Siheyuan: Selling antiques? Only making 28,000 RMB from 30,000 RMB

Zhou Dong watched all this, but he was a little hesitant in his heart. He knew that Xu Damao might indeed be drunk, but he was not sure whether he should continue to hide the fact.

The police frowned and looked at Xu Damao, "Do you have any evidence to prove your innocence?"

Xu Damao was speechless for a moment. He thought about it but couldn't find a suitable answer. He felt helpless and desperate, and he knew that he might not be able to clear his name.

Sha Zhu secretly rejoiced in his heart, knowing that his plan had achieved initial success. He looked at Zhou Dong, hoping that he would continue to support him.

Zhou Dong hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to step forward. "Mr. Policeman, I want to say a few words."

The police turned around and looked at Zhou Dong, "Do you have anything to say?"

Zhou Dong took a deep breath. He knew that this decision might change everything. "Xu Damao did not do anything indecent. This was all made up by me and Sha Zhu."

The policeman frowned and looked at Zhou Dong, "Are you sure?"

Zhou Dong nodded, "Yes, I must admit my mistake. I didn't expect things to turn out like this."

The policeman was silent for a moment. He looked at Zhou Dong and asked, "Do you know that your actions may have serious consequences?"

Zhou Dong's heart trembled, but he still nodded firmly, "I am willing to bear all the consequences. I can't let an innocent person be wronged."

The police officer sighed. He knew this decision was not easy, but he had to make the right judgment. "Okay, I will investigate this matter, but you must also be prepared to face the consequences."

Sha Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Zhou Dong gratefully, his heart full of gratitude and respect. He knew that he had made the right choice of friend, and Zhou Dong was a trustworthy person.

In a corner of the police station, Zhou Dong and Sha Zhu were facing a chaotic thought, and there was a throbbing atmosphere between them. Zhou Dong silently stared at the clock on the wall, and every second seemed to be a ruthless reminder of their current situation.

Sha Zhu rubbed his forehead. He could feel the anxiety spreading from Zhou Dong. "Brother Yu Zhu, what should we do? We are in big trouble this time."

Zhou Dong hesitated for a moment. He knew that now was not the time to sit back and wait for death. "We can only wait and see what happens. I hope the police will believe our explanation."

Sha Zhu smiled bitterly, "But can the lies we made up really fool the police?"

Zhou Dong did not answer, he knew the answer to this question was not optimistic. But he also knew that the only thing he could do now was to wait.

Just as the two fell into silence, the police came over. "You two, follow me."

They were taken to a small room by the police, where an elderly police officer was waiting. The police officer had a serious face and exuded a stern aura.

"Are you Zhou Dong and Sha Zhu?" The police officer's voice was steady and calm.

Zhou Dong and Sha Zhu nodded, and their mood became more and more nervous.

"I'm the officer in charge here. We need to conduct a detailed interrogation of you." The police officer scanned them, as if he wanted to see through everything from their eyes.

Zhou Dong and Sha Zhu felt an indescribable pressure in their hearts when they were questioned by the police officer. They knew that it was time to face their lies.

The police officer began to ask about the incident, his words revealing a stern and serious tone. "Why did you make up such a lie? Do you know that this may have serious consequences?"

Zhou Dong and Sha Zhu exchanged glances, their hearts filled with hesitation and anxiety. But they knew that they could not escape now.

"We..." Zhou Dong tried to speak, but found that his voice was trembling. "We just wanted to help a friend, but things became more and more complicated."

The police officer was silent for a moment, his eyes revealing a hint of sympathy. "You know that it is wrong to make up lies. But since you have admitted it, I will report this matter to my superiors and see if I can give you a chance."

Zhou Dong and Sha Zhu felt relieved, they knew they still had a glimmer of hope.

The officer stood up and left the room, leaving the two men facing each other in silence.

"Brother Yuzhu, can we really save everything?" Shazhu's voice was full of anxiety and uneasiness.

Zhou Dong took a deep breath, knowing that there was no way out now. "We can only trust that the police will make the right judgment and hope that they can give us a chance."

In a corner of the police station, Xu Damao looked around in panic like a wounded beast. His heart was filled with fear and anxiety, and he knew that the current situation was very unfavorable to him.

Zhou Dong and Sha Zhu sat quietly opposite each other, with a hint of indifference on their faces, as if they had already become tired of Xu Damao's pleading.

"You two, for the sake of our old friendship, you must help me!" Xu Damao looked at them pleadingly, his voice trembling slightly.

Zhou Dong and Sha Zhu looked at each other, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. They knew that Xu Damao had been their friend, but the current situation made it impossible for them to trust him anymore.

"Xu Damao, you should be aware of our current situation." Zhou Dong's voice was cold and firm. "We can't help you. You should be responsible for your actions."

Xu Damao's eyes flashed with helplessness and despair. He knew that he had fallen into a situation from which he could not extricate himself. "I know I was wrong, but you must help me. I am willing to pay any price."

Sha Zhu looked at Xu Damao, his heart full of contradictions and struggles. He once regarded Xu Damao as his friend, but the current situation made him feel unable to let go.

"Xu Damao, you must understand that we can't help you now." Sha Zhu's voice was a little heavy, "You should take responsibility for what you did."

Xu Damao's heart was filled with despair and helplessness. He knew that he had fallen into a situation from which he could not extricate himself. He lowered his head, tears blurring his eyes. He knew that all this was caused by himself.

In a corner of the police station, Xu Damao begged Zhou Dong and Sha Zhu for help, his voice full of despair and helplessness. "You two, for the sake of our old friend, you must help me!" His tone was full of pleading.

Zhou Dong and Sha Zhu sat opposite each other expressionlessly, their eyes revealing a hint of indifference and hesitation. They knew that Xu Damao was in a very dangerous situation, but how could they stay out of it?

"Xu Damao, you should know our current situation." Zhou Dong's voice sounded coldly, "We can't help you. You must be responsible for your actions."

When Xu Damao heard this, he suddenly became flustered. He didn't know what to do. "But, but I am really innocent!" His voice was trembling, as if he was defending his innocence.

Sha Zhu was silent for a moment, but finally chose to believe Xu Damao. "Okay, stop talking, I'll untie you." His voice was a little hesitant, as if he was justifying his decision.

When Xu Damao heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Sha Zhu gratefully. "Thank you, Sha Zhu! I will definitely remember your kindness!" His voice was full of gratitude and excitement.

Sha Zhu loosened the rope, and Xu Damao stood up immediately with a smile of joy on his face. "Well, I have to go home quickly, my wife must be worried about me!" His tone was full of anxiety and worry.

After returning home, Xu Damao gently opened the door, but was interrupted by a sharp cry. "Xu Damao! You are such a heartless person!" His wife Lou Xiao'e's voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Xu Damao looked at her in disbelief, feeling guilty. He wanted to explain something, but his lips moved but no sound came out.

"Do you think I don't know what dirty thing you have done again?!" Lou Xiao'e's eyes flashed with flames of anger and her voice was filled with uncontrollable rage.

"Honey, you misunderstood!" Xu Damao explained hurriedly, "I really don't know what happened, my pants are gone!"

"Gone? Do you think I would believe such nonsense?!" Lou Xiao'e's voice became increasingly sharp. "You bastard! I already knew you were no good!"

Xu Damao shook his head helplessly, knowing that it was useless to explain any further. "Okay, okay, stop arguing." He said weakly, "I'll go look for it, maybe it's lost somewhere."

As Lou Xiao'e roared, some residents in the compound poked their heads out and looked curiously towards Xu Damao's house. In this community, news always spreads quickly, especially when something small happens like this, it will soon become a topic of conversation after dinner.

Hearing Lou Xiao'e's voice, the leaders of the compound rushed over. An old man had a serious look on his face. He was a senior in the compound and a leader in this community. He walked to the door of Xu Damao's house with a steady pace and frowned to see the situation.

"What's going on? What happened?" The old man's voice was low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

"Uncle, I..." Xu Damao hesitated, he didn't know how to explain this matter to the uncle. He was filled with guilt and helplessness, feeling like a drowned chicken. Facing the neighbors' comments and the uncle's questioning, he felt ashamed.

"What's wrong with you? Tell me if you have anything to say." The uncle's tone was stern, but contained a hint of concern. He knew that although Xu Damao was a bit shady, he would not make any big mistakes.

Xu Damao hesitated to speak, he didn't know how to explain this matter to the old man. He was filled with guilt and helplessness, feeling like a drowned chicken. Facing the neighbors' comments and the old man's questioning, he felt ashamed.
