Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

Qin Jingru laughed, unexpectedly waking Banggeng and Huaihua Xiaodang.

The three children, their eyes still blurry, peeked out from under the covers and looked at their aunt and mother, asking questions in confusion.

"Mom, Auntie, it's so cold, are you two going to take your clothes off and fight?"

Bang Geng really couldn't understand this logic. Isn't it better to be warm and cozy in bed?

Why do they have to fight with their bellies exposed? Do they think that will keep them warm?

"What do you know? Mom and Auntie are exercising."

Xiao Dang rebuts the stick joke.

"Who exercises so late at night? You two, stop fighting. It's Sunday, and I want to sleep."

That's what Bang Geng said, but his eyes were darting around. Ever since he grew up, he had never slept in the same bed with Qin Huairu.

He truly hadn't expected that women looked like this.

When Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru heard the two children's questions, they were so frightened that they quickly burrowed into the quilt.

What kind of image does this project in front of children?

Qin Huairu, in particular, flirted with men, and some of the rumors reached Bang Geng's ears.

Even at a young age, Bang Geng clearly sensed that what others were saying was not kind, and he would fight with them whenever they mentioned it.

"Bang Geng, Xiao Dang, don't talk nonsense after you two leave."

Especially Qin Jingru, who is still a virgin. Although Bang Geng is only 10 years old, it would still be inappropriate for him to see her like that.

Bang Geng instinctively felt that this was not a good thing, and involuntarily thought of the rumors he usually heard.

He snorted, then turned away without saying a word.

Xiao Dang blushed deeply. They were both girls, but her mother and aunt looked completely different from her. It was so embarrassing to see them looking like that.

"Mom, Auntie, you two are really shameless."

In a moment of panic, Xiao Dang actually said such a thing, which made Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru feel extremely ashamed.

Qin Huairu adopted a parental demeanor and scolded Xiao Dang.

"You brat, I'm your mother! How dare you talk to your mother like that?"

"You two should go to sleep."

Qin Huairu's family only had two rooms in total. The outer room contained a coal stove and some simple furniture.

They all slept on the same large bed, sharing a single kang (heated brick bed)...

After settling the two people in, Qin Jingru glanced unintentionally out the window.

"Sis, Li Jianjun went to the bathroom..."

Qin Jingru sensed her opportunity had arrived, so she quickly put on her clothes and rushed out.

Banggeng and Xiaodang were still awake at this time, and asked Qin Huairu curiously.

"Mom, Li Jianjun went to the toilet. What's my aunt doing outside?"

"Does this mean men and women can use the same toilet?"

Bang Geng was asking a question out of ignorance, but he left Qin Huairu completely bewildered. How should she answer?

"No, no, your aunt has something to discuss with Li Jianjun. Don't tell me anything after you two leave. Go to sleep."

Qin Jingru went out, but Qin Huairu can't go out too. What if these three children follow her?

After Qin Jingru left, she went straight to Li Jianjun's house. Taking advantage of Li Jianjun going to the toilet, she crawled onto Li Jianjun's bed.

After Li Jianjun groggily came out of the toilet, he went into the house, but once he got into bed, he felt something was wrong.

Suddenly there was someone in the bed...

……

Among the residents of the courtyard house, Yi Zhonghai and his wife were still awake.

Ever since Sha Zhu was arrested, the couple has lived in constant fear.

"Old Yi, do you think that kid Zhuzi won't betray you?"

Yi Zhonghai puffed on his pipe, pondering the matter in his mind.

The sparks flickered in the darkness, and it took a long time before Yi Zhonghai finally comforted the old woman.

"Don't worry, I was prepared for this from the beginning, so when I discussed this with Zhu Zi, there was no one else present."

"Besides, even if the pillar couldn't hold on and gave me away, no one would believe it."

“He made baseless accusations that I ordered him to do it, without any evidence.”

The older woman was skeptical, after all, the story had already spread throughout the entire courtyard.

Li Jianjun even had Ma Sijiu and Li Weiguo spread the word that once the mastermind was caught, they would definitely not let him go.

“This Li Jianjun is about to be promoted to deputy director level, and he’s way ahead of you.”

"Even if you can get away with this, your life won't be easy from now on."

Yi Zhonghai knew he had a grudge against Li Jianjun, and even if he wanted to appease him, it was impossible to reconcile.

So, I simply stopped thinking about it.

If we can get through this hurdle, we'll be thankful.

……

Yi Zhonghai and Xu Damao were also awake in the courtyard.

Despite their usual animosity, the two have teamed up again now that the situation is dire.

"Second Uncle, this matter is becoming increasingly uncertain."

"Li Jianjun said he wanted to catch the mastermind behind this, could it be you?"

Liu Haizhong snorted.

"Don't even think about messing with me, kid. My relationship with Sha Zhu is just so-so. We've argued more than once or twice."

"You know perfectly well who he's all in cahoots with, how could you possibly suspect me?"

Xu Damao's face revealed a kingly expression.

"Second Uncle, so you guessed who it was. Actually, everyone in the courtyard knows better than anyone else that Yi Zhonghai can't escape."

"But Yi Zhonghai is shrewd; this time, he might not be implicated."

"However, Li Jianjun's position at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is getting higher and higher. This is not a good thing."

"Besides, if things continue like this, Li Jianjun might be able to replace the two of you and take charge of things in our institute."

Liu Haizhong doesn't think so.

"He's just the head of the security department, he's good enough to manage the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, how could he possibly extend his reach into our courtyard?"

Xu Damao had ill intentions.

"That's hard to say. I was forced to clean toilets by Li Jianjun before, damn it, it was so embarrassing."

"When this person gets going, they can really go all out to ruin someone's life..."

Xu Damao's words enlightened Liu Haizhong.

"Da Mao, what do you suggest we do?"

Liu Haizhong knew that Xu Damao was usually cunning and scheming, so there was no way he would have no way to deal with Li Jianjun.

"That's easy. Li Jianjun is repairing radios and reselling them. That's a crime, isn't it?"

Liu Haizhong suddenly realized.

"So you mean we should jointly report Li Jianjun for committing speculation and profiteering?"

Xu Damao nodded, and the two of them understood each other without saying a word.

In this era, speculation and profiteering was a serious crime, which could lead to execution.

Those who commit the crime of stealing chickens and making a living by selling stolen goods are paraded through the streets with the stolen goods hanging on their bodies. If the circumstances are particularly serious, they are sentenced to death and the sentence is carried out immediately.

……

At this moment, Li Jianjun was completely bewildered.

Startled, I shuddered.

"Who?"

Who's in my bed?

Fearing that Li Jianjun's scream would attract attention and make her lose face, Qin Jingru quickly covered Li Jianjun's mouth.

"Brother Jianjun, it's me."

Li Jianjun then noticed that Qin Jingru's entire body was...

What is convex is convex, what is concave is concave.

The scenery was so stunning that Li Jianjun was dazzled.

This is not the first time Li Jianjun and Qin Jingru have done this.
