Courtyard House: They all say I'm a good person

Chapter 158 A person with a mental illness!

"I'm not!"

"I don't!"

"I also want to earn money honestly, but I can't earn that much!"

Zhao Chengliang cried.

He had worked in a factory, but only as an apprentice for three years. That little money wasn't enough to support his family.

He wanted to be a good person, but he had to ensure his family's survival.

"Are you still feeling wronged?"

"Even if you've gone astray due to the pressures of life, tell me, what does that have to do with you assaulting the cook at our steel mill?"

"Who told him to want to marry Xiaomiao?"

Zhao Chengliang's expression turned ferocious again. "Xiao Miao can only be my wife. My mother likes her very much, and my younger siblings all like her too!"

"My whole family is overjoyed that she's my daughter-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhishou understood that this person was indeed extremely selfish and single-minded.

It's likely that Miao Yizi had other suitors before she met Sha Zhu, but Zhao Chengliang ruined all of them!

"Brother Lu, this guy looks hopeless!"

Shen Zhishou looked at Lu Nengsheng, who smiled and said, "I think so too. We need to investigate this thoroughly!"

Lu Nengsheng's ideas were more extreme than Shen Zhishou's.

In his opinion, neither of these brothers were good people.

The older brother was reckless and unruly, while the younger brother was even more ruthless, directly wielding a knife against Shen Zhishou. If Shen Zhishou hadn't reacted quickly enough, something terrible would have happened today.

Shen Zhishou is currently being trained by Lu Nengsheng. If something happens to Shen Zhishou, he will definitely be held responsible.

The two men quickly brought Zhao Chengliang and his younger brother Zhao Chengcai back to the security department of the steel rolling mill.

"Chief, we've found out! It was these two scoundrels who did it!"

"That little brat even used a knife!"

Lu Nengsheng gave a detailed account of what happened, without admitting to any embezzlement or misappropriation of any credit.

After listening to Lu Nengsheng's report, Sun Lide's gaze swept over the faces of the two Zhao brothers who had been brought back, and finally settled on Shen Zhishou's face.

"Little Shen, not bad!"

Keep it up!

At that moment, Sun Lide's hostility towards Shen Zhishou dissipated, and his gaze towards him held a hint of approval.

Shen Zhishou sensed the change in Sun Lide's emotions and understood why Sun Lide had previously been unfriendly to him and even harbored some hostility. After all this time, it turned out that Sun Lide looked down on him as a relative.

Okay, he definitely has connections!

After all, his transfer to the security department was orchestrated by Lan Ninghui.

Although I don't know what Lan Ninghui did, the fact that he was able to be transferred from the transportation department to the security department must have been due to connections.

Fortunately, he does have some skills.

At this moment, Cao Zijian and Zheng Yaoguang also came to agree with Shen Zhishou.

The security department has encountered many cases of people being secretly beaten with sticks or sacks, but very few of them have been solved.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhishou actually managed to break one!

"Sir, these two brothers are likely repeat offenders!"

Lu Nengsheng then reiterated Zhao Chengliang's theory.

Upon hearing Lu Nengsheng's explanation, everyone was speechless. This man was only alive because he lived in the new society; if it had been in the past, he would definitely have become a bully.

Even in the new society, this person still didn't learn well.

"Then please go and investigate again, and make sure you get to the bottom of it!"

Sun Lide once again assigned the task to Lu Nengsheng and Shen Zhishou.

Then, the two found Miao Yizi and asked her about the gay man she had previously been interested in.

After Shen Zhishou and Lu Nengsheng visited each of them and confirmed that all of these people had been beaten after meeting Miao Yizi, the worst one had his leg broken.

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

When Lu Nengsheng handed all the written materials to Sun Lide, he saw Sun Lide slam his fist on the table.

Among the victims, besides Sha Zhu, who worked at the steel mill, there were two other people who were harmed after meeting Miao Yizi.

Sun Lide took the relevant materials directly to see Chen Jimin, the head of the security department.

"Send him to the Municipal Public Security Bureau. In this situation, target practice isn't necessary, but going to the Northwest shouldn't be a problem!"

After reviewing the relevant materials, Chen Jimin gave direct instructions.

This guy's behavior is not just bad, it's downright insane.

"Section Chief, this Xiao Shen is quite capable. This time, our Public Security Office has a real talent!"

Sun Lide recognized Shen Zhishou's merits and naturally wanted to help Shen Zhishou claim credit.

Chen Jimin glanced at Sun Lide and said, "I didn't realize this Shen Zhishou had some skills; he got your approval so easily!"

"Section Chief, Xiao Shen earned this recognition through his own abilities!"

"Alright!"

Chen Jimin waved his hand, "It's his credit; he deserves all the credit!"

"Thank you, Section Chief!"

Sun Lide's face immediately lit up with joy.

Although the credit belongs to Shen Zhishou, Shen Zhishou works for the Public Security Bureau, so the credit also belongs to their Public Security Bureau.

As Shen Zhishou finished his workday and was about to go home, Lu Nengsheng called out to him, "Little Shen, we're on duty tonight!"

"Go home for dinner early, and be back before 10 PM, is that alright?"

"no problem!"

What problems could there be if I get back to the factory before 10 o'clock?

Shen Zhishou didn't expect that joining the security department, although he wouldn't have to run around, would make his night shift a problem.

Back in the courtyard.

Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e were cooking, and Qin Huairu was also there.

"What are we having for dinner?"

Shen Zhishou didn't go into the kitchen, since there were already three people there, and it would be too crowded if he went.

Lou Xiao'e chuckled and said, "I bought some mutton today, we're having mutton hot pot tonight!"

"Sister Xiao'e, you have this kind of skill?"

"Hmph, I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve!"

Lou Xiao'e smiled smugly.

Previously, she was required to behave properly. Once married into the Xu family, she had to be a good daughter-in-law and not cause trouble.

But now, her father, Lou Bancheng, has gone to Gangcheng, and Lou Tanshi has simply handed over the people and affairs in Beijing to Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e is quite something these days.

Shen Zhishou was unaware of these things, but he had some guesses in his mind.

"Sister Xiao'e, come with me for a moment!"

Shen Zhishou guessed that Lou Xiao'e might have some connections within the Lou family, and felt it necessary to say a few words to her. If Lou Xiao'e could control these connections, then he wouldn't stop her.

In this world, the bold get rich while the timid starve.

With him as Lou Xiao'e's backer, he wouldn't mind doing something if someone dared to act recklessly.

Perhaps it was because of his unique and extraordinary nature that Shen Zhishou still felt a sense of awe, but it was only directed at the state's violent machinery. As for other things, Shen Zhishou really didn't care about them.

Once inside, Shen Zhishou didn't beat around the bush with Lou Xiao'e. He believed that family members didn't need to play mind games; they should just say what they meant.

It would be so boring if we had to scheme against our own people!

"Yeah, after my dad went to Hong Kong, my mom was too lazy to manage those people and connections, so she just left it all to me!"

"Do you not want me to get involved in these things?"

Lou Xiao'e's eyes were somewhat uneasy; she still cared a lot about Shen Zhishou's opinion.

Shen Zhishou smiled and said, "How could that be?"

"I don't object to you doing these things, but I hope you can talk to me if you have any problems. Don't bear it all alone. Whatever it is, if you need help, feel free to come to me!"

"I don't want to find out only after something bad happens to you!"

Shen Zhishou felt that although he was lustful, he was also a man of feeling.

Without emotions, if it's just a connection of pure desire, then life would be too boring!

So what do you mean by "don't let any woman go"?

Shen Zhishou wouldn't even give a second glance to a bad woman.

"You really don't mind?"

Lou Xiao'e was quite surprised to hear Shen Zhishou's words, as she had always thought that Shen Zhishou was quite chauvinistic.

Otherwise, Shen Zhishou already had so much money and tickets given to him, so he wouldn't have to go out and earn money on his days off.

Why should I mind?

"With me, Xiao'e, you can do whatever you want. I'll always be your strong support!"

"As long as you don't cause a major disaster, I can basically handle it for you!"

Shen Zhishou thought to himself, if this really causes a hole in the sky, then even if he is the only extraordinary one, he will still be a 404 (a slang term for someone who fails to pass the imperial examinations).

"I'm just making a little money, how did that cause such a huge problem? You're just talking nonsense!"

Lou Xiao'e affectionately hugged Shen Zhishou's arm and solemnly said, "Don't worry, if anything really happens and I need your help, I definitely won't hesitate to ask!"

At first, Lou Xiao'e didn't have the courage to take on the Lou family's people and connections, but after learning that Shen Zhishou's body was somewhat superhuman, like that of a god, Lou Xiao'e became confident and assertive!

With a man like that, what is there to worry about when she only earns a little money?

"Oh, by the way, since you've been so good to me, I'm going to give you a gift in a couple of days!"

"What gift?"

"Keep it a secret!"

Lou Xiao'e smiled mysteriously, released Shen Zhishou's arm, and walked lightly out of the main house.

Shen Zhishou was too lazy to guess what Lou Xiao'e's gift was; he would find out when the time came!

After leaving the house, Shen Zhishou slowly walked to the kitchen.

"I need to tell you something. I'm on night shift tonight, and I have to leave around 9 PM!"

"Night shift?"

All three of them turned their gazes toward Shen Zhishou.

Shen Zhishou spread his hands and said, "The people in the security department all have to be on duty and patrol at night. You didn't know that, did you?"

'

"But you've only just joined the security department, and they've already assigned you to shifts. Aren't they worried you won't be familiar with the procedures?"

"Someone's showing me around!"

Shen Zhishou smiled. "Besides, what could be unfamiliar?"

"I'm not bragging, but I caught the guy who tried to sabotage Master He yesterday!"

"Did you catch them?"

Qin Huairu was taken aback.

Yesterday, Sha Zhu was beaten up, and the incident caused quite a stir. Xu Damao was taken away by the security department, but for some reason, he was released.

"Let me tell you!"

Shen Zhishou immediately recounted his case-solving process to the three of them, emphasizing his brilliant and resourceful actions and flashes of inspiration!

"Is this person crazy?"

After listening to Shen Zhishou recount Zhao Chengliang's theory, the three of them shared a similar feeling.

Shen Zhishou simply smiled and said, "Actually, there are quite a lot of people like that!"

"They never care what others think or say; they're always self-centered. Everything they do is right, and all the mistakes are someone else's fault!"

The type of person that Shen Zhishou remembers most vividly is Ding Xie from "The Greed of Man".

Ding Xie is the king of scumbags, and his character is almost identical to Zhao Chengliang.

They beat someone to death and then blamed the person for being weak!

Is this the kind of brain circuitry a normal person could have?
