Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2538 Worries

Mike was helpless after hearing what Jin Jichuan said.

He was a firsthand witness to Lou Xiao'e's departure and was well aware of the injustices she suffered before she left.

If it were him, he would never have let these people in the courtyard house go.

Lou Xiao'e is so fortunate to have left behind such a large fortune; she must be a reincarnation of Buddha.

"Why don't you go find Lou Xiao'e yourself?"

"Me?" Jin Jichuan asked, puzzled. "What are you thinking?"

Mike said, "Back then, Lou Xiao'e originally wanted to take back the courtyard house and restaurant and then sell them."

It was Yi Zhonghai who stopped Lou Xiao'e with the old lady's last words.

This shows how important the old lady was to Lou Xiao'e.

You are Lou Xiao'e's grandson; even if she doesn't give face to others, she will give you face.

Jin Jichuan sat there, lost in thought.

Mike stopped the car and walked into the courtyard at No. 95. The Yan brothers stood up and stopped him.

"Mike, how's the collaboration going? We're all waiting for it."

Mike was speechless. Back in the day, Yan Bugui liked to guard the door; now it was his two sons' turn.

Unfortunately, Mike had no choice but to patiently chat with the two of them for a few minutes.

"Don't ask me, I'm even more anxious than you are. Every day we delay means we'll lose tens of millions in earnings."

But Sha Zhu refuses to help me contact He Yuzhu. What can I do?

You grew up with him, can't you try to persuade him?

"We also wanted to persuade him. But in the entire courtyard, Sha Zhu only listened to Qin Huairu and the old man."

No matter what others say, he treats it like it's nothing. What can we do?

They tried their best, but it was no use; Sha Zhu and Xu Damao simply ignored them.

Even three old men were wary of these two working together. To prevent them from joining forces, someone stirred up trouble between them, turning them into mortal enemies.

By taking advantage of the conflict between the two men, the three old men took control of the courtyard house.

Now that the three old men are gone, and the two have joined forces, they are no match for Sha Zhu at all.

In other words, Sha Zhu is too old to fight anymore.

Ten years ago, those guys would have been beaten black and blue by Sha Zhu long ago.

Mike cursed them as useless in his heart, but he also knew that they couldn't be blamed for this.

In order to control Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu deliberately indulged Sha Zhu, causing him to make enemies with all the neighbors in the courtyard.

Sha Zhu's relationship with these people is not good at all.

If he hadn't been fooled by Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu would never have been able to support the people in the courtyard house.

Knowing it wasn't their fault, Mike still forced them to work. There was no way around it; the bosses behind them were pushing even harder.

"You lot, don't blame me for being blunt. You have no money and no skills."

Why should we include you after the cooperation agreement is reached?

That's not like running a restaurant and making a pittance.

Even a small share can generate tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of profits.

Why should I give it to you for free?

If you want to join, you must make contributions. Otherwise, there's nothing for you.

"No, please. We can pool our money. We've calculated it, and the few of us can raise several hundred thousand yuan," Liu Guangtian said anxiously.

Mike chuckled: "What can you do with a few hundred thousand?"

Did you know that once a cooperation agreement is reached, banks will proactively come to us and give us money?

You should keep those hundreds of thousands for your retirement.

I'm putting this out there. The only way you can get a share of the profits is to convince Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

"If they agree, you'll have done a great job. Then I can put in a good word for you with my boss."

"This..." Liu Guangtian and the others looked troubled.

Mike ignored them and went straight into the Intermediate People's Court.

Liu Guangtian watched Mike's retreating figure, somewhat helplessly asking, "What do we do?"

The group exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.

“Mike’s words were unpleasant, but they were the truth. We have to prove our worth in order to get a chance to make money,” Yan Jiefang said.

"Isn't that obvious? Everyone knows that, but how are we going to convince Sha Zhu?" Liu Guangtian said irritably.

Yan Jiefang was too lazy to argue with him, so he said directly, "Let's think about how that old man and the deaf old woman fooled Sha Zhu." The group sat there and started thinking about it seriously.

Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiekuang were too young to remember the deaf old lady tricking Sha Zhu.

By the time they were old enough to remember things, the deaf old lady had already figured out Sha Zhu, and they didn't need to fool him at all.

As for Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang, although they had seen it, they were too young at the time to remember the situation.

The four of them thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution.

Liu Guangtian said, "If you ask me, we should just give up on this idea."

"If I misunderstand and end up like Kim Je-cheon, that would be troublesome."

They had all witnessed the botched attempt to reunite Jin Jichuan with his relatives.

If they weren't hoping that Jin Jichuan would lead them to wealth, they would have spread this as a joke long ago.

"Then what should we do?" Yan Jiekuang asked.

Liu Guangfu said, "We don't know, but someone else does."

"Why don't we just ask someone who knows?"

Several people's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea. But, who should we ask?"

"How about we ask Brother Guangqi?" Yan Jiekuang suggested.

Liu Guangtian immediately rejected the idea: "It would be pointless to go. My brother never cares about anything related to the courtyard house."

He was determined to escape the courtyard house.

The Liu brothers are extremely dissatisfied when Liu Guangqi is mentioned. Liu Guangqi enjoys the most benefits but bears the least responsibility.

They endured the most hardship, yet bore the greatest responsibility.

The seeds of conflict between the two sides had been sown long ago.

After Liu Haizhong died, the two sides almost never spoke to each other again.

Liu Guangfu said, "Don't worry about my brother. It's better to rely on Yan Jiecheng than on him."

“My brother?” Yan Jiekuang shook his head: “No. Don’t count on him.”

"What's wrong?" Liu Guangfu asked.

"He and my sister-in-law are as shrewd as monkeys. Let's go find them; they definitely know about making money."

"What will we do if they interfere?" Yan Jiefang said.

We're all from the Yan family, everyone knows each other.

If Yan Jiecheng finds out, he'll definitely try to take advantage of the situation.

Liu Guangtian said, "If he wants to get involved, then let him."

Anyway, the pie is so big; even if he doesn't come, someone else will.

The two Yan brothers were still somewhat unhappy, feeling that Yan Jiecheng had taken advantage of them for nothing.

But if they don't agree, it seems like there's no other way.

"Okay then. But I don't think it's safe to just ask my brother."

Back then, the deaf old lady and the old man were not to be trifled with. No one dared to stop them from doing whatever they wanted.

He might not dare to participate.

Liu Guangtian said, "In the entire courtyard, besides Xu Damao, who else dares to get involved?"

If all else fails, we can ask someone else.

"You can always find out by asking."

After thinking about it, the group agreed that it made sense and reached a consensus.

Yan Jiefang and another person went to find Yan Jiecheng to inquire about the situation back then.

The Liu brothers, on the other hand, went to find other people to inquire about what happened back then.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Their main task now is to buy time and allow the relevant departments to investigate Kim Jae-cheon.

Because of their procrastination, Mike has been going to the courtyard house more often lately.

Han Yue's tasks suddenly increased significantly, including monitoring Mike.

Seeing Mike enter the Jia family's house, Han Yue sat in the courtyard, quietly observing them. (End of Chapter)
