Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

"But in order to serve as a warning, this punishment is the maximum penalty possible."

“Xu Damao, if you don’t accept it, you can go to the factory to reconsider after the New Year.”

"But I can't guarantee whether the factory's security department will continue to investigate at that time."

Xu Damao knew that this was the best result that Deputy Factory Director Li had managed to get for him, considering the gift Xu had given him earlier.

In fact, he had already prepared himself for being sent to a farm and dismissed this time, since it was a fact that he had acted like a hooligan towards Qin Huairu.

If the security department or the factory were determined to get rid of him, how could a mere projectionist like him possibly escape?

"It's easier for him."

When Yi Zhonghai's words reached He Yuzhu's ears, he nodded in agreement.

"The old man is right, this grandson got off easy."

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Sister Qin, why don't you pursue this matter? That bastard Xu Damao should be paraded through the streets with a placard hanging over his head!"

Just as Qin Huairu was about to speak, Yang Weimin spoke up from the side.

"You're Qin Huairu from Workshop Four?"

Qin Huairu stood up and responded.

"Officer Yang, this is Qin Huairu."

Yang Weimin took out another piece of paper from his bag.

"Since you're here, I'll also tell you about the factory's handling of your case."

Upon hearing that Qin Huairu was to be dealt with, He Yuzhu immediately forced himself to sit up and said.

"Sister Qin is a victim, why should she be punished?"

"You're ignoring Xu Damao, this scoundrel, and instead you're fixated on a woman. Is this how you do things?"

"If you push me too far, I'll go to the bureau or the ministry on New Year's Eve and stop the leaders' cars to complain about you."

Qin Huairu roughly guessed what Yang Weimin was going to say, and she quickly spoke up.

"Silly Zhu, don't talk nonsense!"

He Yuzhu acted as if he were the most important person in the world.

"Sister Qin, don't be afraid. I've been fired twice already, what do I have to be afraid of?"

"I'm not a worker at the steel mill anymore, let's see what they can do to me now!"

Yi Zhonghai also had his own guesses. Given Qin Huairu's stubborn nature of not letting go until she saw the benefit, how could she possibly let Xu Damao off so easily?

She must have gotten something better out of Xu Damao, he thought, tugging at He Yuzhu's shoulder.

“Zhu Zi, don’t be impulsive, let Officer Yang finish speaking first.”

Yang Weimin smiled.

"He Yuzhu, I've only been at the factory for a month."

“I remember the first time I heard your name was when Director Wang asked Section Chief Cao about the rumors that you had an improper relationship with Qin Huairu.”

"At the time, Section Chief Cao praised Qin Huairu to Director Wang, feeling that the rumors were unbelievable."

"Today is our first formal meeting, and at this moment I feel that Section Chief Cao is really tolerant of you."

"Given how you stood up for someone just now, and the reasons for your two fights, anyone would probably think that your relationship is not normal."

Before He Yuzhu could even speak, Yang Weimin interrupted him.

"Alright, I don't want to pry into what's between you two."

After saying that, he looked at Qin Huairu.

"Qin Huairu has technical deficiencies in her fitter position in the fourth workshop. After investigation, it was found that Qin Huairu's technical level is indeed not suitable for her to continue working in the fourth workshop."

[In accordance with the personnel management regulations of the steel rolling mill, Qin Huairu has been dismissed from her post in Workshop 4, and her personnel file has been transferred to the Logistics Department as a regular employee in the Sanitation Section, responsible for cleaning the staff canteen in the East District.]

"Alright, that's the factory's decision regarding the three of you."

"If you have any opinions, you can go to the factory office or the personnel department to report to the leaders."

At this point, Yang Weimin looked at Xu Fugui standing to the side.

"You are Xu Damao's father, Xu Fugui, right?"

Xu Fugui nodded with a smile.

"Yes, Officer Yang, I am Xu Fugui."

Yang Weimin said.

“We have found that you falsified your personal medical records, improperly processed your medical retirement, and are suspected of misappropriating shared property.”

"So, please come with us to the steel rolling mill."

As soon as he finished speaking, two security guards walked in and immediately took Xu Fugui into custody.

"Officer Yang, my dad is really sick. Is there some misunderstanding here?"

Yang Weimin looked at Xu Damao and said.

"Whether your father is really sick or not, we will investigate carefully when we get back. You don't need to worry about that. You should focus on getting better."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the security guards escorted Xu Fugui out of the ward.

"Alright, everything's done. I should head back and report now. I won't disturb your rest any longer."

Yang Weimin is gone, but the atmosphere in the ward remains somewhat eerie.

Qin Huairu, He Yuzhu, and Yi Zhonghai exchanged glances, a glint of light flashing in their eyes.

This Cao Xu is truly a "sister-protecting maniac." Xu Fugui only said a few extra words yesterday, and today he has him arrested.

Everyone says that Sha Zhu is vindictive, but compared to this guy, Sha Zhu really has to admit defeat.

At most, Sha Zhu would just hit or curse people, but Cao Xu really went all out.

Now all we can do is pray that Xu Fugui isn't faking illness; otherwise, the Xu family might have a tough year ahead.

Xu Damao watched helplessly as his father was arrested by the security department, and he roared in a low voice with red eyes.

"Cao Xu, you're too ruthless!"

But he could only talk about it; the situation was beyond his control.

Nowadays, Xu Damao is just an ordinary worker, and he is no match for Cao Xu, the deputy head of the security department.

However, he harbored resentment and would definitely take revenge on Cao Xu if given the chance.

(Author's note: Don't worry, you won't have that chance.)

........................................................................

After going downstairs, Yang Weimin walked towards a small restaurant near the hospital entrance and went straight to Cao Xu's table.

"Section Chief Cao, the matter has been taken care of, and Xu Fugui has been taken away by someone."

Cao Xu put down his chopsticks and said.

"Officer Yang, thank you for your help today."

Yang Weimin waved his hand and said.

"Section Chief Cao, you're too kind. Your business is my business. Just let me know if you need anything in the future."

“As long as it is something I, Yang Weimin, can do, I will not hesitate.”

Cao Xu smiled.

"Now I finally understand why Uncle Wang chose you as his secretary. Come on, have something to eat."

"Order whatever you like. It's on me today, so don't be shy."

Yang Weimin glanced at the menu on the wall and said.

"Section Chief Cao, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'm starving."

He Yushui watched the conversation between the two without saying anything, and continued eating the rice in her bowl.

After the meal, Yang Weimin left and returned to the steel rolling mill. Cao Xu raised his hand to check the time on his watch and said...

"It's about time, let's set off."

He Yushui pursed her lips.

"Cao Xu, I'm still a little scared."

Cao Xu smiled.

"We're going to see your father, what are you afraid of?"

"No matter how you look at it, your dad wronged you first, and you did nothing wrong."

“Your brother is in such a big situation now, it wouldn’t be right not to tell him.”

"Go see him and tell him everything you need to say. If he comes back with you, that would be even better, and your family can be reunited."
