The G Committee acted very quickly. In less than three days, Uncle Hei was arrested. He was directly sentenced to death for crimes such as speculation, trafficking of cultural relics, and hiring murderers.
The news of Uncle Hei's arrest spread like wildfire for a while. Except for those who knew Uncle Hei, no one else reacted much. To them, Uncle Hei was just an unknown bad guy.
When Uncle Hei was caught, Lu Shi was the happiest person. He happily walked around the yard again and again and smoked several cigarettes in a row.
Zhang Weifang was also happy because the hidden danger had been solved and her points were not wasted.
Ling Dagang and Wu Youming also heard the news that Uncle Hei was arrested. As Uncle Hei's subordinates, the two of them had a lot of dirty things in their hands, so they became worried about their own situation for a while.
Wu Youming was quite honest. He felt that something was amiss, so he tried to ask:
"Dagang, do you think Uncle Hei's matter has anything to do with Seventeen?"
At this moment, Ling Dagang felt as if his brain was stuffed with a ball of paste and he was completely unable to think.
He knew very well how huge the power behind Uncle Hei was and how strong his background was, but such a person who could cover the sky with one hand was actually arrested without any warning.
Before this, there had not been even a hint of news. This was so unexpected that Ling Dagang could not accept this reality at all.
Without Uncle Hei, they became hooligans again and couldn't even guarantee their daily lives.
After hearing Wu Youming's question, Ling Dagang also felt that it was very likely. After all, only Lu Shiqi and Uncle Hei had conflicts recently. He just didn't know how Lu Shiqi did it.
However, no matter how he did it, Ling Dagang decided to stay away from Lu Shiqi. With his limited skills, he was no match for the other person.
Wu Huani's reaction was the most intense. She was unwilling to believe that Lu Shiqi had such ability. She had offended Lu Shiqi before, and she didn't know if he would retaliate against her. Should she apologize or run away?
Time soon entered the hottest time of the year - July. In this season, even the wind is wrapped in heat waves. Hu Zi likes to soak in the water every day, and his appetite has also decreased a lot.
Zhang Weifang waited for a long time, but never saw Jia Dabao's next move. Gradually, Zhang Weifang became bolder and would go shopping with Xiao Hu during her rest time.
But she never let Hu Zi go out. Zhang Weifang was always cautious with Hu Zi. Hu Zi was too young and she couldn't let him be in danger.
That day, Hu Zi was playing with Lu Shi in the yard when he heard a knock on the door. Hu Zi looked at Lu Shi and said:
"Uncle, there's someone."
"Don't move, uncle will open the door."
Lu Shi's arm has not healed yet, so for safety reasons, the door of his house is closed every day. Zhang Weifang is also used to climbing walls, so she doesn't find it inconvenient.
The sudden knock on the door made Lu Shi alert. He had no friends here, so no one should come to see him.
"Huzi, stay inside first. Don't make any noise and don't come out."
"I understand, uncle." Hu Zi went into the house obediently.
As soon as the door opened, Lu Shi saw the person at the door. He was dressed in rags, just like when he fled from famine before.
Lu Shi did not relax his vigilance. He glanced at the person who came:
"Who are you looking for?"
"Comrade, I'm from out of town. Can I have some water to drink?"
"No." Lu Shi said and closed the door again.
The man looked ragged, but his eyes were very lively. He opened the door and kept peeking into the yard. It was obvious at a glance that he was not a good person.
After Lu Shi closed the door, the man outside was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned into a look of pain and continued to walk into the alley. This time, he came to Aunt Feng's house again.
Aunt Feng didn't find anything wrong with the same rhetoric. She enthusiastically poured the man a bowl of water and talked to him for a long time.
The two people tested each other, and this man also got the information he wanted from Aunt Feng.
In the evening, after Zhang Weifang came back, Lu Shi told her what happened immediately.
"You mean someone is pretending to be a beggar to get information about me?"
"Yes, he came with bad intentions. Just look at his eyes darting around and you can tell he has bad intentions. Alas, it's all my fault that my arm failed to hold up at the critical moment. It really delayed things." Lu Shi said with concern while feeling secretly annoyed.
He knew very well that the other party was well prepared and he must not take it lightly. Although he was powerless at the moment, he still hoped that Zhang Weifang would be safe.
"It's okay, I will pay attention. You just need to help me take good care of Hu Zi." Zhang Weifang's heart was lifted again.
That night, Zhang Weifang was suddenly awakened by the system:
"Host, wake up, there's a fire."
Zhang Weifang suddenly woke up and saw the fire outside through the window. Zhang Weifang did not dare to be careless. She quickly called Hu Zi and the two of them went to the yard together.
The fire started at her front door. Zhang Weifang quickly took a bucket of water to put out the fire, and Hu Zi also took a basin and poured water on the fire.
The flames that shot up into the sky instantly illuminated the night like day, and also woke up the sleeping people.
The originally silent alley suddenly became noisy. People were frightened and panicked by the sudden fire, but they soon came to their senses and began to take action.
Some people quickly called the police, some shouted loudly to remind the surrounding residents to pay attention to safety, and some brave people did not hesitate to pick up buckets, basins and other tools and rushed into the fire, trying to control the spread of the fire as much as they could.
With everyone's concerted efforts, after a tense and fierce firefighting, the fire was finally gradually put out. At this moment, the whole alley was filled with thick smoke and burnt smell, making people feel suffocated and uncomfortable.
When the dust settled, Zhang Weifang came to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. She stared at everything in front of her with wide eyes - the once sturdy door of her house had now turned to ashes, leaving only ruins and a mess.
Zhang Weifang struggled to cheer himself up and said thank you to everyone.
At this time, the police also arrived. It was Officer Miao, whom Zhang Weifang was familiar with. Holding back her tears, she said to Officer Miao:
"Comrade police officer, I suspect someone set the fire today, and I have a suspect."
"Come back to the bureau and tell me the details."
Zhang Weifang brought Hu Zi to the Public Security Bureau again, and Lu Shi also accompanied them.
Lu Shi told about the beggar he had seen during the day, and Zhang Weifang added:
"Comrade police officer, I suspect it was Jia Dabao who hired this person. He's the only one I've ever offended."
