Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 419 Liu Haizhong is unyielding

Sha Zhu waited outside for a while, and seeing no movement inside, he became more and more anxious. "No, I have to go see what they are doing." Sha Zhu thought to himself, and quietly approached the yard. He looked inside through the crack in the door, and saw some shabby furniture and some debris that looked like waste in the yard. Liu Haizhong and the man were talking in low voices around a pile of things, with expressions on their faces sometimes excited and sometimes serious.

Sha Zhu was confused and was about to get closer to listen more clearly when he slipped and made a noise. "Who?" Liu Haizhong's voice came from the yard. Sha Zhu was startled and realized he was discovered, so he turned around and ran away.

Liu Haizhong opened the door and saw Sha Zhu's back as he walked away. His face turned very ugly. "Why did Sha Zhu follow me? This is trouble!" Liu Haizhong frowned and complained in his heart. He didn't know how much Sha Zhu had seen, nor did he know how to deal with the trouble that might arise next.

Sha Zhu ran all the way back to the courtyard, his heart still pounding, he was scared that he was almost discovered, and he was curious and confused about Liu Haizhong's mysterious behavior. "What secrets are hidden in that courtyard? What the hell is Liu Haizhong doing?" Sha Zhu sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, panting and thinking to himself.

Not long after, Liu Haizhong also hurried back to the courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Sha Zhu sitting there, staring at him unkindly. Liu Haizhong's heart tightened, but he still pretended to be calm and walked over, pretending to be calm and asked: "Sha Zhu, what's wrong with you? Why are you running?"

Sha Zhu snorted coldly, stood up and said, "Liu Haizhong, stop playing dumb with me! What are you doing in that small courtyard at the edge of the city? You're sneaking around like that, are you doing something shameful?"

Liu Haizhong's face changed slightly, but soon returned to normal. He smiled and said, "Shazhu, you misunderstood. I just went to see a friend. It's nothing serious."

"Friends? What friends? I think you are lying!" Sha Zhu didn't believe Liu Haizhong's words at all and continued to ask, "If you don't tell me the truth, I will tell this to everyone in the hospital and let everyone judge for themselves."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he felt a little anxious. He knew that Sha Zhu was a straightforward person. If this matter really became known to the whole hospital, it would be troublesome. So he quickly pulled Sha Zhu's arm and said, "Sha Zhu, don't worry. I will tell you the truth, but you have to promise me not to tell anyone else."

Sha Zhu shook off his hand from his bangs and said, "That depends on whether what you said is true."

Liu Haizhong hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I've been dealing with some old furniture and scraps lately. I was thinking of buying these things back, repairing them, and then reselling them to make a little profit. But if the factory knew about this, they might say I was not doing my job properly, so I kept it a secret from everyone."

Sha Zhu was a little surprised when he heard this: "Is that all? Why don't you do it openly?"

Liu Haizhong smiled bitterly and said, "You know, it's not easy to run a small business these days. I just want to make more money to support my family. If the factory finds out, I might even lose my job. Shazhu, just pretend you didn't see this, okay?"

Sha Zhu looked at Liu Haizhong's pleading face and felt a little sorry. Although he liked to meddle in other people's business, he was not unreasonable. "Okay, I'll pretend I didn't see it this time. But you have to be more careful in the future and don't do these sneaky things again. If I find you doing something illegal, I won't let you go."

Liu Haizhong nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Shazhu. I just want to make a little money. I won't do anything illegal. Thank you!"

Since then, Liu Haizhong still went out early and came back late, but Sha Zhu never followed him again. Liu Haizhong also became more cautious, fearing that others would discover his small business. This incident was like a small episode in the courtyard, and as time went by, it was gradually forgotten by people.

Since being followed by Sha Zhu, Liu Hai had been feeling angry and couldn't swallow it. He felt that Sha Zhu was deliberately trying to make him unhappy and lose face in front of everyone, so he held a grudge and thought about finding a chance to get revenge.

On this day, the factory bell rang, and the workers rushed to the canteen to eat lunch. As usual, Sha Zhu hummed a little tune, staggered into the canteen, and lined up behind the line to get lunch.

When Liu Haizhong saw Sha Zhu, a sly light flashed in his eyes. He deliberately stood in line behind Sha Zhu, and when Sha Zhu got his meal, just as he was about to turn around and leave, Liu Haizhong suddenly shouted, "Sha Zhu, don't leave yet! Look at what you got? Why is there a fly in the dish!"

His shout immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him. The other workers in the cafeteria stopped what they were doing and looked over here.

When Sha Zhu heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He looked down at his lunch box and saw that there was indeed a black thing in the food, which looked like a fly. He was stunned and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"This...how is this possible? I didn't see it when I was getting my food." Sha Zhu stuttered, with a trace of panic on his face.

Liu Haizhong was not relenting and continued to shout, "Didn't you see? You cooked this meal yourself. Now that this has happened, you have to give everyone an explanation!"

The workers around began to talk about it, some showed disgusted expressions, and some murmured quietly. The staff of the cafeteria also hurried over, and when they saw this situation, their faces turned very ugly.

"What's going on? Our cafeteria has always been very careful about hygiene, so how come there are flies?" said the cafeteria chef with a frown.

Liu Haizhong sneered and said, "Hmph, who knows? Maybe someone did it on purpose." As he spoke, he glanced at Sha Zhu, the meaning was self-evident.

Sha Zhu now understood completely that Liu Haizhong was deliberately picking a fight. He was furious, but he still tried hard not to get angry.

"Liu Haizhong, don't go too far! You say I did it on purpose, what evidence do you have?" Sha Zhu stared at Liu Haizhong and said loudly.

The two of them confronted each other in the cafeteria, and the atmosphere became very tense. The other workers were watching the excitement from the sidelines, and no one dared to step forward to mediate.

The chef in the cafeteria saw the situation becoming increasingly chaotic and quickly said, "Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing. We will investigate this matter thoroughly. Shazhu, put your rice here first and we'll make you another portion."
