Lu Ning knew that this matter would not end easily, as Sha Zhu's character meant that he would not give up.

But he also understood that as long as he was careful and didn't reveal any flaws, Sha Zhu wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

So, Lu Ning continued with his life, ignoring Sha Zhu's anger and threats.

One night, Lu Ning was reading in the house when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps and low conversations coming from outside.

He stood up and walked to the window, looking out through the gap in the curtains. He saw several figures flash by. They seemed to stay in front of Sha Zhu's house for a while, and then left in a hurry.

Lu Ning's heart moved, and he quietly opened the door and went out. In the dim moonlight, he saw some scattered paper scraps and footprints at the door of Sha Zhu's house, as if someone had scattered something here.

He carefully picked up a piece of paper and found some unclear words written on it, which roughly meant to warn Sha Zhu not to bully his neighbors again, otherwise there would be more serious consequences.

Lu Ning frowned. It was obvious that he was not the one who caused the scraps of paper, but he didn't intend to care about it.

There are still many people in the courtyard who are dissatisfied with Sha Zhu, but they usually don't dare to show it. Maybe it's a good thing that someone is standing up now.

In this way, Sha Zhu's attention will be distracted and he can live a more stable life.

Sure enough, the next day, when Sha Zhu found the scraps of paper at the door, he was furious, but he couldn't find any clues, so he could only be more cautious and guard against the people around him.

He even began installing simple traps outside his home in an attempt to catch anyone who might be trying to harm him.

Seeing this, the residents in the courtyard became more cautious to avoid direct conflict with him, and the entire courtyard was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

Lu Ning continued to keep a low profile, occasionally chatting with neighbors to learn about what was going on in the yard.

This secret war will not end easily, but as long as you stay vigilant and don't reveal any flaws, you can continue to live a peaceful life.

In the courtyard, Sha Zhu was exhausted by Lu Ning's tricks these days, but he had no evidence at all, so Sha Zhu looked at his arch-enemy Xu Damao with suspicion.

Xu Damao in the courtyard was very confused because he did nothing.

Xu Damao was walking around the yard, his heart beating fast.

Sha Zhu has been sarcastic and mocking him recently, and even glaring at him from time to time, which makes Xu Damao feel puzzled.

When I got home, I sat in a chair, frowned and thought for a long time, but I couldn't figure it out.

So he decided to go and confront Sha Zhu face to face.

Xu Damao walked to Sha Zhu's house and knocked.

When Sha Zhu opened the door and saw that it was Xu Damao, his face darkened and he said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Xu Damao suppressed his unhappiness and tried to speak in a calm tone: "Shazhu, have I offended you in some way recently? You have been so hostile to me these past few days, which makes me very uncomfortable."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he sneered and said, "Xu Damao, why are you still pretending to be confused? I've been in so much trouble recently, who else could have done it if not you?"

Xu Damao was stunned and quickly explained: "Shazhu, what are you talking about? I didn't do anything!"

Sha Zhu didn't believe it and said word by word: "I have been plagued by bad luck one after another, how come they happen around you? Xu Damao, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being rude!"

Xu Damao also got angry, pointing at Sha Zhu's nose and saying, "Sha Zhu, let me tell you, I, Xu Damao, am upright and honest, and would never do such a despicable thing! If you have evidence, bring it out. If you don't have evidence, don't spit bloody words at me!"

The two quarreled fiercely, and the noise became louder and louder, attracting everyone in the courtyard.

Everyone gathered around to see what was going on.

The uncles and aunts in the yard hurried forward to try to stop the fight, and Old Mrs. Wang also came out with a cane.

She frowned and said, "What are you two doing? It's so embarrassing to quarrel so loudly!"

Sha Zhu then stopped talking, glared at Xu Damao, angrily returned to the house, slammed the door and left.

Xu Damao was so angry that his face turned blue and he stood there for a long time without moving.

Old Lady Wang looked at Xu Damao and asked, "Xu Damao, what happened to Shazhu these days? What are you guys arguing about?"

Xu Damao took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and recounted the whole story.

After listening to this, Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "You two are both adults, and it's not a good idea to keep quarreling like this.

Xu Damao, don't be angry, I'll go find Sha Zhu and have a good chat."

Xu Damao nodded, sighed, and said, "Then I'll trouble you, old lady.

I am really wronged."

Old Mrs. Wang, leaning on a cane, slowly walked to Sha Zhu's house and knocked on the door.

When Sha Zhu opened the door and saw that it was her, he calmed down a little and said, "Old lady, why are you here?"

Old Lady Wang walked into the room, sat down and said softly, "Shazhu, what were you arguing about with Xu Damao just now? He said he didn't do anything."

Sha Zhu said angrily: "Old lady, you don't know, I have been having bad luck these days.

If it wasn't Xu Damao, who else could it be?"

Old Lady Wang patiently advised: "Shazhu, you have to provide evidence too.

Xu Damao said he didn't do it, so don't accuse him.

The relationship between neighbors in our courtyard is already bad, and quarreling like this will only make the conflict worse.”

Sha Zhu sighed and said, “But old lady, I am really too upset.

Every time something happened, Xu Damao was nearby, how could I not be suspicious? "

Old Lady Wang patted Sha Zhu's hand and said earnestly, "Sha Zhu, you can't think like this.

We are all neighbors, we should help each other and understand each other.

If Xu Damao really did something bad, we should also talk about reason and evidence.

He must feel bad if you doubt him like this."

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "I understand, old lady.

I will pay attention. ”

At this time, Lu Ning overheard their conversation outside the house and felt secretly proud.

He walked away cautiously, thinking that these little tricks he had devised were indeed effective.

Lu Ning is a scheming man. He does not have any deep hatred with Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, but he always feels that these people in the courtyard look down on him, so he decides to make trouble secretly, create conflicts, and make everyone suspicious of each other.

Lu Ning returned to his room, thinking about his next plan in his mind.

He knew that the relationship between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao was already very tense, and he only needed to add fuel to the fire to make them become complete enemies.

In the following days, although Sha Zhu and Xu Damao did not quarrel again, the hostility between them still existed.

The atmosphere in the courtyard became more tense, and everyone was cautious, fearing that a new conflict would be caused by accident.

One evening, Lu Ning deliberately placed some nails on the road that Sha Zhu and Xu Damao had to pass.
