Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 255 Li Huaide's Suspicion

"Old Li, you are right. We don't know what happened. That's it. Let's celebrate tonight. I'll treat you. Let's go to Hongbinlou. I haven't eaten your daughter's cooking for a long time." Political Commissar Ma said with a smile.

"You can just treat us, but it can't be too much. It would be bad if it tires my daughter out. Hahaha." Li Renyi laughed.

"You are still a good father. Stop pretending. I know your background very well now. Otherwise, why would I call you Lao Li if you were not fighting against the Japanese? Sometimes I even call you Chen Shimei." Political Commissar Ma said sarcastically.

"Don't talk nonsense. Bring more wine tonight. I want to drink it well."

……

On the other side, at the steel mill, at noon, Li Kangri was eating the meal prepared by Sha Zhu in his office. Li Huaide ran in hurriedly, "Brother, are you eating?"

"Yes! Have you eaten? If not, ask Zhuzi to get you some." Li Kangri said.

"I've eaten early. I came to you in a hurry because I have something important to tell you." Li Huaide said.

Hearing Li Huaide's words, Li Kangri immediately understood his intention, so he smiled and said, "What's the matter? Why didn't you tell me yesterday? We haven't been apart for less than 24 hours, what big thing could have happened?"

"Brother, it happened last night. You asked me to find out about Director Zou who disappeared. He disappeared for no apparent reason. This couldn't have anything to do with you, right? If you hadn't been drinking with me last night, I would have really thought it was you who did it." Li Huaide said, and then he stared at Li Kangri closely, trying to see something from his expression.

In his heart, he believed that it was Li Kangri who did it, because the motive was too obvious, the only thing missing was the timing. However, Li Huaide thought that maybe Li Kangri hired someone else, or maybe Li Renyi hired someone else.

Seeing Li Huaide looking at him like that, Li Kangri laughed and said, "Brother Li, why are you looking at me like that? You don't suspect that it was me, do you? I drank with you all night last night."

Looking at Li Kangri's calm expression, Li Huaide wondered, "Brother, this matter really has nothing to do with you?"

"No," Li Kangri replied firmly.

"But this is too much of a coincidence! The person I just told you about the information you got is gone. I really don't believe you when you say it wasn't you who did it, but... hey! I can't explain it clearly, anyway, I feel that this matter must be related to you, so I came to find you early in the morning." Li Huaide asked doubtfully.

"Haha, you're overthinking it. I'm not Monkey King who can clone myself. You must be overthinking it," Li Kangri said with a smile.

"I hope I'm overthinking it," Li Huaide said in disbelief, "but I still think it has something to do with you. My father-in-law just called me and said that the Liu who persecuted your old Li couldn't be found today. The army was anxious and looking for him everywhere. That's why I thought it was you and rushed over to find you."

"This is such a coincidence. If I were you, I would also be suspicious." Li Kangri said with a smile.

"Is it you?" Li Huaide asked back.

"No."

"Hey! If you don't tell me, I won't ask. Anyway, it doesn't matter if it's you or not, as long as nothing happens to you," Li Huaide said, "I asked you the truth because I'm afraid something might happen to you. You have to know that this is not a trivial matter. I don't know if other people will take care of it, but the people from GWW will definitely take care of it. This is too exaggerated. The heads of two major units disappeared at once. GWW will definitely think this is a provocation to them."

Hearing Li Huaide's words, Li Kangri was a little moved. Although Li Huaide was a bit lecherous, he was lucky to be his brother, especially because he was willing to listen to him. So Li Kangri said, "Haha, thank you for your concern, brother Li. It doesn't matter if I did it or not, but the body cannot be found. It's not good for you to know, right? They can't bother me when they can't even find a body, right?"

After hearing what Li Kangri said, Li Huaide understood, so he said, "You are right. Without evidence, and even without a trace of the body, it is really difficult for them to deal with it. As long as there is no evidence, just protect your people's congress."

"Haha, I don't know about that. It wasn't me who did it. I hope God protect that guy and nothing happens to him. I think he is a hero, right, Brother Li? Hahaha..." Li Kangri laughed.

"Okay, I've been led astray by you. Let's forget it. But the hero you mentioned is quite a scoundrel. It is said that he was taken away by someone named Zou when he was doing his business. He was not even wearing pants." Li Huaide said with a smile.

"It's true that he is a grandson of a grandson, but he is not necessarily dead. After all, no one has seen him alive or dead. Maybe the two of them agreed to defect to the country together, and then designed such a fake trick. What do you think, Brother Li?" Li Kangri said with a smile.

Hearing Li Kangri's words, Li Huaide smiled and said, "I think your idea is good. We should give them some advice to think in this direction. If it involves treason, I don't think they dare to make a big fuss. Brother Li, you are smart and can think of this."

"Am I smart, Brother Li? I think everyone can think of it, hahaha..."

"Brother, I don't know if you have any problems here, but someone from your family, Mr. Li, must be investigating, so I think you should talk to him properly. You can ask him to tell you what you just said." Li Huaide suggested.

"Thank you Brother Li for the reminder. I will go talk to Old Li about it." Li Kangri said gratefully.

"Okay, I've asked all the questions I need to ask. I'll be busy now. Feel free to come and see me if you have any questions," said Li Huaide.

"Okay, let's have dinner together some other day. This time I'll treat you, Brother Li. I'll prepare some nourishing food for you."

"Hehe, brother still understands me. Goodbye."

After saying that, Li Huaide turned around and left the office. After coming out, Li Huaide was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He felt that he didn't understand Li Kangri at all, and felt that he was like a bottomless abyss.
