Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Seeing Yi Zhonghai being arrested by the Security Department, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi, who were not far away, also panicked.

In their eyes, Yi Zhonghai is the Jia family's cash cow.

If something happened to Yi Zhonghai, the Jia family's cash cow would be gone, and they would definitely return to their previous hard life.

After the two men looked at each other, Qin Huairu rushed out first, and knelt down in front of Director Li, begging for mercy with a sad face.

"lead……"

"My man must be old and confused, so he said the wrong thing. Please be magnanimous and forgive him. If you arrest him, how will I live?"

At this point, Qin Huairu, with tears and snot, knelt down and walked to Director Li's feet, hugged one of his legs and continued crying.

"lead……"

"My family depends on Lao Yi to earn money at the steel mill to support the family..."

"If you take him away, I won't be able to survive."

"Please forgive him this time."

"I promise that Lao Yi will only do his job at the steel mill and never talk nonsense again."

Seeing Qin Huairu's desperate look, as if she would die in front of him if he really captured Yi Zhonghai, Director Li's face turned ugly again.

With so many people watching around, he didn't want rumors to spread at the steel mill tomorrow that he had forced orphans and widows to death.

Although he really wanted to teach Yi Zhonghai a lesson, for the sake of his own future and reputation, he sighed and replied, "Forget it..."

"Since your wife begged for mercy, I will spare you this time..."

"Yi Zhonghai..."

"I hope you remember the lesson today and never be so self-righteous and speak nonsense again in the future."

"Be careful what you say."

"Yi Zhonghai quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at Director Li with a lingering fear, and replied: "Please rest assured, Director, I will definitely not speak nonsense in the future."

After dealing with Yi Zhonghai, the troublemaker, Director Li decisively turned his attention to Captain Zhou and asked seriously, "I just heard from Yi Zhonghai that you came to investigate after receiving Wang Dong's report letter."

At this time, Captain Zhou had already realized that something was wrong from Director Li's angry scolding.

Just now, Yi Zhonghai was clearly speaking for him, helping the action team out of trouble, and taking the opportunity to protect Director Li's prestige in the steel mill. However, Director Li did not appreciate it, and instead looked like he was going to punish Yi Zhonghai.

When Captain Zhou heard Director Li asking him about the letter of complaint, no matter how dumb he was, he knew that the letter of complaint in his hand was not as simple as he imagined.

Maybe you have already participated in some fights without realizing it.

Frightened, he didn't dare to hide anything and immediately answered, "Director..."

"I received a letter of complaint about Wang Dong, saying that Director Wang embezzled workers' food expenses while he was the head of the kitchen. I was so angry that I came to investigate."

After saying that, he handed the letter of complaint to Director Li.

After receiving the letter of complaint, Director Li's brows furrowed into a big "川" shape just after reading half of it.

Director Li didn't know whether there was any other conspiracy behind this letter of complaint, whether it was directed at Wang Dong alone, or whether the author wanted to use Wang Dong to bring himself down.

But Director Li knew one thing very clearly. No matter if there was any other conspiracy behind this letter of complaint, he had to investigate it thoroughly, otherwise he might be taken away from his position as director of the steel mill one day.

As the saying goes, it is easier to avoid an open attack than to guard against an arrow from the dark. I must try my best to find the mastermind behind this matter and confirm whether someone is targeting me and investigating me.

Captain Zhou saw that Director Li's face was getting uglier and uglier, and he became more and more certain of his previous thoughts: the letter of complaint he received was not as simple as he had imagined, and there must be a deeper struggle hidden behind it. It was possible that he, the captain of the action team, was being used as a gun.

He immediately stood up and said, "Director..."

"This letter of complaint was forwarded to me by Bang Geng."

"It must be Bang Geng who wants to slander Director Wang. I suggest that Bang Geng be arrested immediately and the matter be investigated thoroughly."

Director Li didn't even raise his head and ordered directly: "Then what are you waiting for?"

"Director Wang works diligently as the kitchen manager of the steel mill."

"During the difficult period, workers in other factories in the city had to work on an empty stomach due to food shortages. Only our steel rolling mill, with the efforts of Director Wang, did everything possible to prevent people from going hungry."

"Director Wang also formulated various rules and regulations in the kitchen of the steel mill to prevent others from embezzling workers' rations and shaking the spoons for workers. He tried every means to ensure that the workers in the steel mill had good food and enough to eat."

"The steel mill kitchen has been praised by the superiors for several consecutive years, and has become the envy of many factories in the whole city."

"You don't know..."

"Many factories in the city of Beijing offered Comrade Wang Dong the position of deputy factory director, hoping to transfer him away, but he refused all of them."

"Such a good comrade was slandered for corruption."

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated for me."

"If the action team can't find out the truth, I'll ask the security department to do it."

Seeing Director Li come up and finish speaking for Wang Dong, even though the action team was formed by Director Li himself, he still started cursing. Captain Zhou was more certain that he was caught up in a higher-level struggle in the steel mill.

In this situation, the easiest way to reduce responsibility is to portray yourself as a victim.

He immediately signaled to his two trusted aides to control the stick...

"Report to the leader... We found a letter on Banggeng..." A confidant suddenly took the letter that Banggeng was going to use to frame Wang Dong and reported to Captain Zhou and Director Li.

Captain Zhou knew the contents of the letter very well, because he was the one who forged it.

They planned to put the money in when everyone was searching Wang Dong's room, and then have someone search it out, so as to provide evidence of Wang Dong's crime of embezzlement in the kitchen of the steel mill.

The action team has not entered Wang Dong's house yet, but they have found evidence of Wang Dong's corruption in the kitchen from Bang Geng. Even a fool would know that someone wants to take the opportunity to frame Wang Dong.

Director Li was fully aware of the methods used by the action team to slander people and knew that the letter was most likely forged by the action team.

But he wanted to know more about where the report letter in his hand came from. In addition, the report letter and the evidence that framed Wang Dong were all related to Bang Geng. Looking at Bang Geng, who was being controlled by someone and had a terrified face, he snorted and cursed.

"OK……"

"First, send a letter of denunciation to the action team, and then hide evidence to slander Director Wang. When we enter Director Wang's home to search, we plan to frame someone else and then establish evidence of Director Wang's corruption. By then, Director Wang will not be able to clear himself even if he jumps into the Yellow River."

"I never thought that there would be such a vicious person in our steel mill." (End of this chapter)
