Courtyard House: Starting by inheriting the tradition and suppressing the barbarians.

The night was as dark as ink, and the cold wind felt like knives scraping against the faces of pedestrians.

Xu Damao, carrying a half-empty wine bottle, swayed as he walked back to the courtyard house through the alley.

Although he has not yet taken office since Liu Haizhong's downfall.

But he had already become a familiar face in the Revolutionary Committee.

He's figuring out how to pull off a big heist to completely turn his life around.

As he reached the alley entrance, he suddenly saw a dark figure huddled in a corner, glaring menacingly at passersby.

That's a sticky rice cake.

Xu Damao narrowed his eyes, sobering up a bit.

The current Bangkin is like a starving wild dog.

If anyone dares to provoke him, he'll really bite off a piece of flesh.

"Hey, isn't that a Korean pheasant?"

Xu Damao's eyes darted around, and a wicked plan popped into his head.

He hated Li Xuan so much he wanted to grind his teeth!

Li Xuan not only humiliated him, but also always acted superior and oppressed everyone in the courtyard.

He also disliked the Jia family, feeling that they were all vampires.

If he could get these two families to fight, wouldn't Xu Damao be able to reap the benefits without lifting a finger?

Banggeng raised his head, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and he was toying with a sharp stone in his hand.

"Xu Damao, spit it out."

If it were in the past, Xu Damao would have already cursed him out.

But today, he wasn't angry at all.

Instead, he leaned closer and whispered mysteriously, "Bang Geng, Uncle knows you're suffering inside."

"Tell me, why does that kid Li Xuan get to eat fish and meat every day?"

"Are you just going to starve here?"

"This world is so unfair!"

This sentence hit Bang Geng's guts right.

"Hmph, I'll kill him sooner or later."

Banggeng said through gritted teeth.

"Killing him would be too much of a loss, it's illegal."

Xu Damao chuckled and patted Banggeng on the shoulder, "Uncle will show you the way."

Do you know Li Xuan's bicycle?

"It's just a beat-up car, isn't it?"

"A beat-up car?"

Xu Damao's eyes widened dramatically. "You little brat, you don't know what's good for you!"

"That's the latest model from Phoenix brand!"

"Especially those two tires, I heard they're made of imported rubber."

"I inquired on the black market; those two tires alone could fetch this much after being removed!"

Xu Damao held up five fingers.

"Fifty?" Bang Geng's eyelids twitched.

"five hundred!"

Xu Damao talks a lot of nonsense; in reality, he'd only be able to sell it for a few dozen yuan at most.

But he knew how to arouse people's greed!

"And it's priceless!"

"If you can get your hands on it, just resell it..."

"Then you'll have enough for your family's food expenses for a year, and you can eat braised pork every day!"

Banggeng's breathing became rapid instantly.

Five hundred dollars!

This is an astronomical figure for him!

With this money, he could eat meat and buy new clothes.

They can even go out and have some fun!

Seeing that Bang Geng was interested, Xu Damao continued to embellish the story: "And also..."

"When Uncle came back just now, he saw Li Xuan leave in a car."

"They said they went to see some high-ranking official, so they definitely won't be back tonight."

"Then the backyard, wouldn't that be...?"

Xu Damao patted Banggeng on the shoulder and smiled meaningfully.

Then, he turned around and walked away unsteadily.

"Uncle Opportunity already told you."

"Whether you dare to do it or not depends on whether you're a real man."

Watching Xu Damao's departing figure, Banggeng licked his dry, chapped lips.

Greed gradually overwhelmed reason in their eyes!

Li Xuan is not at home.

There was no one in the backyard.

A priceless tire.

This was practically a golden opportunity for him to make a fortune!

"Li Xuan, since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust."

"This is what you owe me!"

......

Late at night, around 1-3 AM.

The entire courtyard house fell into a deep sleep.

Only the occasional bark of a dog could be heard.

A dark figure appeared like a ghost at the base of the wall in the backyard.

Banggeng was wearing a tattered black cotton-padded jacket and a pair of silent cloth shoes.

He touched his pocket, where he found a razor-sharp dagger he had bought on the black market.

He learned a lesson in the juvenile detention center!

When you're working, you need to have a tool in your hand!

If we get caught, we'll fight to the death!

He doesn't want to go back in. If anyone gets in his way of making money, he'll stab them!

Banggeng looked up at the high wall.

For him, who had been used to climbing walls and roofs since childhood, this was as easy as walking on flat ground.

He took two steps back, ran up, pushed off the wall, grabbed the wall with both hands, and gracefully flipped himself up.

Perched atop the wall, Banggeng cautiously surveyed the backyard.

Quietly.

The lights in the main room were off. It seemed Xu Damao hadn't lied; Li Xuan really wasn't home!

That brand-new Phoenix bicycle sat quietly under the eaves.

It gleamed alluringly in the moonlight.

That's not a bicycle, that's a walking pile of RMB!

The stalk's heart began to pound violently.

He grinned maliciously, pulled a dagger from his pocket, and bit it into his mouth.

Then he leaped into the backyard.

"We've struck it rich!"

His feet had just touched the ground, just as he was about to rush towards the bicycle.

Sudden.

On the rooftop, a pair of sharp, searchlight-like eagle eyes suddenly opened.

......
