Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Chapter 1053 Anger and Fear

"He Yudong, just wait for me, I won't let you go!" Yi Zhonghai said gritting his teeth.

He Yudong sneered, "I'll wait for you!"

He turned around and pulled Qin Huairu out of the courtyard.

After returning home, Qin Huairu looked at He Yudong with a worried look on her face, "Yudong, are you okay?"

He Yudong shook his head, "I'm fine."

"Yi Zhonghai's son will definitely not give up. What should we do?" Qin Huairu asked.

He Yudong pondered for a moment and said, "If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our own army; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. I am not afraid of him at all!"

He paused, then said: "Huai Ru, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would be in danger today."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "We are friends, we should help each other."

He Yudong looked at Qin Huairu with his eyes full of gratitude. He knew that Qin Huairu was not only his friend, but also his benefactor.

"Huai Ru..." He Yudong hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Qin Huairu asked.

He Yudong took a deep breath and said, "Huai Ru, I like you!"

Qin Huairu was stunned. She didn't expect He Yudong to confess his love suddenly.

"Yudong, I..."

"I know you still have Jia Dongxu in your heart, but I believe that one day you will forget him and fall in love with me." He Yudong interrupted her.

Qin Huairu was silent, she didn't know what to say.

He Yudong walked up to Qin Huairu and hugged her gently, "Huairu, give me a chance, okay?"

Qin Huairu's body trembled slightly, but she did not refuse He Yudong's hug.

The two of them hugged each other tightly, and no one spoke.

Outside the window, the night deepened and the courtyard was silent.

However, at this moment, a rapid knock on the door broke the silence.

He Yudong and Qin Huairu were both startled and they quickly separated.

"Who is it?" He Yudong asked.

"It's me, Shazhu!" A familiar voice came from outside the door.

He Yudong was stunned for a moment. Silly Zhu? Why is he here?

He opened the door and saw Sha Zhu standing outside with an anxious look on his face.

"Shazhu, why are you here?" He Yudong asked.

"Something happened! Something terrible happened!" Sha Zhu said breathlessly, "The uncle... the uncle... he's dead!"

Yi Zhonghai's son, also named Yi Zhonghai, came out of prison and was not as decadent as imagined. He wore a clean shirt, his hair was combed meticulously, and his eyes were sharp, like a dormant beast. He walked straight to He Yudong, with a sneer on his lips, "Are you He Yudong?"

He Yudong's heart tightened, and he subconsciously took a step back and hid behind Qin Huairu. "What...what do you want to do?"

The young Yi Zhonghai sneered, "What? Of course I want justice! My father is old, and you have ruined his family. I have to settle this account with you!"

Qin Huairu stood up and blocked He Yudong. "Yi Zhonghai, your father deserves what he got! If you dare to mess around, I will go to the street office to sue you!"

"Sue me?" The young Yi Zhonghai seemed to have heard something funny. "Go ahead and sue me! Let's see if they will do anything!" He pushed Qin Huairu away and grabbed He Yudong by the collar. "You coward! All you can do is hide behind a woman?"

He Yudong was stunned by this sudden change. He struggled to break free, but to no avail. "You...you let me go!"

"Let you go?" The young Yi Zhonghai lifted He Yudong up with force, "I'm going to make you suffer today!"

He raised his fist and was about to hit He Yudong in the face.

"stop!"

A clear female voice sounded.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young woman in fashionable clothes walking over. She was tall, pretty, and had a heroic look between her eyebrows.

"Who are you?" Young Yi Zhonghai frowned.

"I'm He Yudong's friend. If you have anything to say, come to me!" The woman looked at him fearlessly.

He Yudong was stunned. He didn't know this woman at all.

"Ran Qiuye?" Qin Huairu exclaimed in surprise.

Ran Qiuye? He Yudong's heart was shocked. He was very familiar with this name. She was the goddess he had always secretly loved in his previous life, but he didn't dare to confess his love to her.

"You...why are you here?" He Yudong asked stutteringly.

Ran Qiuye smiled slightly, "I came to see if you are doing well." She turned to the young Yi Zhonghai, "Let him go, and talk it over."

The young Yi Zhonghai was intimidated by Ran Qiuye's momentum. He hesitated for a moment and let go of He Yudong.

He Yudong rubbed his painful neck and looked at Ran Qiuye gratefully, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Ran Qiuye smiled, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." He Yudong shook his head.

Ran Qiuye turned to the young Yi Zhonghai and said, "Yi Zhonghai, I have heard about your father's affairs. He did do something wrong, but his crime is not punishable by death. If you harass He Yudong like this, you will only get yourself into trouble."

"Mind your own business!" The young Yi Zhonghai was angry and said, "This is our family's business!"

"This is not your family's business, this is the courtyard's business!" An old lady suddenly came out, "Yi Zhonghai, your father did something wrong and he should be punished! You can't protect him just because he is your father!"

The young Yi Zhonghai glared at the aunt, "You old fool! What qualifications do you have to talk about my father?"

"I'm your aunt! Of course I have the right to criticize you!" The aunt stared back at him without showing any weakness. "If you dare to make trouble again, I will report you to the street office!"

"You..." Young Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned blue, but he didn't dare to say anything else. He knew that Auntie had a high prestige in the courtyard, and if she really went to the street office to report him, he would definitely be in trouble.

He glared at He Yudong and Ran Qiuye fiercely, then turned and left.

Watching the young Yi Zhonghai leaving, He Yudong felt mixed emotions. He knew that this matter was not over yet. The young Yi Zhonghai would definitely not let it go and would find ways to avenge him.

"Yudong, are you okay?" Qin Huairu asked with concern.

"I'm fine." He Yudong shook his head, "Thank you, Huairu."

"Why are you thanking me?" Qin Huairu smiled, "We are friends."

"And me." Ran Qiuye also came over, "If you have any problems in the future, just come to me."

He Yudong looked at Ran Qiuye gratefully, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He didn't expect that when he was in the most difficult time, it was these two women who stood up to help him.

"Thank you." He Yudong said sincerely.

"Let's go inside and talk." Qin Huairu pulled He Yudong and Ran Qiuye into the house.

After the three of them sat down, Qin Huairu asked, "Teacher Ran, why did you come here suddenly?"

Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "I heard that He Yudong had some troubles recently, so I came to take a look."

"You...how do you know I'm in trouble?" He Yudong asked in surprise.

Ran Qiuye smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry about that. Anyway, I know you haven't been doing well recently, so I wanted to come and see you, and by the way... help you."

He Yudong looked at Ran Qiuye, his heart full of doubts. He didn't know why Ran Qiuye wanted to help him, nor did he know how she could help him.

"How do you want to help me?" He Yudong asked.

Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "Well... let's keep it secret for now. But I can assure you that I will do my best to help you." She paused and said, "But I also have a condition."

"What conditions?" He Yudong asked.

Ran Qiuye looked at He Yudong, a sly look flashing in her eyes, "My condition is... you have to agree to be my boyfriend."

He Yudong was stunned. He didn't expect Ran Qiuye to put forward such a condition. He looked at Ran Qiuye and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Qin Huairu was also stunned. She didn't expect Ran Qiuye to suddenly confess to He Yudong. She looked at He Yudong with mixed emotions in her eyes...

Yi Zhonghai's son, also named Yi Zhonghai, was in his thirties, thin, with sinister eyes. He had just been released from prison, and still had a musty smell of prison. He stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking around like a hungry wolf looking for prey.

"Where's my dad?" He said in a hoarse voice and a cold tone.

Qin Huairu pretended to be surprised, "Oh, isn't this Zhong Hai's son? Your father...oh, what a sin, he committed a crime and went to jail."

Yi Zhonghai's son grabbed Qin Huairu's arm with amazing strength, "Stop playing dumb with me! Did you guys mess up my dad's affairs?"

Qin Huairu felt pain but tried hard not to cry out, "You...what nonsense are you talking about? How could we possibly harm your father?"

Yi Zhonghai's son sneered, "Don't think I don't know! You two, a pair of bastards, colluded with each other, put my dad in jail, occupied his house, and now you want to take my dad's property for yourself, right?!"

Upon seeing this, He Yudong quickly stepped forward and pulled Yi Zhonghai's son away, "Calm down! Your father's affairs have nothing to do with us!"

"It doesn't matter?" Yi Zhonghai's son pushed He Yudong away, pointed at his nose and cursed, "You fool! You were sold and still helped others count money! My dad was so good to you, but you turned against him!"

He Yudong was speechless after being scolded. He knew in his heart that what Yi Zhonghai's son said was right. He was indeed being used.

Qin Huairu took the opportunity to fan the flames, "Zhong Hai's son, your father's affairs really have nothing to do with us. It's all his own fault, no one else can be blamed. If you want revenge, go find those who reported your father, don't go wild here!"

Yi Zhonghai's son was furious. He grabbed Qin Huairu by the collar and said, "Bitch! Stop stirring up trouble here! I will definitely find out everything about my dad, and by then, none of you will be able to escape!"

After saying that, he pushed Qin Huairu away, turned around and left the courtyard.

Qin Huairu staggered a few steps and almost fell down. She leaned against the wall, her face pale and her eyes full of fear.

He Yudong quickly stepped forward to support her, "Huai Ru, are you okay?"

Qin Huairu shook her head. "I'm fine. I'm just... a little scared."

He Yudong comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at He Yudong, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

In the next few days, Yi Zhonghai's son asked around for information, trying to find out the truth about his father's imprisonment. He visited the street office, asked the staff who handled the case at the time, and found several neighbors who had reported his father, trying to get some clues from them.

However, the answers he got were ambiguous and no one was willing to tell him the truth.

Yi Zhonghai's son was filled with confusion and anger. He felt like he had fallen into a huge maze and couldn't find a way out.

At the same time, He Yudong and Qin Huairu were also having a hard time. The appearance of Yi Zhonghai's son made them feel a huge pressure. They knew that Yi Zhonghai's son would not let them go easily.

In order to deal with possible crises, He Yudong and Qin Huairu began to discuss countermeasures.

"We have to find a way to stop him and not let him find out the truth." Qin Huairu said.

He Yudong nodded, "But, what can we do?"
