Courtyard House: Is Xu Damao a childless man? Let me help.

"Xu Damao! You stop right there! Have you finished making a scene? Shouldn't you settle the score for hitting my foot with a brick earlier?!"

Xu Damao was already angry, and Uncle Yi's words only made him angrier. However, Xu Damao didn't want to waste too much time arguing with Uncle Yi about this matter.

So he simply took out a dollar from his pocket and threw it on the ground, saying, "Here's a dollar for you. Go home and apply the medicine yourself. I don't have time to argue with you here!"

After saying that, Xu Damao went straight to his house, which infuriated Uncle Yi. However, no one spoke up for him at that moment, and the matter was left unresolved.

Chapter 173 Xu Damao Leads a Team to Raid a House? Go raid the air!

After returning home, Xu Damao didn't sulk at home. Instead, he changed his clothes and went straight out. Since Lou Xiao'e was so heartless, then he wouldn't be so unjust!

Seeing Xu Damao change his clothes and leave, Ye Jianchuan shook his head inwardly. Actually, when Xu Damao discovered that his things were missing, Ye Jianchuan's initial plan was to shift the blame onto Bang Geng.

This way, they could successfully lure Uncle Yi and Jia Zhangshi into the fray. However, since Qin Huairu was still reluctant to part with her precious son, Ye Jianchuan had no choice but to find another way.

Of course, the incident where Xu Damao hit Grandpa Yi's instep with a brick earlier seems like a good opportunity. We might be able to use this incident to stir up conflict between them.

. . . . . .

After leaving his home, Xu Damao went straight to Deputy Factory Director Li's house.

When Deputy Factory Director Li saw that Xu Damao actually had the nerve to come to their door, he was furious and, with a stern face, was about to drive Xu Damao away.

Xu Damao quickly begged for forgiveness, "Director Li, Director Li! Please calm down! I've come here to apologize, and I also bring a very important message!"

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Deputy Factory Director Li became even more unhappy. "How dare you say that? Didn't you say the same thing when you were in my office last time?"

And in the end? Not only did we make a wasted trip, but we also got ourselves into trouble. My brother is probably ready to skin you alive right now!

Xu Damao could only force a smile and say, "Factory Manager, you know I've always been loyal to you! Ye Jianchuan's money is definitely from questionable sources! It's just that we've all been fooled by him!"

He was more skilled, and we weren't well prepared, so I had to admit defeat last time. But this time it's different. This time, this news isn't something I heard from others!

There is solid evidence! And this time, the news will bring you far more than what that guy Ye Jianchuan could have done last time! This time it's a huge windfall!

Although he was very angry, Deputy Factory Director Li suppressed his anger when he heard that the benefits this time would be much greater than the last time, and gestured for Xu Damao to continue.

Xu Damao looked around and then whispered, "Factory manager, you should also know Director Lou of our steel rolling mill, right?"

Deputy Factory Director Li was a smart man, not a complete fool like Uncle Er. As soon as Xu Damao mentioned a Director Lou, Deputy Factory Director Li understood. A look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he immediately invited Xu Damao to his home.

Once inside the house, Deputy Factory Director Li led Xu Damao directly to the study. After they both sat down, Xu Damao was allowed to continue explaining in detail.

"Director Li, as you know, I used to be the son-in-law of the Lou family, so you may not know about the Lou family's affairs, but I know them all."

Their wealth isn't just what's on the surface; they've hidden quite a bit more behind the scenes!

Deputy Factory Director Li felt a surge of envy, but he was still somewhat worried. "Is everything you're saying true? But... without any evidence, we can't really take action!"

When this issue was brought up, Xu Damao's expression turned grim. "Director Li, we did have evidence. When Lou Xiao'e married into our family, she brought a whole box of dowry with her."

Do you know what's in this dowry box? It's a box full of gold! More than twenty gold bars this big!

After I was released this time, I originally planned to bring a few gold bars to offer as a token of my respect to you, but when I got back, I found that all the gold bars were gone!

"It must have been that woman Lou Xiao'e who stole all the gold bars! Let's act now and search the Lou family's house thoroughly; we're sure to find something valuable!"

After Xu Damao spoke, Deputy Factory Director Li's expression changed several times. He then secretly glanced at Xu Damao a couple of times before speaking.

"Stolen? Really?"

Xu Damao nodded. "Yes, Lou Xiao'e is too heartless. We were husband and wife, but she not only disrespected me, but now she's taken all my dowry."

Since she's so heartless and ungrateful, then I won't show her any mercy either! That's why I've come to find you."

Deputy Factory Director Li genuinely looked down on Xu Damao, and he was also a little unhappy that this guy had managed to hoard so many gold bars but hadn't given him a little more as a "tribute."

However, he couldn't show his unhappiness. For the sake of money, he decided to send his younger brother on the trip again.

After Deputy Factory Director Li made some arrangements, Xu Damao happily ran off to the steel rolling mill to "meet" with the security personnel.

Led by Xu Damao, a group of guards excitedly barged into the Lou family's small building.

But... something astonished Xu Damao: although a lot of furniture and appliances were still inside the Lou family's small building, there was no one in sight.

0 ......

Moreover, aside from furniture, which is not very valuable, there is nothing else of value to be seen. Anything hanging on the wall, in the cabinets, or on the table—anything of even slightly value—is nowhere to be found.

Xu Damao was dumbfounded. What was going on? Where were the Lou family members? Had they already fled?

That's right! The Lou family had already run away! Thanks to Ye Jianchuan's reminder, they had already fled before Xu Damao even came out. Now Xu Damao has been out for three days, and it's estimated that the whole family has settled down in Hong Kong.

When Deputy Director Li, who was leading the team, saw this situation, he was also a little confused. This was quite different from what his brother had told him on the phone earlier!

This room... aside from the fact that the decor is quite nice, rather luxurious, it doesn't look like it could hide any valuables!

Xu Damao also knew that if he couldn't find anything valuable this time, he would probably be abandoned by Deputy Factory Director Li.

So he immediately rushed into Director Lou's study and began searching through it, hoping to find something left behind.

Although the Lou family's evacuation this time wasn't particularly sudden, it did deviate somewhat from the original plan and was brought forward considerably. As a result, the Lou family actually had some things they didn't have time to take with them.

Chapter 174 Second Master Begins His Actions

However... those things that weren't taken away or disposed of in time are no longer with the Lou family, even if we rewind time by a dozen hours.

It was a little past 2 a.m. on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month when Ye Jianchuan came to the Lou family in the middle of the night.

The only things the Lou family hadn't packed away were two boxes, which were all placed in Lou Xiao'e's bedroom. This was something Chairman Lou had told Ye Jianchuan before he left.

These things are already considered relatively worthless, because there's simply no time to deal with them, so they're just left behind.

If Ye Jianchuan can find a way to retrieve them, then these things will belong to Ye Jianchuan. If he can't retrieve them, then they will only benefit those who come to search the Lou family.

If this were left to an ordinary person, "207" might have some difficulty, but for Ye Jianchuan, it was not a problem at all.

I put the shoes on with the shoe covers provided by the system, went inside, put the items into the storage space, and then left. The whole process took less than two minutes.

So... Xu Damao's last straw was actually pulled out by Ye Jianchuan a dozen hours earlier.

In the end, the six or seven people from the steel mill's security office searched the Lou family's small building for two whole hours, smashing the walls and floors, but still couldn't find anything of value.

In the end, all I could do was move a few large pieces of furniture that were inconvenient to carry away and take them back to report.

Naturally, Deputy Factory Director Li was not satisfied with this outcome. Having been tricked by Xu Damao three times in a row, Deputy Director Li was very unhappy.

So, Xu Damao's fate was predictable. He was treated to good tea when he entered, but when he left, he not only had a slap mark on his face, but also several footprints on his body.

. . . . . .

Around 10 p.m., Xu Damao quietly returned to the courtyard house. Ye Jianchuan heard the noise outside and immediately got up to check.

Upon seeing the large footprints on Xu Damao's back, one could immediately guess the outcome of Xu Damao's 'operation'.

This is exactly what Ye Jianchuan wanted to see, and... that's not all! When Uncle Er reports it again tomorrow, that'll be Xu Damao's most desperate moment.

However, now that Xu Damao and Second Uncle have arranged their work, it's not a good idea for First Uncle and Jia Zhangshi to just sit around waiting!

Therefore, Ye Jianchuan had to consider the next steps. Even if he couldn't arrange all four of them at once, he should at least let them fight each other.

Don't forget someone and then secretly cause trouble for me behind my back, that would be bad.

This old man usually doesn't go looking for trouble unless it's related to his retirement. Getting him to take the initiative to cause trouble is probably going to be difficult.

Even though Xu Damao hit his instep this time, judging from Uncle Yi's appearance, he should be prepared to accept his bad luck. So it might be difficult to get to Uncle Yi.

But Jia Zhangshi is different. This old lady Jia Zhangshi is a restless person, and now that I heard the family has no source of income, could I start from this point and get Jia Zhangshi to do something?

However, although the idea was there, it was still a bit difficult to implement. If you were to ask who hated Ye Jianchuan the most in the entire compound, Jia Zhangshi would probably be number one.

Even the hatred that Uncle Yi felt for Ye Jianchuan probably wasn't as deep as that felt for Jia Zhangshi.

If Ye Jianchuan suddenly took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Jia Zhangshi, even a ghost would know there was definitely something wrong.

Therefore, how to get Jia Zhangshi to "take action" became a topic that needed to be carefully studied.

After thinking for a long time, Ye Jianchuan still couldn't come up with a suitable solution. If he couldn't take the initiative to find Jia Zhangshi, then the best way was to have someone else go to find Jia Zhangshi.

But who should be sent? Qin Huairu? That's definitely out of the question. In Jia Zhangshi's list of enemies, the first one is naturally Uncle Yi, and Qin Huairu and herself are ranked second and third respectively.

So sending Qin Huairu or sending her directly makes little difference. But besides Qin Huairu, who else can take on this important task?

Third Uncle? No, although Third Uncle can be considered 'one of us,' that's relative. My image in Third Uncle's eyes has always been quite good...

Therefore, it's best not to do things like deliberately causing trouble or intentionally provoking conflicts with neighbors in front of Uncle San.

Similarly, someone as straightforward, or rather one-sided, as Sha Zhu is also incapable of shouldering such a great responsibility.

After much deliberation, Ye Jianchuan finally decided to wait until things had escalated further before making any further plans. He simply couldn't think of any way to get Jia Zhangshi to continue causing trouble at Uncle Yi's house.

After all, Jia Zhangshi had just gotten a sum of money from the Yi family and was quite satisfied. The two had just reached a 'reconciliation' and even celebrated the Lantern Festival together today. It would be quite difficult to sow discord under these circumstances.

. . . . . .

And so, the Lantern Festival came to an end. On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, after returning to work, Uncle Er followed Ye Jianchuan's advice and went directly to Deputy Factory Director Li.

After knocking and entering, Deputy Factory Director Li was clearly bewildered. Who was this person? He didn't recognize him at all! What did he want?

As for Uncle Er, he's a complete idiot. His language skills are so awkward that he always goes off-topic when he introduces himself.

“Deputy Factory Director Li, I am Liu 2.5 Haizhong, a level seven forging worker. I live in the same courtyard as Shazhu and the others! I am the second oldest in our courtyard!”

Deputy Factory Director Li quickly interrupted Uncle Er's 'self-introduction,' which was rambling and disjointed, giving everyone a headache.

"Wait, wait, wait, Comrade Liu... Comrade Liu Haizhong, what brings you to my office?"

"Deputy Factory Director Li, I'm here to report someone! I'm reporting Xu Damao from our factory for secretly keeping gold bars at home!"

Li, who had been looking absent-minded, suddenly became interested and immediately stared at Uncle Er with wide eyes.

"What? Hiding gold bars? Who are you talking about? Xu Damao?"

Uncle Er nodded. "Yes, it's Xu Damao. He also lives in the same courtyard as me. He's the projectionist at our factory!"
