Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 1020 The Director Has Gone Mad
Director Wang finally returned to work. She recovered quickly after being discharged from the hospital, but she still harbored a deep hatred for the people who had hit her. This time, she was determined to find them and teach them a lesson.

When he sat in his office, he was surprised to find a thick stack of investigation records on his desk. Director Wang was a little confused. She had only been away from work for a month. What had happened this time? Director Wang called over the staff member Yu and asked him to quickly bring Deputy Director Zhao to his office.

Director Wang finally calmed down and looked at the investigation records. Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and Officer Yu, who had made tea for her, came in. Officer Yu placed the teacup on Director Wang's desk and said, "Deputy Director Zhao worked the night shift yesterday and didn't come in during the day today."

Director Wang didn't pay attention, and Officer Yu left her office. Director Wang looked at the investigation reports carefully, and what she saw made her realize that there had been sixteen new cases of being beaten with sticks in the Nanluoguxiang area during this period. This immediately angered the police station and the branch bureau.

Director Wang slammed his hand on the table and stood up, calling out, "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, come in here for a moment."

The clerk jogged into Director Wang's office. Director Wang pointed to the investigation reports and said, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

When Officer Yu glanced at the table, he immediately understood that Director Wang was referring to the incident of being ambushed. Officer Yu organized his thoughts and said, "Director, please sit down. I'll explain it to you, please don't rush."

Director Wang then sat down, and Officer Yu also sat down in front of Director Wang's office to give a work report on the past period, mainly about the incident of being ambushed.

Recently, there was the incident of Sha Zhu hitting Xu Damao with a club. It was confirmed in no time. No wonder Sha Zhu didn't think things through. When he made the move, there were indeed people in the alley. They were just acting suspiciously, probably enemy agents who didn't dare to get close. But when Sha Zhu ran away, several people saw it clearly. The police found out as soon as they investigated and detained Sha Zhu.

Several other incidents were also investigated and verified in a short time. Two of them involved elementary school students, specifically students from Hongxing Elementary School. The two students were not on good terms with each other. One of them gathered a few others and beat the other up with a stick. The other kid wasn't stupid and immediately guessed who it was. He fought back the next day, and then both families reported the incidents to the police. When the truth came out, both families were left speechless.

Four incidents occurred in Nanluoguxiang, three in the steel rolling mill, and one of the victims was a level seven fitter. The remaining five incidents are still unsolved, and there are currently no leads. The injured are quite seriously injured and are in the hospital.

However, this unhealthy trend seemed unstoppable, so the police station, the street office, and the militia company strengthened night patrols, which finally suppressed the trend. This is also one of the reasons why several deputy directors did not work during the day; they were afraid of taking responsibility. When they patrolled at night, they were extremely serious and responsible.

After listening to Officer Yu's report, Director Wang's expression softened somewhat, but she was still resentful about those who attacked her. Director Wang said, "Cooperate fully with the police station to investigate. We must find the attackers, even if it means digging three feet into the ground."

When Officer Yu heard this, he thought that Director Wang had gone mad. They had finally managed to suppress this trend, and now he wanted to investigate door to door. If he angered these people again, and another wave of problems broke out, who would be able to take responsibility? But he didn't dare to say anything to their faces, so he just nodded.

Director Wang stood up and said, "I need to go to the branch office to check on the progress of my case. I'll leave this to you."

After saying that, Director Wang took her car keys and walked out of the office. Officer Yu was dumbfounded. This time he thought that Director Wang was really going crazy. There was a pile of policy documents waiting to be conveyed, and there were also some civil affairs matters that needed to be dealt with urgently. Director Wang just turned around and left after a brief glance. Without her approval, who would dare to convey and distribute the documents?

Officer Yu watched Director Wang's retreating figure and shook his head helplessly.

Yi Zhonghai was happy today, and he went back to the hospital to rest. It's much more comfortable at home than in the hospital. As soon as he got home, his apprentices left, and Li Cuilan closed the door. Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat. What had happened this time?
Li Cuilan handed Yi Zhonghai a glass of water before saying, "Shazhu has been detained, and Jia Zhangshi has taken Banggeng back to her hometown."

Yi Zhonghai spat out the mouthful of water he had just taken a sip of, saying, "Say that again?" Li Cuilan said, "Don't be impatient. Sha Zhu was arrested for hitting Xu Damao with a club and is currently detained at the police station. As for Jia Zhangshi, she heard from somewhere that the village was implementing a people's commune system where people could eat whatever they wanted, including meat, so she took Bang Geng back to the countryside. Bang Geng has even stopped going to school."

“This stupid woman, isn’t this delaying the process? And this silly Zhu, who’s supposed to be smarter, why is he doing something so stupid? By the way, did you tell the old lady?” Yi Zhonghai asked.

“I didn’t dare mention Sha Zhu’s matter. The old lady knows about the Jia family’s affairs, but she didn’t say anything,” Li Cuilan said.

“No, go buy some meat later. Don’t worry about the price. Go to the place I always go to. When you come back, go tell the old lady that I’m treating her to braised pork for lunch,” Yi Zhonghai said after thinking for a moment.

Li Cuilan nodded, stood up, took some money from the cabinet, and turned to leave.

Just as they reached the door, they saw the Yan family father and sons carrying Yan Jiecheng back. Yi Zhonghai no longer needed to be hospitalized, so he could go home to recuperate. Yan Jiecheng had just had his medicine applied once. Yan Bugui complained that the hospitalization fee was too expensive and strongly insisted that Yan Jiecheng go home to recuperate on his own. The task of applying and changing the medicine was left to the second son and Yang Ruihua.

Li Cuilan greeted him with a smile and went straight out. Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses and said, "Judging from this old lady's complexion, old man Yi Zhonghai is recovering quite well. He still needs to go home and rest."

Yan Jiecheng complained, "Dad, other people don't need their dressings changed anymore, they're just waiting for the cast to be removed, but I still need my dressings changed to see how my recovery is going."

Yan Bugui waved his hand and said, "It's all the same, it's all the same. Hurry up and go home. Don't wait for people to visit you like an animal."

After the group entered the house, none of them noticed that five-year-old Yan Jiekuang was standing in the corner, watching them busy themselves, his little face furrowed as if he were deep in thought.

At noon, Li Cuilan helped the deaf old lady to her home. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Qin Huairu busy in the kitchen, and Yi Zhonghai leaning against the bed, playing with Xiao Dang.

When Yi Zhonghai saw the puzzled look in Li Cuilan's eyes as she entered, he said, "Huai Ru wanted to come and help out so you wouldn't be too busy. Anyway, it's just the two of them, mother and daughter, so I agreed. Our family isn't short of food."

Li Cuilan, being simple-minded, didn't say anything. She helped the deaf old lady sit down and then went into the kitchen. Xiao Dang looked at the deaf old lady, walked up to her, and obediently greeted her, "Hello, Madam!"

The deaf old lady patted Xiao Dang's head and said, "Good boy, go play."

Then the deaf old lady looked at Qin Huairu's back with a meaningful expression on her face. Yi Zhonghai also saw the deaf old lady's expression, turned his head and looked at Qin Huairu's back as well. "This woman is not simple," was what the deaf old lady said after she looked away.
