In the courtyard, everyone was discussing this sudden change. Mrs. Zhang was busy in the kitchen, looking serious, and occasionally looking out of the window. Old Li was wandering in the yard, muttering, "How did it turn out like this? Sha Zhu is a fool after all, he shouldn't have done this." Chen Rufeng looked at these familiar faces and couldn't help feeling sad.

Sha Zhu stood beside the police car, wearing his favorite blue work clothes. He had his signature silly smile on his face, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. He didn't seem to be fully aware of the fate he was about to face, and even looked a little silly, as if all this had nothing to do with him. Chen Rufeng couldn't help but feel powerless. Although he knew that Sha Zhu would not really understand this, he still felt a deep regret.

At this time, the policeman in the police car got off with professional indifference on his face. Their arrival made the atmosphere in the yard even heavier. Chen Rufeng took a deep breath and decided to go over and talk to these people. He knew that although he did not completely agree with Sha Zhu's behavior, he still hoped to protect this "Sha Zhu" as much as possible within the framework of the law.

Walking up to the police, Chen Rufeng paused for a moment before finally speaking: "You need to take Shazhu to the detention center. This is his home. Please try to make sure he doesn't suffer as much as possible. Although his behavior is a little strange, he doesn't have a bad heart after all."

The police nodded. Although he didn't say anything, his expression showed some understanding. Chen Rufeng saw this scene, and the comfort in his heart subsided a little. However, this did not change his feeling of powerlessness in the current situation.

Sha Zhu was carefully helped into the car by the police. When the car door closed, Chen Rufeng felt his heart was weighed down even more. He knew that although all this seemed inevitable, it made people feel extremely sad and helpless. In this courtyard, Sha Zhu's existence was once a part of everyone's life, even a spiritual sustenance. Now, he has been sent away, leaving Chen Rufeng and others with empty memories and a reality that is hard to let go.

The sun gradually sank, and the light in the courtyard gradually dimmed. Chen Rufeng stood at the door, looking at the police car going farther and farther away, his heart full of mixed emotions. He knew that Sha Zhu's story was not over, but the heaviness of this moment would be deeply engraved in his memory.

As Sha Zhu's back gradually disappeared in the darkening sky, Chen Rufeng felt an indescribable heaviness enveloping his heart. He stood in front of the gate of the courtyard, as if his entire body was shrouded in a shadow. He knew that this day would leave an indelible mark in his memory, and Sha Zhu's departure had shaken his understanding of the world a little.

Mrs. Zhang was in the kitchen, her hands moving mechanically and slowly. Her face was pale, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat. When she was cutting vegetables, the knife occasionally hit the chopping board, making a harsh sound. Her mood was obviously greatly affected, and her eyes showed endless sadness.

"Chen Rufeng, is Shazhu really out of options this time?" Mrs. Zhang's voice trembled slightly as she tried to seek some comfort from Chen Rufeng.

Chen Rufeng sighed and looked out the kitchen window. His heart was like a surging ocean, and the complicated emotions made it almost impossible for him to calm down. "Shazhu's case is very complicated, and I don't know how to explain it. I just hope he can have a better time in the detention center."

Old Li came over and looked at Chen Rufeng solemnly. "Rufeng, is this really irreversible? You've seen that Sha Zhu is a bit weird, but he's not a bad person at heart."

Chen Rufeng nodded, but he felt even more helpless. "He does have a good heart, but the trouble he got into this time is too big. No matter how hard we try, we can't change the legal facts."

There was deep frustration in Chen Rufeng's words. He did not want to make this reality heavier, but the facts were there and any comfort seemed so powerless.

In the courtyard of the quadrangle, the quiet atmosphere was broken by Sha Zhu's departure. Chen Rufeng walked to the center of the courtyard and sat on a worn-out chair, holding a small copper key in his hand. This was a gift from Sha Zhu, symbolizing a bond of friendship. Now, Chen Rufeng's mood was as heavy as this key, as if it carried unspeakable responsibilities and pressure.

"Do you know?" Chen Rufeng suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence, "Shazhu actually has his own set of rules. Although he looks stupid, I have found that he can always cleverly avoid trouble. Behind his actions, there is actually a kind of cunning."

Old Li seemed a little surprised. "You mean, Sha Zhu has a hidden plan?"

Chen Rufeng nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes. "Yes, I have observed him before. His strange behavior is sometimes just a superficial phenomenon. When he deals with some complex problems, he can often show extraordinary intelligence and wisdom."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Chen Rufeng with some confusion, "Then why did he get into such a predicament this time? If he is really that smart, why didn't he think of these risks?"

"That's the problem." Chen Rufeng frowned, struggling in his heart, "Shazhu's cleverness is not reflected in ordinary things. His cleverness sometimes makes him fall into deeper trouble inadvertently."

At this time, there were faint footsteps in the yard. Chen Rufeng looked up and saw a familiar figure walking over - He Yuzhu. This name was not unfamiliar in the courtyard, but his arrival today was particularly eye-catching.

He Yuzhu had an elusive smile on his face, which seemed a little proud and calm. He walked up to Chen Rufeng and asked casually, "What's wrong? Now that Shazhu is gone, is everyone in a bad mood?"

Chen Rufeng looked at He Yuzhu, and a trace of vigilance emerged in his heart. He knew that this person was not simple. He Yuzhu always had an overconfident smile, which seemed more like a cover-up to him. "What are you doing here?" Chen Rufeng asked, with a hint of vigilance in his tone.

He Yuzhu smiled slightly, with a subtle light flashing in his eyes. "I just came to see how everyone is feeling. After all, Shazhu's matter is a big deal for Siheyuan."

Chen Rufeng's heart was surging. He keenly sensed something wrong in He Yuzhu's words. "What do you know?" He asked coldly, his eyes full of suspicion.
