The Great Era of Siheyuan

After being told by Xu Damao that Sha Zhu had been arrested, Yi Zhonghai immediately went to the security department. Whether it was sincere or not, Sha Zhu was his best candidate for retirement after Jia Dongxu's death, and there must be no problems.

"For what?"

As soon as Yi Zhonghai approached the Security Department, he was immediately questioned.

"Um, comrade, I heard that He Yuzhu was arrested by you, is it true?"

Yi Zhonghai asked nervously with a flattering smile on his face.

Although it is true that he is the master chef in the workshop, not everyone looks up to him. At least the people in the security department don't care who he is.

"He Yuzhu? You mean Shazhu! That's right, we caught him yesterday for stealing food from the cafeteria. Who are you and what's your relationship with him?"

The security guard gave him a sharp look and examined him from head to toe.

"I'm Yi Zhonghai, a seventh-level fitter in the production workshop. Sha Zhu and I are from the same yard. Do you have any misunderstandings? Why would Sha Zhu steal food? He just occasionally takes some leftovers from the cafeteria. This shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

Yi Zhonghai quietly defended Sha Zhu.

"Misunderstanding? Do you mean to say that our security department wrongly accused a good person? Yesterday, Sha Zhu prepared a reception meal in the small cafeteria, and took four meat dishes from the leader's mouth and filled four lunch boxes. You told me that these were leftovers? Why didn't you give me a portion of these leftovers?

It's not enough that he stole something, he also said he spit in the food, are we wrongly accusing him when we arrest him? You said you live in the same courtyard with him, I suspect Shazhu stole the food just to feed you, tell me, are you his accomplice?"

The security guard tricked him casually. If Yi Zhonghai seemed to be suspicious, he could take the opportunity to interrogate him.

"Well, comrade, don't get me wrong. I'm a level 7 fitter, earning nearly 80 yuan a month. How could I be short of such a small amount? I just wanted to ask how Sha Zhu is doing now!"

Yi Zhonghai asked carefully, this security department guy doesn't look like a good person. Thinking of what Xu Damao said, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, could Sha Zhu be tricked by these people?

As someone who has been through this, he knows too well how dark those people are behind the scenes. Even though everyone seems to be living in peace at ordinary times, there are actually dark things going on behind the scenes!

"How is it? You're asking this question, it's definitely not going to be okay! Do you think stealing public property is okay?"

The security guard laughed at his question. A thief thought it was good enough that he was not beaten to death.

"Can I go in and see him?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at him expectantly.

"No, outsiders are not allowed to approach!"

The security guard refused without hesitation. Who would do something that has no benefit?

"Comrade, help me!"

Yi Zhonghai took out a few dollars from his pocket and secretly put them into his hand.

When the security guard saw it, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Law is nothing more than human feelings... Since you have lived with him for a month, you can go and see him. Remember to persuade him and admit his mistakes. Don't be stubborn. It's not easy for us to do that, right? Come with me!"

The security guard said meaningfully.

"Thank you, thank you! I will try to persuade him!"

Yi Zhonghai didn't know what he meant, but his first priority was to meet Sha Zhu and ask him clearly.

Not long after, Yi Zhonghai was taken to the detention room where Sha Zhu was held.

"Remember what I said, it won't do you any harm! Go in!"

The security guard opened the door and signaled him to go in.

"Hey~ Thank you, I'll remember that! Zhuzi, Zhuzi, how are you?"

Although he was mentally prepared, Yi Zhonghai was still shocked by Sha Zhu's appearance after he entered.

Sha Zhu was lying on the ground with wounds all over his body, emitting a foul odor, with feces and urine flying everywhere, his abdomen and crotch were a mess, his hair was disheveled, and his hands were tied behind his back.

Because he had just been beaten up, Sha Zhu was still conscious. When he heard Yi Zhonghai's voice, he quickly turned his head and looked at him excitedly.

"Uncle, is it really you? Great, are you here to save me?"

"Zhu Zi, what happened to you? Why did they say you stole something? And why did they do this to you?"

Yi Zhonghai felt very sad when he saw Sha Zhu, who was covered with scars. He had wanted him to take over Jia Dongxu's position, but how come he almost died!

"Uncle, this is Li Huaide's grandson who is deliberately trying to mess with me and stand up for his mistress. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have said that. I regret it so much!"

Sha Zhu almost cried after he finished speaking. If he had known that Li Huaide would help her like this, he would not have said anything about her. Last night, he was beaten up by several people from the security department. He almost thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect to see a grandfather again.

"Okay, stop talking. Walls have ears."

An old man pointed to the door, indicating that there was someone outside, and Sha Zhu quickly lowered his voice.

"I know what you said. You mean that this was done by Director Li, right? I'll go find him later and see if he can make some concessions. After all, you run the canteen for them to eat. It's time for him to vent his anger after giving you a beating."

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said that he felt that Sha Zhu was worthy of being Sha Zhu, as he could do such a stupid thing.

Everyone in the cafeteria knew about the relationship between Liu Lan and Li Huaide, and even in the entire steel mill, there were many people who knew about it. But why did others not say anything and pretend to be deaf and dumb? It was because that person was the factory director.

"Thank you, sir. How did you know I was here?"

When he saw Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu felt warm in his heart. He was finally saved.

"How do I know? Your sister was looking for you for a long time last night and asked me to find you in the cafeteria. Finally, I accidentally found out that you were arrested. How are you? Are you still holding on?"

Yi Zhonghai did not tell him that it was Xu Damao who asked for help on his behalf. Let him bear this favor silently!

"I'm fine, but my body hurts. Can they let me go first? I have to pee again!"

Sha Zhu looked at him pleadingly.

"I'll go ask! But don't get your hopes up too much!"

Yi Zhonghai felt a little sorry for Sha Zhu's pitiful look. After all, he had seen him grow up since he was a child. Whether for his sake or for his own, he had to find a way to help him.

"Comrade, you see Shazhu can't get away here. We have been colleagues for many years. Can you please make an exception and untie him so he can go to the toilet?"

While Yi Zhonghai was speaking, he took out a few more banknotes from his pocket.

"We are all colleagues, and I don't want to embarrass him. I will show you a clear path. Think clearly about who you have offended and then go find that person. Do you understand?"

The security guard wiped his hand and the money in Yi Zhonghai's hand disappeared.

"I see, comrade, thank you so much!"

Yi Zhonghai knew that what this person said was the same as not saying anything, but he still smiled and thanked him, just like feeding the money to the dog. The King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little ghosts are hard to deal with. He accepted his benefits, and Sha Zhu felt a little better.

"Understood, then let's go! Remember to resolve the matter as soon as possible, otherwise we can't guarantee his safety if it's too late."

The security guard started to chase people away. It was already very kind of him to talk so much to them for such a small amount of money. Whether they listened or not was their own business.

Yi Zhonghai didn't think much about it. To untie the bell, one must find the person who tied it. It would be right to go find Liu Lan first and then Li Huaide.
