Chapter 1081 He Has It Under Control
"You...what do you want?" Xu Damao's voice trembled a little.
He Yudong smiled. He knew that Xu Damao had been completely controlled by him. "It's very simple. Just do as I say. I will pretend that I have never seen these two photos."
Xu Damao gritted his teeth and finally gave in. "Okay, I promise you!"
He Yudong patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said, "That's right, happy cooperation!"
Looking at He Yudong's departing back, Xu Damao's eyes were filled with resentment. He swore that one day, he would make He Yudong pay the price!
After leaving the cinema, He Yudong did not return to the courtyard immediately. He knew that things were not over yet, and he needed to find a place to hide for a while.
He came to a small hotel, checked into a room, and then lay on the bed, thinking carefully about his next plan.
He knew that this incident was just the beginning. He had already formed a feud with Liu Haizhong and the director of the subdistrict office, and the days ahead would definitely not be peaceful.
However, he was not afraid. He believed that as long as he was smart and cautious enough, he would be able to escape danger.
......
The next morning, the neighborhood office was in an uproar. The director's photo was sent to the discipline inspection team, causing an uproar.
The disciplinary inspection team immediately launched an investigation and quickly found out the director’s violation of discipline.
The director was removed from his post and investigated, and Liu Haizhong was also implicated and demoted one level.
People in the courtyard were talking about it and guessing who had reported the director.
He Yudong hid in a small hotel, listening to the news on the radio, with a sneer on his face.
He knew that all this was thanks to Xu Damao.
However, he was not grateful to Xu Damao because he knew that Xu Damao helped him only for himself.
Now that the director and Liu Haizhong have both fallen, Xu Damao has lost his usefulness.
Next, it was Xu Damao's turn.
He Yudong took out the photo of Xu Damao and the widow and looked at it carefully.
This photo is his weapon against Xu Damao.
He believed that it would not be long before Xu Damao would suffer the consequences of his own actions.
......
A few days later, He Yudong returned to the courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a group of people gathered together, talking.
"I heard Xu Damao was arrested!"
"Is this true? What did he do wrong?"
"I heard that he committed adultery with a widow and was caught by Lou Xiao'e!"
"Serves him right! This brat should have been dealt with long ago!"
He Yudong listened to the discussion of the crowd, with a barely perceptible smile on his face.
He walked into the crowd and asked with pretended curiosity, "What happened?"
The third aunt said with a gossipy look on her face: "Yudong, you don't know, Xu Damao, that boy, actually dated the widow..."
The third aunt vividly recounted Xu Damao's "glorious deeds", which made everyone laugh.
He Yudong also smiled, but he was thinking about his next plan in his mind.
Xu Damao has fallen, who will be the next one?
He looked up at the sky, his eyes deep and unfathomable...
At this time, Qin Huairu came out of the house, and when she saw He Yudong, her face changed slightly, and then she walked over quickly...
He Yudong listened to the exaggerated story of the third aunt, feeling secretly happy, but pretending to be surprised on his face: "Is it true? Xu Damao is really too bold!"
"That's right!" The third aunt spitted, "Lou Xiao'e was really angry this time. I heard that she beat Xu Damao half to death!"
He Yudong sighed in mock sympathy: "Alas, Xu Damao has brought this upon himself!"
At this time, Qin Huairu walked over and looked at He Yudong with a complicated expression, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
He Yudong noticed Qin Huairu's gaze and his heart moved. He knew that Qin Huairu must have something to say to him.
He walked up to Qin Huairu and asked with concern: "Huairu, what's wrong? You don't look well."
Qin Huairu bit her lip and whispered, "Yudong, thank you."
He Yudong smiled slightly: "Why thank me? I didn't do anything."
"I know it was you who reported the director of the subdistrict office and Liu Haizhong." Qin Huairu raised her head and looked directly into He Yudong's eyes. "And Xu Damao, you did it too, right?"
He Yudong did not deny it, but just smiled faintly: "It's just a piece of cake."
Qin Huairu was silent for a moment, then said: "Yudong, you have changed."
"Changed?" He Yudong raised his eyebrows. "What changed?"
"You weren't so...cruel before." Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, but still said it.
He Yudong smiled: "Huai Ru, in this world, if you are not ruthless, you will be bullied. I don't want to be bullied anymore."
Qin Huairu sighed and said nothing more. She knew that He Yudong was right.
......
In the following days, the courtyard was peaceful. After Xu Damao was arrested, Lou Xiao'e also returned to her parents' home. With one less troublemaker in the courtyard, everyone's life became much more peaceful.
Apart from going to work, He Yudong stays at home to read and study. He understands that if he wants to survive in this era, he must constantly improve his abilities.
That night, He Yudong was reading a book when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
He opened the door and saw that it was Qin Huairu.
"Huai Ru, it's so late, is there anything wrong?" He Yudong asked.
Qin Huairu lowered her head and said shyly, "Yudong, I...I want to ask you for a favor."
"What's the matter? Just tell me."
Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I...I want you to help me...find a man."
He Yudong was stunned. He didn't expect Qin Huairu to make such a request.
"Huai Ru, you...what do you mean?"
Qin Huairu raised her head, her eyes reddened: "Yudong, after Jia Dongxu left, I was alone with three children, and life was too hard. I want to find a man to help me share some of the pressure."
He Yudong looked at Qin Huairu's haggard face, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that Qin Huairu's life was indeed not easy. After Jia Dongxu's death, she raised three children alone and had to take care of her mother-in-law. The burden of life was overwhelming her.
"Huai Ru, have you...thought it through?" He Yudong asked.
Qin Huairu bit her lip and nodded vigorously: "I've thought it through."
He Yudong was silent for a moment, then said: "Huai Ru, let me think about it."
Qin Huairu nodded, turned and left.
He Yudong closed the door, leaned against it, and took a deep breath.
Qin Huairu's request surprised him and made him feel embarrassed.
He sympathized with Qin Huairu's situation and wanted to help her, but he didn't know how.
If he helped Qin Huairu find a man, how should he define the relationship between him and Qin Huairu?
He didn't want to destroy the friendship between him and Qin Huairu, but he didn't want to see Qin Huairu continue to suffer.
He was in a dilemma.
......
The next day, He Yudong went to find Sha Zhu.
Sha Zhu is a well-known kind-hearted person in the courtyard and one of Qin Huairu's suitors.
He Yudong told Sha Zhu about Qin Huairu's request and asked for his opinion.
After hearing this, Sha Zhu agreed without saying a word.
"Yudong, don't worry, I will take good care of Huairu!" Sha Zhu patted his chest and promised.
He Yudong looked at Sha Zhu's excited expression, but felt a little uneasy.
He always felt that things would not be that simple.
......
A few days later, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu got married.
Everyone in the courtyard sent them their blessings, except He Yudong, who felt as if his heart was filled with mixed feelings and he couldn't tell what he was feeling.
He looked at the happy smile on Qin Huairu's face, feeling both happy and disappointed.
What made Qin Huairu happy was that she finally found a man she could rely on; what made her sad was that this man was not him.
After the wedding, He Yudong returned to his room, lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
He suddenly remembered the hesitation and struggle in Qin Huairu's eyes when she came to see him that night.
He began to doubt whether Qin Huairu's request was really what she wanted.
Or was she forced to make such a choice?
This thought, like a seed, took root and sprouted in his heart and could not be shaken off.
He decided to find out the truth of the matter.
The next morning, he arrived at Qin Huairu's door...
He Yudong looked at Qin Huairu coming over and sneered in his heart. This woman changes her expression faster than turning the pages of a book. She avoided him a few days ago, but now that she sees that he has become the "hero" of the courtyard, she immediately comes to him.
Qin Huairu walked up to He Yudong, forced a smile, and said, "Yudong, you're back."
He Yudong nodded lightly and said, "Yeah."
"Where have you been these days? Everyone is worried about you." Qin Huairu asked with concern.
"I went out to do something." He Yudong said perfunctorily.
"Oh." Qin Huairu responded, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. She secretly looked at He Yudong and found that he was more manly than before. In the past, He Yudong was just an honest and silly boy in her eyes, but now she felt that he exuded a dangerous aura that made her a little unpredictable.
"Yudong, it was you who did what happened to Xu Damao, right?" Qin Huairu asked tentatively.
He Yudong did not deny it, but just smiled and said, "It's his own fault."
Qin Huairu's heart trembled. She didn't expect He Yudong to admit it. She looked at He Yudong with complicated eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I will find a way to pay for Mrs. Jia Zhang's medical expenses." He Yudong suddenly said.
Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Really?"
"Yeah." He Yudong nodded.
"Thank you, Yudong!" Qin Huairu said excitedly.
He Yudong looked at Qin Huairu's grateful eyes, but his heart was not moved. He helped Qin Huairu not because he still had any feelings for her, but just to use her.
He knew that Qin Huairu was a very capable woman who could help him a lot.
"By the way, Yudong, are you free in the evening? I would like to invite you to dinner. Thank you for your help during this period of time." Qin Huairu said softly.
He Yudong hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
......
In the evening, Qin Huairu prepared a sumptuous meal to entertain He Yudong.
During the meal, Qin Huairu kept picking up food for He Yudong, asking about his well-being and being very attentive.
He Yudong ate his meal while listening to Qin Huairu's flattery, but he sneered in his heart.
He knew that Qin Huairu approached him for a purpose.
However, he didn't mind being used by Qin Huairu.
Because he also has his own purpose.
After three rounds of drinks, Qin Huairu's face became rosy and her eyes became blurred.
She looked at He Yudong and said softly, "Yudong, thank you for taking care of me during this time. I...I really don't know how to repay you."
