Chapter 353

Sihe Academy

He Family

Sitting in the empty room, He Yushui wiped away tears helplessly.

Why was her own brother so incapable of putting anyone at ease!

Not long ago, he was suspended for stealing!

Now, he was in jail for beating someone!

Was there something wrong with his brain?

Or had he offended some deity?

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A rapid knocking on the door suddenly rang out.

He Yushui got up to open the door and saw the old face of Yi Zhonghai.

"Yushui, the Eldest Uncle wants to talk to you about your brother's situation."

Without waiting for He Yushui to invite him, Yi Zhonghai walked into the room, talking to himself.

"Yushui! If we talk about this matter, it's also because the Eldest Uncle is useless."

"If it weren't for the fact that I have no prestige left in the courtyard and couldn't suppress that black-hearted beast Cao Weiguo."

"Xu Damao wouldn't have been bewitched by Cao Weiguo!"

"And your brother wouldn't have been taken away by the police station!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed with a face full of shame; upon hearing this, He Yushui frowned slightly.

She was not stupid!

Nor was she someone who didn't understand reason!

Yi Zhonghai's very first words made her feel repulsed.

Her own brother had been taken away by the police station; naturally, she was sad and anxious.

But she also knew that her brother was arrested because he had beaten someone and caused injury.

If he hadn't broken the law, why would the police station arrest him?

Yet, as soon as Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth, he blamed everything on Cao Weiguo.

This was clearly an attempt to stir up trouble!

He Yushui was no longer a child, and she had received an education.

With the growth of her age and experience, she became increasingly annoyed by the messy affairs in the courtyard.

She had always lived in the school dormitory and rarely came home, precisely because she didn't want to be affected by the messy affairs in the courtyard.

He Yushui did not respond, but pleaded with tears streaming down her face:

"Eldest Uncle, you are the elder my brother trusts the most; you must help him."

He Yushui did not echo his sentiments, which made Yi Zhonghai somewhat unhappy.

But as a veteran hypocrite, Yi Zhonghai naturally would not show it.

He sat on a chair and said with a heavy expression:

"I went to the police station to inquire; if Xu Damao hadn't reported the case."

"Shazhu beating Xu Damao would just be an insignificant trifle."

"But because of Cao Weiguo's malicious instigation."

"Xu Damao escalated the matter to the police station."

"A trivial matter became a major issue once it reached the court."

"I tried my best to explain, but the police station just wouldn't listen."

"Unable to resist my bitter pleading, the comrades at the police station told me."

"If Xu Damao is willing to issue a letter of understanding, even if your brother cannot be released on the spot, he could still obtain a sentence reduction."

"But you also know that Xu Damao and your brother are mortal enemies."

"Plus, with Cao Weiguo fanning the flames on the side, how could Xu Damao possibly issue a letter of understanding?"

"Sigh! It's all my fault, this Eldest Uncle is useless."

"I couldn't suppress that disaster Cao Weiguo, otherwise your brother wouldn't be in such a miserable state."

After listening, He Yushui looked at Yi Zhonghai with red-rimmed eyes: "Eldest Uncle, I will go and beg Xu Damao right now."

Watching He Yushui's sincere and earnest appearance, Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction:

"Yushui, you are a good child who knows how to be grateful."

"Your brother didn't dote on you in vain."

"But it's too late now; you'd better wait until tomorrow to go find Xu Damao."

"Don't annoy Xu Damao in the middle of the night, and don't alert Cao Weiguo."

"If Cao Weiguo fans the flames beside Xu Damao at that time, this matter will be even harder to handle."

Yi Zhonghai kept emphasizing that Cao Weiguo was fanning the flames; this was clearly an attempt to guide He Yushui to resent Cao Weiguo.

"Eldest Uncle, you've gone to great trouble."

"Tomorrow, I will go and beg Xu Damao; once Xu Damao issues the letter of understanding, I will settle the score with Cao Weiguo."

"To actually cause my brother to be jailed, this Cao Weiguo is too excessive!"

He Yushui pretended to be full of anger, which made Yi Zhonghai very satisfied:

"Isn't that so!"

"When has such a thing ever happened in our courtyard before?"

"Matters in the courtyard have always been resolved within the courtyard."

"We are all neighbors, there is absolutely no need to take this outside."

"Everyone sees each other every day; how could someone do things so ruthlessly?"

"But this Cao Weiguo is just a cold-blooded, black-hearted disaster!"

"He doesn't have a shred of human warmth; he treats his neighbors like enemies."

"Your brother is just because he doesn't get along with him."

"As a result, as soon as he caught an opportunity, Cao Weiguo caused your brother to be jailed."

"This person, if placed in ancient times, would be Qin Hui, a treacherous villain!"

"However, Yushui, don't go and provoke Cao Weiguo right now."

"The most urgent thing for us is to help your brother come home early."

Yi Zhonghai was still counting on Shazhu to support him in his old age, so he had to care about Shazhu being inside.

Otherwise, all his previous investments would go down the drain.

But Yi Zhonghai also knew clearly that he didn't have that much ability.

To rescue Shazhu, he still needed to utilize more manpower.

He Yushui was one of them.

She was Shazhu's own sister; it was impossible for her not to care about Shazhu.

At the same time, he could also provoke her resentment toward Cao Weiguo.

Cao Weiguo caused her own brother to be jailed.

Could she not resent Cao Weiguo, could she not cause trouble for Cao Weiguo?

Cao Weiguo, oh Cao Weiguo!

I will make you surrounded by enemies!

I will make you lose your reputation!

After giving He Yushui a few instructions, Yi Zhonghai left the He family with his hands behind his back.

Under the bright moonlight, a sinister cold smile appeared on Yi Zhonghai's face.

It was as if he could already see He Yushui and Cao Weiguo fighting until everything was in chaos.

Thinking of Cao Weiguo's frazzled appearance, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Fighting with me?

Cao Weiguo, you little rabbit, you're still a bit too green!

Back Courtyard

Cao Weiguo was reading the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in his study, but his ears were pricked up from time to time to listen. ===== CHAPTER 355 =====
