Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Chapter 925: Showing a Movie at the Gate of the Courtyard

Xiao Bao hadn't expected Xu Damao to be so accommodating. After just a few words, he lowered his posture, his face plastered with an ingratiating smile, saving him a lot of effort in beating around the bush. He smiled back, tapping his fingertips lightly on the edge of the table. His tone sounded calm, yet it carried an undeniable aura: "There's indeed something I'd like to ask you for. Don't worry, after it's done, you'll definitely get some benefits, both money and face."

Xu Damao waved his hands quickly, forcing a familiar warmth onto his face. "Brother Bao, you're being so polite. Monkey and I grew up together, and his brother is my brother. Just tell me what you need. Why ask for favors?"

Xiao Bao felt relieved by his words, and the smile on his face deepened: "Brother Damao is a straightforward person. I would like to ask you to help me show a movie."

The monkey next to him brightened up when he heard this and interrupted, "Showing a movie? Damao is the best at this! Where is the location?"

Xiao Bao glanced out the window and said slowly, "I'm homeless anyway, so it doesn't matter where I am. Why don't we just pick a spot at the entrance to the courtyard where there's more people and it's more lively. I'll pay you every cent for the venue and the screening."

Xu Damao was even happier when he heard that. He knew the courtyard entrance like a swan. The space was spacious, and there were many neighbors, perfect for showing off. He rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "No problem! I just don't know when to schedule it. You decide. I'll make sure to set up the equipment and select a good film. But it won't be possible these days. The projector at the factory is being repaired, so we'll have to wait two days."

Xiao Bao smiled. He wasn't in a rush anyway—he still needed to use the next two days to make arrangements. He could use the movie screening as an excuse to lure everyone out of the compound and seize Ran Qiuye and the child. Only then would his plan be perfect. "You're right. The movie screening date will depend on you. Feel free to contact me once the machine is fixed."

Xu Damao wanted to say a few more pleasantries, but after looking at the sky, he smiled and said, "Then I won't bother Brother Bao for now. The factory is still waiting for me to submit the film, so I have to go there quickly."

Xiao Bao nodded and said nothing more. He watched Xu Damao retreat with his back hunched.

As the door creaked shut, the atmosphere in the room instantly grew cold. The smile on Xiao Bao's face vanished without a trace. He turned to look at Monkey, his eyes as cold as ice. "Remember, after the movie is over and the job is done, get rid of this Xu Damao. He's a traitor who only cares about his own interests. Keeping him around is a disaster. Don't leave any traces of him behind."

Monkey's heart trembled, and he nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Brother Leopard, I know what to do." He knew that people like Xu Damao should be thrown away like garbage after use, and he must not be lenient.

The monkey looked at Xiao Bao and patted his chest to assure him, "Boss Xiao, don't worry! I understand what you mean. When the time comes, I will definitely clean up all the tails and won't leave us any trouble."

Xiao Bao had a clear idea in mind: as long as he got rid of Gu Nan, he planned to completely sever ties with this place, so he had to get rid of all those who had seen them and knew their background, leaving no trace.

He showed a satisfied smile on his face and patted Monkey's shoulder: "Monkey, I trust you the most. Remember, the key is to make those beggars make a fuss. As long as they make a fuss in the courtyard and attract everyone's attention, we will take the opportunity to kidnap Ran Qiuye. If we capture her, it will be like holding Gu Nan's weak spot, and then it will be easy to deal with him."

Monkey nodded heavily: "Boss Xiao, don't worry, I will take care of things here and make sure everything goes according to plan."

Xiao Bao felt that the plan was perfect and felt much more at ease. He turned around and went back.

After Xiao Bao left, Monkey immediately went to look for the beggars. He placed the money he had prepared long ago on the ground, looked at the beggars who had gathered around him, and asked in a deep voice, "How is it? Has the woman I asked you to keep an eye on come out today?"

The beggars looked at each other, and one of the leaders answered, "I came out once this afternoon, stood at the door for a while, and then went back quickly."

A sneer appeared on the corner of Monkey's mouth - as long as she came out, it meant there was a chance to take action, and it would be much easier to deal with her then.

He pointed at the money on the ground and said to the beggars, "Just keep an eye on it for the next few days. As long as you come here and report the news every day, you will get the money. Do you understand?"

The beggars' eyes lit up when they saw the money on the ground, and they nodded quickly in agreement: "Understood! Understood!" For them, it didn't matter what the other party wanted to do, as long as they had the money, they would guarantee that the matter would be done properly.

The monkey couldn't stand the sour smell of sweat and dust on them, so he frowned, waved his hand, and left in a hurry.

After the monkey left, the beggars discussed it, leaving only two to watch. The rest, pocketing their newly acquired money, quickly ran off to eat and drink. For them, it was better to spend the money immediately than to keep it in their pockets—who knew how long this good thing would last? Being able to make a few more days here was a huge bargain.

On the other side, Heizi had been hiding in a corner, watching the movement. His nose moved, and he finally smelled the scent of the suspicious beggar that day. His eyes lit up, and he followed him silently, following the scent.

This time Heizi must give him a bite, then it will be easier to find him.

According to Heizi's little plan, he could catch up with the monkey, but he never expected that he could not find any trace of the monkey all of a sudden. Although Heizi was a little doubtful about his nose, he still went back first. After all, he was afraid that it would be bad if the monkey went back.

In fact, it’s not that Heizi’s nose is bad, but because Monkey has a bad life. After talking to the beggar, Monkey was going to go back to Boss Xiao to report the situation.

But I didn't expect that when I turned the corner, I found that my wallet had been stolen. I saw the thief and chased after him.

After all, the monkey never expected that he had been playing with the eagle, but he was actually caught by the eagle.

The monkey kept chasing, and originally thought that it would be easy to catch up with the person in front of him, but he didn't expect that the person in front was too familiar with this place.

The monkey suffered from its unfamiliarity with the road. When the person in front of it turned a corner, it was about to catch up.

The thief suddenly rushed out and knocked the monkey into the river. The monkey looked at the thief and said: "Okay, you are capable, but don't let me catch you next time, otherwise I will make you pay for the consequences of offending me."

The thief looked at the monkey and said, "Come up and talk."
