Chapter 759 The person behind the scenes
When Xu Damao heard that the evidence had been almost collected, his anger immediately subsided a little. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to my house." After that, the two of them went to the courtyard together.
Now in the courtyard, Xu Damao's reputation has plummeted, and everyone sneers at him. But Xu Damao doesn't care about it. In his opinion, as long as he can achieve his goal, reputation is nothing.
After arriving at Xu Damao's house, Liu Hui took advantage of Xu Damao's time to check the evidence and deliberately lowered his voice and asked casually, "Mr. Xu, do you know Deputy Director Li of the steel mill?"
Xu Damao was concentrating on looking at the evidence. He couldn't help but smile when he heard Liu Hui's words. He looked up and said, "Of course I know! Back then, we were still good friends. Why are you asking about this all of a sudden? Did something happen to Deputy Director Li?"
Liu Hui smiled and did not directly answer Xu Damao's question, but continued: "Mr. Xu..."
Xu Damao waved his hand and said, "Don't call me Mr. Xu anymore. It sounds strange. You should just call me Brother Xu from now on. It sounds more intimate this way, right?"
Liu Hui nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Brother Xu. Brother Xu, don't you really know? Deputy Director Li is now almost the top boss in the steel mill, and he has a lot of power. If we can get Deputy Director Li's help in this matter, I believe it will be easier for us to succeed in dealing with Lou Bancheng. After all, I heard that Lou Bancheng is still the honorary director of the steel mill. We need to find more help."
After hearing what Liu Hui said, Xu Damao did not respond immediately, but he thought to himself: Liu Hui does have some truth in what he said. If we can get Deputy Director Li to join us, there will be strength in numbers. Are we still afraid that we can't deal with a small city like Louban? Thinking of this, Xu Damao couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
Xu Damao happily put away the things Liu Hui handed over, with a proud smile on his face. He patted Liu Hui on the shoulder and said, "This matter is indeed thanks to you. I remember your contribution in my heart. You can rest assured. I, Xu Damao, have always distinguished between gratitude and resentment, and I will never forget your kindness."
Seeing this, Liu Hui quickly took out a bottle of fine wine from his bag, put on a flattering smile, and said, "Brother Xu, our business is going so smoothly, how about we celebrate in advance? It can also be regarded as a good start for our next plan."
When Xu Damao heard this, he immediately became interested and said excitedly: "Great! That's exactly what I want. Let's drink as much as we want today and not go home until we are drunk!" He was in a very good mood at this time, as if he had already seen the bright future after his plan succeeded.
After a few drinks, Xu Damao's face gradually turned red, and his eyes began to blur. Liu Hui looked at Xu Damao's condition and felt that the time was right, so he asked tentatively: "Brother Xu, I see that you have done this so steadily, I should not be the only one backing you, right? Is there someone else helping you behind the scenes?" Liu Hui has always been curious about the power behind Xu Damao, and he wanted to take this opportunity to find out.
Xu Damao looked at Liu Hui with drunken eyes and said vaguely: "You...what you said is indeed right. Of course...of course someone helped me, otherwise...otherwise, how could I know so many inside stories..." Before he finished speaking, his head tilted and he fell asleep on the table.
Liu Hui looked at the sleeping Xu Damao and was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that there was someone behind Xu Damao. It seemed that Gu Nan's previous guess was correct. The water behind this was probably deeper than he imagined.
At the same time, He Yuzhu was rushing to the courtyard with the vegetables he had just bought. He had bought some good food today and was thinking about inviting Liu Guangtian to dinner. He knew that Liu Guangtian was a man who could not hide his secrets, and if he got him drunk later, he might be able to get a lot of useful information out of him.
Before He Yuzhu entered the courtyard, he saw Liu Guangtian strolling at the entrance of the alley, mumbling something. He Yuzhu was delighted and hurried over, smiling and asking, "Guangtian, what are you doing here?"
Liu Guangtian was so angry at this time that he had no place to vent his anger, and said unhappily: "What else can I do? I'm waiting for those two brats Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang! If I meet them, I will definitely give them a good beating!" Liu Guangtian was so angry that his teeth were itching when he thought of the previous conflicts with the Yan brothers.
He Yuzhu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Liu Guangtian to be so stubborn this time. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, why are you waiting here like an idiot? Let's go to my house first. Let's have a drink and calm down."
Liu Guangtian was not a simple-minded person. He looked at He Yuzhu vigilantly and asked, "He Yuzhu, it seems that we don't have any special relationship between us, right? Why do you suddenly want to help me?" Liu Guangtian began to wonder in his heart and was a little confused by He Yuzhu's sudden enthusiasm.
He Yuzhu still had a smile on his face and said, "What are you talking about! We are all neighbors living in the same courtyard, so we'll see each other every day. Besides, the old man has helped me a lot on weekdays, so I want to share the burden with you for his sake. Don't think too much about it."
Liu Guangtian was still a little hesitant and wanted to say something. He Yuzhu didn't wait for him to speak, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't waste time, come to my house for a drink, and then all the hatred and grudges can be wiped out." As he said that, he reached out and pulled Liu Guangtian to leave.
Liu Guangtian thought, it was a free meal anyway, so he followed He Yuzhu reluctantly, saying, "Brother Zhuzi, you are the most righteous person in this courtyard!"
He Yuzhu just smiled and didn't respond. He knew in his heart that some things couldn't be said yet, and he would need Lu Jia's help later to get the information he wanted from Liu Guangtian.
Liu Guangtian followed He Yuzhu to He Yuzhu's house with great expectations. As soon as he entered the door, He Yuzhu greeted him warmly. He specially bought a fragrant roast chicken today and prepared some golden fried peanuts. He thought that these delicacies were enough to entertain his friends, so there was no need to prepare other dishes. He smiled and said to Lu Jia who was in the house: "Lu Jia, this is Liu Guangtian, the second son of the old man in the backyard."
Lu Jia nodded slightly, her eyes fell on Liu Guangtian, and after taking a look, she said, "Well, he is indeed very handsome. However, I heard that he will be sent to the countryside soon, which is a bit of a pity."
