Chapter 2903 Yi Zhonghai fools Sha Zhu, the retirement group turns against each other
The older woman has been a bit distracted these past few days. She doesn't recognize anyone after moving here. Although taking care of the old lady in the courtyard was tiring, at least she could make a living during the day. Suddenly having nothing to do is a bit of a shock.

So he didn't notice Sha Zhu's expression.

"Zhu Zi is here!" Yi Zhonghai, who was holding a steamed bun and about to eat it, was quite happy.

Why has he been so proactive lately?

There are three main reasons.

Firstly, he is considered a person awaiting punishment, and he cannot afford not to perform well at all.

Secondly, they were indeed disciplined and clearly understood that the top leader here was not like the steel mill, who cared about the impact. They couldn't afford not to perform well either.

The third point is the most important. Yi Zhonghai was still thinking about making a good impression, but now he understands that he can't go back to the steel rolling mill. He plans to train more apprentices and then ask the factory leaders to transfer Sha Zhu over so that his retirement will be secured.

"Zhu Zi, what are you standing for? Hurry up and sit down!"

"Honey, hurry up and get a stool for Zhuzi. He probably hasn't eaten yet, having come all this way!"

It's been half a month since we last met, so I'd better catch up with her properly.

"Hey!" an older woman responded, just as she was about to come to her senses and go to get a stool.

Sha Zhu stared with dead fish eyes: "Yi Zhonghai, there's no need for dinner!"

"Tell me the truth!"

"Old lady, did you kill her?"

Upon hearing what Sha Zhu said, Yi Zhonghai's mind went blank for a moment, and images immediately flashed through his mind: the tragic state of the deaf old woman before her death.

As luck would have it, the old lady was making fish soup today, and Yi Zhonghai felt nauseous the moment he saw the fish head.

"Ugh!" The fish he had just eaten was spat out all over the floor.

The next second, he became furious. "Who told you all this?"

"How could I possibly kill the old lady!"

"Silly Zhu, you can't listen to slander!"

"To be honest, who exactly told you this?"

"Xu Damao!" Sha Zhu betrayed Xu Damao without hesitation.

"That damned bastard!" Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his nose was crooked. He was in this predicament entirely because of him. He was even more furious that he dared to instigate Sha Zhu.

This isn't over yet!

“Zhu Zi, people called you ‘Silly Zhu’ back then, and they weren’t wrong. How can you believe anything Xu Damao says?” Yi Zhonghai said, looking extremely angry.

"If it were really my fault, why would the police station have released me?"

Sha Zhu thought about it and realized it made sense. He scratched his head and chuckled. "Grandpa, I was just kidding!"

"You're over 30 years old, and you're still acting so recklessly. When are you going to grow up? Do you think this will work if I'm not around?"

"Uncle, speaking of this, how come you were transferred so easily?"

"That's not important now!" Yi Zhonghai wasn't in the mood to explain this; the most important thing was to trick Sha Zhu into going to the machinery factory.

With a smile, she added a piece of cured meat to his plate, then, like a big bad wolf luring a little rabbit, she said, "Zhu Zi, how about you transfer over here too?"

"The old lady in this compound is gone too, and I'm worried about leaving you all alone!"

"Ah!" Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. "I'm being transferred here?"

“Yes, we’ll still be neighbors. The family next door is moving out. This place is a county town, but it’s spacious. Look at this detached house, it’s much better than the big courtyard we used to live in!”

Yi Zhonghai then proceeded to persuade him step by step. "Besides, Xu Damao isn't opposing you here. With so many disciplinary actions, it's difficult for you to make progress at the steel mill. After all, people stagnate when they move, but trees thrive when they move!"

"I...I'll think about it!" At this moment, Xu Damao was sitting on a train heading to the Northeast, escorting important steel materials to an industrial base with more than 20 colleagues. Naturally, he was unaware that Yi Zhonghai was speaking ill of him.

The train responsible for the transport did not belong to the railway bureau; it was a wagon belonging to the transportation department of the steel rolling mill. The wagons were specially modified and very large, but most of the space was filled with steel, leaving only a small empty area where two security guards were warming themselves around a coal stove.

The escorts were not only the security personnel from the steel mill's security department, but also the railway police from the Beiping Railway. However, they were mainly responsible for the outer perimeter security, while the internal matters were handled by the security department.

"Hiss~" The further north the train went, the colder it got. These freight trains were freezing in winter and sweltering in summer, it was unbearable. If you didn't light the coal stove, it was even colder, but once you did, the smell was extremely pungent.

"Xiao Li!" Xu Damao patted his sleeping colleague on the shoulder to signal for a shift change.

Li, still half asleep, opened his eyes. "Captain Xu!"

"Okay, cheer up!"

After the other person calmed down, the two officially changed shifts. First, they checked the weapons in their hands and handed them to the other person only after confirming that there were no problems. This submachine gun was specially equipped for the operation.

After his shift ended, Xu Damao didn't go to sleep or rest. Instead, he got up, stretched, walked to the narrow observation window, and opened it.

Normal freight cars don't have these viewing windows. They are specially customized for steel rolling mills to make the escort personnel more comfortable. Otherwise, if they had to eat, drink, and relieve themselves all inside the freight car, they probably wouldn't be able to stay there for even a day.

As the small window opened.

In an instant, a biting cold wind mixed with snowflakes rushed in.

Xu Damao tightened his coat collar, greedily inhaling the fresh air. It was 5 a.m. and the sky was already dark outside. He happened to be passing by a small county town not far away, where wisps of smoke were already rising from the chimneys.

"Captain Xu, where are we?"

"Once we cross Shanhaiguan, we should reach our destination tonight. Let's keep our spirits up, this is just the last hurdle!"

The train sped across the vast Liaodong Plain. At this time of year, the Northeast was truly bitterly cold, with average winter temperatures reaching minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius. Sunlight struggled to penetrate the clouds, casting dappled shadows on the snow.

"Ha~" Xu Damao reached out and touched some snow at the window, rubbed it on his hands, and then touched his face. This was his simple washing up.

However, after wiping my face, the cold wind felt like knives and stung my face.

Seeing that Xu Damao showed no signs of sleeping, and having nothing else to do, security guard Xiao Li picked up his gun and got up to come over.

He struck up a conversation, saying, "Captain Xu, once you cross the Shanhaiguan Pass, you'll be officially in Northeast China. I've heard that the pork stew with vermicelli is especially delicious here. Shall we have a couple of drinks when we get to our destination?"

"Okay, I definitely need to warm myself up. I'm so cold from the journey!"

The weather in Northeast China is indeed extremely cold. I opened the window just a few minutes ago, and the temperature inside the car suddenly dropped.

After arriving at Ansteel that evening to pick up goods, Xu Damao, despite being a deputy team leader, was a complete nobody. Since the leadership wouldn't be inviting him to dinner, he simply went to a state-run restaurant with a few colleagues for drinks.

Pork stew with vermicelli, wild pheasant stew with mushrooms, braised roe deer meat, pickled cabbage, blood sausage, and pork bones—all of these are typical local hearty dishes.

"Come on, do it!"

"Dry!"

After eating the local delicacies, I instantly felt warm and cozy inside...

After returning the weapons, Xu Damao went home, but before he even entered the yard, he heard arguing inside.

It's Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai.

"Yi Zhonghai, you old bastard!"

"I never expected you to be such a cowardly bastard!"

"Did you instigate Sha Zhu to be transferred?"

To be continued...
