Old Mo, eating fish in a courtyard house, reigning supreme in Hong Kong.

Chapter 26: Xu Damao, pressured by the entire hospital

Yi Zhonghai waited for two full minutes, but still no one dared to stand up and speak.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was at a loss for what to do, Liu Haizhong suddenly said, "Old Yi, a dangerous element like him can't stay in our compound. Do you think there's any way to get rid of him?"

Liu Haizhong was helpless. He knew perfectly well that someone had killed his grandson, but he couldn't find any evidence and was powerless to do anything about it.

He sensed the danger and knew he had to get rid of them first. Liu Haizhong himself wasn't afraid, but he had family!

Yi Zhonghai slapped his thigh and said, "Second Uncle is right. That's exactly what I was thinking. He's going to kill us all, how can we let him live?"

My second uncle and I have the same idea. I'm calling on everyone to sign a petition to drive this little beast out of our compound. Do you all agree?

Liu Haizhong immediately raised his hand and said, "I agree."

Upon seeing this, the Liu family members also raised their hands.

Yan Bugui also eagerly raised his hand.

I agree.

Yan Bugui also sensed the danger. He too had occupied one of Lao Mo's houses. Now that someone in Liu Haizhong's family had died, his family might be next.

So, the entire Yan family raised their hands.

"Agreed, get that little beast out."

Jia Zhangshi immediately raised her hands and howled loudly.

I agree.

Qin Huairu also raised her hand.

When the other residents saw this, they all raised their hands as well. Even the deaf old lady raised her hand.

The atmosphere was very unified; most people raised their hands.

Only two people didn't raise their hands: Xu Damao and Qin Jingru.

At this moment, Xu Damao was starting to regret attending this ridiculous college-wide meeting.

He had no grudge against Lao Mo, because their families lived close by and they had been friends since childhood.

When the Liu, Jia, and Yan families, who occupied the house, divided the money, he didn't accept any. Xu Damao wasn't poor, and he didn't care about those ten yuan.

When Lao Mo got into trouble, he helped Liu Xiuxiu, who is Lao Mo's wife.

Unfortunately, Xu Damao was a nobody, and he couldn't possibly risk his life and fortune to fight for Liu Xiuxiu. In the end, Liu Xiuxiu also met a tragic end.

Of course, Lao Mo was unaware of these things.

After returning, Lao Mo's personality suddenly changed drastically. Even Xu Damao was a little afraid of him and didn't dare to catch up with him.

Even so, Xu Damao was still unwilling to raise his hand.

This one move would inevitably turn him into a bitter enemy. There was also the possibility that Old Mo would target him and kill him. He couldn't afford to make such a joke.

So everyone raised their hands, except for Xu Damao and his wife, who absolutely refused to raise theirs.

At this point, the couple seemed a bit out of place.

Yi Zhonghai's face was extremely grim. He said in a deep voice, "Xu Damao, why aren't you and your husband raising your hands?"

At this moment, Xu Damao and Qin Jingru were under tremendous pressure!

"Hey, sir, you guys are enough for this kind of thing, one or two more of us won't make a difference, right?"

"You're talking nonsense."

Jia Zhangshi immediately cried out.

"Xu Damao, why won't you raise your hand? Tell me, are you in cahoots with that murderer? Are you plotting with him to harm us?"

And Qin Jingru, why didn't you raise your hand? You're related to the Jia family, are you looking down on us? Tell me…”

Jia Zhangshi glared fiercely at Qin Jingru, which terrified Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru weakly wanted to raise her hand, after all, Qin Huairu was her older sister.

"Qin Jingru, what are you doing?"

Xu Damao reached out and slapped her hand away.

"You bitch, are you out of your mind?"

He lowered his voice and said, in a tone only the two of them could hear, "We have no grudge against Old Mo. You just raise your hand, and it's done. Do you want to die?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru was immediately startled. She quickly lowered her hand, daring not to raise it again even if she were beaten to death.

"Gentlemen, I'm sorry, the Xu family won't get involved in your affairs. If there's nothing else, we'll head back to sleep. It's getting late, and we have work tomorrow!"

Xu Damao pulled Qin Jingru and tried to leave.

However, as soon as he turned around, he was stopped by someone.

The people who stopped him were none other than Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

"Brother Da Mao, that's not fair of you. Someone from our Liu family has died. Are you trying to make an enemy of our Liu family?"

Xu Damao said firmly, "It's all in broad daylight, you can't force me. This kind of thing is entirely voluntary. What do you want to do? Get out of the way, I want to go home."

Liu Guangtian clenched his fists: "Brother Da Mao, is that even human? Given our relationship, now that my son has died, is this how you treat me?"

Xu Damao was speechless.

"Liu Guangtian, are you stupid? Don't you know who killed this person? Besides, what does my not raising my hand have to do with your dead son? Get out of the way."

"Xu Damao, are you really going to go against the entire hospital?"

Yi Zhonghai's angry voice came from behind.

"This Xu Damao is selfish and self-serving. I knew he was a bad seed since I was a child, and I was right. He has no compassion at all."

The one who said this was none other than the deaf old lady who was like a pillar of strength.

Xu Damao was speechless and looked at Yi Zhonghai.

"Sir, how is not raising my hand considered going against the entire hospital? I reiterate, our Xu family will not participate in this matter. Is it not allowed for us to not participate? This is a society governed by law; don't I have any human rights?"

Yi Zhonghai angrily said, "Xu Damao, what time is it now? You're still contradicting me. Today I'm giving you two choices: first, raise your hand; second, move out of our compound."

No matter what, he's determined to drag Xu Damao down with him today.

"Why should I?! This is a house passed down through my Xu family for generations. What right do you have to kick me out?"

Without Sha Zhu, Xu Damao spoke with much more confidence.

"This is outrageous! Look at this, everyone! Look at Xu Damao's attitude! His attitude is very problematic. He might be in cahoots with Lao Mo. He's a bad element hiding among the people. Tell me, can we still keep him in our courtyard?"

Yi Zhonghai's words were highly inflammatory.

"No, no. Bad elements cannot live in our compound."

Immediately, others chimed in.

Xu Damao grew anxious and shouted, "Fine. I'll go out and look for a place tomorrow, I'll move out, okay?"

Even if he wants to move out, he can't raise his hand like that; it's too dangerous.

At this point, everyone was speechless.

Xu Damao seized the opportunity to grab Qin Jingru's hand and immediately retreated.

Just then, a loud shout came from behind.

"Brother Da Mao."

Xu Damao paused, turned around, and suddenly his body trembled.

Then he saw Old Mo standing at the entrance of the Central Courtyard, giving him a satisfied smile.
