Liu Guangqi gave Wu Yu a very serious warning, telling him to keep his mouth shut no matter what, because if this matter were to leak out, it would not benefit anyone.
Wu Yu readily agreed, as she was still thinking about what Liu Guangqi had promised her. Putting everything else aside, the matter of Qin Huairu alone was enough.
Seeing that Wu Yu agreed so readily, Liu Guangqi gradually felt relieved. He felt that no matter what, Wu Yu would listen to him, since he was doing things for him, and messing things up would not benefit anyone.
In the days that followed, Liu Guangqi began searching everywhere for Qin Huairu's whereabouts, while also keeping an eye on the movements of Jia Zhangshi and Sha Zhu in the courtyard.
However, to Liu Guangqi's disappointment, he had not received any useful information from Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi.
Even their own search yielded nothing.
Wu Yu was just an idle young man. Although the people in the compound didn't know what he was doing there, they all had a feeling that he was involved with Liu Guangqi.
So gradually, people started to gather around Wu Yu and ask about the specifics.
However, Wu Yu kept her mouth shut. No matter how much everyone tried to get information out of her, she refused to tell them the truth.
He knew that if he angered Liu Guangqi, he wouldn't fare well either.
Wu Yu's daily wanderings around the compound still attracted some attention, especially from Xu Damao.
Xu Damao was bored lately, so he set his sights on Wu Yu, who was always loitering around the yard.
Seeing Wu Yu wandering around in the backyard, Xu Damao took the initiative to approach her.
"Hey bro, what are you doing here? Wait a bit!"
Xu Damao treated Wu Yu with such enthusiasm, as if Wu Yu were his own brother.
Seeing Xu Damao's enthusiasm, Wu Yu didn't stand on ceremony, after all, he was a naturally outgoing person.
In just a few words, the two got to know each other. Xu Damao knew that Wu Yu had come with a secret, but fearing that it would arouse suspicion, he did not ask about it.
Instead, he continued to chat idly with Wu Yu. With Xu Damao's constant flattery, Wu Yu even began to think that Xu Damao was her confidant.
Seeing that Wu Yu was gradually taking the bait, Xu Damao simply brought it up and said he would take Wu Yu out to eat.
"Brother, brother, we're both free today, let me treat you to a couple of drinks!"
Xu Damao said with a smile, very happy.
"Going to your house? That's not good, your wife is still at home!"
Wu Yu feigned politeness, though he actually wanted to have a couple of drinks with Xu Damao, since he hadn't had any alcohol at Liu Haizhong's house for several days.
Xu Damao, on the other hand, was even less likely to bring Qin Jingru back, knowing that she was pregnant.
So Xu Damao continued, "What's the point of going home for a drink? It'll just be noisy at home. Why don't I treat you to a drink outside?"
When Wu Yu heard that Xu Damao was going to treat her to a meal, she was even happier.
"Brother Da Mao, you're too kind. There's no need to be so polite between brothers!" Wu Yu pretended to be polite to Xu Da Mao.
Xu Damao waved his hand and said, "These are all small matters. Getting to know us brothers is a big deal. It's nothing for me, as your older brother, to treat you to a meal!"
The two chatted idly in the backyard for a while. Wu Yu then left the compound with Xu Damao.
Since most people had gone to work, no one noticed that Xu Damao had taken Wu Yu away from the compound.
If Aunt Erda or Liu Haizhong saw this, they would definitely not allow Wu Yu to hang out with Xu Damao.
No matter what, Wu Yu is no match for Xu Damao. With all his cunning and scheming, Wu Yu will expose all of Xu Damao's tricks in no time.
However, no one saw Xu Damao leave with Wu Yu, and Liu Guangqi was frantically searching for Qin Huairu's whereabouts outside at this time.
Xu Damao led Wu Yu directly to the tavern outside.
"Brother, brother, have some more. You don't need to be so polite with us men!" Xu Damao warmly poured Wu Yu a glass of wine.
Wu Yu is the kind of person who can't hold much in his stomach. After having a few drinks with Xu Damao, he got a little out of his mind.
Xu Damao looked at Yu, who was drunk and starting to mutter and talk nonsense, and knew that he had achieved his goal.
"Brother, tell me what exactly you came here for!"
"Don't worry, as long as you tell me, I definitely won't tell anyone!"
Xu Damao had long suspected Wu Yu's purpose in coming. From the moment he saw Wu Yu, he felt that Wu Yu was acting suspiciously.
I invited him for drinks today because I wanted to find out what kind of shady dealings were going on that I didn't know about.
"Oh, this is something serious! I thought it was something big!"
"I came here because Liu Guangqi promised to do something for me!"
"Damn, Brother Da Mao, you don't know Liu Guangqi is a real scoundrel, that bastard Liu Guangqi!"
He was drunk and speechless; at that moment, he couldn't hold back his words at all.
So when Xu Damao asked him why he came to the compound, he immediately told Liu Guangqi to sell him off.
She even went on to explain in detail the things between herself and Liu Guangqi.
"Oh, I knew it! No wonder Liu Guangqi ran home at this time!"
"So it turns out there was someone named Wu Yu chasing after the debt!"
"But this Liu Guangqing is really a scoundrel. Qin Huairu has already remarried, so why is she still listening to him and getting together with Wu Yu?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Damao's eyes lit up immediately; he truly hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
Who would have thought that Liu Guangqi, who looks so respectable and serious, is actually so despicable in private and capable of doing anything?
"That's only right. You should make Liu Guangqi bleed!" Xu Damao said to Wu Yu, feigning righteous indignation.
Wu Yu nodded cooperatively and replied, "That's right, that's exactly what I mean. I'm here waiting for Liu Guangqi to give me this explanation!"
"If he doesn't handle this well, I'll take this matter out on him and report him to his workplace. I don't believe he'll have a good life after that!"
Wu Yu understood that Liu Guangqi valued his reputation and was worried about his future, which is why he acted so recklessly.
If this were to happen to Xu Damao, he would never admit it.
