Chapter 501 It's really nothing serious
Finally, at midnight, Sha Zhu and Lao Liu quietly slipped out of the yard, talking quietly, as if they were planning something. Chen Rufeng and Yi Zhonghai followed quietly behind them, carefully keeping their distance so as not to let them notice.
Sha Zhu and Lao Liu stopped at the corner of the street, looked around, and after confirming that no one was following them, they began to discuss in low voices. Chen Rufeng held his breath and tried his best to listen to their conversation.
"Old Liu, there can't be any more mistakes this time." Sha Zhu's voice was low and rapid, revealing a sense of nervousness.
Lao Liu also lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, Shazhu, I have already arranged this matter, and no one will find out. As long as we act quickly, no one will suspect us."
Hearing this, Chen Rufeng's heart sank suddenly, and anger instantly burned in his chest. Sha Zhu was indeed planning some conspiracy, and Lao Liu was also playing a key role in it. He could no longer hold back his anger and was ready to rush forward to expose their conspiracy.
Just when Chen Rufeng was about to act, Yi Zhonghai grabbed him and whispered in his ear: "Don't be impulsive. Now is not the time to act. We have to let them fall into the trap."
Chen Rufeng suppressed his anger and nodded, but the anger in his eyes was still there. He knew that Yi Zhonghai was right, and taking action now might alert the enemy, so he had to wait for a better time.
The two continued to hide in the dark, observing every move of Sha Zhu and Lao Liu. After a while, Sha Zhu seemed to think that things had been arranged properly, so he and Lao Liu hurriedly separated and left in different directions.
Chen Rufeng looked at Sha Zhu's departing back, and he could hardly suppress his anger. He knew very well that this action was an extremely important plot for Sha Zhu, and he had to find out their plan as soon as possible to completely expose this conspiracy.
After returning to the courtyard, Chen Rufeng and Yi Zhonghai gathered together again to discuss the next action plan. Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice: "Rufeng, it seems that things have reached a critical moment. We have to find Lao Liu to see what he is planning. Maybe we can find the key evidence."
Chen Rufeng nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes. He knew that there was no way out now, and he had to seize this opportunity to completely defeat Sha Zhu.
The next morning, Chen Rufeng quietly came to Lao Liu's door in the dim light of dawn. He knew that Lao Liu always got up early, so he took this opportunity to have a face-to-face confrontation with Lao Liu to see if he could get more information out of him.
As expected, Old Liu had gotten up early and was tidying up something at the door. Chen Rufeng walked over with a kind smile on his face, "Old Liu, good morning!"
When Old Liu saw Chen Rufeng, he was slightly startled, then he smiled, "Hey, Rufeng, you're here so early, what's the matter?"
Chen Rufeng smiled and said casually, "Nothing, I just want to ask you something. How is Shazhu these days? I heard that he is very close to you."
When Old Liu heard this, the smile on his face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He smiled and said, "Shazhu, this kid, usually likes to chat with me. It's nothing serious."
The smile on Lao Liu's face seemed a little stiff when Chen Rufeng mentioned the word "discuss". He tried to stay calm, but the evasion in his eyes did not escape Chen Rufeng's observation. Chen Rufeng's heart tightened, and his doubts deepened again. He looked at Lao Liu, secretly thinking about how to get more clues from him.
"Old Liu, don't get me wrong, I just care about this kid Sha Zhu. He's not very smart and always likes to think about random things. I'm afraid he might get into trouble." Chen Rufeng smiled as if he was relaxed, but his heart had already tensed up every nerve, waiting for Old Liu's reaction.
Old Liu laughed dryly a few times and waved his hands, "Hey, Brother Rufeng, you're really worried too much. Shazhu hasn't done anything out of the ordinary recently. We were just chatting. You know, he has those little thoughts."
Chen Rufeng nodded, but he was still full of doubts. His eyes fell on Lao Liu's seemingly calm face, and a secret he had kept from many years ago came to his mind. This secret had always been hidden deep in his heart, and he had never mentioned it to anyone, not even Yi Zhonghai.
Many years ago, Chen Rufeng was just a young man who had just come into contact with the life of the Siheyuan. At that time, he was also a smart young man who always wanted to gain a foothold in this complex courtyard. At that time, the Siheyuan was a mixed bag with all kinds of people. Chen Rufeng quickly gained some respect in the courtyard with his little cleverness and agility.
But one night, he accidentally saw a famous person in the courtyard doing some shady transactions with people outside. Chen Rufeng was still young at the time and had a strong sense of justice. He wanted to report the matter, but the man noticed his presence and threatened that if he leaked the secret, he would be kicked out of the courtyard.
The young Chen Rufeng did not compromise, but he wisely chose to remain silent, secretly collecting evidence, and finally used some means to make the dangerous man leave the courtyard silently. And this secret was buried in his heart as time passed and was never mentioned.
Now, Chen Rufeng stood in front of Lao Liu, and the complex emotions brought by that past event surged in his heart. He knew that this time, facing Sha Zhu's conspiracy, he could no longer fight alone like he did in the past, but had to rely on wisdom and strategy. Perhaps this past experience could bring him some inspiration, allowing him to gain the upper hand in this invisible battle.
"Old Liu, we have lived in this courtyard for many years. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't hide it." Chen Rufeng's tone suddenly changed, and he looked directly into Old Liu's eyes with a sense of oppression. He decided to use some psychological tactics to see if Old Liu would reveal more flaws.
Old Liu was caught off guard by Chen Rufeng's sudden attack. His eyes flickered for a moment, and then he forced a smile and said, "Brother Rufeng, what can I hide? It's just a casual chat with Sha Zhu. It's really nothing serious."
Chen Rufeng sneered, and became more and more certain that there was something wrong with Lao Liu. He knew that if he continued to question him, he might not get anything substantial. Lao Liu was always cunning and good at avoiding the edge at critical moments.
"Okay, Lao Liu, since you said so, I won't ask any more questions. But you have to remember that some things cannot be done too much, otherwise it will be too late to regret it." Chen Rufeng slowed down his tone, but there was still a hint of warning in his words.
