Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 247: Informing Li Renyi of Zhou Shiya's death

After a while, the father and son arrived at Li Renyi's house. As soon as they entered the door, Xiao Liu came to greet them, "Chief, you are finally back."

"Well, Xiao Liu, thank you for helping me take care of the children during this period of time. I hope I, Mr. Liu, have done you any harm!" Li Renyi asked.

"Chief, what are you talking about! This is what I should do. It's difficult for Mr. Liu to help me. Besides, Mr. Liu can't control me in the future. I will follow the anti-Japanese war in the future." Xiao Liu said.

"What? You're working with the Anti-Japanese?" Li Renyi asked in surprise, "What?"

"I went to their factory to work as a security guard during the Anti-Japanese War. It's really boring working here." Xiao Liu said.

"Go to the factory? You are a good soldier, why don't you go to the factory?" Li Renyi said, "Why don't you change someone? Otherwise, I will talk to Lao Ma and you can follow him in the future."

"Old Li, don't poach my people. Xiao Liu is my man now. Besides, Old Ma probably won't do it anymore." Li Kangri said with a smile.

Hearing that Lao Ma was quitting, Li Renyi was shocked again, "Lao Ma is quitting?"

"Well, I mentioned it yesterday, and I think he won't do it," said Li Kangri.

"Oh! It was so good... Tell me, why did it become like this?" Li Renyi said helplessly.

"Old Li, don't think about these things anymore. I tell you, you are not the only one who will be unlucky. Even your boss will be unlucky. Sit down first. I have something very important to tell you." Li Kangri said.

After listening to Li Kangri's words, Li Renyi walked to the sofa and sat down, then said, "Xiao Liu, do you have any boiled water? If you have, make a cup of water for Lao Li first."

"Yes, I'll go soak it right away."

After Xiao Liu left, Li Kangri said seriously, "Old Li, I have something very important to tell you, but you have to promise me not to get excited, okay?"

Seeing Li Kangri's serious expression, Li Renyi felt that this matter was not trivial, so he hurriedly asked, "Did your grandpa or grandma have an accident? Did they know that something happened to me? Take me to see it quickly."

"Old Li, grandpa and grandma are fine. They are doing well. Although they are really worried about you, they are no longer worried when I tell them that I can get you out." Li Kangri explained.

"Are those children?"

"No," Li Kangri shook his head, "The children are fine, they are all at my house! They are taken care of by their grandparents."

"What's the big deal?" Li Renyi asked, "Is it your Aunt Zhou? Nothing will happen to her, right? At most, she will just go there for a walk, what else?"

"Ah!" Li Kangri sighed, "Old Li, some things are just fate, so sometimes we have to accept it, don't you think?"

Seeing Li Kangri sighing, Li Renyi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, "Kangri, tell me what happened to you? I'm so worried."

"Old Li, I say yes, but you have to promise me to stay calm. We can talk slowly about anything, okay?" Li Kangri said.

"I promise, I promise you, just tell me quickly." Li Renyi said anxiously.

"Okay," Li Kangri said slowly, "I don't know the specific situation yet. Today, the unit of the reinforcements' mother notified your unit that she committed suicide by hitting the wall. She was sent to the emergency room but died after failed rescue efforts."

After saying this, Li Kangri stared at Li Renyi, fearing that he would suddenly attack.

Hearing Li Kangri's words, Li Renyi's scalp instantly went numb, and his mind was empty, as if it had been emptied out. After a long time, he asked, "Is he dead? Did he commit suicide by hitting his head against the wall? Are you sure?"

Looking at the pale Li Renyi, Li Kangri said, "Old Li, calm down. I don't know the specific situation yet. I will ask someone to investigate it later. But no one dares to joke about this kind of thing. If they say he is dead, then he must be dead. They told us to take him home as soon as possible for burial."

"Why? Why did she want to commit suicide by hitting her head against the wall?" Li Renyi yelled. At this time, he clenched his fists, veins bulged on his forehead, and it seemed like he might explode at any time.

"Hey! People said that he used his death to resist the investigation and to discredit the organization, but I don't think it's either of them. It's likely that he couldn't stand the torture, or he committed suicide for some other reason." Li Kangri guessed.

"It must be that Zou Shiliang who forced her to commit suicide. He had bad intentions towards Shiya back then, and he must have known that I was arrested, so she must have been forced to commit suicide." Li Renyi shouted, "No, I want to avenge Shiya, I must avenge her, otherwise I will be unworthy of being a man."

After saying that, Li Renyi suddenly ran upstairs, shouting as he ran, "Damn Zou Shiliang, I'm going to kill him, and that bastard surnamed Liu as well."

Seeing Li Renyi suddenly jump up, Li Kangri hurriedly chased after him, and Xiao Liu followed closely.

After running into room L, Li Renyi opened the drawer and took out an exquisite Browning pistol, then put it in his pocket and was about to go out.

"Old Li, calm down. You are also a leader. Why are you so excited when something happens? You are just a brave man. You can kill people, but what will you do after that?" Li Kangri stopped him and said.

"I'll pay them with my life. If I kill one, I'll break even. If I kill two, I'll make a profit." Li Renyi said with red eyes.

"Old Li, how can you be so irresponsible? What will happen to the children if you die? They already have no mother. Do you want them to be without a father? Or do you want to abandon the children like you did back then?" Li Kangri said angrily.

Hearing Li Kangri's words, Li Renyi shouted, "Kangri, I owe you this. I'll leave your brothers and sisters to you. I'll pay you back in my next life."

"Bullshit, you haven't paid me back yet? You want to owe me again? I don't want you to owe me anything anymore. I don't even know where you'll be in my next life! Calm down, let's discuss everything slowly. Besides, is it necessarily as you guessed?" Li Kangri said.

"Of course, I'm sure that Zou Shiliang is a beast." Li Renyi shouted.

"Oh, yes, that's right. You can't risk your life! There are many ways to kill a person. Do you think it's worth it to exchange your life for a dog's life?" Li Kangri said.

"Resist the Japanese, I, ah ah ah ah..." Li Renyi burst into tears.

After a long time, Li Renyi said, "Let's not talk about the anti-Japanese war anymore. Let's go collect Shiya's body and bury her first."

"Yes, that's what I thought. Let's bury her first. Also, the reinforcements are still young, so I think it's better not to tell them about this for the time being." Li Kangri said.

"You're right." Li Renyi said.

"Then let's go now, and take Xiao Liu with you. I'll accompany you for a few days, but I'm afraid the funeral cannot be held. It's not allowed now." Li Kangri said.
