Chapter 1060

After making up his mind, Shazhu left his room to scout the situation, preparing to find an opportunity to do something big.

It was just his bad luck to run into Cao Weiguo and his wife returning to the courtyard, which scared him into running back to his room immediately.

Lying on the bed, feeling empty, lonely, and cold.

Thinking of Cao Weiguo and Song Yulan being inseparable.

Thinking of Xu Damao remarrying He Wenjie.

Thinking of himself alone in an empty room.

Shazhu felt a sense of desolation in his heart.

Unconsciously, he blamed the whole thing on the Third Uncle.

It was all because the Third Uncle took his things and didn't do the job.

Otherwise, he would have been happily married to Teacher Ran too!

Waiting until the middle of the night, Shazhu got out of bed with his eyes shining.

Picking up the tools he had prepared on the table, he tiptoed out the door.

It was already one o'clock in the morning, and the courtyard was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Shazhu slipped quietly into the front courtyard and gently picked up the Third Uncle's bicycle.

Shazhu had plenty of strength, and when he did bad things, he was both rough and careful.

Carrying the bicycle with light steps, he moved it out of the courtyard bit by bit.

In the deep, quiet alley, by the cold moonlight, Shazhu skillfully removed the front wheel of the bicycle.

Then he threw the bicycle against the wall at the main gate and hid the wheel in a nearby small grove, planning to find a place further away to sell it tomorrow, so he could take his revenge without anyone knowing, not only recovering his losses but also venting the anger in his chest.

This wasn't him being wicked; it was really that the Third Uncle's way of doing things was dishonest.

Taking gifts without doing the job—what kind of humanity is that? He deserved to be taught a lesson!

Thinking of the Third Uncle's heartbroken face when he discovered the front wheel was missing, Shazhu was so happy he almost laughed out loud like a pig.

After hiding the wheel, Shazhu returned to his room happily to sleep.

The next morning, the courtyard was in an uproar.

The Third Uncle held his keys and slapped his thighs, shouting: "Everyone, come quickly! The courtyard has been robbed again! My bicycle is gone!"

Hearing the Third Uncle's shouts, the neighbors ran over one after another.

The Third Uncle pointed to the place where the bicycle was parked: "Everyone, take a look! My bicycle was always kept here, but when I got up this morning, I suddenly found it gone. You should all check your own things and see if you've lost anything."

"What's going on! Things are being stolen in the courtyard every few days!"

"We have to lock the main gate from now on!"

"Things can't be left outside anymore!"

"This damn thief, not even letting us have a peaceful New Year."

"Third Uncle, you should go report it to the police quickly; losing a bicycle is no small matter."

The neighbors were talking all at once, and the Third Uncle hurried out, preparing to report the crime.

Who would have thought that as soon as he stepped out the gate, he turned his head and saw his beloved bicycle.

"Oh! My bicycle!"

"Who is it! Who is so wicked to steal my wheel!"

The Third Uncle picked up the bicycle, his heart aching as if stabbed by a knife.

The neighbors in the courtyard ran out to see, and good heavens, this thief was quite interesting.

They had already stolen the bicycle, but instead of taking it, they only stole one wheel?

Was this thief a fool?

At this moment, Shazhu walked out from inside: "What's going on? Why are you all gathered here early in the morning watching the commotion?"

Yan Jiecheng cursed: "I don't know which damn thief stole the wheel from my family's bicycle. This kind of low-life will get their retribution sooner or later; may they have pus on the soles of their feet, sores on the top of their heads, and die without descendants!"

Shazhu said with an ugly expression: "Yan Jiecheng, your mouth is vicious enough. Is one wheel worth all that? Pus on the soles of the feet is one thing, but dying without descendants is a bit too much, isn't it?"

Yan Jiecheng said viciously: "Too much? Not at all! That's light! They stole one wheel from my family; if I catch them, I'll remove one of their legs too!"

Shazhu said: "Is this what a teacher's child is like? Vicious enough! Fine! You guys keep looking for the wheel, I have to go to work."

Leaving the alley, Shazhu took out the hidden wheel and hurried to the street outside Xizhi Sect, finding a repair shop to sell the wheel.

Taking the money to the supply and marketing cooperative, he bought a box of cheap cigarettes and started smoking, feeling refreshed.

When Cao Weiguo arrived at the front courtyard, the Third Uncle had already sent Yan Jiecheng to the police station to report the crime.

The Third Uncle also pulled Cao Weiguo aside to grumble: "Weiguo! You are the Deputy Director of the rolling mill. When you get to the factory, please say a word to the Security Section and ask them to help catch that damn thief and find my wheel."

Cao Weiguo said: "Fire prevention and theft prevention are everyone's responsibility. Third Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely tell the Security Section about this."

The Third Uncle beat his chest and stamped his feet: "That damn thief! Why couldn't they steal something else? They stole my wheel, that's my lifeline."

Cao Weiguo thought for a moment, pulled the Third Uncle aside, and whispered mysteriously: "Third Uncle, let me tell you something. This stays between us; you know it, but don't tell anyone else. It's like this: when I returned to the courtyard last night, it was already past nine o'clock. I saw Shazhu in the front courtyard looking for something, and when he saw me, he didn't even say hello and ran away in a flash. I'm not saying Shazhu stole your bicycle, I'm just telling you about this."

"Shazhu!"

The Third Uncle's eyes widened immediately: "Weiguo! You've given me a hint! It's ten to one that Shazhu did it! You don't know! This Shazhu entrusted me to introduce him to Teacher Ran, but it just happened to be the winter break, and I couldn't see Teacher Ran. But this Shazhu is unreasonable; he chased me every day asking about it, thinking I didn't do the job for him. It must be that he held a grudge and stole my wheel to get back at me! This stubborn fool is going to be the death of me!"

Cao Weiguo said: "Third Uncle, we can't jump to conclusions. I suggest you go around to the repair stalls more often. When a thief steals a wheel, they either use it themselves or sell it. If you're lucky enough to find the wheel at a repair stall, you can follow the trail to find the thief. When the time comes, with the person and the stolen goods caught, you can get justice."

The Third Uncle clapped his hands and said: "That's why they say leaders are leaders; there's really something in that head of yours. I'm going out right now; even if I have to search all of Beijing, I must find my wheel and teach that thief a lesson!" ===== CHAPTER 1062 =====

The Third Uncle clapped his hands and said: "If I don't say that being a leader is being a leader, there really is something in that head. I'm going out right now, and even if I have to search all of Sijiucheng, I must find my bicycle wheel and teach that thief a harsh lesson!"
