Chapter 13: Beasts Are Still Those Same Beasts

"What are you doing, ouch." A dazed He Yuzhu was suddenly startled awake.

A rustling sound came through.

He Yuzhu could not help but curl his toes tight.

A muffled grunt that did not sound human came from his throat.

"Brother, I really have no other way, please help your sister, I beg you."

Qin Huairu's slurred voice came through.

"Get up first, I'm not that kind of person..."

He Yuzhu was being somewhat hypocritical.

He pressed down on Qin Huairu's head.

"Ugh!"

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

"Inhale."

"Exhale."

A trail of smoke puffed out from He Yuzhu's nostrils, and he let out a sigh of helplessness; this Qin Huairu really is a succubus.

"Zhuzi, won't you help your sister? Your sister really has no other way."

Qin Huairu knelt to one side, wiping away tears while looking hopefully at He Yuzhu's profile, illuminated in the darkness by the cigarette butt.

"Sigh, what am I supposed to say about you? You don't discipline him normally, so what do you expect when he causes trouble? I even had to borrow money from my apprentice to buy groceries. Besides, this matter has caused public outrage, do you understand?" Looking at Qin Huairu, who was staring at him, He Yuzhu sat up.

"Think of a way, I know you're the smartest. Ask your brother-in-law to help, I beg you. I only have this one son; other than stealing some food from you, he was just playing around and accidentally burned your house down. Can you please think of a way? I really beg you."

He Yuzhu was speechless; you really know how to talk.

Suddenly, Qin Huairu's eyes lit up: "Right, go to the Public Security Station with me and say that Bang Geng was trying to light the stove for you early, accidentally started the fire, and used a quilt to put it out, which caused the blaze. Then, say he was afraid of being scolded so he hid. They will definitely give him a lighter sentence. Let's go, let's go right now."

As she spoke, Qin Huairu jumped off the bed and pulled He Yuzhu, wanting to head out.

He Yuzhu shook his hand, threw Qin Huairu off, and pulled up his pants.

"Sister, do you think the people at the Public Security Station are stupid? Forget it, Bang Geng has probably already confessed everything by now. Besides, even if they believed what you said, can you come up with the bail money?"

Qin Huairu remained in that agitated state, not caring at all that He Yuzhu had thrown her off, and kept muttering to herself, pacing in circles in the room. She hadn't taken in a single word of what He Yuzhu said.

"Let's go, why are you just standing there like a fool? Come with me, you won't know until you try, Zhuzi. Then you can think of a way to borrow some money so we can bail Bang Geng out." After pacing for a while, Qin Huairu noticed He Yuzhu was still sitting on the edge of the bed with an expressionless face, and she immediately grew anxious, constantly pulling on He Yuzhu's arm to drag him out.

"Enough! Qin Huairu! Can you wake up?!" He Yuzhu looked at the somewhat obsessed Qin Huairu, hardened his heart, threw her onto the bed, and then got up to light another cigarette.

"Wuu wuu, you have such a cruel heart. Can't you just lend your sister some money and think of a way?" Qin Huairu was stunned by being thrown, then collapsed onto the quilt and wailed loudly.

"Sigh, I really give up on you. Bang Geng's matter isn't about money anymore, don't you understand!"

"Then what is it? You have a way, right? Help your sister." Qin Huairu's hope was rekindled, and she suddenly lifted her head.

Just as the words left her mouth, He Yuzhu's mouth was half-open when suddenly, the room door was kicked open with a bang, giving them both a fright.

Xu Damao stroked his little mustache, looking triumphant, and walked in with the Workers Inspection Team, the Security Team, the three Elders, and a crowd of others.

"Look, what did I say? Shazhu is having an illicit affair with the widow Qin Huairu!" As he spoke, Xu Damao pointed at the disheveled Qin Huairu.

He Yuzhu was shocked, and then his heart filled with rage. This dog-son Xu Damao had been waiting behind his back the whole time.

"Zhuzi, tell us, what exactly is going on?!" The First Elder spoke expressionlessly, his tone full of disappointment.

"Exactly, you can't lie in front of the leaders!" The Second Elder also looked triumphant, silently dwelling on the time He Yuzhu scolded him, with none of the harmony they had when drinking together that night.

"That's right, explain yourself, Shazhu. Such a big thing happened at Qin Huairu's house, you can't take advantage of someone in their time of need. Even if you couldn't hold it in, you should have gone to the factory to get a referral letter and get a marriage certificate first, right?" The Third Elder also spoke with a mocking smile.

"See, Captain, the witnesses and evidence are all here. Middle of the night, a lone man and a lone woman in the same room, Qin Huairu is disheveled and messy, the evidence is ironclad. Should we arrest them both? Put signs on them and parade them!" Xu Damao watched He Yuzhu, who was slowly clenching his fists, and while speaking, he squeezed behind the Elders, not forgetting to shout loudly.

The entire Siheyuan was stirred by Xu Damao's shouting, and people came out one after another, throwing on their clothes.

Lou Xiao'e wore the hat He Yuzhu had given her and glared fiercely at Xu Damao, who was hiding in the crowd, full of contempt for his behavior.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, do you have anything else to say!" That Captain frowned, staring fixedly at He Yuzhu's eyes, looking ready to bring him to justice with a single command.

He Yuzhu glanced indifferently at the Captain and scanned the crowd without speaking.

At this moment, his heart, which had somewhat changed its view of the beasts in the Siheyuan, instantly turned cold as iron.

Beasts are still those same beasts!

These guys, they pick up their bowls to eat and put them down to curse their mothers!

The Captain looked at the dumbfounded Qin Huairu, a strange glint flashing in his eyes, and then said: "If you have nothing to say, come with us, both of you."

As he spoke, he prepared to wave his hand to have them taken.

He Yuzhu used both hands to push the two approaching Security Guards aside, which immediately gave everyone a fright.

He Yuzhu was skilled in Martial Arts and was known as the God of War of the Siheyuan; if he really went crazy, the others probably wouldn't get off easily, so they scrambled to squeeze out of the room.

The Second Elder's fat body and Xu Damao were stuck together in the narrow doorframe of He Yushui's room, which made He Yuzhu chuckle.

"What?! He Yuzhu, are you going to oppose the organization?!" The Captain turned his head to look at the chaotic crowd behind him, not moving. He wasn't afraid; in fact, he was secretly looking forward to He Yuzhu resisting, as that would mean a bigger merit!

"I'm telling you, don't try to frame me! Which dog eye of yours saw us having an illicit affair?! Huh! Where is the evidence?!" He Yuzhu lit a cigarette, secretly giving a thumbs up to Qin Huairu's relative in his heart; thank goodness, thank goodness...

"This... what are a lone man and a lone woman doing together in the middle of the night? Tell me? Also, why are her clothes and hair a mess?" The Captain asked relentlessly.

"Nonsense, something happened at her house, do you think she can sleep? She has to come over to ask for help and borrow money no matter what time it is. You came early; if you came later, she would have had to go to the Second Elder's house. Does that mean they are having an illicit affair too?!" He Yuzhu spat out the cigarette butt and said irritably.

"You... Shazhu, you're talking nonsense! Captain, he's spouting rubbish to slander me!" The Second Elder, stuck in the doorframe, wouldn't have it; what did this have to do with him?

"Comrade He Yuzhu, don't try to twist things here. If you have no evidence, you have to come with us!" The Captain glanced back at the Second Elder, who immediately quieted down, and then he took out handcuffs from behind him.

Looking at the arrogant Captain, He Yuzhu fell silent.

A great man cannot be without power for a single day; the ancients did not deceive me.

Looking at the beasts in the courtyard, He Yuzhu muttered to himself: If one day power is in my hands, I shall kill all the dogs in the world who have betrayed me!

Looking at the imposing Captain, Qin Huairu, standing to the side, had her eyes light up, as if she had figured something out, and she actually started to smile.
