Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

Chapter 43 Security Department's Layout

The next day, in the Security Director's Office

"Old Liu, how is the situation with following Jia Dongxu?"

"Director, my men followed him all the way last night and have found the location of the casino, but we are not sure how many people are inside the casino and who the leader is, so we are not taking any rash actions for the time being."

"Yes, that's right. Send a few people in to find out the situation inside the casino first."

The Security Department has a lot of contact with all kinds of people on the streets. Otherwise, where do you think the information about the black market and casinos comes from when the Security Department repeatedly cracks down on them?

"I see, Director. I'll make the arrangements in a moment. Director, do you think Jia Dongxu won or lost in the casino yesterday?"

"You must have won yesterday, and won a lot?"

"How can you be so sure, Director?"

"He and I live in the same courtyard. They were stewing meat early this morning. If he hadn't won a lot of money, how could he be so arrogant?"

Liu Neng was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief:

"The money he won from the casino was not legitimate, but he dared to spend it so blatantly. He was afraid that others would not know that there was something wrong with his money, right? Is this guy really brainless? What's in his head?"

"If this guy had brains, could he have become the most experienced second-level worker in the factory? There's no one as weird as him in the whole factory."

Bai Wanli remembered that Jia Dongxu had worked in the steel mill for more than ten years, and he was only a second-level fitter until his death. He was very curious about what level Jia Dongxu was compared with other workers, so he investigated after coming to the steel mill.

The result is that Jia Dongxu is really a weirdo

Among all the second-level workers in the entire steel rolling mill, there is no one with longer service than him. Among the workers with similar service years, the lowest one is already a third-level worker, and the fastest promoted one is already a fifth-level worker.

Jia Dongxu's level has set a new record for the steel rolling mill.

I don't know if Yi Mule didn't teach Jia Dongxu carefully, or if he was afraid that Jia Dongxu would be able to escape from his control.

Or maybe Jia Dongxu is ambitious and doesn't focus on work at all.

Or maybe it was a combination of these two factors that made Jia Dongxu a "legend" at the second level for more than a decade.

Liu Neng really couldn't understand Jia Dongxu's weirdness, and he said with a smile:

"Director, you don't know yet, there is something even more bizarre. Just now, my subordinates came to report to me that Jia Dongxu went straight to the abandoned warehouse to sleep."

Bai Wanli was stunned: "This kid thinks he can rest easy with Yi Zhonghai, the great man, protecting him, right? He went to sleep during working hours, how bold of him!"

It is common for workers to be lazy and slack off. Going out to use the toilet or smoke a cigarette during work hours is a small matter, and the security department will not care about this. But sleeping all the time is really too rampant.

"Director, should we arrest him or not?"

"Catch him! The state pays him a salary, not a place to sleep! Lock him up for a whole day, fine him five dollars, and then release him after work. Don't delay Mr. Jia's road to wealth (death)."

"This kid is greedy and easily gets carried away. I'll ask you to find someone to say nice things to him, bragging about how great he is, and then promise to give him half of the winnings. Jia Dongxu will definitely agree."

This kind of illegal casino is afraid of being cracked down by the public security and security departments, so it usually relies on old employees to bring in new employees, and you need an introduction from an acquaintance to enter.

Jia Dongxu should have been brought into the game by someone, but because there was no advance surveillance, the security department did not know who brought Jia Dongxu into the game, so Jia Dongxu is now the biggest breakthrough point.

Moreover, this kind of gambler will be in a bad mood after being locked up for a day, and nine out of ten times he will go to the gambling table to find balance.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Jia Dongxu was still sleeping in an abandoned warehouse, dreaming of making a fortune by gambling, punching Bai Wanli, kicking Yang Guoming, hugging girls left and right, and reaching the pinnacle of life, when he was suddenly awakened by two big slaps in the face.

His dream of getting rich was suddenly interrupted. Before Jia Dongxu regained consciousness, he was already furious.

"Which bastard dares to hit me?!"

He used to be arrogant in the workshop because he had Yi Zhonghai's protection. He often bullied others and didn't even give face to the workshop director.

But the one who came to arrest him was a security guard, who would not tolerate his bad habits, and slapped Jia Dongxu in the face like a palm leaf fan.

"Who the hell are you, old man?! You dare to be so rude to me when you're slacking off here during work hours!"

The beating made Jia Dongxu sober up completely. He held his head and squatted to defend himself while saying, "I'm not lazy! I just went to the toilet!"

"Bullshit! I've already asked your workshop director. You've been out for almost two hours and you're still going to the toilet. Are you having a full banquet in the toilet?"

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he cursed Guo Da Piezi as a loser and immediately changed his tactics.

"Stop it! Stop it now! Your director and I live in the same compound. If you dare to do that again, I will have your director cripple you!"

The security guard rolled his eyes when he heard this. You want the director to deal with us? If it wasn't for the director's personal order to arrest you, I would have almost believed it.

"Go ahead and sue me if you dare! Get up now. You are lazy and slacking off at work. Go to the detention room for a day!"

Jia Dongxu's lies were useless, and neither was Bai Wanli's banner. Facing the burly security guards, Jia Dongxu could only draw a circle in his mind and curse them. He was finally scared on the surface, and was taken to the detention room without even farting.

The security department put him in the detention room not to let him sleep in a different place. First, he started with a set of Su Qin carrying a sword.

In less than two minutes, Jia Dongxu was tortured to the point of screaming and begging for mercy, but it was useless. He could only hope to get the news quickly and be rescued.

But Yi Zhonghai, the savior in his eyes, had no time to care about him at this moment, because he still had Sha Zhu's shit to clean up.

After giving the security department a few packs of cigarettes, Yi Zhonghai finally saw Sha Zhu again.

After a few days, Sha Zhu no longer had the arrogance he had before.

For several days in a row, Sha Zhu had not had a single pickle to eat. He was only kept alive by two bowls of water every day, and he had to continue to suffer various torture methods from the Security Department.

In such a short time, Sha Zhu has become emaciated and looks as if he has tuberculosis. He is no longer the proud and domineering man he used to be.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai coming, Sha Zhu's deeply sunken eyes were filled with tears.

"Uncle, save me..."

Chapter 44 Yi Zhonghai suffers a huge loss, Jia Dongxu gambles again

"Zhu Zi, I will definitely save you. Time is running out now. You have to pay your fine quickly. Take out all the money you have. The old lady and I will make up the rest for you."

"I...I still have more than a hundred, all in a box under the bed."

Yi Zhonghai was shocked and asked, "You have worked for so many years, how come you only have a little over a hundred yuan left?"

Shazhu used to have a salary of 355 yuan plus a 2 yuan subsidy for overtime, a total of 375 yuan, which is not too high in this era, but as a cook, he has good benefits and no shortage of food and drink.

Sha Zhu hadn't married yet, and the 30-odd yuan salary was only enough to support him and his sister He Yushui. In addition, Sha Zhu could eat secretly in the kitchen, so eating didn't cost much at all. He and He Yushui only spent a dozen yuan a month at most.

Logically speaking, Sha Zhu should be able to save about 20 yuan a month, and more than 200 yuan a year. He should have more than 1,000 yuan in these years. How come only one-tenth of it is left?

Sha Zhu said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Uncle, didn't you ask Sister Qin to lend me more money because her family was in financial difficulty? That's why I lent it all to Sister Qin."

Yi Zhonghai was shaken when he heard this and almost fainted.

I asked you for help, and you emptied your family savings to lend it out, right?

Yi Zhonghai didn't know whether to say that Sha Zhu was honest or stupid.

Then Yi Zhonghai had another headache. Sha Zhu only had a little over 100 yuan left, but the total fine was more than 5,000 yuan. He could not make up for it at all, so he had to go out with the old deaf man.

But if I go back and tell the old deaf man about it, he will definitely be able to guess where Sha Zhu's money has gone over the years, and then I will definitely be in trouble.

But he had to keep silent, otherwise he would have to make up for the huge hole of more than 5,000 yuan himself.

Although Yi Zhonghai was not unable to come up with the money, his money was all reserved for retirement. More than 5,000 yuan was half of his family fortune. He would be heartbroken if he had to pay it out.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to take a leave and go back to the courtyard to tell the old deaf man about the matter.

The old deaf man obviously knew where the money that Sha Zhu should have saved over the years had gone. He stared at Yi Zhonghai fiercely. Yi Zhonghai lowered his head and dared not speak.

After a long silence, the old deaf man slowly said:

"I'll pay 1,500 yuan for Zhuzi, and you can pay the rest."

Yi Zhonghai was not happy at that time

"Madam, didn't you say before that I would pay half of the money? Now there's more than a thousand more..."

Originally, Yi Zhonghai was supposed to pay half of the 2750 yuan, which was yuan. But now the old deaf man paid yuan, and Sha Zhu was left with more than yuan. Yi Zhonghai still had to pay more than yuan, which was more than yuan more than before.

The old deaf man angrily said, "Why is there an extra thousand? Don't you know why?!"

Yi Zhonghai froze for a moment, speechless

In fact, the difference of more than one thousand yuan is the money that Sha Zhu should have saved over the years, but ended up lending to the Jia family.

"You asked Zhuzi to help the Jia family. Zhuzi lent the Jia family money because he listened to you. Now Zhuzi has no money. How can you pass the buck? Anyway, the money must be paid back. Either you go and get back the money that Zhuzi lent, or you pay the Jia family yourself!"

The old deaf man's words were like an ultimatum. Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to choose one of the two.

But after so many years, how could he not know what kind of character the Jia family, especially Jia Zhangshi, is? A typical person who wants money but not buying. It is harder than climbing to the sky to get money from her.

Besides, even if Sha Zhu comes out now, he will be useless. His only hope for retirement is Jia Dongxu. If he creates a rift with the Jia family because of this incident, what will he do when he is old?

Yi Zhonghai struggled with his conscience for a long time, and finally his shoulders collapsed.

"Old lady, take the money."

The old deaf woman who had just finished speaking and closed her eyes to rest opened her eyes, took out a cloth bag from her side and handed it to Yi Zhonghai. There was exactly 1,500 yuan in it. It seemed that she had decided to pay this much money.

Yi Zhonghai took the old deaf man's money, took the remaining money from Sha Zhu's family, and took out more than 3,000 yuan from the pension money hidden at home. He collected 5,500 yuan in total and hurried to the factory to pay the money.

The accounts of the Security Department and the Steel Mill were independent. The 5,000 yuan was handed over to the Finance Department of the Steel Mill, and the 500 yuan was handed over to the Security Department. After both sides collected the money and issued a receipt, Sha Zhu's account was considered cleared.

But paying the money only means that Shazhu won't be handed over to the police. The punishment from the security department hasn't ended yet, so keep him locked up.

The old deaf man was helpless after knowing this. Last time Bai Wanli had spoken to her, he had labeled her a reactionary. This really frightened the old deaf man so much that he dared not provoke this evil star. He could only wait patiently for Sha Zhu to come out.

Yi Zhonghai paid the money but still felt depressed

This time he spent nearly 4,000 yuan, which is a fortune that many people cannot save in their entire lives. His originally generous pension money has shrunk a lot in an instant.

Originally, he asked Sha Zhu to help the Jia family because the grain price was too high during the three years. He was reluctant to use his own money, so he tricked Sha Zhu into helping him pay for the elderly care.

As a result, I lost so much money. I should have paid for it myself.

Yi Zhonghai was in a depressed mood and had no mood to work. He had applied for leave today anyway, so he simply asked an old lady to buy him two pounds of white wine. He drank alone at home, not knowing how miserable his good disciple Jia Dongxu was at the security department at that time.

When it was time to get off work, the workers all went home, and the Security Department also threw Jia Dongxu out according to Bai Wanli's instructions.

"Get out of here now. If you dare to make a mistake again, we will punish you!"

Jia Dongxu bent over and said, "I won't do that anymore. I won't dare to cause trouble to the comrades in the Security Department anymore."
