Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

Chapter 2191 Seeing things and missing people

The day of laughter and merriment at the courtyard house finally came to an end, while Tongzhi and Dazhuang at Jiudaowanzi had also recovered to a considerable extent over the past few days.

The two men were now wondering about one thing: if it wasn't Jia Zhangshi who delivered the message, then who was it that sent the message to Li Huaide?

This matter was so bizarre that the two guys couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried.

After much deliberation, they once again focused their attention on Little Hammer. Besides Jia Zhangshi, this kid was now the prime suspect; the two men thought it was possible that Zhou Tiechui had overheard their conversation! Such a possibility was indeed valid, after all, walls have ears!

Tong Zhijia

The two men smoked as they pondered how to find evidence that Zhou Tiechui was an undercover agent.

"Tongzi, how about we go check out our neighbor's room tomorrow after he leaves for work? We might find some clues..."

Tong Zhi and Da Zhuang are truly good brothers; now they've come to the same conclusion.

"No problem, this kid definitely has some kind of secret. But it's crucial that no one finds out..."

Da Zhuang gave a wicked smile and winked at the other person: "We're not stealing anything, we're investigating an inside job, what are we afraid of? The people in the compound will support us."

While some residents might object to other matters, everyone would support catching the mole. After all, the men, women, and children of Jiudaowan had all clashed with the residents of the courtyard. Catching the mole was everyone's responsibility…

"Okay, let's do it that way! That's a good reason."

Meanwhile, Zhou Tiechui next door was still in bed, reminiscing about his loved ones.

After covering his face with the treasure given to him by his master's wife, Zhou Tiechui... began to talk to himself again.

"My eldest sister still hasn't gone back to Beijing! Otherwise, I'll have Hanqing put in a good word for me and ask Secretary Lin to help me out. Da Zhuang's wife has a certain flirtatious streak; I might as well give her a try!"

While Da Zhuang was next door figuring out how to find evidence, Zhou Tiechui was starting to think about knitting him a hat.

Since Chang Siqi became pregnant, she told her younger brother Chang Hanqing that she had returned to her hometown of Jinling to rest during her pregnancy, so her two younger brothers have no idea that she is still in Beijing.

After a helpless sigh, Zhou Tiechui set his sights on Tong Zhi next door. After all, Fang Zhuoya needed to find out who had framed Ji Cheng.

"Damn it, are these two bastards some kind of unlucky scum reincarnated? Why are they getting beaten up every other day? It seems like they haven't had a good time in the last few years."

Zhou Tiechui was cursing at his neighbor in his own home, unaware that his neighbor, just across the wall, was currently discussing how to find his secrets.

Saturday

Steel rolling mill office building

Factory Director Yang arrived at Lin Chen's office early in the morning... but when he arrived, Ji Yunfeng had already arrived.

High-ranking officials have the magnanimity of high-ranking officials. Even though the two families were going to have a showdown that night, they were still cheerful when they met... After all, they were both their nephews, young and impetuous, and they couldn't control the young men.

"It's wonderful that Director Ji is here too!"

Good morning, Director Yang!

Lin Chen sat at his desk, leisurely sipping his own Da Hong Pao tea...

"Please, both of you, have a seat! If you ask me, let's just let it go today! You two uncles can go and talk things out with them. If there's anything that's bothering them, sit down and talk it over! How about I treat?"

Ji Yunfeng adjusted his glasses and looked at Director Yang with a smile.

“Secretary Lin, I’ve been trying to persuade him for days. Ji Cheng is so stubborn. Last time someone deliberately sent a bag of junk to his office, and now the whole hospital is laughing at him…”

Although Director Yang had something to hide, he believed that Ji Cheng and his wife were the ones who harmed his nephew first. So it was only natural for his family to retaliate!

What's wrong with you? You're allowed to set fires but we're not allowed to light lamps? The Yang family is determined to fight you. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, you know that?

Ultimately, this whole thing boils down to Yang Weimin's self-destructive behavior. If he had just kept to himself and not looked around so much... how could Secretary Lin have let Fang Zhuoya deal with him?

If Fang Zhuoya hadn't intervened, none of this mess would have happened. Old Yang shouldn't blame the brothel for being so treacherous if he doesn't properly discipline his nephew.

“Old Ji, we can’t just make things up without evidence. Actually, let the two young people have some fun if they want to! Anyway, with Secretary Lin watching over things, nothing will go wrong... At worst, they’ll just have to lie in bed for a couple of days, which will be a lesson for the young people.”

Lin Chen thought to himself, "I've already given you one last chance to cancel the competition, but you won't accept it, so you can't blame me."

The people in the compound haven't placed any bets these past few days, giving both sides a cooling-off period. Yang Laosan and his group also need time to think things through…

"Alright then! Whatever the outcome, if there's only suspicion without evidence, then let's not make any more noise unless there's solid proof."

Lin Chen said not to cause trouble without evidence, but with evidence, things might be different! And what if their respective allies clash...?

Jiudaowanzi

Tong Zhi and Da Zhuang still haven't gone to work. Now one of them is keeping watch while the other has started looking through the keyhole.

Two amateur locksmiths spent over two hours trying to pick the lock... Several women witnessed this, but they all claimed they were catching a traitor and wouldn't steal anything, so the women pretended not to see anything.

And so the two of them sneaked into the house and began searching...

As a result, Da Zhuang quickly found a pair of floral underwear under Zhou Tiechui's pillow, while Tong Zhi found a small notebook in the drawer.

However, he searched for a long time but still couldn't understand what it meant...

"Damn it, what kind of nonsense is this?! Da Zhuang, can you even understand it?"

After taking it, Da Zhuang frowned, flipped through it for a long time, and then shook his head.

The things Zhou Tiechui wrote in his notebook were so incomprehensible that even an ordinary person wouldn't understand them, let alone a person of exceptional talent.

Part of it was a record of his affair with Fang Zhuoya and the amount of money he gave to his teacher's wife. Several other records showed the expenses he incurred when he hired Li Laoba to beat up Tong Zhi and Da Zhuang, but he only remembered the dates and numbers. Who could possibly understand what this meant?

“I don’t understand either, let’s put it back first. Look at this, what is it? I remember that Jia Zhangshi wasn’t wearing it that day, so I asked her out of curiosity where her underwear went. Jia Zhangshi said she gave it away! We didn’t believe her at the time.”

Tong Zhi certainly remembered this. Jia Zhangshi said she wouldn't compromise on her clothing. The reason she gave them away was because she only wore brand-name items. They had sentimental value... a token of friendship!

They were going to give it to Tong Zhi and Da Zhuang, but it was a bit pricey. Neither of them wanted it, since they weren't really interested.

Forget about money, these two wouldn't even take the trouble.

"Blue background with white flowers? And it's a Rongji brand, what a coincidence! Could it be that Jia Zhangshi gave it to Zhou Tiechui?"
