Taking advantage of the quieter noise, one could faintly hear Qin Huairu crying and shouting inside.

"Everyone, go find Xu Damao! He's taken all our money, and Banggeng is just his scapegoat! Xu Damao's running away, he's going to take a plane and escape! Everyone, go after him! Go after him!"

He Yuzhu wasn't the only one who heard this. Everyone shouted, "Go find Xu Damao! Go find Xu Damao! Go to the Health Code company to find him! Everyone go to the Health Code company to find him!"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu was also startled; was that old schemer Xu Damao going to run away?

He didn't have time to think about anything else. Before anyone could react, he used all his strength to stumble and stagger out of the courtyard.

At this moment, the crowd on the street was growing larger and larger. Many people had heard the news and were riding their bicycles towards this place. They didn't care about their bicycles anymore, just threw them against the wall and rushed towards the courtyard. Some people inside were even running out of the courtyard, creating chaos.

He Yuzhu glanced at the wall and saw several unlocked bicycles. He randomly hopped on one and sped off in one direction.

Chapter 129: If you're so capable, come and catch me from the heavens!

He Yuzhu naturally didn't head towards the police station. With such a commotion, the police station should have already notified them. Right now, he was heading towards the boss's house.

Qin Huairu's words just now jolted him awake. The source of this farce actually lay with Xu Damao, not with Qin Huairu's family or Banggengna; they were just insignificant people.

Just as Qin Huairu said, Banggeng was just a scapegoat. Xu Damao, that old scoundrel, was indeed still the same wicked guy to the core.

If he manages to escape after this scheme, many people will likely die, and countless families will be destroyed because of him.

On the way, He Yuzhu pondered for a long time and realized that he was not a good person either. If he really wanted to prevent this tragedy from happening, he would have conducted a thorough investigation and then begged the big shots with a resolute tone. Perhaps then, Health Treasure would not have developed so quickly and become so big.

However, I hesitated several times for many reasons.

In fact, He Yuzhu also has a dark side. When he stopped his second uncle and the others in the compound from joining Health Treasure, he was scolded severely. At that time, He Yuzhu thought that it would be good to let these people suffer a loss.

I'm just an ordinary person, with joys and sorrows. I also enjoy watching those smug people get cheated and wail in pain, which makes me happy. But when I actually see the tragedy of other people's families being destroyed, I feel a little guilty. This is the thinking of a normal person. I'm not that glorious and great!

He Yuzhu was also trying to find a way to salvage the situation. His advantage was that he knew a big shot and could inform him of Xu Damao's plan to run away as quickly as possible, so that he could find a way to catch Xu Damao.

If this guy runs away this time, who knows if he'll do it again next time? In the past six months, he's probably amassed hundreds of millions of dollars. If given a chance, he might actually be able to clean up his act in the future. Anything is possible.

Seeing the tragedy that befell Qin Huairu's family, He Yuzhu had no choice but to make plans for his own child. Xu Damao was his mortal enemy, and Bang Geng was in such a state that he didn't know if he could ever recover. But he certainly couldn't give him another chance.

He Yuzhu was a regular at the big boss's house and was quickly ushered in. However, the big boss wasn't home at the moment, only the housekeeper was there. He Yuzhu quickly and briefly explained what had happened to the housekeeper.

The personal secretary was also present. Upon hearing the seriousness of the matter, the two immediately began making phone calls, directly to Tian Ting. Five minutes later, He Yuzhu was speaking with the big boss.

He Yuzhu didn't waste any more words and went straight to explaining the whole story before concluding.

"Xu Damao may have already absconded with the money, but I don't know if he left the country. I guess he changed his identity. By the way, he still has a wife and children who are with him. In our compound, someone has already died. Some people are heading towards the Health Treasure Company building. This needs to be stopped quickly, otherwise it may lead to a major disaster!"

After listening to He Yuzhu's report, the big boss remained silent for two seconds before speaking.

"I understand!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu felt completely exhausted, as if he had entrusted all his problems to the big boss. He Yuzhu believed that as long as Xu Damao hadn't boarded the plane yet, he would never be able to leave in this lifetime.

When an individual faces the power of a nation, no matter how many conspiracies and schemes they employ, they will be instantly annihilated.

He Yuzhu didn't linger any longer and rushed towards the compound. He couldn't possibly be indifferent to such a major incident. They had just said that someone had died, and he didn't know exactly what had happened.

Another issue is Xu Damao's problem. He hasn't cared much about it anymore and has left everything to fate. But now he's worried about whether Xu Xiaonuan will be influenced by Xu Damao.

He Yuzhu pedaled his bicycle like a clockwork toy, unable to stop, his anxiety beyond words.

At this moment, at an airport in Yanjing, Xu Damao sat on a plane, looking out the window at the airport. For some reason, he felt vaguely uneasy, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with him.

He had arranged everything himself, and after thinking for a while, he still couldn't find any loopholes.

His current status is that of a scholar, on an academic trip to a certain country. He holds a fairly high position and is allowed to bring his family.

This identity has absolutely no connection with Xu Damao, and no one will know that he left today.

However, Xu Damao suddenly remembered a face, and that face was Qin Huairu's. But Qin Huairu was just an ordinary woman, and even if she knew that she might be leaving today, she would not know her identity.

I was just overthinking things! Just then, the flight attendant announced to everyone that the plane was about to take off and asked everyone to fasten their seatbelts.

Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the flight attendant's voice. As the roar of the plane slowly began, Xu Damao's heart gradually relaxed. He glanced back at his wife and daughter, who were looking at him with curiosity, and a smug and satisfied smile appeared on his face.

After today, I, Xu Damao, am free to roam the world!

The plane slowly began to taxi, getting further and further away, gradually climbing until it left the ground. Xu Damao could no longer hide his smile. He turned to look out the window and could vaguely see several yellow-green jeeps speeding past on the airport runway.

Xu Damao's face stiffened, but as he looked at the increasingly higher ground, a hint of mockery flashed across his face.

"Go ahead and try to catch me from the sky! Hahahaha!"

"Dear passengers, due to ground control notification, the aircraft is currently not suitable for takeoff. This flight will return to Yanjing Airport in five minutes. We apologize!"

Xu Damao's smile froze instantly, his face gradually turning pale, as if a shackle had been tightly binding him from below.

He Yuzhu sped to the compound on his pedals. When he arrived, most of the people had left, but there were several ambulances and police station tricycles parked at the entrance.

He Yuzhu put down his bicycle and saw several people being carried out of the compound on stretchers by medical staff, followed by their family members crying their hearts out.

When the third uncle and third aunt were also carried out, their bodies were covered with footprints, they were groaning and had their eyes closed, and it was impossible to tell how badly they were injured. In the back, there was even a stretcher covered with a white sheet.

Upon seeing this situation, He Yuzhu knew in his heart that something terrible had really happened.

He Yuzhu stood at the door until the ambulance had completely driven away before squeezing into the courtyard, where he saw an old man and the rest of the courtyard still gathered at the door of Qin Huairu's house.

At this time, Qin Huairu's house was empty and in a mess. Furniture, bed boards, cabinets, all had been overturned on the ground, and even the front door had been dismantled, with the door leaves trampled beyond recognition.

Some bloodstains could still be faintly seen on the ground, and the crowd gathered outside the door, discussing the tragedy that had just occurred.

Just then, the old man suddenly saw He Yuzhu come in, raised an eyebrow, and quickly went forward to pull He Yuzhu aside.

He Yuzhu also wanted to inquire about the situation, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Grandpa, how is it?"

An old man with a stern face was about to ask He Yuzhu where he had gone, but upon hearing He Yuzhu's question, he sighed deeply and said...

"More than a dozen people were injured. Three of them were taken away with white sheets, all of them elderly. Oh, and Qin Huairu was also taken away by the police, along with her mother-in-law... Sigh! What a tragedy!"

He Yuzhu was completely stunned. He hadn't expected such a big incident to happen. The image of that squinty-eyed old woman, with her fat head and big ears, and her cursing and swearing back then, flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions!

Chapter 130: Aftermath

It's all fate!

He Yuzhu also sighed. If Xu Damao is caught, he will definitely be shot. Bang Geng, the scapegoat, has really become a sheep this time and will be slaughtered. Qin Huairu's family is completely finished!

The battle of wits between the scheming bitch and the cunning old fox may have come to a complete end today. Who really won this contest?

He Yuzhu didn't know either; he only knew that he wasn't happy at all, but rather felt a sense of unease.

Looking at the dilapidated Jia family home, He Yuzhu felt a void in his heart, and the plot of the original novel involuntarily came to mind.

His arrival, along with the passage of time, has caused this world to deviate from the original plot, but this is not what He Yuzhu wanted to see.

But is all of this really unrelated to me?

He Yuzhu didn't know either; he had no answer in his heart!

He Yuzhu helped the old man back into the house and made two cups of tea. The two men sat somewhat forlornly at the table, watching the sparse crowd of onlookers outside.

An old man picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and sighed, unable to hide his distress.

"Zhu Zi, do you think her family would have ended up like this if you had married Qin Huairu back then?"

He Yuzhu paused slightly as he picked up his teacup, unsure how to respond. He gave an awkward smile, didn't drink the tea, put down the cup, and sighed deeply.

"Perhaps there is another ending, which is that I married Qin Huairu, but Qin Huairu refused to give me a son. In the end, I raised the Jia family's children for nothing, and in the end, I died without a family line. At that time, the house that my father and I had, as well as the house that the deaf old lady had, were all left to Qin Huairu's three children!"

The old man looked up and gave He Yuzhu a deep look, then smiled helplessly. In fact, He Yuzhu's words had made him feel a little better.

This outcome isn't so bad for me. I have no children of my own, and now I've adopted Zhu Zi as my son. He's been well taken care of over the years, and He Zhen and He Hua call me grandpa. I'm all my children and grandchildren!

The two men quietly drank their tea, watching the stories and lives unfold in the courtyard.

He Yuzhu suddenly remembered his second uncle's family and asked casually.

"Why haven't I seen Uncle Er's family?"

An old man slowly sipped his tea and said quietly.

"He fainted on the spot after hearing about the Health Code incident. He was the first one to be taken away by ambulance. Your second aunt had a heart attack and died on the spot. This time, his family is truly ruined. They just sold the house the day before yesterday and paid the money to Health Code yesterday. And this happened today. Sigh! It's fate!"

He Yuzhu was speechless. How should he handle this situation?

He doesn't know either; he can only wait and see what happens!

This incident indeed caused a huge uproar, so big that it alarmed the highest levels of government. Almost overnight, all of HealthCare's branches across the country were shut down.

Tens of thousands of families were ruined, and countless elderly people couldn't bear the shock and ultimately chose to take that path. Yet, despite the magnitude of the event, no newspapers reported it at all, as if everything remained calm and undisturbed.

However, the impact of this incident was enormous, and the lesson learned was profound. After this incident, domestic pyramid schemes were quickly nipped in the bud, and for a long time to come, the domestic government will avoid this type of corporate system!

After Qin Huairu was taken away that day, she completely disappeared from the compound. A few staff members from the street came, installed the door, put on a seal, and left.

The only saving grace is that Xiao Dang and Xiao Kuihua, being married, weren't greatly affected. However, it's not impossible that they were completely unaffected; their families and work will still be significantly impacted for a long time to come.

The two girls tearfully arranged their grandmother's funeral, and then never showed their faces again.

Two months later, He Yuzhu finally learned some details about the development of the matter from the bigwig.

Xu Damao was arrested, but Jia Geng disappeared. Qin Huairu was originally fine and was also a victim, but she was sentenced to three years in prison for helping Jia Geng escape.

As for other victims, such as the second uncle, after this incident, he is now completely unable to take care of himself. He often laughs foolishly and when he encounters a nurse, he will nervously grab her and say crazy things like he wants to tell her how to get rich.

After this incident, his sons completely abandoned him, leaving him to fend for himself. Since the family house had been sold, but now they had lost both money and property, the brothers occupied the house and refused to move out, resulting in a months-long dispute with certain people without any resolution.

The situation wasn't much better for the Third Uncle's family. The couple had been rescued, but now the family had become complete enemies. The sons blamed the Third Uncle for bringing them into the group, which ruined their lives, and now they wanted the Third Uncle to compensate them.

The sons were fighting over their uncle's retirement pension, and the whole family was in chaos.

As for the other families in the compound, things weren't much better. In just two months at the end of 84, eight elderly people from several nearby compounds died. The cause of death was a continuation of this tragedy.

Xu Damao's fate is predictable; once all the money he transferred is squeezed dry, his end is imminent.

Qin Jingru and her daughter, whom He Yuzhu had been keeping an eye on, were finally released six months after the investigation. This was because the investigation revealed that Xu Damao had never told the mother and daughter about his affairs, and even when he boarded the plane, he lied to them that he was going on a trip.

Although they are no longer related, Qin Jingru and her daughter can only change their names now. If people find out that they are Xu Damao's wife and daughter, who knows what kind of tragedy will occur.

He Yuzhu eventually found the mother and daughter. The two were disheveled and haggard, living in a temporary tenement building. Qin Huairu supported the mother and daughter by picking up vegetable scraps at the market and washing dishes at a restaurant. When the two saw He Yuzhu suddenly appear, they didn't know how to express themselves and could only cry.

He Yuzhu patted Xu Xiaonuan's head and could only sigh. Qin Jingru had lost her former pride and kept her head down, saying nothing.
