The First Master said with a straight face: \"Sha Zhuzi, don't you go acting foolish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Xu Xu Damao had no evidence, it was nine-to-one that Seeing Shazhu had done it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The First Master lectured Seeing Shazhu, while Qin Qin Huairu went home, filled with worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo pedaled his bicycle toward Beihai Park.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He met with Liu Shan at the Yinsheng Pavilion as agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Big Brother, here are the accounts and the payment for the goods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Shan respectfully handed a piece of paper and a stack of money to Cao Cao Weiguo:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It’s 520 Brother Yuan in total.
