Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

"I'll let you go, of course. I won't break the law. But your reporting to the police station is probably in jeopardy."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Director He, we are all on-duty police officers, you can't act recklessly."

"hehe."

He Yuzhu was too lazy to waste words with them, so he started the jeep and drove off.

The road clearly didn't lead to the local police station or the machinery factory, which immediately made the two of them nervous.

"Director He, this is all a misunderstanding. Please let us go."

"Director He, you want to kill us to silence us, but you can't escape. So many people know that you took us away."

"It's not a matter of killing you to cover it up, don't worry, I won't take your lives."

When He Yuzhu found a phone booth, he made a call to Meng Tingfei.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, I was just looking for you."

"Thank you for your help, Section Chief Meng. Please leave that person to me."

"Okay, you can come and pick up the person anytime."

After speaking with Meng Tingfei on the phone, He Yuzhu then called Bai Ling.

"Captain Bai, hello!"

"Ah, it's Comrade He Yuzhu, hello, hello," Bai Ling said somewhat guiltily.

He Yuzhu said, "I wonder if Captain Bai has time today? I'd like to invite you to lunch?"

Bai Ling quickly replied, "If you have time, I'll treat you."

"Okay, thank you."

He Yuzhu didn't stand on ceremony and agreed immediately.

After hanging up the phone and paying the phone bill, he returned to start the car, first arriving outside the city. He found the address Meng Tingfei had given him, and after stating his name at the gate, he was naturally not allowed to enter.

The gatekeeper made a phone call, and soon after, Meng Tingfei came to pick him up in person.

He Yuzhu was then able to enter the courtyard.

First, they toured the area, and then they went to Meng Tingfei's office.

After drinking the tea, He Yuzhu asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"There is something that concerns you. We received information that people in Southeast Asia discovered the two people who went missing last time and wanted to go into the mainland to search for them, but the people they sent were intercepted by us."

Last time, He Yuzhu put Du Guanghe and his granddaughter into his spatial storage, lying that they had escaped.

He Yuzhu didn't give it much thought at the time, assuming the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, the other party sent people to look for them, but they were caught by the secret service.

He Yuzhu was in an awkward position, but he couldn't directly admit that he had imprisoned the two men.

Otherwise, he simply couldn't explain how he managed to bring the two of them from Guangzhou to Beijing without anyone noticing.

All I can say is, "The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't hold back. I injured the old man, and the girl was also shot. They are probably still hiding there receiving treatment."

Meng Tingfei agreed with He Yuzhu's words, nodding and saying, "It should be as you said, and there is even a risk that the two of them will be seriously injured or die."

Meng Tingfei didn't really know He Yuzhu's combat strength, and since it was all based on He Yuzhu's description, he could only guess at the extent of their injuries.

After all, He Yuzhu only brought back Chairman Lou, Lou Xiao'e, and the foreign businessman; the two attackers were nowhere to be seen.

We can only treat it as if they have already escaped.

The two talked for a while. This matter didn't have much to do with He Yuzhu. Meng Tingfei was just informing him about it.

It was almost noon, and Meng Tingfei tried to persuade him to stay, offering to treat him to a working lunch, but He Yuzhu declined.

After leaving the office, Meng Tingfei arranged for someone to bring over the criminal suspect from yesterday.

When they arrived outside the courtyard, Meng Tingfei saw the two people in the back seat, handcuffed and leaning against the car seat.

The two asked for help, but before they could even open their mouths, Meng Tingfei said, "I'm from the Security Bureau. You want to come here?"

The two quickly shook their heads. It was already troublesome enough that the joke had fallen into He Yuzhu's hands, but the main problem was that once he entered the Security Bureau, who knew when he would get out? It would be a long time coming.

After waiting for two minutes, the people who had been detained yesterday were finally brought over and handcuffed together.

He Yuzhu left the city and headed to the Municipal Bureau, arriving at the bureau's premises soon after.

The three people in the car broke out in a cold sweat as soon as they saw the familiar sign.

"Director He, we can discuss anything. What do you want with us by bringing us to the Municipal Bureau?"

"Yes, Director He, let's discuss this matter again."

"Aren't you all police officers? I've brought you here today to verify your identities. Come down, three police officers."

After much deliberation, He Yuzhu realized that the best solution was certainly not to physically eliminate the three of them.

It's impossible to put it back directly, but we can't leave it at all either.

After much deliberation, He Yuzhu decided that the best solution was not to send it to the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, but to hand it over to Bai Ling.

Bai Ling is from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Dealing with these three ordinary police officers who are doing private work is a piece of cake for her.

He called Bai Ling from the gate, and a moment later Bai Ling ran over: "Why are you here so early?"

"I have important business to report to you!"

"Report a crime?" Bai Ling had assumed that He Yuzhu had come a little early to invite her to dinner, but she didn't expect there was something more important to discuss.

Normally, when you report a crime, you go to the local police station. The municipal police bureau usually doesn't accept ordinary cases; they are handled by the local police station.

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "We arrested three officers who are suspected to be police officers."

"Really?"

Whether it's true or not, we'll have to wait for you to verify.

He Yuzhu led Bai Ling to the jeep and saw three people in the back seat. The three of them looked very unhappy.

Bai Ling nodded: "He doesn't seem like a police officer to me!"

In front of the machinery factory's office building, Jiang Hanyang jumped off the jeep before it had even come to a complete stop, and then walked upstairs with a dark expression.

Although Lü Xiaomi was prepared, she was still taken aback. Looking at the menacing Jiang Hanyang, she stood up and said, "Hello, Director Jiang!"

Jiang Hanyang's expression softened when he saw that it was Secretary Lü's daughter.

"It's you, Comrade He Yuzhu."

"He's been gone the whole time, did he go out?"

"Where did you go?"

"I went to the research institute."

"graduate School?"

Upon hearing that He Yuzhu had gone to the research institute, Jiang Hanyang knew that the other party was avoiding him.

Although both of them were section-level cadres, I happened to be able to supervise He Yuzhu in terms of my position.

He might have some ability in the local community, but if he went to a research institute, his identity would mean nothing.

If you really go over there and cause trouble, getting beaten up is the least you can do.

Jiang Hanyang took a deep breath to calm his agitated mood and asked, "Lü Xiaomi, where are those three police officers being held?"

Lü Xiaomi said, "He was taken away by Factory Director He!"

"what!"

In the city bureau's office, Bai Ling made tea for He Yuzhu and placed it in front of him, asking, "What's going on here? You arrested three police officers? You didn't need to send them to our city bureau, did you?"

"Here's the thing, a deputy director has come to our neighborhood committee..."

He Yuzhu briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, and then focused on what happened last night and this morning.

"Oh, I see. These three police officers have at least violated regulations and have serious problems."

He Yuzhu said, "I'll leave this to you."

"You're too kind. We're all friends. Besides, those three violated the law and regulations first, so it's what we should do."

After Bai Ling understood the situation, she asked for some details. The two talked for a while, and then Bai Ling said, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go and explain things to you."

He Yuzhu said, "Please do as you please, I'll just read the newspaper for a while."

Bai Ling left the office, and He Yuzhu picked up the newspaper and started reading.

More than twenty minutes later, Bai Ling returned. By then, she had taken off her police uniform and changed into civilian clothes.

Bai Ling changed into a pink sweater with a women's blazer over it, and her hair was styled in a bun, which made her look much more capable.

"You've been waiting a long time, haven't you? Let me treat you to dinner."

"No, please, it's my treat. Thank you for your help today," He Yuzhu said with a smile.

The two left the office, and Bai Ling got into He Yuzhu's jeep.
