Yi Zhonghai nodded, a trace of deep thought flashing in his eyes. "He Yuzhu is indeed a complicated person. There may be a big gap between his appearance and his essence. What motives do you suspect him of?"

"I feel like he's deliberately avoiding the main point," Chen Rufeng said, with a hint of resentment in his voice. "His words are ambiguous, hinting that he may know something but is unwilling to say it directly. In particular, he seems indifferent to Sha Zhu's matter, which makes me wonder if he is hiding something."

Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly after hearing this. "Do you have any concrete evidence? Or some specific clues?"

"There is no complete evidence yet." Chen Rufeng took a deep breath, his eyes showing a trace of determination, "But I know that we must find out the truth and cannot be fooled by these superficial illusions."

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. "If you feel that He Yuzhu may be manipulating things, then we need to take more active actions. Perhaps contacting some people in his circle of familiarity can help us understand his true intentions more clearly."

Chen Rufeng nodded. He knew it would take time and effort, but he had no other choice at the moment. He had to find more clues as soon as possible to uncover the mystery. The anger and distrust of He Yuzhu in his heart prompted him to decide to take action and stop waiting.

"I will investigate and see if I can find more information." Chen Rufeng said, "In the meantime, I hope you can help me. If you have any relevant news, please let me know in time."

Yi Zhonghai nodded, his expression becoming serious. "Okay, I'll do my best to help you. However, we must proceed with caution and make sure the information we have is accurate."

When leaving Yi Zhonghai's apartment, Chen Rufeng felt an unprecedented pressure and determination. The night in the city was still noisy, and people hurried through the streets, but he felt as if he was trapped in a fog. He Yuzhu's shadow always loomed in his heart, forcing him to grope in the dark.

Chen Rufeng returned to the courtyard with a clearer plan for the next move. He knew that in the face of complex situations and hidden threats, he needed to remain vigilant and at the same time obtain as much intelligence as possible. He Yuzhu's cryptic smile and provocative words kept echoing in his mind, as if reminding him that things were far from being that simple.

Returning to the courtyard, Chen Rufeng saw Zhang Sao and Old Li still in the yard, discussing Sha Zhu's matter. Their expressions were filled with worry and helplessness, as if they were waiting for an answer that could change the status quo. Chen Rufeng knew that he not only had to face external threats, but also had to appease those who cared about Sha Zhu so that they could face the current predicament calmly.

"Is everyone okay?" Chen Rufeng walked closer to them, trying to make his tone sound calm.

"It's OK, but I'm very uneasy." Mrs. Zhang raised her head, a glimmer of hope in her eyes, "Chen Rufeng, do you have any new progress?"

Chen Rufeng shook his head, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He didn't want to make everyone feel too anxious, but he also knew that now was not the time to delay. "I just went to see Yi Zhonghai, he will help us investigate some things. We need to wait patiently and stay alert at the same time."

Old Li nodded, a look of relief on his face. "That's good. I just hope these problems can be solved as soon as possible."

Chen Rufeng smiled slightly, trying to appear more calm. However, the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart were still like an invisible force, oppressing his mind all the time. He knew that facing the hidden threat of He Yuzhu, he had to be more cautious.

The courtyard was still immersed in silence in the night, and the occasional sound of the wind and the noise from afar made the whole courtyard seem particularly lonely. Chen Rufeng sat on a bench in the courtyard, but his heart was in turmoil. The advice he just received from Yi Zhonghai made him feel anxious, but what made him even more uneasy was that he suddenly remembered that he also had a secret, and this secret was closely related to the current predicament.

Chen Rufeng's thoughts went back to the past, the secret he had tried to hide in his heart. Over the years, he had been trying to isolate himself from the past and maintain a peaceful life. However, the current situation forced him to re-examine the history he had hidden.

He remembered that when he first came to the city, he had a close contact with a mysterious businessman. The businessman proposed some deals that were hard to refuse, and Chen Rufeng accepted them because he was in urgent need of funds. Although these deals made him financially comfortable for a while, they also involved him in some complicated relationships.

It is these relationships that have led him to establish contact with some unknown forces, and the existence of these forces seems to be subtly related to the current predicament. Chen Rufeng knows that if he does not uncover these secrets, he may never be able to truly solve the troubles at hand.

He took a deep breath, and the anxiety in his heart was gradually replaced by a strong determination. He decided that he had to put these secrets on the table to thoroughly understand the truth of the matter. So that night, a new plan began to emerge in Chen Rufeng's mind - he wanted to find his past transaction records and all related documents to see if these could help him solve his current dilemma.

The next morning, the sun shone through the gaps in the curtains onto the floor of the courtyard. Chen Rufeng got up early and decided to go to his hiding place to look for those important documents. He knew that these documents were not only economic records, but also evidence of his connection with those mysterious forces.

He walked into his study and gently opened a hidden drawer that contained some old documents and personal belongings. With a pounding heart, Chen Rufeng began to look through the yellowed papers, each page carrying his past secrets and decisions. His fingers wandered over the papers, trying to find the details that he had overlooked.

Soon after, his fingers touched a special document. This document looked insignificant, but it was a key record of his past transactions with the businessman. Chen Rufeng's heartbeat quickened as he carefully checked every clause and transaction detail on the document and found that these transactions involved some people and organizations that he had tried to avoid.

As he flipped through the documents, he felt a deep sense of remorse and regret. Those transactions that once seemed harmless now seemed to have opened the door to trouble.
