Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Zhang Tao didn't care and slowly walked out of the house with a bowl of freshly served food in his hand.

"Hello, Chief." Seeing that it was indeed Zhang Tao, the people from the security department immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Zhang Tao glanced at them calmly and said, "I am now the person being reported, not your section chief anymore."

Yi Zhengzhong and Liu Haizhong were puzzled: Why did the people in the security department call Zhang Tao the section chief?

"When did Zhang Tao become the head of the Security Department? How come we didn't know anything about it?" Yi Zhengzhong asked.

Chen Jiankang glanced at him with disdain in his eyes. Yi Zhengzhong was just punished, but he still dared to be so arrogant. He was really courting death.

"Yi Zhengzhong, do we need to report to you about the security department? You are just an eighth-level worker, but you are in charge of more than the factory director. Do you have such a big face? If you have anything, go ask the factory director. The position of section chief is directly appointed by the factory director."

Yi Zhengzhong was hurt. Although he was usually highly respected in the factory, the attitude of the people in the security department made him extremely unhappy.

In the past, he would definitely not be afraid of looking for Yang

"Grade 8 worker?" Zheng Kangqiang sneered, "Song Yunfan, have you forgotten your demotion? How dare you go and fool Director Yang. Section Chief Liu, since he won't say anything, then tell me how to solve this problem?"

Liu Wenxuan muttered to himself: Is Zheng Kangqiang flattering me, or is he having a grudge against Song Yunfan? Why is he so ruthless? As for the situation inside the steel plant, Liu Wenxuan really didn't know, so he didn't rush to draw conclusions. The most important thing right now is to teach Song Yunfan and Li Haiyang a lesson. There is a price to pay for speaking carelessly.

"I'm from the security department. If I say too much, I'm afraid Song Yunfan won't agree. Since the public security comrades are here, please ask them first. If they refuse to talk, I'll tell them."

Hu Yuanjiang obviously understood Liu Wenxuan's intention, and he also knew that in this situation, it was not clear enough to just say that it was a misunderstanding. After all, no one would easily forgive those who gave him a bad reputation.

"Song Yunfan, Li Haiyang, I'll give you a chance, speak up!"

Song Yunfan understood clearly and knew that this matter would not be resolved so easily. Liu Wenxuan gave him a way out, but he refused to appreciate it. How could a new face who had just arrived in City B for a few days get a bicycle ticket?

"Comrade Hu, to be honest, Liu Wenxuan has only been in Beijing for a few days, and this is his first time at the steel plant. It's impossible for him to get a bicycle ticket. Today, I saw a tricycle parked in front of his house, so Xiao Li and I went up to ask. It was a good intention, but he didn't appreciate it at all and even went to report it to the security department."

Liu Wenxuan curled his lips and thought: Can I just get away with it with good intentions? What a dream! But he did not refute Song Yunfan immediately, but turned to Li Haiyang and asked:

"Li Haiyang, what do you say?"

Li Haiyang was a little breathless under the gazes of the people around him. He hesitated several times and finally said only one sentence: "Brother Song and I agree."

Hu Yuanjiang did not make any further comments, but turned to Liu Wenxuan and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"

Liu Wenxuan smiled and said: "There is a steel stamp on my tricycle, which means it was purchased legally."

Hu Yuanjiang nodded in approval. The stamp was brand new and obviously authentic, and could not be faked.

"Since it was purchased legally, why do you have to tell us the source? Just because we didn't tell you, you are accused of speculation? Who do you think you are? Why do you force me to say this?"

"We are the managers of the courtyard..." Song Yunfan couldn't continue speaking. His arrogance had long been exposed, and it was difficult to intimidate Liu Wenxuan.

Hu Yuanjiang was even more dissatisfied with Song Yunfan's behavior: Just because they didn't tell the source of the ticket, they judged it as speculation. This accusation has no evidence to support it. No one would let them off easily. Not to mention, the police themselves hate those who like to report others for speculation. Who would be willing to take such a big risk if they were not forced to make a living?

"Do you have any evidence?" Hu Yuanjiang asked back.

Song Yunfan was unsure when he saw the police's attitude, but he still said stubbornly: "The origin of the ticket is unknown, this is the evidence!"

Hu Yuanjiang was completely disappointed. Song Yunfan was so stubborn that he would not turn back even if he hit a wall. He knew that Liu Wenxuan was a tough guy, but he still used such a despicable method. He was really hopeless.

"You know, Liu Wenxuan's background is not simple. When he was in the army, even the director couldn't do anything with him. How could such a smart person take the risk of doing something illegal at this juncture?"

"Liu Wenxuan, can you explain the source of the bicycle ticket?"

Zhang San, who was standing in the crowd nearby, suddenly shouted, "Section Chief Liu has already said that his bicycle ticket was obtained through speculation!"

Liu Wenxuan ignored Zhang San's interruption and replied calmly: "This was given to me by Director Ding when I reported for duty today. Director Dong was also present at the time. If you don't believe me, you can go ask them."

Hu Yuanjiang nodded and said to Qi Kangqiang, "Send someone to confirm what Director Ding and Director Dong said."

Zheng Kangqiang said magnanimously: "Why are you asking? If it's fake, would Chief Liu have the courage to do this?"

Hu Yuanjiang glanced at Song Yunfan and Li Haiyang who refused to admit defeat and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?"

When Li Haiyang heard that Ding Guangnan and Dong Yongxu were involved, he immediately became timid. What the leader said was right. Moreover, Liu Wenxuan was the head of the security department. He was busy flattering him, so how could he be wrongly accused for no reason?

"Then let's listen to Director Ding and Director Dong."

Song Yunfan's attitude was completely different. He believed that Liu Wenxuan was just a new "private" who could only get promoted because of their merits.

Lin Ziyang's face was livid, and his eyes were filled with despair. His authority had been fundamentally shaken. Han Yuxiang's point of view was equivalent to directly exposing his lies. If he lost his prestige, what would be the point even if he regained the power to manage things?

The neighbors were talking about it, and the general idea was: Oh, it turns out we don't have to do this.

While everyone was discussing this, the person who went to the security department to inquire about the news came back. "Those bicycle tickets were really given by Director Ding."

Jiang Jianjian looked back at Lin Ziyang and Hu Laizhong and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Hu Laizhong was so frightened that his legs went limp. If he hadn't been supported by his two sons, he would have collapsed to the ground.

Lin Ziyang glared at Hu Laizhong fiercely, thinking, how dare you try to snatch my seat. "Since Director Ding testified for Wang Ping, let's do this. Wang Ping, you should have told me the source of the bicycle ticket, and there would not be such a misunderstanding. Let's all go back and have dinner. Comrade Han, Captain Jiang, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, please excuse me for making this trip."

Jiang Jianjian and Han Yuxiang looked at Wang Ping together, waiting for him to make a statement. If he did not pursue the matter, the matter would be over.

However, Wang Ping did not disappoint the two. He sneered and said, "Lin Ziyang, this is a big deal. You say it's a misunderstanding and can be written off? That's too self-righteous."

To be honest, Wang Ping really hated these gossiping people who lived in the courtyard. Once you offend them, you have to offend them thoroughly. Even if you let them go once, they will not be grateful and will definitely make things worse in the future.

"What do you want? I'm doing this for your own good. Why are you so aggressive?" Lin Ziyang questioned Wang Ping harshly.

Wang Ping smiled coldly, "You are the one who took the initiative. Every action has a price. You should have been prepared when you questioned me and reported me for speculation. Don't worry, the false accusation won't be too serious. You will be detained for a few days at most. But should the factory handle it or send you to the police station?"

"You..." Lin Ziyang pointed at him, speechless.

Hu Laizhong shouted, "The report has nothing to do with me. It was Lin Ziyang who said you were speculating."

Lin Ziyang roared at Hu Laizhong angrily: "Hu Laizhong!"

Hu Laizhong was frightened by Lin Ziyang and could no longer speak.

Seeing Lin Ziyang in trouble, Han Da, who was fooled by him, was unwilling to remain silent. "Wang Ping, you still have to live in this courtyard in the future, and you need to help each other. Don't be too selfish. It was the uncle's fault this time. Let him apologize to you, and let's let it go."

Sure enough, as long as it was not related to Qin Huairu, Han Da was still very clear-headed. Knowing that Lin Ziyang was in the wrong, he came forward to help him plead for mercy. But in Lin Ziyang's view, this made him lose face. How could he admit his mistake to his enemy?

"Han Da, shut up."

"Master..."

At this moment, Qin Huairu walked up to Han Da and gently pulled his sleeve. She was not as stupid as Han Da, and she knew Lin Ziyang very well. She had never seen Lin Ziyang bow to any junior.

"Dear neighbors, Uncle Yi has worked hard for our courtyard over the years and has done a lot of good things. Which family has not received help from Uncle Yi? This time he didn't know Wang Ping well enough and was a little anxious. He didn't mean to doubt Wang Ping. Everyone, please help him and ask Wang Ping for a favor. Wang Ping, you still have to live in this courtyard. What will people think of you if you are so fussy?"

It must be said that the young widow is indeed powerful, and her control over people's hearts is very impressive. It is no wonder that Lin Ziyang and Han Da are so concerned about her.

He had originally intended to send Lin Ziyang to the police station, but Qin Huairu's words complicated things. However, it was unreasonable for Wang Ping to let Lin Ziyang go just based on her few soft words.

Why not take this opportunity to see what other neighbors think?

So Wang Ping said nothing and looked at the crowd around him.

Qin Huairu originally wanted to use some tricks, but when she saw Wang Ping ignored her, she immediately became suspicious.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, many methods were useless and she could only count on the help of the neighbors present.

After several minutes, no one stood up to plead for them.

At this time, an old lady squeezed into the crowd crying, "Wang Ping, my father Lin has been punished by the factory, please forgive him this time. Neighbors, please help me and say something."

At first, Wang Ping did want to send Lin Ziyang to the police station on impulse. After Qin Huairu's persuasion, he changed his mind. It was not because he was moved by her, but because he thought that doing so would have no practical effect.
