Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

It was already dark and cold outside, so Bang Geng decided to stay at the guesthouse for the night and get a good night's sleep.

Unfortunately, he was not only a child, but also a child without a letter of introduction, so he was unable to enter the guesthouse.

Left with no other choice, Banggeng could only wander around outside. As he wandered, he became sleepy and his eyelids began to grow heavy.

But a series of hurried footsteps behind him instantly snapped him to his senses. He turned around, just as he was about to see what it was,

A sack was shoved over his head. He opened his mouth to scream for help, but then he smelled something like alcohol.

Immediately afterwards, he felt his legs go weak and his mind became hazy. Soon he fell into a deep sleep.

"Brother, this kid looks pretty old. Will he fetch a good price?"

"Don't worry, no matter what kind of goods are in my hands, I can take good care of them!"

The man threw down the sack, picked up the stick and walked forward casually, with a woman following behind him supporting the stick.

This scene is like a father carrying his sleeping son home on his back, with the mother following behind, afraid that the child might fall off.

Anyone who saw them would think they were a very happy family of three, and would never imagine that these two people were human traffickers despised by everyone.

Inside the courtyard, the police officers from the local police station were diligently recording the stories told by the crowd in their notebooks.

After surveying the area, Yang Zitao approached He Yuzhu and asked a question.

"He Yuzhu, this house of yours looks like it was set on fire. Have you offended anyone recently?"

"Also, I noticed you were looking for a kid named Banggeng. Do you think this fire is related to him?"

He Yuzhu was also thinking about this issue. To be honest, his most suspected suspect was Bang Geng, followed by Liu Guangfu.

Because of Qin Huairu's matter, this kid was shouting yesterday that he wanted to burn down his own house.

As for Liu Guangfu, he stripped Liu Guangfu naked and made him run naked in the street, so Liu Guangfu probably hates him to the extreme.

These two are just teenagers; it's not impossible for them to do something like burning down a house in a moment of impulse.

In the past, He Yuzhu might have covered up for Bang Geng, but now that Bang Geng is very likely to burn down his house, why would he continue to indulge him?

To be honest, the only thing He Yuzhu still had a sliver of hope for was to set fire to Bang Geng. It wasn't that He Yuzhu was dark-hearted, but rather that he was utterly disappointed in Bang Geng.

It is still unknown whether he can recover. If he cannot recover and Qin Huairu divorces him, how will he live in the future?

Given his current circumstances, it would already be difficult for him to find a wife. If something really goes wrong, I'm afraid no woman would be willing to marry him.

If He Yuzhu is only 930, he'll probably be a bachelor for life. Wouldn't Xu Damao and the others laugh at him to death?

If Bang Geng started the fire, even if he is young now, he will definitely have to go to jail for a few years.

Without the obstacle of the stick, there was less of a barrier between him and Qin Huairu. Xiao Dang and Huaihua, the two girls, still thought they hadn't gone astray yet.

If he educates himself properly, his life with Qin Huairu will definitely get better and better.

By the time the "banggeng" (a nickname for a male celebrity) comes out in a few years, the die will be cast, and his wife and daughter will all be his.

If Bang Geng accepts it, then fine, I won't mind having another son. But if he doesn't accept it, well, then he can go cool off somewhere else.

“Officer, I think Banggeng and Liu Guangfu from our backyard are highly suspicious.”

Liu Haizhong immediately became furious upon hearing this.

"Silly Zhu, stop talking nonsense."

“My Guangfu was really tricked by you yesterday. He developed a fever in the middle of the night and is still lying in bed at home.”

“I was the one who called people to help you put out the fire just now. Instead of thanking me, you’re accusing my son of arson.”

"Silly Zhu, I just want to ask you one question: have you lost your conscience?"

He Yuzhu felt a little uneasy. Indeed, Liu Haizhong's words made a lot of sense.

Despite the freezing weather, seeing Liu Haizhong covered in sweat, he figured the fire had nothing to do with their family.

"Second Uncle, please don't get angry."

"When the police officer asks me who I have a grudge against, am I not allowed to answer truthfully?"

“Yesterday I stripped Liu Guangfu naked and made him run around naked. That was a bit unethical of me.”

"To put it bluntly, it was a bit like bullying the younger one, but that's because he messed up my marriage plans first."

He Yuzhu regretted saying those words as soon as they were spoken, wondering why he had blurted out the truth.

Sure enough, as soon as He Yuzhu said those words, the way people looked at Liu Haizhong changed.

Liu Haizhong was cursing He Yuzhu in his heart. He stared at He Yuzhu with a dark face.

"Then you can't talk nonsense. If we're talking about grudges, who could be more vengeful than Bang Geng towards you?"

"You two were having sex in bed in the middle of the night, and this guy was using a cane to break your window. His hatred is probably much deeper than our Guangfu's."

"You know, that kid Banggeng is so immature. Doesn't he care if he scare you so badly you get sick?"

As soon as Liu Haizhong uttered those lewd words, the surrounding neighbors burst into laughter.

Some married women glanced at Sha Zhu a few times, and the bolder ones even made sarcastic remarks.

"Yeah, Shazhu, you weren't scared, were you?"

"Let me tell you, if anything really happens, you need to go to the hospital right away, don't delay."

"That's right, that's right. This concerns your lifelong happiness, so we can't be careless."

He Yuzhu felt incredibly angry when he heard this. These people's mouths were really nasty, and what was most hateful was that they were both nasty and accurate.

"Alright, stop joining in the commotion. If anyone does, I'll smash your windows tonight."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng rubbed his nose and laughed.

"Hey, Sha Zhu's getting anxious. Could it be that he was right?"

Just then, Qin Huairu, who had gone out to buy meat, returned and rushed into the central courtyard.

When Xiao Dang Huaihua saw her mother return, she immediately rushed over and nestled into Qin Huairu's arms on either side.

Qin Huairu hugged her two daughters and breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at her house, which was safe and sound.

Based on the information he had just received from his neighbors, Yang Zitao believed that Qin Huairu's son, Jia Geng, was a prime suspect in the crime.

"Qin Huairu, do you know where your Jia Geng has gone?"

Qin Huairu comforted her two daughters in her arms and looked up at Yang Zitao.

“I don’t know where he is now. I went out to buy meat, but there was none left on this side of the street, so I went to the next street.”

“I only heard about what happened in the compound when I first entered the compound, officer. My dog, Banggeng, would never set fire to anything.”

“I’m already married to He Yuzhu, and this house is his home too. Who would be so foolish as to burn down their own house?”

Liu Guangtian interrupted from the side.

"That's hard to say. Last night, your gang almost got into a fight with Sha Zhu. They were yelling at Sha Zhu to either divorce you or he would burn down the He family's house."

"Besides, Sha Zhu beat Bang Geng up. Who knows if he held a grudge and was provoked by you guys into doing such a rebellious thing?"

Qin Huairu said angrily.

"Liu Guangtian, don't listen to that nonsense."

"If there's any hatred, it's your Liu family that hates Sha Zhu. There were quite a few people in the yard who saw your brother run back naked yesterday."

“Your Liu family has always been unforgiving when you're in the right, and you can argue your way out of anything, even when you're wrong.”

"This time you haven't uttered a single word, not even a fart. I bet you're all holding back from burning the house down today!"

Liu Haizhong's face darkened, and Liu Guangtian immediately cursed.

"You're talking nonsense! We saved the He family's house."

"If it weren't for us, your Jia family would be the first to suffer when the north wind blows."

Qin Huairu raised her head and said.

"It's not uncommon for thieves to cry 'stop thief' in this society. Who knows if you set the fire first to get revenge, and then came to put out the fire to clear your name?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but speak up, but before he could say anything, Yang Zitao, a police officer standing to the side, spoke up.

"Alright, all of you, stop arguing. Our police station will investigate this matter. If there's nothing wrong, everyone can go home and do what they were doing."

The police eventually took He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu, and the rest of the Liu family, including the feverish Liu Guangfu, to the police station for questioning.

After a full day of investigation, the local police station confirmed Banggeng's escape when they left work in the afternoon.

Bang Geng was listed as an arson suspect by the local police station. Chief Wang reported this to his superiors and requested that an arrest warrant be issued for Jia Geng and that the warrant be published in the newspaper.

After the fire in the courtyard was extinguished, Cao Xu left and went directly to the Lou family's house.
