Siheyuan: Start at level 60, beat up all the animals

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were arguing over the mahogany box left by the deaf old lady. Everyone wanted to take this unexpected fortune for themselves. Suddenly there was a commotion in the yard. Someone shouted: "Look, look, the people from the street office are here! There are also people from the Public Security Bureau. It seems they are here to search or something!"

Before she finished her words, several men in uniform rushed into the deaf old lady's house.

Before Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui could react, they were grabbed by the collars and forcibly pulled up by several pairs of strong hands.

"You guys, come with us!" the leading police officer shouted sternly.

Yi Zhonghai turned pale and asked in a trembling voice: "We haven't broken any law, why are you arresting us?"

"Why? What shameful things did you guys do in the enemy spy's house? How dare you make excuses?" Another police officer sneered, "Let's go to the street office and explain it clearly!"

After that, several police officers dragged Yi Zhonghai and the other two out of the deaf old lady's house without further explanation.

They also took out the mysterious mahogany box, which attracted the attention of the residents of the courtyard gathered in the yard.

The crowd automatically parted to form a path, and Director Wang and the head of the Public Security Bureau walked over. Seeing the dishevelled and pale-faced Yi Zhonghai and the other two, the two leaders looked extremely unhappy.

"Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, you are so audacious!" Director Wang was so angry that he was shaking all over and poked his finger at the three people's noses. "The deaf old lady was just shot, and you are so eager to divide up her relics. It's simply lawless!"

"But...it's not like that..." Yi Zhonghai defended himself intermittently, with beads of sweat the size of beans dripping down his forehead.

"What do you mean by but and not? I tell you, the deaf old lady has been identified as an enemy spy, and her property will naturally be confiscated by the state. You are actually fighting openly and secretly here for a little bit of profit, breaking the law knowingly. Do you have any bottom line as a human being?" Director Wang reprimanded righteously.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong looked at each other, speechless for a moment. Yan Bugui tried to argue but was scolded by the head of the Public Security Bureau and couldn't even raise his head.

Although the residents in the courtyard couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the house, they could still guess what was going on. They pointed and talked among themselves.

"The first and second uncles are too outrageous. They often take advantage of the deaf old lady. Now that she's dead, they want to divide up the inheritance. They are absolutely heartless!"

"That's right. Just based on their behavior, they can forget about being the manager of a courtyard. I think these two will end up in jail sooner or later!"

"The third uncle is not a good guy either. Looking at his shifty look, he must be thinking about the treasures left by the old lady."

Everyone was criticizing them one after another, not giving Yi Zhonghai and the other two any face at all.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai inadvertently caught a glimpse of Li Yang, who seemed to be smiling, not far away through the crowd.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he suddenly understood something.

"It's this little bastard!" Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale, and he stared at Li Yang with hatred. "I knew it, how could the Street Office get such well-informed information? It turns out that this kid was meddling in other people's business and reported the secret!"

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui followed Yi Zhonghai's gaze and suddenly realized what was going on. They also cast resentful eyes at Li Yang, wishing they could eat this nosy boy alive.

Li Yang, however, didn't care at all, still looked relaxed and indifferent. He walked out of the crowd leisurely and came straight to Director Wang.

When Director Wang saw Li Yang, a relieved smile immediately appeared on his face.

He warmly shook Li Yang's hand and said gratefully: "Mr. Li, thanks to your wit and timely reporting to us, this group of parasites had nowhere to hide. You are a hero of our street office!"

Li Yang smiled shyly and whispered: "Director Wang, you are too polite. I am just fulfilling my duty as a citizen. Besides, you treat me well on weekdays, so I should also make some contribution to the atmosphere of our courtyard, right?"

"Haha, well said!" Director Wang was overjoyed by Li Yang's words, and immediately ordered his men to take Yi Zhonghai and the other two away and interrogate them for their crimes.

Before leaving, Yi Zhonghai turned around and glared at Li Yang fiercely, as if to say: "Just wait, kid, I'm not done with you!"

Li Yang smiled nonchalantly and watched everyone leave. Soon, the courtyard returned to its former tranquility.

At this time, Li Yang was standing alone in the deaf old man's empty room, seemingly thinking about something.

The death of the deaf old lady will inevitably lead to a series of chain reactions. Her house should be taken back, so who will the street office assign it to next?

An idea flashed through Li Yang's mind. Since becoming a formal engineer, he has become somewhat famous in the factory. If he could take this opportunity to apply to the leader for this room...

Thinking of this, Li Yang couldn't help but feel excited. He carefully looked at this small courtyard which was not spacious but had everything he needed, and thought secretly.

Although the house is a bit old, it has a great location and plenty of sunshine. If you get it, you can completely renovate it, break through the wall between the two rooms, and expand the living area.

In this way, the study room, toilet, bathroom, and even storage room can all be fully equipped. No more having to squeeze into a public bathroom or get up in the middle of the night to queue up for the toilet.

Of course, it is not easy to convince the boss to grant him the house, but Li Yang is confident that with a little effort, he may succeed.

After all, compared with others, I am much more outstanding in both work performance and political awareness.

Thinking of this, Li Yang showed a confident smile on his face. He took a final look around the deaf old lady's house and returned to the house.

……

In the afternoon, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui returned from the street office in dejected mood, sighing and looking dejected all the way.

After some severe criticism and education, the three finally escaped punishment, but they no longer had any dignity on their faces.

"What kind of world is this? People can't live when they are alive, and people can't even look at their dead bodies!" Liu Haizhong cursed as he walked, wishing he could kick the stones under his feet to pieces. "If it weren't for that little bastard Li Yang messing things up, how could we have fallen into this situation?"

"Humph, I think that guy just wants to take advantage of the old lady's inheritance to benefit himself!" Yi Zhonghai sneered and said with gritted teeth, "We will have to settle this account with him sooner or later!"

When it comes to Li Yang, the three of them are full of resentment. Last time, they reported Li Yang's corrupt lifestyle, but not only did they fail to punish him, but they also lost face in the factory. This time, they were tricked by Li Yang again, and they hated him to the core.

"But our strength is there. Even if we put our forces together, I'm afraid we can't beat that guy." Yan Bugui said somewhat disappointedly.

Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes and said with a sinister smile: "Who said we must use force? If we want to punish him, there are other ways."

"What method?" Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui asked in unison.

Yi Zhonghai lowered his voice mysteriously: "Although we can't beat him, we can do something to him and ruin his reputation!"

"Frame-up? What a great idea!" Liu Haizhong slapped his thigh, his eyes glowing green with excitement.

Yan Bugui was skeptical: "Didn't Lao Liu say that he failed to report him last time? If he does this again, what if he is exposed again..."

"Don't worry, this time is different." Yi Zhonghai said confidently, "Last time we didn't have enough intelligence and evidence. But this time, as long as we can get the Jia family involved, Li Yang won't be able to turn things around again!"

"Jia family? Will they help?" Liu Haizhong asked in surprise.
