Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Chapter 793 Confiscating the house

Deputy Director Li showed a smug smile on his face and nodded slightly, saying, "Okay, the people will be here soon."

Xu Damao was curious and couldn't help asking, "Who is it?"

Deputy Director Li looked out the window, a hint of greed in his eyes. He said slowly, "Have you forgotten that Lou Bancheng's family has hidden away a lot of valuables? I'm currently at the steel mill, and I don't have many of my own people to use. I can only seek help from those sent by higher-ups. When the time comes, we'll move all of Lou Bancheng's valuables away. As for how much needs to be handed over to the higher-ups later, that's up to us."

Xu Damao was no fool. He immediately understood what Deputy Director Li meant. A flattering smile appeared on his face as he agreed, "Yes, Deputy Director Li, this is a brilliant idea. We'll make a fortune then."

After a while, the office door was pushed open, and a burly, middle-aged man with a powerful look walked in. He had a serious expression and said in a calm tone, "The higher-ups sent us here."

Deputy Director Li looked up and was overjoyed. He hadn't expected his superiors to attach so much importance to him that they even sent this person. He quickly stood up, greeted him enthusiastically, and asked, "Okay, how many people are here this time?"

"There are fifteen people in total." The middle-aged man answered concisely and clearly, like a piece of wood. He would answer whatever was asked, and would not seem to speak unless asked.

Deputy Director Li thought to himself, with these fifteen people, even if Lou Bancheng had some bodyguards at home, what could they do? We could just rush in and capture them all. With this thought, he said confidently, "Okay, let's go." Then, led by Xu Damao, the group marched in a mighty procession towards Lou Bancheng's home.

However, they never anticipated that Director Yang had been closely monitoring Deputy Director Li's every move. Upon learning of Deputy Director Li's plan, Director Yang was secretly delighted and immediately ordered all security personnel to gather and arranged for someone to call the police. After all, while Lou Bancheng's family was indeed the Lou family, Lou Bancheng had donated his belongings to the steel mill, and from then on, they were considered the mill's assets. If Deputy Director Li dared to bring his men in without permission, Director Yang would have every reason to arrest him.

Director Yang showed a smug smile on his face. He turned to look at Secretary Lin and said, "Secretary Lin, go call Gu Nan over and tell him I have something important to tell him."

Although Secretary Lin was full of doubts and didn't know what the factory director was up to, seeing that Director Yang was so happy, he nodded and said, "Okay, Director." After that, he turned around and went out to call Gu Nan.

After receiving the notice, Gu Nan was also puzzled, not knowing what had happened, but he followed Secretary Lin to Director Yang's office. As soon as he entered, he smiled and asked, "Director, what's the good news? You look so happy?"

Director Yang smiled and said mysteriously, "Of course it's a good thing. Secretary Lin, please leave first."

After Secretary Lin left, Director Yang looked at Gu Nan and said in a low voice, "Of course, the plan we planned earlier has begun to be implemented. Now, it's time for us to go over and laugh at Deputy Director Li."

Director Yang hated Deputy Director Li to the core. Ever since Deputy Director Li returned, he had been trying, both overtly and covertly, to seize Director Yang's position within the mill. Although Director Yang was furious, he hadn't had the opportunity to deal with Deputy Director Li because his patrons were currently in power.

However, things were different now. This incident could be used to teach Deputy Director Li a lesson. Even if he couldn't completely overthrow him, at least he could severely curb his arrogance.

Gu Nan knew that if he participated in this operation, his superiors would seize the opportunity to suppress Deputy Director Li's superiors, a crucial issue in the power dynamic. Initially, Gu Nan had little interest in the matter and was reluctant to wade into this muddy water. However, he reconsidered this opportunity to strike hard at someone who was down. After all, knowing Xu Damao well, he knew he would definitely go after Lou Xiao'e, which would provide a very interesting excuse.

Thinking of this, Gu Nan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and said, "Okay, Director. But I'm a little worried. I wonder if you'll bring enough people this time? Don't let it happen that you can't catch anyone and end up making a fool of yourself."

Director Yang smiled confidently, patted Gu Nan on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry! This time, I'm bringing with me the best from the factory security department. They're all very skilled and experienced. When the time comes, we'll definitely be able to catch all those people and expose their true colors. Just wait and see the show and see them make a fool of themselves."

Gu Nan nodded and asked, "Okay, in that case, should we set off now, or should we wait a while before taking action? I have to arrange my time in advance so as not to delay other things at the factory."

Director Yang was about to respond when there was a gentle knock on the office door.

Secretary Lin pushed the door open and walked hurriedly to Director Yang. He said respectfully, "Director, the security department is ready. They asked me to ask you if we should leave now."

Director Yang's eyes flashed with excitement and determination, and a confident smile appeared on his face again. He said, "Okay, let's get going now! Don't waste a moment. After all, we have important things to do soon. We have to make a quick decision and catch them off guard."

After that, Director Yang turned to Gu Nan and motioned him to set off together. Then, Director Yang and Gu Nan, along with the security team, set off on their journey in high spirits.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Deputy Director Li, along with Xu Damao and a group of unknown individuals, stormed towards Lou Bancheng's home. When they arrived, the large mansion seemed remarkably deserted. The Lou family was no longer what it once was. Most of their valuables had been sold or taken away by Lou Bancheng. Even the house itself was now owned by the steel mill.

The only person left in the house was a nanny, quietly tidying up. The reason she stayed was because the steel mill had assigned her to clean the house until the end of the month, and she couldn't leave until her duties were complete. She was dressed simply and looked slightly tired as she meticulously wiped the furniture, oblivious to the impending disaster.
