My scumbag husband only saves his white moonlight; I remarry the rough-and-tumble regimental command

The Ye family had no connection with the security department, and there were no security personnel living in this area.

Ye Anjia came out calmly: "Don't panic, could they be here to offer their congratulations?"

Yang Chunhua's face was a little pale: "It doesn't look like it to me. Those people looked aggressive. If they were here to offer congratulations, why would they act like this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the security personnel from the machinery factory arrived.

Ye Anjia noticed that the one leading the group was actually the head of the security department.

"Gentlemen, what does this mean?"

The head of security had a stern face. At that moment, he also noticed the "double happiness" characters pasted on the Ye family's doors and windows. His eyes twitched slightly, but he still decided to handle the matter impartially.

“Master Ye, we received a report that you took some things from the factory home and kept them for yourself. We are here to investigate.”

He emphasized the words "on orders" very heavily.

The section chief was about the same age as Ye Anjia, and since Ye Anjia was celebrating a happy occasion, he didn't want to offend anyone.

But what could he do when his boss sent him?

"Gentlemen, is this a misunderstanding? I did bring back some scrap metal, but it was all done through the factory's procedures. I paid for it, and I have all the relevant receipts."

"Bring it here so we can take a look."

Ye Anjia immediately nodded and went inside to get the receipt.

Li Xiu perked up at this moment, holding a small tray in her hand filled with melon seeds and candy.

"Comrades, you've all worked hard. Since you're all guests, please have a taste. This is my daughter's wedding candy."

The young men hesitated to reach out and all looked at the section chief.

How could the section chief possibly accept someone's offer now? Wouldn't that be blatantly asking for trouble?

"Comrade, please wait a moment. We are just following orders. We dare not eat this candy now. We'll talk about it after the investigation is complete."

The section chief's tone softened, and Li Xiu's expression finally improved.

"Ye Feng, quick, get some chairs for these comrades to sit down."

Soon, Ye Anjia and Ye Hai came out, one carrying a receipt and the other carrying a small box.

"Comrades, look, these are all the things. I went through the procedures with the factory's logistics department and paid the money. Old Zhang is also here to testify for me."

The section chief frowned: "Which Old Zhang?"

"He's from the same workshop as me; he's a level 5 fitter."

The section chief immediately knew who he was talking about.

"He lives near your house?"

"Yes, we often keep in touch, since we live close by and work in the same workshop."

The head of the security department didn't say anything more and carefully checked the contents.

Thankfully, things are more strict now, and this document lists everything, including the final total weight, etc.

A junior colleague quickly checked and said, "Section Chief, no problem."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; as long as there were no problems, the wedding could continue.

But the head of security didn't move. Instead, he asked, "Do you have another wooden box this big in your house, with a lock on it? And is there a flower carved on the bottom of that box?"

Ye Anjia was dumbfounded; where would they get such a box?

Ye Feng realized something was wrong and reminded him, "Dad, isn't that box that Uncle Zhang entrusted to you for safekeeping yesterday only this big?"

Ye Anjia's heart skipped a beat. How could the other party know so much about the size and appearance of this box?

He subconsciously looked into the crowd but couldn't find Lao Zhang.

"Section Chief, there is indeed such a box at home, but it belongs to Lao Zhang. If you want to see it, you have to get Lao Zhang's permission first."

After whispering a few words to the people around him, the head of the security department said, "Since it's in your house, then take it out."

At this moment, Ye Hai thought of what happened last night and immediately spoke up: "Comrade, my dad made it very clear that Uncle Zhang brought this box over last night. It's fine if you want to investigate, but Uncle Zhang, the person involved, has to be present, right? Putting aside whether there are any inappropriate things in this box, the owner has to be present."

A young man from the security department turned and left, and a short while later, Old Zhang was called over.

However, the Ye family all noticed that Old Zhang's expression was very strange.

Their eyes darted away, avoiding eye contact with the Ye family members; this was clearly suspicious.

"He's the one who gave you the box?"

"Yes. The box was still locked. He said it was because he had a fight with his wife, and she smashed and threw away some of his things. He said he was afraid his things would get damaged, so he specially put it in my house."

The head of security asked the somewhat hunched middle-aged man, "Is that so?"

Old Zhang lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I don't know. I didn't go anywhere last night, and I didn't give the Ye family any boxes. My wife and I didn't argue last night either. All my neighbors can testify to that."

Ye Anjia's expression changed: "Old Zhang, what are you saying? You didn't say that when you came with the box last night. My family was there, and we all saw and heard it."

"What does that have to do with me? You're all family, so you're bound to side with your own people. Now you've stolen from the factory, and you're trying to pin it on me? On what grounds?"

Ye Anjia felt a tremor in his heart. He never expected that his friend of many years would want to kill him!

“Uncle Zhang, you said that box wasn’t yours, so how do you know there were valuables inside?” Ye Hai directly pointed out the flaw in his statement.

The head of the security department wasn't stupid; it was obvious that something was amiss.

If Ye Anjia really intended to steal, there would be no need for him to spend tens of yuan to bring back a bunch of scrap metal.

Moreover, he knew that Ye Anjia was a skilled worker with a decent salary. Now, everyone in the family except the eldest daughter-in-law had a job, so why would they need to do something so dangerous and easily discovered?

Old Zhang was caught out of his position, and he panicked for a moment. Afraid of saying too much and making a mistake, he simply kept quiet.

Whenever asked, he says he didn't bring the box over, and he didn't argue with his wife.

As the head of security was pondering how to proceed, he heard someone shouting outside the courtyard.

Only then did I realize that it was Old Zhang's wife who had come looking for me.

"Old Ye family, you can't harm people! My husband Zhang is an honest man. You've taken all the benefits from the factory, but you haven't given us a single penny. Don't try to drag my husband Zhang down with you; he hasn't done anything wrong!"

Fine, they're a couple who're of one mind, they just won't admit it!

Ye Anjia staggered from anger, and Li Xiu quickly helped him up: "Old Ye, are you alright?"

Ye Anjia shook his head: "It's nothing."

A bespectacled comrade from the security department suggested, "Section Chief, let's have them bring the box out first. The report letter says the contents are in that box. Once they bring it out, we can inspect it on the spot and it will be clear whether Ye Anjia is undermining socialism!"
