Wang Jingtao looked annoyed. He had almost been dragged into this mess yesterday, and now it had come back to haunt him again.

But what Su Chang'an said on the phone forced him to come out to meet him at the West Street intersection.

"What exactly do you want to say to me?"

Seeing Wang Jingtao's impatience, Su Chang'an suppressed his anger and patiently said, "Comrade Wang, even if you completely distance yourself from Meifang now, you can't erase the fact that she was your girlfriend before."

"Moreover, do you dare say you were completely unaware of what Meifang did? Knowing the law and breaking it is an even more serious crime. If I'm not mistaken, Chief of Staff Wang is already very dissatisfied with you, isn't he?"

“If Meifang is caught, her crime will be sealed. She loves you so much, and she might not want to be separated from you by death. If she says something during the interrogation, wouldn’t that be bad for everyone?”

Wang Jingtao couldn't help but regret it. If he had known better, he would have turned Su Meifang over to the police station the first time she approached him. That way, he could have earned a reputation for being upright and incorruptible, and for putting family members before the law.

As a result, I kindly took her in for a few days, and now she's become a handle they have against me.

"What exactly are you trying to say? Don't beat around the bush with me!"

Seeing this, Su Chang'an quickly made his request, "Comrade Wang, it's extremely dangerous for Meifang to stay in Beijing right now. She's like a bomb that could explode at any moment. If we're not careful, she'll burst, and not only you, but I will be implicated. The best solution right now is for her to go far away..."

“I want her to be far away from Kyoto, sent to a remote place as an educated youth sent to the countryside, and never come back.”

“In those remote little places, no one would know her. Moreover, I heard that in those rural brigades, they are basically self-sufficient and rarely have the opportunity to go to town to buy necessities. Many people never have the chance to come into contact with the outside world in their entire lives.”

“Meifang has not been convicted yet. As long as she cannot be found, this matter will be gradually forgotten before long. When people talk about Meifang, they will only say that she is a suspect, not a murderer.”

A calculating glint flashed in Wang Jingtao's eyes. "You mean you want me to arrange this trip to the countryside?"

Su Chang'an smiled apologetically, "Comrade Wang, your Wang family's connections are far more convenient than mine. Besides, I'm being closely watched right now. If I make any move, Shunpeng will quickly find out... That wouldn't be good for either of us..."

Wang Jingtao thought about it and realized that Su Chang'an was right. Once they left and were no longer in Kyoto, everyone would gradually forget about this matter.

"Okay, see you at the same place in two days!"

Su Qingci didn't tell her family about her sick leave. Li Yueniang did ask, but Su Qingci brushed it off by saying she had just returned from a mission and had a long vacation ahead of her.

When Song Jingzhou and I had nothing to do, we would decorate the courtyard in the courtyard house in Jiaxi Alley.

That day, Dachang rode his bicycle excitedly to the door, "Sister Su, Brother Song, are you both here?"

Song Jingzhou put on a professional smile, "Oh, look at you, all radiant and glowing, like spring in full bloom, with waters as green as blue, what good news could it be?"

"Hehe, this is really a good thing."

"Brother, the courtyard house behind the west street corner that you bought has been cleared out for you. Flathead Bro wants you to go and take possession of the house this afternoon!"

Song Jingzhou then remembered this matter, "It's only now that it's been cleared out? I thought Qingci had already taken possession of the house. You guys said it would be cleared out in half a month, and now it's been a month!"

Dachang chuckled awkwardly, "We've used every trick in the book, we're practically ready to kill and set fires, but we never expected these two families living here to be so reckless and fearless!"

Speaking of this, Dachang's face turned ashen. He said that the commission he earned from introducing houses was as good as the hardship of earning the clearing fee.

He even considered encouraging the honey badger to just return the money to Comrade Su halfway through the trip, and not make any more money.

But Honey Badger is a man of his word, and he managed to settle the matter. And you know what? After a month, not only did he not make any profit from the fifty yuan clearing fee, he might have even put in a lot of money out of his own pocket.

Every day, they have to send people to threaten, intimidate, and harass, and they also have to bribe the neighborhood office. They can't really take drastic measures, so they can only pick fights, smash things, and break into homes at night by banging on pots and pans and forcibly dragging sleeping residents out, preventing them from resting.

Unexpectedly, the two households refused to move out and started arguing with them. After hearing that Old Man Ge had sold the house, they cursed Old Man Ge's ancestors for eighteen generations, claiming that they also had a share in the house and demanding two-thirds of the proceeds. They even threw excrement at them.

Their shameless attitude was so outrageous that even Da Chang and his gang of thugs couldn't stand it anymore. It was the first time they had ever seen someone occupy someone else's house like this. Not only did they not pay rent, but they also made the landlord's house uninhabitable, and now they had completely taken over the house.

This went on for a month, and eventually, Da Chang and the others escalated their methods to the point where they would light fires at midnight to smoke out the people in the house and release non-venomous snakes to scare them.

Finally, when the neighborhood committee came to mediate again, the other party, probably exhausted by the commotion and seeing that they couldn't gain any advantage, offered to let them find suitable rental housing.

But everyone has seen the true colors of these two families, so who would dare to rent their house to them?

Who knows, I might become the second Old Man Ge in no time.

The neighborhood committee had no choice but to apply for a rental property from the housing management bureau's newly acquired properties, which was still unrenovated, and let the two families move in first.
