Sha Zhu's face changed, and he looked a little flustered, "Rufeng, what are you talking about? I didn't..."

"You didn't? You beat someone that day and put me in a coma for four days and four nights. What does that mean?" Chen Rufeng interrupted him, his eyes full of anger and determination.

The neighbors around also began to talk about it. Everyone was shocked and dissatisfied with Sha Zhu's behavior. Aunt Li frowned and walked to Chen Rufeng, "Rufeng, calm down and talk it over."

"Calm down? Aunt Li, I can't be calm anymore!" Chen Rufeng clenched his fists. "This is attempted murder. I must call the police!"

Sha Zhu's expression became more and more ugly. He obviously didn't expect things to develop to this point. "Rufeng, I really didn't mean it. I just wanted to stop the fight that day, but things got out of control..."

"Stay out of a fight? You end up beating someone so badly that they get hurt? Do you think you can cover up your crime with a simple 'it wasn't intentional'?" Chen Rufeng glared at Sha Zhu, refusing to back down.

Seeing that the matter could not be resolved peacefully, Sha Zhu finally realized his mistake and the seriousness of the matter. He lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Rufeng, I really know I was wrong. If you want to call the police, I will not stop you. But please believe me, I have no intention of hurting you."

Chen Rufeng sneered and took out his cell phone to call the police. However, the neighbors around him tried to dissuade him.

He stood up and walked to the window, pushing open the old wooden window. The cool breeze of the early morning blew in his face, bringing with it a hint of moist earthy air. People in the yard were already busy, some were sweeping the floor, some were washing clothes, a peaceful scene. However, his heart could not calm down.

"Rufeng, what's wrong with you?" Qin Huairu's voice came from behind. She was holding a bowl of hot porridge with a concerned look on her face.

"It's okay, just a little tired." Ru Feng forced a smile, took the porridge and drank it slowly.

"Are you still worried about Sha Zhu?" Qin Huairu put down the bowl in her hand, sat next to him, and asked softly.

Ru Feng nodded and sighed: "Yes, I received a letter yesterday saying that Sha Zhu was targeted by some criminals and might be in danger."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu's face became serious: "Then what should we do?"

"I have to find Sha Zhu and talk to him to see if he has noticed anything unusual." Ru Feng said firmly.

After breakfast, Rufeng went straight to Shazhu's residence. When he opened the door, he saw Shazhu sitting by the bed, fiddling with something. Hearing the sound, he looked up and saw that it was Rufeng, with a smile on his face.

"Rufeng, what brings you here?" Sha Zhu stood up and brushed the dust off his body.

"Shazhu, I want to talk to you about something." Ru Feng said bluntly, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu's smile gradually faded, and he said seriously, "Sit down, and tell me what you want to say."

Ru Feng sat down and told him the contents of the letter. After listening to it, Sha Zhu frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Why would these people target me? I don't know any old secrets at all."

"Perhaps it's because you've accidentally heard or seen something on some occasion before." Ru Feng analyzed, "But no matter what, you must be careful now."

Sha Zhu nodded: "I understand. Thank you for reminding me, Ru Feng. There are indeed a few people who have been following me stealthily recently. I will pay more attention."

"Also, if you find anything abnormal, tell me immediately and we will work together to find a solution." Ru Feng reminded.

Sha Zhu nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I won't be careless again."

After leaving Sha Zhu's house, Ru Feng felt a little more relaxed, but still couldn't calm down completely. He walked along the small path in the courtyard, thinking about the things that had happened during this period, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

He recalled that when he was a child, the people in the courtyard lived in harmony, and the big family atmosphere made him feel very warm. Although Sha Zhu had a bad temper at that time, he was also a warm-hearted person and often helped his neighbors solve various problems. But now, with the changes of the times, people's hearts have become much more complicated.

"Ru Feng!" A voice came from behind, interrupting his thoughts. He turned around and saw that it was Yi Zhonghai.

"Hello, President Yi." Ru Feng greeted respectfully.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded: "You looked serious just now, are you worried about something?"

Ru Feng hesitated for a moment, but still told Yi Zhonghai about the letter. After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face became serious: "This matter is not simple. You did the right thing, you should let Sha Zhu be more careful. However, you should also remind other neighbors to be vigilant."

"Thank you, President Yi. I will tell everyone." Ru Feng nodded in agreement.

After leaving Yi Zhonghai's residence, Rufeng visited several neighbors with whom he had a good relationship, told them what happened, and reminded them to pay attention to safety. After listening, everyone expressed their understanding and support and said they would pay more attention.

When Rufeng got home at night and lay in bed, his mind kept flashing back to what happened during the day. He knew that things were far from over and there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future. He had to stay alert at all times to protect himself and his neighbors.

Late night thoughts

It was late at night, and only a few cats could be heard occasionally in the courtyard. Ru Feng tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He felt uneasy when he thought of the criminals mentioned in the letter and the danger facing Sha Zhu.

"Who are these people? Why are they targeting Sha Zhu?" Ru Feng asked himself repeatedly in his heart.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility: these people might be related to some of Sha Zhu's past experiences. Although Sha Zhu was not an important person, perhaps he accidentally touched on some secrets, which led to these troubles.

Thinking of this, Rufeng decided to go to Shazhu again tomorrow and ask him about some things in the past in detail, maybe he could find some clues from it. He believed that as long as he figured out the ins and outs of the matter, he could find a solution to the problem.

The next morning, Ru Feng came to Sha Zhu's residence again. This time, he was more determined to get to the bottom of the matter.

"Rufeng, you're here again." Sha Zhu greeted him with a smile, but there was still a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

"Shazhu, I have something I want to ask you in detail." Ru Feng said straight to the point.

Sha Zhu nodded and motioned him to sit down: "Go ahead."

"Can you recall whether you have experienced anything special or met any strange people in recent years?" Ru Feng asked, his eyes full of anticipation.
