Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

But when the woman heard that a thief had broken into her backyard, she immediately yelled, "What! A thief?"

Immediately afterwards, she opened the door and nervously looked around, asking, "Where is it? Where is it?"

Seeing that Li Chaoyang was still standing there without moving, the old woman urged him, "Young man, hurry up and catch the thief!"

"The yard's been burgled, what are you standing there for, a grown man like you, doing..."

Li Chaoyang looked at the middle-aged woman with a rather speechless expression...

This guy's voice is so loud that the whole next yard could probably hear him!

Seeing that he didn't react, the old woman shouted into the yard again: "A thief has broken into the yard!"

"Everyone, come out and catch the thief!"

This shout showed Li Chaoyang what it meant to have a hundred people respond to a single call.

The old woman was still shouting when people rushed out of their houses in a panic...

Even Li Chaoyang, who was standing at the back gate, could hear what sounded like a group of people coming this way from the front.

"Where?"

Where is the thief?

Li Chaoyang heard another man shouting as he ran towards him.

Looking back, it seemed this person was still holding a pair of chopsticks in their hand...

They were probably eating inside when they heard there was a thief and rushed out...

That's really helpful... But when Li Chaoyang took a closer look, hey... isn't that Xu Damao again!

However, judging from the way he ran out, his knee probably doesn't hurt anymore...

In no time, the small backyard gate was packed with people.

It seemed that everyone in the entire courtyard had come over.

Several people who came over first surrounded the older woman, asking her where the thief was...

The scene was incredibly lively...

Li Chaoyang saw that the old man Yi Zhonghai, whom he had never met before, was walking over with his hands behind his back.

He looked just like I remembered, with a stubble and a buzz cut, a rather robust old man, no wonder he's an eighth-level fitter...

Xu Damao finally arrived at that moment.

When Xu Damao saw that it was Li Chaoyang, he was first stunned, and then glared at him with his triangular eyes.

Then he leaned closer to the older woman and asked, "Aunt Zhang, where is the thief?"

"Did this new kid steal something from your house?"

"Damn it..." Li Chaoyang was already annoyed that he hadn't caught the thief.

When Xu Damao first glared at him, and then started shouting that he was a thief, he got angry and grabbed Xu Damao by the collar.

"Xu Damao, you dare say that again?"

"What are you doing!" Xu Damao immediately shouted again.

Actually, he just wanted to deliberately annoy Li Chaoyang.

But to his surprise, Li Chaoyang grabbed him in front of so many people.

At this moment, Aunt Zhang hurriedly said, "Xu Damao, what nonsense are you talking about? My house wasn't robbed!"

"It was this new young man whose things were stolen from his room..."

"If you don't know, then shut up. This young man is in a panic because he lost something!"

"Asking that is practically asking for a beating."

"Haven't you had enough of being beaten during the day?"

Upon hearing this last sentence, the crowd who had witnessed the spectacle during the day burst into laughter.

This made Xu Damao, who was being grabbed by the collar by Li Chaoyang, blush instantly...

Even in this state, he still struggled to explain to the old lady, "Aunt Zhang, how was I supposed to know he was the one who was robbed!"

"If I'd known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have come out. It would have been so much better to stay inside and enjoy myself..."

"It's because I heard you shout 'Stop thief!' when I came out and saw him, I thought it was..." Just as he finished speaking, Li Chaoyang pulled his hand up again, and Xu Damao quickly shut up.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle...

However, Lou Xiao'e, who arrived from behind, happened to witness this scene.

However, she saw that her husband was being grabbed by the collar and didn't say anything, but she was unhappy with Aunt Zhang who had just scolded Xu Damao.

Squeezing into the crowd, he pointed at the older woman and yelled, "Aunt Zhang, how can you be like this?"

"Can't you see that our Xu Damao is being bullied?"

"If you're not going to try to mediate, you shouldn't be kicking someone when they're down, right?"

"He was just worried that your house had been burgled, so he came out to help you catch the thief!"

"You're something else..."

Aunt Zhang was rebuffed and, unwilling to tolerate it, immediately started arguing with Lou Xiao'e.

Well, once the two women started arguing, the situation immediately became even more chaotic...

This left Li Chaoyang, who was still holding onto Xu Damao, completely stunned...

He never expected that losing just a plate of meat would cause such a commotion...

For a moment, even the hand gripping Xu Damao loosened slightly, and Xu Damao quickly broke free and retreated into the crowd...

Just then, a powerful roar suddenly rang out from behind the crowd!

"Enough! Stop arguing!"

Chapter Thirty-Two: Xu Damao! Getting beaten up is a small matter, but having a thief in the yard is a big deal!

The noisy scene instantly fell silent.

The crowd that had been watching the commotion just moments before all turned around to look.

Li Chaoyang was no exception; upon hearing this, he instinctively looked over.

Only then did they realize that the one who had just let out that angry roar was an old man named Yi Zhonghai.

Li Chaoyang was a little puzzled. Hadn't this old man been here for a while?

He was already quite tall, and he had seen Yi Zhonghai arrive long ago when he was standing on the steps.

For some reason, Yi Zhonghai didn't step forward to stop the farce at first, but only spoke up now.

The two women who had been arguing loudly in the crowd immediately fell silent when they saw that it was an old man.

Just as Li Chaoyang was thinking that this old man was quite prestigious, Xu Damao looked at him as if he had seen a savior.

He darted through the crowd and said, "Grandpa, you've come at the perfect time!"

"This kid bumped into me with his bicycle during the day, and just now he grabbed my collar and looked like he was going to hit me!"

"You'd better give me a good evaluation!"

"We can't let this kid be so arrogant and domineering in our yard!"

"This is a huge opportunity to disrupt the stability and unity of our institute..."

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e, who had been silent, seized the opportunity to say, "That's right, old man."

"You're the head of our compound."

"This guy has bullied my Xu Damao twice today!"

"Just now, when we were eating, my son Xu Damao was still crying out in pain from his knees."

"You really need to keep an eye on this!"

But to everyone's surprise, the old man didn't even bother to look at Lou Xiao'e.

Instead, he turned his old face towards Xu Damao and scolded him fiercely, "Xu Damao, I just told you to stop arguing!"

"You two are just pretending you didn't hear anything, aren't you?"

"Now that a thief has broken into the yard, do you think it's more important to get beaten up again or to deal with this?"

Upon hearing the words "getting beaten again," everyone burst into laughter once more, making Xu Damao, who had just been excited, blush with embarrassment.

However, this incident also dragged his wife, Lou Xiao'e, into the mess, making her face burn with embarrassment...

Seeing the couple blushing together, Li Chaoyang couldn't help but chuckle to himself...

But after talking about Xu Damao, the old man Yi Zhonghai turned around and walked towards Li Chaoyang.

Judging from their posture, they seem rather aggressive...
