The conspiracy of the courtyard

Looking at the fawning attitude of Zhao's father towards Yi Zhonghai, which is totally unlike the envy and respect that rural people should have for city workers, Lu Zixuan can't help but feel suspicious. Was Yi Zhonghai instigating or participating in the reporting of Zhao Saner?

Otherwise, those illiterate rural people would never have thought of submitting a letter of denunciation, let alone the opportunity to present the letter of denunciation to their leaders.

Then, Lu Zixuan signaled Chen Ping and the other person to go to the security department quickly, while he himself ran towards Liu Lan's house.

When Lu Zixuan and Liu Lan arrived at the security department of the steel rolling mill, they saw Chen Ping and the other person still struggling with two guards from the security department.

Liu Lan immediately introduced:

"These two are the most difficult people in the security department. The older and sloppier one, surnamed Dong, is the captain of the second patrol team and a real old hand.

His daughter-in-law died of complications during childbirth three years ago. They have a daughter who is ten years old this year.

He has been pestering me to introduce him to a wife, and I can use this excuse to get him to be flexible.

Another young one was assigned to the security department only last year. He is a retired soldier with the surname Ye. He is a very upright person with a strong background and no weaknesses have been found so far.

Zhuzi tried to approach him before but failed, and I am not sure either."

Lu Zixuan thought for a moment and responded:

"Well... I'll find a way to get the young one out of the way. Please wait for a while. Come over after he leaves."

After saying that, he bypassed the administration building and ran towards another road leading to the security department. When he was close to the security department, he shouted breathlessly:

"Oh no! Someone is dragging a large sack towards the dog hole on the east wall. Is there anyone from the security department? Go check it out!"

The two security officers became nervous upon hearing this, and Captain Dong immediately ordered:

"Xiao Ye, go into the house and get your stuff, quick!

You two, hurry up and leave. If you miss something important, you will be in trouble.

Comrade, tell me the details. How many people were there? Where did they drag the sack from? Can you tell what was in the sack?

Before Lu Zixuan could speak, Xiao Ye rushed to Captain Dong's side with two rifles on his back, handed him the rifles and said:

"Captain, here!

Please don't embarrass a child. What can he see through the sack? Go quickly and don't let him escape."

Captain Dong subconsciously took the gun and was about to take a step when he suddenly said:

"Xiao Ye, you are young and agile, go first, I will be there soon."

Xiao Ye didn't think much about it, just replied "yes", and ran towards the east with his long legs.

Captain Dong narrowed his slightly angry eyes, looked at Lu Zixuan and threatened:

"Kid, I remember that the dog holes were all blocked a few months ago. How do you know where the dog holes are? Whose child are you? How did you get in?

You are young, but you have a lot of thoughts. You'd better come up with a good excuse. Otherwise, I don't mind letting you learn how to take the big head..."

Liu Lan took two steps at a time and stepped forward to explain:

"Captain Dong, you misunderstood. This is my nephew. Please be magnanimous. Sister Zhang asked me to tell you something. If Xiao Ye heard it, it would affect your glorious image as a captain. That's why I tried to get him out of the way. Please forgive me!"

Captain Dong glanced at everyone present, frowned and thought for a while, then grinned and said attentively:

"Oh, it's Sister Liu Lan here, come on, let's go into the inner room and talk."

Then he glared at Chen Ping and said viciously:

"Don't waste time here, both of you. Hurry up and leave. I've already said that this was an order from Director Li himself. No one can see Zhao Saner until the matter is fully investigated."

After saying this, he turned around and left angrily. Because he turned too fast, the key bunch hanging on his belt fell to the ground.

Lu Zixuan quickly grabbed Xiaohua who was about to speak, picked up the key, motioned Chen Ping and the other two to go to the detention room, and whispered to Liu Lan's back:

"Aunt Lan, I left my schoolbag at the door. I'll pick you up later."

……

Lu Zixuan and the other two were soon able to meet Zhao Saner.

Chen Ping knew Xiaohua's temper best, so she didn't give the couple a chance to express their true feelings to each other and went straight to the point.

"San'er, time is running out. Stop talking nonsense and tell me the details. Who do you think reported you? What did they report?"

Before Zhao San'er could show his joy at seeing Xiaohua, Chen Ping's serious questioning stopped him from saying anything tender. He mechanically shook his head and answered:

"I don't know. The head of the security department just said that someone reported me to the factory leaders for occupying a job quota and that they needed to verify the files. That was all."

He looked at Xiaohua affectionately again and asked anxiously:

"Wife, our parents didn't make things difficult for you and the child, did they? Just be patient for two days, and when I get out, I'll help you vent your anger!"

Xiaohua frowned and said coquettishly:

"Master, you must be hungry. Our mother is in charge of the food cabinet and we can't touch anything. Sister Chen gave me some steamed bread, which is still hot. You should eat it quickly.

Don’t worry about what’s going on at home. Did they beat you? I heard…”

Lu Zixuan was speechless for a while, and interrupted the couple's affectionate words:

"Aunt Hua, can you two go home and hang out again? Uncle San, has Yi Zhonghai looked for you recently?"

Zhao Saner took the steamed bread and smiled awkwardly, recalling:

"Yes, he came to our workshop often in the past few months, teaching us techniques and asking about our well-being. He also praised me for my hard work and asked if I would like to be his apprentice.

I knew he was holding his fart in, so I ignored him."

Lu Zixuan asked:

"Is it true that he stopped coming after your parents came?

The section chief did not say which leader received the letter of complaint?

Do you have any suspects in your mind about the whistleblower? "

Zhao Saner pondered for a moment and replied, "Well...it seems so, but what is the connection?"

Then, his eyes flashed with ferocity, "You mean... Master Yi deliberately tricked me?

Yes, I should have thought of it earlier. Now that I know his secret, how could he let me go so easily?

Hehe... Sister Chen, I know how to deal with it. Nothing will happen. You just joined the factory as a cadre, so don't get involved. Please take Xiaohua away first. I will explain to you when I get out."

Xiaohua looked at Zhao Saner with tears in her eyes and stammered:

"The head of the family..."

"Don't worry, my dear, I will be home by the afternoon at the latest."

Although the three were full of curiosity, seeing Zhao Saner's firm tone, they said no more and left the detention room immediately.

After comforting Chen Ping and Xiao Hua and letting them leave first, Lu Zixuan walked into the security department, put the key on the table and said with a smile:

"Auntie Lan, I'm back. I just found a bunch of keys at the door and put them here.

Uncle Feng’s friend sent a message saying that he can handle it himself, so don’t worry, and let you finish your work…”

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Ye strode in and interrupted him:

"Hey... luckily you didn't leave, so I don't have to go looking for you. Come with me to see who is dragging the sack. I went to the logistics department to borrow a car and drove around twice, but I didn't see anyone."

Without giving Lu Zixuan time to make up some nonsense explanation, Captain Dong quickly responded:

"Don't look for him. That was a temporary worker from a workshop transporting waste materials. This guy didn't figure it out and caused a mess. Someone from the workshop just told me about it.

Go and bring some hot water to Zhao Saner, so that he won't accuse us of mistreating the prisoners when he gets out."

Xiao Ye raised his hand and nodded at Lu Zixuan, rolled his eyes, and then responded with little interest:

"Okay, then you guys get busy."

After Xiao Ye left with the thermos and the large teapot, Liu Lan spoke:

"Captain Dong, thank you so much for today. If you have any questions in the future, please let me know. If you have time to go and take a look at Sister Zhang, I promise to satisfy you if you think she is suitable.

If you have nothing else to do, we won't delay your work."
