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

Chapter 782 Arresting people

Tong Ren was fully aware of the danger and complexity of this operation, so he carefully selected several skilled and trustworthy men. He first spread out a detailed topographic map of the courtyard on the table, and several people gathered around him. Tong Ren pointed at the map and arranged the tasks in detail: "Let's surround the entire courtyard first to ensure that there is no room for error, and then go directly to the backyard to arrest people. Remember, the action must be swift and covert, and we must not alert the enemy."

The men looked at Tong Ren. Although they were confused and didn't understand why the director wanted to arrest a seemingly ordinary old man, they also knew that there must be a major secret hidden in this. Since the director had given the order, they had no choice but to carry it out resolutely.

Tong Ren looked at them seriously and said, "You must be clear about who you want to catch. This person has a special identity and is extremely dangerous. You must not take it lightly. This operation must succeed, not fail!" His men nodded one after another, their eyes revealing firm determination.

Tong Ren's men all looked at him with puzzled expressions. One of the younger ones couldn't help but ask, "Director, do we really need to mobilize so many people just to arrest an old lady? Isn't this a bit of an overreaction?"

Tong Ren's face darkened, he looked at them seriously and said, "Okay, stop asking. The identity of this old lady is not simple, you all listen to me, if she dares to resist, don't hold back, do you understand?" The determination revealed in his eyes made his men dare not question any more.

Although the subordinates still didn't quite understand the reason, the habit of obedience they had developed over the years made them follow their superiors' orders without hesitation.

Tong Ren led a group of people to the gate of the courtyard. He looked around calmly and said, "Okay, everyone, follow the plan we arranged before and don't make any mistakes." Everyone took the order and quickly dispersed, like well-trained hunters, quietly sneaking into every corner of the courtyard. Tong Ren personally led four or five people and walked straight to the backyard.

In the courtyard, there were a few neighbors who loved to watch the excitement. When they saw so many people from the Public Security Bureau suddenly barging in, they were shocked. They looked at each other with fear in their eyes, knowing that it was better to stay out of such occasions, so they went back to their homes honestly and quietly, and did not forget to close the door and secretly observe the movements outside through the crack of the door.

At this time, the deaf old lady was planning to go out for a walk. In her plan, He Yuzhu should be with Lou Xiaoe. But now, He Yuzhu is with a woman named Lu Jia, which makes her really angry. But she has some important things to do in her heart, so she can only swallow this anger first.

Just as the deaf old lady stepped out of the door, she saw a group of people from the Public Security Bureau walking towards her. However, she did not take it seriously, after all, she was very confident in her disguise and believed that it would not be easily seen through.

The deaf old lady had some impression of Director Tong of the Public Security Bureau. So, she pretended to be calm, with a seemingly kind smile on her face, and walked towards Tong Ren and asked, "I wonder what Director Tong has come to this courtyard for today?"

Tong Ren looked around and found that some neighbors were secretly watching, so he smiled and responded: "Old lady, I came to visit you today. I wonder if I can go to your house to take a look and chat with you?"

When the deaf old lady heard this, she thought it was just like before, that they were coming to give her some kind of subsidy or something like that. This kind of thing happened a lot before. She agreed without even thinking about it: "Okay, Director Tong, you are too polite. Please come in." After that, she led Tong Ren and his group to her home.

When they got to the house, the deaf old lady was about to pour water for everyone out of politeness. Seeing this, Tong Ren waved his hand and said with a smile: "Old lady, you don't have to bother. We just come to talk to you. You just take a rest."

The deaf old lady smiled and was about to sit down. At this moment, Tong Ren suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to his subordinates and said, "Put the things you brought in the kitchen."

When the deaf old lady heard this, she stood up subconsciously and said, "I can do it myself. How can I trouble you?"

Who knew that Tong Ren reacted very quickly and stopped the deaf old lady in an instant, still with that seemingly friendly smile on his face, and said: "Old lady, these are just some daily necessities such as rice and flour, they are not heavy, just ask them to go. How is your health recently?"

Seeing Tong Ren's persistence, the deaf old lady didn't think much about it and sat down. She looked at Tong Ren and said, "Director Tong, I'm doing fine recently, thanks to the country for taking good care of us old people."

However, the deaf old lady didn't know that Tong Ren's so-called "visit" actually had an unknown purpose behind it, and she had unknowingly stepped into a carefully arranged trap... The atmosphere in the house seemed harmonious, but in fact, undercurrents were surging...

Tong Ren had a gentle smile on his face and said casually, "Yes, these are what we should do. You know, if it wasn't for... Oh, forget it, I won't say it anymore." Tong Ren said while observing the reaction of the deaf old lady seemingly inadvertently. He knew in his heart that he came here today to uncover the mystery behind the identity of the deaf old lady.

When the deaf old lady heard what Tong Ren said, her heart tightened. On the surface, she pretended to be uncomfortable, but her expression was a little exaggerated, more like acting. Tong Ren was so smart that he could see her abnormality at a glance, and he became more certain of his guess.

Tong Ren continued to chat with the deaf old lady. It seemed like a casual conversation, but in fact, it was full of mysteries. The deaf old lady gradually felt that something was wrong. In the past, when encountering such a situation, the other party would have stood up and left long ago, but today Tong Ren just sat there leisurely, with no intention of leaving at all.

Moreover, she noticed that the people she had arranged in the kitchen seemed to have stayed there for a long time. She felt uneasy and finally couldn't help looking at Tong Ren and said, "Director Tong, I am sorry for my poor hospitality. I will cook for you now. You have come all the way here, you must be hungry."

Tong Ren still had a smile on his face, waved his hand and said, "Don't bother me, old lady. We'll be leaving soon, so don't bother me any more."

The deaf old lady felt more and more uneasy, she could no longer sit still and stood up suddenly, because she knew that there was a big secret hidden in the kitchen, if it was discovered, it would be the end of everything.

Tong Ren was quick to respond. He smiled and reached out to hold the deaf old lady's shoulder. He asked in a friendly manner, "Old lady, what are you going to do? You are in such a hurry."
