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

Chen Rufeng nodded, but he didn't feel relaxed at all. He knew that Sha Zhu's words were just superficial, and his real plan could never be that simple. While chatting with Sha Zhu, Chen Rufeng secretly observed his expression and actions, hoping to catch some subtle details.

However, Sha Zhu acted very calmly, as if he really took the words of "reform" to heart. Chen Rufeng was secretly anxious, but he couldn't show it, so he could only continue to chat casually.

"By the way, Sha Zhu, you and Lao Liu have been very close recently. Lao Liu looks honest, but you have to be careful about some things." Chen Rufeng said tentatively, observing Sha Zhu's reaction.

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu's smile froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, "Brother Rufeng, you worry too much. Old Liu is just a talkative person, there's nothing else to it. We just chat occasionally, that's all."

Chen Rufeng nodded, seemingly accepting Sha Zhu's explanation, but he was more alert in his heart. He knew that Sha Zhu was trying his best to cover up something, but he had not found direct evidence yet. After chatting with Sha Zhu for a while, Chen Rufeng said goodbye and left, secretly thinking about his next move.

After returning home, Chen Rufeng still couldn't calm down. His intuition told him that Sha Zhu's conspiracy was slowly unfolding, and he had to act as soon as possible. In this situation, he could no longer fight alone and had to seek more help.

Chen Rufeng's thoughts returned to the secret many years ago, the experience when he faced danger alone. He knew that the situation this time was more complicated, and he had to brainstorm to win this war without gunpowder. Thinking of this, Chen Rufeng decided to go to Yi Zhonghai to discuss and see if he could get more advice from him.

The next morning, Chen Rufeng came to Yi Zhonghai's door again. After knocking on the door, Yi Zhonghai saw him and seemed to have expected his arrival, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

"Rufeng, it seems you have discovered something again." Yi Zhonghai asked him to come into the house, with a hint of concern in his tone.

Chen Rufeng sat down and told Yi Zhonghai about the conversation with Sha Zhu last night, especially Sha Zhu's stiff reaction when he mentioned Lao Liu. After listening to this, Yi Zhonghai's face became serious.

"Rufeng, Shazhu's behavior is indeed suspicious, but since he can remain so calm, it means his plan has entered a critical stage." Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice, and it was obvious that he also realized the seriousness of the matter.

Chen Rufeng nodded, "Yes, I also think we can't delay any longer, we must find a breakthrough as soon as possible."

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment and then said, "We can take a more roundabout way. We might as well start with other people and see if Sha Zhu has had any contact with people from other courtyards recently. Maybe we can find some clues from the side."

Chen Rufeng thought this was a good idea. He decided to start with a few old neighbors in the courtyard to see if they had noticed anything unusual recently. Since Sha Zhu and Lao Liu were planning something big, it was impossible for them to keep it a secret. Maybe someone had noticed it but didn't say it publicly.

"Okay, I'll do it." Chen Rufeng decided to act according to Yi Zhonghai's suggestion. He gradually formed a plan in his mind and knew what to do next.

After bidding farewell to Yi Zhonghai, Chen Rufeng returned to the courtyard and began to visit the old neighbors who had lived there for many years. These people usually didn't talk much, but they had sharp eyes and saw a lot of things, but they were not necessarily willing to get involved.

He first found Uncle Li who lived in the west wing. The old man didn't talk much, but he knew everything about the courtyard. After a few pleasantries, Chen Rufeng asked tentatively, "Uncle, have you seen anything unusual about Sha Zhu and Lao Liu recently?"

Chen Rufeng was shocked when he heard what Uncle Li said. His intuition told him that this was the key clue he needed. Sha Zhu and the people outside the courtyard met at the corner of the street, and they looked very mysterious. This could not be an ordinary chat. Although Uncle Li didn't talk much, he had a sharp eye and could capture many details that others overlooked.

Chen Rufeng pondered for a moment and decided to ask further: "Uncle, did you see who Sha Zhu met? Did they say anything special?"

Uncle Li frowned, as if trying to recall the scene at that time. "Well, Rufeng, I was not close at that time, so I didn't hear clearly what they were saying. But I could see that Shazhu and that man looked very nervous, as if they were discussing something shameful. I'm not familiar with that man, he seems to be from outside, I've never seen him walking around in our yard."

Chen Rufeng nodded, and felt the urgency of the matter more and more. Sha Zhu's contact with outsiders was obviously planning something shady. He knew that once such a thing was exposed, the entire courtyard would fall into chaos.

"Thank you, uncle, the clue you provided is very important." Chen Rufeng thanked Uncle Li, but he was more determined to stop Sha Zhu's plan. He couldn't let Sha Zhu's conspiracy succeed, otherwise the whole courtyard would pay the price.

After leaving Uncle Li's house, Chen Rufeng walked straight to the central open space of the courtyard. He knew that some people in the courtyard still had some sympathy for Sha Zhu, after all, Sha Zhu usually ran around for the people in the courtyard, and some small favors won their hearts. But Chen Rufeng knew in his heart that he had to act decisively at this time and not let anyone help Sha Zhu anymore, otherwise things would become more difficult.

Chen Rufeng stood in the open space, cleared his throat, and said in a low voice but with great determination: "Everyone, come out for a moment. I have something to say."

When the people in the courtyard heard Chen Rufeng's voice, they all came out of their homes. Seeing Chen Rufeng's serious face, they realized that the matter was not simple, so they all gathered around him. Yi Zhonghai was among them, with a bit of concern and tacit understanding in his eyes, as if he had already expected Chen Rufeng to take such action.

"Rufeng, what's the matter that makes you so anxious?" asked Aunt Liu who lived on the east side. She was a kind-hearted person who loved to help others, but at this moment she looked at Chen Rufeng with a worried look on her face.

Chen Rufeng looked around, looking at the familiar faces in the courtyard, and felt heavy in his heart. He knew that what he said next might make some people dissatisfied, but he had no choice. If Sha Zhu's conspiracy succeeded, it would not only affect the harmony of the courtyard, but also might put everyone in greater trouble.

"Everyone, I have something important to tell you today." Chen Rufeng said in a heavy tone, his eyes full of determination.
