Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

Everyone thinks that Bang Geng has always stayed by Qin Huairu's side and has never left, so who could it be?

"Old man, I can't remember."

An older woman choked up as she spoke, and Yi Zhonghai sighed.

"You go call the police, I'll go and tell everyone to gather. Let's split up."

Then, Yi Zhonghai rushed to Sha Zhu's house in a great hurry.

"Zhu Zi, something terrible has happened!"

"What's wrong, old man?"

Sha Zhu looked completely bewildered. He was just about to go to the backyard to call his girlfriend back, but what kind of behavior was this!

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath.

"An old man's house was burgled, and all his savings were stolen!"

"what?"

Sha Zhu stared wide-eyed in surprise.

This is an old man's house, who would dare to be so bold?

"Zhu Zi, go and gather everyone together for a hospital-wide meeting."

"That thief most likely did it while we were having a meeting in the front yard."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Without saying a word, Sha Zhu immediately took action.

Meanwhile, in the main house in the backyard, Zhao De was taking out a new cotton quilt and handing it to Yu Shui.

After all, she's a young woman, and he felt embarrassed to let her use his old things.

He Yushui thanked him with a flushed face, and she really decided to stay at Brother Zhao's house for the night.

Just then, the gate issued an urgent warning: "Warning! Warning! Someone is predicted to kick the door in ten seconds. Please call for help immediately! Please call for help immediately!"

Seeing that Zhao De was still standing there, the gatekeeper quickly changed the message.

"Master, have you forgotten about Yan Jiecheng?"

"That idiot Zhu will come and kick the door in a minute. Even though he's kicking me, he's actually slapping you in the face!"

"Master, open the door quickly! Sha Zhu is coming soon. If you open the door now, it will be a waste of your energy if he kicks it."

Zhao De immediately realized what was happening, quickly went over to open the door, and then nimbly slipped to the side.

"Ouch!"

Just as Sha Zhu had predicted, he kicked the door. But when Zhao De opened the door, his foot suddenly slipped, and as a result, one of his legs went inside while the other remained outside.

He unexpectedly completed a difficult move—a split—and the pain brought tears to his eyes.

"elder brother!"

He Yushui cried out in surprise, only then did she come to her senses.

"Silly Zhu, what are you doing? Practicing dancing?"

Zhao De couldn't hide his smile as he spoke. Indeed, Sha Zhu had no time to pay attention to him; the pain made him gasp for breath, and his features were all contorted in pain.

"You tricked me, I'll hold you accountable for this, just you wait!"

Of course, Sha Zhu had to blame Zhao De for this; after all, he had suddenly opened the door.

"Hey, you've gone bad following Xu Damao's example, haven't you?"

"What does this have to do with me! I just wanted to open the door for some fresh air, I had no idea you were coming in."

"No, I never expected you to kick the door."

"Besides, can't you knock if you don't have hands? What's with your lack of manners?"

Faced with Zhao De's words, Sha Zhu had no choice but to acquiesce and did not refute them.

"An old man's house has been robbed of all his money, so we need to hold a meeting for the whole courtyard."

"You have to go there now, we're just missing you."

Sha Zhu was still in a lot of pain and could only speak intermittently. Zhao De originally didn't want to go, after all, they had already broken off relations.

Furthermore, he had just returned from outside and was in a meeting in the front yard, so there was no suspicion whatsoever.

However, he was indeed very curious about how much money Yi Zhonghai had lost.

Therefore, he did not refuse to attend the conference. Seeing that Zhao De had agreed, Sha Zhu glared at his sister who was helping him get up.

He started scolding her as soon as he opened his mouth, and even made veiled accusations.

"Don't you have a bed at home? Why do you have to come to this shabby place to sleep?! How can you possibly sleep well here?!"

Have you ever heard the saying, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black"? You've wasted your education!

He noticed the newly made bedding on the bed, but there seemed to be no negative effects from doing so.

He Yushui was only a high school sophomore, and he probably wouldn't want to offend Zhao De. He Yushui, in the throes of adolescence, was seething with anger and immediately retorted:

"Anyway, I'm not going back. I'm going to sleep here tonight."

"you!"

Sha Zhu was about to continue scolding him, but Zhao De objected.

"Hey Sha Zhu, you can't say anything nice, can you?"

Sha Zhu was about to roll up his sleeves and teach Zhao De a lesson, but he was stunned when he heard what Zhao De said next.

"Look at how you treat Yi Zhonghai like a dog. Do you think he's good to you?"

"Do you know that your father, He Daqing, sends money home to you every month, but Yi Zhonghai intercepts it all!"

"You've been scammed and you're still helping them count the money!"

Zhao De suddenly remembered; he had almost forgotten.

But if we tell him this and Sha Zhu still doesn't understand, then we can only try to send him to the Northwest to reclaim wasteland.

After all, the grudges between him and Sha Zhu were just minor frictions.

The key is to completely thwart the schemes of the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai, and the Jia family.

Seeing the shifting expressions on Sha Zhu's face, Zhao De continued, "Sha Zhu, think about it carefully. Doesn't Yi Zhonghai sometimes give you money? But not every month, right?"

"Brother, is that really true?"

He Yushui was completely unaware of this and quickly pressed for details.

Both of their eyes were fixed on Sha Zhu, who slowly nodded, acknowledging the matter.

Just as I thought!

He Yushui's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with anger.

Zhao De said with a sympathetic look, "Do you know that your dad has a unique skill that allows him to make money anywhere!"

"Even if you're hosting a banquet for someone outside, even if you only cook one meal a day, you only charge one yuan per meal."

"That adds up to thirty yuan a month!"

"Needless to say, this money was definitely embezzled by Yi Zhonghai."

"I can assure you that if you go and ask Yi Zhonghai and question him about this matter..."

"He'll definitely say it's to save up for your future wife, or to prepare a dowry for He Yushui."

Zhao De was taken aback when he saw the change in Sha Zhu's expression.

"Oh dear, you don't actually believe he would do that, do you?"

"That's not impossible!"

Sha Zhu seemed somewhat uncertain, so Zhao De turned to He Yushui.

"Rain, it seems your brother is beyond saving!"

Seeing He Yushui nod in deep agreement, Zhao De turned his gaze away and said to Sha Zhu:

"How about this, you go on a blind date tomorrow and see if he brings it up on his own initiative."

"If he doesn't bring it up, then I don't need to say anything more!"

Sha Zhu initially thought the suggestion made sense, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

"But now, this old man's savings have all been stolen!"

Zhao De slapped his forehead. "Yeah, it's all Xu Damao's fault. He was about to convince Sha Zhu."

Wait a minute, Zhao De had a sudden inspiration and immediately burst into laughter.

"I've got it, we can do it this way."

"Go find Yi Zhonghai now and ask him if all the stolen savings were his."

"Don't ask if there's a share for you in it. Just ask him, and he might admit it."
