Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2536 Failed Attempt to Marry

Kim Je-cheon was very depressed.

I thought that the deaf old lady and Sha Zhu had a good relationship, and that by using the identity of the deaf old lady's grandson, I could ease the tension between us.

He used Sha Zhu to get in touch with He Yuzhu and then achieve his goal.

Back then, he used this tactic to win over the Jia family.

Who would have thought that his own father and grandmother would leave him with such a huge pitfall.

If Jin Qihao were alive, he would definitely question him and ask him if he could stop messing with him like this.

"Shazhu, I really don't know about what happened back then. I think it must be a coincidence."

"Do you think I'd believe that? Your dad cheated me out of my steamed buns, and then your grandma started spreading rumors about my nickname, 'Silly Zhu.'"

You say they didn't do it on purpose? Who can believe that?

Can you believe that?

Shazhu pointed at Mike.

Mike shook his head; he genuinely didn't believe such a coincidence could happen.

Seeing the glare from Kim Je-cheon, Mike quickly lowered his head.

Jin Jichuan argued, "Is it possible that my grandmother was just following what others were saying?"

Xu Damao said, "Stop making excuses. I saw what happened back then."

Jin Jichuan glanced at Shazhu and gave up on arguing: "Even so, it's still because my grandma likes you."

I heard from Yi Zhonghai that of all the women in the courtyard, my grandmother liked you the most.

Sha Zhu spat and said, "Her favorite dish is the one I make for her."

She, like Yi Zhonghai, treated me like a fool.

Having said all that, Jin Jichuan was utterly helpless. What a terrible plan had turned out like this.

He would never have imagined that the nickname "Silly Pillar" was actually related to Jin Qihao.

If he knew this, he would never reveal his true identity.

He Yuzhu was unaware of the courtyard house incident. After learning that relevant officials were following Sha Zhu, he no longer needed to concern himself with the aftermath.

After Mike left, Han Yue used the phone to report the situation in the hospital to his superiors.

His team leader was also shocked when he heard the news.

"You mean, Jin Qihao, might be a spy for the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics?"

"Yes. Jin Jichuan said he was a soldier, but Shazhu confirmed that he evacuated from Beijing at that time."

What else could this be but a spy?

The team leader frowned: "Even if he is a spy, there is no way to find out his true identity now."

So many years have passed, those documents are long gone.

Han Yue said, "I suspect that Jin Jichuan became a spy because of the path left by Jin Qihao back then."

It's possible that all of the Kim family's businesses were involved in espionage.

Upon hearing Han Yue's doubts, the team leader immediately thought of Jin Jichuan's information.

Although Kim Je-cheon acted discreetly, it was no secret at all in the face of the state apparatus.

The Kim family's businesses have many collaborations with China, with the most extensive collaborations being with the entertainment industry.

“I’ll have someone investigate. You continue to follow Sha Zhu. Don’t let them get suspicious.”

Han Yue said, "Don't worry. The only time you're smart about those people from the Jia family is when you're scheming against Sha Zhu. Otherwise, you're like an idiot."

They're still wary of me taking over the restaurant's management.

By the way, has my proposal been approved by the leadership?

Jin Jichuan seems to be getting anxious; he's been trying to find a way to contact He Yuzhu.

"That's not something you should be asking." The team leader hung up the phone, turned around, compiled Han Yue's report into documents, and handed them to the leader.

Mike drove towards the hotel.

"What a coincidence! The old man actually cheated Sha Zhu out of his money for steamed buns."

Because of the old man, Sha Zhu was treated as a fool his whole life.

What do we do next?

Jin Jichuan looked dejected: "After this incident, Shazhu's chances are slim."

"Should we think of other solutions?"

"What method?" Mike asked.

Jin Jichuan said, "First, we can't let He Yuzhu's girlfriend go. It would be best if we could win her over."

If all else fails, find a trustworthy person to infiltrate He Yuzhu's inner circle.

I refuse to believe that there are men in this world who don't like women.

If ordinary people won't work, then find movie stars.

“Then I need to know what type he likes.” Mike immediately identified the key to the problem.

Jin Jichuan pondered for a moment: "I will arrange for someone to investigate among your classmates and teachers."

As for Sha Zhu, you should instruct the Jia family not to have any conflicts with him and to maintain a good relationship with him.

If they don't behave, we'll make Jia Wutong drop out of school.

Mike said he would explain to the Jia family, and then suggested, "Why don't we try to ease the tension with Sha Zhu through Lou Xiao'e?"

Lou Xiao'e was a very respectful person to the old lady back then.

She paid for all the money to move the old lady's grave.

She gave birth to a son for Sha Zhu. If she were to propose it to Sha Zhu, he would probably agree.

Jin Jichuan sighed helplessly: "I had someone test her. She's ruthless too, she completely ignores Shazhu."

Lou Xiao'e is easily swayed by gentle persuasion but not by force. If you want him to intervene, it would be best to have Sha Zhu speak up himself.

"Go back and think of more solutions."

Mike was somewhat reluctant to accept that the same thing had happened to him again.

There was no other way; he was truly terrified of being swindled by the Jia family. The Jia family was a minefield of traps.

Who knows when another incident will occur that offends Sha Zhu.

"This is the hardest thing I've ever done."

Jin Jichuan thought to himself, this is probably the most difficult thing he has ever done.

It's far too complicated.

It's so complicated that even a deaf old woman who died decades ago has a lot of stains on her record that can't be cleared.

The two were preoccupied with their own thoughts and did not notice that someone had been following them all along.

Inside the courtyard, only Sha Zhu and Xu Damao remained in the house.

The two quietly discussed the matter of Kim Je-cheon.

Sha Zhu asked Xu Damao, "Tell me, was that thing really orchestrated by the deaf old lady?"

Xu Damao thought for a moment, but had no confidence at all: "It's hard to say."

This is such a coincidence.

Why would Jin Qihao, a spy who left Beijing, specifically use counterfeit money to swindle your steamed buns?

He cheated you out of your steamed buns, and then the deaf old lady started spreading your nickname.

It's hard to believe there's nothing wrong with it.

That's the point of contention.

The deaf elderly woman and her son's actions were such a coincidence.

"Then tell me, if I ask Xiao He, do you think he'll know?"

"You're crazy. How old is he? How could he know about things from over fifty years ago?"

Forget about it, just consider it a scheme by the deaf old lady.

Anyway, that old lady wasn't a good person either. Xu Damao gave his final answer.

Thinking about what the deaf old lady did, Sha Zhu didn't feel that the deaf old lady was wronged.

The reason he was deceived by Yi Zhonghai was that the deaf old lady put in more effort than Qin Huairu.

If it weren't for the deaf old lady constantly mediating between Yi Zhonghai and Yi Zhonghai, he would have fallen out with Yi Zhonghai long ago.

Whenever he had a disagreement with Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady would appear, tell him how good Yi Zhonghai was, and advise him to listen to Yi Zhonghai.

He wouldn't listen, so the deaf old lady kept nagging him every day.

Gradually, he got used to listening to Yi Zhonghai. It wasn't that what Yi Zhonghai said was particularly correct, but rather that he was afraid of the deaf old lady's nagging.

“You’re right, the deaf old lady is indeed not a good person. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have listened to Yi Zhonghai.”

Xu Damao laughed and said, "In this respect, you can't compare to me. I saw long ago that the deaf old lady was no good."

Sha Zhu curled his lip, not believing Xu Damao's words at all. (End of Chapter)
