Chapter 144 The Bandits Arrive
On the 14th day of the twelfth lunar month, at dusk, in the alley behind the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital on Dong'anmen North Street, the living room of the main house in the courtyard was full of people. Scarface looked at his men and said, "Sixth son, since everyone is here, tell the brothers what you have learned in the past two days!"
"Yes!" Liuzi responded and said, "After Xie Laoer's investigation, the location of the treasure has been determined, No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. This is a three-story courtyard. The boss and I have visited the location many times and compared the treasure map. We have determined that the entrance to the secret room is in a corner of the middle courtyard. This courtyard will be locked at o'clock every night and will not be opened until : the next morning. There are seven and a half hours in between. I have observed it. This courtyard is at the innermost part of the alley, and there is a dead end behind it. We can directly climb over the wall from here to enter the middle courtyard. As long as we don't make a lot of noise, basically no one will find out."
Scarface continued, "Although this courtyard is in a good location and is not easily discovered, we cannot let our guard down. This courtyard is only a dozen minutes away from the police station. And there are often police patrols around. So we can't make too much noise this time!"
Xiong Laowu asked, "Boss, you didn't go to the wrong place this time like you did the last two times, did you?!"
Scarface looked at Xie Laoer. Xie Laoer said, "Boss, your treasure map is too old, and many places have changed. Even if there are deviations, it is normal."
Scarface said, "If you work hard enough, you can grind an iron rod into a needle. Even if you are looking for a needle in a haystack, as long as you try a few more times, even if you can't get the needle, you can still get something else. Did you come up empty-handed these two times?!"
Ma Lao San, who had been silent the whole time, asked, "Boss, when are we going to start this time?!"
Scarface replied, "Tomorrow! Everyone come to my place for dinner tomorrow night. We'll set out at 10pm. We'll be there in an hour at most. We'll start at midnight and try to control the entire courtyard in half an hour. It's still the same old rules. Second brother Xie will be the lookout, third, fourth and fifth brothers will be in charge of the front yard, sixth, seventh and eighth brothers will be in charge of the back yard, and the rest of us will be in charge of the middle yard with me. As long as we succeed this time, we brothers won't have to worry about the rest of our lives."
Hearing Scarface's words, everyone present laughed at the same time, and each of them imagined a scene of being hugged by girls on both sides and counting money until their hands cramped.
At the same time, at the car repair shop at the entrance of Nanluoguxiang, there is Qin Huairu's home.
Qin Huairu was lying on the bed, her head resting on Sun Quezi's arm, and she asked worriedly, "Boss, I didn't even tell my family about our marriage. What do you think my brother and sister will say when they go back?!"
Sun Quezi said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. I'll go back to your parents' home with you during the Chinese New Year. If anything happens, I'll take care of it for you."
Qin Huairu was delighted when she heard Sun Quezi's words. She turned her head to look at Sun Quezi and asked, "Really?! Are you really willing to go home with me for the New Year?!"
Sun Quezi replied: "Of course it's true. How could I lie to you?!" Then he asked: "Tell me, how are you going to reward me?!"
Qin Huairu said shyly, "Damn it, I'm all yours. How else do you want me to reward you?!"
Sun Quezi laughed and pressed down on Qin Huairu. Then the bed creaked as if it could not bear the weight.
As the year draws to a close, there are more things to entertain. He Yuzhu also began his painful and joyful work. He entertained at noon and then at night. Although there are a lot of supplies in He Yuzhu's supermarket, no one complains about the large amount of things. For the entertainment of his own factory, He Yuzhu would take away the good things of the entertainment of other factories when others are not paying attention.
On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, a Friday, a little after seven in the evening, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle out of the steel mill.
"Zhu Zi, you've come back really late these days?!" Yan Bugui heard the noise and came out of the house. When he saw He Yuzhu, he smiled and joked.
He Yuzhu said, "Uncle, I also want to come back early. It's because the factory has so many entertainments recently. I have no choice. I don't want to chat with you anymore. I haven't eaten yet!" After saying that, He Yuzhu quickly got rid of Yan Bugui's entanglement and pushed his bicycle into the yard.
After He Yuzhu left, Yan Bugui chuckled, closed the door and locked it.
It is said that the moon on the 15th is round and bright, but for some reason, the moon tonight was covered by a thick halo. As the saying goes, a dark and windy night is a time for murder and arson. When He Yuzhu walked to the door of his house, he shivered unconsciously, as if something bad was going to happen. He Yuzhu didn't think much about it, took out the key, opened the door, and pushed the bicycle into the house.
At this time, He Yushui heard the noise and came out from the east wing. He Yuzhu heard the footsteps, turned his head to look at He Yushui, and asked, "Have you had dinner?!"
He Yushui replied: "My sister-in-law and I had a simple meal."
He Yuzhu said, "Until the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, I may have to work overtime these few nights. We have all kinds of food at home. If you want, you can cook at home. If you don't want to, you can go to a state-owned restaurant. If that doesn't work, you can go to the chef's house for a few days."
He Yushui stretched out her hand and smiled at He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu took out the money and bills that he had prepared long ago from his pocket and said, "Girl, don't be reluctant to spend money."
"I know! You're so nagging!" He Yushui grabbed the money and tickets from He Yuzhu's hand and asked, "Brother, your wedding is just a few days away. Are the dishes ready? Do you want me to do anything?!"
He Yuzhu replied: "The dishes are ready. There's nothing else to do. It's getting late, you should go back and rest!"
"Hey!" He Yushui responded and bounced back to the east wing. He Yuzhu closed the door and turned into the supermarket space.
Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. Not only was the courtyard quiet, but the entire Nanluoguxiang was also very quiet. He Yuzhu, who was sleeping, heard the sound of a stone falling to the ground, and his eyes opened immediately. After listening to the noise for a while, He Yuzhu quickly put on his clothes and pants, went downstairs quickly, walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked into the yard. He saw someone sneaking over the wall.
He Yuzhu grabbed the small shoulder pole behind the door, opened the door, and tiptoed out. While the people outside were not paying attention, He Yuzhu ran behind a pillar of the corridor. After another ten minutes, he saw everyone entering the middle courtyard. He Yuzhu reached out and turned on the street light in front of the middle courtyard.
As the lights came on, Scarface's expression changed. He Yuzhu walked out from behind the pillar and asked, "Who are you?! What do you want to do?!"
Scarface waved his hand and ordered, "Kill him!"
Immediately, two men drew their daggers and rushed towards He Yuzhu. When the two men got close, He Yuzhu also moved. In the blink of an eye, the two men were hit by a carrying pole and fell to the ground, losing their fighting ability.
Seeing this, Scarface's expression changed, and he shouted, "Go!"
The noise in the yard woke up Gao Dajun who lived in the west wing. Gao Dajun put on his clothes, took out the gun hidden under his pillow, turned on the safety and ran out of the house, shouting: "Don't move! Put down your weapons! Put your hands up!"
