Courtyard House: The Frog Boy Brings Back a Genetic Potion at the Start

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui felt their stomachs churning.

Especially Liu Haizhong, watching those people perform so hard, felt a pang of envy in his heart—this scene was something he could only dream of.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward, adopting his usual air of a senior official, and began to explain the trivial matters of the holiday preparations one by one.

What Yi Zhonghai needs to do is to gradually regain the face and power he lost in the past.

Although many people in the courtyard were not convinced by him, they dared not be disrespectful on the surface because of Zhao Hai's backing.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's imposing manner, Liu Haizhong felt a tightness in his chest, his face turned ashen, as if he had just swallowed a piece of rotten flesh.

He thought he had already crushed Yi Zhonghai and was just one last push away from taking that old man's position.

Unexpectedly, before the other party had completely fallen, he took advantage of Zhao Hai's influence and firmly returned to his original position.

Liu Haizhong understood clearly: if this trend continued, Yi Zhonghai's prestige would likely be even greater than before.

Hao Jianguo didn't leave the house; he lay in the inner room with his wife in his arms, yet he heard every sound from outside.

He rolled his eyes silently and muttered a low sneer, "May Day."

He didn't have any problem with the festival itself, but he disapproved of Yi Zhonghai using the "May Day" as an excuse.

The elaborate setup—according to Yi Zhonghai's arrangement, everyone in the hospital had to get up before dawn, line up in the courtyard, and loudly swear an oath.

Hao Jianguo found it absurd; the formalism was just too overpowering.

However, he was too lazy to stop him.

The more trouble this group causes, the more laughable things will become in the future.

The deaf old lady and her group caused such a commotion that the whole courtyard was in chaos, with no peace for a moment.

The residents were furious, but they knew they couldn't do anything about Yi Zhonghai and his gang right now.

Helpless, we had no choice but to cooperate with their performance in the courtyard.

If there were anywhere else to complain, many people would have already reported this disturbance to the police station.

Fortunately, by noon, the deaf old lady finally waved her hand to disperse the crowd and stopped tormenting them.

"How can we live like this? If this goes on every day, how can people ever get a break?"

After they dispersed, many people murmured to themselves.

But no one dared to say these words aloud, for fear that the deaf old lady and the others would hear them and cause trouble again.

"I finally got a day off, and they ruined it all. I'd rather be at work."

"How did that old lady manage to snag such a capable grandson?"

Some people even considered moving out of the courtyard house, but of course, it was just a thought—these days, changing places of residence is not such an easy thing.

"That felt great! Today was truly great!"

Back in the deaf old lady's house, Sha Zhu and the others immediately started shouting, their faces beaming.

They haven't experienced being fawned over in a long time.

Yi Zhonghai was also somewhat dazed, and even secretly wondered: Should we do it again tomorrow?

But he knew when to stop.

Everyone has to go to work tomorrow. If we keep causing trouble like this, even with Zhao Hai backing us up, it might provoke a backlash from the entire hospital.

Sha Zhu paced back and forth in the room, so excited he could hardly stop.

The respectful attitude of everyone in the courtyard made him feel like he was walking on clouds.

Many people in the courtyard harbored resentment towards him, yet none dared to show even a hint of annoyance, which only fueled Sha Zhu's almost swelling sense of pleasure.

"See that? Today, those people were like a bunch of brainless puppets, letting us mold them however we wanted."

They used to laugh at me behind my back, didn't they? Now, they're all jumping around in front of me, like clowns putting on a show—who's the real fool here? Hahaha!

He burst into laughter, making no attempt to hide his arrogance.

Although he understood that if these words got out, they would surely cause resentment among the residents.

But right now they have the upper hand, and given Sha Zhu's personality, he wouldn't care what others think.

In his view, his own pleasure was the most important thing; the more frustrated and uncomfortable the people in the courtyard were, the more comfortable he felt.

In the past, Yi Zhonghai would have spoken up to dissuade him long ago.

But now Yi Zhonghai's thoughts coincide with those of Sha Zhu.

He stood to the side with his arms crossed, watching Sha Zhu's animated gestures with a smile.

Sha Zhu's words and actions at this moment resonated deeply with Yi Zhonghai, making him feel extremely pleased.

No one stopped him, and Sha Zhu's voice grew louder and louder, almost like a roar.

As he expected, the residents outside heard it, and although they were furious, they could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger.

In stark contrast to the joyous atmosphere inside was He Yushui, who sat on a small stool.

Her face was gloomy, and she would occasionally cast a resentful glance in the direction of the deaf old lady, clearly still thinking about Qin Huairu's matter.

She desperately wanted to persuade the old lady to go and plead with Zhao Hai to get Qin Huairu out of trouble as well.

But He Yushui knew in her heart that this was as difficult as climbing to heaven—if the old lady were willing to agree, Qin Huairu would have come out long ago.

For now, she can only wait for the right opportunity.

But then she thought that the key to solving this problem might lie with her mentally challenged brother.

He Yushui had already planned it out. She needed to find a suitable opportunity to have a good talk with Sha Zhu and have him personally beg the old lady.

She knew all too well that in the deaf old lady's heart, Sha Zhu held far more weight than she did.

As long as Sha Zhu speaks up, the old lady will most likely take action, even if she is unwilling.

The only thing that made He Yushui uneasy was the change in Sha Zhu's mentality.

Judging from the current situation, Sha Zhu probably also feels fear towards Qin Huairu—this is the last thing she wants to see.

"If you ask me, the reason this was able to succeed is ultimately because our old lady is very capable."

He Daqing suddenly walked up to the deaf old lady, gave her a thumbs up, and began to flatter her with a big smile.

He could see clearly that, in this courtyard now, the deaf old lady was the one whose words carried the most weight.

If you want to live comfortably, you have to make the old lady happy.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai immediately echoed his sentiments, showering him with compliments.

The two chatted back and forth, making the deaf old lady laugh from ear to ear.

She hadn't been this happy in a long time; at this moment, she felt as if she had truly become an absolute empress dowager.

"Those people are nothing but a bunch of clowns jumping around."

When Hao Jianguo was in power, they rushed to curry favor with him; now that we're in charge, they've turned around and are fawning over us—it's laughably stupid.

"Do they think that if they say a few nice things to me now, I'll give them a warm welcome?"

The deaf old woman gave a cold laugh, her voice devoid of any warmth.

The reason the deaf old lady hasn't dealt with those opportunists in the courtyard yet is simply to keep them around to cause trouble for Liu Haizhong and a few others.

She wanted the whole hospital to see clearly—as long as they were willing to curry favor with this deaf old woman, they would definitely reap the rewards.

As for those opportunists, none of them will escape in the future.

Ultimately, the old woman didn't see them as human beings at all; she just saw them as a group of useful tools.

Sha Zhu and the others knew exactly what the deaf old woman was thinking, and when they heard her say that, they all smiled knowingly.

Now they're just waiting to see those people in the courtyard make a fool of themselves.

"But Grandma... that Hao Jianguo, are we really not going to do anything about him for the time being?"

Sha Zhu suddenly interjected.

The thought that everyone in the hospital now shrinks back when they see them, while Hao Jianguo remains indifferent as if Zhao Hai's incident never happened, fills him with a sense of unease.

According to Sha Zhu, the person who should be most worried right now is Hao Jianguo—he has been opposing them all along, so how could he not know that they would never let him go after they gained power?

Hao Jianguo

As soon as those three words were uttered, the deaf old woman's face immediately darkened.

How could she let that person off the hook? She secretly wished he would suffer immediately.

"What's the rush? We were just giving them a warning and setting an example."

Next... we need to find a way to get him out of the factory.

The old woman gave a sinister smirk. "What's the point of killing someone so easily? It's more satisfying to cut flesh with a dull knife."

When Sha Zhu and the others heard this, their eyes lit up.

"That's right! Letting him die easily would be too good for him. We have to wear him down slowly, until he begs for death!"

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth, his words revealing a fierce determination.

He Yushui, who had been looking gloomy, suddenly brightened up as if she had come up with a brilliant idea—she had finally figured out how to save Qin Huairu.

After Hao Jianguo was brought down, she pinned all the blame on him for Qin Huairu's actions against Jia Dongxu, claiming that Qin Huairu was merely acting under his orders.

In this way, Qin Huairu would at most be considered an accomplice, and at least she wouldn't have to go to jail.

Thinking of this, He Yushui felt relieved, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

He Daqing and the others were all a little confused when they saw her suddenly become happy.

However, seeing that she looked a little more cheerful, they were all relieved.

"But that kid is meticulous in his work, and there's almost no way to find fault with him. It might not be easy to get rid of him."

Yi Zhonghai sighed.

They had dealt with Hao Jianguo before, but he had always easily thwarted their attempts.

Even when trying to outsmart him in the factory, he couldn't overcome his superior skills.

Yi Zhonghai knew that he had to come up with a comprehensive solution this time.

Otherwise, things might end up being a complete farce, not only failing to harm Hao Jianguo in the slightest but also making us a laughingstock.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, He Daqing chuckled softly, his expression revealing a hint of indifference.

"Grandpa, you've been bitten by a snake. You're terrified even to see the shadow of a rope."

He Daqing’s voice was calm, but his words were clear: “We were overthinking things before, and we made things complicated.”

Even your previous plans were probably hampered by too many concerns, which ultimately held you back.

He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the people in the room: "If you ask me, dealing with Hao Jianguo isn't that complicated. Right now, we have Leader Zhao by our side, aren't we? As long as we offer a pretext, and Leader Zhao nods in approval, that Hao guy will immediately have to fall off his post."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was taken aback at first, then a look of understanding slowly spread across his face.

He shook his head with a wry smile and patted his forehead.

"Look at my brain... I've been completely confused by Hao Jianguo's previous methods, and I still haven't fully come to my senses."

The old lady's own grandson is sitting right here. With such a powerful backer, do we really need to go through so much trouble to deal with Hao Jianguo?

After He Daqing's guidance, Yi Zhonghai felt his thoughts suddenly become clear, and even his speech became much more fluent:

"Besides, is Hao Jianguo himself clean? Think about how long he's been working at the factory. He's already been appointed workshop director and security director so quickly. There must be something fishy going on behind the scenes. If we start from here, we're sure we can catch him red-handed."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu, who was standing nearby, suddenly slapped his knee and almost jumped off the stool:

"Exactly! Hao Jianguo's only been here a few days, and he's climbed the ranks faster than anyone else! Who would believe there's nothing fishy going on? If you ask me, he must have secretly bribed the higher-ups, getting entangled in some shady dealings with the factory leaders!"

The thought of completely bringing down Hao Jianguo filled Sha Zhu with an overwhelming sense of joy; for him, nothing could be more exhilarating.

But He Daqing frowned slightly at this moment:

"But sir, didn't you mention before that Hao Jianguo's skills are indeed solid? Last time, in front of all the workers in the factory, his technique was not an act."

If he were to bring up the issue of "being promoted too quickly," many people in the factory would probably stand up and testify on his behalf.

Yi Zhonghai simply waved his hand, a confident smile playing on his lips:

"What's so difficult about that? His so-called 'superb skills' are nothing but a charade he put on in front of the workers, a pre-arranged act with certain people! Think about it, how old is Hao Jianguo? Even I, a master craftsman who's been doing this my whole life, wouldn't dare say I have his skills. Did he start learning metalworking from the womb? Who would believe that?"

After hearing this, He Daqing's last bit of worry disappeared, and he smiled instead.

Sha Zhu nodded repeatedly, eager to make the decision immediately:

"That's right! Hao Jianguo has definitely gone astray! He has no real skills, only knows how to engage in underhanded tactics, and he even tried to sabotage me at the factory—we absolutely have to ask Leader Zhao to uphold justice in this matter!"

He got angrier and angrier as he spoke, cursing and swearing, his indignant appearance making it seem as if he actually believed the story.

Just as they were getting into the exciting part, there were a few knocks on the door.
