Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 101 Asking for help
Xu Damao pleaded and made numerous promises, even taking out ten yuan from his pocket, before finally persuading Qin Jingru to agree to go home for the time being.

After seeing Qin Jingru off, Xu Damao went out to look for Lou Xiao'e.

But by then it was too late to go find Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e, who had been beaten, went directly to the neighborhood committee and told Director Wang about what had happened.

In this era, Xu Damao's infidelity is no small matter.

After learning the details of the matter, Director Wang immediately led his people to the courtyard house.

At that moment, Xu Damao went out to look for Lou Xiao'e, and the two did not meet.

So, unable to find anyone, Director Wang inquired about the situation from the elderly women in the courtyard.

As the women chatted amongst themselves, Director Wang quickly confirmed the truth of what Lou Xiao'e had said.

Director Wang originally planned to send people to arrest Xu Damao directly.

But then he realized that Xu Damao worked at the steel rolling mill.

Considering that the steel mill had always maintained a good relationship with the neighborhood committee, Director Wang ultimately decided to notify the steel mill and let it handle the matter itself.

After comforting the heartbroken Lou Xiao'e, Director Wang told her about her plans.

After obtaining Lou Xiao'e's consent, Director Wang left the courtyard.

After returning to the street office, Director Wang immediately called the security department of the steel rolling mill.

Upon learning of this matter, the head of the Public Security Section took it very seriously and immediately instructed Lin Jianfeng, the leader of the Public Security Team, to take people to handle the matter.

Not long after receiving the order, Lin Jianfeng arrested Xu Damao and put him in a dark room.

Xu Damao, who was taken to a small dark room, was initially relatively calm.

Thanks to his relationship with the factory leaders, and the fact that Qin Jingru had already been sent home by him.

Xu Damao believes that he will be able to go home soon.

However, he overestimated his popularity and underestimated the impact of this matter.

After being detained for two days and still not released, Xu Damao finally became afraid.

Especially when he learned from the guards who were holding him that his affair had become the talk of the town in the factory, Xu Damao became even more frightened.

Left with no other option, Xu Damao could only try to get close to the security guard, promising him benefits in exchange for notifying his parents.

After receiving a bribe from Xu Damao, the guards who were holding him agreed to Xu Damao's request.

Soon, Xu Damao's parents arrived at the security office's small dark room.

Upon seeing his parents, Xu Damao couldn't help but cry.

"Dad, you really have to help me this time."

Seeing Xu Damao in such a disheveled state, Xu's mother felt very sorry for him and immediately hugged him and cried.

Seeing the mother and daughter crying, Xu's father immediately scolded Xu Damao.

"You little brat, now you're scared? Where were you before?"

After being scolded by his father, Xu Damao released his mother and said with a gloomy expression.

"I didn't know this would happen so coincidentally. Dad, please stop scolding me and let's think about what to do."

"I can't breathe," Xu's father said with a sigh.

"Before I came here, I had already inquired about it. This matter has spread throughout the factory, and it may be difficult to handle in a short time."

Seeing that his father had no idea what to do, Xu Damao said in despair.

"Dad, what should we do? If this isn't handled properly, I'll definitely end up eating sand in the Northwest. I might as well be dead."

After hearing Xu Damao's tearful account, Xu's parents were at a loss for what to do and could only silently shed tears.

As Xu Damao was crying, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he said to his father.

“Dad, the only one who can save me now is Yan Jiecheng. He’s the deputy director of the security department now. As long as he’s willing to help, this matter can be easily resolved.” Although Mr. Xu had moved out of the courtyard house, he would sometimes go back and knew that Yan Jiecheng was doing quite well now.

After hearing Xu Damao's words, Xu's father perked up and asked.

"Da Mao, what's your relationship with the Yan family boy like? Is he willing to help?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Dad, I don't know if Yan Jiecheng is willing to help, but we have no choice but to try anything now."

Mr. Xu sighed deeply and said.

"Okay, we need to get this done quickly. I'll go find him now."

After leaving the security office, Xu's father did not go directly to Yan Jiecheng's residence.

Instead, he went home first, reluctantly took out his treasured savings, and then went to Yan Jiecheng's residence.

When Yan Jiecheng saw Xu's father arrive, he was taken aback and said with some uncertainty.

"You are... Uncle Xu?"

It's no wonder Yan Jiecheng was uncertain; he had never met Xu Damao's father in all these years.

The reason they were able to recognize each other was because of the original owner's memories.

When Xu's father saw that Yan Jiecheng recognized him, he quickly forced a smile and said.

"I didn't expect that after so much time, Jie Cheng, you would still recognize Uncle Xu."

Yan Jiecheng looked at Xu's father carrying large and small bags and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Uncle Xu, what's wrong...?"

Upon hearing Yan Jiecheng's question, Xu's father immediately knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"Jiecheng, you absolutely have to save Da Mao. If you don't help, Da Mao is doomed."

Yan Jiecheng quickly helped Xu's father up and asked, puzzled.

"Uncle Xu, what happened to Brother Da Mao? Please tell me, and I will help as much as I can."

Yan Jiecheng had been staying at home during this time and was unaware of what was happening at the courtyard house.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's puzzled look, Xu's father told him the whole story about Xu Damao.

After he finished speaking, Xu's father opened the package he had brought and placed it on the table.

"Jiecheng, I know Da Mao's matter is difficult to handle. This is some stuff that my family has accumulated. Please take it and help us take care of it."

Yan Jiecheng looked at the things on the table and couldn't help but sigh.

Wow, you really can't judge a book by its cover.

I never expected the Xu family to possess such a treasure.

There weren't many things on the table, only three items.

One of them is a golden Buddha statue, which looks quite heavy.

It was also a jade bracelet, and with its bright green color, even if Yan Jiecheng didn't know anything about jade, he would know that the bracelet in front of him was priceless.

The other item was a painting, but it was rolled up, and Yan Jiecheng didn't know its quality.

After glancing at the things on the table, Yan Jiecheng had a fierce internal struggle, and after a while, he said...

"Uncle Xu, what are you doing? I've known Brother Da Mao for so many years, aren't you just slapping me in the face?"

Yan Jiecheng said this not because he was arrogant, nor because he looked down on what was in front of him.

Rather, he didn't trust the character of the Xu family father and son, fearing that one day they might use today's events as leverage to threaten him.
