Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 644 Showdown

night

"Brother Lai, what are you thinking about? Why are you frowning all the time?" Yu Shui asked.

"Yushui, I want to take you and the child to live in Hong Kong for a while. Are you willing?"

He Lai embraced Yu Shui, looked at her, and said what was buried in his heart.

"Ah? Going to Gangcheng? Why? If we go there, can we come back? Brother Lai, didn't you say that this is equivalent to treason?" Yu Shui was also shocked when he heard that they were going to Gangcheng.

"We can definitely come back after this movement is over. The country is in turmoil now, and I feel it's not safe for us to stay in Beijing," He said.

"What about mother and the others? I can't bear to leave them, and also my father and brother." Yu Shui lay on He Lai and said sadly.

"I plan to talk to my father and mother after some time. If they are willing to go, we can go together. If they are not willing, I can't do anything about it. I can only talk about it later."

He Lai said.

"Brother Lai, why do we have to go? Can't we just stay here?"

Rain said sadly.

“Yushui, you know a little about me. Although I have kept the fact that I opened a company in Hong Kong City a secret, I am not sure if anyone knows about it. Once someone knows about it, I am afraid that I will be in trouble.

Also, I used to sell wild boar meat frequently, and I’m afraid someone will dig it up and make a fuss about it, and I’m afraid that will implicate you.

In today's country, people can't stand seeing others get rich. If you make so much money, there will definitely be people who are jealous."

He Lai said truthfully.

"So, brother Lai, when do you plan to go over there?" Yu Shui asked.

"There's no rush for this. After a while, I'm going to go to the south to discuss this with Mr. Zhou and see if he can help me find an inconspicuous job in the south so that I can have a legitimate reason to leave the city."

He Lai told his plan.

"Brother Lai, I kind of miss leaving my brother and my father." Yu Shui said sadly.

"It's okay. When this movement is over, we'll come back, okay? I'm sorry for you."

He Lai comforted softly.

There was no way. He Lai actually didn't want to leave Sijiu City. After all, such a peaceful life was what he longed for. However, there were also many unstable factors here, and the cage of bondage would be broken sooner or later.

"No, my brother Lai is the best. It's this society that has become a little corrupt." Yu Shui said.

He Lai hugged Yu Shui's shoulders tightly, looking out the dark window, thinking more about his future life.

The next night, He Lai called He Zhan, Wu Juan, and He Daqing over, and let Yu Shui take the child to sleep in the next room.

"Xiao Laizi, what's wrong? Do you have something to say?"

When Wu Juan saw He Lai calling them over, she knew that He Lai must have something important to say.

He Daqing looked at He Lai meaningfully. After all, he knew that He Lai had been to Gangcheng, and he vaguely felt that He Lai wanted to talk about these things.

He Zhan still had a gloomy face. Their security department had been feeling quite frustrated during this period because the establishment of the workers' picket team had taken away most of the power of the security department. Now they were basically sidelined and just patrolled all day long.

"Well, Dad, Mom, and Father-in-law, I do have something important to tell you. Don't get excited when I tell you."

He looked at the expressions of the three people, nodded and said.

"Hurry up and tell me, hurry up and tell me, don't let me worry." Wu Juan said hurriedly.

"Xiao Laizi, go ahead and speak." He Zhan also nodded.

"Well... I don't know where to start, um... um..." He Lai really didn't know how to tell them for a moment.

"You little brat, do you want to run to Gangcheng?" He Daqing said with a smile.

"What? Gangcheng, what Gangcheng? Why are you going there!" Wu Juan stood up immediately.

"Uh... mom, don't get excited, just listen to me slowly." He Lai was very embarrassed, as everything was exposed by He Daqing's words.

"Okay, Juanzi, sit down first and listen to Xiaolaizi."

Although He Zhan was surprised, he still managed to remain rational and pulled Wu Juan to sit down.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Laizi, tell me what's going on!" Wu Juan asked worriedly.

"Well, Mom, I've actually been to Hong Kong City over the years, when I attended the Canton Fair, but I went there secretly, so not many people knew about it.

The situation in China is a bit complicated right now, and everything is in chaos. I’m worried that my affairs will be exposed.”

He Lai said.

"Why did you go to that kind of place, kid? You really make your mother worry. How dare you go to that kind of place? I...I..."

Wu Juan didn't know how to curse He Lai for a moment. If those who were in charge of the movement knew about this, they would definitely arrest He Lai.

He Lai was also very embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do. A colorful life was more in line with modern life, and he unconsciously leaned towards it.

"So what are you going to do now?" He Zhan looked at He Lai and asked.

"Dad, I want you to go to Guangcheng with me first. Then I can ask Mr. Zhou to arrange an inconspicuous job for us. The situation in the south is more relaxed than in the Forty-Nine City, and the inspections won't be so strict. Then I will find a way to send us out through the relationship with the foreign merchants in Gangcheng."

He Lai told his plan.

"How can you be sure that your Mr. Zhou will help you? This is an act of fleeing to Hong Kong," asked He Zhan.

"Dad, you don't know, there must be a lot of people fleeing to Gangcheng during this period, and I believe Grandpa Zhou will help me." He Lai was not sure, but at least Grandpa Zhou would not harm him.

Even without Mr. Zhou, he could still leave Sijiu City through connections. After all, Lou Bancheng left Sijiu City through secret connections! Naturally, he could do the same.

"Lao He, you knew about this? So you're going too?" He Zhan asked.

"Why should I go? My son and grandson are all around me, it's fine. I just know that Xiao Laizi has been to Hong Kong City."

He Daqing laughed. Are you kidding? Going to Hong Kong is not as good as staying in the old city!

"So, Xiao Laizi, you knew about Lou Bancheng's escape to Gangcheng, right?"

He Zhan asked. He quickly thought of what happened to Lou Bancheng.

"Well, I know a little bit, but I wasn't involved." He Lai nodded in admission.

"Well, then Dad won't say much. Just ask your mom. If she's willing to go, I'll go with you."

He Zhan sighed and expressed his thoughts. After all, he owed them too much, and if Wu Juan wanted to go, he would naturally be willing to give up his life here.

Wu Juan looked at He Zhan speechlessly. What did he mean by asking her? What did she, a woman, know!

But she naturally didn't want to be separated from He Lai. After all, he was her most promising son. If he went to Hong Kong City, she wouldn't know when they would meet again.

After all, she knew that it was impossible for those who went to Bay Island to come back.

"Mom, you and Dad can think about it for a while. It would be best if you could tell me in October. After all, I will be going to Guangcheng to discuss with Mr. Zhou how to arrange work at that time."

He Lai said.

"Xiao Laizi, do you have to leave?" Wu Juan asked He Lai.

"Mom, you don't have to leave. After all, Director Li Huaide and I have a pretty good personal relationship. He probably won't investigate our family, but I think our family can stay together."

He Lai said.

"Does Yu Shui know about this?"

"Yushui knows. I told her yesterday."

"Okay then, I'll go back and discuss it with your father, and we'll talk about it then."
