Chapter 1170
Before Closing the Net
Tian Ya didn't dare to go over. In fact, she really wanted to hear why Yi Zhonghai was waiting for that person and what the two of them were discussing.
But she didn't dare, she could only walk home step by step, and her steps were definitely heavy.
She watched Yi Zhonghai slide into the abyss. She wanted to give him a hand, but she didn't have the courage to stop him.
When she turned the corner of the intersection, she saw two people standing in the corner chatting.
In this kind of climate, neither too cold nor too hot, it is normal to meet an acquaintance on the road and chat with him or her.
But Tian Ya felt something was wrong. She subconsciously looked at the other person once more, but saw that both of them were staring at her blankly in the darkness.
The moment their eyes met, both parties changed direction at the same time.
There was silence, and the atmosphere seemed to become serious. Tian Ya vaguely felt that the two people seemed to have serious expressions.
Tian Ya's heart was trembling with fear. She quickly lowered her head and walked quickly past the two of them.
After Tian Ya walked away, the two people in the shadows breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
One of them said in a slightly immature voice: "Team Leader, that person who just passed by seems to have recognized us. Should we take her away first..."
Another older man said, "Don't scare yourself. Do you think it's those bald enemy agents? We didn't say anything just now.
Okay, go back and report. Just see that person entering Yi Zhonghai’s shop.
Don't say too much when you go back. There are so many people who are counting on this to gain some benefits.
If we accidentally tell others about this, and something unexpected happens, it will all be blamed on us."
"Hey, brother, I'll listen to you." The young man answered simply.
There is no need to guess the identities of these two people, they are Xu Damao's subordinates.
Today, three bicycles were stolen at about the same time in different places.
Xu Damao probably thought it was time to close the net.
In this regard, first of all, the person whose bicycle was stolen did not report it to the station, and secondly, all the leaders of the station were informed.
Otherwise, if three bicycles were lost at once, it would cause a huge commotion. It is not impossible to pick out all the scoundrels in the street and interrogate them one by one.
If an old hand with a little experience saw such calmness, he would find it abnormal and might run away overnight.
But gangsters are gangsters after all. They are just calculating how much money they can get from this success and how much money they can make their empty wallets full for a few days.
Some time ago, "Brother Tiger" reminded everyone to be careful, as several thieves who spent money lavishly had to live in debt.
This is also a strange thing. In the eyes of some low-level people, borrowing money and going into debt is actually more shameful than stealing.
Because only you know that you stole something.
And if he borrows money, especially a man with arms and legs, but borrows money from a neighbor whom he usually dislikes to buy rice, the neighbor may even publicize this matter in order to publicize his kindness and generosity...
This must be humiliating.
Over at the repair shop, the discussions were almost complete.
At first, "Brother Hu" told Yi Zhonghai to prepare a warehouse to store things, but that was just a bluff.
If Yi Zhonghai foolishly took over, those stolen cars would become a trouble for Yi Zhonghai.
Even if they cannot collect the money for the time being, the things are not in their hands. Even if something happens to Yi Zhonghai in the future, people like "Brother Hu" can pass the buck.
When it comes to pretending to be a tough guy, these little hooligans are quite experienced.
Anyway, once they were in jail, the less they confessed, the lighter the punishment would be. Of course, what "Brother Tiger" and his men didn't know was that Xu Damao's subordinates wanted to do something to show off their reputation this time. So they had already figured out the photos of the car being pushed away after the theft, where they hid the car, and the various channels for selling the stolen goods.
We just have to wait until they deliver the stolen goods to the last channel, and then we can close the game.
Anyway, this time, it is estimated that no one in the small group of "Brother Tiger", including Yi Zhonghai and other people who sell stolen goods, will be able to escape.
After some bargaining, Yi Zhonghai finally agreed to let "Brother Tiger" bring two bicycle wheels over tomorrow to test the waters.
In fact, the moment Brother Hu appeared, all of Yi Zhonghai’s previous worries disappeared.
This does not mean that Yi Zhonghai is insensitive, but he believes that even if some comrades in the village have targeted these people who stole things, they should be thinking about catching the thieves and seizing the stolen goods, and should pay the most attention to these thieves.
He would not let several thieves go and wait for him to sell the stolen goods.
But this time Yi Zhonghai was really wrong. He didn't expect that it was Xu Damao who arranged this.
The last time Xu Damao dealt with Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai went to Xu Fugui to beg for mercy.
To outsiders, this matter seemed like Xu Damao was magnanimous and did not argue with Yi Zhonghai.
But Xu Damao's subordinates understood the situation. They knew that Xu Damao had been "kidnapped" by Yi Zhonghai using their friendship.
They had encountered this kind of thing before when they were causing trouble for the neighborhood.
Many people talk about their past relationships with their parents or themselves. Of course, sometimes as long as the benefits are sufficient, they will let the other person off based on the relationship they mentioned.
But the last incident between Xu Damao and Yi Zhonghai was definitely not that.
When several of his men asked Xu Damao about that matter, they did not receive a favorable response.
Regardless of whether these people want to replace Xu Damao, everyone can do the basic work of presenting the occasion.
When the boss feels aggrieved, the younger brothers must help him vent his anger.
Therefore, these talents must trap Yi Zhonghai into their net before they are willing to close the net.
Yi Zhonghai didn't think so deeply about it. After seeing "Brother Hu" and knowing that everything was safe, his mood returned to his usual calm.
He turned off the lights, locked the door, leaned on his crutch, hummed a little tune, and limped home.
He must be happy. If he meets the right customer, he can earn at least ten yuan from the two bicycle wheels.
How could he not be happy about such a double happiness?
Yi Zhonghai returned to the yard and looked at the light coming through the crack in the door of his house, and he couldn't help feeling a little warm in his heart.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai had completely forgotten his indifference and disregard for Tian Ya and her daughter during this period.
There is a term in later generations called "domestic cold violence".
It was obvious that Yi Zhonghai didn't understand that word.
For him, as long as he didn't beat Tian Ya or cut Cao'er, provided them with enough food and water, and provided them with a house to live in, that would prove that he treated Tian Ya and her daughter well.
In this day and age, Yi Zhonghai's idea is not wrong.
But the warmth or coldness of people’s hearts is actually the same in any year.
No matter who you are, you want the warmth that your partner gives you.
It’s just that the social atmosphere makes it difficult to say certain things so openly.
Just like Tian Ya at this moment, no matter how aggrieved she felt, when she saw Yi Zhonghai coming back, she could only step forward to brush off the dust for Yi Zhonghai and express her concern with words. (End of this chapter)
