Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

If He Daqing is satisfied, she can also go to Wu Junnan's home to meet his parents. If all goes well, they can get married this year and enjoy the happiness of love.

Wu Junnan frowned, "This weekend? I don't know if I'm free."

He Yushui's face immediately darkened after hearing this. Wu Junnan quickly explained, "Listen to me, Yushui. I'm not trying to shirk responsibility, but our agency is currently investigating a major case involving human trafficking."

Hearing this, He Yushui's expression relaxed and he asked softly, "What's going on? I haven't heard you say that before?"

"We just discovered it recently. A few street kids suddenly went missing in the city. A kind-hearted person reported it to us, so we checked it out.

You wouldn't know until you investigate, but once you do, you'll be shocked. You've actually discovered a clue to an extremely secretive and complete human trafficking ring.

They have been around for several years, and this has immediately attracted the attention of the higher-ups. In order to catch the murderer, our station will be very busy during this period. I am afraid that we will not be able to rest on weekends."

He Yushui nodded after hearing this. She had always hated human traffickers. Now they were blocking her path to love. Damn it!

"That's fine, but you still have to find time to come home with me as soon as possible. I want to announce our relationship as soon as possible."

Wu Junnan was also very touched after hearing this. "Don't worry, I will ask the director for leave when I get back. I will try to get a few hours of vacation time so that I can go to your house and have a meal cooked by the chef."

He Yushui was even happier after hearing this, because she knew she had not misjudged the person.

……

Let’s talk about Sha Zhu again. After he went home to change his clothes, he took some money and went out. When he passed by the front yard, he picked a flower that Yan Bugui grew.

Arriving at the entrance of Liu Ruyan's alley, Sha Zhu suddenly hesitated. Was he really going to go to Liu Ruyan so directly?

Is this a bit too abrupt? What if it affects my position in her heart?

For a moment, Sha Zhu hesitated.

Finally, when Sha Zhu mustered up the courage to knock on the door, Liu Ruyan's voice came from behind him, "Comrade He Yuzhu, why are you here?"

Sha Zhu turned around instantly and saw Liu Ruyan coming back from buying groceries. His face instantly turned red and he said embarrassedly, "Hello, Comrade Liu."

Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "Comrade He Yuzhu, are you here to see me?"

"Ah, yes, no, I was just passing by and somehow ended up here. I came across a flower on the way and it looked pretty so I thought I'd pick it and give it to you."

Sha Zhu was a little incoherent and couldn't speak clearly. He just stretched out his hand and placed the flowers in front of Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan looked at the shy man in front of her and felt a burst of laughter in her heart. "Are all men like this? They can't even speak properly in front of pretty girls?"

"Thank you, Comrade He Yuzhu, I like this flower very much."

"I'm glad you like it. Nothing else, I'll leave first." Sha Zhu smiled, really like a fool.

"Don't go, it's almost time for dinner. Come eat at my house before you leave. This is a great way for me to repay you for saving my life."

Liu Ruyan tried to persuade him to stay, and Sha Zhu immediately agreed and followed her into the house.

Chapter 645: Dating

At the dinner table, Sha Zhu praised the food cooked by Liu Ruyan highly. He ate several bowls in a row and almost licked the plates clean.

After dinner, he took the initiative to help Liu Ruyan wash the dishes, just like a dog.

After doing all this, Sha Zhu fell into an awkward situation again. He didn't know what to do or what to say.

When Liu Ruyan saw this, she knew that Sha Zhu had some ulterior motives, but this also happened to fit her thoughts.

The most important thing for her in this line of work is to seduce men, gain their trust, find out their family situation, find the right opportunity, have their children abducted, and finally get away.

They usually target families with children, such as single people, because they are easier to target and won't attract too much attention.

They don't meet many people like Sha Zhu.

She stared at Sha Zhu and said, "Comrade He Yuzhu, you came to see me not just to give me flowers, right?"

Hearing Liu Ruyan say this, Sha Zhu panicked for a moment. He didn't expect Liu Ruyan to ask this, and he didn't know whether he should tell the truth.

The second time we met, he told her he wanted to marry her. This was too abrupt.

But if he lied to Liu Ruyan, he was afraid that it would affect the future development of both of them.

After thinking for a while, Sha Zhu said apologetically, "Actually, I came here to ask you something, but I'm a little embarrassed to ask."

"Just tell me if you have any problems. You saved me. As long as you don't do anything illegal, I will definitely help you." The human trafficker Liu Ruyan said generously.

After hearing this, Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't I go on a blind date the day we met? But it wasn't very successful. When I got home, my dad asked me how it went.

I didn't want to disappoint him, so I said the blind date was great, and my dad was very happy, and asked me to bring the person back to him in the next two days. But I wasn't talking about my blind date, I was talking about... you.

Shazhu barely uttered the last word, the sound was even quieter than the buzzing of a mosquito.

But Liu Ruyan still guessed what Sha Zhu meant, "I understand. You mean you want me to pretend to be your blind date and go home with you to fool your father?"

Sha Zhu nodded awkwardly, but there was a hint of expectation in his eyes. He wanted more than just a pretense, but to make it real.

Liu Ruyan was silent for a moment and then said, "Comrade He Yuzhu, let me tell you a story."

Sha Zhu nodded quickly, "Go ahead and talk, I'm listening."

Then Liu Ruyan told a story about a girl whose father gambles, whose mother is sick, whose younger brother is studying, whose brothers and sisters all depend on her, whose ex-husband is a domestic abuser and a gambler, and whose life is difficult and pitiful.

Sha Zhu was so moved that he cried, "I never thought you would have such an experience. It's really pitiful."

"It's nothing, it's all in the past, just a few rough patches." Liu Ruyan's eyes gleamed with tears, her voice trembling slightly. Clearly, these past events weren't as simple as she'd made them out to be.

Wiping away tears, Liu Ruyan looked at Sha Zhu, "Comrade He Yuzhu, I'm not telling you all this to tell you how pitiful I am.

I want to tell you that I can play this drama with you to repay your kindness, but what about the future? Will I have to play this drama with you again?

You can act once, twice, but you can't keep acting like this. I still have my own life to live, and I'm going to get married in the future. I'm already a second marriage and no one wants me, so why would I be with you again?

"I want!"

Sha Zhu suddenly spoke loudly, which scared Liu Ruyan and Sha Zhu himself.

Sha Zhu didn't know why he suddenly said such a thing. Maybe he felt sorry for Liu Ruyan, or maybe he thought this was an opportunity. Anyway, he said it subconsciously.

After saying this, Sha Zhu felt relieved for a moment, but then he became nervous again. He didn't know how Liu Ruyan would react.

As for Liu Ruyan, she was very surprised after hearing what Sha Zhu said. She wondered if the process was faster.

Fortunately, Liu Ruyan was also a veteran actor with many years of experience. She immediately took over the role and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Looking at Liu Ruyan's slightly expectant eyes, Sha Zhu suddenly felt a surge of courage. He risked his life, "I want you! Comrade Liu Ruyan, I, He Yuzhu, formally propose to you for a relationship."

Liu Ruyan was very touched, "This man is so easy to deceive."

"really?"

"Really, that's actually why I came here today. Believe it or not, but when I first saw you, I fell in love with you.

But I didn't know your situation at that time, and I was just a divorced man with two children. I felt inferior and thought I was not worthy of you.

But now I know that happiness must be fought for. Comrade Liu Ruyan, are you willing to give me such a chance?

Liu Ruyan was stunned by Sha Zhu's remarks. What a bullshit idea.

Instead of thinking about improving themselves, they feel that they are not good enough. When they see that others are similar to themselves, they think they are worthy of each other and that they are lucky. It is really unreasonable.

She didn't dare to think about it. If Sha Zhu's personality was a little more extreme, when he met someone he liked but was not worthy of, would he directly destroy that person's family and then save others from the dire situation?

It really is like "I'll save you from the fire and water, but you don't care where the fire and water come from!"

But she still showed a surprised expression, and asked with tears in her eyes, "Is everything you said true?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, I can swear."

Sha Zhu stretched out his finger and was about to swear, but Liu Ruyan blocked his mouth with her finger, "I believe you."

This wave of operations was completely under Sha Zhu's control. He couldn't bear it anymore. His face turned red and his heart beat faster.

"So are you willing to date me?" Sha Zhu couldn't help but ask.

Liu Ruyan did not respond directly, but turned her head away and did not look directly at Sha Zhu.

Then, in Sha Zhu's eyes, this action was a sign of shyness. For girls, it is inevitable to be shy when talking about such a big thing.

"Then let's do it this weekend. I'll pick you up and take you to our house."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Sha Zhu left happily. When he thought about Liu Ruyan agreeing to date him, his heart felt warm, as if there was a stove inside.

"I never thought I would be so lucky to meet a good girl like Ruyan. Shufen, I believe you would be happy for me if you are still in heaven."

Whether Yang Shufen was happy or not was not discussed for now, but Yan Bugui was definitely not happy.

"Who the hell pulled out my flowers? Do you have any sense of public morality? Don't you know you shouldn't touch other people's things? You have no manners at all!"

Yan Bugui, who skipped class and came back early, saw that one of the flowers placed in front of his house was missing as soon as he entered the house. After careful observation, he was sure that it had been pinched away by someone in a rough manner.

He was immediately furious. Was he pinching flowers? This was his money!

Chapter 646: Cruel Destruction of Flowers

"My dear, have you seen my flowers?"

"What flowers? I went out to pick up rubbish today and just came back. I didn't notice it."

"Someone picked my flower, the best one in bloom." Yan Bugui said angrily.

"What?" Aunt Yang quickly ran out and took a closer look. It was true. The best flower had been picked away.

"Hey, who is so shameless as to pick someone else's flowers? Don't you know this is my private property?"

Aunt Yang was so angry that she started cursing.

The flowers in their house weren't just any flowers; they were the kind you could sell for money. Just one flower would fetch at least seven or eight yuan. Even if she spent a month picking up scraps, she wouldn't be able to earn that much.

The two of them took the flower pot and went door to door asking, and finally found out the culprit, Sha Zhu!

"Silly Zhu! How dare you destroy such a beautiful girl? I want you to die!" Yan Bugui's words were a little confused, and his remarks were quite ambiguous.

For example, he said that Sha Zhu ruthlessly picked his flowers, but after the initial spread, it became that Sha Zhu ruthlessly destroyed Yan Bugui's flowers.

Of course, Yan Bugui didn't know all this. At that moment, he was sitting at the door with a flower pot in his hand, looking angry, waiting for Sha Zhu to come back.

He decided that he had to cheat Sha Zhu out of at least ten dollars this time.

Soon, Sha Zhu came back with a cheerful face, and next to him was He Daqing, who also had a smile on his face.

Sha Zhu had already said that Liu Ruyan would be coming to their house this weekend. They would then have a look around and, if it was suitable, they would set a date and get the marriage certificate as soon as possible.

Since both of them are getting married for the second time, there is no need to be so particular. It’s enough if they like each other.

If Sha Zhu didn't have a father, the two of them might have gone to get their marriage certificate today.

"Stupid column!"

An angry shout interrupted Sha Zhu's good mood.

Yan Bugui ran up to Sha Zhu angrily, raised his head and shouted, "Sha Zhu! You must give me an explanation today!"

"Explanation? What explanation? Old Yan, stop looking for trouble. I'm in a good mood today, so I can let you go. Otherwise, did you see my fist as big as a sandbag?" Sha Zhu clenched his fist and shook it in front of Yan Bugui, full of threats.

But Yan Bugui was not afraid at all. No one could stop him from asking Sha Zhu for compensation today.

"You are in a good mood, but I am in a bad mood. Let me ask you, did you pick the flowers I planted?"

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Is that all? Old Yan, you're getting senile. It's just a flower, and you've cornered me here and are trying to cause trouble for me in front of so many people?"

Because of the uniqueness of the Siheyuan with its many strange things and the constant accidents, many people from nearby come here specifically to chat, just to be the first to eat the fresh melon.

For example, now, there are already quite a few people watching the fun, including Xu Damao and Jiang Fan.

"I don't care about that. I just want to ask you if you picked my flowers?"

The silly scoundrel said, "Yes, so what? What can you do?"

Xu Damao frowned slightly, "Shazhu's expression really makes him want to get beaten up. I want to beat him up."

Jiang Fan agreed, "I support you."

"You admit it, right? You ruthless bastard! You have to pay me compensation!" Yan Bugui grabbed Sha Zhu's wrist, and a powerful force burst out from his thin palm, which made Sha Zhu feel a little painful.

"Old Yan, please give me some face. If you have anything to say, let's talk in the yard and don't make a fool of ourselves outside." He Daqing came up to smooth things over. He and Yan Bugui had an average relationship, but Sha Zhu was about to remarry, so it was better not to offend others at this time to avoid accidents.
