Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 307 Liu Liang Case

Could it be that this time there was really a misunderstanding?
Looking at Liu Liang who was still turning out his pockets in front of him, He Yuanchao couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

The stolen goods were hidden in the factory warehouse. If the stolen goods could not be found on Liu Liang, the things he hid in the factory would mean nothing.

Liu Liang even had many excuses to clear himself.

While He Yuanchao was thinking in his mind, his eyes were always on Liu Liang, silently watching his expression change.

"Deputy Director He, please don't be silent. Can I leave now? As the leader of the Security Department, please give me a straight answer. I just got off work and there are still a lot of things waiting for me at home!"

Being stared at expressionlessly by He Yuanchao, Liu Liang felt a little panicked, but he maintained a firm expression.

The color is sharp and the heart is full!

Hearing the relaxation in Liu Liang's words, these four words involuntarily emerged in He Yuanchao's mind, and then he decided to investigate further.

"Liu Liang, you are also a cadre trained by the organization. You know the organization's policies well, even if I don't tell you. Think about it carefully. It would be a bit disgraceful if I really had to take action."

As soon as He Yuanchao finished speaking, before Liu Liang could say anything, someone in the crowd took over the conversation.

"Director He, if you have any evidence, please show it quickly. What's the point of just talking?"

"That's right. If you have evidence, arrest them. If you don't have evidence, just let them go. Why are you grinding your teeth here?"

"Yes, don't waste time and deal with it quickly, everyone is waiting!"

"Don't be so embarrassed, just apologize and get it over with."

……

Listening to the chattering of the crowd, Li Jiefang was anxious and angry. He turned around and glared at the crowd, saying, "Shut up, you are hindering the security department's investigation. I will arrest you all soon."

"Oh! You are so capable! You are right to arrest the wrong person. If you have the ability, arrest me right now."

The workers in this era are not people who are easy to mess with. As soon as Li Jiefang said this, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Immediately, someone in the crowd shouted in dissatisfaction.

"You may not be a high-ranking official, but you have a bad temper. If you were a real man, you would arrest all of them right now."

"Don't just talk, come on, catch me!"

……

Two fists cannot beat four hands, a good tiger cannot fight a pack of wolves. Facing the people's verbal and written criticism, Li Jiefang could only give up, turn around with a humiliated look, and try to ignore it.

If I say a few more words, someone with a bad temper might come out and "enforce justice".

It’s not that Li Jiefang is a coward, but in this era, no cadre dares to conflict with the masses for no reason.

At this moment, the people are "full of martial virtues", and the slogan of being the masters of their own destiny is not just a slogan.

Ignoring the angry Li Jiefang, He Yuanchao said to the silent Liu Liang: "Since you don't cooperate, don't blame me for not being polite."

As he spoke, He Yuanchao reached out and grabbed Liu Liang's shoulder, intending to take him into the security room to check the valley.

There was nothing on his body, so He Yuanchao had to suspect that Liu Liang had stuffed the bag of steel chips into his body.

He Yuanchao's sudden move startled Liu Liang, who struggled to break free from his control, his face slightly pale as he said:

"Deputy Director He, what do you mean? Are you going to take action in broad daylight?"

"How can you talk like that? I'm just taking you to the security room for a routine check." Seeing Liu Liang's frightened look, He Yuanchao didn't think about himself. He just thought that he was hiding something and felt guilty. He consciously slowed down his tone and said soothingly:

"Don't worry, our security department has discipline. As long as you haven't violated factory rules and regulations, we won't attack you for no reason."

Liu Liang had seen the scene of the Security Department trying cases before. He did not believe He Yuanchao's words at all. He was afraid that he would be taken into the house and tortured, so he shouted at the top of his voice:
"I've checked it several times, are you guys done yet..."

"Just go in if you're told to. Why are you wasting time talking?"

Before Liu Liang could finish his words, Li Jiefang, who was furious, took two steps forward and grabbed his arm.

"I'm innocent. Why should I go into the house with you? If you have anything to say, please tell it in front of everyone."

As he spoke, Liu Liang tried hard to break free from Li Jiefang's hand.

When the onlookers saw that the Security Department was being unreasonable, their sense of justice immediately took over and they began to criticize them.

"If you have something to say, talk about it outside. Don't try to cover it up secretly."

"If you want to search, you should search in front of all of us. What if you put someone in the house and frame him?"

"Yes, search him in person."

……

Liu Liang struggled to get free for a long time and became anxious. He couldn't help cursing the onlookers in his heart, "Stop talking nonsense and come on..."

Liu Liang was so anxious and angry that Li Jiefang accidentally stepped on his foot and he sat down on the ground with a "pop".

Hahaha……

Seeing Liu Liang fall with one bare foot, someone in the crowd who had just been so aggressive in upholding justice couldn't help laughing out loud, and then more and more people followed suit.

Taking advantage of the moment when the crowd's emotions were stable, He Yuanchao wanted to get Liu Liang into the house as soon as possible, so he pretended to be unhappy and scolded Li Jiefang:
"Li Jiefang, what are you doing? How did you knock Liu Liang down? Why are you standing there like an idiot? Why don't you help him into the house and see if he's hurt?"

As he spoke, He Yuanchao bent down to pick up Liu Liang's shoe that had been stepped on.

Seeing He Yuanchao's actions, Liu Liang, who was originally sitting on the ground holding his waist and moaning, no longer cared about playing the victim. He suddenly fell to the ground, grabbing his shoes tightly with both hands.

When he stood up and saw He Yuanchao staring at him inquiringly, Liu Liang also felt something was wrong and quickly said:

"These are new leather shoes! They cost me more than half a month's salary. If I break them, you, Li Jiefang, have to pay me for it."

As if to prove how much he cared about the shoes, Liu Liang wiped the shoe surface with his sleeve to check for any damage.

It is indeed not easy to buy a pair of leather shoes these days, and Liu Liang's reaction is understandable, but He Yuanchao feels something is wrong no matter how he looks at it.

Seeing that Liu Liang put on his shoes and stood up without any abnormality, He Yuanchao couldn't help shaking his head and muttered in his heart, "Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Just as he was about to step forward and forcibly take Liu Liang into the security room, He Yuanchao suddenly remembered a video he had seen in his previous life.

The situation is similar to the current one. When the workshop director of a military unit was leaving get off work with special steel shavings in his shoe heels, he was discovered and exposed by an experienced security guard...

Thinking of this, He Yuanchao stopped and subconsciously looked at the leather shoes Liu Liang was wearing.

Although Li Jiefang was a bit reckless, he had good foresight. Seeing the strange expression on He Yuanchao's face, he said without thinking:

"What's wrong, Director?"
