The Cycle of Reincarnation in the Four-Courtyard House: A Journey Through the Heavens

When Li Xiao heard the name Yi Zhonghai, a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"You can get out now!"

"Yes, yes, I'll leave right away, I'll leave right away!"

Zhao Erhe was so frightened that he ran away in a panic.

Li Xiao looked at Koizumi Shozo and said, "I don't want to see Yi Zhonghai again starting tomorrow! You... understand?"

"Hai!"

Koizumi Shozo immediately stood at attention and bowed deeply to Li Xiao.

"You should leave too!"

Koizumi Shozo looked at Lou Zhenhua with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Lou Zhenhua coughed lightly and said, "Commander Koizumi, I don't know where you heard that I have a relationship with Ship King Xu."

"To be honest, I've only been to Hong Kong once so far, and that was to import a batch of steelmaking equipment. So I chartered two cargo ships from Mr. Xu's shipyard. I've never even met Mr. Xu, so how could we have any connection?"

Koizumi Shozo then understood the reason and nodded, saying, "I understand. I apologize for disturbing you today, Mr. Lou!"

"fine!"

Lou Zhenhua smiled and waved his hand.

Lou Zhenhua finally breathed a sigh of relief after the group of Japanese soldiers left.

"Little Li! I really owe you everything today. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened tonight!"

Li Xiao's expression softened: "Uncle Lou, you're too kind. You invited my sister-in-law and Qianqian to the eldest son's birthday banquet because you treat them like family. Tonight's incident was just an accident."

After chatting in the banquet hall for a while, Li Xiao prepared to take his leave, and Lou Zhenhua immediately instructed Xu Fugui to drive them back.

When they got home, Wang Xia and Qin Huairu were sitting anxiously in the living room. When they saw Li Xiao return with his men, Wang Xia immediately went to greet them.

"Xiao'er, what happened tonight?"

Li Xiao said to Liu Qianqian and her younger siblings, "You two go inside with Huai Ru first, I'll talk to Mom for a bit!"

Li Feng and Li Qian nodded obediently. They looked at Qin Huairu with some curiosity, but didn't say anything more.

Liu Qianqian seemed to understand something. She took Qin Huairu's hand and walked directly towards the east wing.

Li Xiao took a big gulp of hot tea before telling his mother everything that had happened that night.

Wang Xia turned pale upon hearing this; she never imagined that such a dangerous scene would unfold at Lou Zhenhua's house tonight.

"Xiao'er, are you saying that Yi Zhonghai deliberately leaked Qianqian's information to the Japanese?"

"That's right. I know a bit about this Koizumi Shozo. His biggest characteristic is that he's a womanizer. I don't know how many women he's defiled."

"If the timing hadn't been so inconvenient tonight, I would have taken it down immediately!"

If he kills this Japanese soldier at Lou Zhenhua's house tonight, not only will the Lou family be implicated, but it will also alarm the Japanese North China Area Army Command and the Military Police Command.

The Japanese are currently facing logistical difficulties, and Koizumi Shozo's location is extremely important. If he were to suddenly die at Lou Zhenhua's house, the Japanese would definitely conduct a thorough investigation, and his identity as "Shimada Hideo" might be exposed.

"Xiao'er, you did the right thing. Boss Lou has helped our family a lot over the past year, we can't let him suffer!"

At this point, Wang Xia gritted her teeth and cursed, "That Yi Zhonghai is really wicked! He actually told the Japanese about Qianqian's situation. It seems he can't stand to see our family doing well!"

Li Xiao said with a chilling smile, "Mother, you don't need to curse him anymore. That bastard won't live past tomorrow!"

"what!"

......

The next morning, after having breakfast at home, Yi Zhonghai followed Liu Haizhong and Jia Daniu toward the steel rolling mill.

Upon arriving at the workshop, foreman Zhao Erhe went straight to Yi Zhonghai and said, "Old Yi, Koizumi-sama is waiting for you in the factory manager's office. Hurry up and go!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed: "Could it be that Koizumi has already succeeded?"

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of this.

Before Li Xiao's family moved to No. 95 courtyard, he was quite respected in the courtyard.

His salary was the highest in the entire courtyard, and he also had the protection of the deaf old lady who was the landlord of the courtyard. No one in the courtyard dared to disobey him.

This is Li Xiao's family. Ever since they moved in, they've completely disregarded him.

When Yi Zhonghai first saw Wang Xia, he felt a stirring in his heart.

With his income these days, he could afford to marry another woman. Besides, his wife takes care of the deaf old lady every day, and the old lady isn't stingy. She would occasionally give Gao Yulan some jewelry or small yellow croakers to bring back.

Nowadays, Yi Zhonghai is considered quite wealthy in the entire Nanluoguxiang area.

Who knew that Li Xiao and Wang Xia didn't take him seriously at all. Every time they met, they wouldn't even greet him, completely ignoring his existence.

Later, to avoid trouble, the Li family even opened a separate gate on the south wall of the east courtyard, which made their intentions very clear—to completely sever ties with each other.

After learning that Li Xiao was a shareholder of Zhengyangchun Restaurant, Yi Zhonghai realized that the Li family was not short of money, and that it was impossible to get Wang Xia through money.

After careful consideration, he realized that the only way to take revenge on the Li family was through the Japanese.

Yi Zhonghai knew that Koizumi Shozo, the current manager of the steel plant, was a lecherous devil, and he immediately thought of Liu Qianqian, who was already engaged to Li Xiao.

Since arriving at the Li family, this girl, with ample nutrition, has grown increasingly attractive in appearance and figure. Yi Zhonghai, who has lived for nearly forty years, has never seen a woman with such exquisite beauty.

Yi Zhonghai was even more consumed by jealousy.

Why does all the good things go to the Li family? That bastard Li Xiao is always going against me, and I can't do anything about him. In the future, I'll be able to marry such a beautiful wife!

Several times when the Japanese came to search, that kid always had a way of easily getting through. Although he knew some inside information, he didn't dare to tell the Japanese in public in the courtyard that the women of the Li family all wore makeup.

That would not only confirm his status as a traitor, but would also invite Li Xiao's furious retaliation.

What Yi Zhonghai feared most was that Li Xiao, this scoundrel, actually had a close relationship with Lou Zhenhua, the boss of their factory.

I don't know how Li Xiao got to know Boss Lou.

Since Miss Lou's birthday a few months ago, the Lou family has frequently sent cars to invite the Li family to their residence. It is said that Miss Lou has also become good friends with the two girls, Liu Qianqian and Li Qian.

As a worker at Lou's Steel Plant, he naturally dared not openly cause trouble for the Li family.

Just a few days ago, he overheard Zhao Erhe, the workshop foreman, saying that the Japanese soldier in the factory named Koizumi Shozo was extremely lecherous, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
