Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

Yi Zhonghai stood there, facing everyone's gaze. He knew very well that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to him.

If the stalemate continues, he will be the one who suffers.

After careful consideration, he decided to take a step back and try to save himself.

He looked up at the people around him and said in a steady but helpless voice: "I know that what happened today has disappointed everyone. I apologize to everyone here. But things are not what you think. I hope you can give me some time to prove my innocence."

Yi Zhonghai paused, as if weighing the pros and cons, and then continued: "In order to be fair, from now on, I will no longer be the head of the courtyard, and I will no longer be involved in handling matters in the courtyard. I hope this result will satisfy everyone."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief.

He had already taken such a big step back, and he thought that this should calm the situation.

If Lu Qing continued to pursue the matter, it would be too much.

Lu Qing raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Master, such a terrible thing happened, do you think it's over?"

"Then what else do you want?" Yi Zhonghai asked coldly.

Lu Qing said calmly: "Of course I called the police."

"You!" Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale in an instant, and everyone else looked at Lu Qing in shock.

No one thought he would actually call the police.

This is a serious matter, involving chaotic relationships between men and women, with disastrous consequences.

Yi Zhonghai may even face imprisonment, and in serious cases, he may be shot.

Liu Haizhong saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Lu Qing, we are all neighbors in the same compound, there is no need to make such a big fuss, right?"

Yan Bugui also echoed: "Yes, Lu Qing, it may just be a misunderstanding. There is really no need to call the police. Let's just discuss it."

However, Xu Damao didn't think so. He sneered and said, "Such a shameful thing happened. If we don't call the police, what will happen to the women in our yard in the future? What if they are also bullied? Should we just pretend nothing happened?"

Hearing this, several women in the courtyard immediately stood up to support Xu Damao: "Yes, Xu Damao is right! If you men do this and are not punished, what should we do?"

Lu Qing turned to look at Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, and said calmly: "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you are the authority figures in the hospital. If you don't uphold justice at the critical moment, who will be able to convince you in the future?"

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui looked at each other, feeling helpless.

They knew that Lu Qing wanted to kill them all.

If Yi Zhonghai was not there, the two of them could cover the sky with one hand in the courtyard, but Lu Qing's actions made them feel that they were a bit too much.

If this continues, the rules in the yard will become too strict. Won't everyone who makes a mistake be sent to the police station?

Just when the atmosphere was tense, an old lady appeared.

She saw Yi Zhonghai in the crowd, and glanced at Qin Huairu standing beside him, and she already understood the whole story.

Behind her followed the oldest deaf old lady in the yard.

The aunt's eyes were full of anger and her gaze fell directly on Qin Huairu.

She strode forward, raised her hand and slapped Qin Huairu hard on the face.

"We are so good to you. We always lend you any extra food we have and help you when you are in trouble. But you are so ungrateful that you deliberately framed my old man!" The aunt scolded, "Tell me, what are you thinking? Do you still have a conscience?"

The slap made Qin Huairu's face red, but no one at the scene came forward to help her.

Qin Huairu covered her face and responded with a stiff upper lip: "I'm telling the truth. What's the point of you saying this? Are you asking me to lie?"

When the aunt heard that she was still unwilling to give in, she became so angry that her face turned blue and she angrily said, "You...you..."

"Enough!" At this moment, the deaf old lady stood up, her voice deep and powerful.

She glanced at everyone coldly and said sternly, "Have you had enough of the commotion? It's so late, everyone go back to bed!"

Lu Qing raised his eyebrows. The deaf old lady's attitude was obviously speaking for Yi Zhonghai.

She asked everyone to disperse and the matter would slowly fade away.

Even if someone talked behind his back, it was just private chat and would not have much impact on Yi Zhonghai.

Seeing that the situation was developing in a direction favorable to Yi Zhonghai, Lu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. When he was about to speak, footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the yard, and then two people in police uniforms walked in.

"We are the police. There are so many people gathered here. What happened?" one of the policemen asked.

When he heard the police's voice, Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale instantly and a look of fear appeared in his eyes.

Others also looked at the two policemen in surprise, unable to believe that they were here.

Who called the police? Was it Lu Qing? But he had been here the whole time, so there was no chance for him to call the police.

Xu Damao was enjoying the fun and was about to say something gloating: "We have something going on here..." Before he could finish his words, Lou Xiao'e grabbed him and warned him in a low voice: "Don't say anything!"

After Xu Damao thought about it carefully, he also felt that it was not good.

If you call the police every time something happens, you will be in trouble if you do something wrong in the future.

Especially those unclear matters between himself and Qin Huairu. If he were to be implicated, the consequences would be disastrous.

After thinking this through, Xu Damao shut up obediently.

Just as Lu Qing was about to speak, Yi Zhonghai took the lead and said anxiously: "Lu Qing, I know there are some misunderstandings between us. I may have been wrong before, and I apologize to you here."

Lu Qing raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Huh? You really admit your mistakes?"

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and continued, "I didn't pay you back the money I paid you for your job transfer last time. I still owe you one hundred... no, two hundred yuan. I'll pay you back when I get back!"

Lu Qing finally understood that Yi Zhonghai was really scared.

When he saw the police arrive, he obviously realized the seriousness of the matter and dared not hold on any longer.

He even took the initiative to pay back the money he owed Lu Qing and was willing to double the compensation, obviously trying to exchange money for safety.

Lu Qing smiled faintly: "Uncle, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Yi Zhonghai felt so angry that his teeth were itching, but he had to endure it.

Now he knew very well that if he didn't pay some price, he might really get into big trouble.

In order to save your life, it’s no big deal to bleed a little. You can earn it back later anyway.

"Also, you have been He Yuzhu's apprentice for so many years, and I have said that I will subsidize you. I will also make up for this money." He continued, his face full of anxiety, "A total of... a total of 200 yuan, how about it?"

Two hundred yuan is not a small amount of money at this time.

Even though Yi Zhonghai has a high salary, he can save 50 yuan a month by living frugally, so it will take him four months to save 200 yuan.

This is equivalent to his savings for nearly a year.

The people around watched this scene and understood that Yi Zhonghai had already started paying money to redeem himself.

Everyone looked at Yi Zhonghai and then at Lu Qing, wondering, Yi Zhonghai was willing to pay so much, would Lu Qing accept this condition?

The police looked at the tense atmosphere on the scene, but still didn't understand what was going on.

The leading police officer asked again: "What on earth are you doing? Don't waste our time!"

Yi Zhonghai was extremely anxious and shouted at Lu Qing, "Isn't this enough?"
