Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1185: Family Compound Surrounded

Zhang Yu waved his hand: "It's okay. If Master Wu really wants to go into this field, I can make a list of books for him, which may be of some help to him."

After saying that, he found a piece of paper and wrote down the titles of several books that he had used when he first started studying.

Master Wu took the piece of paper with excitement on his face and put it carefully in his arms as if he had received a great treasure.

"Thank you, Master Xiao Zhang. I want to thank you on behalf of that brat Jinzhong."

Master Wu left with a grateful look on his face. Ten minutes later, he added some twice-cooked pork to Zhang Yu and the others as an apology.

However, Zhang Yu clearly felt that before the other party left, his eyes were still on him.

Although the gaze was rather obscure, Zhang Yu could feel it.

After Master Wu left, Director Li winked at Secretary Lin, who nodded slightly to show that he had received the message.

Zhang Yu pretended not to see the two people's little movements.

Only by experiencing it personally will you discover that this era is far more complicated than described in later books.

However, Director Li, a veteran, is more vigilant than him in this regard.

"Eat, eat, Master Zhang, eat quickly!" Director Li urged Zhang Yu to continue eating with a calm expression.

However, maybe God didn't want them to have a peaceful meal today.

Just as Master Wu left, a few people had taken a few bites of food when someone else rushed in.

Being interrupted again and again, even though Director Li had a good temper, he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy. He looked up at the person who broke in.

When the man saw Director Li, his eyes lit up and he shouted, "Director Li, Director Li, something bad has happened. The police and the army have come and have surrounded the family compound."

"What's going on?" Director Li put down his chopsticks, frowned and asked.

The man shook his head vigorously: "I don't know what happened. Just now when I went to eat, someone happened to spill food all over me. I was thinking of going back to change clothes, but when I walked into the family compound, I saw a group of people surrounding it."

Then he added: "Those people are holding guns."

Director Li stood up suddenly and turned to look at Secretary Lin: "Xiao Lin, please treat Master Zhang well. I'll go over to see what's going on."

"Okay, director."

After instructing Secretary Lin, Director Li looked at Zhang Yu again, apologetically saying, "Master Zhang, you eat first. I have something to go out for."

After Director Li left, only Zhang Yu and Secretary Lin were left, facing each other in silence.

"Master Zhang, please eat..."

At Secretary Lin's polite words, Zhang Yu picked up his chopsticks and started eating again, but his attention was no longer on the food in front of him.

After swallowing the whole meal, he turned to look at Secretary Lin beside him, who also seemed a little absent-minded.

Since he was full, Zhang Yu simply put down his chopsticks and said to Secretary Lin, who had obviously finished eating as well, "How about this?"

Secretary Lin glanced at Zhang Yu and confirmed that he was really full, so he didn't persuade him any further.

I looked down at the leftover food on the table, feeling a little regretful.

"Master Zhang, please wait a moment. I'll go talk to Master Wu."

Zhang Yu nodded: "You go and do your thing, or I'll go back first?"

Secretary Lin shook his head: "That won't do. Director Li has already instructed me to send you back personally." After saying that, Secretary Lin hurried out as if he was afraid that Zhang Yu would insist on leaving on his own.

Zhang Yu vaguely heard his voice in the room.

Secretary Lin: "Master Xiao Wu, where is your master?"

Master Wu, who had just sat down to take a break, saw Secretary Lin and stood up from the bench.

"Secretary Lin! The chef in the main kitchen has something to do, so my master is going over to help. What do you want to do with the chef? I'll go call him."

Secretary Lin waved his hand and said, "No, no, you're all right here. I just wanted to ask if there are any lunch boxes in the kitchen. Director Li just went out for something and didn't finish his meal. I want to pack it up."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll get it for you."

Chef Wu opened the kitchen cabinet where spices were stored, took out two lunch boxes from the bottom, and asked, "Secretary Lin, are two enough?"

"That's enough. Thank you, Master Wu."

Master Wu touched his head and smiled innocently: "What's the big deal? I haven't thanked Master Zhang for writing the book list for me yet."

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of the box and asked casually, "Master Zhang, are you going back today? You won't stay in our factory for more than two days."

Secretary Lin nodded, but when no one was watching, there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"Hey, I wanted to ask Master Zhang two questions, but it seems like this is not a coincidence."

As Master Wu spoke, he moved closer to Secretary Lin and asked in a low voice, "Secretary Lin, can you help me ask if Master Zhang can leave me an address so that I can write to him if I have any questions in the future?"

"Okay, but I have to ask Director Li." Something flashed in Secretary Lin's eyes, and he used Director Li as a shield, as if nothing had happened.

"Yes, yes, yes, we have to ask Director Li. We have to ask Director Li." Master Wu seemed to have just come to his senses, scratching his head with an embarrassed look on his face.

Secretary Lin: "Then you continue to rest, I have something else to do."

"Okay, okay, Secretary Lin, go ahead and get busy."

Secretary Lin took the lunch box from the other party, packed the food, and temporarily placed it in the small kitchen, agreeing to pick it up after get off work.

After taking care of everything, he explained to Zhang Yu with a little embarrassment: "Director Li has always been frugal and reluctant to waste."

Zhang Yu expressed his understanding, saying that everyone who has lived through this era knows that it is not shameful to pack up meals at this time.

Zhang Yu followed Secretary Li's words and praised Director Li a few words.

Secretary Lin smiled happily when he heard this.

The two chatted for a few more minutes and then left the cafeteria together.

I originally thought that everything was fine, but when Secretary Lin asked the driver to prepare the car and take Zhang Yu back, I heard from other people that the driver went back for lunch and had not returned since.

Secretary Lin thought about the reason why Director Li went out and guessed that the driver was also trapped in the staff quarters.

"This..." Secretary Lin was a little upset. Director Li specifically told him to personally send Master Zhang back today, but this turned out to be a disaster...

"Does our factory have anyone who can drive? I remember that Deputy Director Liu is free today, so can you help me contact his driver and borrow his driver first? I won't make it difficult for you. I'll let Director Li and Deputy Director Liu talk when I get back."

The worker was silent for a moment, then replied, "He is also in the family compound. He said that Deputy Director Liu has nothing to do today, so he gave him a day off so that he can go back and spend time with his wife and children."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
