Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Chapter 886 Yan Bugui goes to the Public Security Bureau

When Yan Jiekuang heard his father calling him, he was puzzled. He didn't know what he had done to make his father so anxious to find him. He walked over obediently and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Yan Bugui stared at Yan Jiekuang closely, his eyes full of suspicion, and asked: "Who did you tell about this? How come everyone in the courtyard knows about it now?" He suspected that his son had accidentally leaked the news.

Yan Jiekuang was confused by his father's question. He looked at Yan Bugui with a bewildered look on his face: "Dad, what are you talking about? How come I don't know anything?" He really didn't understand what his father was talking about.

Yan Bugui frowned and said in a stern tone: "Now everyone in the courtyard knows that the Liu and Jia families are going to occupy the house of the deaf old lady in the backyard. Tell me, have you told anyone else about this?" He stared at Yan Jiekuang, trying to find a clue from his son's expression.

After hearing what his father said, Yan Jiekuang finally understood. He stood there, thinking seriously for a while, trying to recall his whereabouts and the people he had come into contact with during this period. Afterwards, he looked at Yan Bugui and said sincerely: "Dad, I haven't told anyone about that matter. You don't know me yet. Even Liu Guangfu, I didn't mention it to him at all. How could anyone else know?" Yan Jiekuang was also puzzled. How did this news get out?

Yan Bugui looked at his son's sincere face, knowing that while his children might sometimes be calculating about small matters, they wouldn't lie about something as big as this. He waved his hand helplessly, saying, "Alright, go back and rest." Watching Yan Jiekuang walk away, he felt even more annoyed. How on earth had this news leaked out? He fell into deep thought, but he couldn't figure it out.

As soon as Yan Jiekuang left, Yan Bugui stood there, staring outward, his heart filled with confusion and resentment, wondering: Who leaked this information? Originally, Yan Bugui had planned to get the money and report the matter to the authorities tomorrow, so that no one could get their hands on the house again.

His brows knitted together, and the more he thought about it, the worse the situation seemed. Given the current situation, there was probably no hope of losing the house, and even the ability to keep the money he had earned was questionable. Yan Bugui grew increasingly angry as he thought about it; he didn't want the Jia and Liu families to get away with it. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and a thought flashed through his mind: If that's the case, why not call the police tomorrow and get the government involved? That way, when the entire courtyard meeting was held that evening, their plans could be completely ruined, saving them from asking him for money, which wouldn't be a good thing after all.

The more Yan Bugui pondered this idea, the more he thought it was brilliant. He seemed to have seen the helpless expressions of the Jia and Liu families, and he couldn't help but laugh triumphantly. His mood improved, and he no longer worried about who had spread the rumor. He hummed a little tune and went to bed.

The night passed in silence. The next morning, sunlight streamed through the cracks in the window. Gu Nan was preparing to go to work as usual. As soon as he stepped out of the house, he saw Yan Bugui looking flustered and acting suspiciously. This was too unusual. Gu Nan suddenly became suspicious. He checked the time and found that it was still early for work. He decided to follow him to find out what Yan Bugui was up to.

Yan Bugui hurriedly walked towards the Public Security Bureau. Seeing this, Gu Nan's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled secretly in his heart: It seems that Yan Bugui really did go to the police just as he expected. Now this matter is getting more interesting. Now that he knew about Yan Bugui's behavior, Gu Nan did not linger any longer and turned around to go to work. After all, for him, at present, all he had to do in the factory was to maintain production order and ensure that all work went smoothly.

When Yan Bugui came out of the Public Security Bureau, his face was filled with a smug smile, as if he had already won. He was full of joy thinking that he could deal with the Jia and Liu families tonight. Once this matter was over, he would have no worries at all.

In this way, the day passed quietly in the busyness. When it was almost time to get off work, Gu Nan thought that there might be a lot of things to deal with in the kitchen, so he decided to go and take a look. As soon as he walked into the kitchen, he saw Tiedan and others busy packing up. At this time, Zhong Yi, who had sharp eyes, saw Gu Nan and hurried forward and asked respectfully: "Master, why are you here? Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Gu Nan smiled gently, looked at Zhong Yi, and asked in a relaxed tone, "Zhong Yi, how is Tiedan doing in his studies lately? Has he been slacking off?"

Zhong Yi smiled upon hearing this, his tone tinged with approval, "Tiedan is a really quick learner. He grasps everything I teach him quickly and picks it up quickly. He's just too young now, and needs to hone his character. In a few years, he'll definitely be able to take on the responsibility and become a skilled hand in the kitchen."

Tiedan's face turned red as the two of them praised him one after another. He lowered his head in embarrassment and listened silently, not daring to say anything.

Seeing this, Gu Nan smiled and said to Zhong Yi, "This child is smart. When it's time to teach him strictly, teach him well and don't spoil him too much. Okay, it's time to get off work in the kitchen. Tiedan, come back with me."

Although Tiedan didn't know what Gu Nan wanted him to go back for, he nodded obediently and followed Gu Nan out. In his mind, Brother Gu Nan was always reliable, so he must have something serious to ask him.

The two walked on the way home, the setting sun stretching their shadows long. Tiedan couldn't help but look up at Gu Nan and asked softly: "Brother Gu Nan, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Gu Nan looked down at him, smiled, and rubbed his head. "You little brat, you're quite clever. Nothing can be hidden from you. Remember, when the whole courtyard holds a meeting later, do you know what to say?"

Then, Gu Nan briefly explained his plan to Tiedan, and specifically reminded him, "Just remember, when the time comes, find an opportunity to mention it, intentionally or unintentionally, that you saw Yan Bugui go to the Public Security Bureau. You don't have to say it too deliberately, just mention it briefly. Do you understand?"

Tiedan nodded seriously and patted his chest to assure, "Brother Gunan, don't worry, I'll remember it and do as you say. Let's go back quickly so as not to delay the meeting."

Gu Nan looked at his serious expression, smiled with satisfaction, took Tiedan's hand, and quickened his pace to go home.
