Courtyard Houses: Starting with the principle of hard work paying off

Chapter 223 The Truth Comes to Light, Yi Zhonghai is Arrested (1 words)

Li Hongbing has a deduction.

If Yi Zhonghai's abuse of Wang Guihua didn't already exist a long time ago, then it's most likely related to He Daqing's two kicks back then.

Judging from the changes in Yi Zhonghai's physiological characteristics over the past few years, he must have suffered a severe injury from those two kicks. His sexual function was definitely not normal, and it's uncertain whether he still has that thing now.

When a person has a defect or disability in a certain aspect, they are often more likely to go to extremes than ordinary normal people.

Especially in cases like Yi Zhonghai's.

Not only was it not congenital, but it was also caused by a severe blow suffered in middle age, which not only brought hatred and humiliation, but also concerned a man's dignity and the world's perception.

At the beginning, Yi Zhonghai may not have developed to that point yet; he was just making some noise to prove that he was still capable and a man.

However, as time went by, coupled with some external events and stimuli, Yi Zhonghai, whose mind gradually became more sensitive, inevitably developed a distorted mentality, and even gradually developed in a perverted direction.

As for the secret of Yi Zhonghai and Wang Guihua's childlessness over the years, in addition to discovering the problem of the medicine not being effective, Li Hongbing also got inspiration from Xu Damao in the original drama.

In the original drama, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e had no children after getting married. However, for the sake of face or out of male chauvinism, Xu Damao also blamed Lou Xiao'e for not being able to conceive.

Or rather, it is the prevailing outdated and dross-like perceptions of this era, and the common practices of most people.

If a woman can't have children, it's her problem.

Even if it really is Wang Guihua's problem, if, as the outside world says, Yi Zhonghai and Wang Guihua still haven't given up their plans and hopes of having a child, then why is it that the medicine Wang Guihua is taking is never related to this?
Does Yi Zhonghai really not want a child of his own?

Of course.

Another possibility that evokes both helplessness and pity is that Yi Zhonghai encountered charlatans and swindlers.

However, the fact that he could deceive people for so many years is hard to believe. Is Yi Zhonghai really that stupid, or does this charlatan truly have the ability to bewitch people?

After taking medicine for so many years without any effect, doesn't Yi Zhonghai really have any doubts?
Let alone more than ten years, even a year or two at most, if no results are seen, most normal people would become suspicious.

Therefore, Li Hongbing felt that this possibility was unlikely.

As Director Wang gradually calmed down, he frowned, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Li Hongbing. He said in a solemn voice, "Hongbing, this matter is related to the issue of women's liberation. I'm going to the Women's Federation, and I'll need you to accompany me."

Although Director Wang already knew the whole story, it would be best if Li Hongbing, as the intelligence provider, could go with him. It would be more direct and clear for Li Hongbing to explain and answer some questions on behalf of the comrades on the women's side.

"Director Wang, this is what I should do, it's no trouble at all."

Li Hongbing readily agreed.

If Director Wang hadn't mentioned it, Li Hongbing would have specifically reminded or suggested it.

Originally, Li Hongbing planned to go straight to the Women's Federation, since it was related to women's liberation and oppression, and was most relevant to the Women's Federation. But after thinking about it, he ended up coming here instead.

Because no matter what, Yi Zhonghai's case cannot bypass the neighborhood committee.

What Li Hongbing most hoped for was the simultaneous intervention of the street office, the women's federation, and the police station.

Only in this way can we strike a fatal blow and completely crush Yi Zhonghai.

The key point is that Li Hongbing knows Director Wang somewhat. She is clearly not the kind of person who is greedy for credit, but rather someone with faith and purity in this era. Therefore, Li Hongbing is not afraid that doing so will offend her or make her dissatisfied with him.

"it is good!"

Director Wang gave Li Hongbing an approving look but didn't say anything more.

soon.

Li Hongbing followed Director Wang out of the subdistrict office and went to the Women and Children's Hospital together to discuss the matter. The Women and Children's Hospital was also shaken.

After learning more about the situation from Li Hongbing at the Women and Children's Hospital, Director Wang said to Li Hongbing, "Hongbing, we will follow up on the next steps. If we need anything later, we may need to contact you again, and we will have to trouble you to cooperate."

"Director Wang, you're too kind. This is all I should do."

At this point, especially after what Director Wang had just said, Li Hongbing realized that he no longer needed to participate in the process. So he took the initiative to say, "Director Wang, I only took half a day off this morning. It's getting late. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Okay, slow down on the road."

Seeing this, Director Wang said something polite but didn't say anything more.

Watching Li Hongbing leave, Director Wang couldn't help but smile.

Working with smart people makes things much easier.

However, since Li Hongbing is not a public official, it is clearly not appropriate for him to participate in the joint operation between the street office and the women's federation.

Simultaneously.

This was also done to protect Li Hongbing, the whistleblower.

No matter what happens next, no one except them knows that this matter is related to Li Hongbing.

After Li Hongbing left, the representatives from the neighborhood committee and the women's federation went straight to the courtyard where Li Hongbing was located.

……

Siheyuan.

At this time, the doors of the Yi family's house in the central courtyard were tightly closed, and besides Wang Guihua, there was also Qin Huairu inside.

Seeing Wang Guihua covered in bruises and wounds, Qin Huairu, who was applying medicine to her, was still shocked by the sight, even though it wasn't the first time she had seen such a scene.

Qin Huairu came secretly, not only because Yi Zhonghai was out at work and not at home, but also because of the awkward relationship between the two families.

Two days ago, Yi Zhonghai publicly announced that he was severing ties with his apprentice Jia Dongxu and the Jia family. As another member of the Yi family, Wang Guihua naturally could no longer show too much closeness to the Jia family, especially Qin Huairu.

However, because of the commotion last night, Qin Huairu, who was one of the people in the know, took the initiative to come to Yi Zhonghai's door shortly after he left for work.

He shouldn't have bothered with Qin Huairu, but Qin Huairu was someone who knew her secret, and their relationship had grown increasingly close over the past six months. It wasn't something Yi Zhonghai could just cut off immediately. In addition, Wang Guihua was currently feeling vulnerable and needed comfort, so he softened and let Qin Huairu in.

"Aunt Yi, why is Uncle Yi doing this to you?"

Seeing that Wang Guihua was clearly in great pain, yet she was desperately clenching her teeth to keep herself from making a sound, Qin Huairu hesitated for a long time before finally asking the question out of compassion.

"Huai Ru, don't ask anymore."

Faced with Qin Huairu's question, even if it was out of concern, Wang Guihua still felt very awkward and embarrassed. Her expression changed several times, and finally she said vaguely and sadly, "It's all my fault. I made a mistake and made him angry, so he couldn't help but hit me."

Wang Guihua naturally wanted to tell Qin Huairu the truth, but these matters concerned Yi Zhonghai's secrets. If Yi Zhonghai found out that she had told the truth, he would not only beat her up, but might even kill her.

Moreover, even if she told Qin Huairu about this, Qin Huairu couldn't help her, so Wang Guihua didn't want her family's shameful affair to be made public and ridiculed by others.

Even though the relationship between the two families has grown closer over the past six months since Wang Guihua and Qin Huairu became godparents, their relationship has almost become that of close and friendly mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Ultimately, they are not really a family.

As for why Yi Zhonghai turned out this way, even Wang Guihua herself didn't expect it.

It all started with He Daqing's two kicks.

Although Yi Zhonghai and Wang Guihua had no children and were unable to conceive, all their other functions were normal, making them no different from any other couple.

As a result of those two kicks, Yi Zhonghai's penis was severed, and the two were naturally unable to have normal marital relations.

At first, it was fine. Yi Zhonghai just asked her to cooperate and pretend, to put on a show for the other people in the courtyard.

As time went on, Wang Guihua gradually discovered that Yi Zhonghai had developed other fetishes because of this, and even obtained pleasure by physically assaulting her.

Even when Yi Zhonghai was unhappy or encountered something outside, or felt aggrieved, he would vent his frustrations on her every night.

Last night, because he was kicked by Li Hongbing and couldn't do anything about it, Yi Zhonghai took his anger out on her.

"Aunt Yi, what exactly did you do wrong that Uncle Yi insists on playing this trick on you, and the way he's gone is..."

Qin Huairu had heard Wang Guihua's words before, but she really couldn't understand what Wang Guihua had done wrong to deserve such punishment.

Qin Huairu didn't understand and couldn't figure it out.

Wang Guihua is a typical housewife. Besides buying groceries, cooking, cleaning the house, and doing all kinds of housework, she takes good care of Yi Zhonghai, leaving no room for criticism.

The only possibility is some secret between the couple, or old stories from the past.

Qin Huairu wasn't interested in gossip or prying into these matters; she simply couldn't bear to see Wang Guihua's repeated misery and wanted to find out what was going on to see if there was a solution.

"Huai Ru, you should leave!"

Wang Guihua had already made it clear that she didn't want to talk about it anymore, but Qin Huairu continued to press her for details. She refused to let Qin Huairu continue applying the medicine, quickly put on her clothes, and said coldly, "Don't come here again next time! If this happens again, just pretend you don't know anything. I'm begging you, Aunt Yi."

"Aunt Yi..."

Faced with Wang Guihua's change in attitude, Qin Huairu was taken aback for a moment, then realized that she had spoken out of turn, and immediately said awkwardly, "I'm sorry! Aunt Yi, I didn't mean to. Please let me finish applying the medicine for you before you leave!"

"No need, and the medicine has already been applied almost completely, I can handle the rest myself."

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua immediately adopted a "keep away" attitude.

"Alright... Aunt Yi, I'll leave the medicine here for you. Remember to apply it. I'm leaving now."

Hearing Wang Guihua's order to leave, Qin Huairu felt she couldn't stay any longer. She put down the medicine in her hand, got up, and was about to leave when she gave a slightly worried reminder.

Seeing Qin Huairu's expression, Wang Guihua hesitated, then finally sighed in disappointment.

Wang Guihua knew that Qin Huairu cared about her, but there were some things she couldn't tell her honestly.

at the same time.

Qin Huairu was also very upset. After all, during the year that Jia Zhangshi was gone, Wang Guihua had taken good care of her and shown her a lot of concern. Especially after Qin Huairu became pregnant and the two families became godparents, Wang Guihua treated her better than her own mother. Naturally, Qin Huairu didn't want Wang Guihua to suffer such a thing.

But Qin Huairu also knew that she couldn't help Wang Guihua.

This is also the most frustrating thing for Qin Huairu.

There was also a sense of relief.

Compared to Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu, though not known for his good temper and often losing his temper with her, has almost never laid a hand on her, which is something Qin Huairu is grateful for.

In terms of sheer awfulness, Yi Zhonghai is still the better choice.

In this respect, others compare themselves upwards, but Qin Huairu chooses to compare herself downwards, which may be why she can find so-called "happiness" in the Jia family.

however.

Just as Qin Huairu was about to leave, there was a commotion outside, followed by a knock on the door.

"Old Yi's wife, are you home?"

Almost at the same time, Aunt Yan's voice came from outside the door.

"Aunt Yi..."

Upon discovering this, Qin Huairu, who was almost at the door, paused for a moment and had no choice but to run back into the inner room.

Although Yi Zhonghai took the initiative to sever his master-disciple relationship with Jia Dongxu, the relationship between the two families did not completely break down. Qin Huairu and Wang Guihua visited each other once or twice, which was not something shameful.

The issue is.

Wang Guihua is currently in a condition where it is inconvenient for her to see people.

Hearing Aunt Yan's voice as well, Wang Guihua could only turn to Qin Huairu for help: "Huairu, go out and see if you can get rid of her. Just say I'm sick and can't see guests."

Although she didn't know why Aunt Yan suddenly came to her door at this time, Wang Guihua clearly had no intention of letting her in, nor did she want to bother dealing with her.

I'm not feeling well myself, so how can I be in the mood to see people or chat with them?

After responding, Qin Huairu quickly went out to open the door.

"Aunt Yan, you..."

Qin Huairu had just opened the door and had already prepared her words, but when she saw that there were far more than just Aunt Yan standing outside the door, she was completely dumbfounded.

The key point is that Qin Huairu not only knows all these people, but is also quite familiar with them.

Behind Aunt Yan, besides Director Wang, the director of the street office, were several other women and children.

Even Director Su from the Women and Children's Health Center came.

Qin Huairu knew them not only because some of them had visited the courtyard last year, but also because during the period when Jia Zhangshi was sent back to the countryside, the Women's Federation would send people over from time to time to inquire about her situation, talk to her, and even persuade her to participate in some of the Women's Federation's propaganda activities and study classes.

They are all acquaintances.

"Director Wang, Director Su, what brings you two here..."

Faced with such a large-scale event, Qin Huairu was clearly dumbfounded and didn't know how to deal with it.

"Qin Huairu, what are you doing here?"

Upon discovering that the person who opened the door was Qin Huairu, Director Wang asked with some surprise.

"I came over for a visit..."

Qin Huairu replied subconsciously, then, as if remembering something, she quickly asked Director Wang, Director Su, Aunt Yan, and the group of people, "Director Wang, Director Su, and Aunt Yan, are you here to see Aunt Yi?"
"Unfortunately, the lady caught a cold last night and isn't feeling well. I came to check on her, but she's already asleep. If you don't have anything particularly important to do, why don't you come see Aunt Yi another day?"

Obvious.

At this moment, Qin Huairu remembered what Wang Guihua had just told her.

If it were just Aunt Yan alone, it wouldn't be so bad, but the key issue is that Director Wang from the subdistrict office and Director Su from the Women and Children's Federation were also there, along with other staff members from the subdistrict office and the Women and Children's Federation. Qin Huairu was even more hesitant to let them in.

"sick?"

Upon learning of this situation, Director Wang paused for a moment, then his gaze fell on Qin Huairu. After scrutinizing her for a while, he said, "Since that's the case, then we should go in and take a look."

They came here on important business. They not only needed to conduct an investigation, but also to verify with Wang Guihua in person. Naturally, they couldn't just be dismissed by Qin Huairu with a few words without even seeing Wang Guihua.

Moreover, Wang Guihua never gets sick earlier or later, but she falls ill precisely when they come to visit, which makes it hard not to be suspicious.

Based on the information provided by Li Hongbing, Director Wang deduced that Wang Guihua was not sick as Qin Huairu claimed, but rather injured and unable to see anyone at the moment.

The reason for this certainty is that Qin Huairu's behavior betrayed her.

The current Qin Huairu can no longer lie without changing her expression, especially when facing these people.

"But...Director Wang, Aunt Yi, she..."

Seeing this, Qin Huairu panicked, but before she could finish speaking, Director Wang looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "What, Qin Huairu, do you want to say what happened to Wang Guihua?"

"I...no, it's nothing!"

Faced with Director Wang's imposing presence, Qin Huairu, who already lacked confidence, naturally couldn't continue to cover for Wang Guihua.

She really can't handle it.

We've done our best to help Wang Guihua to this extent.

Besides.

Qin Huairu was also afraid that if she continued to stop her, not only would she be unable to stop her, but she would also easily get into trouble herself.

However, Qin Huairu did not do nothing. While making way, she took the lead and called out to the inner room, "Aunt Yi, Director Wang from the neighborhood committee and Director Su from the women's health department have brought people to see you."

It was obvious that Qin Huairu was intentionally giving Wang Guihua a secret message, relaying the situation on this side.

Noticing Qin Huairu's actions and understanding her little scheme, Director Wang immediately asked, "Qin Huairu, didn't you say Wang Guihua was sick and asleep? Are you deliberately trying to wake her up by shouting so loudly?"

Just now, Qin Huairu said that Wang Guihua was sick and had gone to bed, and asked them not to disturb her. But Qin Huairu's actions now are quite inconsistent with her words.

There's something wrong with this Qin Huairu.

Judging from this situation, she is at least someone who knows the truth.

"Director Wang, I'm so sorry, I just forgot for a moment, I was only thinking about your arrival..."

When Director Wang called her out on the spot, Qin Huairu felt flustered, as if he had seen through all her little thoughts, but she had no choice but to force an explanation.

Fortunately, Director Wang did not investigate further, which relieved her.

soon.

The group then went into the inner room and, sure enough, saw Wang Guihua lying on the bed, looking as if she had just woken up.

“Aunt Yi, Director Wang has brought some people to see you. This is Director Su…” Wang Guihua didn’t know who Director Su was, but Qin Huairu specifically pointed it out for her.

"Director Wang, Director Su, what brings you here? I'm so sorry, I'm not feeling well right now and it's inconvenient for me to entertain you. Please forgive me."

At this moment, Wang Guihua, who was pretending to be sick, was obviously a veteran actress. She immediately uttered a set of beautiful polite words, looking weak and listless, as if she were really sick.

Qin Huairu's actions of stopping them outside and informing them of the situation beforehand were clearly enough for Wang Guihua to react.

"Wang Guihua, your condition looks quite serious. This can't go on. We'll take you to the hospital."

Wang Guihua looks half-dead right now. Whether she's faking it or she really is, Director Wang has this idea in mind.

Upon hearing that Director Wang wanted to take her to the hospital, Wang Guihua was startled and quickly refused, saying, "No need, no need, Director Wang, it's just a minor ailment. I'll just drink some hot water, take a nap, and rest. You don't need to worry."

If that's the case, they'll probably discover their problems before they even get to the hospital.

In any case, Wang Guihua could not possibly go to the hospital.

I don't know.

In her haste, Wang Guihua's voice became much stronger, which was quite different from her previous demeanor.

Not only Director Wang, but also Director Su, who was also experienced in her work, noticed something amiss. Her gaze fell on Wang Guihua, and she frowned slightly.

However, Director Wang did not expose or question the matter; instead, he offered earnest advice.

"That won't do. We must trust the medical expertise and the doctors' skills in hospitals. Don't be superstitious about folk remedies or unorthodox methods. It's the right way to see a doctor and take medicine properly."

Are you worried about spending money on medical treatment and medicine?

"Never be afraid of spending money when you get sick. No matter how important money is, it is not as important as your health."

"Moreover, as a family member of a steel rolling mill employee, you can get half of your medical expenses reimbursed when you go to the steel rolling mill's affiliated employee hospital. It's like the government is covering half of the cost for you."

"The government is already paying for your medical treatment, so if you're still reluctant to spend money on it, then there's really no need for you to go..."

"..."

Faced with Director Wang's persuasion, Wang Guihua couldn't help but feel troubled.

She had thought that Director Wang and Director Su would just come and leave, but they actually started to persuade her and reason with her.

Before she could say anything, Director Wang made the decision for her, saying to one of the staff members of the street office, "Xiao Zheng, go out and ask around if anyone nearby has a cart or something, we'll take this Aunt Wang to the hospital for treatment."

"Officer Zheng, please wait a moment."

Anxious, Wang Guihua stopped the cadre Zheng and said to Director Wang, "Director Wang, I don't think it's necessary. My condition is not that serious, and it's not to the point where I need to go to the hospital."

Director Wang, Director Su, you are both very busy. Please don't waste your precious time on this small problem; otherwise, I'll feel bad.

"Comrade Wang Guihua, you're wrong about that."

At this moment, Director Su of the Women and Children's Affairs Office chimed in, "Although our street office and the Women and Children's Affairs Office have a lot of work to do, it's all for the people. Now that we've encountered your situation, how can we, as state cadres, turn a blind eye and watch you suffer without caring about your situation?"

Seeing that her words had only given the other party an excuse, Wang Guihua wanted to slap herself twice. She should have known better than to say anything.

Seeing that Director Wang and Director Su insisted on taking her to the hospital for treatment, and that she couldn't find a good reason to refuse, and that they were already making preparations, Wang Guihua became increasingly anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.

Without any choice.

Wang Guihua could only wink at Qin Huairu, who was standing to the side, asking her to help her think of a solution or say a few words.

But Qin Huairu had no choice. Even Wang Guihua herself couldn't refuse, so she had even less grounds to persuade or stop her.

"Wang Guihua, what happened to these injuries on your body?"

During this process, Director Wang and her colleagues "coincidentally" discovered Wang Guihua's condition, and their expressions immediately darkened.

Their initial plan was to chat with Wang Guihua first, have a heart-to-heart talk, and then gradually move on to the main topic. However, they encountered Wang Guihua faking illness as soon as they arrived, so they had no choice but to play along.

"This... Director Wang, I accidentally fell..."

When her injuries were discovered, Wang Guihua's heart sank, but she still chose to remain stubborn.

"You fell? Your condition is quite serious. Let me check you over."

As Director Wang was speaking, he was about to touch her when Wang Guihua flinched and dodged back.

See this.

Director Wang wasn't angry. He patiently spoke in a gentle voice, "Wang Guihua, don't be embarrassed. Everyone here is a woman, and no one else will be coming in."

Given the special circumstances, the women selected to participate in and conduct the investigation were all from the street office and the women's federation. There were also people guarding outside the door, and those who wanted to come and watch the excitement in the courtyard had already been dispersed.

"Director Wang, I really fell by accident, please believe me!"

Just now, Director Wang and her colleagues only saw the tip of the iceberg of the injury. Even though she knew they were suspicious, even wondering about their purpose in coming or whether they knew something, Wang Guihua still clung to a sliver of hope and refused to allow an examination.

But the more Wang Guihua acted this way, the more convinced Director Wang and Director Su became that there was a problem.

finally.

When everyone in the room saw the injuries on Wang Guihua's body, they were all shocked and furious.

There were new injuries and old ones mixed together, a shocking sight!

"Wang Guihua, were these injuries on your body inflicted by Yi Zhonghai... that heartless beast?"

Upon seeing the pitiful state of Wang Guihua, Director Su of the Women and Children's Hospital flew into a rage.

"Director Su, you've really misunderstood. These injuries were all caused by my own carelessness and have nothing to do with my husband, Lao Yi."

Wang Guihua remained stubborn.

But her words changed the way the people from the neighborhood committee and the women's federation looked at her.

"Did you fall like this?"

"Is this what a fall injury looks like?"

"Come here! Wang Guihua, tell me, how did you fall?"

"How could you fall and end up like this?"

"I'm going to broaden my horizons today."

"..."

Even at this point, Wang Guihua still refused to tell the truth, trying to outsmart them and treating them like fools. Even with Director Su's composure, she was furious.

This time, it's not just targeting Yi Zhonghai, but also Wang Guihua herself.

Lamenting its misfortune, anger is indisputable.

These eight words alone can almost encompass all the feelings of everyone present.

Director Su, as the head of the Women and Children's Health Department, has seen many people like Wang Guihua. She knows that they are affected by various reasons and ideological influences, but every time she encounters them, it is difficult for her not to feel any ripples in her heart.

Seeing Wang Guihua with her head down, silent and unresponsive, stubbornly refusing to say anything, Director Wang had no choice but to turn to Aunt Yan and Qin Huairu beside her and say, "Qin Huairu, Old Yan's wife, why don't you two say something?"

Obvious.

Since Wang Guihua, the person involved, was not cooperating, Director Wang could only seek a breakthrough from Aunt Yan and Qin Huairu, who were in the know.

Director Wang knew about Aunt Yan's situation long ago.

As for Qin Huairu.

It was because he had bumped into her earlier that she noticed his weakness.

As Director Wang's voice fell, everyone's gaze fell on Aunt Yan and Qin Huairu. Even Wang Guihua, who was unwilling to cooperate, looked over and became nervous.

Others might not know, but Aunt Yan and Qin Huairu happened to be in the know. Wang Guihua wanted to stop them, but because Director Wang and the others were present, she couldn't speak up. She could only anxiously signal with her eyes, hoping that Qin Huairu and the others wouldn't say anything.

"Director Wang, what do you want me to say?"

Even Wang Guihua herself was keeping it a secret, so Aunt Yan naturally didn't want to be the "traitor" and was afraid of getting into trouble, so she pretended to be stupid.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu, who was standing nearby, also spoke up: "Director Wang, I just discovered Aunt Yi's condition and I don't know anything about it."

Qin Huairu lied while feeling depressed.

She realized something was wrong and tried to slip away, but the neighborhood committee officials stopped her and she ended up getting involved in the whole thing.

Aunt Yan didn't say anything, and Qin Huairu naturally didn't either, especially since she had just seen Wang Guihua wink at her.

"Yang Ruihua, Qin Huairu, I'm giving you another chance. I hope you'll cooperate seriously and, if possible, don't have any other thoughts."

Faced with the lack of cooperation from Aunt Yan and Qin Huairu, Director Wang's face turned cold, and he said in a chilling voice, "Our street office and women's federation had already gathered a lot of information and clues about this matter before we came here."

I assure you here that this matter will be thoroughly investigated, and those who committed such heinous acts will not be let off the hook.

As those in the know, if you fail to report it and intentionally conceal it, that's tantamount to deliberately protecting someone. When the case is investigated, others will be the ringleaders, and you will be accomplices, and you won't escape punishment either!

After the warning, Aunt Yan and Qin Huairu were terrified.

"Don't!"

"Don't say it!"
"Ruihua, Huairu, I'm begging you."

"Director Wang, Director Su, I don't know how you found out, but I beg you, please don't pursue this matter."

"Everything was done willingly by me."

"Nobody did anything to me. I got all these injuries myself..."

"..."

Seeing that her scheme was about to be exposed, Wang Guihua could no longer care about anything else. She knelt down in front of the others in the room and began to beg incoherently.

Faced with Wang Guihua's sudden change of heart, everyone present was stunned. No one expected her to make such a move. Director Wang and Director Su felt their hearts sink to the bottom.

Was Wang Guihua beyond redemption, or did Yi Zhonghai harm her to an unimaginable degree?

Even after things had come to this point, Wang Guihua still desperately tried to cover for him and plead for him.

"Wang Guihua, calm down!"

"Listen to me first!"

"Comrade Wang Guihua, I assure you that no matter what happens to Yi Zhonghai next, your life will not be affected."

“If the sky falls, our neighborhood office and women’s federation will hold it up for you. If you have any grievances or concerns, you can tell us with complete peace of mind, and we will help you solve them.”

"We're here to help you, please don't worry about that..."

"..."

No matter how Director Wang and Director Su tried to comfort and persuade her, Wang Guihua was like a madwoman, refusing to listen to anything. She just kept kowtowing and begging them not to get involved in the matter.

With no other options, they had no choice but to take Wang Guihua into custody.

Given her current condition, normal communication is no longer possible.

same.

This matter was not up to Wang Guihua to decide.

Even though Wang Guihua, as the victim and the person involved, insisted that she did not want others to get involved in this matter, they were determined to take charge.

"Yang Ruihua, Qin Huairu, now we can have a good talk."

After having someone keep an eye on Wang Guihua, Director Wang took Aunt Yan and Qin Huairu outside and reminded them, "Tell me everything you know, don't hide anything. Remember what I just said, I hope you won't make a mistake!"

"Yes, yes, Director Wang, I will answer whatever you ask, and I will not hide anything!"

At this moment, Aunt Yan was clearly frightened by what had just happened, so she became completely obedient.

"Me too."

Seeing this, Qin Huairu, who was standing nearby, also quickly expressed her opinion.

At this point, she dared not try any tricks on Director Wang and Director Su.

not to mention.

The truth about Wang Guihua and Yi Zhonghai is obvious and can no longer be hidden, so there's no need for them to court death.

Faced with their statements, Director Wang nodded in satisfaction, and even gave the dishonest Qin Huairu a second look.

As for Aunt Yan...

Because Li Hongbing had previously "betrayed his teammates," he had slightly embellished her and Yan Bugui's relationship in order to "make amends," so Director Wang's impression of her was obviously much better than that of Qin Huairu.

Even when we were in the inner room, Aunt Yan didn't cooperate directly at first.

What followed was predictable: Aunt Yan and Qin Huairu revealed everything they knew and the situation, and the matter was basically clear.

Qin Huairu, in particular, lived across the street from the Yi family and had discovered the matter a long time ago. Given the previous relationship between the Jia and Yi families, she was clearly the person who knew the most about the situation besides Yi Zhonghai and Wang Guihua, the two parties involved.

Having investigated this far, there's no suspense left.

“Director Wang, Director Su, actually, I’ve wanted to report this matter for a long time, but back at the hospital, Wang Guihua knelt down and begged me like she did just now, and I just couldn’t bear it, so I agreed to help her cover it up…”

As Director Wang and Director Su finished their investigation and questioning, Aunt Yan, clearly afraid of taking responsibility or even becoming an accomplice of Yi Zhonghai, couldn't help but explain why she had concealed the truth earlier, trying to exonerate herself.

"Foolishness!"

Aunt Yan's words only made things worse. They had already cooperated, and there was no reason to hold them accountable. However, her explanation and remarks prompted Director Su of the Women's and Children's Federation to reprimand her irritably:

"It is precisely because of your kind of thinking and ideas that people like Yi Zhonghai are tolerated. Can simply enduring, compromising, and silently bearing the consequences solve the problem?"

This will only embolden the perpetrators, encourage their evil deeds, and ultimately harm themselves.

If something like this happens, you should bravely stand up, speak out, and resist. Go to the neighborhood committee or our women's federation!

We will stand up for you, help you get justice, resolve your concerns, and do everything in our power to protect your rights. Do you really think we're just sitting around doing nothing?

As he continued, Director Su became so angry he was almost cursing, which terrified Aunt Yan, who trembled with fear.

While Director Su and his team were taking Wang Guihua to the hospital for examination, treatment, and further investigation, Director Wang, as she had said, went to the local police station.

after an hour.

Director Wang and the police officers from the local police station, having consulted with their superiors and made all the necessary arrangements, appeared together at the gate of the steel rolling mill. There, the factory leader in charge of security was also present, along with the security personnel, waiting for them.

The three groups met up and headed quickly towards the No. 2 fitter workshop in the steel rolling mill.

Their appearance naturally aroused the curiosity of many workers in the workshop, and many workers unconsciously slowed down their work and quietly watched them.

Under their watchful eyes, Director Wang and the factory leaders, along with police officers and security personnel from the local police station, finally arrived in front of Yi Zhonghai.

"Yi Zhonghai, your affair has been exposed. Come with us."
