Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

Chapter 44 Yi Zhonghai is anxious

The security department acted quickly. There was a whistleblower and the man was caught on the spot. Sha Zhu had no way to deny it and was directly locked up in a small dark room.

Director Yang was eating in the box. His secretary ran in and whispered in his ear. Director Yang looked at the secretary in surprise but didn't say anything. The secretary nodded vigorously. Director Yang didn't say anything either. He just continued eating as if he didn't know anything.

Xu Damao excitedly asked Li Jianjun on the way: "Brother, you did a great job. Even if Shazhu doesn't die, he will be skinned alive."

Li Jianjun didn't think so. How could a deaf old lady watch her grandson suffer? She denied, "Don't talk nonsense. It has nothing to do with me. The stupid pig has such a foul mouth and such a bad temper. Who knows who did it behind the scenes? The fat man is a good person. He killed his relatives for the sake of justice!"

Xu Damao smiled contemptuously: "Yes, yes, yes, it's a good thing to sacrifice relatives for the greater good. Fatty did a great job. I have to publicize it when I get back."

The two of them quickly returned to the courtyard. Li Jianjun went straight home. Xu Damao was standing at the door talking to Yan Bugui: "Uncle San, this is terrible. There's a thief in our courtyard."

Yan Bugui was shocked: "Whose house was robbed? I didn't hear about it today."

Xu Damao smiled and said, "Uncle, it's not someone's house that was robbed. Sha Zhu was reported for stealing things from the factory and was caught on the spot. Do you think there was a thief in the courtyard? I don't think there will be a chance for the civilized courtyard this year."

Yan Bugui was anxious. Although the reward from the Civilized Courtyard was not much, it was still an income after all. "Oh, damn Shazhu, no, I must make Shazhu pay. Oh, let's go find Lao Yi."

After saying that, Yan Bugui ignored Xu Damao and hurried off to find Yi Zhonghai. Xu Damao didn't follow him, as he still had to promote the product everywhere. He went straight to the backyard to talk to Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong was very happy to hear the news. He didn't care about that little thing. Sha Zhu had always ignored him and now he was getting his comeuppance.

Soon Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui found Xu Damao at the entrance of Liu Haizhong: "Xu Damao, you said Sha Zhu was arrested. Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Yes, at the factory gate, I saw with my own eyes that Chief Sun from the Security Department led people to arrest him, and caught him red-handed. Moreover, the one who reported him was his apprentice Fatty. So many people saw it." Xu Damao said proudly.

Yi Zhonghai recalled Fatty. He had seen Sha Zhu, the apprentice. Although he was a flatterer and a smooth person, he certainly didn't have the courage to report Sha Zhu. There must be someone behind the scenes instructing him. Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao: "Xu Damao, did you instigate Fatty to report Sha Zhu?"

Xu Damao was not in a hurry: "Uncle, please don't talk nonsense. I don't even know him. How do I know how Sha Zhu offended him?"

Seeing that Xu Damao didn't seem to be lying, Yi Zhonghai believed it a little, but still asked, "Since it wasn't you who reported it, then why did you come back so late and you happened to see it?"

Xu Damao was angry: "Hey, uncle, you still ask me even though I came back late. I was waiting for Jianjun to come back together, but you had something to do and delayed me. Is that not okay?"

Yi Zhonghai suddenly realized, that's right, Sha Zhu had just caused trouble for Li Jianjun two days ago, and was arrested today. He refused to believe that it was not Li Jianjun who did it, so he went to Li Jianjun's house angrily.

Li Jianjun was playing with Xiaodang at home. Now that Li Jianjun was not at home, Xiaodang came to play with Han Chunyan. At this time, there was a loud knock on the door, which scared Xiaodang.

Li Jianjun quickly opened the door, wanting to see who was knocking on the door and what urgent matter it was. But when he opened the door, he saw it was Yi Zhonghai, with a pale face and a panicked look on his face.

Li Jianjun said angrily: "Uncle, my door has not offended you. Are you going to tear it down? Replace it with a new one?"

Yi Zhonghai ignored Li Jianjun's teasing and asked directly: "Li Jianjun, stop talking nonsense. I want to ask you, did you report the matter of Sha Zhu?"

Li Jianjun had expected that they would suspect him, but was suspicion useful? Nothing at all: "Say, uncle, don't slander me. I just happened to see it. The person who reported it was his apprentice. Don't say I didn't know. Even if I knew, I would report him."

Li Jianjun spoke so righteously that Yi Zhonghai even suspected that he had made a wrong judgment. However, when he saw Li Jianjun's half-smile, he became more resolute in his judgment.

At this time, many people heard the noise and came over, including the deaf old lady. When she heard that Sha Zhu had been reported, she hurried out and didn't need anyone's help at this moment.

The deaf old lady didn't care about anything else and hurriedly asked Yi Zhonghai: "Zhonghai, what happened to my good grandson Shazhu? Why was he reported?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Li Jianjun, but replied to the deaf old lady: "Old lady, Sha Zhu was reported by his apprentice today. There must be someone behind this."

The deaf old lady also looked at Li Jianjun: "You bastard, why did you report Sha Zhu? Even if you have any conflicts, you can solve them in the hospital. Why did you report him?"

The deaf old lady had completely forgotten how Jia Dongxu reported Li Jianjun: "Old lady, I don't like what you said. You said I reported it, do you have any evidence? Also, what about resolving it in the yard? That's all bullshit. You didn't say that when Jia Dongxu reported me. Although Jia Dongxu didn't say who instructed him to do it, I know it in my heart."

The deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai didn't know what to say after hearing what Li Jianjun said. They had also instructed Jia Dongxu to report Li Jianjun, and this was revenge.

Li Jianjun ignored them and looked at the crowd watching the excitement: "Dear neighbors, today Sha Zhu stole things from the cafeteria and was reported by his apprentice. He was caught at the factory gate. The uncle insisted that I was the one who ordered him to do it. Isn't this wrong? An uncle from the same courtyard accused me without any evidence. Don't say that I didn't do it. If I knew that Sha Zhu stole state property, I would have reported it long ago. What's the matter, uncle? Shouldn't people who report theft of state property be rewarded? Why are you questioning me?"

Li Jianjun first had to distance himself from the report, which would be glorious on the surface, but no one would make friends with a whistleblower, although he didn't need many friends. Secondly, he had to give Yi Zhonghai a blow from a moral perspective.

"Yes, this old man is so indiscriminate. Isn't it right for that idiot Zhu to report him for stealing?"

"That's right. Every time I come home from get off work, carrying a lunch box, I almost forget my last name."

"This is not right, how can you blame Jianjun? And it wasn't Jianjun who reported it. Didn't Jianjun say it was Shazhu's apprentice who reported it?"

The voices from the crowd made Yi Zhonghai start to sweat. Liu Haizhong saw that this was a good opportunity and he had to help out: "Old Yi, I know you are good to Sha Zhu, but you have to distinguish between things. You can't be partial to such a big thing. Sha Zhu is standing against the people!"

My goodness, Liu Haizhong almost sent Yi Zhonghai away as soon as he opened his mouth. After all, Sha Zhu just took some dishes, and the accusation was too big.

Yi Zhonghai was anxious. Li Jianjun and Liu Haizhong were going to ruin his image. "Everyone, Jianjun misunderstood. Everyone misunderstood. I watched Shazhu grow up. I don't believe he would do such a thing. So I came to ask Jianjun. I have no other intentions."
