Chapter 244: Just Protecting Our Rights
"You guys should leave quickly. This place is not peaceful." Su Ming said to Lou Xiao'e, "I will take care of things here."
Lou Xiao'e nodded, indicating that she understood. She turned and got into the car, which started quickly, drove out of the courtyard, and disappeared into the night.
Su Ming watched Lou Xiao'e's back as she drove away, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew that the departure of Shi Fangren and his wife represented the end of a period of time, and also symbolized that the fate of the Siheyuan was doomed. However, he did not have time to immerse himself in thinking, because the current situation was not optimistic.
When he turned around and prepared to return to the courtyard, a cell phone ring broke the silence of the night. Su Ming took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from Shi Xiaojun.
"Hello, Xiaojun, what's the matter?" Su Ming asked.
"Brother Ming, I saw you guys driving away in a car just now. I felt something was wrong, so I called Sister Fu." Shi Xiaojun's voice came with a hint of anxiety.
Su Ming's heart moved. He knew that Shi Xiaojun was one of the residents and also his right-hand man. He had great confidence in his observation and vigilance.
"Did you call Sister Fu?" Su Ming asked quickly, "What did she say?"
"Sister Fu said she also felt something was wrong and asked me to notify you immediately." Shi Xiaojun said.
Su Ming's heart tightened. He knew that this situation might not be simple. Fu Heyi was a senior resident of the courtyard. She was very familiar with the situation here and would not easily issue a warning. If she felt something was wrong, then the situation might be more critical than he thought.
"Okay, you did the right thing." Su Ming said, "Where are you now?"
"I'm in the yard, right at the gate." Shi Xiaojun replied.
Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Shi Xiaojun was here to protect the safety of the courtyard, he was his right-hand man and he could be trusted.
"You stay there, I'll be right over." Su Ming said immediately, "We must be careful and not let any criminals succeed."
After hanging up the phone, Su Ming walked back to the courtyard quickly. In the night, he saw Shi Xiaojun standing at the gate, looking around solemnly. Su Ming felt warm in his heart, knowing that he had such a reliable helper, which made him feel very relieved.
"Xiaojun, what did you see?" Su Ming walked up to Shi Xiaojun and asked.
Shi Xiaojun pointed to the street in the distance and said, "A few people passed by here just now. They looked suspicious. Their eyes were fierce. I think they might have bad intentions."
Su Ming frowned, alert in his heart. He knew that the situation had become extremely urgent and he had to take action immediately to not let any criminals succeed.
"We must be careful." Su Ming said to Shi Xiaojun, "I will call Sister Fu to see if she has any clues."
After that, Su Ming took out his cell phone and called Fu Heyi. After the phone rang a few times, Fu Heyi answered the call.
"Hello, Su Ming, what's the matter?" Fu He's voice came, sounding a little anxious.
"Sister Fu, there are some suspicious people here. Have you noticed anything unusual?" Su Ming asked.
Fu Heyi was silent for a moment, then said: "I also noticed that these people don't look right. They may have bad intentions, so you must be careful."
Hearing Fu Heyi's warning, Su Ming's heart sank. He knew that the situation was extremely urgent. He had to take action immediately and not let any lawless person succeed.
After listening to Fu Heyi's call, Su Ming became more alert. He knew that the situation was very critical and he had to take decisive measures to protect the safety of the courtyard. At the same time, he was also worried about Lou Xiao'e's safety. After all, she was the daughter of Shi Fangren and his wife and might become the target of criminals.
"Xiaojun, I need you to go to Sister Fu immediately and ask her to comfort Lou Xiao'e." Su Ming said to Shi Xiaojun, "Tell her that we will do everything we can to protect her."
Shi Xiaojun nodded and turned away immediately. Su Ming hoped that Fu Heyi could comfort Lou Xiaoe as soon as possible and tell her not to worry too much. At the same time, he also needed to strengthen security precautions to ensure her safety.
After Shi Xiaojun left, Su Ming turned back to the courtyard. He knew that what he had to do now was to strengthen security precautions and not let any lawless people take advantage of the situation.
"Xiaojun, go gather the residents of the courtyard, tell them the current situation, and let everyone stay vigilant." Su Ming said to Shi Xiaojun.
Shi Xiaojun immediately took the order and walked quickly to every corner of the courtyard. Su Ming, with a sullen face, began to inspect the entire courtyard to ensure that no corner was missed.
In the night, the courtyard seemed particularly quiet, with only a breeze blowing, bringing a hint of coolness. Su Ming walked hurriedly through every corner, staring closely at every detail, and remained vigilant at all times.
Suddenly, he heard a slight sound of footsteps, and he immediately stopped and looked around. In the dim light, he saw several figures approaching quietly.
"It's you!" Su Ming's heart tightened. He recognized one of them. It was the middle-aged man who came to inquire about the demolition situation before.
When those people saw Su Ming stop, they immediately quickened their pace and walked towards him. Their eyes were cold, revealing a malicious aura.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Su Ming asked vigilantly.
The middle-aged man sneered and said, "We are here to settle accounts with you! You guys dared to obstruct our plan, and now you have to pay the price!"
Su Ming faced these people calmly, without any retreat in his heart. He knew that this was a critical moment and he had to respond calmly and not let the other party succeed.
"We are not obstructing your plan, we are just protecting our rights." Su Ming said firmly, "If you want to solve the problem peacefully, we can sit down and talk."
However, the middle-aged men remained unmoved. They had already made up their minds to teach Su Ming and the residents of the courtyard a lesson.
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and Fu He'er and Lou Xiao'e hurried over.
"Brother Ming, are you okay?" Fu Heyi asked immediately when she saw Su Ming's serious expression.
"Sister Fu, why are you here?" Su Ming asked in surprise.
Fu Heyi smiled and said, "Xiaojun called me and said you were in danger, so Xiao'e and I came over to check on you immediately."
Su Ming felt warm in his heart. He knew that Fu Heyi was a kind and enthusiastic person. She was very concerned about the safety of the courtyard and would protect the residents here at all costs.
