Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 496

"Pillar's back!"

"Come quick, there are fake police officers here."

He Yuzhu clasped his hands in greeting to those around him and said, "Thank you all, folks. I'll treat you to dinner at the tavern tonight."

"You're too kind, Zhu Zi."

“It’s all what should be done.”

The crowd made way for He Yuzhu and his group, and they saw Zhao Yuezhen in front, followed by Xu Huizhen and Xu Huizhi blocking two unfamiliar police officers. Further inside were Xu Zhaodi and Xu Xiaomei.

Xu Huizhen and the other two were all beaming with joy as they chattered excitedly in front of He Yuzhu.

The matter was simple. Not long after He Yuzhu left, these two police officers came and knocked on the Xu family's door.

They claimed that Xu Zhaodi had broken the law and needed to be taken back to the police station for questioning.

He Yuzhu had previously instructed that even if they were from the police station, they should not listen to them or go with them.

Moreover, neither of them were from the local police station, and although they were wearing police uniforms, they looked like complete strangers.

Xu Zhaodi started shouting, which alerted Zhao Yuezhen, who came out to check and blocked the two police officers from leaving.

The two police officers immediately drew their guns, but Zhao Yuezhen also pointed her gun at them.

Then Xu Huizhen blew her whistle, and all the neighbors who heard the whistle came out to gather around. Faced with so many people, the two of them, who were not originally officers from the police station near Qianmen, had no choice but to put away their guns.

However, Zhao Yuezhen and the others definitely wouldn't agree to take Xu Zhaodi away, so the two sides remained deadlocked.

After listening, He Yuzhu said, "Alright, now leave everything to me."

Two police officers in white uniforms, one tall and one short, were heard saying, "..."

"Comrade He Yuzhu, you are also a leader. Don't try to mobilize the masses here. Let us take the prisoners away quickly."

He Yuzhu asked, "A criminal? I'd like to ask you, what crime did Xu Zhaodi commit?"

"The case is currently under investigation, and we cannot disclose anything to you at this time," the short policeman said, forcing a smile.

"Okay, since you're in the investigation stage, I won't ask that. I just want to know which police station you belong to?"

"This..." The short policeman was speechless.

He Yuzhu asked, "Where are your work IDs?"

The two men, one tall and one short, glanced at each other and hesitated for a long time before finally deciding not to take out their work IDs.

The original documents have been submitted to the district branch office, and the new documents are being produced.

I was assigned to take Xu Zhaodi to the police station as soon as I started work today. How could I possibly produce a work ID?

He Yuzhu said, "What, you don't have work IDs? Doesn't that mean you two are fake police officers?"

“Of course we are real police officers,” the tall police officer retorted.

"Heh, I find that strange. You keep calling yourselves police officers, but you can't produce any work identification. Do you have a letter of introduction? Do you have an arrest warrant?"

The two shook their heads. They hadn't considered this kind of situation when they left in the morning, and hadn't even taken out their identification.

"It turns out they really were imposters."

He Yuzhu waved his hand, and Zhang Guangming, the head of the security department, led his men forward and handcuffed the two men.

"He Yuzhu, we are real police officers." The two men immediately became furious.

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Hehe, if you can't produce any identification, of course it's fake."

Even if they are real police officers, so what?

Since they couldn't produce any identification, it was fake. Although the two resisted, they had no choice but to be handcuffed and stuffed into the jeep by the security officers.

He Yuzhu told Zhao Yali that the neighbors' drinks that night would be on his tab. Zhao Yali asked:

"But this costs a lot of money, doesn't it? Shouldn't we limit the quantity?"

"It's alright, there's no need to restrict it, it's all in the right place."

This time, even though the people who came to help didn't do anything for them, if He Yuzhu doesn't show any appreciation, then next time something happens, these people won't come out even if they're all at home.

He Yuzhu didn't care about the money; as long as his family was safe, that was enough.

On the way back, Zhang Guangming drove and said, "Director He, safety here is a problem."

He Yuzhu said, "Yes, but I'm used to living here. I don't want to move, and I can't move."

As soon as Zhang Guangming opened his mouth, He Yuzhu knew that the other party wanted to persuade him to move.

It's just that it's not easy to move here. Moving back to the courtyard house is definitely impossible. There are too many people and too many eyes there. Xu Huizhen, Xu Huizhi, and Zhao Yuezhen, three women and three children, plus Xu Huizhen is now pregnant, living in the courtyard house would make life very inconvenient in the future.

If we go to the villa, the security will definitely be much better. It's in the basement, and Du Weixiang is still being held there.

There wasn't a better place to put her in the short term, and restoring the basement to its original state was also quite troublesome.

Zhang Guangming asked, "Do you have any vacant houses around here? How about we set up a security post here and arrange for a few security personnel to be on duty?"

He Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat; this was indeed a good idea.

Arrange for Zhao Yuezhen to come over; she'll be alone at home, allowing her to provide close protection for Xu Huizhen and the others.

Originally, he wouldn't have had any problems on his own, but now that the security situation is gradually deteriorating, it's becoming increasingly difficult for her to protect him by herself alone.

If a security checkpoint were set up here with four or five officers taking turns on duty, the safety would be greatly increased.

The security personnel now are not the security guards of the future; they are all armed and have both long and short guns.

Not only that, the machinery factory also established a militia battalion. The higher-level leaders sent a large number of weapons. Although there were no anti-aircraft guns, there were all kinds of light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and submachine guns.

There are also target practice missions every month, and there is an ample supply of bullets.

He Yuzhu said, "There happens to be an empty house next to the tavern, which can be used as a duty room."

However, the house still belongs to the street, so I have to coordinate with them myself.

Two jeeps soon arrived at the machinery factory. He Yuzhu returned to his office, where the telephone on his desk rang again.

He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, then called Lü Xiaomi over and said, "You answer this call. If it's Director Jiang, just say I'm not here."

Lü Xiaomi nodded and picked up the phone on the table:

"Hello...Director Jiang...I'm sorry, Factory Director He is not here right now, he hasn't returned yet."

Chapter 351 Invite Bai Ling

He Yuzhu was standing right next to the phone, and he could hear Director Jiang's voice, which sounded visibly angry.

Lu Xiaomi put down the phone and said, "It's Director Jiang. He said he wants you to release those three police officers."

Then Lü Xiaomi asked, "Didn't they only catch two today? How come you say there are three?"

He Yuzhu said, "I caught someone who was following me last night."

He simply explained the situation in one sentence.

"Oh, no wonder. Two police officers came today, wanting to take Xu Zhaodi away."

He Yuzhu said, "Go to Qianmen Street today and ask about the building next to the tavern. Our factory can rent or buy it. After it's settled, have Zhang Guangming arrange for someone to go there. It will be a duty room for our factory's security department from now on."

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

Lü Xiaomi then asked, "What about these two police officers? Since they can't reach you by phone, they might already be on their way."

"It's alright, I'll go first. If Director Jiang comes over, just say I went to the research institute. With his rank, he can't cause trouble inside the research institute."

Although Director Jiang, the war insect, is He Yuzhu's current superior, he is only a deputy director in the street.

The research institute is a research center directly under the ministry, while Jiang Hanyang was nothing in the past.

He Yuzhu definitely doesn't want to meet with Director Jiang right now, so he can only avoid him for the time being.

"Then where are you going?"

"Don't worry, there are plenty of places."

He Yuzhu came out of the office and asked Zhang Guangming to lead a group of people, including the two police officers who had just been arrested. The group got into two ambulances and left the machinery factory.

A large number of houses were relocated from the streets in one go, and some schools, guesthouses and other ancillary facilities were built.

There were also many courtyard houses there, but He Yuzhu kept some of them and didn't allocate them.

They soon arrived at an uninhabited courtyard, where Zhang Guangming personally locked the two men inside and began interrogating them separately.

He Yuzhu waited in the courtyard for a while. After Zhang Guangming came out, he said, "Both of them have confessed. They are new police officers who were just transferred to the police station today. They have all the paperwork, but their identification documents haven't been processed yet. What should we do?"

"Thank you for your hard work. Leave this to me. Get them into the jeep."

As He Yuzhu expected, the interrogation revealed that, including the person from last night, they were all police officers. Since the matter had already been made public, He Yuzhu certainly couldn't do anything to them.

However, He Yuzhu also thought of a solution, feeling that handing the person over to Meng Tingfei yesterday was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

We have now come up with a better solution.

Zhang Guangming put the two policemen into the jeep, handcuffed them to the seats, and then He Yuzhu told Zhang Guangming and the others to leave.

As soon as He Yuzhu got into the jeep, he heard one of them say, "Director He, this is all a misunderstanding. You've taken us to the police station, so let's just let this matter go. We'll apologize to you later."

"Yes, Director He, this is all a misunderstanding. We'll be working at the police station from now on, so please let us go."
