Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2497 Yan Bugui's Account Book

The photos were taken by Xu Damao, but Qin Huairu didn't care.

"What's impossible about that? The deaf old lady's son is a secret agent of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics."

Would she dare tell anyone?

These were things she secretly told the old man on her deathbed.

"Silly Zhu, think about it carefully. Before the deaf old lady died, didn't she often have an old man keep her company alone?"

Sha Zhu felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

All along, Qin Huairu had been deceiving him and treating him like a fool.

He was a joke in other people's eyes.

Now, he can also treat Qin Huairu like a fool.

Sha Zhu first hinted to Xu Damao to hide the photos, and then said, "You said all of this yourself."

Do you have any evidence?

Qin Huai wasn't afraid of Sha Zhu asking questions; he was afraid that Sha Zhu wouldn't ask.

Every time Sha Zhu asked, it gave her an opportunity to make up lies. With these opportunities, she was confident she could fool Sha Zhu into obeying her.

"Evidence? Of course I have it. You wait here, I'll get it for you."

When they saw Qin Huairu turn around to get the evidence, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were dumbfounded.

The two couldn't understand what evidence Qin Huairu could possibly produce in this matter.

Han Yue's eyes lit up, his face full of anticipation. If he had evidence, he could report back to his superiors.

Qin Huairu turned and went into the storeroom, beckoning Yan Jiefang to come and help him.

Han Yue took the initiative to go over and help move the things.

After carrying several boxes, Qin Huairu told him to stop.

"Please move aside."

Qin Huairu pushed Han Yue aside, opened the box herself, and took out a notebook.

“Isn’t this my father’s account book?” Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang recognized the notebook’s origin at a glance.

Yan Bugui's notebook wasn't bought; he couldn't bear to buy it anyway.

These notebooks were all made by him using letter paper he had taken from school.

Yan Buguishun had a lot of paper, and he didn't use it all up by the time he died.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "It's the Third Uncle's account book."

Everyone knows that Uncle San has a habit of keeping accounts. He likes to record everything, big or small.

This notebook contains records about Jin Qihao.

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang pursed their lips, deeply disgusted by Yan Bugui's habit of keeping accounts.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao's expressions weren't very good either.

Yan Bugui's account book not only recorded money matters, but also events that happened in the courtyard.

He wrote those things down, and when the opportunity arose, he would use them to blackmail the people in the courtyard for benefits.

Han Yue asked in confusion, "How did Yan Bugui's account book end up in your house?"

Qin Huairu didn't have a good impression of Han Yue. This guy was just there to steal the restaurant's business.

However, Qin Huairu did not show it.

The key to the restaurant's success still lies with Sha Zhu. As long as Sha Zhu is dealt with, Han Yue is nothing to fear.

"After the Third Uncle passed away, the three Yan brothers were only concerned with taking valuables."

Nobody wanted these tattered notebooks.

I had the sticky stem put away.

Unexpectedly, this notebook saved me from being falsely accused by Xu Damao.

Han Yue wanted to see the contents of the ledger, but was afraid of exposing his identity, so he dared not act and hinted to Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was close to Qin Huairu and reached out to take it, but Qin Huairu dodged him.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to destroy the evidence?"

Xu Damao said dismissively, "Who's going to destroy the evidence? I just want to see if you deliberately forged it."

Everyone knows that Uncle San has many notebooks. What if yours is useless?

Qin Huairu snorted: "Whether it is or not, you'll know once you see it. But I can't show it to you."

"If anyone's going to look, it has to be Sha Zhu." Qin Huairu took the notebook and walked over to Sha Zhu, opened it, and found the dates for the entries.

"Jin Qihao first came in 93, when you were having an affair with Lou Xiao'e."

An old man was angry with you, so he didn't tell anyone. Later, when he found out Jin Qihao's identity, he didn't tell anyone for safety reasons either.

She also took the opportunity to explain why she kept it a secret from Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu reached out and took the ledger, looked at it carefully for a few moments, and confirmed Qin Huairu's statement.

He also saw records of Jin Qihao meeting with Yi Zhonghai several times afterward.

Finally, it also includes the time when Kim Je-cheon appeared.

"You guys are really something. You actually colluded with spies behind my back."

Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat. She was so focused on explaining to Sha Zhu that she forgot about Jin Jichuan's identity.

If this gets out, her family is finished.

Qin Huairu quickly explained, "What spies? That's ancient history."

When Jin Qihao returned, he was over seventy years old and had long since stopped being a spy.

Besides, the government isn't pursuing past issues anymore. They're Taiwanese businessmen; the Taiwanese office personally invited them back to invest.

If the government wants to investigate his case, can the counter office still invite him back?

Sha Zhu casually tossed the ledger to Han Yue: "I don't care about counter service or not, I just know he's a spy, a bad guy."

Qin Huairu said irritably, "He's a bad guy, and what are you?"

Don't forget, when the deaf old lady died, you were the one who handled her funeral as her grandson.

You are family with the deaf old lady, and you are family with him.

He's a spy, you can't escape either.

"I didn't know that!" Sha Zhu shouted angrily. "If I had known, I would have definitely reported her."

Xu Damao seized the opportunity to say, "I knew that deaf old lady wasn't a good person."

He says in the courtyard every day, "Ten years ago, I would have been a traitor."

Who would have thought she was the traitorous old woman?

She's the perfect example of someone crying "Stop thief!"

Qin Huairu said, "What are you shouting for? Do you want all the neighbors to know that there's a spy in the yard?"

The deaf old lady has been dead for so many years, what good will it do if she shouts again?

"You can even dig up her ashes?"

Qin Huairu used this opportunity to give Sha Zhu and Xu Damao a good scolding, but she didn't see that Han Yue was quickly flipping through Yan Bugui's account book.

This is both an account book and a diary.

Yan Bugui kept accounts by the day. He glanced through them and found that there were 365 days in a year, not a single day was missed.

This also resulted in Yan Bugui keeping a lot of records. Finding the information you need takes a considerable amount of time.

In a short period of time, Han Yue simply could not memorize all the information.

He wanted to take the ledger back so that his colleagues in the bureau could properly check it.

Han Yue was afraid of alerting the enemy, and didn't know what reason to use to take the account book.

He could only turn to Sha Zhu and Xu Damao for help.

Xu Damao understood his implication, so he snatched the ledger and flipped through it.

"Third Uncle's account book is quite complete. He even remembers clearly which day Sha Zhu hit me and how many times."

Yan Jiefang said, "Brother Da Mao, don't even mention you. He remembers exactly how many cornbreads we ate when we were kids."

Xu Damao then said, "Qin Huairu, are all of Third Uncle's account books here with you?"

"Yes. After the Third Uncle died, I had Xiao Dang put him in that box."

Xu Damao turned his head and glanced at the box, then said, "This box is mine."

"What do you need this for?" Qin Huairu instinctively felt something was wrong, but couldn't figure it out.

Xu Damao said, "I'll take it back and count how many times Sha Zhu has hit me in his life."

Sha Zhu then realized that the ledger was useful, meaning: "Don't forget, after I beat you up, I also compensated you."

I also want to see how much money I owe you.

Qin Huairu, not noticing anything amiss, gave it to Xu Damao. (End of Chapter)
