Chapter 264 Asking Deputy Director Li for Help
Xu Damao was standing leisurely in front of the office building smoking a cigarette when suddenly a figure like the wind passed by him. He looked closely and found that it was He Yushui.
He quickly chased after her, stretched out his hand to grab He Yushui, frowned, and his face was full of concern and anxiety: "Yushui, what's wrong with you? Why are you running so fast? What happened?"
He Yushui was extremely anxious, and she only wanted to find Deputy Director Li as soon as possible to find out about her brother's situation. When Xu Damao pulled her like this, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
She quickly steadied herself and shook off Xu Damao's hand, her tone filled with obvious impatience and anxiety: "Brother Damao, don't stop me, I have something urgent to do and need to go see Deputy Director Li!"
Xu Damao looked at He Yushui's anxious expression and put away the cynical look on his face. His eyes flickered and his tone became serious: "Yushui, don't worry. Tell me, what happened? I might be able to help."
He Yushui looked at Xu Damao's serious eyes, and her anxiety was slightly relieved. She took a deep breath and said concisely: "My brother has been arrested. I have to go to Deputy Director Li to find out the situation."
When Xu Damao heard this, his expression became serious. He knew He Yuzhu's character and personality, and knew that he would never do anything illegal.
He was confused, but seeing He Yushui's anxious look, he didn't care and said quickly, "Yushui, don't worry. I know where Deputy Director Li's office is. I'll take you there."
As he said that, he dragged He Yushui towards the office building in the steel mill. Although He Yushui was anxious, he also knew that he needed to deal with things calmly, so he followed Xu Damao and walked quickly.
The two of them jogged along the way, with beads of sweat on Xu Damao's forehead, and He Yushui was also panting and anxious. They walked through the long corridor and finally arrived at the door of Deputy Director Li's office.
Xu Damao stopped, took a deep breath, calmed his rapid breathing, then raised his hand and knocked on the door hard, "dong dong dong".
Deputy Director Li was sitting at his desk, humming a little tune and enjoying his rare leisure time. When he heard the sudden knock on the door, the smile on his face froze, his brows slightly furrowed, he gently put down the teacup in his hand, then straightened his expression and said seriously, "Come in."
Xu Damao heard the sound coming from inside, grabbed He Yushui who was still gasping for breath, opened the door and walked in. The two of them hurried into the office, breaking the original tranquility of Deputy Director Li.
Deputy Director Li looked up and saw Xu Damao and He Yushui, with a hint of doubt on his face. He didn't know He Yushui, but he was familiar with Xu Damao.
He looked at the two people who were in a bit of a mess, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "Deputy Director Xu, what's wrong with you? Is there something that you are looking for me so urgently?"
Xu Damao didn't have time to answer Deputy Director Li's question. He eagerly pulled He Yushui to Deputy Director Li and said directly:
"Deputy Director Li, Director He is in trouble and has been arrested. Please save him!" There was obvious anxiety and pleading in his tone.
He Yushui also added anxiously: "Yes, Deputy Director Li, my brother is usually very honest and would never do anything illegal. It must be a misunderstanding. You must help us!"
There was a hint of trembling and pleading in her voice, her hands were clasped together, and her eyes were full of expectation and worry.
When Deputy Director Li heard that He Yuzhu had an accident, a look of surprise appeared on his face, his brows furrowed, and he quickly asked: "What happened? Director He had dinner with us yesterday evening, how could something happen?" There was a hint of anxiety and confusion in his tone.
Xu Damao was standing aside. When he heard that He Yuzhu was having dinner with his leader, a flash of jealousy crossed his mind, but it was quickly replaced by worry.
He said worriedly: "Director He was caught by the security department last night. I don't know the details."
When Deputy Factory Director Li heard that he was caught by the Security Department, his expression became even more serious. He picked up the phone and quickly dialed the number. After the call was connected, he said in a deep voice, "Is this Director Song? I'm Deputy Factory Director Li. Has Director He from the canteen been arrested by you?"
Song Baoguo's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yes, our colleagues here found that Director He brought half a chicken home last night and detained him on the spot."
When Deputy Director Li heard about this incident, the tension in his heart instantly dissipated, as if a huge rock pressing on his chest had been removed.
He exhaled lightly, his tone was somewhat relaxed and relieved, and he explained: "This is a misunderstanding. This chicken is Director He's reward for cooking. This was agreed before, and Director Yang also knows it."
After hearing Deputy Director Li's explanation, He Yushui's worries were slightly relieved. Her tense nerves relaxed a little, and a hint of anticipation appeared in her eyes.
However, Song Baoguo's voice came from the other end of the phone. He followed Director Yang's instructions and said, "Deputy Director Li, we asked Director Yang for instructions. He said he didn't know about this matter, and the factory didn't have a clear rule for giving this kind of reward."
When Deputy Director Li heard this, he frowned and the relaxed expression on his face disappeared instantly. He asked in a deep voice, "Did Director Yang really say that?"
"Yes, Director Yang said that he didn't know about this matter, and he believed that this kind of private reward behavior was not in line with the factory's regulations." Song Baoguo's voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
Deputy Director Li's face darkened and he hung up the phone angrily. He looked at Xu Damao and He Yushui: "Director Xu, this is..."
Xu Damao saw the change in Deputy Director Li's expression and understood the situation. He quickly introduced, "Deputy Director Li, this is He Yushui, Director He's sister."
Deputy Director Li nodded, took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said to He Yushui:
"He Yushui, go back with Deputy Director Xu first. I already know about Director He's situation. Although it's a bit tricky, I will find a way. Don't worry, I promise that your brother will be fine."
When He Yushui heard what Deputy Director Li said, although she was still worried, she looked at him gratefully, her eyes slightly red, and her voice choked with sobs: "Thank you, Deputy Director Li, thank you!" After that, she bowed deeply.
Afterwards, He Yushui and Xu Damao walked out of the office together. She knew that they could only wait for news from Deputy Director Li.
Xu Damao also followed her silently. Although he felt a little complicated, his worry for He Yuzhu was beyond words.
