"Look at what you're saying. Do I, Xu Damao, look like such an unreasonable person?"

"Besides, I certainly wouldn't be so inconsiderate. Take this hundred yuan and buy some gifts when you go."

"I think I should go with you, wouldn't it look better that way?"

Li Chaoyang took the money immediately, and upon hearing Xu Damao's statement, he immediately denied it.

"Let's forget it. If you come with me, think about it. What if Lou Xiao'e's family has any objections to you? They'll be too embarrassed to say anything."

“It’s different when I go. If they have any opinions, they will tell me directly, and I will tell them when I get back so that you can make corrections, right?”

Xu Damao also trusted Li Chaoyang quite a bit, all of which was determined by Li Chaoyang's WeChat. Li Chaoyang was not only a prominent figure in the courtyard, but also in the entire city of Beijing.

If Li Chaoyang's marriage proposal is successful, Xu Damao's wedding will be a grand affair.

This was Xu Damao's second purpose in seeking out Li Chaoyang. Now that Li Chaoyang had said so, Xu Damao didn't think much of it.

It was already quite an achievement for Li Chaoyang to agree to run the errand for Xu Damao. If Xu Damao made any more trouble, and Li Chaoyang was afraid of refusing again, then Xu Damao would truly regret it.

"Whatever you say goes. I'm already very grateful for your help this time. From now on, your business is my business. Don't worry, I'll make sure you get your share of the profits after this is done."

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Li Chaoyang revealed a very strange smile.

Li Chaoyang was already getting impatient, but Xu Damao was still rambling on.

"If you keep dawdling here, I think you're going to be late for work."

After hearing Li Chaoyang's reminder, Xu Damao realized that he would be going to work soon and there was no time to spare, so he hurriedly pushed his cart and left the courtyard.

Li Chaoyang didn't rush to find Lou Xiao'e according to Xu Damao's address, because Li Chaoyang actually knew Lou Xiao'e's home address regardless of whether Xu Damao asked for it.

Last night's events gave Li Chaoyang a lot of inspiration. It seems that people are most inspired when their emotions are fluctuating, and to have inspiration, one needs to have life experience.

Li Chaoyang felt the passion and excitement last night, and now he wants to express his inner feelings through patriotic songs so that more people can feel the happiness and excitement of this moment.

Li Chaoyang always puts his lyrics practice book in a fixed spot. The one that Sha Zhu just took away was actually Li Chaoyang's practice book.

The genuine version was locked completely in the cabinet by Li Chaoyang, even though Li Chaoyang thought it was impossible for anyone to dare to steal his things.

However, Li Chaoyang also understood that he still needed to be on guard.

When Li Chaoyang was about to take out his training notebook to write lyrics, he found that his training pen was missing. Li Chaoyang thought he had made a mistake and searched several other places where he usually kept it.

But none of this left Li Chaoyang's mind blank. He never expected that he would actually lose his training book one day. Li Chaoyang remembered it clearly.

The day Song Chengxiang came, Li Chaoyang took out the training book from the drawer and showed it to Song Chengxiang. After looking at it, Song Chengxiang remembered it very clearly and put the training book back in the drawer.

Li Chaoyang's memory wasn't so bad that he couldn't remember anything. He was quite certain that the training manual had been lost.

The fact that the training manual could be lost in a place like a courtyard house made Li Chaoyang very angry.

Even without being told, Li Chaoyang could clearly tell that the training manual had been taken by someone and must have been stolen from the courtyard. If things could be stolen from the courtyard, Li Chaoyang went out angrily and shouted loudly.

"Listen up, all of you! Something's gone missing from my house. If any of you took it, bring it back to me right now!"

"What I lost was my daily practice notebook, which is a collection of all my works. It is very important to me and also to the entire cultural center."

Everyone who was supposed to be at work had already gone to work, leaving only a few elderly people at home. When they heard Li Chaoyang come out shouting and saying such things, it was indeed hard for the people in the courtyard to believe it.

Upon hearing this, the two older women felt that Li Chaoyang was trying to cause trouble again, so they stayed inside the house and dared not come out.

"What is Li Chaoyang up to? Is he trying to cause trouble again? Look at what he did to Lao Yi a while ago."

........ ..... 0

"With Li Chaoyang around, there's never a moment of peace. I wonder what he's up to. But we're innocent, so what does it have to do with us if he loses something?"

Li Chaoyang shouted and looked around, but no one came out or returned the items. Li Chaoyang knew that everyone had gone to work by now.

However, if it was stolen by these families, then even the women in the houses should know, and Li Chaoyang didn't intend to let it go so easily.

Although these are not official versions, many of these songs have never been released, and if they were secretly leaked, it would cause great damage to Li Chaoyang.

"I can't wait for you guys. You heard it, so be it. That thing of mine is very precious; it's all my hard work. I'm reporting it to the security department right now."

“This book can’t be stolen. It must have been stolen by someone from our courtyard. I won’t worry about you. I’ll have the security department investigate it themselves.”

"Once the security department finds out, let's see how you explain yourself."

Since Sha Zhu wasn't in the 4850 courtyard, no one was alarmed by the fact that no one was there. However, the fact that the matter had alerted the security department meant it was no small matter. At that moment, the Second Aunt and the Third Aunt were in the same room as the deaf old lady.

"This has blown up! It's going to affect the reputation of our courtyard house."

"Who says otherwise? It's such an important book, how much could it be worth? He's doing this on purpose. I think he's not happy unless he causes some trouble every few days."

"Don't say that. Li Chaoyang is a great musician now, a big celebrity in the whole city. His book is a lyric book. He relies on that. That can't be measured in money."

Li Chaoyang wasn't just trying to scare people; he meant what he said. After speaking, Li Chaoyang left the courtyard and quickly reported the matter to the security department.

When the security personnel saw who had arrived, Li Chaoyang warmly greeted them. Li Chaoyang was indeed a well-known musician in the entire city.

Although Li Chaoyang was a bit harsh on the people in the courtyard, he made significant contributions to the city.

Every year, Li Chaoyang would build roads in the city in his own name. This time, Chaoyang made a rare appearance to give a safety lesson.

"Isn't this Li Chaoyang? What brings you here? Please come in and have a seat. If you need anything, just let us know. We'll be right there at the courtyard house."

Li Chaoyang's expression and attitude were very serious, and you could tell from his face that something was definitely wrong. So at this moment, Li Chaoyang followed the security personnel into the office. All the security personnel surrounded Li Chaoyang, and Li Chaoyang explained all the issues in detail.

"I really have to trouble you all today, to be honest."

“My lyric book was unfortunately lost in the courtyard house. I am very anxious now because all my inspirations are there. Although they are not the standard finished versions, those inspirations are still very precious.”

"What angers me the most is that my things could actually be stolen in a courtyard house. It's an absolute disgrace."

This kind of thing is under the jurisdiction of the Security Department, especially since it involves Li Chaoyang. The Security Department staff found it very unbelievable that something could be stolen in a courtyard house.

"How could such a thing happen?"

"Don't worry, even if you don't come, we still have to investigate what's going on."

“What you have is a cultural product, its value is immeasurable. If we get the evidence and catch the thief, he will be in jail. The consequences are no small matter.”

Li Chaoyang knew, of course, that these regulations were meant to make this thief pay a heavy price, and no matter who it was, Li Chaoyang would never tolerate it.

"The people in the courtyard haven't returned yet. Wait until everyone gets off work and comes back before you take your people over."

Ran Qiuye was somewhat distracted at work, thinking about what happened last night. She wanted to tell everyone at the cultural center about it, but she didn't get Li Chaoyang's permission.

After returning to the courtyard house, Li Chaoyang had no heart for creating anything because he had lost his things. Li Chaoyang recalled the whole process, except for Ran Qiuye and Song Chengxiang coming to his room.

No outsiders came anymore, but Li Chaoyang knew that Ran Qiuye was absolutely out of the question, and Song Chengxiang had never approached the drawer on this side.

After much thought, Li Chaoyang became even more certain that the other people in the courtyard house were responsible. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, finally waiting until everyone in the courtyard house had returned from get off work.

The security personnel arrived at the courtyard house without rushing, as they were very attentive because it concerned Li Chaoyang.

After everyone got off work, they saw that there were people waiting in the courtyard, and there were so many security personnel in the courtyard, which shocked the neighbors.

However, since he hadn't done anything wrong, he naturally had nothing to feel guilty about.

Just as the people returning from get off work were about to go inside for dinner, the security personnel stopped them all.

"I've noticed you're all acting like nothing's wrong, sitting here nonchalantly and even planning to go inside for a meal. Don't you know what happened?"

"Give me all of you! Things went missing in the courtyard house, didn't any of you know about this?"

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui had just entered the room when you called them back, which surprised them greatly. They looked at each other for a moment, and then quickly began whispering to each other again.

"What? Something's missing? What's missing? When did you lose it?"

"I was wondering why the security personnel were here. This is unbelievable. Nothing has ever been stolen from our courtyard house before."

"Quickly check if anyone has had anything stolen! If a thief breaks into our courtyard, he'll definitely go from house to house. Maybe something's gone from our house too!"

"Who brought the security personnel here?"

Since it's still unknown who stole the items, Li Chaoyang believes that everyone in the courtyard is just trying to cover up this behavior.

"Stop pretending. Don't put on an act for me. I don't fall for it."

"I can tell you with absolute certainty that something was stolen from my house, and it was my songbook, the very book of my inspirations. If any of you took it, hand it over now and we'll call it even."

“If we don’t produce the 850, and the security department finds out, this matter will never end.”

I never thought it was Li Chaoyang who lost something. In the courtyard, no one dared to mess with Li Chaoyang. Now Li Chaoyang has said such a thing.

This only made the people in the courtyard even more surprised. Everyone in the courtyard started whispering among themselves, and the security personnel began their investigation at the same time.

"Because these things were stolen from a courtyard house, every household in your courtyard house is a suspect."

"We need to go door to door asking, 'Have you all returned?'"

Hearing what the security personnel said, they began to suspect that the incident was committed by someone inside the courtyard. This angered everyone, especially the elderly residents of the courtyard.

This feeling of being suspected is truly awful, especially for someone who has lived most of their life and is now being considered a thief by the people in the compound. Not to mention others, even Yi Zhonghai would find it unbearable.
