Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Chapter 9 Searching Qin Huairu's House

Xu Damao was like being struck by lightning, standing there motionless, unable to move.

In the narrow space of the courtyard, the atmosphere suddenly became tense and depressing.

Chen Fei was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, pointing directly at the truth hidden in everyone's heart.

His every move and every word were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Liu Haizhong held the envelope, his hands shaking so much that he could hardly control them.

His face was pale and his eyes were full of astonishment and unwillingness.

He had never thought that this young man, who usually kept a low profile, would have such means to reveal everything so thoroughly.

Xu Damao was like a skinned fox, with nowhere to hide.

Standing there, eyes blank, it seemed as if the whole world had collapsed.

Xu Damao had always been a prominent figure in the courtyard, but now he had suddenly become the object of everyone's ridicule.

Bang Geng raised his head proudly, finally clearing his name, and all this was thanks to Chen Fei.

Qin Huairu looked at Chen Fei, her eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

She had never seen such a brave and smart person. He was like a ray of light, illuminating the dark corner of the courtyard.

Sha Zhu stood aside and watched all this silently.

His heart was filled with mixed emotions, including admiration for Fade Chen and regret for himself.

His previous impulsiveness and recklessness had brought so much trouble to Siheyuan, but Chen Fei solved all of it with wisdom and courage.

At this moment, the negative emotions in the courtyard surged like a tide, as if to drown Chen Fei.

But Chen Fei was not afraid at all. He stood there like a towering mountain, allowing the wind and rain to wash over him.

Chen Fei stood in the center of the courtyard, like a lone warrior, facing the gazes and discussions from all directions.

He did not retreat, but held his head high, with determination and courage flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly fell from the sky and enveloped Chen Fei.

Everyone covered their eyes in surprise, and saw nothing but white in front of them.

When the light faded away, a system interface glittering with golden light appeared in Chen Fei's mind.

"Complete the angry confrontation with Second Uncle and Xu Damao, and the host will be rewarded with 10,000 points, which can be exchanged for any goods!" Such words flashed on the system interface.

"Everyone, the truth is out. Xu Damao, your film is still in the cinema. Banggeng didn't steal your film at all. You are slandering you and making up stories. I hope you can face up to your mistake and apologize to Banggeng." Chen Fei's voice was sonorous and powerful, as hard as stone.

Xu Damao's face turned livid in an instant. He stared at Chen Fei angrily, but was speechless.

I have been completely defeated and can no longer stay in this courtyard.

At this moment, a burst of warm applause suddenly broke out in the courtyard.

Everyone cast approving glances at Chen Fei, as if he had become a hero in the courtyard.

Chen Fei stood in the center of the courtyard, the golden system interface shining brightly in his mind.

However, the atmosphere in the courtyard was still tense and depressing.

Xu Damao's face was ashen, with unwillingness and resentment flashing in his eyes, while Liu Haizhong's face was pale, with fear and anxiety in his heart.

Chen Fei watched all this, walked forward, and deliberately said loudly: "Second Uncle, your theft of the film has been exposed. I think we should call the police!"

When Liu Haizhong heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly explained: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I steal the film?"

However, Fade Chen remained unmoved and said firmly: "The facts are before us, do you still want to deny it?"

At this moment, the old man who had been punished was released and returned home.

He held a grudge against Fade Chen, so he stood up, shook his head, and sighed, "The city is undergoing a major inspection right now. How can we have the time to deal with these things? Let's wait until this period of time is over before we talk about it."

Chen Fei looked at the scene in front of him and already had an idea in his mind.

"Since no one wants to call the police, I have a suggestion. We can organize the three uncles, Qin Huairu, Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao and others to search the house by house in the yard for the film. This way we can find out the truth without wasting everyone's time."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Although Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong were dissatisfied, they could do nothing about it.

Thus, an unprecedented search operation was launched in the courtyard.

The crowd was divided into several groups and searched house by house.

Everyone has different thoughts, some hope to find out the truth, while others hope to clear themselves of suspicion.

The search plan proposed by Chen Fei was like a stone thrown into a lake, instantly breaking the tranquility of the courtyard.

Qin Huairu stood aside, feeling uneasy.

Looking at his son Banggeng, his eyes were full of worry and anxiety.

If the film was really in Banggeng's place, the consequences would be disastrous.

She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, walked up to Chen Fei, and whispered, "I believe you are fair. If the film is really with Bang Geng, I am willing to accept any punishment. However, I also hope that you can give him a chance to reform."

Looking at Qin Huairu, a complex emotion flashed in Chen Fei's eyes.

Qin Huairu is a kind and strong woman who has given so much for her family.

"Don't worry, I will handle it fairly. However, if the film is really in Banggeng's possession, then he must be held accountable for his actions."

Qin Huairu nodded and agreed.

She turned to Xu Damao and said, "Xu Damao, I hope you can treat this matter fairly. If the film is found, I am willing to accept your supervision until Banggeng corrects his mistakes."

Xu Damao sneered and said, "Stop pretending to be a good guy here. When we find the film in your house, it will prove that Banggeng stole it. Let's see how you end up!"

The search operation began.

The crowd was divided into several groups and searched house by house.

Qin Huairu followed Bang Geng nervously, fearing that something might happen to him.

Bang Geng lowered his head and said nothing.

Soon, everyone searched Qin Huairu's home.

Qin Huairu stood at the door, nervously waiting for the result, praying silently in her heart, hoping that the movie's focus was not here.

However, when the search was over and it was announced that no film had been found, Qin Huairu did not feel relieved.

This is only a temporary calm, the real test is yet to come.

At this moment, Xu Damao suddenly stood up and said loudly: "No, this search is too hasty. We must search again to make sure there is nothing missed!"

The search operation was like a ignited flame, stirring up waves in everyone's hearts.

Qin Huairu stood aside, her hands clenched tightly, her nails digging deeply into her palms, but she felt no pain at all.

She looked at her son Banggeng, her eyes filled with complex emotions - worry, anxiety, and deep helplessness.

Xu Damao stood in the crowd with a smug smile on his face, like a cunning fox waiting for his prey to fall into the trap.

His eyes swept over Qin Huairu from time to time, as if he could see through every subtle change in her heart.

Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, Lou Xiao'e suddenly stood up.
