Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Chapter 567: The Old Man with a Beautiful Girl in a Golden House

Lu Jianming is already over 50 years old this year. His wife is also old and is from the countryside. He has looked down upon his wife more and more in recent years. However, because of his status and position, he dare not abandon his wife and marry a young and beautiful concubine.

So he used his power and money to find a beautiful woman in her twenties. He used both kindness and force to win her over and made her his lover. He then secretly used the identity of a relative to get an inconspicuous small courtyard house and arranged for his lover to live there, thus creating a beautiful house for him.

He kept this secret from his wife and children, and only his most trusted guards and secretaries knew about the existence of this courtyard and this lover.

He had leverage over these confidants and had done them favors, so naturally they were completely loyal to Lu Jianming and concealed the fact that he had a mistress and a concubine.

Lu Jianming was in a bad mood these past two days. Although he framed Aunt Zhang and had her arrested, after three days of torture, Aunt Zhang refused to surrender and would rather die than admit her guilt no matter what. She also refused to turn against him and frame Lao Liu, which made him very angry. However, he did not dare to really kill or cripple Zhang Shufen, so he could only continue to torture her mentally and physically.

He knew that he didn't have much time left. Old Liu was not a pushover either. He was also a person with connections. If he was pushed into a corner, he could bypass his superiors and report directly to the top leader. If someone came from above to investigate, he might not be able to cover up the fact that he had framed Zhang Shufen. Not only would he not be able to bring down Old Liu, he might also be held accountable and be persecuted all the way or even arrested.

So Lu Mingjian is also very anxious now. When a person is anxious, he wants to vent. So he has not gone home for the past two days, using the excuse of being busy with work and having to work overtime at the Revolutionary Committee. But at night, he comes to this small courtyard where he hides his mistress and vents his anger on his little lover.

After Lin Geng learned that it was Lu Mingjian who wanted to get rid of Lao Liu and personally planned and framed Aunt Zhang and had her arrested, he has been keeping an eye on the Revolutionary Committee today. When it got dark, he spotted Lu Mingjian coming out and driving to this courtyard.

After Lin Geng took note of this courtyard, he left quietly, hid in his small world and prepared some things for Aunt Zhang. He first went to see Aunt Zhang's condition, and then went straight to the place where Lu Mingjian hid his beauty.

Since Lu Mingjian wanted to harm the person closest to him, and who was also an upright old revolutionary comrade, no matter what this person had done in the past, he was now standing against the country and the people. More importantly, he was standing against him and was his enemy.

Ever since he killed a dozen thugs hired by Liu Haizhong to kill him in one go last time, Lin Geng no longer has any psychological barriers to killing a few bad guys. Killing one is killing, so he doesn't care about killing a few more. What's more, the first time he killed someone, he killed a dozen in one go, so he doesn't care about killing a few more bad guys.

The biggest difference between Lu Mingjian and those thugs is that he is in a high position and has great power. But for Lin Geng, there is actually not much difference.

When Lin Geng rushed to the courtyard where Lu Mingjian kept his beautiful mistress, he observed the situation around him from outside the courtyard. It was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night. In the city, except for a few people who went to work or some citizens who went to the Pigeon Market to buy food and daily necessities, everyone else had already fallen asleep.

Regardless of whether there is wind or not, people still have to sleep. Maybe some people affected can’t sleep, but life must go on after all, and most people still have to sleep.

So the surroundings were very quiet, with only the occasional barking of stray dogs in the distance. Everyone in the courtyard, including the young man, had fallen asleep.

Lin listened more carefully to the sounds in the yard. He mobilized all his hearing and listened carefully to the movements in this small courtyard with two entrances. Finally, he determined that there should be only four people in the yard, two of them sleeping in the left and right side rooms of the front yard, and two of them sleeping in the main room of the second courtyard. At this time, the four people's breathing was very even, and no other movements were heard.

The two people living in the front yard should be Lu Mingjian's driver and Lu Mingjian's bodyguard. This guy is also a senior official, probably at the vice-ministerial or department level, so it is not excessive for him to have a bodyguard with him.

Moreover, now that he has become the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee, he has been bullying people every day and has offended quite a few people, whose identities are not simple. He is also afraid of being ambushed when he goes out, so he always brings a personal bodyguard with him wherever he goes to protect him.

Of course, when he came to the courtyard to have a tryst with his lover, he would bring his most trusted guards to protect his safety, but he would not let them follow him to the second courtyard. Otherwise, wouldn't it be equivalent to letting his guards watch him and his lover doing it?

Lin Geng could tell from the breathing of the two people in the front yard that the two drivers and the guard seemed to be martial artists. Their breaths were long, powerful and steady. Only martial artists who practiced martial arts for many years could develop such breath, so it should not be underestimated.

But this is not surprising. Anyone who can be chosen by Lu Mingjian to be a personal bodyguard and driver must be very skilled. They must protect his life when necessary. Just like Ma Biao who has been following Lao Liu, he is also a bodyguard with very good skills. Ordinary people will definitely not get the upper hand if they encounter them.

But unfortunately, Lin Geng is no longer an ordinary person. His body is basically beyond the scope of human beings. Even though Lu Mingjian's driver and guard are martial artists, Lin Geng is not afraid of them at all.

Lin Geng stood outside the yard and thought carefully. Suddenly, an idea came to him. It was very simple to kill a person. He just needed to put Lu Mingjian into the small world, and then he could slaughter him at will.

But Lin felt that doing so would be too easy for Lu Mingjian. A man like him had worked hard all his life, and had been scheming for so long, and now he had finally climbed to his current position. Killing him would be too easy for him. On the contrary, letting him live and taking away all his current honors, status and health would be what made him most uncomfortable.

After realizing this, the corners of Lin Geng's mouth curled up into a dangerous arc, looking quite ferocious, so Lin Geng turned over and quietly climbed into the yard.

The driver and guard in the front yard did not lock the door. This might be so that they could hear Lu Mingjian calling them and get up in time, and it would also be convenient for them to protect Lu Mingjian.
