I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

Director Wang abruptly stopped in her tracks. She took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to turn and leave, and slowly turned around, forcing a stiff smile as she looked at Zhou Weiguo with a puzzled expression: "Chief Engineer Zhou, is there anything else?"

Zhou Weiguo looked up at her. "Director Wang, what are your plans to do about Qin Huairu's matter?"

Upon hearing this, Director Wang was taken aback at first, and then realized that he had been so busy dealing with the two outrageous marriages of Yi Zhonghai and Xu Damao that he had completely forgotten about Qin Huairu's matter in the front yard.

She frowned, a hint of difficulty on her face, and hesitated in her tone: "About Qin Huairu... I had someone lock her in her room just now, intending to deal with things here before going over. But ultimately, it's just a private matter for her family, it's just that the commotion was so big that everyone knows about it. I think a private reprimand would be enough, but if we really deal with it seriously, I'm afraid it will have a negative impact."

Just then, a loud and urgent shout came from outside the courtyard: "Qin Huairu! Qin Huairu, come out quickly! Your Banggeng stepped on a steel ball at the alley entrance and fell down! Come and check on him!"

Inside the house, Qin Huairu had already overheard the conversation between Zhou Weiguo and Director Wang outside the door. She had been looking anxious and deliberately pretending to be weak and aggrieved.

Upon hearing that Banggeng was injured, the feigned weakness vanished instantly, leaving only panic.

She suddenly pushed open the door and rushed out of the house, her eyes filled with panic and urgency, stumbling and rushing towards the yard.

A half-smile appeared on Zhou Weiguo's face, and a quick glance of understanding flashed in his eyes. It seemed that the matter with Yu Li had been resolved.

This trick, as expected, did not "disappoint" him; he actually did as Qin Huairu instructed.

Director Wang snapped out of his daze, frowned, and cursed "bad luck!" before quickly following them out. Today, there was absolutely no peace and quiet in courtyard number 95.

How could Zhou Weiguo possibly miss such a spectacle? A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes as he turned and grabbed Sha Zhu, who was trying to sneak home, his tone light and unyielding: "Sha Zhu, come on, let your uncle take you to see a big show."

Sha Zhu was being dragged along by Zhou Weiguo and had no way to refuse, so he could only follow reluctantly.

The two walked quickly to the alley entrance and immediately saw Banggeng curled up on the ground, his forehead covered in cold sweat and his hair soaked. He was still crying and cursing viciously.

"Yu Li, you bitch! It's all your fault, you traitorous idiot Zhu! If you hadn't married her, I wouldn't have gotten hurt!"

Banggeng's voice was shrill and hoarse, mixed with heart-wrenching sobs, every word filled with deep-seated hatred, sending chills down one's spine: "It hurts so much... my leg... Mother, it hurts so much! It's killing me!"

Qin Huairu's heart ached, and tears welled up instantly. She choked back sobs, her voice trembling uncontrollably, "Banggeng, my son, how did you fall like this? I didn't... I told you to be careful..."

She had only spoken halfway when Qin Huairu abruptly stopped, her heart nearly leaping out of her throat. She had almost let slip that she had instigated the gangster incident!

She hurriedly looked up and glanced guiltily at Director Wang, whose face was pale. A cold sweat instantly broke out on her back, and her hands and feet turned icy cold.

No, we absolutely cannot let Banggeng reveal the truth, otherwise she will not only be punished by the neighborhood committee, but she will also be unable to stand in the courtyard in the future, and the Jia family will be completely finished!

She leaned forward fearfully, about to stop Banggeng from speaking, when Banggeng suddenly raised her head, her small face contorted in pain, her features squeezed together, yet still radiating a deep-seated hatred, as she roared, "It's all Yu Li's fault! That bitch Yu Li ruined me! She pushed me down! I fainted then! She must have hurt Grandma, not enough for her, she wanted to kill me too! Mother, you must avenge me!"

The moment Bang Geng uttered those words, Sha Zhu, who was standing nearby, exploded! He was already seething with anger because Bang Geng had cursed Yu Li, and now, hearing this kid openly frame Yu Li, his fury flared up instantly. His face turned deathly pale, and he took a big step forward, pointing his finger at Bang Geng's nose and yelling, "You little brat! You ingrate! What nonsense are you spouting! Yu Li is heavily pregnant and has to walk very carefully. How could she possibly push you? You clearly tripped and fell, and now you're turning around and making false accusations!"

Sha Zhu got angrier and angrier as he cursed, and rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach this lying brat a lesson. But Zhou Weiguo stopped him with a hand gesture, signaling him to calm down. The show had only just begun, so what was the rush?

Then, Zhou Weiguo turned his head, his gaze slowly landing on Qin Huairu. A half-smile played on his lips, and his tone, though calm, carried an undeniable air of authority: "Qin Huairu, I'd like to ask you, why did Bang Geng choose this particular time and place to play pachinko? And why did he scatter pachinko balls all over the ground? Most importantly, where did all these pachinko balls come from?"

These questions struck Qin Huairu like a heavy hammer, sending a shiver down her spine.

She looked up and met Zhou Weiguo's ambiguous smile. His gaze seemed to see right through her disguise and thoughts, which made her panic instantly. Her hands and feet turned cold, and she could barely stand.

In a panic, Qin Huairu quickly concealed her fear, instantly switching to a pitiful expression. Her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face like a broken string of pearls. She turned and walked towards Director Wang, her voice choked with sobs: "Director Wang, you must stand up for us, a widow and her child! Banggeng is so young, how could he lie? Now Chief Engineer Zhou is questioning me like this, I really don't know anything... I'm a widow with a child, life is already hard enough, how can I endure such harassment..."

But Director Wang was also a shrewd person. She had seen Zhou Weiguo's questioning and Qin Huairu's panic, and she already understood seven or eight parts of the situation. There must be something fishy going on, and it was definitely not as simple as Qin Huairu said.

She didn't reply immediately, but instead subtly raised her eyes and glanced at Zhou Weiguo, trying to gauge his attitude.

Zhou Weiguo didn't react at all. He looked at Bang Geng lying on the ground, his face contorted in pain, groaning. Then he glanced at Qin Huairu, who was still putting on an act for Director Wang. He had only one thought in his mind: Is this his biological son? He's in this state, and instead of taking Bang Geng to the hospital, he's still spouting nonsense?

He activated his senses and discovered that Bang Geng's kneecap was fractured. Fortunately, there was no external injury to tell. He could only say that the kid deserved it; who told him to have feelings for Li?

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from behind: "For the country, Huai Ru is right. Bang Geng is still just a child, how could he lie for no reason? Why don't you call Yu Li out and ask her to see if there's any misunderstanding?"

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
