âYouââ
âWeâre only standing here to keep an eye on them and send back all the information weâve seen. As for the rest, 1 advise you not to meddle in other peopleâs business.â After this person finished speaking, he no longer cared about that personâs reaction. The man who had spoken earlier moved his mouth but eventually swallowed his words.
Du Yue did not know what happened to the group of people behind them after they left. At this moment, she was in a hurry and did not have time to care about those things. Shen Teng did not live too far away, and the three of them walked in a hurry. Five minutes later, they arrived at the door of Shen Tengâs courtyard. Du Yue took out her walkie-talkie. âZhang Hui, weâre here. Open the door for us.â
After saying that, Du Yue waited patiently. However, three minutes had passed, and they still did not see Zhang Hui. Even the walkie-talkie was silent. No one replied. Was it because there was something wrong with the walkie-talkie, or was there some other reason? Du Yue did not plan to waste time like this.
Du Yue turned to ask He Xing, âCan you open the door?â
He Xing nodded. âOf course, itâs not difficult.â As soon as he finished speaking, a remote control appeared in He Xingâs hand. He Xing fiddled with the remote control a few times and placed it on the door.
The door of Shen Tengâs house was an iron door, and it was also connected to electricity. However, when He Xing put the remote control on the door, the current on the door disappeared. He Xing took out another key and directly opened the iron lock from the inside, opening the door in a few seconds.
It took less than two minutes from the moment Du Yue spoke to He Xing opening the door. Not only was the door opened very quickly, but there was also no commotion from the beginning to the end.
The courtyard was pitch-black. Coupled with the strong wind at night, the whistling sound of the wind affected oneâs hearing. Therefore, if the people in the tent did not come out to take a look, they would not notice that the three of them had already entered.
The three of them quietly walked into the courtyard and locked the door before walking toward the tent. As they got closer and closer to the tent, the three of them heard the conversation coming from inside.
Du Yue listened carefully and realized that Shen Teng was not among the people talking in the tent. Instead, it was two women. The two of them were whispering something. It seemed that they had deliberately lowered their voices, so Du Yue did not hear the exact content of the conversation.
Shen Teng had a high fever and fainted. There were people discussing something in his tent. Du Yue subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Recalling that Zhang Hui had stopped them from visiting Shen Teng, Du Yue suddenly had an idea. As for whether her guess was correct, she would only know when she entered the tent.
Du Yue was anxious, but she did not let down her guard. Her footsteps were fast and steady, and there was almost no sound. The three of them walked to the door of the tent. Just as Du Yue was about to reach out to pull the curtain, sounds of conversation came from inside. As the distance was relatively close this time, Du Yue could hear the conversation inside without any effort.
âWhat is he still doing here? Why didnât you throw him out in the dead of night? As long as we make him disappear without a trace, wonât this courtyard be ours?â It was an aged and slightly hoarse voice. It sounded like the person who spoke was an elderly woman.
After she finished speaking, the tent fell silent. A few minutes later, Zhang Huiâs voice was heard. âMom, but heâs not dead yet! Itâs not appropriate to do thisâ¦â
âHeâs not dead, but heâs about to die. This grassland is deserted. Whoâll come and treat him? Even if we donât throw him out, heâll die sooner or later. We might as well give him a quick death and save him from suffering.â
âMom, I canât do itâ¦â
âWhy canât you? Donât tell me youâve fallen for this man? Donât be stupid. Men are unreliable. Only by relying on yourself can you live a good life. Think about this carefully. Itâs either you become the owner of this courtyard or youâll live the rest of your life on the whims of others.â
âMom, but heâs a living person! Besides, his good friends live nearby. You know that theyâre not ordinary people. If they find out that weâve taken over Big Brother Tengâs home and thrown him out, will we still have a good time?â âCoward! Even if they find out, what can they do? This courtyard is protected by an electric fence. I donât believe they have the ability to barge in and settle scores with us! If you hadnât been so nosy and insisted on telling his friends about his illness, would there be so many problems now? When he died, we could just say that he died of a high fever. What else could they do? There are people dying of illness every day in the city, not to mention on this desolate grassland..â
