Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

As they were chatting, the police also came to find Sha Zhu to find out what happened. It was obvious that Li Dongfang's trip had worked, otherwise they would not have found out the situation but would have taken him away directly.

Although people in the factory were talking about this, it was nothing compared to being taken away by the police.

Section Chief Liang also saw the police coming over and realized that things had to be done as soon as possible, so he stood up and said, "Director Li, we're leaving first. We'll go to the courtyard now."

Li Dongfang glanced at the police officer who was taking Sha Zhu's statement and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, not hard." Section Chief Liang did not look for anyone else. He took the Qin brothers and went directly to Nanluoguxiang.

Just as the afternoon working hours came, Section Chief Liang arrived at Li Dongfang's office. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said, "Director Li, are you busy? I came to ask for a glass of water."

When Li Dongfang saw his expression, he knew that the matter was settled, so he threw two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes from the drawer and said with a smile: "There is no water. If you want cigarettes, take them. If not, forget it."

"Okay, go ahead." Section Chief Liang picked up the cigarette on the table, put it in his pocket, turned around and left.

Sometimes, things don't need to be said explicitly. Section Chief Liang came over to ask for water just to show his face and let Li Dongfang know that the matter was settled and he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

After get off work that night, he took Sha Zhu home with him. Just as Sha Zhu finished cooking, he heard a woman calling him outside. Li Dongfang knew the voice was angry, so he said to Sha Zhu, "Can you handle it yourself?"

Sha Zhu scratched his head with a silly smile on his face. Li Dongfang rolled his eyes and said, "What's that expression on your face... Forget it, I'll go with you. But try not to talk. Let me do the talking."

Sha Zhu nodded hurriedly. Li Dongfang stood up and asked You Fengxia, her daughter and Yu Shui to eat first. He would talk to them about this later.

When Li Dongfang took Sha Zhu out, he saw the widow Liu and couldn't help but admire her in his heart. This woman was really beautiful, not inferior to Qin Huairu and You Fengxia. The key was that her figure was still the seductive gourd-shaped one in later generations. No wonder so many men were trying to get close to her.

Widow Liu also saw Sha Zhu coming out. Just as she was about to speak, Li Dongfang waved his hand to stop her and said, "If you have something to say, go inside and talk about it." After saying that, he pointed directly at Sha Zhu's room.

As soon as she entered the house, Widow Liu said, "He Yuzhu! What do you mean? Did you send people to our yard to spread rumors that I borrowed your food and meat and didn't return them?"

Li Dongfang was stunned when he heard this. He did not let Section Chief Liang and others spread rumors.

But after thinking about it, I understood. It must be the result of Section Chief Liang and his men's inducement. The people in the hospital must have only seen Sha Zhu delivering food to Widow Liu. As for whether it was borrowed or not, no one knew.

It is estimated that Chief Liang and his team used some tricks when questioning, which led to the rumor that Widow Liu mentioned.

Just as Sha Zhu was about to speak, Li Dongfang patted his shoulder and motioned for him to come.

"It's true that hearing about someone is not as good as meeting them in person. Sister Liu is really stunningly beautiful, but! One must not be without conscience." Li Dongfang spoke to Widow Liu with a smile. Halfway through his words, his face suddenly turned serious and he brought out the aura of a deputy factory director, which frightened Widow Liu and made her aura soften a little.

"You, who are you? I'm looking for Sha Zhu, what does it have to do with you?" Widow Liu couldn't figure out Li Dongfang's identity, so she tried to be tough and said.

Li Dongfang said in a slow tone: "My name is Li Dongfang, and I also work in the steel mill."

"You, you are the deputy factory director?!" Widow Liu was suddenly shocked.

Li Dongfang turned his head and looked at Sha Zhu in confusion. Sha Zhu quickly explained, "She is taking her man's place at the steel mill and is now working as a custodian in the raw material warehouse."

Warehouse? Li Dongfang immediately realized that this person was still one of his own. If he had known earlier, he would not have bothered with that much effort. He could have just asked her to explain things to the police.

"Since you all work in the same factory, Zhuzi has been pretty good to you, right? I asked you to be a witness and tell the truth, but you were unwilling to do so. Can I assume that you have character problems? Can I assume that you are not suitable to continue working in such an important position in the warehouse?" Since he works under me, he should not be too easy to control, Li Dongfang spoke in an official tone.

"No, Deputy Director Li, listen to me, it's not that I don't want to, I'm just afraid..." Widow Liu became anxious when she heard this. She had finally been transferred from the workshop to the warehouse, but it cost her a lot of money. If she was transferred back, she would lose a lot of money.

Li Dongfang was now in high spirits. He was too lazy to listen to her nonsense and interrupted her directly: "I don't know what you are afraid of. Did I ask you to lie? What is there to be afraid of if you tell the truth? Now I give you two choices. One is that you go to the police and explain the facts clearly. You and Zhuzi are innocent. Then you don't have to pay back the food and meat that Zhuzi lent you. The other is that you continue to keep silent. I will have someone investigate how you fell into the warehouse. Also, you must return the food and meat that I lent you without missing a cent. Otherwise, I don't mind letting Zhuzi sue you for fraud at the police."

Widow Liu was shocked by these words. She was stunned for a long time before she said, "You are talking nonsense. Those meals were given to me voluntarily by Sha Zhu. I didn't commit any fraud!"

Li Dongfang didn't care what she said. I had the initiative now. I waved my hand and said, "You don't have the final say. Who would send food to others for no reason these days? Even if they did, they wouldn't send so much and for such a long time. So it's reasonable to borrow. Also, are you focusing on the wrong thing? Even if you're not a fraud, do you think you can continue to work in the warehouse? Or even have a good life in the steel mill?"

"I...I...I didn't say I wouldn't explain it clearly..." Widow Liu was quite sensible. She didn't let Li Dongfang waste too much time talking and just listened and gave in.

"That's right. Good comrades should tell the truth. Okay, you can go back." Since the matter was resolved, Li Dongfang didn't plan to argue with her anymore and just sent her away.

Widow Liu just turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly she turned back and looked at Sha Zhu and said, "I... I didn't buy any vegetables today..." As she said that, she secretly glanced at Li Dongfang.

"Oh, does this have anything to do with us?" Li Dongfang glared at Sha Zhu who wanted to speak.

"I...I...I'll go first." Widow Liu kept saying "I" for a long time but didn't dare to say anything more.

Li Dongfang watched her leave the house, then shouted, "Don't forget to explain the matter first."

"Got it. I'll go right away." Widow Liu must be feeling aggrieved and angry right now, but she didn't dare show it at all. Like a bullied wife, she just agreed and quickened her pace.

Li Dongfang turned to Sha Zhu and said, "Let's go home and have dinner."

Then I saw Sha Zhu staring with his eyes as big as copper bells and shouting, "Fuck~~!"
