1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chen Lanxiang quickly grabbed He Yuzhu and said gently and firmly: "Yuzhu, let's not be angry with this kind of person. I don't believe a word he said. I know you and I know you are a good person."

He Yuzhu looked at Chen Lanxiang with emotion, nodded heavily, and said, "Lanxiang, I feel more at ease with your words. I won't let him succeed."

He Yushui also stamped her feet angrily and said, "This Xu Damao is too much! Sister-in-law, ignore him."

Chen Lanxiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let him affect our mood. We still have to register for marriage tomorrow. This is our big happy event."

He Yuzhu nodded, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself: "Xu Damao, I will remember this account first, and I will settle it with you sooner or later."

Xu Damao slipped back to his home dejectedly, looking as miserable as a defeated fighting cock.

In the east wing of the central courtyard, Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao's back in the dark and sighed deeply. This heavy sigh seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet courtyard.

Then he hurried out with a gloomy look and a heart full of worry.

Yi Zhonghai hurried all the way to the deaf old lady's residence in the backyard.

The room was dimly lit and filled with a decayed smell.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai stepped into the house, before he had time to catch his breath, he couldn't wait to speak: "Old lady, Sha Zhu is getting married!"

When the deaf old lady heard the news, her originally calm expression suddenly changed.

She frowned, her vicious eyes pierced Yi Zhonghai like sharp arrows, and angrily scolded him: "Xiao Yi, why haven't you done what I told you to do?"

Beads of sweat appeared on Yi Zhonghai's forehead instantly, and he hurriedly explained: "Old lady, I really didn't slack off! I had already found Boss Hu and paid him. He patted his chest and promised to get things done for us.

But these days, I have been looking for him everywhere, but I can't find him. I don't know what went wrong."

The deaf old lady's eyes became more and more fierce, as if they could pierce through people: "If this is really the case, this matter is definitely not simple!"

Yi Zhonghai was startled and stood up with a trembling voice, "Old lady, no way? I have never encountered such a situation in all these years."

The deaf old lady's face was as gloomy as water, and she said in a cold tone: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the one. If there is really a mistake on the part of Boss Hu, we must prepare for it in advance and make a perfect response plan in advance!"

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai woke up as if from a dream and realized the seriousness of the matter belatedly.

His back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, his eyes were full of panic, and he said at a loss: "Old lady, what should we do next?"

The deaf old lady remained silent, lost in thought in the dim room.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing, as if even the air had frozen.

After a long time, the old lady finally spoke slowly, her voice low and solemn: "Don't act rashly for now. You must be careful in your words and actions these days, and don't reveal any flaws, so as not to alert the enemy. I need to inform the people above..."

Yi Zhonghai left the deaf old lady's house with slow steps, his heavy steps seemed to be dragged by invisible shackles.

His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes emitted a sinister and vicious light, as if he wanted to devour everything in front of him.

Once, in his dark and treacherous mind, Jia Dongxu was regarded as the key chess piece for retirement, and He Yuzhu was the bottom-line insurance card.

He was complacent in thinking that this carefully planned chess game was flawless, and was certain that he could control their every move like puppets, making these two people obediently become tools for him to drive at will in his later years.

But at that moment, the cruel reality was like a powerful punch, which made him dizzy and see stars.

The instigator of all this is the existence of Li Dajiang's family.

It was because of their existence that his originally flawless plan became full of loopholes and is now a mess. He also slowly lost control of the Siheyuan.

This out-of-control situation made Yi Zhonghai's anger burn to the extreme. His teeth were chattering and his heart was filled with resentful curses.

"How dare you, the Li family, ruin my plans! I, Yi Zhonghai, have been working hard in this courtyard for many years. How can I allow you to destroy my plans so easily!"

He secretly swore in his heart that he would make them pay a heavy price for their "troublemaking".

"Since the soft approach doesn't work, let's use the hard approach."

His eyes flashed with a venomous light, "I will deal with you one by one and make you pay the price. Especially Li Dajiang, I will let you know what regret is."

All sorts of sinister and vicious schemes quickly formed in his mind, and his distorted face looked even more hideous and terrifying in the shadows.

He would never willingly admit defeat, nor would he easily let go of the Li family members who dared to destroy his plan.

The Li family’s front yard.

After dinner, Li Weiguo couldn't help but recall Yi Zhonghai's vicious and cruel eyes during the day, and a bad premonition suddenly came to his mind.

He knew very well that Yi Zhonghai would never be willing to see his carefully planned retirement plan destroyed. Given Yi Zhonghai's personality, he would definitely not let it go and might even take revenge at any time.

The more Li Weiguo thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't take it lightly. He decided to go to the Central Courtyard at night to check out the situation and secretly guard against Yi Zhonghaigou doing something extreme in desperation.

So, after dinner, Li Weiguo picked up a bucket and pretended to go to the central courtyard to fetch water.

He seemed to be walking into the middle courtyard casually, but in fact he was observing the movements around him with sharp eyes.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Li Weiguo quietly came to the pool with a bucket.

He secretly activated his invincible treasure hunting function, wanting to check the situation in Yi Zhonghai's home.

He wouldn't have known until he checked, and he was really surprised when he did.

I really didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai's family background was so rich.

He found a passbook showing Yi Zhonghai's savings of 2,356 yuan over the years, and 315 yuan in cash casually placed in the drawer.

What made Li Weiguo most excited was that there was actually a small yellow croaker inside.

This discovery made his heart beat faster and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Li Weiguo did not hesitate at all. Under the dim moonlight, he quickly put the money of Yi Zhonghai's family into his own invincible storage space.

As for the passbook, he didn't take it. Even if he did, he couldn't withdraw it. He would never do such a risky thing.

After succeeding, he tried hard to calm his excitement, pretended nothing had happened, and walked out of the courtyard slowly carrying the bucket.

Li Weiguo knew clearly that with Yi Zhonghai's temper, he would not let go of the matter of Sha Zhu easily, and if Yi Zhonghai wanted to take revenge, he would never do it himself but would definitely hire someone else.

If he had no cash left, he would have to wait until daybreak to get the money.

In this way, Yi Zhonghai will not interfere with Sha Zhu's affairs, and Yi Zhonghai can only postpone doing bad things until the next day.
