Chapter 358 Don’t blame me for being unjust if you are unkind.
At this point, Xu Damao revealed everything and sold out Li Huaide and Qin Huairu completely.

It was bad luck for Li Huaide and Qin Huairu to have such a bad teammate as Xu Damao. Before their secret plan was exposed, Liu Zhiye had seen through it, and all their schemes were shattered in an instant.

"You are such a good fellow, Li Huaide. I thought we would not interfere with each other, so I would tolerate you for once. I didn't expect you to go so far and even think of murdering me."

"Since you were unkind first, don't blame me for being unjust later."

Liu Zhiye was burning with rage, and he sneered at those who misunderstood his kindness as weakness. Did they really think he was easy to bully?
Liu Zhiye believed that he had done his best for Li Huaide. Li Huaide seemed to have forgotten that his position as deputy factory director was actually due to Liu Zhiye's humility.

If Liu had not had other ambitions and resolutely refused the promotion within the factory, how could Li Huaide have had this opportunity? Li Huaide knew all this.

Furthermore, Liu Zhiye was known for his generosity and generosity in his actions. Looking back on the past, Li Huaide benefited a lot from him, and the many favors he received were too numerous to mention.

However, Li Huaide was like a forgetful fish. He completely forgot Liu Zhiye's kindness. Once the situation changed, he turned against him without mercy. It was really sad.

Liu Zhiye was filled with hatred for this, and he secretly vowed to fight back against Li Huaide, vowing to completely defeat this cunning man and make sure he would never be able to make a comeback.

Although Li Huaide is the deputy factory director, he has not yet fully grasped the power. This is a good time to take action against him.

Compared with the steady Liu Zhiye, Li Huaide seems to be full of loopholes, each of which could become a fatal weakness.

Just the few clues that Liu Zhiye currently has are enough to put Li Huaide into an unprecedented predicament. He is afraid that he will find it difficult to swallow this game of chess.

However, when faced with an official like Li Huaide who has a complicated background and a prominent position, if you want to deal with him, you must thoroughly collect hard evidence of his violations of laws and disciplines, and strive to hit him in one fell swoop and bring him down completely.

Otherwise, you will not kill the snake but get bitten instead.

Li Huaide is like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark. Once he breaks free from his restraints, he will definitely bite back.

If the truth comes out and it is revealed that it was Liu Zhiye who was behind the plot, then Liu Zhiye's situation will be precarious and should not be underestimated.

In the blink of an eye, there is only a year left before the storm brews. By then, Li Huaide will be firmly seated at the pinnacle of power at the Red Star Factory, with enormous power.

Liu Zhiye himself may be fearless, but the people around him may not be spared. His closest relatives, close friends and even colleagues close to him will be implicated, and will definitely be retaliated against by the villain Li Huaide.

Therefore, for the sake of these people, Liu Zhiye also has to find a way to bring down villains like Li Huaide.

Liu Zhiye didn't dare to gamble. After all, he was not alone now. He had many responsibilities and concerns on his shoulders, which did not allow him to take a rash risk.

Therefore, he had to plan every step carefully, aiming to completely overthrow Li Huaide while ensuring his own identity was safe and sound, and cleverly cover up Liu Zhiye's behind-the-scenes role, so as to prevent the forces behind Li Huaide from noticing and causing unnecessary trouble.

In this silent contest, he needs to be cautious in every step, showing his swiftness while keeping a low profile to ensure that his plan is foolproof.

Liu Zhiye's mind was full of thoughts, and he quickly considered various possibilities, while Xu Damao was inadvertently left aside by him, looking particularly lonely.

Xu Damao was nervous and his voice trembled slightly. He said to Liu Zhiye, "Brother Liu, this matter... do you think I can... go back?" His eyes revealed fear and expectation that were difficult to conceal.

Liu Zhiye didn't think much about it, but just nodded quietly to show his agreement.

When Xu Damao saw this scene, he was secretly delighted and secretly glad that he seemed to have escaped a disaster. He was about to turn around and leave quietly to avoid any further trouble.

Liu Zhiye behind him suddenly shouted again: "Come back!"

Xu Damao was so frightened that he trembled all over, thinking to himself, "It's over, it's over. I can't escape this disaster!"

"Brother Liu, do you have any other instructions?" Xu Damao had a sad face, his voice trembling slightly, and his eyes were fixed on Liu Zhiye.

He knew very well that once Liu Zhiye got angry, the consequences would be something he could not easily bear. There was a depressing atmosphere in the air, as if even breathing had become cautious.

Liu Zhiye stretched out his hand and touched Xu Damao's face.

Xu Damao's heart tightened and his eyelids closed suddenly, fearing that he would be beaten again.

However, unexpectedly, Liu Zhiye did not use any violence. Instead, he quietly took out a piece of white toilet paper and gently wiped the blood from his nose, with an imperceptible care in his movements.

"Da Mao, I apologize to you. I was wrong and shouldn't have hit you. I was so angry just now. Can you forgive me?"

When Xu Damao heard this, a flattered look immediately appeared on his face. He quickly waved his hands and said, "Brother Liu, you're too kind. This is all my fault. I was confused and believed in the instigation of others. I wrongly blamed you." He muttered to himself in his heart, wondering when he had ever seen Liu Zhiye treat him so kindly. This tolerance made him both moved and guilty.

Liu Zhiye held Xu Damao's shoulders tightly and said concisely: "Da Mao, we live in the same courtyard and are as close as brothers. From now on, don't let those rumors outside easily shake our brotherhood, remember?"

Xu Damao's eyes were slightly red, and he said to Liu Zhiye sincerely: "Brother Liu, I will remember your words in my heart. From now on, I, Xu Damao, will reform myself and never make the same mistake again."

"It was all because of that bitch Qin Huairu who wanted to harm you. I was caught off guard and fell into her trap."

"Brother Liu, let's go find her right away. I didn't expect that we could only look at her face but not her heart. A good neighbor in the courtyard turned out to be so cruel."

"Tsk tsk, this bitch, what I don't understand is, why does she hate you so much?"

Liu Zhiye's face flashed with embarrassment when he heard this, and he said insincerely: "Maybe it has something to do with the conflict between me and their family a few years ago!"

"Da Mao, come closer and listen..."

Upon hearing the order, Xu Damao put his ear close to Liu Zhiye.

"Da Mao, I ask you to pretend that what happened tonight never happened and continue to be polite to her..."

Xu Damao kept nodding his head and responded to Liu Zhiye, "I understand!" "I see!" "Just wait and see!"

After Liu Zhiye finished explaining the task, Xu Damao said fiercely: "Brother Liu, don't worry. I, Xu Damao, may not be able to do other things. When it comes to playing tricks, they are no match. Just wait and see!"

Liu Zhiye said appreciatively: "Good! It all depends on your performance. A journey of a thousand miles tests a person's ability, and time reveals a person's true character."

"We are brothers, I won't treat you unfairly, we should take the long view..."

Xu Damao nodded like a chick pecking at rice and responded: "Yes, yes, Brother Liu is right!"

Seeing Xu Damao become his loyal younger brother, Liu Zhiye had an idea and decided to "give him a slap and then give him a sweet date."

"Da Mao, I heard that you and Lou Xiao'e have not had any children. Is there something wrong with your health?"

Xu Damao was stunned when he heard this, and then said unnaturally: "Brother Liu, this is not true, don't listen to their nonsense!"

Liu Zhiye raised his lips to smile lightly, and said with a hint of teasing, "Da Mao, we are so close, why are you still playing tricks on me? Is there anything we can't talk about directly? Don't forget, I also know medicine."

Xu Damao was still stubborn and refused to face the reality. He knew very well that although this disease was not incurable, its reputation was not so glorious after all.

Once this matter is leaked to outsiders, it will probably become a laughing stock for others, making him lose face and become a laughing stock.

Seeing that Xu Damao was still stubborn, Liu Zhiye had to say directly: "Look at your tongue, it's pale with white fur, your eyes are swollen, and your face is dark. Have you been suffering from back pain, frequent urination, and inability to urinate recently..."

Xu Damao's mouth opened into an "O" shape involuntarily. Every symptom described by Liu Zhiye accurately hit his pain points, making him forget his previous reserve and concealment. "Brother Liu, you are amazing! You are right. Do you have a way to cure my illness?" His words revealed a bit of urgency and expectation.

Liu Zhiye looked solemn, shook his head slightly, and said bluntly: "Your condition is indeed not optimistic. If you delay treatment, you may slide into kidney failure, which is a serious life-threatening disease. Don't take it lightly!"

When Xu Damao heard this, his face changed suddenly, as if struck by lightning. "What? This is impossible! When I saw the doctor a while ago, the doctor clearly said that it was kidney deficiency and that I would recover after some recuperation. How could it suddenly become so serious?" There was a hint of disbelief and panic in his words. Obviously, this sudden news caught him off guard.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiye curled his lips slightly and said bluntly: "Da Mao, to be honest, you didn't go to those big hospitals for treatment this time, right? Did you find a small clinic nearby and have a look?"

Xu Damao nodded, his heart sank. He began to believe what Liu Zhiye said because there was no need for him to lie to him in this regard.

What's more, Xu Damao had no doubt that Liu Zhiye was proficient in medicine. While others might still have doubts, he had a deep understanding of Liu Zhiye's family and knew that the medical skills inherited by his family were extraordinary and unique.

Haven't you seen that the second son of the Liu family has gone abroad to study medicine? When he returns after completing his studies, he will surely be a shining new star in the medical field and lead the way.

In other words, if Liu Zhiye had not yet entered the medical field, his medical skills would certainly be as good as his brother's. Just imagine, the weight of a diagnosis made by such a person cannot be compared with that of a doctor in a small clinic on the street.

The more he thought about it, the more fear Xu Damao became. He shouted with a trembling voice, almost sobbing: "Brother Liu, I'm still young, and I have a long future to come. I really don't want to leave like this. You must save me, please!" His words revealed endless despair and desire for life, which made people feel pity.

Liu Zhiye's lips curled up into a smile, and he patted Xu Damao on the shoulder, his tone firm and warm: "Da Mao, don't worry, although I can't save you, but the world is so big, there are many talented people, there is always a way. We have a deep brotherly love, how can I just sit back and watch? Don't worry, I will do my best to cure you!"

Xu Damao was still anxious and asked, "Can it really be cured? Brother Liu, please don't lie to me."

Liu Zhiye nodded, gave him a reassuring look and said, "My grandfather is a skilled doctor, he can cure your illness."

Xu Damao was overjoyed when he heard this, and naturally thanked Liu Zhiye profusely.

Afterwards, Liu Zhiye gave Xu Damao some instructions and sent him away.

Then, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he thought:

"What a close call! Fortunately, I had the urge to go back to my home in Nanluoguxiang today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"Li Huaide, you asked for this!"

………………

When he returned to the room alone, Liu Zhiye's face returned to normal.

Sha Zhu looked puzzled and asked curiously, "Brother Liu, why did you take so long? And where is Xu Damao?"

Liu Zhiye glanced at everyone present and chuckled, "Hey, Xu Damao got drunk again tonight, so I decided to be a good person and sent him home safely. When I got to his house, I naturally had a few small talk with him and his wife, just some trivial family matters."

"Brothers, are you getting impatient? Come, fill up the glasses and let's continue drinking."

When the others heard this, they didn't take it to heart and didn't investigate further. Only Yan Jiecheng was full of doubts. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Liu Zhiye quietly gave him a meaningful look, so he put aside all his doubts.

Then, Yan Jiecheng suddenly got inspired and quickly responded: "That's right, let's have a good time tonight and not stop until we are drunk. After all, it's a rare occasion for Brother Liu to come back for a gathering, so we have to have fun!"

In this way, they drank until late at night. When the guests left one by one, Yan Jiecheng quietly turned back and returned alone.

Just as he was about to ask Liu Zhiye the reason, he interrupted in a calm tone: "Be patient, go and see if Lao Ge has returned. If he has, ask him to come with you. I have something important to tell you two."

"Oh! Okay!" Yan Jiecheng turned around and left.

About half an hour late, Yan Jiecheng hurried back with the dusty Lao Ge. Lao Ge's appearance revealed that he had just started his journey home.

As soon as Liu Zhiye stepped out of the door, Ge Shuping came up to him with sharp eyes and shouted with joy: "Old Liu, you are finally back!" After that, he opened his arms generously and gave Liu Zhiye a firm hug. The friendship between the two was silently conveyed in this simple action.

Liu Zhiye tapped Lao Ge's chest lightly and asked, "Working overtime tonight?"

Old Ge nodded slightly, the smile on his face disappeared, he said in a deep voice: "Recently, I don't know what happened, the peace of the factory family quarters has been repeatedly disrupted, fights and thefts have occurred frequently, and our security department is very busy and exhausted. These petty thieves suddenly appeared from nowhere, which is really a headache."

"Hmph, don't let me catch them, otherwise they will be in trouble." Lao Ge said fiercely.

Liu Zhiye couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and his tone was full of doubt and vigilance: "This matter is very strange. With the rigor and strength of our factory security department, who dares to cause trouble here?"

"Isn't this just provoking the emperor?"

Ge Shuping responded: "That's right. When you were here, the public security here was so good. Those scoundrels on the street were driven as far away as possible."

"Unfortunately, ever since Old Sun took over your job, these bears have revived their f*cking evil again."

"For this, Lao Sun was reprimanded by Li Huaide several times. What's worse, Li Huaide took this as an opportunity to cleverly introduce a deputy director from outside to fill the vacancy in the leadership team of the Security Department. This move caused quite a stir in the Security Department, making Lao Sun's situation even more delicate."

"This deputy director is a complete yes-man for Li Huaide. He does whatever Li Huaide says. He knows nothing, yet he still interferes with the management of the Security Department."

"If it weren't for Old Sun suppressing him, this powerful team you built with your own hands would have been torn apart by these two bastards long ago."

"However, Lao Sun and Li Huaide also had a conflict over this."

"Li Huaide even threatened that if Old Sun didn't solve the current public security problems, he should step down and let others take over his position, and stop occupying the toilet without doing anything!"

"Damn it! I want to shoot these two bastards!"

With Lao Ge's temper, he would naturally be full of anger when talking about these things. He is the kind of person who can't stand these petty and petty things.

When Liu Zhiye heard this, his heart suddenly tightened. The situation he least wanted to see finally came. The Security Department of the Red Star Factory, the team he had devoted countless efforts to carefully build, was now facing unprecedented challenges.

He knew very well that once people's hearts were divided, even the strongest defense line would become fragile. What he feared most was that "the government would be in decline after the people left" and all his efforts would be wasted.

When faced with a leader like Li Huaide, who is known for abusing his power, he naturally cannot tolerate the Security Department being out of his strict control.

When Liu Zhiye was in office, the situation was relatively clear, and even if Li Huaide wanted to intervene, he could not find a suitable opportunity.

The two were of equal rank. Liu Zhiye, with his profound prestige, had the final say in the Security Department and firmly grasped the decision-making power. On the other hand, Li Huaide could only watch the changes from the sidelines and could hardly shake Liu Zhiye's authority.

Now the situation has changed. With Liu Zhiye's departure, how can Li Huaide sit back and watch the Security Department continue to maintain its independent status? This department is actually a powerful department in the organization. It is about power. How can he let it go easily?

Infiltrating the Security Department and quietly laying out the plan was the first priority. The first step was to infiltrate the Security Department. Then, the second step was to use conspiracy to exclude Sun Li, Liu Zhiye's solid arm, which was precise and decisive.

Then, he dismantled the rest of Liu Zhiye's trusted forces one by one, step by step, which was the third step, comprehensive and meticulous. In the end, the power of the Security Department fell into the hands of Li Huaide.

"The Li guy is really scheming and wants to kill me. Qin Huairu is just a trap. Even without her, this bastard would come to me sooner or later." Liu Zhiye's mind suddenly became clear and he realized that in this world, people may harm tigers even if they don't want to.

Then he slammed the table and angrily said to Ge Shuping: "Why didn't you report these things to me in advance?"

"Damn it! The enemy has come to your doorstep, and you still don't know it. Where is your military vigilance?"
