Siheyuan: Sending Shazhu into the call center, Yi Gu is useless

Old Liu forced a smile and nodded, "That's right, that's right, Brother Rufeng, you are right, I understand."

Chen Rufeng saw this and had a plan in mind, so he stopped pressuring him. He knew that Lao Liu was tight-lipped, but as long as he kept a close eye on him, he would find a breakthrough sooner or later. And Sha Zhu might be the key to uncovering this conspiracy.

He returned home and sat at the table, recalling the experience of the past. When he was young, he was full of passion and dared to fight against injustice and danger, but now, after years of tempering, he has learned more forbearance and strategy. He knows that facing an opponent like Sha Zhu, he can't just rely on temporary courage, but must use all his wisdom and means.

As he was thinking, Chen Rufeng's eyes fell on an old photo on the table. It was a photo of him when he was young. In the photo, he had clear eyes and a firm expression on his face. Today, he still maintains that firmness, but his inner world has already undergone earth-shaking changes.

"This time, I must not let Sha Zhu escape again no matter what." Chen Rufeng thought to himself. He decided to meet Yi Zhonghai again and tell him about the conversation with Lao Liu and his guesses to see if he could find more flaws.

After listening to Chen Rufeng's story, Yi Zhonghai frowned and looked particularly solemn. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Rufeng, it seems that Lao Liu is indeed suspicious, but we need more evidence. His contact with Sha Zhu alone is not enough to uncover their conspiracy."

Chen Rufeng nodded, feeling anxious. He knew Yi Zhonghai was right, and that he had to find more solid evidence to completely bring down Sha Zhu. But he also knew that time waited for no one, and that Sha Zhu and Lao Liu's plan was probably coming to an end, so he had to act faster.

"Brother Zhonghai, I have a feeling that Shazhu will never let us go easily this time. I have to take more direct action." There was a hint of determination in Chen Rufeng's voice and a firm light flashing in his eyes.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Chen Rufeng with a complex emotion in his eyes. He knew that Chen Rufeng had made up his mind and he had to support him with all his strength.

"Okay, Rufeng, if you decide to do this, I will fully support you. But you must remember, no matter what, you must be careful and don't let them bite back." Yi Zhonghai's voice was low and firm, full of concern and support for his friend.

Chen Rufeng nodded, feeling a great power in his heart. He knew that with Yi Zhonghai's support behind him, things might go more smoothly.

"I will, Brother Zhonghai, I will be careful." Chen Rufeng said in a firm tone, then stood up and said goodbye, ready to go back to implement his plan.

Walking on the small path in the courtyard, Chen Rufeng's heart was filled with mixed emotions. He knew that this operation was of great importance and could not afford any mistakes. And the secret that had been hidden deep in his heart for many years seemed to be the source of motivation for his actions at this moment.

Chen Rufeng returned home. The house was silent except for the regular ticking of the wall clock. He stood at the door, staring at the familiar furnishings in front of him, but his heart was already in turmoil. After the conversation with Lao Liu, he became more and more aware that the complexity of the matter was beyond his expectations. Lao Liu's flickering eyes seemed to hide countless secrets, which made him feel an unprecedented sense of urgency.

He paced back and forth in the room, constantly thinking about his next move. Although he had acted very firm in front of Yi Zhonghai just now, Chen Rufeng knew that things were far from that simple. At this moment, he had to stay calm and not let his emotions affect his judgment. A wrong decision might alert Sha Zhu and Lao Liu, and the situation would become even more difficult to deal with.

"Don't be impatient, don't show your true colors." Chen Rufeng secretly warned himself. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner anxiety. Thinking of Yi Zhonghai's advice, he knew that it was not the time to show his cards yet. Sha Zhu and Lao Liu were not easy to deal with. Every step they took might hide traps, so he had to be cautious.

Sitting at the table, Chen Rufeng took out a piece of paper and began to write and draw, trying to sort out his thoughts. He knew that in order to completely defeat Sha Zhu, he must have solid evidence, not just guesses and suspicions. This meant that he needed more time to observe, analyze, and find their flaws.

"Is time... on my side, or on theirs?" Chen Rufeng was full of doubts. He understood that time was both his ally and his enemy. The longer he delayed, the more opportunities Sha Zhu would have to set his trap, and he might be exposed inadvertently. He had to find a balance point and catch every clue before the other party noticed.

Just as he was thinking, he heard the laughter and footsteps of people in the yard outside, interrupting his thoughts. He stood up, walked to the window, and watched the neighbors in the yard busying about. He couldn't help but feel a little helpless. These days, his attention was all on Sha Zhu, and he almost forgot about the daily life in the courtyard.

"If this matter is delayed for too long, the harmony of the Siheyuan may really be lost." Chen Rufeng felt a dull pain in his heart. Although he was full of anger towards Sha Zhu, he also knew how important the neighborhood relationship in the Siheyuan was. If his actions caused the entire courtyard to fall into chaos, he would never be able to forgive himself.

Thinking of this, Chen Rufeng decided to take a more covert approach, which would allow him to continue investigating Sha Zhu and Lao Liu without letting them know. He had to act as usual to make Sha Zhu believe that he had let down his guard.

That night, Chen Rufeng deliberately went around Sha Zhu's house and pretended to run into him by chance. Seeing Sha Zhu packing up his things at the door, Chen Rufeng pretended to walk over and said with a smile, "Hey, Sha Zhu, are you busy?"

Sha Zhu raised his head and saw Chen Rufeng, with a stiff smile on his face, "Brother Rufeng, it's nothing, just tidying up the clutter at home."

Chen Rufeng nodded, his eyes calmly scanning the things in Sha Zhu's hand, which were all old clothes and sundries, and looked nothing special. But he knew in his heart that this was just a superficial phenomenon, and the real secret must be hidden very deeply and would not be easily discovered.

"You've been quite quiet during this period, and there hasn't been much movement." Chen Rufeng said in a casual manner, with a hint of casual conversation in his tone.

Sha Zhu smiled, with a nonchalant expression on his face, "Hey, Brother Rufeng, you taught me a lesson, and I have changed my ways. It's nothing serious, I just want to live a peaceful life."
