Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Chapter 578: Cutting off Li Huaide's Back Road

Li Zhenkui's end was very tragic, which also sounded a wake-up call to Li Huaide and his men, making them restrained themselves a little. However, then two more of Li Huaide's arrogant men were put into sacks when they went out at night, and their hands and feet were broken on the spot. However, only two limbs were broken, not all of their limbs. As a result, Li Huaide's men became much more obedient and no longer dared to be as arrogant as before.

Lin Geng did all this secretly. After they were done, Li Huaide and his men couldn't find who did it. They were scared to death. Not only did they become more restrained, they didn't even dare to go out alone at night. This made the steel mill much quieter.

As for Li Huaide, Lin Geng still has to rely on him as his umbrella. If he kills him, and someone else takes over the steel mill, who knows whether the new factory director will recognize him or not. So he will not touch Li Huaide, but not touching Li Huaide does not mean that he will not cheat this guy.

So Lin Geng began to secretly keep an eye on Li Huaide and observe Li Huaide's movements. He soon discovered that Li Huaide was not an honest man. In the past few years, he had obtained a lot of wealth through means of house searches and bribery.

But this guy made his fortune with the help of his father-in-law, so he certainly didn't dare leave the stolen goods at home and let his wife know about it, because then his father-in-law would definitely know about it. So this guy secretly bought a courtyard house with two entrances in Sijiu City, which is in a relatively quiet location. Every time this guy got money, he would transport it to this courtyard and hide it there.

After figuring out where Li Huaide hid his treasure, Lin Geng spent several nights staring at the yard and observing the situation there.

Li Huaide hid so many good things in this yard, so of course he would not fail to send people to watch over it. If Lin Geng was really crazy, it would be easy for him to kill the people Li Huaide arranged to live here. However, Lin Geng was not a murderer, and the people living here had not offended him, so he could not bring himself to kill them.

So he kept an eye on this yard for a few days, and finally found out that the person who was sent here by Li Huaide to watch over these treasures for him would go out every now and then around eight o'clock in the evening, stroll to a widow's house, and stay with the widow for a while. He would basically stay there until after ten o'clock before returning to the yard to sleep contentedly.

So Lin Geng squatted outside the yard, and after the guy left, he jumped into the yard. He first quickly put all the antiques and valuable Ming and Qing furniture piled in the two rooms into the small world, and then found the secret passage that had been discovered in advance and hidden under the large water tank in the kitchen, and went down to a small basement.

When he got down to the basement, he turned on the flashlight and saw a big box. It contained a lot of cash, which was probably no less than 60,000 or 70,000 yuan. They were all large-scale bills of varying ages, and there was basically no five-yuan bill.

Moreover, there was a layer of large and small yellow croakers at the bottom of the box, including forty or fifty large yellow croakers and at least two hundred small yellow croakers.

When Lin Geng shone the flashlight, his eyes were almost blinded and tears of excitement almost flowed from the corners of his mouth. After wiping his mouth, he immediately waved his hand and put the box into the small world.

After getting these things, Lin Geng immediately restored the water tank to its original position, then quietly left the yard and went home to sleep.

In the next few days, Lin would stroll around the factory whenever he had nothing to do, and also went to see Li Huaide.

Ever since the courtyard was robbed, Li Huaide has been acting as if his mother had died. He has a look of grief on his face. He stays in the office with a look of despair. When asked what happened, he refuses to say. He is in a daze and doesn't even have the mood to laugh and chat with Lin Geng when they meet normally.

Lin Geng smiled secretly in his heart and did not ask any more questions. He knew that Li Huaide must have suffered a severe psychological blow. It was understandable when you think about it. He had worked hard to do so many bad things over the years, harmed so many people, and finally accumulated a large sum of wealth. Suddenly, so many good things were robbed overnight, leaving him nothing. You can imagine how Li Huaide would feel.

The key point is that after this guy lost all his things, he didn't dare to report to the police. He could only swallow his anger and pretend that nothing had happened. If you want to find the thief who stole his house, you don't know where to start!

The fact that this guy didn't collapse and continued to work pretending to be serious shows that he has a very good mental quality.

After suffering this blow, Li Huaide was depressed for a long time. He even asked Lin Geng for Shenbao Pills less often. He didn't care much about the factory's affairs and didn't command his subordinates to search and search everywhere. He seemed to have lost his energy and spirit.

Lin Geng guessed that Li Huaide must have been very frightened ever since his house was robbed. Since someone could steal so much of his wealth silently without anyone noticing, then someone must have been targeting him and knew that he had made a lot of money in the past few years, which meant that they had evidence of his guilt.

Moreover, they were able to steal so much valuables without leaving any trace or making any noise, without leaving any trace. This shows that it was definitely not done by one person, but by a group of highly skilled people working together.

If the bad things he had done over the years were exposed by these people, not only would he, the director of the steel rolling mill and chairman of the factory's revolutionary committee, not be able to bear it, but even his father-in-law might not be able to protect him.

Moreover, he secretly hid so many good things without telling his wife and father-in-law. If something really happened to him, even his father-in-law might just give up on him. Not only would he not care about him, he might even cut off all ties with him for the sake of justice. In that case, he would definitely be dead.

So after Li Huaide's house was robbed, he didn't even dare to tell his father-in-law. He could only keep it to himself and was worried all day long. Lin Geng felt bad for him. The fact that he was not depressed was a sign of his strong mental quality. How could he still be in the mood to continue doing whatever he wanted?

Fortunately, after his house was robbed, a month or two passed and no one reported him. Li Huaide then became cheerful and returned to his previous self. However, for the next year or so, Li Huaide was very low-key and honest. He restrained his previous arrogance and even took the initiative to release some people who had been arrested and locked up in the cowshed by him and sent them home. He also became polite when speaking to people.

Lin was very satisfied with Li Huaide's performance. If this guy hadn't suffered a little loss, no one would have known his last name. After his house was robbed this time, at least this guy knew that the bad things he did were not unknown, and someone was always watching him. This would prevent this guy from getting carried away and harming more people.
