Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Director Yang immediately ordered He Yuzhu to be taken away.

"Hand him over to the police station..."

He Yuzhu has completely shot himself in the foot.

But Li Jianjun always felt that things wouldn't be that simple.

"Those street thugs, you called them over, didn't you? Do you know their names? Where do they live?"

This involves Li Jianjun and his team's subsequent arrest operation.

Without accurate location information, people might run away at the first sign of trouble.

"Yes, I came here myself. I found them at the pigeon market and didn't know their names or home addresses."

Li Jianjun countered with a question.

"Silly Zhu, someone with your intelligence couldn't have come up with such a sophisticated crime. Tell me, who else is your accomplice?"

The first person that popped into Sha Zhu's mind was Yi Zhonghai.

But remembering how kind and affectionate Yi Zhonghai had always been to her, she told herself that she absolutely must not expose the old man.

"No, these were all my own ideas; no one else was involved."

“I hate you, Li Jianjun, that’s why I deliberately let others steal things from our factory during the Safe Production Month.”

"If the higher-ups blame you, they'll definitely make an example of you."

"Li Jianjun, don't be so smug. You got away with it this time, but next time, you won't be so lucky."

Despite the facts being clearly established, Sha Zhu remained relentless in his pursuit of Li Jianjun.

This attitude immediately angered Director Yang.

"Even after all this, you still don't know how to repent. He Yuzhu is truly a leopard that can't change its spots."

Chapter 155 Yi Zhonghai's Divine Move

Factory Director Yang was furious; Sha Zhu was completely unreasonable.

"Ma Sijiu, take Sha Zhu straight to the police station..."

Just as Director Yang announced that Sha Zhu would be kicked out of the factory and never be allowed to return to Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

A voice sounded at the door.

"Director Yang, He Yuzhu deserves what he got. He should be taken to the police station."

This person was none other than Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was naturally afraid that Sha Zhu would expose him, so he eavesdropped outside the whole time.

Seeing that Sha Zhu had finally held on and saved himself, Yi Zhonghai also wanted to protect Sha Zhu's job at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

He knew Director Yang's temper; if he pleaded for leniency directly, it would only make Sha Zhu's death even more miserable.

It would be better to go along with what Director Yang wants to say.

Factory Director Yang glanced at Yi Zhonghai with mixed feelings; Yi Zhonghai was one of the few level-eight fitters in their factory.

Although he doesn't hold a high position now, he still has a certain level of prestige in the factory.

Factory Director Yang naturally couldn't refuse him.

"Old Yi, you've come at the right time. Look at the young people these days, each generation is worse than the last."

“We, the old employees of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, have dedicated our lives to the mill. How can we compare to these young people who act recklessly?”

Yi Zhonghai took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes and handed it directly to Director Yang, with no intention of taking it back.

When offering a cigarette to an ordinary person, one is enough.

Yi Zhonghai had also considered giving Director Yang a gift, but Director Yang would not accept it in public.

A pack of cigarettes was the best standard. Sure enough, in his anger, Director Yang took the cigarettes, took one out, and smoked it. He then naturally put the cigarettes in his pocket.

It wasn't that he was greedy; it was just a habit he had when he was angry and confused.

"That's right, Director Yang is right. These young people are all very arrogant."

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai gave Li Jianjun a meaningful look, but the latter didn't even glance at him.

"Zhu Zi, did you hear that? You've really gone too far this time. Hurry up and beg Director Yang for leniency."

Sha Zhu understood perfectly, but unfortunately, he was too stubborn to swallow his pride and plead for leniency.

This is the characteristic of stubborn people; even if they are fired and lose their jobs, they are unwilling to say nice things about others.

Yi Zhonghai pointed his finger directly at Sha Zhu's forehead.

"You stubborn bastard."

"Director Yang, Sha Zhu isn't unaware of his mistakes, it's just that I've watched this kid grow up since he was little, and he's very stubborn."

"When his father passed away, he didn't shed a single tear."

Yi Zhonghai roughly described a stubborn and foolish character.

Yi Zhonghai's appearance greatly reduced Director Yang's anger.

"Ma Sijiu, take him away..."

Yi Zhonghai knew that this was already the best possible outcome.

...

Inside the police station, Sha Zhu, who had been brought inside, hung his head, but was indignant inside.

"It's all because of that damned Li Jianjun who ruined my plans."

"I wanted to teach him a lesson, but he turned the tables on me and made me look bad in front of so many people. This is too damn hard to swallow."

"Just wait, Li Jianjun. Sooner or later, I'll make you taste my power."

This reminded me of Yi Zhonghai. Sha Zhu thought Yi Zhonghai would speak well of him, but in front of so many people, he colluded with Director Yang.

It's such a waste that Sha Zhu took such good care of Yi Zhonghai and his wife before.

You expect me to support you in your old age? Support your sister in your old age?

The simple-minded Sha Zhu naturally couldn't see through Yi Zhonghai's thoughts.

"I'm so loyal to you, I didn't betray you, and you're not even speaking up for me. Fine, you're heartless, so don't blame me for being unjust."

Sha Zhu immediately decided that he would implicate Yi Zhonghai during the interrogation.

……

Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

After dealing with Sha Zhu's matter, Yi Zhonghai stood there and chatted with Director Yang for a while.

As expected of the old fox Yi Zhonghai, he casually chatted with Director Yang for a few minutes, uttered a few flattering words, and made Director Yang feel much better.

"Old Yi, our era is over. Now it's all up to the young people."

"If our Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is to prosper, we must cultivate the younger generation well."

"Let's not talk about others, just take Li Jianjun for example. This young Li is very capable at such a young age. The key is that he is only 21 years old."

"He Yuzhu is already 28 years old, and he's not even as good as some young guy..."

Director Yang's words implied that he was praising Li Jianjun to the skies.

Yi Zhonghai was stunned. He had thought that this incident would make Director Yang have a bad impression of Li Jianjun.

It seems the work is still not done well enough.

"Yes, Comrade Li is making great strides lately. He became a section chief at such a young age. Given time, his future is limitless."

In front of Director Yang, Yi Zhonghai could not afford to give himself away, so he praised Li Jianjun to the skies.

"Yes, yes. Master Yi, you should go back first. I need to report this to the higher-ups."

Factory Director Yang withdrew his gaze, seemingly deep in thought, and Yi Zhonghai tactfully withdrew.

After leaving Director Yang and Li Jianjun, Yi Zhonghai was making plans as he walked.

"The way I treated Sha Zhu just now will probably cause this kid to misunderstand."

“If this hothead gets impatient, he’s capable of anything. We need to keep a close eye on this backyard.”

Yi Zhonghai decided to go to the police station at noon to calm down this hotheaded fool.

Before I knew it, it was 11:30, lunchtime.

Yi Zhonghai took off his work clothes, put on his casual clothes, and rode his bicycle to the Hongqi Road Police Station.

At this time, Sha Zhu's criminal status had not yet been determined, and he was not considered a serious offender, so Yi Zhonghai easily met him.

But as soon as Sha Zhu saw Yi Zhonghai, he wanted to spit in Yi Zhonghai's face, but Yi Zhonghai scolded him.

"Silly Zhu, you really are a silly Zhu."

Whether in private or in public, Yi Zhonghai never called He Yuzhu "Silly Zhu".

"You don't even say a good word for me, I'd be spitting on you if you did."

Sha Zhu tried to struggle to get up from the stool, but he was still in shackles.

"You're such an idiot! Think about it, Director Yang was furious at the time. If I had pleaded for you, would he have listened to me?"

"Given your appalling behavior back then, my pleading for you would only hasten your removal from the steel mill by Director Yang."

"Luckily, I did the opposite, otherwise Director Yang would have done that. It's one thing for you not to be grateful, but you even want to spit on me. You're like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not knowing a good heart."

Yi Zhonghai was furious.

He was a moral exemplar in the courtyard house, always speaking slowly and deliberately, and never swearing.

This person is truly enraged.
