The Dream Fulfillment Master in the Courtyard

All the hard work and effort, which lasted until midnight, was wasted because of a single gunshot.

Is it an accident?

Or was it intentional?

Qian Weigong didn't want to investigate.

After the security personnel returned to the steel rolling mill, Cao Feng, the security officer from the comprehensive section whose gun had accidentally discharged, was called to his office alone.

"Everyone else, leave!"

Following Qian Weigong's order, everyone dispersed.

Shen Zhiyu didn't chat with Chen Guofu and Fan Zhijun, and hurried back to the courtyard house.

He was genuinely a little sleepy.

I didn't sleep much last night, and I was up until midnight again today. I really couldn't take it anymore.

Back at the courtyard house, the gate was tightly closed.

Shen Zhiyu didn't knock on the door; she simply climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.

It's very unethical to wake people up so late at night.

Back in the courtyard, after opening the door, Shen Zhiyu first lit the coal briquettes sealed in the stove, and then stuffed another burning coal briquette into the kang (heated brick bed) hole.

Reheat the water in the kettle that had cooled down on the stove.

When the temperature was about right, Shen Zhiyu soaked her feet briefly, then took off her clothes and crawled into bed.

sleep!

I slept very soundly.

……

Shen Zhiyu woke up when various sounds came from the courtyard.

Although I didn't get back until midnight yesterday, I still had to go to work.

"Hey? Officer Shen, what time did you get back yesterday?"

Sha Zhu was quite surprised to see Shen Zhiyu.

"He came back in the middle of the night!"

"Let me tell you..."

Sha Zhu looked at Shen Zhiyu, and was about to start talking.

Shen Zhiyu yawned and said, "Master He, I'll wash up first. We can talk later if anything comes up!"

The icy tap water was bone-chillingly cold, instantly invigorating Shen Zhiyu.

After quickly washing her face and brushing her teeth, Shen Zhiyu looked at Sha Zhu, smiled, and said, "Master He, what were you trying to say? Tell me!"

"Officer Shen, did you know? Sister Qin went back to her parents' home!"

"Qin Huairu?"

Shen Zhiyu asked the question knowing the answer already.

"right!"

Sha Zhu raised an eyebrow at Shen Zhiyu, "You don't know, before, when Sister Qin went back to her parents' home, she would go and come back on the same day. This time, I heard she left late at night and didn't come back all day!"

"Who told you that?"

"Great idea!"

As Sha Zhu spoke, his eyes sharpened. "Dongxu really went too far this time. He actually hit Sister Qin. What kind of man hits a woman?"

Hearing Sha Zhu defend Qin Huairu, Shen Zhiyu smiled and said, "It's their business, we should stay out of it!"

"Officer Shen, aren't you from the Public Security Section?"

"You're not going to do anything about this wife-beating?"

"If the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate!"

"Besides, it's just a couple arguing and bickering. What kind of talk would it be if we got involved?"

Shen Zhiyu was lying with a straight face.

Qin Huairu has slept with him, so she'll be his woman from now on. He's definitely going to get involved in this.

Ideally, Qin Huairu should divorce Jia Dongxu.

Even if his woman cannot be openly acknowledged, she cannot continue to be treated like a slave in the Jia family.

As for how to get involved in this matter, we'll have to think about it carefully.

After chatting with Sha Zhu for a while, Shen Zhi went back to his room to tidy up. Too lazy to cook, he went out to eat breakfast.

I must say, the wontons are really delicious.

After breakfast, we headed to the steel rolling mill.

When Shen Zhiyu arrived at the Public Security Section, she saw that Chen Guofu and Fan Zhijun were already there. The two had even prepared hot water and tea for her.

"Section Chief, Brother Chen, what are you talking about?"

"What else is there to talk about? What happened last night!"

Chen Guofu waved to Shen Zhiyu and asked, "Tell me, was yesterday's shot really an accidental discharge, or was it intentional?"

"have no idea!"

When asked by Chen Guofu, Shen Zhiyu answered decisively.

Personally, he did not believe it was an accidental misfire.

But the other party tripped and accidentally released the safety, pulling the trigger. No one had any evidence to say it was intentional.

If you make such accusations against your colleague without evidence, what if you're wrongly accusing them? How will you maintain a relationship with them in the future? Most importantly, what will others think?

"Section Chief, Brother Chen, the division chief hasn't given his opinion yet?"

"Given it!"

"They said it's a job transfer, from the security department to the personnel department!"

Fan Zhijun casually shrugged. "I reckon there's going to be some changes in our security department."

Cao Feng's reassignment is a signal.

They had raided the pigeon market in their jurisdiction several times before, but each time they failed to catch any big fish. They could only arrest ordinary residents and buyers and sellers, which was of no use.

This can't be a coincidence!

It can only be said that someone inside tipped them off, and there may be more than one person.

Shen Zhiyu didn't pay attention to any changes in the security department; it didn't concern him much.

He just returned to work and his mind is still a bit hazy. He's like a recovered patient, so even if something happens, you can't find him.

However, in the afternoon, Shen Zhiyu was summoned to Qian Weigong's office.

"On your day off, at Old Mo's place, here's a picture of the girl you were supposed to meet. She's pretty, just like you wanted!"

When Qian Weigong saw Shen Zhiyu arrive, he immediately placed a photograph in front of him.

Here's a photo of a girl with a bright smile.

She has an oval face, braids, and curved eyebrows and eyes; she is very pretty.

"Thank you, Section Chief!"

This girl also fits Shen Zhiyu's aesthetic standards.

Well, his aesthetic standards aren't really anything special; any pretty girl falls into his category.

Qian Weigong was speechless when he saw Shen Zhiyu laughing so hard she was practically dumbfounded.

"Ten o'clock on your rest day, don't be late!"

"And here, take this, consider it a donation from me!"

Qian Weigong then pushed two more of Lao Mo's meal tickets over.

"Director, really? Who is this girl? Just for a meeting, she has to go to Old Mo's for a meal?"

In this day and age, a meal at Lao Mo's costs the equivalent of a month's salary for an average person.

Shen Zhiyu's salary wasn't low, but he had a lot of expenses lately, and this Lao Mo was really too extravagant for him.

After all, Qian Weigong's meal ticket was only proof of entry into Lao Mo; Shen Zhiyu still had to pay for the meal herself.

"Don't give me that nonsense!"

"You better treat this matchmaking session well!"

"If I find out you're going to go back to lying and making things up, let me tell you, I have plenty of ways to teach you a lesson!"

"Get out of here!"

Qian Weigong immediately told Shen Zhiyu to leave.

Shen Zhiyu left Qian Weigong's office with her head down, wondering how to end this meeting gracefully.

This girl is truly beautiful, with bright eyes and white teeth. This photo isn't one of those later photoshopped images; it's a real photo of her.

But the problem is, given his commitment to the public good, this girl is probably beyond what Shen Zhiyu can afford to support.

"What happened? Did the section chief scold you?"

When Chen Guofu saw Shen Zhiyu return looking dejected, he chuckled and approached her.

Shen Zhiyu rolled her eyes and said, "The section chief told me to go on dates during my time off, and I'm really worried about it!"

"That's a good thing, what are you worried about?"

Chen Guofu expressed his incomprehension, saying, "You're not bad-looking, and your job isn't bad either. Tell me, what are you worried about?"

"Brother, Brother Chen, the section chief gave me this. Tell me, is this person someone I can afford to mess with?"

"Good heavens, this is Old Mo's meal ticket!"

Chen Guofu was initially shocked, then patted Shen Zhiyu's shoulder forcefully, "Little Shen, are you stupid? Such a good girl, you have to put in your best effort!"
