Chapter 174 Lu Ning threatens Xu Damao!
In the wilderness, the land silently carried his last traces, as if telling the world his tragic fate.
People in the courtyard gradually forgot the existence of the Yan family, and their names and stories disappeared without a trace in this small community.
People are busy with their own lives, and few mention the family that once lived in the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Lu Ning had been staring at Xu Damao recently, laughing at him from time to time, making Xu Damao feel numb inside.
Although Xu Damao pretended to be indifferent on the surface, his heart was in turmoil.
He knew that Lu Ning was a shrewd and experienced man, and he would never smile at him for no reason.
Lu Ning's smile contained a hint of teasing, mockery, and an indescribable depth of meaning.
This made Xu Damao feel nervous every time he met him in the courtyard.
Xu Damao tried to persuade himself not to think too much about it, but the ominous premonition would never go away.
One evening, Xu Damao just came back from outside and saw Lu Ning standing in the middle of the yard, still smiling.
He couldn't help but frowned and thought: "What on earth is Lu Ning up to?" Although he was unwilling to confront Lu Ning head-on, Xu Damao decided to test him and see what he was laughing at.
"Lu Ning, has anything good happened recently? I see you smiling so happily every day." Xu Damao asked in a nonchalant manner.
When Lu Ning heard what Xu Damao said, he laughed even more happily. He patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Xu Damao, don't you have any idea in your mind? I laugh at you because your recent performance is really interesting."
Xu Damao's heart tightened, but he pretended to be calm on the surface: "Oh? If there is anything interesting, why not tell me about it."
Lu Ning waved his hands and smiled more mysteriously: "It's boring if we talk about this.
Xu Damao, you should be more careful sometimes and don't let others catch you."
When Xu Damao heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew that he had done a lot of things recently, some of which were shameful.
Did Lu Ning discover something?
"Lu Ning, your words are a bit vague.
What does it mean?" Xu Damao asked, pretending to be indifferent.
Lu Ning smiled and shook his head: "Haha, no rush, take your time.
Some things will come to light sooner or later.”
Xu Damao felt a chill rising from his back, and he realized that he had to be more careful and not let anyone catch him in any way.
A few days later, Xu Damao was still troubled by Lu Ning's smile, and he felt more and more uneasy.
Whenever he saw Lu Ning's smiling eyes, it seemed as if they were saying, "I know your secret." This feeling made him unable to sleep or eat, and he even dreamed of Lu Ning's smiling face at night.
One day, Xu Damao finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he decided to find out the truth.
After observing for a whole day, I found that Lu Ning had been wandering around the yard, as if waiting for an opportunity.
When it was getting dark and everyone in the courtyard went back to their rooms to rest, Xu Damao quietly walked up to Lu Ning and asked in a low voice, "Lu Ning, let's have a showdown.
What do you know?
Lu Ning still had that smiling face and said softly, "Xu Damao, since you asked, I won't hide it from you.
I saw everything you did to Sha Zhu some time ago."
Xu Damao's heart suddenly sank. He knew that Lu Ning was talking about that incident - the night when he secretly released a mouse into Sha Zhu's house, which caused Sha Zhu to stay awake all night and get beaten black and blue the next day.
Although no one can prove that he did it, if Lu Ning really knew, then the situation would be bad.
"What evidence do you have?" Xu Damao asked calmly.
Lu Ning chuckled: "Evidence? I'm not a policeman, but I saw it clearly. You were sneaking around that night. Don't think I didn't notice it."
Xu Damao felt a sense of panic, but he knew that he had to keep his composure at this time.
"Lu Ning, you said you saw it, so what? Do you have evidence? If you don't have evidence, it's useless to say anything without any evidence."
Lu Ning still smiled: "Xu Damao, why are you so anxious? I don't intend to sue you, I just want to remind you not to go too far. We are all neighbors, why make it so ugly?"
When Xu Damao heard this, he felt a little relieved, but he did not relax his vigilance against Lu Ning.
Lu Ning was warning himself not to act rashly again.
"Lu Ning, don't worry, I know my limits." Xu Damao forced a smile, "We are all neighbors, and I don't want to cause any unpleasantness."
Lu Ning nodded, still smiling: "That's good, Xu Damao, remember what I said, it's always good for us neighbors to be more harmonious."
Xu Damao nodded and turned back to his room.
Although Lu Ning's words made him feel a little relieved, he knew that everyone in this yard was a tough guy.
Especially Lu Ning, this seemingly kind person, but in fact he is very scheming and should not be underestimated.
In the following days, Xu Damao became more cautious.
Handle your own affairs carefully and stop doing things that may arouse suspicion.
At the same time, he was also secretly observing Lu Ning, trying to find out his weaknesses in case of emergency.
However, Lu Ning still had that smiling face, and every time he saw Xu Damao, he would reveal a meaningful smile.
This smile became a thorn in Xu Damao's heart, making him feel uneasy every time he saw it.
As time went by, life in the courtyard seemed to have returned to normal.
But Xu Damao knew that this calm was only superficial and could be broken at any time.
And he must always remain vigilant to prevent Lu Ning or others from doing anything bad to him again.
The days passed in tension and anxiety. Xu Damao knew very well that the struggle within the courtyard had never stopped. Everyone had his own calculations, and he could only try his best to maintain his position and not get himself into deeper trouble.
In this courtyard full of undercurrents, everyone is fighting for their own interests.
And Xu Damao is also trying to find his own way to survive in this complex interpersonal relationship.
Although the road ahead is difficult, he knows that only by persevering can he remain invincible in this ever-changing yard.
Lu Ning stood in a corner of the courtyard with a gloomy look in his eyes, and he already had a plan in mind.
He had already killed many people in this yard, but he knew that in order to truly and thoroughly solve the problem, he had to get rid of the troublemaker Xu Damao completely.
However, before that, he decided to scare Xu Damao and let him taste the feeling of fear.
It was late at night and the courtyard fell into silence.
Lu Ning acted quietly. He first came to the outside of Xu Damao's room and knocked on the window gently.
There was no response from inside, but Lu Ning knew that Xu Damao must have heard it.
He knocked again, a little harder this time.
