Chapter 421: The Strange Courtyard
Chapter 421: The Strange Courtyard
Sha Zhu sneered and said, "Now you realize how serious things are? Do you think Ah She doesn't keep up with current events? Didn't you know that so many leaders went to the airport to pick us up today?"
Upon hearing this, the snakes' eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at Sha Zhu.
They had certainly heard about it. But no one expected that the main character would be here.
Sha Zhu chuckled coldly and said, "That's right, my name is He Yuzhu. I flew back from Hong Kong this morning with Lao Mo and Xu Damao. I have my passport with me."
The snakes finally realized the gravity of the situation. Sha Zhu reached into his pocket and actually pulled out his passport.
Oh no, this is a returnee from overseas, an international friend. Even Hai Zi's superiors went to welcome this international friend.
Sha Zhu finally got his revenge.
"This old woman, yes, that's him, and those guys, they just robbed me and beat me up like this. I demand that you arrest them right now, or I'll come after you later."
Without a word, several snakes rushed forward and restrained Old Lady Jia. They also took the thugs he had hired.
"Oh my god, this is outrageous! The police are beating people! The police are arresting people arbitrarily..."
Old Lady Jia started throwing a tantrum.
"Old Jia, come up here quickly! Someone is bullying us, a widow and her child! Come up and take him away!"
Sha Zhu stared blankly at the scene, feeling that this was so familiar.
Finally, the case alarmed the police chief. The chief, along with his men, rushed over and personally handled Sha Zhu's case.
But no matter what he did, of the more than three thousand US dollars, only a little over two thousand remained. No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find the rest.
Who would bear the responsibility for the things that couldn't be found? Of course, everyone was dumbfounded. Sha Zhu was incredibly frustrated!
You bunch of people are absolutely inhuman!
Ironically, Old Lady Jia refused to return the house to him.
Sha Zhu was furious! He immediately demanded that the police arrest her and sentence her to whatever term she was supposed to be sentenced to.
Just then, a guy jumped out and blocked the police who were about to arrest him.
"Officer, I'm an old man from the compound. Actually, I saw the whole thing. It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"
"First of all, we simply cannot believe that someone sentenced to fifteen years has been reinstated. Secondly, how can someone who broke the law be free now? We urge the police to give us, the people, a clear explanation..."
Seeing this scene, Sha Zhu felt that familiar feeling again. He really wanted to rush up and ask, "Old man, you're not surnamed Yi, are you?"
In the end, it was the director who really helped.
"You're an old man, right? This old woman Jia stole over three thousand US dollars from someone, and now she only has a little over two thousand left. Since it's a misunderstanding, how about you, old man, make up the difference?"
"what?"
More than a thousand US dollars?
The old man, who had just been all prim and proper, immediately turned and ran, slamming the door shut and ignoring everything that was happening outside.
In the end, Old Lady Jia and those young men were all arrested.
Did Sha Zhu think that was the end of it?
As a result, he still couldn't get into the house.
There was a man in the Jia family named Jia Xifeng.
Jia Xifeng brought his three uncles—the eldest, the second, and the third—to their door, forcing Sha Zhu to write letters of forgiveness for his mother and the young men.
Sha Zhu was utterly speechless.
In the end, he had no choice but to give up and go to stay in a hotel. This was truly a case of having a home but being unable to go back!
Sha Zhu couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, thinking about how to get the house back tomorrow.
The next morning, Lao Mo, Chen Yao, Xu Damao, and their wives, along with a whole bunch of their wives, appeared at the entrance of the courtyard house at No. 95.
What a familiar place!
Just as a group of people were about to push open the door and go inside, they heard the sound of a car behind them.
Everyone turned around and saw that it was indeed that idiot Zhu.
"Hehe, I knew you guys would come back to visit, so here I am too."
Old Mo ignored him and was about to step inside. Just then, Sha Zhu ran up in front of him.
"Old Mo, wait a minute. Listen to me, there are a lot of monsters and ghosts in here. I came back yesterday afternoon, and the house had been occupied."
I was even falsely accused of being a thief and beaten up. Look, my face is still swollen!
Only then did Lao Mo and Xu Damao notice the injury on Sha Zhu's face.
Xu Damao immediately laughed.
"Haha, stand there dumbfounded! Aren't you the God of War of the Courtyard Houses? How come you can't even go back to your own home? Haha..."
Sha Zhu rolled his eyes, ignoring Xu Damao's teasing.
"Old Mo, my house has been occupied. I reckon your house and Xu Damao's house won't escape either. So we'd better be mentally prepared before we go in."
It's really that weird.
Old Mo nodded, took Chen Yao's hand, and walked into the courtyard house.
This courtyard house was a nightmare for all time travelers from the very beginning. Now, even the protagonist, Sha Zhu, can't go back.
Old Mo didn't believe it; he thought it was really that strange.
"Oh, who are you? Who are you looking for in our courtyard house?"
As soon as the group of people walked in, a bunch of women started asking questions all at once.
Yes, it's Monday. The men are all at work, so most of the people left are women.
Old Mo chuckled and said, "This is our home. Can't we even go home? Do we have to look for someone?"
"What? You live here? I've never seen you before!"
An old woman spoke up loudly.
"Yes, yes, you look all dressed up, how come you're spouting nonsense? We know everyone here, there's no one like you."
A group of older women started talking amongst themselves, refusing to move aside or let them in.
Old Mo is speechless!
He could only patiently explain, "I'm a resident of the backyard, my surname is Chen, and my name is Chen Jinmo. This is my daughter, Chen Yao. Have you heard of her?"
The group of older women all shook their heads, indicating they had never heard of it.
An older woman went even further, saying, "Are all scammers dressed this well these days? You're not enemy spies, are you?"
The moment the words "enemy agent" were uttered, everyone immediately realized what was happening. That year, enemy agents were no longer as rampant.
It seems everyone had long forgotten about this word. Unexpectedly, a group of them showed up today.
"Yes, their clothes make them look like enemy agents. Should we call the police?"
"That's right, look at their clothes, they're exactly the same as those foreigners. Hurry, send someone to report to the police."
After saying that, two young wives actually ran out of the compound and went to report it to the police.
Old Mo was speechless!
Sha Zhu, hiding behind, nearly died laughing. He had tried his best to hold it in, but he just couldn't help it!
Xu Damao was furious. He stood up and shouted, "You bunch of bastards, are you looking down on us? How did we become enemy agents?"
