Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

"As far as I know, he would use the canteen's name to purchase some agricultural and sideline products."

"Then let's make an issue of this matter and investigate it thoroughly."

Cheng Yuan frowned.

"This matter can't be investigated in just a day or two."

Cao Xu smiled.

"It's alright, let's investigate first. We'll report the matter tomorrow to put him on record, and then continue the investigation later."

Just as Cheng Yuan was about to speak, he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

After Zhao Dong entered the house, he came to Cao Xu.

"Team leader, Yi Zhonghai from Workshop 4 is here to see you."

Cao Xu knew that Yi Zhonghai had probably come to him on the orders of the deaf old lady, so he waved his hand and said.

Tell him I'm not here.

Zhao Dong pursed his lips and said.

"Team leader, I know Yi Zhonghai and his relationship with He Yuzhu, so I guessed he came to you to plead on his behalf."

"So, I..."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xu immediately became interested and looked at the young man in front of him who had just turned eighteen.

"So, what happened to you?"

Zhao Dong gritted his teeth and said.

"I told him you weren't in the security department and sent him away."

Cao Xu looked at Cheng Yuan beside him and smiled.

"Quite clever!"

Cao Xu noticed it, and Zhao Dong naturally noticed it too. He pointed at Zhao Dong and said.

"Zhao Dong, the nephew of Director Wang of the cafeteria."

Cao Xu thought to himself, "That's right," and said to Zhao Dong.

"I understand. You did a good job. Go ahead and get back to work."

Zhao Dong returned shortly after leaving, this time bringing someone with him.

This person was none other than Xu Damao, who had just finished giving his statement at the police station.

"Team Leader Cao, Team Leader Cheng, I'm here."

Cheng Yuan looked at Xu Damao as he walked in and corrected him.

"It's Deputy Team Leader Cheng."

Xu Damao had no respect for Cao Xu, but he dared not be negligent towards Cheng Yuan, who was sitting in front of him.

According to reliable sources, the previous group leader of Group Four was fired after only one month in office, having fallen into his trap.

You have to understand that these days, it's very rare for people to be fired.

Even if a worker makes a mistake, the punishment is usually a transfer, demotion, or being sent to a more demanding department for labor reform.

Faced with such a ruthless person, Xu Damao chose to keep his distance and avoid offending him if possible.

“The deputy team leader is still a team leader. Regardless of whether you are a team leader or a deputy team leader, you are still a leader.”

Cao Xu interrupted.

"Let's not talk about these empty words. Has Xu Damao's stubbornness really come to an end?"

Xu Damao said.

"I reckon this kid will be sent to a juvenile detention center for three or four months."

Cao Xu said.

"The matter of Bang Geng is a small matter. He's just a kid who's gone astray. It's nothing."

"Just hand it over to someone who can manage it to sort it out."

Cao Xu stood up, walked to Xu Damao's side, and patted him on the shoulder.

"There's a big shot still in the security department. I've brought him back for you. How long he can stay depends on your abilities."

"Xu Damao, there's a saying you've probably heard: 'If you try to kill a snake, you'll get bitten instead.'"

"You know He Yuzhu's vindictive nature much better than I do."

"Alright, I won't say anything more."

Seeing that Cao Xu was about to leave, Xu Damao hurriedly asked.

"Cao Xu, can I go home after I finish speaking?"

“Your sister is home alone, and I’m worried about her.”

Cao Xu replied without turning his head.

"Tonight, you should have a good talk with Deputy Team Leader Cheng in the security department."

"I will take good care of my sister; you don't need to worry about her!"

Xu Damao sighed, "Well, this kid holds a grudge."

The reason he dumped himself on Cheng Yuan was probably because he betrayed him at the hospital-wide meeting.

Cheng Yuan placed a glass of plain water in front of Xu Damao.

"Stop looking, they've all gone far away."

"Xu Damao, tonight let's talk about all that mess you and He Yuzhu have been having."

Chapter 30 Qin Yi's high-five was a pact, it was all a setup!

When Qin Huairu came out of the police station, her face was pale and her eyes had lost some of their former luster.

She walked home mechanically, her mind replaying the words the police officer had just spoken to her.

"boom……"

"Who is it? Can't you be careful walking at night?"

As Yi Zhonghai came out of the steel rolling mill, he felt as if he had bumped into someone, and he hurriedly went to check.

"Xiao Qin, it's you."

"It's so dark at night, and I was thinking about something, so I didn't notice you."

"How are you? Are you alright?"

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai reached out to help Qin Huairu up.

Qin Huairu's previously lifeless eyes regained some expression upon seeing Yi Zhonghai.

"Grandpa, you have to save my dog, Bang Geng!"

“He’s only twelve years old, still a child. If you don’t save him, his life will be ruined.”

Seeing Qin Huairu's tearful and tearful appearance, Yi Zhonghai's heart began to ache.

"Huai Ru, don't cry. Tell me slowly, there's always a way."

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai reached out and stroked Qin Huairu's back. Even though they were separated by clothes, it stirred up his long-dormant feelings.

"What did the police station say? When will they release the sticky rice cake?"

Qin Huairu said with red eyes.

"The police said that Banggeng has confessed to stealing Xu Damao's chickens. According to the usual procedure, he should be sent to the juvenile detention center for three months of discipline."

"Even if Xu Damao gives a letter of understanding, he'll probably have to stay in there for a month or two."

"Uncle, I know you and Chief Wang of the police station are good brothers."

"Please help us plead with Bang Geng to release him."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai felt somewhat more confident.

"I do have a good relationship with Director Wang, but this matter might be a bit difficult..."

Qin Huairu said urgently.

"Grandpa, what's so difficult about that?"

"Please stop trying to sell me a lawsuit, I'm getting really anxious."

Yi Zhonghai coughed lightly and said in a low voice.

"Huai Ru, it's not that I don't want to help you."
