Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

When Zhao De arrived at the fitter's workshop to report for duty, Yi Zhonghai was very happy to see him.

Zhao De's arrival made him feel good.

If I can take Zhao De as my apprentice, I will have hope for my later years.

Given Zhao De's current circumstances.

Not to mention that crippled Jia Dongxu, he is at least ten times better than Sha Zhu.

It seems he'll have to have a serious talk with Zhao De later.

We also need to help Zhao De vet Yu Li and see what kind of person she is.

Being too selfish won't work; then we need to reconsider the candidate.

If Zhao De could express his true thoughts at this moment.

They might not be able to resist stepping forward and slapping Yi Zhonghai.

That old guy is quick to calculate!

Soon after, Zhao De successfully took leave and arrived at the parking shed.

[Bicycle: Master, I'm so miserable! Someone bullied me, waaaaah... someone pulled out the valve core of my tire.]

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

When Zhao De got closer, he clearly saw that the valve core on the bicycle wheel had been pulled out.

The tire deflated, and anger welled up inside him.

"Who did this despicable thing?!"

He felt very aggrieved.

[Bicycle: It was that bastard Jia Dongxu. When he came to sweep the floor, he first cursed at you, then pulled out my valve core and threw it into the toilet.]

Zhao De was furious, but luckily he had the Personification of All Things Card today.

They immediately found out who was behind it all; otherwise, they would have suffered a complete loss in silence!

However, it's not enough for me to just know; it would be best if the security department could investigate and find out that Jia Dongxu was behind it.

So Zhao De asked:

Was he alone at the time? Was there anyone else standing next to him, or who witnessed him doing this nearby?

[Bicycle: There was a middle-aged woman sweeping the street about 50 meters away from me, with nothing between them. I noticed that she was looking in my direction.]

Zhao De nodded.

"That's enough."

Then, he pushed his bicycle to the security department.

Section Chief Yang, the head of the security department, was an old acquaintance of his.

Upon hearing Zhao De report this situation, they immediately showed that they took it very seriously.

In this day and age, the theft of tire valve cores is still a very serious matter.

Even if Zhao De chooses to call the police, the police will definitely handle the matter seriously.

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

Zhao De said bluntly:

“I think Jia Dongxu did this; I have a grudge against him.”

"And the area around the bicycle shed is the one he's responsible for cleaning."

"So he had both the motive and the means to commit the crime."

Section Chief Yang nodded and asked in return:

"Shall we go find him now?"

This comrade has captured enemy agents before, and he sounds very experienced in analyzing problems.

Therefore, he dared not let his guard down at all.

"He'll definitely not admit it; he's very stubborn!"

Zhao De shook his head.

"Here's what we'll do: you go tell the cleaning team."

"As long as someone can see with their own eyes who did it and is willing to come forward as a witness."

"I'll give you a 50-cent reward, and I'll pay for it myself."

Five cents isn't much.

But if we catch Jia Dongxu, even if he resolutely refuses to pay compensation.

These costs, along with the valve core fees, can be deducted directly from his salary.

Unless he chooses to resign, but that is almost impossible.

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

Chapter Thirty-Six: Advancing to Level Seven at a Young Age!

Jia Dongxu was resting in the cleaning team. He had finished his work for the morning and was now waiting for lunch.

"Listen up, everyone, I have something to say."

The security department acted swiftly, with Section Chief Yang and his men arriving at the scene in a flash. A round of applause immediately drew everyone's attention.

"Jia Dongxu, come here too!"

Section Chief Yang noticed that Jia Dongxu was hiding in a corner, lost in thought, so he quickly called him over.

"Here's what happened: this morning, one of my coworkers had the valve core pulled out of his bicycle."

"Aunties and grandmas here, if you see who did it, please provide me with the details and I will give you a reward of 50 cents."

As he spoke, Section Chief Yang paid special attention to Jia Dongxu's changing expressions.

Seeing the nervous and uneasy look on his face, I couldn't help but sneer to myself, it really was him!

Although 50 cents is not much, it is not a small amount for the cleaning ladies whose wages are already low.

Immediately, the older women started discussing it.

One of the older women seemed somewhat distracted, as if she was recalling what had just happened.

Not long after, the woman stepped forward resolutely, pointed at Jia Dongxu, and said firmly, "Section Chief Yang, I want to report this. It was Jia Dongxu who did it."

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't do it."

Jia Dongxu was extremely nervous at this moment and immediately retorted.

The woman knew he was being stubborn, so she recounted everything she had witnessed.

“I saw you walking towards the bicycles to clean them, but I didn’t think much of it at first.”

"But you've been sweeping there for ages, which makes me very suspicious..."

The woman's description was so detailed that many people present began to believe her and were ready to hear how Jia Dongxu would defend himself.

"me……"

"Wasn't that place too dirty? So isn't it normal for me to sweep it for a little longer?"

At this moment, Jia Dongxu's heart was pounding, and he was also regretting why he hadn't paid more attention to his surroundings.

Seeing that Jia Dongxu was still being stubborn, Director Yang sternly rebuked him, "Jia Dongxu, if you confess honestly now, we will treat you leniently."

"If you refuse to admit it no matter what, then we'll have to hand it over to the police."

"You don't want to go back inside either, do you?"

Director Yang's methods of intimidation were indeed clever, but the key point was his last sentence.

These words reminded Jia Dongxu of the miserable days he had spent in prison!

"I...I admit it, I did it."

Jia Dongxu instantly deflated, lowered his head, and drooped his face.

"Take him away."

Director Yang waved his hand, and several of his men immediately escorted the disheveled Jia Dongxu to the security department.

Zhao De, who had been waiting on the side, was also slightly surprised, not expecting it to be handled so quickly!

Zhao De had nothing to say to Jia Dongxu; he could just accept the compensation.

The security department then reported the matter up the chain of command, and Director Yang, who was in a meeting at the time, was furious when he learned of it.

But if Director Yang really wanted to fire Jia Dongxu, he would be reluctant, after all, it was a secure job for him.

Therefore, regarding the handling of Jia Dongxu, the factory decided to issue a factory-wide announcement: "Attention all workers, this is an announcement about a serious incident of retaliation."

"Jia Dongxu, a member of the cleaning team, was originally an apprentice in the second fitter workshop."
