Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Chapter 448 Box

While Xu Changping hurried back to the East Courtyard, he kept thinking about the places where important items might be hidden.

When he returned to the east wing, he started searching the yard without any hesitation.

He was sure that no one had ever entered the room. After all, it was where he lived every day, and he would have discovered anything wrong long ago.

After busying around in the front yard for most of the day, Xu Changping found nothing, but he didn't give up. He turned around and walked towards the back of the house.

Sure enough, just below the secret door that was converted from his study, Xu Changping discovered obvious signs that the land had been turned over.

Xu Changping's heart moved, and he quickly reached out and took out a sharp shovel from the system space he carried with him, and started digging without hesitation.

With every shovelful of dirt splashing, it didn't take long before a box buried deep in the ground appeared before his eyes.

The box looked quite old, with its surface covered with mottled marks left by the years, but fortunately the box was not locked.

Xu Changping held the shovel with one hand, and with one force he opened the lid and saw what was inside.

What caught his eye were several envelopes placed on top of the gold, silver and jade artifacts. Xu Changping didn't care about those gold, silver and jade artifacts. Instead, he put the several letters on the top into the system space.

After completing this series of actions, he closed the box again, then bent down and lifted the box easily.

He originally wanted to go out directly with the box, but thinking of those people in the yard, Xu Changping took a piece of cloth from the system space and covered the box with it.

"Xu boy, what's that in your hand?" As expected, the disguise was not in vain. As soon as Xu Changping stepped out of the East Cross Courtyard, he was blocked by Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai.

Liu Haizhong is a narrow-minded person. Ever since he returned home, the feeling of unwillingness to accept the outcome has been growing like weeds in his heart.

After thinking it over, he felt that he had suffered a great loss, so he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, went straight to the front yard to complain to Yi Zhonghai, and described the incident of parking at the door in an exaggerated way.

As for Yi Zhonghai, he didn't really want to get involved in such a mess, but he couldn't resist Liu Haizhong's coaxing and finally had no choice but to follow him into this mess.

Hearing the question, Xu Changping casually replied, "Oh, this is something a friend of mine temporarily left at my house."

However, Liu Haizhong on the side was like a cat that smelled blood, his eyes suddenly became bright.

He thought to himself: Humph, seeing how secretive this kid is, what's in here must not be an ordinary item. Maybe it's a generous gift he specially prepared for the big boss at the door!

Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong immediately took two steps forward, stretched his neck, and said with a flattering smile: "What's inside? Open it and let everyone see. It must be something shameful."

Liu Haizhong had a good idea. If something went wrong with this gift in Xu Changping's hands, the leader would definitely not acknowledge it.

In this way, although he failed to curry favor with the leader, he could not curry favor with the bastard Xu Changping either.

Xu Changping didn't know what Liu Haizhong was thinking. He glanced at him sideways, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile.

He suddenly raised his head and retorted rudely: "Uncle Liu, you are being too nosy, aren't you? Why should I open this thing at your command? Just go wherever you want and stop messing around here!"

After Liu Haizhong was mercilessly criticized by Xu Changping, his anger instantly rose.

His face flushed red, veins popped out on his forehead, his eyes widened, and he shouted angrily, "I am the second uncle of this hospital! I seriously suspect that the thing in your hand is of unknown origin. Open it and let me check it immediately!"

However, Xu Changping simply ignored Liu Haizhong's request and responded coldly: "You are not a public security officer, what qualifications do you have to check my things? Stop meddling in other people's business here and get out of here!"

After saying that, he glanced at Yi Zhonghai who was staying out of the matter, walked straight forward and used his shoulder to slam away Liu Haizhong who was blocking his way.

There was only a dull sound, and Liu Haizhong was caught off guard and stumbled back a few steps. If Yi Zhonghai hadn't stepped in in time to hold him up, I'm afraid Liu Haizhong would have fallen to the ground in a mess.

"You...you are simply lawless. You even dare to offend an elder like me!" After Liu Haizhong stood firm, he was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Xu Changping's back and cursed.

At this time, Xu Changping completely ignored Liu Haizhong's shouting, and strode towards the gate of the courtyard without looking back. In a blink of an eye, his figure disappeared outside the door.

"Okay, Lao Liu, you don't have the authority to check other people's things, so stop making trouble!" Watching Xu Changping walking farther and farther away until he disappeared, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly reached out and grabbed the emotional Liu Haizhong, and persuaded him with a helpless and slightly reproachful look on his face.

However, Liu Haizhong was already furious at this time. He suddenly shook off Yi Zhonghai's hand that was tightly grasping him and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Who said I don't have power? That was clearly a bribe! He must have given benefits to the person in the car parked outside the door!

"Old Yi, you are too honest and kind. You know, if someone in the factory had sponsored you, with your ability as an eighth-level fitter, you should have been the workshop director by now!"

Faced with Liu Haizhong's unreasonable and outspoken words, Yi Zhonghai felt angry and annoyed.

He widened his eyes and raised his voice to scold: "You said someone offered a bribe. Did you catch them in the act or did they offer you a bribe? Aren't you just talking nonsense now? Don't talk nonsense in the yard anymore!"

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He shook his hands fiercely, turned around and walked quickly towards the front yard.

As he walked, he was so angry that he cursed inwardly: Old Liu is such an idiot, how much salary can he get as a workshop director? An eighth-level fitter like him not only has a salary lower than that of the factory director, but he is also a big shot in the factory!

When I'm in a bad mood, I can even ignore the factory director's face. Who wants to be the director of a crappy workshop?

He arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and before he even raised his hand to knock on the window, the sharp-eyed driver had already noticed his arrival and got out of the car to open the door for him.
