Chapter 2345
Pressing Closer
This answer still did not resolve the doubts in Yi Zhonghai's mind.
If no one lives there, just close the doors and windows; why seal them up?
Just as the elderly people's belongings were being moved away, He Guoqiang's men were sealing off the windows of each house.
Big Knife arrived with his men.
"There are so few people in the courtyard. It seems you're quite sensible. Since you're sensible, then come with me."
We've gone to transfer the property title.
Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed his other thoughts.
No matter what his plans were, his priority was to protect the house.
"We will definitely return the money to you. But we can't give you the house."
"No." Big Knife coldly sized them up: "Paying back debts is a matter of course."
"You old geezers, you're trying to renege on your debt!"
Qin Huai subconsciously pursed his lips.
She didn't believe Da Dao's words at all; why should she pay back money she borrowed based on her own abilities?
When Yi Zhonghai and the other two heard that they had been scolded, they were all furious.
"How can you talk like that? We're your elders no matter what..."
"Pah!" Big Knife spat a mouthful of phlegm onto Yi Zhonghai's face: "Whose elder are you?"
Go ask around all over Beijing, and you'll find out who dares to borrow money from me and not pay it back.
Yi Zhonghai was furious.
He had lived his whole life, and no one had ever dared to treat him like that.
He wanted to find someone to teach Big Knife a lesson.
After looking around, there wasn't a single suitable person. We couldn't expect those old folks to fight against the big knife.
As for He Guoqiang's men, they all stood by and watched the show; not one of them stood up for what was right.
Da Dao ignored this and pointed at Yi Zhonghai: "Are you guys going to move or not?"
Yi Zhonghai, relying on his age, thought that Da Dao wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
He firmly replied, "We're not moving. I've already said I'll definitely pay back the money I owe you. But moving out is absolutely out of the question."
Old age is Yi Zhonghai's protective charm.
Yi Zhonghai didn't believe that Da Dao would dare to use force against him.
These underhanded tactics are completely useless against people like Da Dao.
Big Knife chuckled: "Trying to play dirty with me, huh? You've got guts. Let's see who can outsmart whom."
Da Dao ignored Yi Zhonghai and the others, and walked towards He Guoqiang's group.
"Brother, are these rooms yours? Can I rent them for a few days?"
"no problem."
Da Dao and his men settled down in the courtyard house.
These people have absolutely no sense of rules.
Yi Zhonghai prepared the meal, and they took it all as soon as they came up. In the evening, they even set up a sound system and sang, danced, and drank in the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai and the others could only endure it, there was nothing they could do.
All of this was within He Yuzhu's expectations.
He knew very well that he wanted to drive Yi Zhonghai and the others out of the courtyard house.
There are no normal methods available.
Only by using such methods can we get rid of them.
Let them keep making a scene.
It all comes down to who can rely on whom.
He Yuzhu also had someone pass the message on to Bang Geng, the Liu brothers, and the Yan brothers.
These people received the news, but all chose to ignore it.
He Yuanting was strolling around the mall after get off work when she encountered a pickpocket and her wallet was stolen.
Fortunately, a kind person helped me get my wallet back.
"Miss He, here is your wallet."
He Yuanting took the wallet without checking its contents.
She looked at the man in front of her curiously: "Do you know me?"
The man smiled and said, "My name is Mike, and I graduated from MIT."
I saw your photo on campus last year when I went back to school to look for collaborative projects.
He Yuanting nodded: "Oh, we're alumni. Thank you so much for today."
"Did you come to Beijing for tourism?"
Mike said with a smile, "I'm here both as a tourist and to look for projects. I'm very optimistic about China's future and want to invest in high-tech projects in China."
Nowadays, more and more foreigners are investing in China, and the country welcomes such investment.
He Yuanting smiled and said, "You have a good eye."
Before He Yuanting could ask, Mike took the initiative to reveal his investment direction.
He mentioned six investment directions in total, half of which were related to He Yuanting's research.
Moreover, Mike's statements were very professional, and some of his viewpoints reflected the most advanced technology in the United States.
This caught He Yuanting's attention.
Mike took the opportunity to invite He Yuanting to have a casual meal together.
He Yuanting also wanted to learn more about new technologies, so she agreed.
Then, Mike arranged to meet with He Yuanting several times under the guise of cooperation and consultation.
Inside the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and the others could no longer bear it.
They gathered in Yi Zhonghai's house to discuss countermeasures.
“Old Yi, we can’t go on like this. Those people are stealing our food every day, and we’re never getting enough to eat,” Liu Haizhong was the first to complain.
Yan Bugui followed closely behind: "They drank and sang in the courtyard every night, and also barbecued meat."
He licked his lips and continued, "They're clearly torturing us this way."
Liu Haizhong said angrily, "What's even more infuriating is that they still aren't asleep."
It would make noise several times a night, waking us up each time.
I haven't had a good night's sleep in days.
"If this continues, none of us can hold out."
Yi Zhonghai said, "They just want to use this method to drive us away."
We must find a way to stop them.
Even Yi Zhonghai himself couldn't take it anymore.
If things continue like this, forget about retirement; he'll be lucky if he doesn't die a violent death.
"How can we stop them? There are so many of them," Qin Huairu said with a worried expression.
This worry wasn't about Yi Zhonghai, but about Bang Geng. She was afraid that Yi Zhonghai would send Bang Geng to intervene.
These men with big knives are all covered in tattoos; they don't look like good people at all.
Qin Huairu was reluctant to let Bang Geng stand out, fearing those people would resort to underhanded tactics.
Yi Zhonghai looked around and found that everyone was looking at him, hoping that he would step forward.
This gave him a huge headache.
What other options does he have now?
Jin Qihao has already been sent away by Jin Jichuan, and no one knows where he went.
Apart from Jin Qihao, who was willing to help him, he couldn't find anyone else willing to help.
After much deliberation, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to turn his attention back to He Yuzhu.
"Let's go find Sha Zhu."
Liu Haizhong said reluctantly, "What's the point of looking? We can't even see him."
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Yi Zhonghai retorted bluntly.
He asked these people for suggestions, but not a single one spoke up. He finally came up with a solution, but they objected.
Liu Haizhong said with dissatisfaction, "How should I know what to do? We've talked to Sha Zhu before, haven't we?"
He won't see us at all. Going to him is a waste of time.
Fearing the two would start arguing, Yan Bugui quickly advised, "Let's not make a scene."
Lao Yi, Lao Liu's words make some sense.
Those people were probably all arranged by Sha Zhu. He would never help us.
Yi Zhonghai knew that He Yuzhu wouldn't help, but he couldn't find any other way.
No one would pay such a large sum of money for them for no reason.
"If we can't find Sha Zhu, then let the person who can find Sha Zhu go find him."
"Who can find Sha Zhu?" Qin Huairu asked curiously.
Yi Zhonghai said firmly, "The subdistrict office can definitely be found."
Those guys with the big knife are messing around in the yard every day, seriously affecting our lives.
We can report it to the neighborhood committee.
If the neighborhood committee can resolve the issue, then everyone is naturally happy.
If they can't solve it, we'll bring out Sha Zhu.
"Silly Zhu has so much money, what's wrong with him helping us?" (End of Chapter)
