Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

Xu Damao opened his eyes wide, full of disbelief.

"Liu Haizhong, what do you mean by that? It was you who betrayed us, so why do you want me to pay now?"

"I betrayed you?!"

Liu Haizhong was confused and his butt bounced up from the chair he had just sat down on. "Xu Damao, explain yourself clearly. How did I betray you?"

Xu Damao sneered, "Liu Haizhong, you are pretending very well. I never told the security department that Old Yan and his son were involved in this matter. How did they know?"

"How should I know how they knew it? You didn't tell me, and I didn't tell you either."

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he was shaking all over. He stretched out his hand and almost hit Xu Damao's nose. "Xu Damao, don't try to be cunning with me here. If you hadn't run to the workshop and told me, how could the security department keep an eye on me?"

"You have to pay half of the two hundred dollars I was fined today."

Liu Haizhong was really angry and started yelling without caring about anything.

Yan Bugui and his son watched the two people arguing and didn't know how to interrupt.

After a pause, Yan Bugui coughed lightly and said, "Listen to me, don't rush to argue. We need to find out how the security department found us."

"At that time, the security department told me that Jie Cheng had confessed everything. Now I think it was just a bluff. So how did they find the evidence on Jie Cheng?"

As Yan Bugui raised the question, Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong glared at each other and sat back in their chairs angrily.

"Let me talk about this."

Liu Haizhong took a breath and said, "It was very easy for the security department to find me. They had a spy in the workshop. I was chatting about Yi Zhonghai in the workshop yesterday. I guess the spy reported it to them, so they took me in for questioning."

"Perhaps when the rumor started, which was when it got out of hand last night, the security department noticed us, but they just lacked evidence."

Xu Damao echoed this.

Liu Haizhong snorted, "No matter what, Xu Damao, you have to compensate me for my losses."

Xu Damao stood up again in anger, "Liu Haizhong, what you said is wrong, I am also a victim. Don't say I have no money, even if I do, I won't give you a penny."

"Are you a victim too?"

Liu Haizhong sneered, "If you hadn't told me, would I have been targeted by the security department? Now I've been fined, you have to compensate me one hundred."

Yan Bugui and his son watched from the side, making their own plans in mind.

Yan Bugui coughed lightly and said, "Da Mao, tell me honestly, are we doing this for you? Now Lao Liu and I have been implicated and fined because of this matter, shouldn't you express your opinion?"

"Old Yan, don't say that. We are here to fight a common enemy."

Xu Damao's mustache twitched. "Besides, I don't have any money. All my assets were confiscated. The twenty yuan I have is something I borrowed from my mom after get off work."

Yan Jiecheng, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up, "Okay, Xu Damao, you don't want to pay, right? Then we can only spread the news about how you framed Yi Zhonghai. When the news gets out to everyone in the street, your reputation will probably be ruined."

"Yan Jiecheng, you're talking nonsense. It was you who came up with the idea. How the hell did you forget it so quickly?!"

"So what? My family and an old man will help you spread the word. Just wait and see who people will believe in the end!"

Xu Damao was so angry that his teeth were grinding.

"I'll say it again, even if you kill me, I still don't have any money. Ever since that bastard Bang Geng robbed my house last time, I've been carrying the money with me."

Xu Damao became more and more excited as he spoke, and he kept clapping his hands, as if that was the truth.

"I was originally going to be fired from the factory, but I was able to keep my job only after I paid all the money I had to compensate the factory for its losses. So I really have no money left!!"

Just when the few people were in a stalemate, footsteps were suddenly heard outside.

Immediately afterwards, the door of Xu Damao's house was pushed open again.

Everyone's faces suddenly changed. The noise they had just quarreled was quite loud. If Yi Zhonghai heard it, or if someone with ulterior motives told Yi Zhonghai about it, it would be difficult to deal with.

The three managers of the courtyard colluded to frame innocent residents. If this matter were to get out, they would be criticized for three years!!!

They didn't dare to breathe until Wang Dabao appeared at the door, then they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, what are you guys arguing about? I can hear you guys fighting from a distance."

Wang Dabao entered the house, closed the door, and found a chair in the living room of Xu Damao's house and sat down.

As soon as Xu Damao saw Wang Dabao, he rushed over as if he had seen a savior.

"Dabao is not an outsider. Jie Cheng, you should talk to your uncle Dabao about this matter and let him judge for us whether Xu Damao should take the money."

Yan Bugui waved his hand and handed the task to his eldest son.

"You don't have to tell me. I talked to Dabao about it last night." Xu Damao stood up beside Wang Dabao and felt his back was much stronger than before.

After Xu Damao's story, Wang Dabao understood.

It seems that Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong were fined and wanted to seek compensation from Xu Damao.

Wang Dabao took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and gave one to each person.

After all, he squeezed nearly 900 yuan from these three companies today, and he himself had several hundred yuan in his pocket, so these few Zhonghua cigarettes were nothing to him.

After Yan Jiecheng helped Wang Dabao light up, he was about to light up his own cigarette when Yan Bugui grabbed it and said, "Such a good cigarette is wasted by you. Let's just smoke the economical cigarettes."

As he spoke, Yan Bugui carefully put away his son's cigarette and his own, then took out a pack of economic cigarettes and handed them to Yan Jiecheng.

Under normal circumstances, Yan Jiecheng might have muttered a few words, but today he didn't dare to say a word.

Wang Dabao exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "I understand what happened. Damao didn't confess Jie Cheng, and Lao Liu didn't confess either. I'm the only one who knows about it, so I was the one who reported it."

"Dabao, that's not what we meant!"

"Impossible, Dabao, you can't do this."

"Don't think like that, Dabao."

"Uncle Dabao, we dare not doubt you!"

The four of them hurriedly explained that this matter was not Wang Dabao's fault.

Wang Dabao sighed: "Actually, this is easy to understand. Think about how they caught Damao. I think there must be spies from the security department in this factory."

"Once these people have any signs of trouble, they will report it to the security department immediately."

"The same goes for Damao. If he was caught for spreading rumors, then Jie Cheng would certainly not be able to escape. When he got to the security department, they would yell at him, saying that your accomplices had confessed, but you were still resisting stubbornly, and they would deal with you severely. So you confessed everything, right?"

"Yes, yes, that's right. You are smart, Dabao."

Liu Haizhong happily smoked a Zhonghua cigarette and found some time to praise Wang Dabao.

"I'm telling you guys, don't tell anyone. Captain Feng from the security department said he has spies in every workshop."
