Siheyuan: I live next door to Xu Damao, my last name is Cao

Out of desperation, Director Wang could only follow Liu Haizhong to the courtyard.

As soon as they stepped out of the gate of the machinery factory, the biting cold wind swept in like a ferocious beast, blowing across their faces mercilessly.

However, Liu Haizhong was completely unaware of this. His mind was filled with resentment towards Yi Zhonghai at the moment, and the coldness from the outside world could not touch the burning anger in his heart.

Along the way, Liu Haizhong complained incessantly like a flood.

His voice trembled slightly with anger, and every word seemed to carry a sharp edge.

"Director Wang, you really don't know that the feud between me and Yi Zhonghai is not just one or two days. He relies on his title as the most powerful man in the courtyard to bully others in the courtyard and show off his power all day long. In his eyes, the courtyard has almost become his own place where he has the final say."

"I just followed the street's official notice and took the job as a senior in a courtyard house. He holds a grudge against me and targets me everywhere. His tolerance is so small!"

As Liu Haizhong spoke, he recalled his past disputes with Yi Zhonghai. His brows were tightly twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川". The disgust on his face seemed to materialize, and one could tell at a glance how deeply he hated Yi Zhonghai.

"This guy is simply a narrow-minded, petty and despicable person! I never thought that he would be so cruel and ruthless that he would not even let my son go. He actually dared to have evil thoughts on him and do such an unforgivable and unscrupulous thing! Doesn't he have any conscience and humanity? When he did this, didn't his conscience feel the slightest condemnation?"

Director Wang sat there silently, motionless like a statue, just listening to the other party's angry accusations quietly. His eyes were always staring straight ahead, as if he wanted to see something through the endless void, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

At this moment, Director Wang's inner world was already as chaotic as a ball of wool tangled by a cat's paw.

On the one hand, he didn't want to get involved in this complicated neighborhood dispute from the bottom of his heart.

Because he knew very well that these things were often complicated and intricate. If they were not handled with carelessness, not only would he fail to solve the problem, but he would most likely bring himself endless trouble.

However, on the other hand, he couldn't help but feel worried about Liu Haizhong.

After all, Liu Haizhong has always been impatient and impulsive. If he can't control his emotions and makes things out of control, the final result will probably become out of control.

In this way, Director Wang would sometimes frown slightly, and sometimes glance at Liu Hai who was complaining incessantly.

From time to time, his eyes revealed a deep helplessness and a hint of worry, but considering Liu Haizhong's anxious state at the moment, he still resisted the urge to interrupt the other party.

When he was only a few steps away from the entrance of the courtyard, Liu Haizhong, who had been hurrying forward, suddenly stopped without any warning, as if he was fixed in place by an invisible force.

Then, he turned around suddenly with an extremely abrupt and swift movement, the speed was so fast that it was astonishing.

At this moment, his medium-sized eyes were staring straight at Director Wang beside him. His gaze was as sharp as a torch, filled with endless sincerity and deep expectations.

His expression was extremely solemn and serious, as if every word he was about to say was of great weight.

Liu Haizhong said in a low and slightly trembling voice: "Director Wang, if we meet Yi Zhonghai later, please be sure to identify him carefully and seriously! This matter is too important to me. It concerns my son. You must help me find out the truth of the matter thoroughly!"

"Ever since my boy disappeared, I, as a father, have been worried and restless all day long. I feel like my heart is about to break into countless pieces. Now, all my hopes of finding his whereabouts rest on you!"

In response to Liu Haizhong's request, Director Wang first nodded slightly to indicate his agreement.

Then, his usually calm face gradually showed a solemn expression, and he slowly responded: "Don't worry, Master Liu, since I promised you, I will do my best to do this."

Having said that, Director Wang's heart was actually in turmoil at this moment, like fifteen buckets of water - up and down.

Because he knew very well that the matter at hand was extremely tricky, like a tangled mess that could not be untied. If he made the slightest mistake, he would very likely be trapped in deep trouble and unable to extricate himself.

However, when he met the eager and expectant look in her eyes, his heart softened, and in the end he couldn't bear to refuse the other party's heavy request.

So, the two of them walked into the courtyard together with their complicated feelings.

When the people in the yard saw Liu Haizhong bringing in a strange face, they couldn't help but look sideways, and their curious eyes were cast on him like spotlights.

At this time, Yan Bugui was sitting leisurely at the door, enjoying the precious warmth in winter.

Seeing them, he quickly stood up and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Lao Liu, who is this?"

Liu Hai's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. He was so anxious that he had no time to care about other things, let alone greet others.

His face flushed, veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Uncle, this is Director Wang of Guangqi's machinery factory. He came here today because of my disappointing son Guangqi! I have to have a good talk with you. My son's affairs are definitely related to Yi Zhonghai!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, striking the originally calm crowd.

In an instant, the surroundings exploded as if a powerful bomb was dropped.

"What? It's actually related to Yi Zhonghai?" Someone was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, his eyes wide open, and asked in disbelief.

"No way? Yi Zhonghai looks like a very honest person on weekdays, how could he do such a thing?" Another person also had a suspicious look on his face and shook his head repeatedly to express his doubt.

For a moment, everyone started talking at once, and the noisy voices rose and fell like waves.

Everyone's face was filled with surprise, as if they had seen the most incredible thing happen in the world.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to calm his heart that was almost out of control.

However, the rage burning in his heart was like the magma before a volcanic eruption, surging and surging in his chest, and it seemed that it would erupt at any time.

He gritted his teeth, trying to hold back his emotions that were about to explode, and raised his voice again to explain to everyone: "His Third Uncle, and all the neighbors present, can you imagine this? That Yi Zhonghai is so bold that he dared to forge my identity and pretend to be Guangqi's father to sign! Isn't this obviously bullying our Liu family!"

"It was because of his impersonation that the factory agreed to let Guangqi go to Heilongjiang Province. Otherwise, Guangqi would not have been able to leave on his own!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone seemed to be cast under a spell, stunned. The whole yard suddenly fell silent, and everyone was so shocked by the sudden truth that they were speechless.

A moment later, the scene that had originally quieted down was instantly broken again, and the discussions surged again like a surging tide, and this time the sound was much louder and more clamorous than before, as if it was going to overturn the entire yard.

The anger spread among the crowd like a wildfire at an alarming speed.

Yan Bugui's eyes, which were not small to begin with, were now wide open, and his eyeballs seemed to almost fall out of their sockets. His eyes were full of disbelief at what he saw and heard.

He shouted loudly: "What on earth is wrong with Yi Zhonghai? How could he do such a shameless and immoral thing!"

Someone nearby echoed, "Who says it's not true? He always looks serious, but who would have thought that he could be so vicious and sinister? It really proves the old saying - you can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart!"

Even the usually calm Third Aunt was shaking with anger. She clasped her hands tightly on her waist, and her face became distorted because she was too angry.

She kept muttering, "This Yi Zhonghai is simply too outrageous! How can he joke about children's affairs? This is no joke. This has completely ruined the whole family!"

For a moment, everyone in the yard was like being struck by lightning. They were completely shocked. They were stunned, with their mouths wide open but unable to utter a word.

No one expected that this incident was actually done by Yi Zhonghai.

You know, just this morning, Yi Zhonghai swore in front of everyone and patted his chest to assure that this matter had nothing to do with him!

As soon as he stepped into the middle courtyard, Liu Haizhong yelled at the top of his voice like an enraged bull: "Yi Zhonghai, you bastard! Get out here!"

The voice was as loud as a huge bell, echoing in the sky above the courtyard, carrying with it endless anger and resentment, as if it wanted to vent out all the pain and anger that had been accumulated in its heart for the past few days through this roar.

This sudden shouting and cursing instantly attracted the attention of many neighbors.

Everyone poked their heads out of their houses, looking around with confusion on their faces, trying to figure out what was going on.

Some of them didn't even bother to put down the work in their hands, and hurried towards the source of the sound, with curiosity and worry on everyone's face.

Liu Haizhong went straight to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house. The anger in his heart had burned to the extreme and could no longer be suppressed.

He suddenly raised his leg and kicked hard at the door of Yi Zhonghai's house with all his strength.

With a loud "bang", the door seemed to be unable to bear the weight and was kicked open heavily. The wooden door collided violently with the door frame, making a harsh sound, as if telling of the sudden violence.

Inside the house, Yi Zhonghai was sitting on a chair, drinking tea leisurely and enjoying a moment of tranquility and comfort.

The sudden and violent sound of the door breaking was like a bolt from the blue. He trembled all over and the teacup in his hand almost slipped. The scalding tea splashed on his hand, but he was completely unaware.

He raised his head in horror, and his eyes met the bangs that rushed in. At that moment, he seemed to see the coming of death.

"You are such a hateful and heartless bastard Yi Zhonghai! You really should go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be able to be reborn!"

Liu Haizhong's eyes were wide open, and the blazing fire of anger was emitting from his wide eyes, which seemed to be able to burn Yi Zhonghai in front of him to ashes in an instant.

He took a fierce step towards Yi Zhonghai, stretched out his right index finger and pointed it directly at Yi Zhonghai's face. The fingertip was only a few centimeters away from Yi Zhonghai's face, as if he was going to pierce his hypocritical mask in the next second.

And every word that came out of Liu Hai's mouth was like something that had been pent up for a long time and was forced out from the narrow gap between his teeth, filled with uncontrollable resentment and hatred.

"Humph! In the morning, you actually dared to deny it and put on such a pitiful and completely innocent look to deceive everyone. But now? I have brought the witness here. With the evidence conclusive, I wonder what else you can say! Do you think you can deceive everyone and cover up everything?"

At this time, Liu Haizhong became more and more excited, his broad chest rose and fell violently with his rapid breathing, and his wheezing sounds were like bursts of thunder, which were particularly clear and loud in this quiet space, making people think of a ferocious lion in a furious state, roaring to the sky.

"Didn't you declare before that this matter had nothing to do with my son?"

The voice in Liu Haizhong became increasingly high-pitched and sharp, and when he said this, due to excessive anger, the blue veins on his neck suddenly bulged out, like a bunch of hideous and twisted green earthworms coiled on them.

"Well, today I want to see who will reveal his true colors here and who is the real culprit! I will make sure that you, a hypocritical hypocrite, will have nowhere to hide and show your true colors. I will see how you can still make sweet words and make excuses!"

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai caught a glimpse of Director Wang standing beside him. In an instant, he felt as if struck by lightning. His whole head buzzed and became blank in an instant, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

His eyes were filled with disbelief and extreme fear. His mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time, as if someone was strangling his throat.

"Why...why did you ask Director Wang to come here..."

Yi Zhonghai's lips trembled as he muttered to himself, and his body began to tremble slightly involuntarily, like a leaf shivering in the cold wind.

At this time, many neighbors had gathered in the yard. Seeing the tense scene in the house, they couldn't help but gasp. The atmosphere was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, ready to explode at any moment.

"What's going on?"

An old lady asked worriedly, her eyes revealing concern and uneasiness, and her hands were unconsciously twisted together.

"Yi Zhonghai, what on earth did you do?"

Xu Damao had a gloating expression on his face, and he was fanning the flames from the side, with malicious gleams in his eyes, as if he was watching a wonderful farce.

The third uncle frowned and said seriously, "Old Liu, if you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. Don't be impulsive. Impulsiveness won't solve the problem. Let's all calm down first."

When Liu Haizhong heard Yan Bugui's words, his anger suddenly burned even more fiercely, like a volcano about to erupt.

He turned his head suddenly, his eyes turned red due to congestion, and he glared at Yan Bugui fiercely, shouting: "Third Uncle, how can you be calm? That's my son, the son I raised with great difficulty, and he was tricked by Yi Zhonghai to go to such a far place in Heilongjiang Province! Can you understand my feelings as a father? If your son suffered this, would you still be so calm and talk nonsense here? Don't you feel any pain in your waist when you are talking without any pain!"

As Liu Haizhong spoke, he waved his arms excitedly, as if he wanted to express all the resentment in his heart through this body language.

His chest heaved violently, and his rapid breathing sounded like a bellows, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart.

"Do you know how hard I've been looking for her these days? I was so worried that I couldn't eat or sleep, and my hair turned a lot white. Yi Zhonghai, on the other hand, is still pretending to be innocent. He even swore in the morning that it had nothing to do with him. Has his conscience been eaten by a dog?"

Yi Zhonghai came to his senses at this moment, and a trace of panic flashed across his face, but he still pretended to be calm and tried to make a final struggle. He stammered and defended himself: "Old Liu, don't slander me, I... I really didn't do that. Even if someone signed in your name, how can it be me? This can't be empty talk! You can't wrongly accuse a good person!"

Liu Haizhong laughed out of anger, his laughter full of sarcasm and anger, "Still stubborn! Director Wang is right here, he can prove that the person who helped Guangqi write the application has the same features as you. And Cao Wei also saw you and Guangqi in the machinery factory, the evidence is all here, it's irrefutable, you still want to deny it? Do you think you can escape responsibility?"

Director Wang stepped forward and looked at Yi Zhonghai solemnly, his eyes revealing majesty and justice, and said, "Master Yi, now that things have come to this, don't quibble anymore. Master Liu asked me to come here in the hope of getting to the bottom of this matter."

"You signed in his place, causing Liu Guangqi to go to Heilongjiang Province. This has caused great harm to Liu Haizhong's family. You must give an explanation. You can't just let it go."
