Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2492 Silly Pillar Zhang is Here

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, who had disappeared for several days, have returned to Nanluoguxiang.

"Shazhu, Xu Damao, weren't you missing?" The neighbors on the street were shocked when they saw them.

The Jia family went out to inquire about Sha Zhu, but they found out nothing.

People nearby noticed that Sha Zhu had disappeared and assumed that the Jia family had kicked him out again.

So people came to inquire.

The Jia family will definitely not admit it; they will simply say that Sha Zhu has disappeared.

This is also what they truly think.

They'd love for someone to steal old men, and they'd like to steal both Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

It's a pity that while there are people who steal women and children, there are no people who steal old men.

"Who said we're missing?" Sha Zhu and Xu Damao immediately sensed something was wrong and asked at the same time.

"That's what people in your courtyard are saying. Some say Sha Zhu went to find Lou Xiao'e, others say Sha Zhu is like He Daqing, running off with a widow..."

Sha Zhu was furious upon hearing these words.

"It's another rumor spread by the Jia family."

"Not only the Jia family, but the Liu family and the Yan family also spoke up. By the way, Sha Zhu, where exactly did you all go?"

"We went on a trip. We went to Beidaihe." This was the reason they had agreed upon beforehand.

Before they returned, they were all specifically instructed not to leak any information.

To keep their secret, Li Jiang helped them fabricate a reason to go on a trip.

"Going on a trip?" The neighbor was a little skeptical: "Aren't you afraid the Jia family will sell the house if you go on a trip at this time?"

The neighbors couldn't understand why Sha Zhu had fallen out with the Jia family. After the falling out, the most important thing was naturally the issue of family property.

Sha Zhu wasn't home at that time; he was supposed to be keeping an eye on the house and the restaurant. How did he end up traveling?

Xu Damao explained with a smile, "We've only been away for a few days. It's not easy to find someone willing to pay for such a large courtyard house."

Besides, don't we still have our neighbors?

If someone wants to buy a house, wouldn't they come to the alley to inquire about it?

If they knew about the Jia family's affairs, they wouldn't dare to easily spend money to buy it, right?

"Of course. We'll definitely tell the truth about what the Jia family did." The people nearby all patted their chests and expressed their support.

Everyone knows now that courtyard houses are very valuable. It's one thing for Sha Zhu to get so many benefits from Lou Xiao'e, but after all, Sha Zhu is the father of Lou Xiao'e's son.

But what gives the Jia family the right?

The Jia family used to be far inferior to them.

Why did the Jia family suddenly become rich while they still had to live a hard life?

The Jia family, having received benefits, liked to keep them all to themselves.

The nursing home in Building 95 has provided no benefit whatsoever to its neighbors outside the building.

This behavior has long aroused public outrage.

Sha Zhu has a good relationship with the Jia family, so they can't do anything about it.

Now that Sha Zhu has fallen out with the Jia family, it's the perfect opportunity for everyone to kick him while he's down.

Xu Damao said, "So, Shazhu and I discussed it and decided to go out and have some fun while we're still in good health."

Don't be fooled by how rich Sha Zhu is; he's never left the capital in his entire life.

Once outside, they look like country bumpkins.

"That's because Yi Zhonghai was strict with Sha Zhu." Someone said, "I heard my dad say that when he was young, he wanted to hire Sha Zhu to cook, but he had to go to Shijingshan."

When Yi Zhonghai found out, he was unhappy that Sha Zhu would go, and only allowed Sha Zhu to host the banquet nearby.

"Who says otherwise? I remember back in the 80s, when Sha Zhu wanted to go to Hong Kong to see his son, Yi Zhonghai was not happy about it."

They're spreading rumors that Sha Zhu is heartless and wants to abandon the elderly in the compound.

……

Yi Zhonghai died, and he also fell out with Sha Zhu. Things that had been kept secret from everyone before were brought to light.

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu said, "You didn't say that before."

"As soon as I took office, I said I wanted to see my son, but you all went behind my back and said I was heartless."

"Can you blame us? It's your own fault for always listening to Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu."

Sha Zhu was about to say something when Xu Damao stopped him: "You have the nerve to talk about everyone. You had to believe what everyone told you back then."

“That’s right. You have to believe us when we tell you things.” People nearby echoed Xu Damao’s words.

Sha Zhu left the scene with an embarrassed expression.

Xu Damao said something to the crowd and then led his men to chase after them.

"Officer Han, how did we do just now?"

When Sha Zhu and Xu Damao left, there were six of them, but when they returned, there were seven. There was an extra young man in his thirties.

This young man is Han Yue, someone sent by his superiors to infiltrate the courtyard house.

Han Yue said, "Didn't we agree that you shouldn't call me Officer Han, just call me Han Yue? I'm the bodyguard you hired."

Don't let the Jia family find out.

"I'm sorry, I forgot." Xu Damao quickly apologized.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were just ordinary people, and they were so old, so Han Yue couldn't blame them.

Actually, he was both amused and exasperated when he received the task.

Who would have thought that such a big case, after so many years of investigation, would have yielded no results?

However, it was only because Sha Zhu wanted to take revenge on the Jia family that the truth was uncovered.

"It's alright. We're about to enter the courtyard house, just don't give anything away."

"Don't worry. I guarantee I won't be caught," Xu Damao said, patting his chest.

There was still a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Sha Zhu curled his lip: "All you do is talk big. I'd rather believe a sow can fly than believe your promises."

Xu Damao retorted without any politeness: "You still have the nerve to talk back to me."

Don't wait until you enter the courtyard house and see Qin Huairu, and then forget what your own surname is.

The two started arguing again.

Han Yue was too lazy to even try to persuade him.

In the few days since they met, the two have been constantly pointing out each other's shortcomings and blaming each other.

At first, he was worried that it would affect the mission, so he came up to mediate the fight.

Later, Yang Feng told him that the two had become mortal enemies because of Yi Zhonghai's instigation, and they often quarreled. It would be abnormal if they didn't quarrel more than ten times a day.

In order to avoid the Jia family finding out, he couldn't step in to mediate the fight.

The argument between the two attracted the attention of the neighbors, and also spread the news that they were going on vacation.

Their actions felt more natural, and everyone readily believed them without question.

Han Yue watched from the side, utterly astonished.

Spies like Mike are all cunning and shrewd.

Before he came, he was worried about how not to arouse Mike's suspicion.

In hindsight, his worries were unnecessary.

The people inside courtyard number 95 also received the news and all came out.

"Shazhu, Xu Damao, you're back." Liu Guangtian and the others were a little flustered when they saw the two of them.

In the past few days, Qin Huairu has done a lot of work for them by taking advantage of Sha Zhu's disappearance.

With the addition of the two Yan brothers who had already betrayed them, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu's stance also changed.

They had just made up their minds to help the Jia family when Sha Zhu and Xu Damao returned unharmed.

"You're back." Sha Zhu's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

On the way here, the two of them overheard their neighbors saying that the Liu brothers and the Yan brothers were also helping to spread rumors that were bad for them.

It's a sign that Sha Zhu has a good temper that he didn't immediately turn against them.

Liu Guangtian and the others, upon seeing the neighbors around them, guessed why Sha Zhu was angry, and felt even more embarrassed.

Before they could explain, Qin Huairu also came out of the courtyard.

Compared to Liu Guangtian and his group, Qin Huairu was far more skilled.

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu with deep affection and excitement. (End of Chapter)
