just said, didn't you? Damn it, if you dare to say it again, I will slap your mouth."
Yan Jiefang said with some fear:
"Hu Haodang, how dare you hit me? I'm the captain of the street patrol team, not your subordinate. What right do you have to hit me?"
With a snap, another slap.
Hu Haodang sneered at Yan Jiefang and said, "Come on, keep talking and see who is harder, your mouth or my slap."
Yan Jiefang didn't dare to say anything now.
Seeing Hu Haodang shivering there,
Seeing that he had calmed down, Hu Haodang took two steps to the side, took a stool and sat down, looking at Yan Jiefang who was lying on the ground and asked,
"Now I ask you a question, who told you to be the Zero who reported Lou Bancheng?"
"Also, why do you want to join the neighborhood committee? You have no skills at all, why should they accept you?"
Yan Jiefang was somewhat dissatisfied.
Who said I have no skills? You just look down on me. The street has a better vision than you.
However, having just received two slaps in the face, Yan Jiefang did not dare to say anything.
He answered honestly, "I was fired by Li Jiandong, and the street office was recruiting, so I reported myself. You think I'm incompetent, but the street office doesn't think so. Not only did they let me join the management committee, they also made me the leader of the patrol team."
Hu Haodang looked at the complacent Yan Jiefang and said with a disdainful smile,
"Fuck you! You got this position by betraying your neighbor, and you're getting cocky. I have another question, answer it honestly."
"Let me warn you first. If someone else supports you, I will definitely find that person and deal with him."
"But if you are the one who betrays our neighbors, you will be in big trouble."
Hu Haodang smiled sinisterly.
He had been to the battlefield and killed Japanese invaders, and there was murderous intent in his eyes. Although he was smiling at the moment, it brought considerable pressure to Yan Jiefang.
Yan Jiefang swallowed hard.
He had not intended to answer Hu Haodang's question properly, but at this moment, seeing Hu Haodang's murderous eyes, he immediately became timid.
I can only answer honestly:
"Hu Haodang, I'm not afraid of you. I just don't want to take the blame for others for nothing. The idea of reporting Lou Xiaoe and his parents was not mine. It was Yi Zhonghai who reminded me of it."
"Damn it. It's that old bastard again."
Hu Haodang cursed.
Although when he came to this college, Yi Zhonghai had already moved to the tavern dormitory building.
However, Hu Haodang had already heard about the affairs of Li Jiandong and Yi Zhonghai when he was working at the steel mill.
Ever since he moved into Yard 40, he had often heard the residents in the yard talking about Yi Zhonghai after dinner.
It can be said that Hu Haodang knew all the things that Yi Zhonghai saw.
However, Yi Zhonghai has disappeared in recent years. Although he lives in the dormitory building of the tavern, he is very superficial and has no sense of existence.
Unexpectedly, after the wind started, this old bastard became active again.
"You are such a fool. Don't you know who Yi Zhonghai is? You've been hanging around with him, no wonder you've become what you are now. I'll give you three days to move out of our courtyard. Otherwise, I'll beat you up every time I see you in the future."
Hu Haodang issued an ultimatum to Yan Jiefang.
No matter what, Yan Jiefang is Yan Jiecheng's younger brother, and Hu Haodang can't kill him or cripple him.
The best outcome should be to kick him out of this yard, out of sight and out of mind.
When Yan Jiefang heard this, he jumped up immediately and said, "Why? I have lived here since I was a child. This is our courtyard. You have only moved in for a few years. Why are you driving me away?"
Hu Haodang didn't waste time talking to him. He raised his right hand and gestured twice in front of him.
He sneered and said, "You ask me why? Just because of this? You can choose not to move out. When the time comes, you will see if I dare to beat you up."
Yan Jiefang was so frightened that he took two steps back.
He had just witnessed Hu Haodang's terrifying nature. He would beat people up at the slightest disagreement.
He believed that what Hu Haodang said was true. If he didn't move out within three days, Hu Haodang would really meet him and beat him up.
Moreover, the other party is the director of the steel rolling mill management committee, two levels higher than the director of the street committee. If he beats me, no one can protect him.
"Okay, okay, Hu Haodang, you can bully me all you want. It's just a shabby compound. I don't want to live with you guys anymore."
Hu Haodang sneered. As long as Yan Jiefang moved out, the matter would be half settled.
As for the remaining half, of course it belongs to Yi Zhonghai.
After leaving Yan Jiefang's house, Hu Haodang went straight to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house next door.
"Yi Zhonghai, open the door."
Hu Haodang knocked on the door and shouted inside, but got no response.
At this moment, the room was pitch dark. Hu Haodang knocked on the door several times but received no response.
So, Hu Haodang decided to go all out. He raised his foot and kicked the door again. The door frame opened with a click. When Hu Haodang walked in, he found that the room was empty and Yi Zhonghai was nowhere to be found.
"Damn it. This old bastard seemed to know that something bad was going to happen, so he ran away early."
Yan Jiecheng also came over and stood behind Hu Haodang and said, "Director Hu, was it Yi Zhonghai who bewitched my brother?"
Hu Haodang nodded, "That's right, your brother is also stupid. Even I know who this Yi Zhonghai is? He has lived here for so many years and he doesn't even know."
Yan Jiecheng remained silent, unable to say anything.
Yan Jiefang and Yan Bugui also had a great deal of responsibility for why they believed in Yi Zhonghai.
Because they did not pay enough attention to Yan Jiefang, Yi Zhonghai took advantage of the situation.
However, it's too late to say this now.
The next day, Li Jiandong came to the steel rolling mill.
As soon as I sat down in the office, Hu Haodang knocked on the door and walked in.
Li Jiandong saw Hu Haodang and gestured, "Haodang, is there something going on over at Jiefang?"
Hu Haodang found a stool and sat down, then said to Li Jiandong:
"Director Li, your guess is right. Yan Jiefang was indeed bewitched by someone, and that person is Yi Zhonghai."
"After asking clearly last night, I was ready to go and arrest him directly. Unfortunately, this old guy is too cunning. Maybe he sensed something was wrong and left early. He didn't come back this morning either."
Li Jiandong was slightly stunned.
He didn't expect that this matter was related to Yi Zhonghai.
After all, Yi Zhonghai has been very well behaved in the past few years and hasn't come out to show his presence for a long time.
Li Jiandong had almost forgotten about this person, but he didn't expect him to jump out again at this time.
"So it was him. He's a dog that can't change its nature."
Hu Haodang nodded, "That's right, I caught this old bastard, I have to teach him a lesson. I have arranged for people to search for Yi Zhonghai throughout the street, we will find him in a few days, then you can see how I torture him."
Hu Haodang laughed cruelly.
For people like Yi Zhonghai, we have to beat him to death, otherwise once we give him the chance, he will just act like a humiliator.
However, to Hu Haodang's surprise, he arranged for people to search for several days and searched the entire street, but still could not find any trace of Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai seemed to have evaporated. No matter how hard his people tried to find him, they could not find him.
You have to know that in this era, you need a letter of introduction to go anywhere, including staying in a hotel. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to stay.
Hu Haodang found it very difficult to understand why Yi Zhonghai, such a living person, disappeared out of thin air.
Little did he know that Yi Zhonghai was also very cruel to him. He knew that he had really offended Li Jiandong and others this time. Besides, it was windy now. If he was caught, he would be skinned alive even if he didn't die.
