1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chapter 351 The deaf old lady resolves the crisis again

When the deaf old lady said this idea, Yi Zhonghai felt like he was struck by lightning. He was stunned at first, and then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if someone who had been wandering in the darkness for a long time suddenly saw a ray of light.

The corners of his mouth, which had been tightly pursed, slightly lifted up, revealing an imperceptible smile. His originally dim eyes instantly brightened up, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

"Old lady, your idea is really great!" Yi Zhonghai said excitedly, his voice trembling slightly, with deep admiration for the deaf old lady.

He paced back and forth in the room, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of the plan, or as if he was trying to calm down his excitement.

"I was really worried before. I was afraid that Xu Damao would bite me like a mad dog. I didn't know what to do. You really pointed out a clear way for me this time!"

Yi Zhonghai stopped and looked at the deaf old lady sincerely: "Old lady, please wait, I will go back soon and ask Xiulan to bring you food, you should have a good rest. You are my pillar of support, with you around, I don't have to worry about anything."

After leaving the deaf old lady's house, Yi Zhonghai felt much more relaxed, but at the same time a little nervous.

That feeling was as if a pair of invisible hands had gently pushed open a gap in the dark cloud that had been weighing heavily on his heart like a boulder, allowing a few rays of hope to shine in, allowing him to see the direction again. However, the dark cloud was still there and could gather again at any time.

As he walked along the road in the courtyard, he secretly rejoiced.

It was a blessing for him that he had earned through several lifetimes to have someone as wise as the deaf old lady to guide him.

Although he did not have the 600 yuan in cash on hand at this moment, he knew very well in his mind that Xu Damao was like a bomb buried next to him, which could explode at any time and blow to pieces everything he had now.

This trouble must be resolved as soon as possible. We must not allow it to develop and put ourselves in an irretrievable situation.

As night falls, the courtyard is shrouded in a layer of quiet night.

It was already very late at night, and the entire courtyard seemed to be on mute. It was so quiet that only the occasional chirping of insects in the grass could be heard.

The sound of insects chirping seemed particularly clear in the silent night. Each sound was like the heartbeat of the night, beating rhythmically.

Taking advantage of the dead of night, Yi Zhonghai came to the door of Xu Damao's house with light footsteps like a night cat.

He first looked around cautiously, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he gently raised his hand and knocked on the door twice very lightly. The sound was as faint as the breeze blowing through the leaves.

With every knock, his heart rose to his throat, fearing that the slightest sound would break the tranquility of the night and attract unnecessary attention.

From the room came Xu Damao's dissatisfied grumbling, followed by the sound of dragging footsteps in slippers.

The door creaked open a crack, and Xu Damao's sleepy and alert face appeared.

Seeing that it was Yi Zhonghai, a malicious smile appeared on his lips. Just as he was about to mock loudly, Yi Zhonghai rushed forward, covered his mouth, pushed him into the house, and then quickly closed the door.

"Are you crazy? Do you want to wake up everyone in the hospital?" Yi Zhonghai lowered his voice, his eyes full of warning, his heart beating violently due to the sudden tension.

He knew that once he woke up the people in the courtyard, their affairs would spread throughout the entire courtyard like wings, and then they would be completely finished.

Xu Damao was a little confused by this sudden action, but he quickly reacted, with a gleam of success in his eyes.

He shook off Yi Zhonghai's hand and whispered, "Humph, Yi Zhonghai, you still dare to come?"

His voice was small but full of provocation.

Yi Zhonghai frowned, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "Xu Damao, we need to talk, don't make things worse."

He tried to keep his voice steady, but he couldn't completely hide the nervousness in his heart.

He knew very well that this conversation concerned his reputation and the future of him and Qin Huairu. One wrong step would lead to a complete failure.

Xu Damao sneered: "Talk? What qualifications do you have to talk to me? Tell the truth, Yi Zhonghai, you and Qin Huairu are having an affair!"

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath, took a step forward, and stared at Xu Damao with a sharp gaze: "Xu Damao, I know you think you have the upper hand over me now, but don't forget that you and Lou Xiao'e, the little girl of the Lou family, are discussing marriage. If you want to ruin my reputation, I won't let you off easily. I will tell Lou Xiao'e about the scandals between you and Qin Huairu, exaggerating them. Do you think she will still be with you after she knows it?"

His voice was low, but every word hit Xu Damao's heart like a heavy hammer.

When Xu Damao heard the name "Lou Xiao'e", his face turned pale.

Lou Xiao'e was the key to his climbing up the Lou family and changing his destiny, and he placed too many hopes on her.

What's more, Lou Xiao'e was very good to him, so how could he let the duck that he had already got fly away?

He was panicking and his eyes began to flicker, but he still said stubbornly, "You... don't use Xiao'e to scare me. Do you think I will believe you?"

Yi Zhonghai saw Xu Damao's panic, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a trace of disdain: "You don't believe it? Do you want to see, I tell her everything about you and Qin Huairu, do you think the Lou family will let you go? Lou Xiao'e is a person who can't tolerate any sand in her eyes. If she knows you are such a person, she will definitely break up with you. By then, not only will you lose her, your reputation in the factory will also be tarnished. Can you still keep your job? You can just wait to lose both your money and your life."

As he spoke, he observed Xu Damao's performance and gradually gained confidence.

On the forehead of Xu Damao opposite him, beads of sweat oozed out, sparkling under the light and Yi Zhonghai could see them clearly.

I couldn't help but feel proud in my heart. Xu Damao is scared now? What a coward.

Xu Damao on the opposite side began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind. It seemed that two paths appeared before him: one was to fight to the death with Yi Zhonghai, but the result might be losing everything; the other was to compromise temporarily and find a chance for revenge later.

Xu Damao gritted his teeth, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes: "Okay, Yi Zhonghai, you are so cruel. I will let you and Qin Huairu go this time, but you must return my money obediently, otherwise I will not let you go. I am not afraid of you, I just don't want you two to ruin my good deeds."

There was resentment in his voice and his clenched fists showed the anger in his heart.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao and felt relieved, but he knew that today's incident was over.

He nodded and said seriously: "As long as you don't cause trouble, I won't bother with you anymore. I hope you can keep your promise and don't play any tricks anymore." After that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Xu Damao looked at Yi Zhonghai's back, clenched his fists, veins popped out, and his eyes were full of hatred: "Yi Zhonghai, just wait, I will settle this account sooner or later."
