Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Seeing that Director Li had transferred his anger from himself to Bang Geng, Captain Zhou felt very fortunate, knowing that his bet on portraying himself as a victim was correct. He immediately assured Director Li with an indignant expression.

"This guy Banggeng is too much. He even deceived me, the captain of the action team."

"Please give me another chance, Director. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Slandering the leader is a serious crime..."

"If Bang Geng is the culprit, I will definitely send him in and give Director Wang an explanation."

Seeing that the action team had arrested Bang Geng and collected things from him that were unfavorable to him, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu, who had just calmed down, became panicked again.

And it was even more panic-stricken than when Yi Zhonghai was arrested just now.

Although Yi Zhonghai is a cash cow for both of them, he is an outsider after all.

If they were really caught, the two of them would have a hard life, but at least the Jia family would still have hope.

Banggeng is different. He is the biological son and grandson of two people, and shoulders the important responsibility of carrying on the Jia family's bloodline.

If he had an accident here, the Jia family would have no future.

An anxious Jia Zhang rushed out of the crowd, lying on the ground and started to make a scene: "Why did you arrest my grandson?"

"Bang Geng is the only grandson of my Jia family. You can't arrest them."

"Dongxu, Laojia... come up quickly..."

"The only grandson of the Jia family is about to be captured."

"Now that you've left, you all want to come to the Jia family to bully us orphans and widows. Come up and take them all away..."

Jia Zhang's tantrums could only scare the neighbors in the courtyard, but she was no different from a clown in front of the fully armed security department.

The head of the security department who led the team stood up and cursed: "Where did this old woman come from? How dare you promote feudal superstition in front of the leaders? You simply don't take our security department seriously."

"Today I must take you to the security department's small dark room and make sure you never dare to promote feudal superstition in front of outsiders again."

"What are you still standing there for? Catch this old woman who promotes feudal superstition and shut her up."

Jia Zhang was confused.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not respond to his throwing tantrums at all and just came up to arrest him.

He quickly begged for mercy: "I won't promote feudal superstition anymore, please don't arrest me..."

Seeing that the two security officers didn't respond at all, they carried him out of the door, one on each side. They found a piece of rag from somewhere and were about to stuff it into his mouth.

Jia Zhang became even more panicked and quickly called out to Qin Huairu, "Huairu...save mom."

"I don't want to go to the security department's small dark room..."

"Go and beg the leader... wuwuwu..."

Before she could finish her words, Jia Zhang's mouth was blocked by a rag and she could only make a "wuwu" sound.

Looking at Jia Zhang who was about to be taken away, Qin Huairu didn't want to speak, but he had to stand up.

Judging from the current situation, Beng Geng will definitely be taken away.

If Jia Zhang was also arrested by the Security Department, it would be a real disgrace to the Jia family today. They can only settle for the second best and save as many people as possible.

He knelt down in front of Director Li again, hugged one of his legs, and cried, "Leader... my mother-in-law is old and confused... she was too anxious when she saw her grandson being arrested, so she said those nonsense. She didn't want to promote feudal superstition. Please be magnanimous and let her go..."

"Why is it you again..." Director Li was shocked when he saw Qin Huairu appearing in front of him again. He asked back with wide eyes and a look of disbelief.

How come all the people who got into trouble in such a big yard were related to Qin Huairu? Wang Dong smiled and said, "Director..."

"The old lady who was just caught by the security department is Jia Zhang, Bang Geng's grandmother."

"The person in front of you is Qin Huairu, Banggeng's biological mother..."

"Master Yi is not only Bang Geng's stepfather, but also Bang Geng's master and Qin Huairu's husband."

"Oh right... I forgot Master Yi's other identity."

"If I remember correctly, Master Yi was the master of Qin Huairu's previous husband."

Director Li was dumbfounded and shocked for a while before he reacted: "What a messed up relationship this is."

"Qin Huairu married the master of her last husband... Aren't there generations between them?"

"No wonder Master Yi kept urging me to agree to the action team's investigation of Director Wang."

"Now I understand everything."

"Bang Geng directed and acted out a play, trying to use the action team to slander Director Wang, but he failed to do so and was blocked by Director Wang."

"Comrade Yi Zhonghai, as Bang Geng's stepfather, decided to lend a hand, so he ignored the facts. He knew that doing so violated factory rules and regulations, but he still kept encouraging me to agree to the action team's investigation of Director Wang."

"It seems that I released Yi Zhonghai too early."

"At first I thought he really just said something wrong."

"It seems that he still has an unclear relationship with Banggeng's slander of Director Wang."

"What are the action team still doing?"

"Since Zhou Jiandong wants to investigate the slander against Director Wang, then you must investigate thoroughly and not let any of the people behind this go."

"Take Yi Zhonghai away from me as well..."

"If anyone tries to stop us, the security department will be responsible for arresting them and putting them in a small dark room for two days."

Yi Zhonghai's mood today was like riding a roller coaster.

It was full of ups and downs, sometimes he breathed a sigh of relief, sometimes he was nervous, and sometimes he looked solemn.

When he heard that Director Li had decided to have someone arrest him, he felt panic and regret.

If he had known that Wang Dong was so difficult to deal with, and that even Director Li was on Wang Dong's side, and that Director Li and Wang Dong had not broken up as he had imagined before, he would not have planned to use the action team to deal with Wang Dong.

Now even I am trapped in it.

Now he had only one thought in his mind: Bang Geng must hold on and not involve himself in the matter of framing Wang Dong, otherwise he would definitely face another severe punishment.

He has now been demoted to a third-level fitter by the steel mill. If he continues to be demoted, he will become a first-level fitter, and his monthly salary will drop sharply to 27.5 yuan per month.

By then, not to mention retirement, even our current life will become tight again.

However, he obviously overestimated Banggeng's level of confidentiality and ability.

Banggeng was lucky enough to inherit the selfish character of Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu.

Faced with the choice between his future and keeping a secret, he chose his future without hesitation.

In his eyes, even though Yi Zhonghai was his stepfather and had married his biological mother and became a family, he was still an outsider. No matter how he analyzed it, his future was not as good as his own. (End of this chapter)
