Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): Don't touch my parents!

"Oh, Zhu'er."

Chen Shuxiang sighed deeply and explained to her son with a helpless expression.

"The police came so suddenly, we didn't have time to prepare."

"Right now, all we can do is spend money to avoid further trouble. We just hope our family can stay safe and peaceful."

"But isn't this giving too much?"

He Yuzhu felt very reluctant and muttered to himself in a low voice.

"In this chaotic world of war, do you think they can easily let us live in peace without some bloodshed?"

Chen Shuxiang's tone was full of exhaustion and resentment.

"Your father earns money by cooking for people at Fengzeyuan Restaurant, and these black-skinned dogs know it very well."

"They dare to extort us so blatantly because they've targeted our family."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu could only curse inwardly.

A bunch of traitors who eat their own flesh and bully the people!

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea has passed.

He Daqing pushed open the door and walked in, bringing with him the chill of the outside air.

As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't help but lower his voice and start cursing.

"Finally, we've gotten rid of those bastards!"

"Did they give the old lady a hard time?"

Chen Shuxiang quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.

They just gave him a silver dollar and sent him on his way.

He Daqing said in an annoyed tone.

"That guy with the surname Duo really has a long reach."

"I almost rushed into the house to search for the person just now."

"Alright, it's already pretty good that you can get rid of them with money."

Chen Shuxiang quickly tried to persuade him, not wanting to upset her husband any further.

"As long as the old lady isn't frightened, that's better than anything else."

"No, that old woman has seen all sorts of storms."

He Daqing waved his hand, his tone softening slightly.

"He remained calm in the face of the situation and didn't panic at all."

"By the way, what exactly happened?"

Chen Shuxiang still felt lingering fear when she recalled the scene just now.

"Judging from the commotion outside, they're probably searching every house."

I tentatively asked a few questions, trying to get the information out of the box.

He Daqing lowered his voice and answered cautiously.

"That Master Duo is very tight-lipped; he didn't reveal a single useful word."

"Judging from the situation tonight, it's likely that another Japanese soldier has died."

"And I also heard that the person was stripped naked."

They threw him naked right at the entrance of their police station.

When He Daqing talked about this, a hint of schadenfreude unconsciously appeared on his face.

He Yuzhu stood aside, secretly muttering to himself.

What's wrong with this system?

Why did you have to make me cause such a big commotion? What are you trying to do?

"Sigh, this world."

Chen Shuxiang sighed deeply, her face filled with sorrow.

"No matter what happens, it's always us powerless, ordinary people who suffer."

"you do not say!"

He Daqing nodded in agreement, then looked at his son.

"Zhu Zi, are you going to sleep in your own room tonight, or will you squeeze in with us?"

Seeing that his son was still young, he was afraid that he would be frightened by the events of the night and dared not sleep alone.

So I asked him one more question, hoping to put his mind at ease.

"I'm going back to my room to sleep; the blankets there are probably still warm."

He Yuzhu shook his head and answered.

"Alright, you've got some nerve, just like me back in the day!"

He Daqing reached out and patted He Yuzhu's head with satisfaction.

"hey-hey!"

He Yuzhu grinned foolishly and turned to walk outside.

He Daqing followed behind him and gently closed the door behind him.

He Yuzhu had just stepped out of the house.

Immediately, Jia Zhangshi's sharp and sarcastic curses could be heard coming from the Jia family courtyard.

The sound was extremely penetrating; it could be heard clearly even through the courtyard wall.

"Those damned black-skinned dogs, that was a whole silver dollar!"

"That's a real silver dollar! How many kilograms of meat could that buy for my Dongxu!"

"Old Jia, you useless coward! How come you obediently hand over your money as soon as someone threatens you!"

"Mother, didn't you hand over that money yourself? Why are you blaming my father now?"

He Yuzhu stood there, rolling his eyes as he listened.

"I'll beat you to death, you heartless ingrate!"

Jia Zhangshi's curses became increasingly fierce and harsh.

"Alright, if we don't offer some incentive, they might really arrest us and put us in jail."

Jia Laonian, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't help but interject.

Although his voice was not loud, it was full of helplessness and frustration.

"What will you and your daughter do then?"

Immediately afterwards, Jia Zhangshi's heart-wrenching wails rang out again.

The crying was a heartfelt cry of pain.

The wealth I painstakingly accumulated little by little.

It would be hard for anyone to accept that it was taken away so easily.

He Yuzhu's lips curled into a mocking sneer.

He couldn't be bothered to listen to the Jia family's argument any longer and walked straight towards his own side room.

Lying back on his bed, He Yuzhu's mind was in turmoil.

He couldn't help but ponder it in his mind.

Yi Zhonghai has always been a kind-hearted person.

Logically, in such a chaotic situation, shouldn't he be the one running around, helping to smooth things over and mediate?

Why haven't I seen a single person tonight?

Was it because he wasn't thick-skinned enough back then?

Or is it that the soul of the "Moral God" who was later praised by everyone has not yet fully awakened?

If Yi Zhonghai could hear his inner thoughts at this moment.

She would definitely put on a serious expression and slowly reply to him.

Sha Zhu, don't worry, it's not that I don't want to show up.

It's just that the time isn't right yet; we need to wait for the most suitable opportunity.

As for the "body dumped at the police station" incident that He Yuzhu couldn't understand,

This sudden upheaval had already stirred up the entire night in Beiping.

Several secret strongholds set up by the Kuomintang in the city were successively destroyed.

Gunshots and grenade explosions mingled together along the long street.

The sound rang intermittently for almost the entire night.

Since the Kuomintang has made a big move.

The Communist Party, lurking in the shadows, was naturally not idle either.

Although their respective hiding places have not yet been exposed.

But we were comrades who fought against Japan and saved the country.

It is only right and proper to lend a helping hand in times like these.

That night, outside, a storm was brewing, and bloodshed was raging.

He Yuzhu, lost in his own chaotic thoughts, was naturally unaware of this.

He lay quietly on the bed and casually opened the "Pistol Mastery" skill interface in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of drowsiness swept over me.

He drifted into a strange and inexplicable "dream".

He slept exceptionally soundly and peacefully that night.

It could even be described as exhilarating and relaxing.

In the dream, an instructor with an indistinct face held him tightly.

We spent most of the night playing around at an unknown, empty shooting range.
