The Golden-Eyed Life of a Security Guard

Unbeknownst to Gu Yuebai, after he left, the old woman became even more outrageous, relentlessly interrogating Lin Yue'e and demanding to know if she had cheated on him.

Lin Yue'e kept explaining, but the old woman wouldn't let it go.

Lin Yue'e cooked for the child and the old woman, and after putting the child to sleep, Foreman Li returned.

The old woman added fuel to the fire, slandering Lin Yue'e and Gu Yuebai for having an affair.

Foreman Li got drunk and lost control of his emotions, giving Lin Yue'e another beating.

…………

Gu Yuebai finally made it back to Lingyue Residential Area and fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.

He slept for five days and five nights.

He didn't even know when his mother called.

As agreed, Guo Xiaochang led several people to Lingyue Residential Area.

They ran to Gu Yuebai's door and started banging on it.

Gu Yuebai was still asleep.

He didn't hear a sound at the door at all.

"Boss, it looks like there's no one inside."

Guo Xiaochang has been coveting that piece of raw jade for ten years. This time, he is determined to get his hands on it no matter what.

He glanced at his Rolex watch; it wasn't even 10 o'clock yet, only 9:30.

But he couldn't wait!

"Boss, are they trying to hide from their debts?"

"Besides someone like you who can make a fortune every day, who else has the ability to earn over 300,000 in seven days? This is no joke."

Guo Xiaochang was also somewhat hesitant. That kid was just a security guard. How could he have gotten 350,000 yuan?

Are we really going to run away?

He quickly took out his phone and called Shen Ling.

"Hey, sister-in-law. Has your son come back yet? I'm waiting for him at your door."

Shen Ling said anxiously, "Brother Guo, I don't know where my son has gone. I haven't heard from him for five days. If Lin Yue'e hadn't brought me a message, I wouldn't have known where my son went."

"Unknown whereabouts? Hehe, sister-in-law, your son didn't run away, did he?"

"No! Absolutely not! He's rich, he really is rich. He has ten million. I saw it."

"But where is he? I practically banged on the door, but no one answered. What kind of situation is this?"

Guo Xiaochang's tone became increasingly agitated.

What a joke! Making ten million in just seven days? That's ridiculous!

"Sister-in-law, out of consideration for our years of friendship, I'll try to reason with him now. But if he doesn't show up by ten o'clock, I'll just break down the door. I'll take everything!"

"No, no, no! Don't bang on the door. I'll call Yuebai right away, I'll call again." Shen Ling hurriedly hung up the phone.

In her haste, Shen Ling didn't even hold her phone properly.

However, no matter how many times he called Gu Yuebai, he only got a busy signal.

"Where did that brat run off to?"

In fact, Gu Yuebai had already woken up.

He woke up when Guo Xiaochang banged on the door. He heard Guo Xiaochang talking to his mother on the phone, and he overheard their conversation.

He quietly sent a message to his mother to let her know that he had arrived.

Tell her not to make a fuss, not to tell Guo Xiaochang, and that she can handle it herself.

Then I turned it on silent.

When Guo Xiaochang called Shen Ling again, Shen Ling told him that Gu Yuebai would be there soon.

Guo Xiaochang had no choice but to suppress his temper and continue waiting.

But he waited and waited, and Gu Yuebai was nowhere to be seen. Time passed slowly, and it was almost ten o'clock, just five minutes away.

"Smash it! Smash the door open!" Guo Xiaochang figured Gu Yuebai wouldn't be coming back, so the rough jade was definitely his.

He knew that the rough stone was hidden under Gu Yuebai's bed; it was a good thing, and it would soon be his.

Most houses built in the early 2000s had wooden doors.

Those guys, armed with axes, pounded on the door, and in no time at all, they broke down Gu Yuebai's door.

When Guo Xiaochang and his six men rushed into the house, they found Gu Yuebai sitting in the living room, holding a cell phone. She said to Guo Xiaochang, "Unauthorized entry and forced entry into a private residence are illegal. I have already called the police."

On Gu Yuebai's phone, 110 was being dialed.

"You?" Guo Xiaochang understood; Gu Yuebai was deliberately messing with him.

"I'm here to collect payment! It's ten o'clock! As agreed, I'm here to get the money or the goods!"

Guo Xiaochang offered a sophistry.

"Is it ten o'clock yet?"

Guo Xiaochang glanced at his watch and exclaimed, "Damn it, it's only 9:59!"

Those guys were too quick!

"Now, let's not rush to settle the bill. Let's wait for the police to arrive so we can settle your charges of burglary, illegal intrusion, and damage to other people's property first."

"You!" Guo Xiaochang was furious, but he quickly calmed down.

He pulled up a stool and sat down opposite Gu Yuebai, calmly saying, "Alright, we'll wait."

Gu Yuebai was unsure what Guo Xiaochang was up to. Could it be that he had someone powerful backing him?

The local police station arrived in about ten minutes.

With Guo Xiaochang's accomplice embellishing the story, the police officer finally understood.

Guo Xiaochang took out cigarettes and handed them to the two police officers, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen. This was supposed to be a simple matter, but this brat deliberately refused to open the door. We're just here to collect a debt, not to commit burglary."

He pulled one of the police officers aside and whispered, "I have a very good relationship with Liu Delu, the deputy director of your county's public security bureau. Why don't you give him a call and ask him how to handle this?"

The police officer glanced at Gu Yuebai, then at Guo Xiaochang. He wasn't sure what was going on. If this guy really knew someone in the higher-ups, he might be in deep trouble if he didn't handle the situation properly.

He quickly left the room, took out his phone, and called Deputy Director Liu Delu.

Gu Yuebai finally understood. He had originally wanted to deal with Guo Xiaochang, but now it seemed that all he could do was pay some money and be done with it.

Soon, Guo Xiaochang's phone rang as well.

Guo Xiaochang answered the phone and went outside to talk.

"Old Guo, why were you so impulsive? Illegal entry is a serious crime. If it goes to court, you could face legal trouble."

"Who the hell knew that brat was deliberately messing with me? He owes me over 300,000 yuan, I can't just let it go like this," Guo Xiaochang said, his anger rising.

"Brother, please put in a good word for me and see how to smooth things over." Guo Xiaochang could only be cautious and say nice things.

"There's a rectification campaign going on in the Party right now, don't go against the tide. Lao Guo, I think you should just give that kid some money to avoid trouble and let this matter drop." Liu Delu tried to smooth things over on the other end of the phone.

Seeing that things had come to this point, he couldn't ignore the rules and continue to argue, lest he offend Liu Delu.

"Okay, I'll talk to him."

After hanging up the phone, the police brought the people from both sides over.

"Gu Yuebai, right? I think you were also in the wrong. You were clearly inside, so why didn't you say anything? It made people think you were hiding from debt collectors. He acted impulsively in his desperation, which is understandable."

"Absolutely! If we knew he was inside, we'd be banging on the door!" Guo Xiaochang slammed his fist on the table, speaking angrily.
