Chapter 320 Nervous
However, he did not expect that so many people would gather so quickly and ask him about Xu Damao's situation.
"Youquan, was Xu Damao really taken away by you?"
"What on earth did he do? Why did you suddenly take him away?"
"Did he do something evil? He has been living in our courtyard. What if he really implicates us?"
The residents were talking about it in a buzz.
There was a mixture of curiosity and worry in their tone.
Li Youquan felt even more annoyed after hearing these words.
He certainly knew what these people really cared about.
They were not really concerned about Xu Damao's safety, but were worried that Xu Damao's affairs would bring them unnecessary trouble.
In this era, any disturbance in the courtyard will become the focus of discussion.
Once Xu Damao's affair gets out, their courtyard will probably become a laughing stock.
Precisely because he saw through the true colors of these people, Li Youquan's attitude toward them became even colder, and he spoke coldly.
"Xu Damao did have some problems, but I can't go into details. You all know what the Intelligence Department does, so it's better not to ask about some things."
After saying this, he glanced at Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai who were hiding behind the crowd.
There was a flash of panic in their eyes, and they were obviously frightened by Li Youquan's words.
Li Youquan frowned again, and his doubts about these two people grew even greater.
Perhaps feeling the coldness from Li Youquan, the residents took a few steps back and dared not move forward.
The originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet. Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui quickly calmed down and prepared to leave.
Just as the two were about to leave, Li Youquan suddenly spoke.
"I'll let you go this time, but if I catch you doing something naughty next time, don't blame me for being rude."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui's faces turned extremely pale, but they did not dare to say anything more. They could only leave in shame and return to their respective homes.
Although the others were confused by what Li Youquan said, they did not dare to stay any longer and went back home.
Originally, Li Youquan felt that his words were clear enough to discourage anyone from coming to him to ask about this matter.
However, things in the world are often not as we wish.
Before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by Qin Jingru's nervous expression.
Li Youquan looked at the little girl in front of him. Her nervousness and anxiety seemed to be written on her face.
Although he was dissatisfied with her previous behavior, her trust and persistence in Xu Damao at this moment moved him, a man who was always known for his calmness.
"Brother Xu, Xu Damao is really a good person. He would never do those things. Did you misunderstand him?"
Qin Jingru tugged at the corner of her clothes, her voice trembling a little, but her eyes were extremely firm.
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Li Youquan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
He thought she would avoid Xu Damao's affairs. After all, he had seen the neighbors' attitudes before.
However, she still chose to believe Xu Damao, and this trust really surprised Li Youquan.
Li Youquan did not answer her immediately. After all, Xu Damao's matter was indeed a bit complicated.
He knew she wanted him to speak for Xu Damao, but he also had to tell her the truth.
"Qin Jingru, we always rely on evidence when doing things. If Xu Damao really didn't do these things, I believe he will be back soon."
Li Youquan was silent for a moment, and finally replied indifferently.
His words made Qin Jingru's eyes red instantly, but she did not cry.
Li Youquan could tell at a glance that she was trying hard to control her emotions and didn't want to lose her composure in front of him.
However, at this moment, Qin Huairu suddenly rushed out from a corner, her eyes were vicious, as if she had just done something unforgivable.
"Li Youquan, I know you hate me, but if you have anything to say, just come at me, don't bully my sister!"
She shouted, her voice full of anger and dissatisfaction.
Li Youquan looked at her and couldn't help feeling helpless.
He really didn't understand where Qin Huairu's hatred for him came from. After all, she had deliberately wanted to hurt him from the very beginning.
However, at this moment she had lost her mind and vented all her anger on Li Youquan.
Li Youquan didn't say much, just glanced at Qin Huairu indifferently, then turned and left.
He knew that no matter how he explained, she would never think that this matter was her fault.
And Li Youquan obviously didn't intend to waste his time explaining those meaningless things.
After all, the truth will come out.
"Oh, whatever you think."
There was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in Li Youquan's tone. He really didn't have the extra energy to argue with Qin Huairu about these trivial matters.
What's more, this is not a person who can reason with others.
So he chose not to say anything more, turned around and walked into the house, leaving behind silence.
Qin Jingru stood outside the door, watching Li Youquan's departing back, feeling an inexplicable sense of urgency in her heart.
She wanted to go forward and knock on the door, but Qin Huairu grabbed her wrist tightly, as if it were an iron clamp and she could not break free.
"Don't think I don't know what's on your mind. Put those little thoughts aside."
Qin Huairu's voice was low and stern, revealing unquestionable majesty.
She stared into Qin Jingru's eyes, as if trying to see through her inner thoughts.
In the past two days, Qin Jingru has been upset because of Xu Damao's matter. Qin Huairu saw it and felt pain in her heart.
She is well aware of Qin Jingru's innocence and kindness, but in this complex world, this innocence often becomes a tool for others to exploit.
"If I find out that you came to Li Youquan for Xu Damao's matter again, don't blame me for sending you back to the countryside right now!"
There was a hint of threat in Qin Huairu's tone, but more of it was helplessness and heartache.
She didn't want to see Qin Jingru ruin her future because of a momentary impulse.
Whether it was Xu Damao or Li Youquan, Qin Huairu had a deep hatred for them.
This hatred is like an invisible barrier that separates them.
It was precisely because of what happened before that she didn’t want Qin Jingru to have any contact with these people.
After hearing her sister's words, a trace of loneliness and helplessness flashed in Qin Jingru's eyes.
She knew that her sister was right, but the obsession in her heart made it difficult for her to let go.
She stared blankly at Li Youquan's tightly closed door. Just as she took a step forward, Qin Huairu pulled her away with all her strength.
