This Zhao Jianshe was really troubling— even if Director Han wanted to educate his younger brother properly, there was no need for him to try and pose as a boss.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door outside, “Third Brother, Third Brother~”
Hearing such a gentle voice, Luo Haicheng looked at Han Qingsong, almost as if he had verbally asked who it was.
As soon as Han Qingsong opened the door, Han Qingyun slipped in and closed the door, “Third brother, no good; Han Qinghua ran away!”
Han Qingsong pushed him aside and opened the door again, “Have they gone to find the Secretary Head?”
Han Qingyun wondered, “Third Brother, how did you know?”
Luo Haicheng smiled and said, “This is called predicting the enemy’s moves first. Young man, you should learn a little bit from the Director.”
Han Qingyun glanced at him and recognised him, “Hey, aren’t you…that one, uh…” However, he couldn’t place a name to this familiar face.
Luo Haicheng nodded, “I am that one.”
Han Qingyun scratched his head embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, my name is Han Qingyun.”
Luo Haicheng shook hands with him vigorously, “Luo Haicheng.”
Han Qingsong motioned for them to get out of the way before he closed the door of the yard, “Let’s go.”
The three of them went to the Brigade Headquarters.
Han Qingyun briefly explained that the Platoon Leader Zhang of the Shanshui Labour Farm had led some troops to arrest Han Qinghua who had escaped. They believed that Han Qingsong had helped his younger brother escape, so they came to ask about the crime. The Security Director was leading others to patrol the village, so when he heard the commotion, he sent them to the Brigade first. Afterwards, he invited Han Yongfang over as well, whereas Han Qingyun came here to find Han Qingsong.
Han Qingyun was a little nervous, “Third Brother, what’s going on? Is it serious?”
Han Qingsong, “It’s okay, let’s go.”
When they arrived at the Brigade Headquarters, Han Qingyun suddenly found that Luo Haicheng had disappeared as he asked in surprise, “Where is Luo Haicheng?”
Han Qingsong, “Let’s go.”
The Brigade Headquarters was generally a place used for meetings. It had a large courtyard, a circle of houses and an empty space in the middle of the property. Like the Production Teams, they also raised some livestock including pigs, cattle, sheep and mules, which belonged to the Brigade’s shared property.
Normally, there were only two custodians who were responsible for feeding the animals and looking after the yard, but tonight, it was brightly lit as some people carried lanterns while others held torches.
When the duo went in, they saw a total of ten people coming from the opposite party, each armed with live ammunition and seemingly aggressive.
The leader was Platoon Leader Zhang. With his gripping lightly on his guns and holsters attached to his belt on both sides, his hands were positioned on his hips. His thick eyebrows were glaring straight ahead with a dignified look. Unfortunately, his skin was too dark, which weakened his presence in the night.
However, to Han Qingyun, he appeared to seem like he was just taking the opportunity to bully someone else and show his position.
Han Yongfang was dealing with Platoon Leader Zhang, “Platoon Leader Zhang, we don’t have a clue what you said and Han Qinghua didn’t escape back to the village. If he dares to come here, we will take care of sending him back as soon as possible.”
Platoon Leader Zhang sneered, “Someone helped him escape and someone covered him up; how are you going to send him back?”
Han Qingyun said angrily, “What are you talking about? He was taken to the labour farm by Director Han himself, so why would we cover him?”
