Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

"Okay, okay, okay, buddy, I admit it. Really, you are all my boss!" Du Weidong said, waving his hands helplessly.

"Stop talking nonsense and go into their house!" Ning Yuan said to get things back on track.

"Let's go! Hey, take some people to find some bricks!" Du Weidong responded to Ning Yuan, and at the same time did not forget to order his men to start working.

Upon hearing this, several of Du Weidong's followers in the yard were ready to take action.

"Stop the fucking mess. No one is going to do anything to me without my permission. Do you hear me?"

Ning Yuan stopped talking immediately after hearing Du Weidong's words, and then spoke seriously to the group of young men in the compound behind him.

Hearing Ning Yuan's words, the young men who were about to pick up stones stopped immediately.

The prestige Ning Yuan had built up during this period was reflected at this time. Although those people were all Du Weidong's men, Ning Yuan's voice was really effective and no one dared to act on their own anymore.

"Why, buddy?" Du Weidong asked with a puzzled look at Ning Yuan who suddenly exploded.

"Because I just went to the department store early this morning and found out how much it costs to install glass!"

Ning Yuan was telling the truth. His house had two large windows, and it took eight pieces of glass.

These eight pieces of glass cost more than one dollar, almost two dollars.

He had made a lot of money recently and spent seventy or even a hundred dollars on treating everyone to a meal, so naturally he didn't care about a dollar or two. However, he saw an elderly couple at the window where glass was being cut in the department store.

(Story abridged)

The old couple spoke not very standard Mandarin and described the specifications and dimensions of their own glass to the salesperson over and over again.

After talking for a long time before deciding on the size of the glass, they were stunned when they heard the price quoted by the salesperson.

After the salesperson urged them, the old couple looked at the banknotes in their hands, looked at each other for a long time, and finally said hesitantly that they would not buy it for the time being, and would just go back and paste some window paper to cover it up!

Ning Yuan watched the whole process from the side and felt a little uncomfortable, so he went straight up to the salesperson and said that he, Ning Yuan, also paid for the glass used by the old couple.

After paying the money, Ning Yuan didn't care about the old couple's constant thanks. He just walked out of the store and went to buy other things.

So, after what happened in the morning, when Ning Yuan heard that Du Weidong was going to do the same thing again, he immediately stopped him and even sulked.

When Du Weidong heard Ning Yuan's unfriendly tone and saw that the expression on his face did not look like he was joking, he waved his hand and signaled his young men not to act rashly.

"Brother, when did that happen in your family?" Du Weidong asked curiously again.

"There's no rush for this. It'll be over in a minute. Treat me to dinner and we'll talk in detail!"

Ning Yuan was brought back to his senses by Du Weidong's question. He no longer had a stern face and spoke in a more relaxed tone.

"Okay, buddy, I'll treat you guys later. Stop reminding me again and again!" Du Weidong said helplessly.

As they were talking, Du Weidong, Ning Yuan, Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang had already walked up the steps from the yard and arrived at the door of the main house.

Du Weidong raised his hand and started banging on the door.

"squeak--"

The old wooden door was pulled open from the inside. The door hinges were badly aged and there was a harsh sound when the door was opened.

"You, what on earth are you going to do?"

The old man who opened the door was estimated to be in his sixties or seventies. Seeing another large group of young people from the compound, he couldn't help but get angry and spoke with a hoarse voice.

Du Weidong pushed open the wooden door, knocked the old man aside and rushed in.

Ning Yuan also followed him in and helped the staggering old man.

"Hey? Old man, we came here a few days ago and saw so many calligraphy and paintings, how come there is nothing left today?"

After Du Weidong rushed in and took a quick look around, he was stunned and asked angrily.

"You old bastard, tell me the truth! If you don't, I'll fucking...!"

Du Weidong was still thinking about taking advantage of the situation to make a fuss after entering the house.

As a result, he miscalculated, and now Du Weidong couldn't even vent his anger.

(Story abridged)

Du Weidong stretched out his hand to slap the old man.

Ning Yuan was right next to Du Weidong. Seeing him suddenly about to attack, Ning Yuan reacted quickly and stopped him directly.

"Huh? Ning Yuan? What do you mean?" Du Weidong looked at Ning Yuan with an unhappy expression.

"Weidong, you're really going to take action against this old man?"

Ning Yuan let go of Du Weidong's arm, patted his shoulder and said.

Du Weidong stared at Ning Yuan, then looked at the two troublemakers, Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang, behind him. Without saying anything more, he walked out of the room and called a few of his trusted brothers in.

In this way, this trip almost became Du Weidong's most restrained one.

Well, if it could be found so easily, why bother hiding it?

Du Weidong looked at Ning Yuan and the others in the room, and felt a little angry.

But after all, I can't ask directly in front of my little brother.
