The Courtyard House: The story begins with He Yuzhu beating up the White Widow.

"I just arrived too!" He Yuzhu replied, then looked at He Yushui and Xu Xiaoling and asked, "Why are you two staring at me like that?!"

He Yushui said playfully, "Brother, you're handsome! That's why we're looking at you!"

He Yuzhu gave a wry smile, reached out and flicked He Yushui's nose, saying, "Let's go! Let's go home!"

"Oh!" He Yushui responded and got on her bicycle. Xu Xiaoling habitually sat on the back of He Yushui's bicycle. Song Ran sat on the back of He Yuzhu's bicycle. He Yuzhu pedaled, and with Song Ran on the back, they headed towards Nanluoguxiang. He Yushui immediately followed. Just as He Yuzhu and his group were about to reach the entrance of their alley, Shen Xiling rode his bicycle and happened to meet them. When Shen Xiling saw Song Ran sitting on the back of He Yuzhu's bicycle, he was slightly taken aback and called out, "Song Ran?!"

Hearing the shout, Song Ran gestured for He Yuzhu to stop. Once the bicycle had come to a stop, Song Ran got off and called out, "Brother Shen!"

Shen Xiling looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "And who is this?!"

Song Ran hurriedly introduced, "Brother Shen, this is my husband, He Yuzhu."

Shen Xiling asked in surprise, "You're married?!"

"I'm married!" Song Ran replied readily, adding, "We just got married not long ago."

Upon hearing Song Ran mention that she had recently gotten married, Shen Xiling instantly felt the sound of shattering glass echo in her mind. She thought to herself, "How could Song Ran get married?!"

Seeing Shen Xiling suddenly lose his focus, Song Ran called out, "Brother Shen! Brother Shen!" When Shen Xiling came to his senses, Song Ran pressed, "Brother Shen, are you alright?!"

Shen Xiling shook his head and replied, "It's nothing!" Then he said, "I have something to do, so I'll go first! Let's talk again when we meet again!" After saying that, Shen Xiling got on his bicycle and sped past He Yuzhu and the others.

Although Shen Xiling ran fast, He Yuzhu's spiritual sense was even faster. He Yuzhu never expected that his random sweep of spiritual sense would actually detect a large fish. He Yuzhu got on his bicycle and asked, "Wife, who was that person just now?!"

Song Ran replied, "His name is Shen Xiling. His family used to live across from mine. They moved to the naval compound a few years ago. He's the best student I know. He got into medical school in 1952. I heard recently that he graduated, but I don't know which hospital he was assigned to." She then asked, "Why are you suddenly asking about him?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Just curious!"

He Yushui rode her bicycle up to He Yuzhu's side and said, "Brother, are you jealous?!" After saying that, He Yushui rode off on her bicycle.

He Yuzhu watched He Yushui's retreating figure, chuckled, and called out, "Ride slowly! Don't fall!" Then He Yuzhu pedaled his bicycle and followed.

When He Yuzhu and his group returned to courtyard number 95, Shen Xiling rode his bicycle to the gate of a courtyard house on Chaodou Hutong. Shen Xiling dismounted, walked to the door, and knocked. The door opened shortly after, and the old man who had visited Shen Xiling at the hospital before answered. The old man looked outside and called out to Shen Xiling, "Come in!"

Shen Xiling picked up his bicycle, stepped over the threshold, and went inside. The old man closed the door and asked, "Why are you here?!"

Shen Xiling put down his bicycle, took out a wanted poster from his bag, handed it to the old man, and asked, "Tell me! What exactly happened?!"

The old man took the wanted poster, glanced at it, and his expression changed slightly. He asked, "Where did you get this?!"

Shen Xiling replied, "Never mind where you got it! Just tell me, what's going on here?!"

The old man remembered the grain being lost during transport, but he was still uncertain. After hesitating for a few minutes, he said, "Don't worry! The people on board have already left Beijing."

Shen Xiling said coldly, "You need to get this straight! I'm cleaning up your mess!"

The old man said, "We're all in this together. If anything happens to any of us, we'll all suffer."

Shen Xiling laughed and said, "Mo Laosan, you underestimate me too much. On the very first day of our cooperation, I figured out everything about you. Do you think what you've prepared can harm me?!"

The old man's face changed the moment Shen Xiling called out "Mo Laosan" (Mo the Third). This old man was named Mo Xiong, the third son in his family. Before liberation, he ran a black market business, relying on his family's martial arts school. Right after liberation, Mo Xiong's black market business failed, and he was hunted down by enemies. Shen Xiling saved him. From then on, Shen Xiling partnered with him to revive the black market. However, Mo Xiong had always used the false name Gao Tong in front of Shen Xiling. But today, Shen Xiling directly called him Mo Laosan. Mo Xiong knew his disguise had been exposed.

Mo Laosan stared at Shen Xiling for a while, then said, "It seems I underestimated you!"

Shen Xiling sneered and said, "It's not that you underestimated me! It's that you've never taken me seriously. You've only ever used me as a tool! I'll go back today and confess to my grandfather! What happens to you is none of my business!"

Mo Laosan immediately jumped up and demanded, "Shen Xiling, what do you mean by this?!"

Shen Xiling sneered, "You should know what I mean. Whether you want to live or die is your own business. Once you've thought it through, deal with it cleanly!" With that, Shen Xiling walked to the gate, opened it, turned around, picked up his bicycle, and stepped over the threshold.

After Shen Xiling left, Mo Laosan came to his senses, sighed deeply, walked to the door, closed it, and then went into the living room. Shu Chongshan, who was sitting in the living room, saw Mo Laosan enter and asked, "He's gone?!"

"I'm leaving!" Old Mo replied expressionlessly, walked to the octagonal table and sat down, saying, "After such a commotion today, I'm afraid we can't participate in the offering ceremony together."

Shu Chongshan said, "Whether he's here or not, it's all the same. Since he wants to part ways with us, let's part ways with him. If he gets a smaller share, we brothers can get a larger share too."

Mo Laosan glared at Shu Chongshan and said, "What do you know?!" Then he slammed the wanted poster in front of Shu Chongshan and said, "Let's resolve this matter first!"

"What?!" Shu Chongshan picked up the wanted poster, glanced at it, and his expression changed slightly. He asked, "Mo Laosan, what exactly is going on?!"

Mo Laosan said, "Have you forgotten?! Two bags of grain were lost on the way to the warehouse."

Shu Chongshan nodded and said, "That's true, but those two bags of grain have already been found, haven't they?"
