Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

In another room, Sha Zhu remained silent until Qin Huairu next door was interrogated and taken away. Sha Zhu remained in his current state, like a sculpture, motionless, with no change in his facial expression. His eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he had lost his soul.

Qin Huairu's words just now were like a heavy hammer, constantly hammering at his conscience, constantly subverting his cognition, making him feel dizzy, and every word Qin Huairu said kept echoing in his mind.

All this made Sha Zhu fall into deep self-doubt, and he even began to doubt whether the beliefs he had held for so many years were really correct.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan stood up, walked to Sha Zhu, uncuffed him, and took the rag out of his mouth.

"Have a cigarette." Zhang Yuan took out a cigarette and put it to Sha Zhu's mouth.

Sha Zhu's mind was completely blank at this moment. After hearing Zhang Yuan's words, he subconsciously opened his mouth and bit the cigarette, and then waited quietly for Zhang Yuan to light it for him.

It was not until a puff of pungent smoke entered his lungs that Sha Zhu came to his senses. However, he still said nothing and just looked at Zhang Yuan silently.

At this moment, his mind was in a mess. He had no idea how to face the situation, let alone how to communicate with Zhang Yuan.

"Is it unbelievable? Is it hard to accept what just happened?" Zhang Yuan curled his lips and stared into Sha Zhu's eyes, as if he could see through the secret in his heart.

Sha Zhu remained silent, but his mind was in a mess, his thoughts were like a tangled mess, difficult to sort out. He couldn't understand why this happened, everything made him feel confused and at a loss.

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't say anything, Zhang Yuan continued, "Actually, I don't know if you've noticed that Qin Huairu is hypocritical. And you, ask yourself, why are you paying so much? Do you want to marry Qin Huairu home?"

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this question, or he had been avoiding it. He knew that he had a special feeling for Qin Huairu, but what exactly was this feeling?

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't say anything, Zhang Yuan said again: "No, she and I are just sister and brother." Sha Zhu strongly denied it.

Zhang Yuan sneered, not believing Sha Zhu's words. "What you think is your business, but what's the point of deceiving yourself? Many people can see that you are greedy for Qin Huairu's beauty and body. You want to be with Qin Huairu, but you don't want to marry her."

Sha Zhu's eyes widened, as if Zhang Yuan's words had struck a deep place in his heart. His face turned pale, his lips trembled slightly, but he could not utter a word to refute.

"How could I have such obscene thoughts? The relationship between Sister Qin and I is purely sister-brother, not as obscene as you say." Sha Zhu blushed and denied it repeatedly.

Zhang Yuan had a scowl on his face. He looked at Sha Zhu, his heart filled with anger and disappointment. He felt that Sha Zhu was a naive person, a person without a brain, a person he could not understand. He did not know why Sha Zhu did this, why he liked to weave lies to numb himself.

"Don't deny it. Everyone saw it. Who doesn't know your little thoughts? I've made it very clear just now. Look at yourself, when you talk about this, you immediately become emotional and panic. You can't fool me. Don't forget what I do." Zhang Yuan didn't believe Sha Zhu's nonsense at all. From the beginning to the end, Sha Zhu had always been in his own fantasy.

Zhang Yuan became more and more angry as he spoke. He really couldn't understand why Sha Zhu was so stupid. He couldn't help but yelled, "Think about it, are Qin Huairu's feelings for you real? If so, would she have pushed all the blame on you? Which of these things didn't Qin Huairu find you and ask you to steal? Now that something has happened, she dares to deny it. Has she ever thought about you? You've been in jail once. Do you know what you'll look like if you go in again this time?"

As Sha Zhu listened to Zhang Yuan's words, his face became increasingly ugly, but he still refused to believe that Qin Huairu would be so heartless. Zhang Yuan continued, "Have you ever thought about what will happen if you are sentenced this time? First of all, your house and money will be used to make up for the losses of the factory. Secondly, since you are in prison for the second time, the sentence will be heavier. It will probably take ten to twenty years before you are released. Then your family will be affected. You can forget about getting married and warming your bed in the future, because no one will respect you, and no one can help you."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he began to panic. He had never thought that the consequences would be so serious. He originally thought that as long as he admitted his mistake and paid a fine, he would be fine. But Zhang Yuan's words made him realize that things were not that simple. He widened his eyes and muttered to himself: "What should I do? I don't want to go to jail again..."

"If you don't want to, then why do you want to do it? Don't you have any sense of priority? Or do you think you are blessed by God and can turn danger into safety every time something happens, and that there are noble people to help you?" Zhang Yuan's voice was cold and stern, with an unquestionable momentum.

Sha Zhu stood there, trembling all over, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, his face as pale as paper. His lips trembled slightly, wanting to explain something, but no sound came out. He knew that what Zhang Yuan said was true. He had always been willful and reckless in the past, and every time he got into trouble, he relied on others' help to escape from the predicament by luck.

However, hearing Zhang Yuan point out these problems so bluntly, he felt extremely ashamed and remorseful. He realized that his past behavior may have caused a lot of trouble to the people around him and made them extremely disappointed in him.

Zhang Yuan continued, "You think you are a lucky person who is blessed by God every time? In fact, this is only because of the care and concern of the people around you. If they hadn't helped you at the critical moment, you would have been in an irretrievable situation long ago!"

Sha Zhu's heart felt like it was hit hard by a heavy hammer, and the pain was unbearable. He never thought that his behavior would have such a big impact on others, and he didn't realize that he had been taking advantage of others' kindness.

"Don't be stubborn anymore, Shazhu! If you don't wake up, one day you will pay a heavy price. Now, you must reflect on your actions and re-examine your life goals. Only in this way can you truly grow up and become a responsible person." Zhang Yuan's voice was full of expectation and encouragement.

Sha Zhu nodded silently, indicating that he understood, but he wanted to think about it quietly alone.

Seeing that Sha Zhu showed signs of repentance, Zhang Yuan planned to give Sha Zhu another shot of prevention.
