Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

Chapter 397 Pretending to be Calm Yi Zhonghai

Yi Zhonghai was shocked and knew that something was wrong.

He and Qin Huairu were blocked in the vegetable cellar late at night. Even if nothing happened, it would be a big deal, not to mention that there was something fishy going on between them.

The moment the door was broken open, it was no different from being caught cheating in bed.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai's back was already wet, his forehead and head were covered with sweat, and a trace of heat was coming out.

He had already anticipated that the reputation he had accumulated over most of his life would vanish into thin air the moment the door opened.

Qin Huairu was trembling violently. If she hadn't been holding onto the pile of vegetables beside her, she would have collapsed to the ground.

In this day and age, reputation is as important as life. Ten years later, reputation could cost a person his life.

Even though Yi Zhonghai always appeared confident when faced with difficulties, he still panicked at this moment.

Not only was I panicking, I was almost scared to death.

Just then, there was a noisy sound of talking outside.

Liu Haizhong, Wang Dabao, Xu Damao, Yan Bugui and others have arrived at the door of the vegetable cellar.

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and said, "Don't stand facing the door. Be careful of the weapons in the hands of the enemy spies."

After being reminded by Yan Bugui, Xu Damao, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng in front immediately gave up their seats in front of the vegetable cellar door.

Wang Dabao smiled and followed suit.

"Who's in there?"

Liu Haizhong's powerful voice almost made Yi Zhonghai fall down inside.

The sweat on Yi Zhonghai's head was pouring down like water. He didn't dare to say anything, and thought of ideas quickly in his mind. This was the biggest dilemma he had encountered in his life for decades.

Liu Haizhong cleared his throat and shouted again: "Listen, enemy agents inside. You have been surrounded by all the residents of the Red Star Courtyard. I advise you to put down your weapons and accept the punishment honestly."

After waiting for a while, there was still no sound from inside.

At this time, Sha Zhu hummed a little tune and walked into the middle courtyard. He had come back to get coal briquettes. But he saw a group of people gathered in the warehouse and asked curiously, "Hey, what are you doing at this late hour?"

After hearing his neighbor's explanation, Sha Zhu also joined in watching the fun.

Liu Haizhong couldn't help but look at Xu Damao: "Are you sure there's someone inside?!"

Xu Damao glanced at Wang Dabao, and when he saw Wang Dabao nod, he said confidently: "Don't worry, uncle, there must be someone in here. I heard someone talking inside when I blocked the door."

"It seems that the people inside are not simple."

Liu Haizhong thought that this person could remain calm and silent even though he was trapped inside, so he must be an enemy spy.

Yan Bugui straightened his dog-skin hat and came over: "How about we report to the security department?"

"Why report to the Security Department? Isn't Brother Dabao here?"

Liu Haizhong looked at Wang Dabao and asked slowly, "Dabao, if there really is an enemy spy in there, can we subdue him?!"

Wang Dabao didn't say anything, but reached into his cotton coat and took out a handful of big black stars.

"Crack!"

Safety on, load the gun!

Everyone around was dumbfounded. No one expected that Wang Dabao was carrying a real weapon.

Someone shouted, "Gun, it's a pistol!"

"I believe you all know my identity in the factory, and I have a legal gun license." In order not to cause panic among the residents, Wang Dabao explained.

Yan Bugui quickly waved his hand to signal everyone to stop arguing about this matter: "Everyone, stop talking. It's normal for Dabao to have a gun. He is the section chief and protects the safety of thousands of people in the factory. If you keep shouting like this, the enemy spies inside will be on guard."

Wang Dabao really wanted to say, what's the point of being on guard? He took out his gun, one reason being to scare Yi Zhonghai and ask him to come out quickly. It's so cold, who has time to stay here and play with you?

Secondly, it can also deter everyone in the compound to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.

In the vegetable cellar, Yi Zhonghai was almost scared to death.

What kind of people are these? They actually mistook him for an enemy spy and gathered everyone in the compound to capture him.

The worst one is Xu Damao. If you saw someone entering the cellar, why didn’t you just shout? He could have escaped in time.

As a result, the bastard blocked the door and then called Liu Haizhong over.

The hatred was so deep that Yi Zhonghai hated Xu Damao.

The most terrifying thing is that Wang Dabao also came with a gun. Judging from the noises outside, he might be mistaken for an enemy spy and shot dead!

No matter how important reputation is, it is not as important as life.

Yi Zhonghai made the most correct decision at this time.

"Lao Liu, it's me, Yi Zhonghai. Dabao, don't shoot. I'm Yi Zhonghai."

The people outside were stunned. It was indeed Yi Zhonghai's voice.

"Isn't this just nonsense?" Liu Haizhong was originally hunched over, his nerves tense, but Yi Zhonghai's shout immediately shattered his heroic dream.

If we catch an enemy spy and hand him over to the street office, what kind of reward will we receive?

"It was indeed Old Yi's voice. Okay, this is a commotion. Old Yi, why did you go to the vegetable cellar so late at night?" Yan Bugui also breathed a sigh of relief, "Hurry up and open the door, or you will suffocate inside."

When they heard that it was Yi Zhonghai inside, the residents watching outside also started chatting and laughing, without any trace of the tension and oppression they had just felt.

Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng stepped forward to remove the wooden stick stuck outside the door.

Then the door opened.

Yi Zhonghai, with a pale face, walked out holding the door frame and closed the door when he came out.

Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai glared at Xu Damao and said, "Xu Damao, are you sick? Why are you doing nothing else? Stop making trouble."

Yi Zhonghai looked at the crowd again and said, "Okay, everyone, go home. This is just a farce. Go home and have a rest. You have to get up early to go to work tomorrow."

Wang Dabao laughed. Yi Zhonghai was worthy of being Yi Zhonghai. He was still thinking of getting away with it.

"Old Liu, Damao said he heard voices. I guess Yi Zhonghai is not talking to himself in there." Wang Dabao whispered in Liu Haizhong's ear.

Liu Haizhong was stunned after hearing this. He didn't react at first. He muttered to himself for a few words before he realized that there must be someone in the vegetable cellar who hadn't come out yet.

"Yi Zhonghai, stand there."

Liu Haizhong shouted, his momentum rising sharply, "Why are you running into the vegetable cellar so late at night? Is there something you want to betray someone?"

Wang Dabao really wanted to kick Liu Haizhong in the back. Why don’t you just send your son in to take a look? Is it any use bluffing here? !

"I didn't eat dinner, so I want to get some cabbage."

Yi Zhonghai's heart had been beating wildly since he came out, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.

Xu Damao realized that he had already offended Yi Zhonghai, so he might as well break up with him. He said loudly, "Yi Zhonghai, this matter is not that simple. You didn't sleep at night and went to the vegetable cellar to get cabbage. This is unacceptable."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Yi Zhonghai with strange eyes.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned even paler. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was fishy. "Actually, I heard some noise in the vegetable cellar and thought there was a mouse or something, so I came down to take a look."

Xu Damao sneered: "How can it be so coincidental that you can deceive a three-year-old child?"

"Okay, stop arguing."

Liu Haizhong waved his hand and said, "Guangtian, go in and take a look."
