Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 682 Intricacies
"He should suffer a little."

Xu Damao really had no interest in what happened between Yao Lao and the Lin family.

I guess it’s been many years.

But this vengeful character, and the crime punishable by beheading, I don’t know if he said it on purpose or if it is just his nature.

"If it's aboveboard, why do you have to do it here? It would be better to have someone deliver it directly to your house."

"This is an attitude and a form. It's best here and everyone can rest assured."

"I didn't get this batch of medicinal materials by myself. I started out working with Yang Yanshao, and then Ye Fan joined in. In short, there are a lot of people involved. It's good here, and everyone feels at ease."

Xu Damao has no interest in these things at all now.

I finally got rid of the Black Dragon Pill, now it’s best not to touch it at all.

Xu Damao finished the tea in his cup and stood up: "Then you continue to wait here for a while, I have something else to do so I will leave first."

Just as he was about to leave, Lin Haojie stretched out a hand to stop him.

"Don't worry, meeting you here today is the best arrangement of God. I just thought of you and you appeared in front of me. This is the best proof."

Xu Damao:......

Oh no, this guy has bad intentions.

"It's just a pure coincidence."

"Let's not talk about coincidences or not, just sit down first."

Lin Haojie pulled Xu Damao and sat down again.

"It's not a big deal, actually. Didn't I just tell you that this herb is hard to get? You were able to do it before, so you must have a channel for it. Anyway, you can't use it, so how about you give me the channel? Money is not a problem, I can give you ten times the price."

Even if it was a hundred times, Xu Damao would not be short of money.

He had already made up his mind to withdraw from the Black Dragon Pill, and no matter who came to him, he would answer with two words: No.

The recipe for the elixir has been handed over, but these people still come looking for it again and again.

Not to mention the two times with Yao Lao, Lin Haojie has also started to target him. Before, he had never mentioned to Xu Damao that his family was able to produce Black Dragon Pills.

Now that I can’t get the medicinal materials, I come to you again.

Now Xu Damao even suspects that today's coincidental encounter is not a coincidence.

"If I had the channel you mentioned, I would have really given it to you. After all, who would want to go against money? The problem is that I don't have it. I only have that one batch of herbs, and later on, I gave all of them, including the recipe, to Yao Lao. Now I have nothing."

"That's not right. Why did Yang Yanshao and Ye Fan say that you were hiding a secret and eating alone?"

Xu Damao:......

"Then I don't know. I don't know myself, so how do they know? You should go ask them. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Lin Haojie did not give up and took out another bargaining chip: "You want to go to the East Suburbs Machine Repair Factory, right? If you want that machine repair factory to join the Forbidden City, I have a way."

Xu Damao never told anyone about this, even though he had met him three times and was introduced to the steel rolling mill. This must have been a special investigation, and there were quite a few people keeping an eye on him.

Today it doesn't seem like a coincidence at all.

But the question is, what does the fact that the machine repair factory was not incorporated into Sijiu City have to do with Xu Damao?
He didn't care at all. From the beginning to the end, the only person he cared about was Ding Qiunan.

The reason for cooperating with the machine repair factory was because Director Liu found Ding Qiunan and brought him to him.

"The machine repair factory now nominally belongs to Sijiu City. The leaders naturally have their own plans for when to merge into Sijiu City. Let's not make any trouble. Sooner or later, the machine repair factory will be completely included. It would be best if it can be merged in advance, but it doesn't matter if it can't be merged in advance, because it is already a done deal."

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

This was the third time he had resigned, and Lin Haojie couldn't stop him by force.

"Don't you want to stay and look at the herbs?" "I have something else to do. I had to ask for leave to go out today. Otherwise, I would have to stay at home and reflect on my mistakes. And I have to be back before dinner."

"Okay, then you drive slowly. If you have any herbs to sell, you can always find me. I'll be there whenever you call."

Xu Damao waved his hand and left the teahouse.

Lin Haojie looked at Xu Damao's back with a somewhat uncertain expression.

I don’t understand Xu Damao.

Close and distant.

When you hold it in your hand, you hold it tightly.

When the situation is not good, let go decisively, sacrifice the rook to save the king, and cut off the tail to survive.

And it was cut off so thoroughly that avoiding the Black Dragon Pill was like avoiding snakes and scorpions.

Lin Haojie really didn't believe that Xu Damao could really be so open-minded. He truly agreed with the "magic pill" he mentioned from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Damao followed the road out of Sijiu City and saw a car outside the city that was about to enter the city. There was a smell of medicinal herbs in the car.

Could it be that today is not a coincidence?

But these are no longer important.

Xu Damao just wanted to stay away from these things that could easily get him into trouble, so he went straight to Ding Qiunan's home according to the address he got.

For the time being, we can only take one step at a time and see what happens.

Even Lin Haojie knew that he had been close to the machine repair factory recently, so how could those people who were investigating not know?

Fortunately, he didn't violate any major disciplines. Lust is not a big problem for a person at his stage. Even if it gets out of hand, he will mainly be criticized and educated.

It's not enough to get fired. At most, you will be asked to take a break for a while and then be transferred to another position.

Following the address, we arrived at Ding Qiunan's home, which was a large courtyard, similar to a staff family compound. Most courtyards were like this during that period.

What I saw was that the door was locked and there was no one in sight.

This shouldn't be a case of moving away and running away, right?
We had a pretty good chat in the chicken farm office last time, so why is there no one here?

As an only child, with her parents still alive and a city hukou, she couldn't have gone to work in the fields.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?"

An old lady, wearing a red armband of the neighborhood committee and carrying a work bag for serving the people, came to Xu Damao.

This person was treated as a suspicious person. He came uninvited and did not say hello to anyone. He sneaked in. If Xu Damao's car had not been parked at the door, there would have been more than just one auntie coming, but at least three uncles.

"Hello, comrade. I didn't see anyone on duty when I came. I was in a hurry so I came in without registering. This is my work ID. I'm here to see Doctor Ding. Is this Doctor Ding's home?"

Xu Damao didn’t know what Ding Qiunan’s father was called, but he knew he was a doctor, so it was always right to call him doctor.

In short, it’s hard to say that I came to find Ding Qiunan.

"Are you here to see Doctor Ding? What is your relationship with him? A few days ago, a female comrade also came from Sijiucheng and also came to see Doctor Ding. But now Doctor Ding is in the hospital."

Xu Damao:......

What is the causal relationship here?
The female comrade from the Fourth City must be Li Tianjiao.

But why hospitalization?

"You can see that my work ID says my company is the 'Chinese Academy of Sciences'. I heard that Dr. Ding is very accomplished in medicine, so I came here to ask for advice."

The chicken farm office has nothing to do with it, so the work ID from the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine is more useful.
