Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

He Daqing pondered for a moment and said, "We will continue to focus on the antique shop and not let these external things affect our work. No matter what choice Jia Xiaoying makes, we must stick to our own path."

Zhao Yajing nodded in agreement: "Yes, Brother Daqing is right. We must remain calm and put all our energy into running the antique shop."

Yang Shumao also agreed and said, "Yes, we can't be distracted by these things. Brother Daqing, we will always support you."

He Daqing looked at them gratefully and nodded: "Thank you for your support. Let's work together to make the antique shop better."

In the days that followed, He Daqing and his partners devoted themselves to the work of the antique shop. They continued to strengthen the identification and management of antiques, improve the safety measures in the store, and continuously expand the scope of business. Although there were still some unresolved emotional entanglements in their hearts, they tried not to let these affect their work.

One afternoon a month later, the antique shop welcomed a mysterious guest. The man was wearing a black windbreaker, a hat, and a pair of sunglasses, looking very low-key. As soon as he entered the store, he attracted everyone's attention.

"Welcome, how can I help you?" Zhao Yajing stepped forward to greet him and asked politely.

The man took off his sunglasses, revealing a stern face, and whispered, "I'm here to see He Daqing. I have something important to discuss."

He Daqing heard the voice and walked out of the office. Seeing the mysterious guest, he frowned slightly and said, "I am He Daqing. May I ask who you are? What do you want from me?"

The man walked up to He Daqing and whispered, "My name is Wang Meng, and there are some things I must discuss with you in private."

He Daqing was curious about his identity, but nodded: "Okay, come with me to the office."

The two walked into the office, He Daqing closed the door, and turned to face Wang Meng: "Mr. Wang, you can tell me now, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Wang Meng sat down, took a deep breath, and said, "Mr. He, I know you are confused about Jia Xiaoying and Niu Tinggui. I am here to tell you some truth."

He Daqing was stunned for a moment, feeling a little uneasy: "The truth? What truth?"

Wang Meng looked at him seriously and said slowly: "Jia Xiaoying didn't marry Niu Tinggui voluntarily. She was forced."

"Forced?" He Daqing asked in shock, "Who forced her?"

Wang Meng nodded and continued, "There is a force behind Niu Tinggui. They threatened Jia Xiaoying's family and forced her to agree to the marriage."

He Daqing was furious: "So, Jia Xiaoying was forced? She didn't want to marry Niu Tinggui at all?"

Wang Meng nodded: "Yes, she still has you in her heart, but she has to succumb to these pressures."

He Daqing felt mixed emotions after hearing this. His anger was gradually replaced by heartache and guilt. It turned out that Jia Xiaoying had been suffering all this while he knew nothing about it.

"Mr. Wang, why are you telling me this?" He Daqing asked.

Wang Meng smiled bitterly: "Because I am also one of the victims. Niu Tinggui's power not only threatens Jia Xiaoying's family, but also threatens me. I hope to cooperate with you to expose their crimes and rescue Jia Xiaoying."

He Daqing pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'm willing to cooperate. We can't let Jia Xiaoying continue to suffer."

Wang Meng smiled with relief: "Thank you, Mr. He. Next we need to make a detailed plan to ensure success."

The two agreed on a plan of action and decided to start by investigating Niu Tinggui's background, collecting evidence, and then making the evidence public. He Daqing knew that this would be a difficult battle, but he was determined to rescue Jia Xiaoying at all costs.

A few days later, He Daqing and Wang Meng started their action. They used the resources and connections of the antique shop to find all kinds of information about Niu Tinggui and secretly collected a lot of evidence. At the same time, they also contacted some influential people, hoping to get more support.

As time went by, He Daqing and Wang Meng's actions gradually paid off. They not only discovered the dark forces behind Niu Tinggui, but also obtained a lot of evidence of his crimes. This evidence was enough to expose his true colors and make him receive the punishment he deserved.

One night, He Daqing and Wang Meng were sorting out evidence in the office, preparing for the final action. Zhao Yajing and Yang Shumao also joined them, and everyone was full of tension and expectation.

"Tomorrow is the critical moment of the action, we must succeed." He Daqing said to everyone in a firm tone.

Zhao Yajing and Yang Shumao nodded in support, while Wang Meng smiled and said, "Mr. He, we have made sufficient preparations and will definitely succeed."

The next day, He Daqing and Wang Meng took all the evidence to the home of an influential media person. They told him everything in detail and showed him the evidence one by one.

After hearing this, the journalist's face became serious: "This matter is indeed very serious. I will make the evidence public as soon as possible so that everyone can know the truth."

A few days later, an article exposing Niu Tinggui and the black forces behind him was published in major media. The article detailed Niu Tinggui's criminal behavior and the truth that Jia Xiaoying was forced to marry, which aroused widespread public concern and anger. The relevant departments quickly intervened in the investigation, and Niu Tinggui and his accomplices were arrested one after another.

Jia Xiaoying finally gained her freedom. She looked at He Daqing gratefully, her eyes full of tears: "Brother Daqing, thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know how much more suffering I would have to endure."

He Daqing looked at her distressedly and said softly: "Xiaoying, don't cry, everything is over. We will face all difficulties together in the future and never let anyone hurt you again."

Jia Xiaoying nodded and smiled.

He Daqing didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he had to swallow his anger.

Although he was filled with anger and helplessness, He Daqing decided not to make a big deal out of it. He knew that although exposing Niu Tinggui's conspiracy could temporarily solve Jia Xiaoying's problem, this path was not easy and might even lead to more trouble. In order to protect the antique shop and the people around him, he could only choose to swallow his anger.

That night, He Daqing sat alone in the courtyard of the quadrangle, the moonlight sprinkled on the ground, casting mottled shadows of the trees. His mood was like the shadows of the night, full of complexity and heaviness.
