Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Yi Zhonghai believed that after opening the restaurant, everyone would work with him to fight against He Yuzhu.

In reality, the vast majority of people are focused on making money.

In particular, Qin Huairu and Yan Bugui talked about how much money the restaurant had made every day.

Although that money was kept in the restaurant's account and wouldn't end up in their hands.

But they just kept doing it, completely forgetting their original intention of opening the restaurant.

The other people in the courtyard talked about what to eat each day.

In the entire courtyard, only Liu Haizhong occasionally cooperated with Yi Zhonghai to discuss ways to deal with He Yuzhu.

Yi Zhonghai was very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.

Once the business was established, the money no longer came from Yi Zhonghai's hands.

With Yi Zhonghai no longer in control of the finances, people paid less attention to him.

Yi Zhonghai discovered that his status had actually declined after the restaurant opened.

Yi Zhonghai was unhappy about his declining status. He became an oddity in the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to give up and wanted to hold a meeting with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui is now completely focused on the restaurant, and he only gives perfunctory replies to Yi Zhonghai.

Qin Huairu's side also did not support Yi Zhonghai, so the meeting was not very effective.

He Yuzhu didn't ask anyone about these things because he had already guessed most of them.

It's no wonder that a group of people with different motives can't stay peaceful when they get together.

After several months of searching, He Yuzhu finally found Li Huaide's whereabouts.

This guy fled to Thailand to seek refuge. He was doing illegal work there, so he didn't dare show his face.

This time, he offended someone and was being hunted down, so he had no choice but to call He Yuzhu for help.

When He Yuzhu learned of Li Huaide's whereabouts, he sent someone to help him settle things and then brought him back.

Before Li Huaide returned, there was one more person to deal with, and that was Xu Damao.

"What? You want to call Li Huaide back?" Xu Damao exploded upon hearing He Yuzhu's plan.

He was the one who personally reported the smuggling incident.

Hearing Li Huaide's name, Xu Damao felt a little guilty.

"No. We can't let him come back."

He Yuzhu pretended not to know what he was thinking and said with a smile, "Did he offend you?"

"No."

"Since I haven't offended you, why are you objecting? To be honest, Li Huaide treated us quite well back then."

He's being hunted down abroad; we can't just stand by and watch him die.

Xu Damao said, "Even if you want to save him, there's no need to bring him back."

If all else fails, we can find him a place in Shenzhen or Hong Kong, give him money, and support him.

He's over sixty, so he's basically retired.

He Yuzhu smiled and looked at Xu Damao: "Why do you seem a little guilty?"

"Did you do something shady behind Li Huaide's back?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't, am I that kind of person?" Xu Damao jumped up and down in refusal.

He Yuzhu continued to tease him: "That's the kind of person you are."

Let me think, when did you do something bad?

Is it about that smuggling incident?

Xu Damao wasn't stupid. He could tell from He Yuzhu's expression that He Yuzhu already knew about these things.

Now that He Yuzhu knew, he decided not to hide it from him anymore.

"So what if it was me? Who told him to go behind my back and collaborate with Liu Haizhong?"

He Yuzhu saw that he had guessed it, so he stopped teasing him: "Look at how timid you are."

"Do you need to be afraid of Li Huaide?"

Xu Damao retorted, "Who told you I'm afraid of Li Huaide?"

We both know what kind of person Li Huaide is.

He'll definitely hold a grudge.

Looking at Xu Damao's serious face, He Yuzhu had to admit that environment changes people.

In Sha Zhu's lifetime, Xu Damao also betrayed Li Huaide.

Will Li Huaide retaliate?
Given Li Huaide's personality, he will definitely retaliate.

Does Xu Damao know? He Yuzhu doesn't know that.

At that time, Sha Zhu relied on Lou Xiao'e, using her money to support the people in the courtyard.

In terms of both material wealth and reputation, they far surpass Xu Damao.

Xu Damao couldn't stand it and was determined to surpass Sha Zhu.

Therefore, even knowing that Li Huaide would retaliate, he would still choose to cooperate with Li Huaide.

Xu Damao must have taken precautions as well, but they weren't as sophisticated as Li Huaide's.

That's normal.

Li Huaide experienced far more trials and tribulations in his life than Xu Damao.

He could easily take down Xu Damao with a single move.

Indeed, Li Huaide tricked Xu Damao with a simple scheme and then disappeared with his men and money.

He Yuzhu said, "Don't worry. Li Huaide wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me."

Xu Damao said, "Nonsense. Even if they had the guts, they wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you."

I'm afraid he'll attack me.

Aren't you afraid that he'll cooperate with Yi Zhonghai and resort to underhanded tactics behind your back?

That cannot be denied.

It is indeed possible that Li Huaide joined forces with Yi Zhonghai in order to take revenge on Xu Damao.

He didn't dare to confront He Yuzhu, but he didn't say he wouldn't dare to confront Xu Damao.

He Yuzhu had already thought of this and prepared a solution.

"He can't find out that you were the one who reported him."

Xu Damao was taken aback: "You arranged for someone to handle this for me?"
But it didn't work.

Li Huaide isn't a policeman, so he needs evidence.

His mere suspicion is enough.

He Yuzhu knew perfectly well what was going on, so he picked up the phone on his desk and said, "Bring them in."

A short while later, He Yuzhu's assistant brought in a middle-aged man.

"Mr. He."

He Yuzhu asked his assistant to leave first: "Have you seen him?"

Xu Damao sized up the middle-aged man: "I have a vague impression of him, it seems like I've seen him somewhere before."

The middle-aged man said, "President Xu, I am Shi Junshan. I used to work for Director Li."

After a moment, Xu Damao remembered: "It's you."

He turned to look at He Yuzhu: "Why did you bring him here?"
I want him to testify that I didn't report it.

Li Huaide was just down on his luck, not stupid.

He couldn't possibly believe it.

He Yuzhu asked, "Do you know who Shi Junshan's sister is?"

"His sister?" Xu Damao looked at Shi Junshan in confusion.

Shi Junshan sighed and said, "My sister is Shi Junfen."

“Shi Junfen.” Xu Damao stood up in surprise: “Then why did you work for Li Huaide?”

"I want revenge," Shi Junshan said through gritted teeth.

Li Huaide is a lecherous man, and he'll be even less honest after becoming the director.

There were many women in the steel rolling mill who had been taken advantage of by Li Huaide. Among them was Shi Junfen.

It wasn't Li Huaide who took advantage of Shi Junfen. In fact, it was Shi Junfen's husband who deliberately sent her to Li Huaide's bed.

With Li Huaide on the stage, everything will naturally be fine.

But things changed once Li Huaide stepped down.

Shi Junfen's husband immediately turned against her and wanted a divorce.

Shi Junfen was unwilling, so he told the child what Shi Junfen had done.

At the time, the child was going through a rebellious phase and couldn't accept it at all, so he made a fuss about not wanting Shi Junfen as his mother.

In despair, Shi Junfen drank pesticide and could not be saved.

To avenge his sister, Shi Junshan beat up his brother-in-law and was subsequently arrested.

After serving a few years in prison, he spent his time in various places and started living a nomadic life after his release.

Coincidentally, he ran into Li Huaide and decided to find something to use against Li Huaide to get him imprisoned. (End of Chapter)
