Old Mo, eating fish in a courtyard house, reigning supreme in Hong Kong.

Chapter 80: Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui Exploit the Liu Family's Extinction

After leaving the cell, Lao Mo inquired about the situation and soon arrived at Deputy Director Zhang's office.

Upon inquiry, it turned out that Gu Shan could be released as long as he paid a fine of three hundred yuan.

Old Mo was overjoyed. He went for a walk and immediately brought back three hundred yuan.

If Gu Sanzhen can really help him find his daughter, then spending those three hundred yuan will be well worth it.

After paying, Lao Mo waited at the door for half an hour. Then he saw Gu Shan come running out of there, all excited.

"Boss, thank you so much. I thought I was really going to be sentenced this time. Boss, you've got nothing to say, I'm sticking with you for life. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

Gu Shan grabbed Lao Mo's sleeve and said excitedly.

Old Mo chuckled and said, "What if I asked you to kill someone?"

Gu Shan replied without hesitation, "Then I'll kill. Anyway, I've already said I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

I must say, people these days are really loyal and righteous.

An old man came out of the house at the entrance.

"You two bastards, you're out now, why aren't you getting out? Talking about murder in front of me, weren't you tired of being inside?"

Gu Shan shrank back and immediately pulled Lao Mo away.

"Boss, where are we going now?"

"Let me take you to buy some clothes first. Then we'll take a bath and have a meal. After that, we'll go find my daughter. Come on..."

"Okay..."

Gu Shan was very excited.

The two went to the street and each bought two sets of clothes. They also bought a small shoulder bag with "Serve the People" written on it, put the clothes in it, and had Gu Shan carry it.

Old Mo also bought a small shoulder bag to carry, so that he could easily take things out of his storage space.

Then, the two found a bathhouse, went in, and soaked in the water.

After living inside for so many days, I was covered in filth, and the water turned black from washing.

Those guys who were supposed to bathe with them kept their distance. Some even stopped bathing altogether—it was too disgusting.

Gu Shan was very attentive in rubbing Lao Mo's back, and seemed quite happy about it.

After their bath, the two of them looked brand new. They threw away the two old sets of clothes they had changed out of, thinking they were bad luck.

After changing his clothes and stepping out the door, Lao Mo frowned.

Yes, they were being followed.

Two heads popped out from the alleyway ahead, staring at them.

"Boss, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Old Mo smiled and said, "It's alright, let's go eat."

The two found a restaurant and went in to eat.

The two guys outside split up and found a spot; one nailed the front door of the restaurant, and the other nailed the back door.

Old Mo's brows furrowed even deeper.

After finishing his meal, Lao Mo changed his mind.

"Gu Shan, let's go home first."

"Boss, weren't you supposed to be looking for your daughter?"

"I'll postpone it until I get home."

Old Mo led Gu Shan toward the courtyard house.

Old Mo wasn't unable to shake them off; he also knew he was in danger and couldn't afford to act recklessly anymore.

He might not even get a chance to look for his daughter. He really didn't want to waste any more time going in.

Siheyuan.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were drinking at Yi Zhonghai's house.

The two guys were acting like madmen, drinking one minute and crying the next, laughing the next.

Yes, they were all affected by Liu Haizhong's suicide attempt.

They said that there was only one person in someone's bangs, and that they didn't want to live anymore.

What about Yi Zhonghai? He's lost his wife and elderly parents; he's all alone now.

Although Yan Bugui had a son and a daughter, he knew in his heart that if he mishandled one of them, he might not be able to save them either!

Originally, the three old men held absolute power in the courtyard house, but now only two remain.

Although Yi Zhonghai used his connections with high-ranking officials to get Lao Mo imprisoned, people were still dying in the compound.

This made their hearts pound!

"Old Yi! Now that Old Liu is gone, he's left us with a yard full of corpses. What are we going to do?"

Yi Zhonghai, drunk, said, "I don't care anymore, I don't want to deal with it. I'll just hand it over to the neighborhood committee! They'll definitely come and collect it."

Yan Bugui said drunkenly, "I think we still need to intervene. Old Liu was like a brother to us for life. Now that his family is gone, it's not fair for us to just ignore it and hand it over to the neighborhood committee!"

Yi Zhonghai: "Manage it? How do you plan to manage it? So many people need to be buried; it will cost a lot of money."

Yan Bugui: "That's the crux of the matter! Old Liu has worked his whole life, he must have at least 20,000 or 30,000 in savings, right? Hehe..."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's eyes immediately lit up.

That cunning fellow is trying to squeeze every last penny out of his family.

But this suited him perfectly; Yi Zhonghai was currently penniless! He didn't even know where to get the money from He Yushui!

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "You're right. Besides Liu Haizhong's family, there's the Jia family, and your family too. Let's handle it all together then!"

"Okay, okay, okay, we'll do it all together then, all together."

When money is mentioned, Yan Bugui seems to forget his troubles and immediately becomes radiant.

Those two old bastards, even on their deathbeds, are still thinking about eating someone else's childless offspring.

The two hit it off immediately.

Just do it.

Now that Liu Haizhong's family is all dead, it's a good opportunity to take their money. Then, by handling their funeral arrangements, I can at least gain a good reputation!

When Yan Bugui went outside, he saw that there was no one in the middle courtyard and no one in the back courtyard either.

There's no way around it; there are simply too few people in the courtyard houses now. Plus, everyone's gone to work, so there are even fewer people.

So the two old men grabbed their tools and went to Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard.

These door locks are no obstacle at all for an experienced level eight fitter.

Yi Zhonghai could easily unlock the door in less than a minute with a simple click. And it was a non-destructive unlocking method; he could even lock it again later.

The two old men immediately rushed inside.

"Old Yan, don't rummage around, don't make a mess. If the neighborhood committee people come, it'll be hard to explain."

The two entered the bedroom and began their search.

In the end, the two found more than 8,000 yuan and a passbook with nearly 20,000 yuan in it.

There's no way around it; people these days don't really trust banks. They won't deposit all their money in a bank.

Immediately, their eyes lit up.

They knew that Liu Haizhong had been involved in ransacking homes and that his house contained large and small yellow croakers.

However, they didn't dare to rummage through the items. The two of them took the money and the bankbook and left.

When leaving, they made sure to lock the door.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai locked the door, he turned around and found that Yan Bugui was not moving.

He froze for a moment, looked ahead, and found himself unable to move.

Because they saw two people, one of whom was none other than Old Mo.

In fact, Old Mo had been back for a while. He had already sensed those two old thieves long ago.

He just doesn't go into the backyard when they're not out.

Just as Yi Zhonghai and his men thought they had succeeded and were about to leave, Lao Mo happened to walk into the backyard.

"Hey, aren't these Uncle One and Uncle Three? What, profiting from the dead?"

Upon hearing this, the two old men almost collapsed.

P.S.: I managed to get some done tonight, let's see if I can still manage to write another chapter.
