Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Just as Niu San stabbed again, Liu Changyi seized the opportunity and grabbed Niu San's wrist. His action was swift and decisive, like lightning. Niu San struggled hard, but Liu Changyi was very strong and he couldn't break free.

"Let me go!" Niu San said viciously. His face showed a painful expression, and his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness.

"Don't struggle, just come back with us and accept the investigation." Liu Changyi said firmly. His expression was serious and his eyes revealed majesty.

Liu Changyi twisted Niu San's wrist behind his back, forcing him to let go of the bayonet in his hand.

Niu San was unwilling to accept defeat, so he used his other hand to attack Liu Changyi.

Liu Changyi was prepared. He used his knee to press against Niu San's back and held him firmly in place.

Just at this moment, Niu San's brothers got the news and rushed over.

The leader was Niu Da, who was tall and strong, about 1.9 meters tall, like an iron tower.

He had a face full of flesh, thick black and messy eyebrows, like two brushes across his eyes. A pair of small eyes flashed with a fierce light, as if they could spit out fire at any time.

He was wearing a black leather jacket, a pair of worn jeans, and a pair of heavy leather boots. When he walked, his feet made a "dong dong" sound, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Following closely behind was Niu Er, who was slightly thin but very strong.

His hair was shaved short, standing up like the spines of a hedgehog, and his face was thin, with high cheekbones and a small tuft of beard on his chin.

His eyes were cold, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to strike. He wore a gray short-sleeved shirt, revealing two arms covered with tattoos. The tattoos were ferocious and scary.

The last one is Niu Si. He is short, fat and sturdy, like a round winter melon.

He has a big head and a short neck, which makes him look very funny.

But there was no smile on his face, instead there was a ferocious expression.

His eyes were not big, but they were very bright and revealed a fierce aura.

He was wearing a floral shirt and baggy shorts, and was holding a wooden stick in his hand, waving it around.

The three of them stopped Liu Changyi and others aggressively. Niu Da said in a rough voice: "Let my brother go!" Niu Er and Niu Si also shouted, their voices full of threats and provocations.

Liu Changyi and others were not afraid at all in the face of this sudden situation.

They protected Niu San tightly and looked at Niu Da and others vigilantly. Liu Changyi said calmly: "Don't mess around. Niu San is suspected of breaking the law. We must take him back for investigation."

Niu Da and others were not willing to listen. They approached Liu Changyi and others step by step, as if they were ready to take action at any time.

Niu Da and the others looked at each other, their eyes full of determination.

Of course they knew Liu Changyi's identity, and they also knew that they were from the security department of the Orchid Automobile Factory. But when they thought about the disastrous consequences if Niu San was taken away, especially since Niu San was the one who made the most money among them, they had to save Niu San no matter what.

Niu Da roared: "Brothers, go!"

His tall and burly body, like an iron tower, rushed forward suddenly. Every step he took on the ground made a dull sound, as if the earth was shaking.

He swung his huge fist, creating a gust of violent wind, and smashed it towards the security officer closest to him.

The security officer reacted quickly, dodging sideways nimbly and narrowly avoiding the fierce attack.

Niu Da's fist hit the pillar next to him, and with a loud "bang", the pillar trembled slightly, and several tiny cracks appeared on the pillar instantly. Niu Da's face showed an angry expression, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, like two angry caterpillars, and his eyes were burning with rage.

Niu Er was like a nimble poisonous snake, moving quickly among the crowd.

He was thin but very strong, and he moved silently. He had a sharp dagger in his hand, which flashed a chilling light in the sun. His eyes were cold, and he stared at the target, finding the right moment and stabbing a security officer.

The security officer hurriedly blocked the attack with his baton in his hand. There was a loud and crisp sound of metal collision and sparks flew.

Although Niu Er is not as strong as Niu Da, he is agile and keeps changing the direction of attack, making him as elusive as a ghost.

He sometimes attacked from the left and sometimes from the right, making it difficult for the security officers to defend themselves.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a cold smile.

Although Niu Si is short and fat, he has a lot of brute strength.

His round body was like a rolling winter melon. He waved a thick wooden stick in his hand and rushed over like a crazy beast.

He ran and shouted loudly, the sound seemed to burst people's eardrums.

He swung his stick wildly, creating chaos wherever he went. The security officers had to carefully dodge his attacks to avoid being hit. Niu Si's face was full of ferocity, and sweat was running down his cheeks, but he was completely unaware.

The security officers were not to be outdone, and they worked closely together, some using batons to block the attacks, while others took the opportunity to fight back.

Their movements were in unison and well-trained. Facing the fierce attack of Niu Da and his men, they did not flinch at all and bravely faced them.

A security officer dodged Niu Da's fist skillfully, and then hit Niu Da's leg hard with his baton. Niu Da roared in pain, but did not retreat. Another security officer was dealing with Niu Er, he calmly observed Niu Er's movements, looking for flaws. When Niu Er stabbed out the dagger again, he quickly used his baton to push the dagger away, and then kicked Niu Er in the abdomen. Niu Er bent over in pain.

A fierce battle broke out in the pigeon market, and the people around fled in all directions, fearing that they would be involved in the melee. The stalls in the pigeon market were smashed to pieces, and the goods were scattered all over the ground. The pigeons flew in the air in fear, making bursts of cries.

Dust flew everywhere, shouting and fighting mixed together, the scene was in chaos. The debris on the ground was kicked everywhere, and some hit the wall with a dull sound.

  Liu Changyi stood aside, observing the situation calmly.

He knew that the fight could not continue and the situation had to be controlled as soon as possible. He shouted, "Stop! What you are doing is illegal!" But Niu Da and his men would not listen to him. They only wanted to rescue Niu San.

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Liu Changyi decided to take action himself. He saw the right moment and rushed forward like a flash of lightning.

He grabbed Niu Si's hand that was swinging the stick. Niu Si struggled, but Liu Changyi was so strong that he couldn't break free. Liu Changyi took advantage of the situation and twisted Niu Si's arm behind his back, making him unable to move. Niu Si cried out in pain, with a look of despair on his face.

When Niu Da and Niu Er saw that Niu Si was restrained, they attacked even more frantically.

But the security officers worked closely together and gradually gained the upper hand. After a fierce fight, Niu Da and his men were finally subdued.

They lay on the ground panting, with unwilling expressions on their faces.

Their clothes were torn, their bodies were covered with scars, and sweat and dirt were mixed together.

After the Niu brothers were arrested, their faces were filled with frustration and panic.

Niu Da was the first to react, and his originally ferocious face was now filled with pleading.

"Sir! We know we are wrong. Please spare us."

Niu Da's voice was trembling, his eyes full of regret, "We were confused for a moment, just thinking about rescuing our brothers, but we didn't expect to make such a big mistake. We promise that we will never dare to do it again, so please let us go."

Niu Er also hurriedly followed up and said, "Yes, sir. We really know we are wrong. Niu San was also blinded by greed, but if he is taken away, what will happen to our family? We must behave ourselves in the future and never do anything illegal again."

Niu Er's eyes revealed deep fear and helplessness, and his voice was tearful, as if a desperate man was praying for the last glimmer of hope.

Although Niu Si was usually the most reckless, he was also quite frightened at this moment.

He cried, "Sir, please. We won't do it again. We know we were wrong.

Please let us go, we will obey you in the future and do whatever you ask us to do."

Niu Si's face was covered with a mixture of tears and sweat. His original arrogant expression had long disappeared, replaced by endless regret.

Liu Changyi looked at the Niu brothers who were begging desperately, and said in a serious face: "Listen carefully, only if Niu San tells me the whole story of stealing the waste cloth, I will consider letting you go. Otherwise, you will be punished by law."

When Niu Da and others heard this, they immediately turned their attention to Niu San.

A trace of panic first flashed across Niu Da's eyes, then was replaced by anxiety and ferocity.

He gritted his teeth, took a step forward, approached Niu San, and said in a low voice: "Old Third, you should quickly explain the matter clearly, otherwise we will all be in trouble with you.

Think about it, we are brothers, don’t we shoulder all the problems together in daily life?

Now that it has come to this, you can't be confused.

If you don't tell us, we will all be locked up, and then our family will be finished. Our parents passed away early, and we brothers have depended on each other for so many years. Do you have the heart to watch us all end up in such a miserable state?"

Niu Er also echoed anxiously, "Yes, Lao San. Don't bear it anymore. Tell us what happened so that we can be freed sooner. You don't want to see us all locked up in this dark place, do you? If you tell us, maybe the commander will give you a lighter sentence.

We still have a chance to start over in the future, but if you don't tell me, then there will really be no hope at all."

Niu Si was so anxious that he stamped his feet. His face turned red, and he shouted at Niu San: "What else do you want? Tell me now! Do you want us to be locked up? You usually have the best ideas, why are you so confused now? If you don't tell me, don't expect us to help you in the future. Think about it carefully. Is it more important for you to bear these crimes alone, or for us brothers to work together to find a solution to the problem?"

Niu San looked at his brothers' coercive eyes and felt full of contradictions.

He knew that if he spoke out, he might face more serious consequences. But if he didn't, his brothers would also be implicated. His face was pale, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his hands were clenched into fists.

When Niu Da saw that Niu San was still hesitating, he became even angrier.

  He suddenly grabbed Niu San's collar, shook him vigorously, and said viciously: "Old San, if you don't tell me, don't recognize us as your brothers. We were arrested to save you, what else do you want?

If you still have a conscience, please explain the matter clearly and stop dragging us down."

Niu Er also threatened: "Old Third, if you don't tell us, don't expect us to help you in the future. Think about it carefully. If we are all locked up, who can take care of your family? Don't be stupid."

Niu Size kept urging him, "Hurry up and tell me, Lao San. What are you waiting for? Do you want us to all wait here to die?"

Under the threat of his brothers, Niu San finally wavered.

He lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, looked at Liu Changyi and said, "Okay, I'll tell you what happened."

After Niu Er explained the matter, Liu Changyi looked at Niu Er with a complicated expression and said seriously: "Come on, follow me to the textile factory now."

They soon arrived at the textile factory and found Zhang Youfu, the head of the security department of the textile factory. Zhang Youfu was an experienced and serious man. Seeing Liu Changyi and Niu Er coming, he frowned slightly and asked, "Old Liu, what's going on?"

Liu Changyi briefly recounted the incident.

Although Yan Jiecheng was not caught, with Niu Er as a witness, Zhang Youfu could be sure that Xiaodang was not the main culprit and she was just deceived, so Zhang Youfu decided to let Xiaodang go.

Xiaodang was brought before Section Chief Zhang Youfu, her face full of tension and anxiety.

The Security Department's office seemed a little dim at this time. A few rays of sunlight slanted in through the gaps in the windows, but they could not dispel the depressing atmosphere.

Zhang Youfu sat behind his desk, looking at Xiaodang with a serious expression. Behind him was a row of neatly arranged filing cabinets, and the labels on the cabinets were faintly visible in the dim light.

Zhang Youfu cleared his throat and said, "Little girl, after investigation, although Yan Jiecheng was not caught, we can confirm that you are not the main culprit and were just deceived by someone because of Niu Er, a witness. However, you are also at fault to a certain extent and need to pay a fine of fifty yuan."

Xiao Dang was delighted when she heard that she could be released, but when she heard that she had to pay a fifty-yuan fine, she looked embarrassed. She bit her lip and whispered, "Chief, I know I was wrong. But my family is poor, and fifty yuan is really not a small amount for me. Can you please give me a smaller fine?" She clasped her hands tightly together, her eyes full of pleading.

Zhang Youfu frowned slightly, and his gaze lingered on Xiaodang for a moment.

The office was so quiet that one could hear the ticking of the wall clock. Then he said, "This is a rule and cannot be changed at will. You must know that if you make a mistake, you will have to bear the consequences. If you don't learn from this, you may make a bigger mistake in the future." (End of this chapter)
