Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

He Yuzhu said coldly: "Why waste time talking to him? Just take this roadblock away and throw it away."

"Master Zhu is right!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up and they were ready to step forward and take action.

At this time, Yan Bugui saw Yi Zhonghai and said anxiously: "Old Yi, you are the eldest uncle in the courtyard, you have to help me."

Yi Zhonghai looked at everyone's unfriendly gazes and said with difficulty: "Old Yan, you have also searched the neighbor's house. How else do you want me to help you?"

Yan Bugui said with a face full of pain: "Does this mean that I'm just going to let the matter of losing my car go?"

He Yuzhu said coldly: "Stupid, don't you know to call the police?"

Yi Zhonghai said firmly: "We can't call the police. Once we do, our reputation as a model courtyard will be gone."

He Yuzhu mercilessly sarcastically said, "Idiot, with all the things that the Jia family's grandparents and grandchildren did, you still want to imitate the courtyard. Dream of your mother's Spring and Autumn Period."

"Whether to call the police or not is up to you. It has nothing to do with me. I have to go to work now. Yan Laokou, get out of here right now, or I will be rude to you."

He Yuzhu said as he pushed his bicycle towards the door. Seeing this, Yan Bugui jumped up like a spring. He was really afraid of being thrown by He Yuzhu again.

He Yuzhu came to the door, kicked the bench away, and pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard.

Seeing this, everyone followed He Yuzhu and left the courtyard.

After a while, only a few people including Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai were left in the front yard.

Yi Zhonghai hesitated and said, "Old Yan, it's better not to call the police."

Yan Bugui said angrily: "If I don't call the police, will you compensate me for my bicycle?"

Yi Zhonghai laughed and said, "Old Yan, even if we call the police, we may not be able to get our bicycle back."

Yan Bugui said coldly: "Calling the police may not help you get your bicycle back, but not calling the police will definitely mean you won't get your bicycle back."

Yi Zhonghai said helplessly: "Old Yan, I won't persuade you anymore, you can do whatever you want! I have to go to work, or I will be late."

Yan Bugui nodded expressionlessly, and then whispered: "Old Yi, don't forget our plan. Sha Zhu is too arrogant. I can't wait to see him get into trouble."

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, a sinister look flashed in his eyes, "Don't worry, I feel the same as you."

After Yi Zhonghai left, Yan Bugui immediately asked Yan Jiecheng to call the police.

After Yan Jiecheng left, Yan Jiefang said cautiously: "Dad, my brother and sister and I have to go to school, otherwise we will be late."

Yan Bugui said impatiently: "Go ahead! And ask for leave for me, just say I'm sick!"

Yan Jiefang knew that his father was angry about the bicycle incident, so he said very obediently: "Dad, I know!"

In that day and age, losing a bicycle was considered a major case. As soon as Yan Jiecheng called the police, the police station immediately sent out officers, led by Deputy Chief Wang.

Deputy Director Wang arrived at the courtyard, inspected the scene, and began to take statements from the neighbors.

Yan Bugui said anxiously, "Director Wang, when will I find my bicycle?"

Deputy Director Wang said solemnly, "I can't give you a specific time now. The perpetrator this time must be a veteran. He didn't leave any valuable clues. We can only try our luck and visit nearby auto repair shops first."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui became even more anxious, "Director Wang, you have to help me. Without a bicycle, it's like losing half my life..."

Deputy Director Wang grinned and said, "Although the bicycle is not cheap, it is not serious enough to cost you half your life!"

Yan Bugui also took the risk and exposed his short track:

"Director Wang, I made some mistakes a few days ago and the school fined me five months' salary. My life is very difficult now."

"Now I rely on riding my bike to go fishing and exchange it for sweet potatoes to maintain my food and clothing. Now that my bike is gone, isn't it like I've lost half my life?"

At this time, the police officer next to Deputy Director Wang whispered something in his ear.

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Wang's expression changed slightly, and the look he gave Yan Bugui became ambiguous. He coughed lightly and said in a businesslike manner:

"I already know most of what happened. We will start an investigation and notify you as soon as we have any news!"

The cunning Yan Bugui immediately sensed the change in Deputy Director Wang's attitude and said anxiously, "Director Wang, I suspect that He Yuzhu stole my bicycle."

Deputy Director Wang said expressionlessly, "Weren't you the first one to search He Yuzhu's house? Didn't you find anything?"

Yan Bugui said in a muffled voice: "He doesn't have it at home. He might have hidden my bicycle somewhere else."

Deputy Director Wang's voice suddenly turned cold. "Comrade Yan Bugui, after our on-site investigation, the probability of someone in the hospital committing the crime is almost zero."

"You can't hold a grudge against Comrade He Yuzhu and throw dirty water on him just because he accidentally exposed the fact that you cheated him of his money."

"You were a teacher before, after all. Can't you even tell the difference between right and wrong?"

"Not only should you not resent He Yuzhu, but you should thank him for showing mercy and not calling the police to arrest you. If he called the police, you, Yan Bugui, would have to go to prison for at least three years. I advise you not to repay kindness with enmity and make the same mistake over and over again..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui's face turned pale instantly, and he trembled and said, "Director, I didn't throw dirty water on He Yuzhu, it's He Yuzhu who is really suspicious..."

"Okay, we will investigate whether there is any suspicion ourselves. We have our own procedures for handling cases. We don't need you to interfere..."

Deputy Director Wang scolded Yan Bugui with a stern face, then looked at him with contempt and turned away.

As soon as Deputy Director Wang left, Yan Bugui covered his chest with his hands, his face full of pain, and he staggered, about to fall to the ground.

Yang Ruihua was horrified, and held Yan Bugui tightly, and asked anxiously, "Old Yan, what's wrong with you?"

"It hurts so much, please help me go home." Yan Bugui wailed in pain.

Seeing Yan Bugui's pale face and cold sweat, Yang Ruihua said distressedly, "Old Yan, why don't we go to the hospital?"

"Go...what hospital? Doesn't it cost money to go to the hospital? It's just a minor problem. Help me go home and lie down for a while and I'll be fine!" Yan Bugui said intermittently.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruihua had no choice but to help Yan Bugui back to bed.

Yan Bugui was lying on the bed, still holding his chest and groaning, his face full of pain.

Yang Ruihua paced back and forth, his face full of anxiety, but helpless.

Yan Bugui said dissatisfiedly: "Is there a dog chasing you? Why are you walking there non-stop? Why do you want to pour me a glass of water?"

Yang Ruihua woke up as if from a dream, "I'll pour you some water right away!"

After Yang Ruihua poured the water, he continued to caress Yan Bugui's chest. After a while, he asked softly, "Old Yan, are you feeling better?"

Yan Bu said with a faint voice: "Better..."

Perhaps because his bicycle was lost, or perhaps because he was frightened by Deputy Director Wang’s words, Yan Bugui really fell ill.
