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

Chapter 888 Comrades from the Public Security Bureau are coming

Yan Bugui put on an unnatural smile, waved his hand and said, "Hey, those are all misunderstandings, don't take them to heart."

He Yuzhu had no intention of saving face for Yan Bugui at this moment. He knew that Gu Nan would never target him for no reason, and now was his chance to show his true colors. He had to seize the opportunity to make his stance clear. So he stepped forward, looked directly at Yan Bugui, and said loudly, "Second Uncle, what's the misunderstanding? We heard everything Tiedan said just now, it can't be fake, right?"

Yan Bugui was choked by the question, not knowing how to defend himself for a moment. His lips moved, but he hadn't yet formed his words. At this moment, Tiedan suddenly raised his head, looked at Yan Bugui curiously and asked, "Teacher Yan, why are you always looking outside? Is there someone looking for you?"

Yan Bugui's heart skipped a beat, but he forced a smile and quickly changed the subject: "Let's talk about the house first. Ultimately, this matter is mainly the work of the Jia and Liu families. If you have any questions, you should ask them. Why are you always staring at me?"

Liu Haizhong listened from the side, secretly cursing Yan Bugui for being cunning—as expected, this guy kicked the ball back again. After hearing what Yan Bugui said, the neighbors in the courtyard felt that there was some truth in it. They all turned their eyes to Liu Haizhong and said in a flurry, "Uncle, Uncle, since you said so, then you have to explain this matter to us clearly!"

Liu Haizhong had thought Yan Bugui would help smooth things over, but he unexpectedly pushed the blame onto him, leaving him unprepared. Frowning, he looked at the neighbors who had gathered around him and said, "You can't say that. Think about it, the deaf old lady's house has been empty for so long. I'm the eldest in the compound, after all. According to both reason and etiquette, I should be the one to take over the temporary solution. What's wrong with that?"

The people in the courtyard were a bit confused by his words and didn't react for a moment. But there were also some who were clear-headed, with dissatisfaction on their faces, and were about to open their mouths to refute.

At this tense moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the courtyard gate, and several people in police uniforms walked in, scanning the crowd in the courtyard.

Liu Haizhong's heart skipped a beat, and he was instantly panicked. Why were the Public Security Bureau here? Although he didn't dare say anything, he knew in his heart that he absolutely couldn't let the Public Security Bureau know about this. If they intervened and found out that the house originally belonged to "reactionaries," then his group's secret attempt to divide the house would be exposed. The consequences would be unimaginable, and he might even get into trouble.

He suppressed his panic and quickly went over to them, forcing out a warm smile. He said, "Comrades, I'm the eldest uncle in this hospital. What brings you here?"

The leading public security officer glanced at him and asked directly, "We're looking for two people. Who are Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu?"

Although Liu Haizhong was completely confused and had no idea what was going on, he suddenly lost his confidence when he saw the uniformed police officer in front of him, and the dignified look on his face disappeared. He quickly stood up straight and replied with a bit of restraint, "I am Liu Haizhong. I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

Qin Huairu on the other side also hurried over with a hint of panic on her face, and quickly explained: "I am Qin Huairu. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary during this period of time. What happened?" She was very nervous and felt that it might be related to the matter of the house.

The public security officer glanced at the two men and spoke in a serious tone, "Someone reported that you, Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu, were planning to occupy a house that originally belonged to the reactionaries. I wonder if this is true?"

Liu Haizhong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he instinctively wanted to make some excuses. But out of the corner of his eye, he saw the neighbors gathered in the yard, all listening intently. Everyone could testify that they had a heated argument over the house a while ago. For a moment, he didn't know how to defend himself. His lips moved, but no words came out.

At this time, another public security officer came over from the backyard after checking and whispered to the leading policeman: "The seal is still intact and there is no sign of being tampered with." The leading policeman nodded and whispered a few more words in his companion's ear.

Then, he turned to Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu, his tone softened but still carried unquestionable authority: "Liu Haizhong, Qin Huairu, the two of you should come to the Public Security Bureau tomorrow morning. Someone will then discuss the situation with you in detail."

Liu Haizhong could still act like a superior to his neighbors in the courtyard, but in front of the police, he didn't dare to say a word. He nodded and humbly replied, "I know, I know. I will be there on time tomorrow morning. I won't be late."

The police knew that the people in the courtyard were likely planning to take over the house, but since the seals were intact and they hadn't actually taken over yet, it wasn't time to arrest them. It would be a waste of police resources to start a fight over something that hadn't even materialized.

So, they simply taught the two of them a few words, asking them to behave themselves and not to covet things that did not belong to them, and then left in a hurry - there were still a bunch of cases waiting to be dealt with in the bureau, and they really didn't have the time to waste here any longer.

As soon as the police left, Liu Haizhong felt like a deflated ball, his head drooping, his heart filled with frustration. He paced the courtyard, mumbling, "What the hell is going on? Now everyone in the courtyard knows about this, and even the police have been alerted. This is not a good sign..."

Qin Huairu's face was also grim, and she was furious. She had originally planned to wait until Liu Haizhong was no longer a possibility, and then try to find a way to get the house herself. But now the police knew about it, and it would be even more difficult to take action in the future.

She turned to look at Liu Haizhong, who was still sighing, and said with a hint of complaint in her tone, "Uncle, who on earth reported this? How did the Public Security Bureau know about our affairs for no reason?"

Liu Haizhong pondered Qin Huairu's words and felt that they did make some sense. He cleared his throat and raised his voice to the neighbors in the courtyard (with a tone of unquestionable authority): "I have the final say on this matter. We can just discuss and resolve it directly in our courtyard. Why bother calling the police? It would be terrible if it got out!"
