Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

"Although there was no conclusive evidence, a large amount of stolen money and goods were found in Deputy Factory Director Li's home. This is an undeniable fact."

"I assure all the leaders that as long as the factory sends people to search Lou Wanshan's home, they will definitely find evidence related to 980."

Xia Jie handed the water glass to Cao Xu, indicating that he should refill her water.

Cao Xu shook his head helplessly. A leader is a leader. He remembered that when he was at home, it was Xia Jie who served him tea and water.

Xia Jie leaned back in her chair, looking at Xu Damao with disdain.

"Xu Damao, the security department needs evidence to issue a search warrant for Lou Wanshan. If they can't find anything, will you bear the consequences?"

Xu Damao said nonchalantly.

“Director Sun, Deputy Director Xia, the Lou family has connections in the steel rolling mill.”

"If we don't investigate this quickly, and the Lou family gets wind of it and runs away, the higher-ups will definitely send people to track them down."

"If it turns out that the three leaders received my report as their former son-in-law but didn't send anyone to search, that responsibility would be quite significant."

Sun Guofu stared wide-eyed.

"Xu Damao, are you threatening us?"

Xu Damao quickly waved his hand, adopting a respectful demeanor.

"Director Sun, you're exaggerating. How could I dare threaten a leader?"

"I was just stating the facts and trying to relieve the leaders' worries."

After thinking for a moment, Sun Guofu looked at the guy who had dragged him down with him.

"Cao Xu, why don't you take Xu Damao and go to the Lou family to investigate?"

Cao Xu thought to himself, "Trying to run away when trouble comes? Dream on!"

Last time, my buddy took the lead and stole the show; this time it's your turn.

"Director Sun, I stopped you when I went to search Li Huaide's house last time, I'm very sorry."

"This time I can't stop you. Let's go take a look together and see the dazzling array of goods Xu Damao described."

Now that Cao Xu had said this, how could Sun Guofu possibly refuse?

He thought for a moment, then put on a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

"Alright, then I'll go all out today and accompany you to the Lou family."

"But let me make this clear first: if I don't come to work tomorrow morning, remember to bring some medicine to help with blood circulation and remove blood stasis when you visit me at my house."

Xia Jie smiled faintly.

"Director Sun, what are you saying?"

"It's just that I went out for a walk and came back a little late. Does your sister-in-law really want you to kneel on a washboard?"

Sun Guofu looked at Cao Xu, who was already getting dressed and seemed ready to leave at any moment, and asked.

"Cao Xu, do you think we should report this to Director Yang?"

Cao Xu cursed under his breath, calling him an old fox, and quickly responded.

"Director, you are the head of our security department, so you should make the decision."

"I'm just a pawn under your command. I'm good at cheering and shouting, but I'll have to trouble you with the communication between superiors and subordinates."

Sun Guofu thought to himself, "You call yourself a pawn? I've never seen a pawn like you before."

There's a saying that a pawn can hold up a cart, and that's absolutely true. Once you've crossed the river, you dismantle the bridge, and once you've dismantled the bridge, you can walk sideways.

Now look what's happened! When trouble comes, you hide in the back and leave me out. You want me to take the fall? Dream on!

"Deputy Director Xia, what do you think?"

Xu Damao couldn't stand the way these people were dragging their feet, so he spoke frankly.

"The three leaders, Director Yang knows about this matter."

Cao Xu, Sun Guofu, and Xia Jie exchanged glances, all with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

"You're saying that Director Yang knows about the Lou family's affairs?"

Xu Damao nodded.

"Yes, I know. I came from Director Yang's department before I came to the security department."

Cao Xu asked.

"Before you came here, did you report the Lou family to Factory Director Yang?"

Xu Damao shook his head.

"No, but Director Yang knows about the Lou family's affairs, and he also received the report."

"I came here thanks to Director Yang's advice, which was a wake-up call. That's why I made this decision to put aside my family for the greater good."

Cao Xu waved his hand, telling Zhao Dong to take Xu Damao outside to wait. After Xu Damao left, Cao Xu picked up the phone on the table and made a call.

After the call connected, Cao Xu gave a brief report to Director Yang.

Soon, Director Yang's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Cao Xu, since Xu Damao is so certain, then your security department should go there."

"By the way, remember to follow the procedures and get your Director Sun to issue a search warrant."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Xu smiled slightly and looked at Sun Guofu.

"Director, Factory Director Yang has agreed to investigate the matter at the Lou family's place. Let's get ready and set off in a bit."

Sun Guofu said.

"Alright, let's go then."

"By the way, Cao Xu, you'll be leading the team this time."

Cao Xu shook his head.

"Director, you're not an outsider either. It's really inappropriate for me to lead the team; it would give people something to say."

"The fact that the leaders allowed me to participate in this operation today already shows their trust in me. I think it's better if you, Director, personally select the personnel."

After thinking for a moment, Sun Guofu proposed his own candidate.

"How about we let Yao Hao from Group One lead the team, and we'll stay behind to cover them?"

A hint of a smile flashed in the corners of Cao Xu and Xia Jie's eyes. This old guy hadn't been working in the security department for nothing all these years; he was quite clever.

“I think it’s acceptable. Although Yao Hao was recommended and promoted by Li Huaide, the investigation team couldn’t find any problems during their review this time.”

"Such a good comrade would never engage in favoritism, fraud, or deception. The director has excellent judgment."

With the matter settled, Cao Xu and the others did not linger any longer. After Sun Guofu signed the search warrant, he immediately gathered his men and set off.

This time, Cao Xu and his group didn't sneak off to the Lou family's house like they did last time; instead, they drove openly in the steel rolling mill's vehicle.

Cao Xu, Sun Guofu, Xia Jie, and Xu Damao sat in the jeep, while the rest of the security personnel followed behind in a small truck.

The group drove off with a rumble towards the Lou family's small white building. After Cao Xu and the others left, Secretary Zhang went to Director Yang's office.

"Factory manager, Director Sun and the others have already set off."

Factory Director Yang said without looking up.

"How did they get there? How many people went?"

Secretary Zhang said.

"They drove off, in a jeep used by factory leaders and a small truck from the security department."

"The team led by Yao Hao, the group leader of the Security Section, included Director Sun, Deputy Director Xia, Section Chief Cao, and a total of 25 people from the Security Section."

Factory Director Yang looked up and checked the time.

"It's getting late, I'm going to take a nap. Remember to wake me up when they come back."

After leaving those words, Director Yang stood up and walked towards the inner lounge.

In the car, Xu Damao was a little dazed; things had gone too smoothly today.

Who is Lou Wanshan? He's known as Lou the Half-City. Did he really get taken down so easily?

However, these thoughts were quickly overshadowed by the joy of going to raid the house.

He knew that once the security personnel entered the Lou family's house and found something, the Lou family's crime would be sealed.

Lou Wanshan, who once looked down on him, will become a prisoner.

He wanted to see if Lou Xiao'e, who always acted like a spoiled young lady, could still be so arrogant then.

And then there's Cao Xu, who always bosses him around. Once the Lou family falls, his job as head of security will probably be over.

If you put in a little more effort, you might be able to drag him into the Lou family's quagmire as well, and let him experience what it's like to clean toilets.
