Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

Banggeng got to know Zhou Jin through someone else, and invited him to seek advice. Before the two of them could say a few words, Yi Zhonghai came, so Zhou Jin had no idea why Banggeng asked him to come.

When Banggeng heard Yi Zhonghai's question, his expression tensed and he looked at Zhou Jin nervously.

Zhou Jin is over seventy years old. Born in the last century, he knew at a glance that Bang Geng and Yi Zhonghai were not on good terms. On the contrary, there must be some conflicts between them.

Zhou Jin smiled faintly and said, "This kid wants to learn a craft from me. I just came to see his qualifications."

Yi Zhonghai said with a smile: "This kid, if you want to learn a skill, I'm already there. Why are you looking for something far away?"

"Haha, if I knew you were here, I wouldn't have made this trip. You are the best craftsman among the group of people I taught. After so many years, you must have become an eighth-level worker."

"You are so good at recognizing talent. Not long after you left, I took the eighth level exam and passed it successfully. In the end, it's all because of your good teaching."

Zhou Jin stroked his beard and said, "This is because you have high aptitude and strong comprehension, otherwise you would not have reached the eighth level."

Yi Zhonghai said, "You are half my teacher. It's not easy to meet you. I'm hosting you today. How about going to my house? Bang Geng, you can come too. It's hard for a kid like you to start a fire."

Bang Geng frowned as he listened. He had spent his own money to invite Zhou Jin here. Now he was being abducted by Yi Zhonghai without even asking this question. Wouldn't that be a loss?

He was about to say something when Zhou Jin waved his hand and declined.

"Forget it. I have an appointment with someone tonight. I just came here to check out Banggeng's qualifications. Let's have a drink together another day."

When Yi Zhonghai saw this, he knew that the other party had ordered him to leave, so he stopped staying.

"Okay then. I'll be leaving first. Bang Geng, learn from Master Zhou in the future. He is a rare and good master."

Banggeng nodded coldly, as if he didn't want to waste time talking to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care and turned around and walked out.

Seeing him walking away, Banggeng immediately kicked the cornmeal that Yi Zhonghai brought from the ground into the garbage pile by the wall, seeming to be very disgusted.

Zhou Jin, who was standing by, had already seen through Bang Geng's thoughts. Not many people would feel so resentful towards Yi Zhonghai at such a young age.

"Bang Geng, this is cornmeal. Even if you don't like Yi Zhonghai, you can't waste the food."

Although it was the first time Zhou Jin saw Bang Geng, he had never seen such a mature child.

Talking to him felt like talking to an adult, which was quite novel.

It is said that children from poor families grow up early, but few people know that children who are poor and have no relatives grow up even earlier.

Bang Geng said coldly: "I'm afraid the food he gave me is poisonous. I don't feel safe eating it."

Zhou Jin was shocked when he heard this. How could a child in his early ten years old say such a thing?

Bang Geng waved his hand and said, "You don't have to doubt it. I have been poisoned by him. He is the most sinister person in our hospital. He is a family with no descendants. His brain is not in good shape now."

Zhou Jin widened his eyes in disbelief when he heard this.

"I was wondering why you were so hostile to him. So that's the case. Besides, he's a dead end. I never expected that."

Banggeng looked outside, especially towards Yi Zhonghai's house, and found nothing unusual, so he spoke in a low voice.

"Master Zhou, I asked you to come here to ask you a few questions. Could you help me?"

Zhou Jin nodded and said, "Don't worry, since I'm here, I will answer any questions you have."

He paid a full fifty dollars before deciding to come, otherwise he would not have been willing to make such a long trip in person.

Even for the sake of the fifty dollars, he had to stand on Banggeng's side.

Bang Geng didn't hesitate and asked immediately: "Master Zhou, my grandmother died of gas poisoning. I want to ask if an eighth-level fitter can make a gap in the chimney without it looking like it was caused by someone else."

He had thought it through beforehand and felt that what Cao Xing said was right. How could such a coincidence happen?

He and Jia Zhang both fell into a coma after eating the food sent by Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai had the time and motivation to do all this.

It’s just that he didn’t understand the technical matters, so he specifically asked Zhou Jin, who was also an eighth-level worker, for help.

Although Zhou Jin's hands and feet are not as agile as before, his vision and theoretical knowledge are still there, and should be no less than that of Yi Zhonghai.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jin immediately understood what Bang Geng meant and his expression became serious.

"You mean Yi Zhonghai designed to harm your grandmother?"

Bang Geng didn't hide anything and nodded directly, "That's right. You just need to tell me whether an eighth-level fitter can fake this as an accident."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jin was fully aware of the possible consequences of his words and did not dare to speak out loud.

I saw him walk to the chimney in the house and look at it carefully.

He obviously has never done such a thing, so he needs to think about it carefully.

After a while, Zhou Jincai said, "It's easy to break it, but it's hard to fake natural traces. I have no experience, so I can only see the real thing first."

Although Zhou Jin didn't say it explicitly, Bang Geng understood it.

This eighth-level fitter does have this ability!

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I need you to see the real thing tonight. My father and grandfather were both fitters. They both died on machines. I want to ask you if someone tampered with the machine, would that person be sucked into the machine?"

"This……"

Zhou Jin originally thought that Bang Geng had asked him to come in order to make something or ask him to do something, but he didn't expect that the questions this kid asked were all about the dead.

The most important thing is that the criticism is directed at Yi Zhonghai. If he gives the wrong answer, no one knows what will happen.

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Bang Geng immediately said, "Master Zhou, this is a matter of great importance to my Jia family. I hope you can tell me the truth."

Seeing this, Zhou Jin could only say truthfully: "It's hard to say. It depends on the other person's skill level, work habits and state. I can only say that if the two people are complete strangers, the probability of this happening is very low."

Bang Geng sneered when he heard this.

"Haha, this means that if the two people know each other and are very familiar with each other, with Yi Zhonghai's technical level, this is entirely possible, right?"

He didn't know the relationship between his grandfather and Yi Zhonghai, but his father was Yi Zhonghai's apprentice, and Yi Zhonghai knew him well both in terms of techniques and habits.

Therefore, if Yi Zhonghai wants to harm Jia Dongxu, he is fully capable of doing so.

When it was evening and the people from the steel mill came back from get off work, Bang Geng immediately took Zhou Jin to Qin Huairu's house.

Looking at his mother who was getting younger and more beautiful, Banggeng felt a little uncomfortable.

This woman happened to return to her parents' home when her grandmother died, so she escaped the disaster and is now living a more and more comfortable life.

Qin Huairu was not surprised to see him, as if she knew he was coming.

"Jia Geng, what are you doing here?"

Bang Geng suppressed his anger in his heart. This woman has Cao Xing's support behind her, so he can't afford to offend her now.

"I came here just to be the chimney that my grandma used to have when she got into trouble."

Qin Huairu had already been informed of the details by Cao Xing. She was not flustered when she heard it. She directly took out a bag from the cabinet, which contained several cylindrical sections of iron sheets.

"That's it, Jia Geng, don't bother me no matter what happens next."

Bang Geng took it and without saying anything, he took Zhou Jin back to his room.
