Courtyard House: My max-level medical skills specialize in treating beasts.

He Yudong's actions have clearly aroused dissatisfaction among many people, and many are already planning to report him to the factory leaders for having illicit relationships.

Yang Weimin also witnessed this scene, and immediately gritted his teeth in hatred, clenched his fists, and growled, "Damn He Yudong, the hatred for stealing my wife is irreconcilable!"

Seeing Yang Weimin's reaction, Cui Dake thought to himself, "This is a kindred spirit; the enemy of my enemy is my friend." He immediately moved closer to Yang Weimin and whispered, "Brother, my name is Cui Dake. See, you also want to teach He Yudong a lesson, right?"

Yang Weimin glanced at Cui Dake and said coldly, "What's it to you?"

"To be honest, I have an irreconcilable hatred for He Yudong. I think we can join forces to kill He Yudong. What do you think?" Cui Dake said sinisterly.

"What are we going to do?" Yang Weimin sneered. "I called over a dozen of my brothers, and we couldn't beat him alone. We even got swindled out of several hundred yuan by him. Do you think you can beat him?"

"We don't necessarily have to be open about it; we can do it in a sneaky way," Cui Dake said, his eyes darting around. "I think you seem to like that Yu Haitang, right? We can use Yu Haitang..."

"Oh? What do you want to do?" Yang Weimin immediately became interested.

"Like this..." Cui Dake whispered in Yang Weimin's ear.

……

In the courtyard house.

Qin Huairu went home early, and as soon as she entered, she saw Lou Xiao'e go into Sha Zhu's room. Her eyes flashed, and she quickly followed, pushing open the door and rushing in.

Sha Zhu frowned, displeased, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I just saw that you're a grown man and you don't even know how to tidy up the house, so I came over to help you clean up," Qin Huai said, her eyes drifting towards Lou Xiao'e. "It's alright, you two chat."

As she spoke, she walked straight to Sha Zhu's bedside and even picked up Sha Zhu's underwear and shook it.

Upon seeing this, Lou Xiao'e's face immediately darkened, and she angrily said, "Qin Huairu, I'll take care of Shazhu's room, you don't need to. Go back and don't bother our family."

Sha Zhu also said with a straight face, "Yes, we need to rest."

Qin Huairu was taken aback; this wasn't right. She stared at Lou Xiao'e, unwilling to give up, and asked, "What did you just say?"

"I said, this is our home, you are not welcome here, please leave," Lou Xiao'e said, each word distinct and her eyes sharp.

"When did this place become your home?" Qin Huai asked, sticking out her neck.

"I'm with Xiao'e now, so my home is naturally her home." Sha Zhu stepped forward and blocked Qin Huairu's way. "Qin Huairu, don't keep coming to my house all the time."

"Excuse me." Qin Huai's heart sank to the bottom, and he turned and left.

It seems this tactic didn't work; Lou Xiao'e wasn't buying it at all. This trick might work on other women, but it had no effect on Lou Xiao'e, who lived in the same courtyard.

After Qin Huai left, the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. No, she couldn't just let it go like this!

That's it! Find Xu Damao! Xu Damao will definitely have a solution. Besides, although Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e are together, they're definitely not married yet. If they stay together at night, she can go to the security department and report them, saying that Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e are having an affair.

Thinking of this, Qin Huai immediately ran towards Xu Damao's house. She found it empty, and she was furious – Xu Damao was nowhere to be seen at this crucial moment!

She stormed out of the courtyard house, and just as she reached the gate, she saw Xu Damao riding back on a bicycle with a woman on the back, chatting and laughing.

"Xu Damao, who is she?" Qin Huairu immediately stopped her and questioned her.

"Brother Da Mao, who is this person?" asked Yang Xiaohong, a nurse in the back seat.

"My neighbor in the courtyard, Qin Huairu," Xu Damao said, his eyes darting around. "She's my fiancée. What's up? What do you want?"

"She's your fiancée? Then what about my sister Jingru?" Qin Huairu was furious. Xu Damao had been caught cheating on Qin Jingru by Lou Xiao'e, and now Qin Jingru had only been back in the countryside for two days, and this guy was already seeing another woman!

"What do you mean, your sister Jingru? I broke up with her a long time ago!" Xu Damao said innocently. "Xiao Hong and I were planning to get our marriage certificate. Qin Huairu, don't talk nonsense to me. I have nothing to do with your sister. Xiao Hong, let's go home."

"Okay, Brother Da Mao."

It has to be said that Xu Damao really knows how to pick up girls. In just a few days, he has already hooked up with the nurse and they are already at the point of discussing marriage.

Xu Damao pushed the cart into the courtyard, and Qin Huairu then remembered that she had been looking for Xu Damao earlier. However, now she also had her younger sister Qin Jingru to worry about. After thinking it over, she decided that dealing with Sha Zhu was more important. As for Qin Jingru, she could go back to the countryside tomorrow and find that silly girl.

Qin Huairu felt utterly exhausted.

Just then, He Yudong rode up on his bicycle, with Ding Qiunan riding in front and Yu Haitang clinging tightly to his waist behind. Widow Qin watched this scene and cursed inwardly: He Yudong is definitely no good!

"We've arrived." After saying this, He Yudong ignored Widow Qin at the gate and led the two women into the courtyard.

He Yudong immediately spotted Xu Damao leading a woman inside and couldn't help but feel curious. It seemed this guy had tricked that silly girl Qin Jingru back to her hometown while he was out fooling around. But this woman certainly didn't look as foolish as Qin Jingru.

Xu Damao also saw He Yudong and the other two. He was especially itchy when he saw Yu Haitang and Ding Qiunan. He cursed He Yudong in his heart, wondering what was so good about him.

"Hey, isn't this Xu Damao?" He Yudong stopped the car and teased with a smile, "Huh? Is this your boyfriend? Why does he look different from the one you brought back yesterday?"

"Pfft." Yu Haitang and Ding Qiunan couldn't help but burst out laughing at the same time.

Yang Xiaohong immediately looked at Xu Damao and said warily, "Brother Damao, who did he say he brought back yesterday? You can't lie to me."

"Xiao Hong, don't listen to his nonsense! I only love you!" Xu Damao exclaimed, turning to He Yudong angrily, "He Yudong, don't talk nonsense to me! When did I bring anyone back yesterday?"

"Oh? Maybe I'm mistaken, it was the day before yesterday, I think. But this one is prettier today." He Yudong looked innocent, then changed the subject, "By the way, your infertility is cured? You found a wife so quickly?"

"Pfft..." Xu Damao almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Brother Da Mao, do you have infertility?" Yang Xiaohong's expression changed. "I think we should reconsider our relationship."

Yang Xiaohong wasn't stupid; He Yudong's tone didn't seem fake. As a nurse, she was even more concerned about this. If she married him and ended up unable to have children, her life would be ruined.

"No, Xiaohong, listen to me! It's this He Yudong who's slandering me! I'm perfectly healthy, don't be fooled by him!" Xu Damao, sweating profusely, yelled at He Yudong, "He Yudong, you bastard, what are you trying to do?"

"Xu Damao, why are you in such a hurry?" He Yudong said slowly and deliberately. "Whether what I said is true or not, you can find out by going to the hospital for a checkup. Judging from her demeanor, this young lady, Xiao Hong, should be a medical professional. A girl as beautiful and outstanding as you, if she marries the wrong person and finds out he can't have children, her life will be ruined. Anyway, going to the hospital for a checkup won't take much time, and since you're a medical professional, you should understand the importance of this."

After saying that, he sighed, "Alas, a man fears choosing the wrong career, and a woman fears marrying the wrong man."

Hearing He Yudong's words, Yang Xiaohong thought they made a lot of sense. She turned to Xu Damao and said, "Xu Damao, let's go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. If there's really nothing wrong, then we can continue dating. If there is a problem, then forget it."

"No, Xiaohong, you don't trust me at all?" Xu Damao stamped his feet anxiously. "What's the point of going to the hospital for a checkup? Do you think I don't know my own body?"

Xu Damao wanted nothing more than to tear He Yudong to pieces. That kid was truly wicked! He didn't believe he was infertile, but he was also afraid that the results of a hospital checkup would be contrary to his expectations, so going to the hospital for a checkup was absolutely out of the question.

"If you're not willing, then we'll have to break up." After saying that, Yang Xiaohong turned and left.

"Hey, Xiaohong, wait a minute, let me explain!" Xu Damao hurriedly chased after her, but Yang Xiaohong completely ignored him.

He Yudong brought Yu Haitang and Ding Qiunan back home. Ding Qiunan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Yudong, you're too mean! Just a few words and that girl broke up with Xu Damao."

"How could I be bad? I was doing a good deed and saving an innocent young woman!" He Yudong said righteously and confidently. "Think about it, if that girl really married Xu Damao, and then found out that this old bastard is a barren rooster, wouldn't her life be completely ruined?"

"Brother Yudong is right! Xu Damao was never a good person to begin with. Brother Yudong, you are such a good person." Yu Haitang chimed in from the side, her eyes full of admiration.

He Yudong's lips curled up slightly, and he didn't say anything more, but he was secretly overjoyed.

"Ding! Punishing Xu Damao and saving an innocent girl, you are rewarded with 80 merit points."

Good heavens, Xu Damao is practically his merit ATM! He just gained another 80 points, bringing his total merit back to 140 points.

It seems the best approach is to keep Xu Damao, Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai, and Cui Dake—these "leeks"—handled slowly. Killing them all at once would be short-sighted, cutting off our own source of income. The way we are now, harassing them from time to time, is both satisfying and rewarding—it's like raising a flock of golden hens.

……

As soon as they entered the front yard, Lou Xiao'e was seeing off a guest. She spotted He Yudong immediately and her face lit up with a smile: "Yudong's back? Come on in, your brother's cooking. Let's have a good time today."

"Hello, sister-in-law," He Yudong greeted her with a smile.

"Hello, sister-in-law," Ding Qiunan said timidly.

"Hello, sister-in-law," Yu Haitang greeted in a crisp voice, not to be outdone.

Lou Xiao'e felt warm inside as she heard the repeated calls of "sister-in-law." Although she found the group a bit odd, she still warmly led them into the house.

Upon entering the house, it was bustling with activity. The old lady, the third uncle, and the third aunt were all there, and the house was warm and cozy.

"Oh my, my grandson is back!" The old lady's eyes lit up, her gaze sweeping past He Yudong and landing squarely on Ding Qiunan. She grinned from ear to ear, "This girl is so pretty! Is she Yudong's girlfriend?"

As she spoke, the old lady, without any hesitation, took Ding Qiunan's hand and said kindly, "Girl, come, sit next to Grandma."

Ding Qiunan felt a surge of sweetness in her heart, and blushed as she obediently sat down next to the old lady.

Watching this scene, Yu Haitang felt a lump in her throat, overwhelmed with frustration. In what way was she any less capable than Ding Qiunan? Why had the old lady chosen her?

"Um...you guys keep chatting, I'll go get some good wine. Tonight we have to properly celebrate my brother and sister-in-law's marriage." He Yudong's eyes darted around as he made an excuse to slip away.

Staying there as a third wheel at a time like this is something only a fool would do.

He Yudong went back to his room to get his treasured monkey wine. When he returned, Sha Zhu's table full of delicious dishes had just been cooked.

The Sha Zhu couple, He Yudong with his two daughters, along with Uncle San's family and the old lady, made up eight people sitting around a table, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

The aroma of the wine filled the air as soon as the jar was opened. Uncle Yan Fugui took a sip, his eyes widening instantly. He exclaimed repeatedly, "Excellent wine! I've lived most of my life and never tasted such a potent wine! It makes me feel warm and comfortable all over!"

After a few drinks, Yan Fugui's scheming mind started working again. He put down his glass and looked at He Yudong with a glint in his eye: "Um... Yudong, now that your brother is married, what about Uncle San's side..."

"Alright, Third Uncle, I know what you're trying to say." He Yudong, being a shrewd man, immediately interrupted, "Although I wasn't of much help, I appreciate the sentiment. Don't worry, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits later."

He knew that Yan Fugui was a stingy old man who loved to take advantage of others, but such people were generally not that bad; a little sweetness would shut him up. Besides, when Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e were secretly dating, this old man had helped cover for them quite a bit, diverting Xu Damao and Qin Huairu's attention to Teacher Ran, which could be considered a contribution.

"Hehe, with you saying that, Uncle San can rest assured! In this courtyard, Yu Dong, you are the most promising!" Yan Fugui immediately beamed with joy upon hearing that there was good news.

……

Some are happy, some are sad.

While He Yuzhu was overjoyed, Qin Huairu's house was as deathly silent as if someone had died.

Xu Damao was furious, his teeth itching with rage. Yang Xiaohong, whom he had almost gotten his hands on today, had been ruined by He Yudong. The thought that Sha Zhu had actually made his relationship with Lou Xiao'e public tonight only fueled his anger.

"They haven't registered their marriage...they definitely haven't registered it yet!" Xu Damao thought sinisterly. "If Lou Xiao'e doesn't come out of Sha Zhu's house tonight, I'll have the security guards catch them in the act and report them for having an affair!"

He was not going to let Sha Zhu have an easy time. If he was unhappy, then no one else could have an easy time either.

Especially when he thought of Lou Xiao'e's generous dowry and her status as a capitalist's daughter, Xu Damao's eyes lit up and a vicious plan came to mind.

……

After dinner, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

"Qiu Nan, let me take you back to your dorm first. It's too late to go back now," He Yudong said, getting up.

"Okay, Brother Yudong." Ding Qiunan nodded obediently.

Yu Haitang felt a tightness in her chest, and seeing the two about to leave, she became even more anxious. The old lady's attitude today was too obvious; if she didn't try harder, her boyfriend might really fly away.

He Yudong pushed out the bicycle, and this time Ding Qiunan didn't sit on the back seat. Instead, she sat shyly on the crossbar in front, feeling safer that way.

"Brother Yudong, this doesn't seem to be the way to the factory?" Ding Qiunan asked, looking at the unfamiliar scenery around her.

"Hmm, I'll take you somewhere." He Yudong smiled mysteriously and pushed off with his foot.

Ding Qiunan's heart started racing, and a blush of anticipation spread across her face.

Soon, the bicycle stopped in front of a quaint courtyard house. He Yudong took out his keys, opened the door, and led Ding Qiunan inside.

"Brother Yudong, this...this isn't your house either, is it?" Ding Qiunan gasped, covering her mouth in astonishment as she looked at the courtyard, which, though not as large as the one in the capital, was decorated in the exact same style. It had everything: a flat-screen TV, a washing machine, and an air conditioner. There was also a storefront in front, which looked like a clinic.

"You guessed right." He Yudong smiled and pulled her into his arms. "I plan to open a clinic here if I quit my job at the steel mill. The location is good, and it's comfortable to live in. Even if we have several children, we can still fit them in."

"Ugh! Who wants to have your baby!" Ding Qiunan blushed and playfully pushed him away. "Hey, let go of me..."

He Yudong took Ding Qiunan's hand and closed the door as soon as they entered the house.

"Didn't you promise me that we'd have a proper academic discussion? Let's start now." He Yudong had a mischievous smile on his lips.

"Oh dear, Brother Yudong! You called me here just to study medicine?" Ding Qiunan said coquettishly, her face flushed, but she didn't move away.

The so-called "academic discussion" was just a formality. After cuddling for a while, He Yudong checked his watch, worried that it was too late and the factory gates would be closed, so he rode his bicycle to take Ding Qiunan back to the factory dormitory. When they arrived at the dormitory building, Ding Qiunan's face was flushed with happiness. She hugged He Yudong and cuddled for a long time before reluctantly letting him go.

……

Meanwhile, in the courtyard house.

Yu Haitang sat in He Yushui's room, her eyes fixed on the window. He Yudong had been gone for over two hours, and there was still no sign of him. Could he be doing something with that Ding Qiunan?

Thinking about this, Yu Haitang felt a sour, unpleasant feeling, as if she had swallowed a fly.

"Yushui, what should I do? Brother Yudong is going to be snatched away by that vixen!" Yu Haitang turned to look at He Yushui, looking helpless.

"Oh dear, Haitang, don't scare yourself like that," He Yushui comforted her. "You're so pretty, and you're a radio announcer. My brother, that straight guy, will definitely like you."

"But... Brother Yudong has been gone for so long and hasn't come back yet, could it be that he's already... with Ding Qiunan?" Yu Haitang started to say, her face turning red to her ears, "...done that?"

"Huh? I don't think...right?" Even He Yushui was unsure now. She could sense that Ding Qiunan genuinely liked her brother, but Haitang was her best friend. Sigh, it's all because her brother is too outstanding, attracting so many suitors. All she could do was offer encouragement; she couldn't really make the decision.

Just then, the sound of a bicycle hitting the ground came from the courtyard gate. Yu Haitang, as if she had springs in her body, darted out in a flash.

"Brother Yudong! Why did it take you so long to come back? I... I was so worried about you!" Yu Haitang rushed over and grabbed He Yudong's arm, almost pressing herself against him.

He Yudong felt a soft touch on his arm, but didn't shake it off. He explained with a smile, "When I came back, I ran into Grandpa Guan, and he insisted on dragging me to play a few games of chess. That's why he let me come back after I won."

How could he tell the truth? He couldn't very well say that he and Ding Qiunan went to study the "Awei Eighteen Styles," could he?

Hearing this, Yu Haitang finally felt a huge weight lifted from her heart, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. But after only two seconds, her eyes narrowed, staring at He Yudong's neck: "Brother Yudong, what happened to your neck? Why is it red?"

He Yudong subconsciously touched his neck; it was the "strawberry" he had been given when he parted ways with Ding Qiunan.

"Oh, that... I guess I got bitten by a mosquito earlier. I'll just put some ointment on it when I get back and it'll be fine," He Yudong said casually.

Yu Haitang was somewhat skeptical, but where would mosquitoes come from in the dead of winter? However, as the saying goes, a woman in love has zero IQ, so she didn't delve into it further and immediately asked with concern, "How about I help you apply the medicine? You can't see it yourself, it's so inconvenient."

"Um... really, it's not necessary." He Yudong took a step back. "It's getting late, and we have to go to work early tomorrow morning. Let's get some sleep."

"Well... alright." A hint of disappointment flashed in Yu Haitang's eyes as she returned to He Yushui's room, turning back every few steps.

He Yudong also went back to his room to sleep. Tonight is Sha Zhu's wedding night, so naturally the lights were turned off early.

However, not long after the lights went out, a series of noisy footsteps suddenly came from outside, followed by a loud banging on the door.

Xu Damao, leading the security guards, stormed into the courtyard house. Leading the group was none other than Section Chief Wang, Xu Damao's sworn brother.

"Section Chief Wang, this is the room! Lou Xiao'e didn't come out at all; she must be in there having an affair with Sha Zhu! Arrest her quickly, catch her red-handed!" Xu Damao pointed at Sha Zhu's door with a sinister smile.

Section Chief Wang immediately waved his hand and led several of his men to rush to Sha Zhu's door, banging on it loudly.

"Open the door! Open the door now! If you don't open the door, we're going to break it down!" Section Chief Wang shouted at the top of his lungs.

This shout woke up many neighbors. Qin Huairu watched this scene through the crack in the window, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips: Hmph, let's see how you manage to be with Lou Xiao'e this time!

"Break down the door!" Seeing no response from inside, Section Chief Wang gave the order.

Just as the two henchmen were about to run up and crash into it, the door suddenly creaked open.

Sha Zhu had just finished dressing and opened the door with a dark expression. The two men couldn't stop themselves and rushed in, falling flat on their faces.

He Yudong also came out at this moment, wearing his clothes. When he saw that it was Xu Damao and his gang of bastards, he was furious. He Yushui and Yu Haitang also came out, wanting to see what was going on.

"What are you doing? Trying to rebel in the middle of the night?" Sha Zhu shouted angrily.

"He Yuzhu! Someone reported you for having an affair, and our security department is here to investigate!" Section Chief Wang said arrogantly, looking down at He Yuzhu. "Where's the person inside? Let her out!"

Sha Zhu was so angry he laughed. He had just gotten his marriage certificate and Xu Damao was already causing trouble with his men. There were hardly any people in this courtyard who wanted him to have a good time.

"What the hell did you say? Say it again if you dare!" Sha Zhu clenched his fist and lunged forward.

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e also came out dressed and stood calmly next to Sha Zhu.

Xu Damao, as if grasping at a straw, pointed at Lou Xiao'e and shouted, "Section Chief Wang, look! Caught red-handed! Arrest her immediately!"

"He Yuzhu, you're suspected of having illicit relationships. Come with us! Brothers, take him away... Ouch!"

Before Section Chief Wang could finish speaking, he was sent flying like a sandbag and crashed heavily to the ground.

It wasn't Sha Zhu who made the move, it was He Yudong. To be precise, he kicked him away.

The security guards were about to make their move when they saw it was He Yudong, and they immediately wilted. Several of them had been instantly killed by this ruthless star last time, and the psychological trauma was still fresh.

"You... He Yudong, it's you... you actually dared to hit me!" Section Chief Wang clutched his stomach, struggling to get up, pointing at He Yudong and screaming in pain.

He Yudong walked up to him in a few steps, raised his foot and stepped directly on Section Chief Wang's face. With a little force, Section Chief Wang let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"Since when have factory security guards been allowed to come to people's homes to catch them cheating? Who the hell gave you that right?" He Yudong's voice was icy.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Let me go! I won't do it again, Director He, I was wrong!" Section Chief Wang cried out in pain, tears and snot streaming down his face. "It's all Xu Damao's fault! Xu Damao gave me money to come and catch Sha Zhu cheating on me. I was acting under his orders... It really has nothing to do with me!"

He Yudong snorted coldly and released his foot. Section Chief Wang was about to get up when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest; he guessed his ribs were broken.

He Yudong turned around, his gaze piercing Xu Damao like a knife.

Xu Damao, terrified, retreated repeatedly, pointing at He Yudong and shouting menacingly, "You... what do you want to do? Don't come any closer! If you dare hit me, I'll sue you! I'll put you in jail!"

"Snapped!"

Without saying a word, He Yudong raised his hand and slapped Xu Damao hard across the face.

Xu Damao spun around several times, spitting out several bloody teeth, his face instantly swelling up like a pig's head.

"Xu Damao, you really are a handful! You're not disciplined for three days straight, and you're already climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles!"

Xu Damao collapsed to the ground, his mouth full of blood, and howled like a pig being slaughtered: "Murder! He Yudong murdered someone! Call the police!"

"Smack!"

He Yudong slapped him again with his backhand, landing a solid blow to his face.

Out of the corner of his eye, He Yudong noticed Qin Huairu had sneaked out; she was probably going to call the police, hoping to get him arrested for assault. He glanced at the other security guards and said calmly, "You guys want to get beaten up too?"

"He Yudong, you...you've gone too far! You've injured our Section Chief Wang; you won't get away unscathed when the police arrive!" The security guard had barely finished speaking—

"Smack!"

He Yudong rushed forward and slapped the man across the face. The man was just like Xu Damao, his mouth full of blood, several teeth knocked out, and he was screaming in pain while covering his face.

The remaining security personnel immediately cowered, shrinking back and not daring to utter a sound.

"Weren't you going to call the police? I'll wait here and see what the police have to say when they arrive." He Yudong sneered.

The security guards and Xu Damao were seething with hatred, while the onlookers were thoroughly enjoying the spectacle. In the crowd, Jia Zhangshi anxiously awaited her daughter-in-law to bring the police so that the damned He Yudong could be locked up. If only they could get rid of Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e, that pair of "adulterers"... "If we catch them all together, it will be even better."

Not long after, Qin Huairu arrived with the police. The person who arrived was none other than Nie Jun.

"Officer, he's the one who beat people up! Look at what he's done to them!" Qin Huairu pointed at He Yudong and said urgently, "Officer, you have to do justice for me! He Yudong beat people up!"

"Officers, please arrest him right now! He broke my ribs!" Xu Damao and Section Chief Wang complained with tearful faces.

"The matter hasn't been investigated clearly yet. Tell me what exactly happened?" Nie Jun looked at He Yudong with a serious expression.

"Officer, you've come at the right time. These two men broke into my house in the middle of the night with some other people, intending to commit murder. Look, they're both carrying weapons," He Yudong said.

Upon hearing this, the security guards immediately threw away the sticks they were holding.

"Throwing it away won't help, I saw it all," Nie Jun said coldly.

"No, officer, don't listen to his nonsense! We're from the steel mill's security department, here to arrest He Yuzhu for having an affair! Look, they're living together illegally!" Section Chief Wang argued, pointing at Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e.

"That's right! Officer, I can testify!" Xu Damao shouted along.

Nie Jun glanced at He Yuzhu, then looked at He Yudong questioningly.

"Brother, show me your marriage certificate. They've already registered their marriage, so how can living together as a married couple be considered illegal cohabitation?" He Yudong sneered.

"Xiao'e, go inside and get your certificate," Sha Zhu said to Lou Xiao'e.

"Mm." Lou Xiao'e nodded, turned around and went into the house.

"I don't believe they have a marriage certificate!" Xu Damao sneered.

"ah--!"

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his hand as He Yudong stomped hard on it.

"Officer, look! He hit me again!" Xu Damao cried out in despair.

By this time, He Yudong had already withdrawn his foot and said calmly, "Xu Damao, you need to provide evidence before you speak, or I might sue you for defamation."

Qin Huairu felt a sudden panic—had Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e really gotten their marriage certificate? What was she going to do? That damned Sha Zhu, he actually got the certificate without saying a word!

She trembled slightly, her resentment multiplying several times over. Why did you choose Lou Xiao'e, who couldn't have children, and not me? What did I lack compared to her?

Since you're not letting me have an easy time, then none of us should have an easy time!

Qin Huairu's eyes were filled with resentment and malice, a scene witnessed by He Yudong. He knew perfectly well that this widow was probably up to something again.

A moment later, Lou Xiao'e came out with the marriage certificate and handed it to Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu immediately threw the certificate in front of Xu Damao and Section Chief Wang, angrily shouting, "Open your dog eyes and look at this! What is this? We are a legally married couple, what law have we broken by living together?"

He Yudong looked at Nie Jun: "Officer, shouldn't their actions constitute burglary?"

"That's right, now things are clear. You guys are suspected of breaking and entering and committing murder. Come with us." After saying that, Nie Jun subtly winked at He Yudong.

He Yudong smirked. Xu Damao and Section Chief Wang, however, were unwilling to give up. Section Chief Wang shouted, "Officer, I was misled! This has nothing to do with me! It was all Xu Damao's idea. Just arrest Xu Damao!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Get out of here, or you'll be obstructing official business!" Nie Jun shouted.

"Officer, what about He Yudong assaulting me? I'm injured like this!" Xu Damao cried, looking dejected.

"You deserve it! It's a miracle you weren't killed. Comrade He Yudong's actions were self-defense!" Nie Jun shouted angrily.

Xu Damao and Section Chief Wang were furious; they had been beaten up for nothing and then taken away by the police.
