Chapter 161 Knowing everything

Whenever Li Xiangqian thought of Jia Dongxu, he would always feel angry and helpless. He wanted to erase this person from his life, but he could do nothing. After all, you can't choose your neighbors, let alone your childhood friends.

However, despite the fact that Jia Dongxu's existence brought him a lot of trouble, Li Xiangqian did not give up. On the contrary, he strengthened his belief and hoped to change the fate of himself and his family through his own efforts and struggles, so that the people in the courtyard could live a better life.

Although the courtyard is facing many difficulties, they are not fighting alone. In addition to Li Xiangqian leading everyone to work together, the residents of the courtyard are also kind-hearted, helping each other and overcoming difficulties together. However, in difficult situations, there will always be some people who choose to do whatever it takes and take improper actions for their own selfish interests.

One morning, Li Xiangqian discovered something unusual while patrolling the yard. He saw that some vegetables in the vegetable garden had been stolen. Apparently, someone had sneaked in at night and stolen the food they had worked so hard to grow.

Li Xiangqian was shocked and realized that someone must be behind this. He decided to investigate carefully to find out who was behind it and not let them destroy the hard work of the residents of the Siheyuan.

So Li Xiangqian began a secret investigation. He observed the residents of the courtyard and paid close attention to their words and deeds. Although he was reluctant to suspect anyone, he had to remain vigilant in order to safeguard everyone's interests.

During the investigation, Li Xiangqian found some clues. He noticed that a young man named Bang Geng had been behaving strangely in the past few days. He was idle during the day and often did not return home at night. Moreover, his family was not rich and did not have enough income to support his life. These signs made Li Xiangqian suspicious of him.

Li Xiangqian decided to talk to other residents to see if they had similar observations and findings. After communicating, he found that others were also suspicious of Banggeng's behavior and believed that he might be the mastermind.

Faced with this situation, Li Xiangqian decided to take action. He found Banggeng and had a conversation with him in the name of inquiry.

"Banggeng, have you noticed anything unusual recently?" Li Xiangqian asked tentatively.

Banggeng looked a little nervous after hearing this. He stammered, "No, no, I have always been honest."

Li Xiangqian did not expose him directly, but continued to ask: "What do you think of our current situation? Is there anything that can be improved?"

Banggeng shook his head and lowered his head, as if thinking. After a moment, he whispered, "Maybe it's because there's not enough food that everyone is in this situation."

Li Xiangqian's heart moved, he felt that there was something wrong with Banggeng's words. He decided to continue observing to see if he could find more evidence to prove his guess.

A few days later, late at night, Li Xiangqian secretly followed Banggeng's movements. Sure enough, in the middle of the night, he saw Banggeng sneak into the vegetable field and start stealing vegetables.

Li Xiangqian was furious and decided to stop Banggeng's behavior immediately. He walked up to him and said coldly, "Banggeng, what are you doing?"

Bang Geng was startled, and he turned around and tried to run away, but was grabbed by Li Xiangqian. He said dejectedly: "Brother Xiangqian, I know I was wrong. My family is really in a difficult situation. I... I really can't bear it anymore."

Li Xiangqian looked at Banggeng, feeling angry and distressed. He knew that although the young man had made a mistake, he also had his own reasons behind his behavior. He decided not to pursue the matter and chose to give him a chance to correct his mistakes.

"Bang Geng, I won't tell anyone else. But you must stop your behavior immediately. Tomorrow I will discuss a solution with everyone to help you and your family overcome the difficulties." Li Xiangqian said in a firm tone.

After hearing this, Banggeng's eyes welled up with tears. He whispered, "Brother Xiangqian, thank you. I will definitely change my ways."

Li Xiangqian is not a person who trusts others easily, especially when it comes to friends he values. Therefore, when he began to doubt Xu Damao's intentions towards Qin Huairu, he was filled with uneasiness and doubt.

One day, Li Xiangqian accidentally witnessed Xu Damao and Qin Huairu talking in a cafe. He was just passing by, but he inadvertently heard their conversation.

"Huai Ru, you have to know that this opportunity is not available to everyone." Xu Damao's voice sounded full of temptation. "As long as you are willing, I can arrange a high-paying job for you so that you don't have to worry about your life anymore."

Qin Huairu was a little hesitant after hearing what Xu Damao said. She knew that Xu Damao was a powerful man, and his words might not be groundless. But she was not sure whether such an opportunity was worth pursuing. After all, although her current job was ordinary, it was obtained through her own efforts.

"Xu Damao, thank you for your kindness, but I still think my current job is more meaningful to me." Qin Huairu smiled and rejected his proposal, "I am not a person who only pursues money and status. I value my heart and values ​​more."

Li Xiangqian was moved when he heard this. He knew that Qin Huairu was a woman with firm beliefs and would not be shaken by the temptations of the outside world. But at the same time, he also realized that the appearance of Xu Damao might cause some troubles to Qin Huairu, and he was worried that she would be influenced by him and become hesitant and confused.

Li Xiangqian decided to secretly monitor Xu Damao's actions to ensure that he would not cause any harm to Qin Huairu. He did not want to see his friend being deceived or used, and he was willing to pay any price for it.

A few days later, Li Xiangqian accidentally learned about some of Xu Damao's illegal behavior. It turned out that he was not an honest businessman, but a person who colluded with evil forces and was suspected of participating in illegal transactions. He used his power to oppress the people and seek personal gain, and even dared to covet a kind girl like Qin Huairu.

Li Xiangqian was filled with anger and indignation. He decided to stop Xu Damao's conspiracy and protect Qin Huairu from any harm. He knew that although it was not easy to face such a powerful opponent, he would not back down and would not let his friends get hurt.

Li Xiangqian knew Xu Damao's conspiracy and was determined to expose his true face and protect Qin Huairu from harm. However, the road to justice is often full of twists and turns and difficulties, and he did not expect that he would be deceived by another person.
