Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

The next morning.

A Hongqi car was parked at the gate of the courtyard.

Xu Damao was wearing a black shirt, jeans, a baseball cap and sunglasses.

Standing in the driver's seat of the Red Flag was a young man. He was the gang leader that Xu Damao had sent to kidnap Chen Fei yesterday.

Although this young man is not the core leader of the gang, he controls the life and death of the entire gang.

He was a thug recruited by Xu Damao from the street, and was specifically responsible for doing various private jobs for Xu Damao.

For example, helping Xu Damao to do some shady work.

The back seat of the Hongqi is filled with various packaging boxes.

Inside were various antiques that Xu Damao had bought from the furniture factory, numbering hundreds in total.

Xu Damao loaded all these priceless antiques into the trunk of the Hongqi car, then got out and walked towards the courtyard.

"Coming."

Inside the room, a young man shouted respectfully, and brought a sandalwood desk, and placed writing brushes, inkstones, and rice paper on it.

Xu Damao nodded: "Well, frame all these calligraphy works and hang them on the wall."

"Yes!" The young man did as he was told.

The young man's movements were quick and skillful, and it was obvious that he often handled these matters for the noble.

Soon, the young man finished his work and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Xu Damao shook his head and said, "Not for now."

The young man immediately retreated tactfully.

Xu Damao was the only one left in the room.

Xu Damao took a deep breath and walked slowly to the window.

Through the glass window, Xu Damao looked at the scenery outside with a solemn expression.

"At this time, Chen Fei has already started to run the jewelry business of 'Jade Shop'."

"According to the information I found, Chen Fei is a shrewd and cautious person who is good at seizing every opportunity. Therefore, what he lacks most right now is money."

"Once I have a huge sum of money, he will definitely come to me and ask for cooperation."

"After all, a piece of jadeite raw material sold for 50,000 is really a lot of money!"

"I just need to set a trap and lure him in. He will surely die!"

Xu Damao's mind was spinning rapidly and he soon came up with a solution.

Then, Xu Damao took out a card.

He placed the card on a piece of rice paper, then took a charcoal stove, lit a stick of incense and inserted it on the rice paper, and recited the Tao Te Ching:

"Tao is the origin of all things.

Therefore, the sage said, "The Tao can be spoken of, but it is not the constant Tao; the name can be named, but it is not the constant name; the nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth, the named is the mother of all things."

Therefore, one should always be free of desire in order to observe its wonders, and always have desire in order to observe its boundaries. These two things come from the same source but have different names, and are both called mysterious. The more mysterious, the more mysterious, and they are the door to all wonders.

Different paths lead to the same destination, returning to the same origin..."

Xu Damao recited the "Tao Te Ching" and gradually fell into deep thought, seeming to have a deep understanding.

After a long time, he suddenly raised his head with bright eyes.

"How could I forget the 'Jade Business' gimmick?"

Xu Damao slapped his forehead suddenly, suddenly realized, and showed joy on his face: "I just wanted Chen Fei to be obedient, but I forgot to use the gimmick of 'Jade Business' to make him ask me to cooperate with him."

This is like when a gambler who is angry about losing a lot of money always likes to use some weird bets to provoke the other party to bet with him.

Xu Damao used this method to deceive Chen Fei in his previous life.

However, in this life, Xu Damao no longer uses this method, but instead adopts a more direct and simple method.

"This method may be more effective than using the gimmick of 'jade business'."

Xu Damao touched his chin and muttered to himself.

In his previous life, Xu Damao had used this method to trick Chen Fei.

But the way he tricked Chen Fei was not particularly cruel, at least he left some room for maneuver.

Xu Damao must completely eradicate the roots of the evil in this life!

……

noon.

Chen Fei led a group of people to the door of Room No. 3 of a restaurant.

There were seven or eight burly bodyguards guarding outside the room.

Fade Chen took out a stack of banknotes, threw it to a bodyguard, and said indifferently: "Go, knock on the door."

The bodyguard weighed the money in his hand and smiled: "Thank you, boss."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked into the room.

Chen Fei was waiting outside the room, looking forward to it and waiting patiently.

A few minutes later, the bodyguard returned: "He doesn't want to see you, and asked you to get out."

Chen Fei frowned, thinking that this boy was really arrogant, daring not to see him.

Is he really not afraid of retaliation?

But soon, Fade Chen felt relieved, with a sneer on his face.

This guy is just a piece of useless mud. Since he has chosen to break up, how can he have any support?

Chen Fei would not be afraid of just a small family.

"Since he won't accept my toast, let's wait and see."

Fade Chen suppressed the anger on his face and walked out.

……

Five p.m.

A young man knocked on the door of the courtyard where Xu Damao lived.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Xu Damao here?" the young man asked politely.

"Who is it?" A delicate voice came from inside.

Immediately afterwards, the gate of the courtyard opened, revealing a pretty-looking Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e had just returned from abroad and hadn't figured out what had happened.

Suddenly she saw a strange man outside the door, which scared her.

"Who are you looking for?" Lou Xiao'e stared at the man in front of her vigilantly.

The young man revealed a pair of sharp eyes.

"You must be Lou Xiao'e."

The young man said, "My name is Wang Yu, and I was introduced by Brother Mao."

"Brother Mao?" Lou Xiao'e was stunned.

He looked carefully at the young man in front of him, making sure he had never seen him before.

The young man smiled and continued, "Brother Mao knew I was coming, and asked me to tell you, Miss Lou."

"Oh? How does he know I live here?" Lou Xiao'e was surprised.

"Because I rent a house nearby." the young man explained.

"So that's how it is." Lou Xiao'e thought.

Wang Yu continued: "This courtyard house belongs to Mr. Xu. I am only responsible for delivering the goods."

"Our old man hopes that you can persuade Mr. Xu to change his mind."

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e immediately understood.

Xu Damao's rejection of Chen Fei this time was probably because he offended the old man of the Lou family.

The old man of the Lou family sent someone over to negotiate.

Xu Damao did not agree, so the Lou family became angry and wanted to force Xu Damao to compromise.

"Hmph, Brother Mao doesn't need to consider my opinion when doing anything!" Lou Xiao'e insisted.

Wang Yu sighed bitterly: "Alas, our old man is the elder, and you are just the younger generation. Some things..."

Lou Xiao'e's pretty face turned cold: "I'm not discussing, I'm ordering you to leave immediately."

"Uh... okay." Wang Yu turned around and left helplessly.

After Wang Yu left, Lou Xiao'e closed the door and went back into the room.

Coming to the bedside and looking at Xu Damao sleeping soundly on the bed, she thought to herself, "This guy really knows how to enjoy himself."

This room is decorated with many decorations...

Looking at Xu Damao, Lou Xiao'e's eyes became softer and softer, and she couldn't help laughing.

In this luxurious bedroom, Xu Damao seems to be the only owner here.

Lou Xiao'e's expression darkened. She clenched her fist and bit her lips lightly: "I must make that scum pay the price. I must dig out his body and whip it..."

"Oh, that's not right, that scumbag has been shot!" Lou Xiao'e suddenly realized this.

But even so, she still couldn't let go of her hatred!

"Just wait, I will definitely avenge that scum."

"When I have enough power, I will kill them all!"

Lou Xiao'e spoke with gritted teeth, her heart filled with resentment, as if there was a raging fire burning in it.

Just as she was sinking into sadness, suddenly, Xu Damao's lazy voice rang in her ears: "What did you just say?"

"Ah...I..." Lou Xiao'e was in a panic.

Xu Damao opened his eyes and glanced at Lou Xiaoe: "I said, I'm awake!"

Lou Xiao'e lowered her head quickly and said weakly: "Oh, are you hungry? How about I cook for you..."

She is not good at taking care of people and is not used to doing housework, so most of her daily tasks are handled by a nanny.

"Cooking?"

Xu Damao was stunned.

Lou Xiao'e asked timidly, "You don't like it?"

"Um... no, I'm just a little sorry to trouble you." Xu Damao said with a wry smile.

I have heard from my parents that women have to take care of men and do a lot of chores.

Xu Damao didn’t believe it before.
