Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

This was like a blow to the head. Wang Qiang realized that although he had not been charged with any crime for the time being, he had actually been deprived of the right to participate in the affairs of the courtyard. This was a very clever move. The other party did not have to put pressure on him directly, but excluded him from the collective action through the security department, and labeled him a "suspect", leaving him with no place to appeal.

Wang Qiang knew that if he argued forcefully at this moment, he would only make himself look more suspicious. He had to handle this matter calmly and not fall into the trap again. He suppressed his anger and nodded: "Okay, I understand. But I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible. This is very important to me and the entire courtyard."

The middle-aged man still did not show much emotion, and just responded calmly: "We will deal with it as soon as possible, you can go back."

Wang Qiang felt powerless and turned away from the security department. He knew that this trap was not accidental, but someone deliberately did it. After returning to the yard, Wang Qiang did not rush to find other residents, but quietly observed the movements around him. Sure enough, he found that Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian had been deliberately avoiding him recently, and seemed to be trying to avoid direct contact with him.

"It seems that they are the ones behind this." Wang Qiang sneered in his heart. Xu Damao has always been hostile to him, and although Liu Guangtian had temporarily compromised before, he was probably still unwilling to accept it in his heart. Now the two of them have joined forces and finally made a move on him.

Wang Qiang knew that he had to be careful at this time and not let the other party's plan succeed. He sat in the corner of the yard, thinking carefully about how to deal with this secret game. He had a bold plan in his mind, but it would take time and opportunity, and he had to wait for the most appropriate time to counterattack.

After Wang Qiang returned to the courtyard, he kept thinking about who was behind this incident. Liu Guangtian and Xu Damao were his main suspects, but it was not easy to directly catch them. He knew that Xu Damao was always cunning and his style of doing things was to not see others doing well. Although Liu Guangtian compromised on the surface, he must still be upset about the gambling game in his heart.

However, it is not enough to directly accuse these two people based on their behavior. Wang Qiang knew very well that the security department would not easily believe his unilateral explanation. He had to find solid evidence to completely clear himself of suspicion and make sure that the troublemakers had nowhere to hide.

That night, Wang Qiang lay in bed, his mind constantly recalling the details of what had happened recently. The daily behavior of those people in the yard, everyone's words and deeds, all flashed through his mind quickly. He recalled those seemingly insignificant conversations, trying to find clues from them.

At this moment, there was a whisper outside the door. Wang Qiang instantly became alert. Although the voices outside the house were very low, they were the sound of several people talking. He gently stood up and looked out through the window. Sure enough, he saw several vague figures standing in the corner of the yard, seemingly discussing something fiercely.

Wang Qiang's mind moved, and he guessed that these people might be related to the recent events. He quietly opened the door and listened carefully to the conversation outside.

"Do you think the security department can really find out anything? What if they come to our house? What should we do?"

"What are you afraid of? As long as we don't show up, Wang Qiang won't be able to catch us no matter how powerful he is. Besides, Xu Damao has already made arrangements, so this time we just want to teach him a lesson."

Hearing this, Wang Qiang's heartbeat quickened. He was very familiar with this voice. It was the voice of a few scoundrels who were close to Xu Damao in the yard. It seemed that Xu Damao was indeed involved in the matter! He thought of Xu Damao's deliberate sarcasm before, which was obviously a move he had planned long ago.

Wang Qiang did not rush out to expose them immediately, but continued to listen patiently, wanting to know more details. Several people continued to talk in low voices, seeming to be quite proud of the trap they set.

"Haha, Wang Qiang is probably still in the dark. He really thinks he's fine. Just wait, in a few days, the security department will take action."

"Yes, we have set a tough trap for him this time. No matter how capable he is, he will still fall into our hands."

Wang Qiang's face darkened when he heard this. He knew that this group of people had set a trap, and their purpose was to use the power of the security department to completely overthrow him. The most important thing now was how to find enough evidence to kill their plan in the cradle.

The next day, Wang Qiang decided not to wait passively, but to take the initiative. He found a few trusted neighbors in the yard, briefly told them what he heard last night, and asked them if they had noticed any unusual behavior from Xu Damao and these scoundrels recently.

Neighbor Lao Zhang was the first to nod: "Wang Qiang, I've long felt that Xu Damao was not right. I passed by his house a few days ago and heard him and Liu Guangtian talking in the house. He mentioned you. But they were quite vague about it, so I didn't hear clearly what they were talking about."

Wang Qiang frowned. It seemed that Liu Guangtian was also involved. Although he had softened his attitude before, he still did not miss the opportunity to deal with him behind the scenes.

Neighbor Lao Li also added: "I did hear Xu Damao mumbling with those hooligans about teaching you a lesson, but I didn't take it too seriously. Now that I think about it, this is probably the case."

Wang Qiang gradually figured out what was going on. He knew that these people were acting on their own and had done a lot of small things behind the scenes, but there was no clear clue. However, the testimonies of these neighbors were enough for him to take action.

In the next few days, Wang Qiang began to observe Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian quietly. He found that Xu Damao had been particularly active recently, often hanging out with those scoundrels, walking outside from time to time, and seemed very restless. Liu Guangtian seemed to be more low-key, but the occasional eye contact with Xu Damao still revealed a hint of unusual meaning.

Wang Qiang knew that things had reached a critical moment and he had to find conclusive evidence to completely expose their conspiracy.

One afternoon, Wang Qiang decided to take action. He pretended to go out to buy something, bypassed the streets and alleys, and secretly followed Xu Damao. Along the way, Xu Damao did not seem to notice that someone was following him. He talked and laughed with the two scoundrels all the way, and finally came to a small shop on the street.

Wang Qiang hid in the distance and observed quietly. He found that after they entered the store, they began to talk in a low voice with a strange man in the store, and their expressions were very alert. Wang Qiang felt from their actions that Xu Damao was likely to be engaged in some illegal transactions or conspiracies, and this store owner might be the key figure in their plan.
