Chapter 435

Lin Shengli left Qin Huiru, just as he was about to walk away, Shazhu came out of Qin Huiru's home.

Seeing Lin Shengli, he couldn't help but stare.

However.

He quickly came to his senses, hurriedly walked up with a fawning smile, and said:

"Shengli, it's rare to see you—when did you come back?"

Lin Shengli laughed and said, "Shazhu, if I remember correctly, that apartment of yours should be mine by now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Huiru hurriedly asked:

"Shengli, what's going on?"

Shazhu kept giving Lin Shengli glances from the side, trying to signal him not to speak.

But Lin Shengli pretended not to understand.

He then gave a light smile and said calmly:

"More than a year ago, Shazhu borrowed money from me."

"He said that if he didn't repay it after a year, he would use his house as collateral for me."

Qin Huiru's face changed dramatically.

She looked at Shazhu, seeing him lower his head like a child who had done something wrong.

She then knew that Lin Shengli was telling the truth.

The main reason she chose to marry Shazhu was that she had taken a fancy to his house.

If Shazhu mortgaged his house to Lin Shengli, she would suffer a great loss.

Lin Shengli then said:

"At the time I didn't agree to it."

"We all live in the same courtyard, we've been neighbors for so many years, right?"

"If in the future he can't repay and I take his house, how will everyone view me?"

"But he insisted on using the house as collateral."

"Back then he solemnly promised that he would definitely repay me within a year."

"I trusted him too much, which is why I lent him the money."

"This is my savings of many years."

Qin Huiru: "Shengli, this is no small matter."

"Could you give us some time so we can raise the money for you?"

Lin Shengli: "Seeing that we all live in the same courtyard, I'm certainly willing."

"But you should ask Shazhu yourself."

"See how much money he borrowed."

Having said that, he stepped forward and walked toward the Zhongyuan.

Eldest Uncle glanced at Shazhu, shook his head, and followed Yi Dama over.

Not long after.

Qin Huiru's heart-rending howl came from afar:

"Shazhu!"

"I want to divorce you!"

Moreover, San Da Ye.

After Lin Shengli entered the Zhongyuan, the more he thought about it, the more his heart itched.

He always felt that Lin Shengli must have become a high official.

He originally wanted to go to Eldest Uncle's house to ask Eldest Uncle.

However.

Upon second thought.

He still decided to first go ask the two people who had come back with Lin Shengli.

He decided to act on it.

He quickly walked out of the Siheyuan.

At the gate, he saw the two people Lin Shengli had brought standing there.

He hurriedly squeezed out a smile and walked up, saying:

"Hey, you two young fellows, why are you standing here?"

The two bodyguards said nothing, not even glancing at him.

He felt a bit depressed and said, "I really am Shengli's Eldest Uncle."

"If you dare to slight me, be careful—I'll tell him."

"Let him punish me, then—"

The two bodyguards exchanged a glance and still said nothing.

"Fine, if you won't answer this question, then you won't answer."

"Then I'll ask you: has Shengli become a high official?"

One of the bodyguards, expressionless, said, "Eldest Uncle, don't ask so much—I won't say anything."

The other bodyguard: "Right, if I spoke, I'd be breaking discipline."

San Da Ye became annoyed—how could these two be so impervious to persuasion?

He rolled his eyes and suddenly shouted:

"It's over, we're doomed."

"You've already said it, you've already violated discipline."

The bodyguard who spoke first frowned and said:

"What did we say?"

"We didn't mention Major Lin's position."

San Da Ye exclaimed in shock: "What? Major?"

"Shengli joined the army?"

Bodyguard: "Uncle, don't ask so many questions."

"I can only tell you, the Chief has spoken: Major Lin is the most important treasure of the entire army and even the whole country."

"You just need to remember this."

San Da Ye's face was full of shock: "Really, really?"

"He, he's just an engineer?"

The two bodyguards, upon hearing that, stopped paying attention to him and walked to the side.

He glanced at them and muttered under his breath:

"Could it be that Shengli has been developing new weapons all these years..."

Just then, a male voice suddenly came from afar:

"San Da Ye, what are you talking about?"

San Da Ye jumped in surprise, turned his head, and saw Lin Shengli and Eldest Uncle and his wife standing behind him.

"Sheng, Shengli, you, I, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything."

Eldest Uncle chuckled: "No, San Da Ye, why has your complexion changed?"

"Is there anywhere you feel unwell?"
