Sun Chao said excitedly: "Brother Shan is right, as long as I can make money, I'll be his grandson."

Zhao Yuanchao said with contempt: "Didn't you already recognize him as your grandfather long ago."

Sun Chao said with a smirk of shame: "Brother Shan, Brother Yuanchao, I know I shouldn't have betrayed you, but I am the only seedling in my family. If I die, my family's incense will be broken."

Liu Shan said: "Yuanchao, that matter has already turned the page. Everyone is a brother. Besides, even if Sun Chao didn't say it, I would have confessed truthfully."

At that situation, Sun Chao's fear of death was human nature.

Liu Shan admitted he didn't have the courage to face death without fear.

Zhao Yuanchao stared coldly at Sun Chao: "You betraying me and Liu Shan can turn the page, but that person is different. You better be careful yourself."

Although Cao Weiguo never revealed his identity, his skills and financial resources made the three of them fear him from the bottom of their hearts.

Just this pile of supplies in front of them was beyond their imagination.

Just this pile of supplies in front of them could make them disappear.

They were "bandits" to begin with, and knew very well the dangers in the dark.

There is never a shortage of people in this world who will sell their lives for money!

That person doesn't even need to come forward, he only needs to spend money to make them disappear.

Their background has been exposed, and it can be said that their lives are in someone else's hands.

Sihe Academy

Cao Weiguo had just arrived at the gate of the courtyard when an aunt shouted anxiously.

"Weiguo, go home and see! Your family's chickens are lost!"

"Aunt Xie! I'll go back now!"

A fire rose in his heart instantly, and Cao Weiguo walked home with a gloomy face.

At this time, the backyard was full of residents, and the three uncles were naturally present.

"Weiguo, our family's chickens were stolen!"

Seeing Cao Weiguo return, Song Yulan ran over with teary eyes.

Those two big hens were her treasures for laying eggs.

Cao Weiguo comforted hurriedly: "Wife, don't worry, tell me what happened?"

Song Yulan wiped her tears as she recounted the situation, and Cao Weiguo's expression also turned ugly.

Just in the time it took to buy vegetables, two chickens were gone.

Clearly, someone was watching their family, stealing chickens with premeditation!

The Second Uncle said seriously: "We haven't even lost a needle or thread in our courtyard on weekdays, but now two big hens are lost. This is a big deal. A thief has appeared in our courtyard, a big thief. We must investigate strictly!"

The Third Uncle said: "Two big egg-laying hens, daring to steal such precious things. If we don't catch that thief, our courtyard won't be peaceful in the future."

"Yes! Must investigate strictly!"

"Must catch that thief!"

Concerning their own interests, the residents in the courtyard couldn't sit still either.

Today they can steal Cao Weiguo's family's chickens, tomorrow they can steal everyone's money.

They have to go to work during the day, and once they go out, they are gone for a day, all afraid of being visited by a thief at home.

Jia Zhangshi curled her lips: "How can you be sure the chickens were stolen? Maybe they ran away themselves."

Song Yulan said anxiously, "The door to the chicken coop was tied with wire; I specifically checked it when I left, so it's impossible for the chickens to have run out."

Cao Weiguo took Song Yulan's hand: "Wife, you stay home and watch the scene, I'm going to the police station to report the crime."

"Cannot report the case!"

Hearing Cao Weiguo was going to report the case, Jia Zhangshi screamed as if pricked by a needle.

The Eldest Uncle advised: "Weiguo, family ugliness should not be spread. We can solve the courtyard's affairs ourselves. Reporting the case is making a mountain out of a molehill."

Cao Weiguo sneered: "Making a mountain out of a molehill? Eldest Uncle, you are really open-minded. Two chickens were stolen, and this is a small matter in your eyes?"

The Eldest Uncle sighed: "Weiguo, although chickens are precious, this concerns the reputation of the courtyard. If it gets out and spreads, how will people outside look at our courtyard in the future."

After this sentence was said, the residents also fell silent.

If it becomes known outside that a thief appeared in the courtyard, the reputation of the entire courtyard will be affected.

I'm afraid that in the future, matchmakers won't even want to come to the door, after all, no one wants to live in the same courtyard as a thief.

Cao Weiguo looked at the Eldest Uncle with sharp eyes: "Eldest Uncle, then what do you mean? Should this matter just be forgotten?"

The Eldest Uncle said: "Of course it won't be forgotten, we will definitely investigate with all our strength."

"Investigate!"

Cao Weiguo sneered: "Eldest Uncle, if you want to cover it up, then catch the thief now, otherwise I will definitely report the case."

"You!"

The Eldest Uncle said with an ugly face: "People come and go in the courtyard, this thief is likely from outside. Can I grow wings and fly out to find the thief?"

Jia Zhangshi said hurriedly: "Yes, this thief must be from outside, our courtyard has never had a thief."

Cao Weiguo mocked: "Use your brain when you speak. Not long ago, someone went to my house to steal fish, have you forgotten so soon?"

Jia Zhangshi was anxious: "Cao Weiguo, how can a big man be so narrow-minded, remembering a small matter until now? Besides, didn't my family pay you money!"

Thinking of the 10 yuan paid to Cao Weiguo, Jia Zhangshi hated it to the point of gnashing her teeth.

Although the money was paid by Shazhu, Jia Zhangshi always thought that 10 yuan was hers.

Cao Weiguo stared at Jia Zhangshi and suspected: "Jia Zhangshi, from the moment I mentioned reporting the case, you have been obstructing it. Do you have a ghost in your heart?"

"Yes!"

"Jia Zhangshi's behavior is very abnormal!"

"She was shouting so anxiously just now!"

"Could it be that she stole the chickens!"

"Very likely!"

Immediately, the residents also looked at Jia Zhangshi suspiciously.

Listening to the residents' suspicions and discussions, Jia Zhangshi shouted with a ferocious expression:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Wronging an old woman like me, aren't you afraid of falling into the tongue-pulling hell." ===== CHAPTER 124 =====
