Cao Anping and Xu Damao were the first ones to return from the steel rolling mill, but Secretary Yang's affairs were already known to everyone in the factory, which shows how quickly news spreads.

When the people in the courtyard saw the two people coming back, they all started asking about them, wanting to hear more reliable gossip, because there were too many versions of the gossip on the street.

Cao Anping just nodded in response. As for the matters at the factory, he did not give any clear answers. Xu Damao was a little silent, and it was not known whether he felt guilty.

Neither of them was in the mood to talk, and everyone felt it was a letdown so they just ignored him and waited for the other steel mill workers in the yard to come back.

Today's dinner was quite lively among the people in the courtyard because everyone was in a lively mood to talk.

Since ancient times, ordinary people have liked to watch beheadings, and they like to watch big people get into trouble even more.

Even in the new world, everyone's hobbies have not changed.

Of course, there were three people in the 95 courtyard who were not happy.

Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai mistakenly thought that the deaf old lady's backer was Secretary Yang, which is equivalent to the collapse of her backer.

But for the deaf old lady, it was a shock.

When she heard about what happened to Secretary Yang, she subconsciously suspected that the things she lost had been exposed.

We had threatened Mr. Ma to investigate, but we didn't expect Secretary Yang to be in trouble before the results came out.

The deaf old lady guessed that she would definitely be implicated in this matter. Secretary Yang would never hide it for her and he probably wanted to kill her.

She thought about it and didn't even have time to eat dinner. She just lay down on the bed and began to moan.

Although I don't know if pretending to be sick will help, I can only try my best. It would be good if I can get some sympathy.

When Yi Zhonghai came back and saw that everyone was chatting animatedly, he felt annoyed, so he went to the backyard and planned to ask the deaf old lady if she knew the truth.

But before he knocked on the door, he heard a weak groan coming from inside the room.

Yi Zhonghai quickly opened the door and asked with concern, "Old lady, what's wrong with you?"

The deaf old lady replied breathlessly: "Ouch... I... I have a severe headache..."

Although Yi Zhonghai was a little suspicious subconsciously, he quickly said loudly: "Don't worry, old lady, I will find someone to take you to the hospital right away."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran out of the house to look for someone.

At the same time, at the gate of No. 95 Courtyard.

A car braked suddenly and four middle-aged men with peculiar temperaments got out quickly.

Because they were wearing Zhongshan suits and two of them were holding pistols in their hands, which was a combination that ordinary people rarely saw.

The gatekeeper Yan Bugui's eyelids jumped when he saw four people walking quickly towards the courtyard. He could only bite the bullet and asked with a smile:

"Leaders, what happened?

I am the manager of this courtyard. How can I help you?"

One of the square-faced men replied, "Does Yu Dairou live in the backyard? Please take us there."

Seeing that Yan Bugui didn't react, he reminded her again: "It's the deaf old lady in your courtyard."

Yan Bugui was startled, glanced at the guns in the hands of the two men, and hurriedly led the way. As he walked, he bravely asked:

"Leader, are you from the police? What crime did the deaf old lady commit?"

The square-faced man replied, "Yes, we are similar to the police. We are investigating cases. We have confidentiality regulations. Don't ask too many questions."

Yan Bugui shut up immediately. When they passed the front yard and the middle yard, people who saw them came forward foolishly to ask questions. Everyone noticed that something was unusual.

Those who were brave enough followed from a distance, guessing that there would be something exciting to watch again.

Yi Zhonghai was looking for someone in the backyard to carry the deaf old lady to the hospital, but everyone was reluctant.

Just as he was about to go to the central courtyard with a gloomy face to call Sha Zhu, he saw Yan Bugui coming in with four people with special temperaments. His heart sank and his eyelids twitched.

He had seen people dressed like this before!

Yi Zhonghai was deeply impressed. Two years ago, a batch of highly confidential workpieces processed by the steel rolling mill were destroyed, and it was people dressed like this who handled it.

As an old man in the courtyard, he should have stepped forward to ask, but he held back and even stepped aside a few steps because he had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Yan Bugui brought the four people to the door of the deaf old lady's room.

Cao Anping stood at the door, looking at the four people, wondering if they were a department similar to the "National Security".

He saw that half of the people in the yard followed into the backyard and watched from afar, so he also went out, stood behind the crowd, waiting for developments.

The four people entered the house, and everyone moved forward and pricked up their ears, and heard the painful groans of the deaf old woman.

Seeing the deaf old lady lying on the bed, the square-faced man frowned and said loudly: "Yu Dairou, you are in trouble!

Tell me the truth, what information do you have? Hand it over as soon as possible."

But the deaf old lady pretended not to hear, and instead complained even louder: "Ouch... My head hurts so much, I'm dying, who can take me to the hospital?"

The square-faced man snorted coldly and ordered, "Search! Be careful. The files show that gold was found in her house. Take away all the floor tiles for me."

When the people outside the house heard this, they looked at each other in surprise. They all realized the seriousness of the matter and suspected that the deaf old lady might be a spy?

Cao Anping originally wanted to put the remaining letters into the deaf old lady's house, but after thinking it over he decided not to.

He had a feeling that these letters might have other uses. The deaf old lady would definitely not come back, so it would be a waste to leave a few more.

The three searched very professionally but found nothing unusual.

The square-faced man said, "Carry her out and search the bed carefully."

The deaf old lady was terrified. She thought these people had no sympathy at all. She couldn't run away, but they didn't even send her to the hospital.

Being carried out of the house by two people, her acting skills were still intact, and she shouted weakly:

"Ouch... My head hurts. Comrades, are you taking me to the hospital?"

When the people surrounding the courtyard saw the deaf old lady being carried out, they all took a few steps back and looked at her performance with strange expressions.

Anyone who was a little smarter guessed that the deaf old lady was pretending. After all, the old woman was used to pretending to be deaf and dumb, so there was nothing strange about her pretending to be sick.

Yi Zhonghai felt the toughness of these people and quietly retreated behind them, fearing that he would be implicated.

But Sha Zhu couldn't stand it anymore. After all, the deaf old lady had just helped him avoid jail.

Besides, he didn't know the identities of these people, they were not even police officers, so he rushed forward in a fit of anger.

He yelled, "Let go! Are you bullying an old man?

Didn’t you hear that he kept complaining about his headache? Don’t you know how to respect the elderly and love the young? "

But before Sha Zhu got within three meters, he saw a gun pointed at him. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat and his calves began to tremble.

The man holding the gun stared at Sha Zhu and warned him, "Be quiet! If you dare to interfere with public affairs, come back with us!"

Sha Zhu swallowed his saliva, raised his hands and slowly backed away, not daring to say a word.

No one in the courtyard dared to breathe. They even had a feeling that if Sha Zhu dared to be stubborn, they would really shoot.

The backyard became eerily quiet.

After a few minutes, the square-faced man came out with the remaining person. It seemed that they had no gain.

The square-faced man made a gesture and led the deaf old lady out.

Everyone in the courtyard quickly made way for fear of being implicated.
