Courtyard House: Drunk and tipsy, the whole courtyard exposed at the start.

Everyone knows that Zhang Dabiao was taken away by the security department yesterday.

They're just making trouble for Sha Zhu because his arm was broken. Everyone already knew about Zhang Dabiao being rescued this morning.

So after Yi Zhonghai was discharged from the hospital, he took the opportunity to find Director Wang to make a decision on Sha Zhu's matter.

As a result, Zhang Dabiao immediately reported the security officer of the steel rolling mill.

Who gave him the guts?

Isn't it said that the common people can't fight against the officials?

And if you're going to report someone, at least come up with a decent charge, like hitting you, bullying you, or retaliating against you.

What kind of crime is attempted murder?

Yi Zhonghai had a bad feeling.

Director Wang was baffled: "Da Biao, why do you say it's—attempted murder?"

"It's not that serious, is it?"

Zhang Dabiao took a sip of tea and then took out some hawthorn, nuts, milk candy, and other treats for the girls behind him. Yu Shui, Xu Xiaoling, and others came over, and the young people instinctively gathered around Zhang Dabiao.

"Is it really that serious?"

"Yesterday, three security guards from the steel rolling mill came to see me, just because of the time I broke Sha Zhu's arm."

"Director Wang, you came here today for this matter, right?"

Director Wang took another sip of tea, nodded, and said that he had come for this very reason. A fight in the jurisdiction had broken a resident's hand, and it was impossible to turn a blind eye to it.

She didn't quite believe Yi Zhonghai's story, so she was happy to have this "equal" chat with Zhang Dabiao. She wanted to figure out the situation first, without rushing to make a decision; after all, Zhang Dabiao wasn't going to run away.

"Look, when they arrived, I explained the situation, but they wouldn't listen. They wouldn't even take statements from the neighbors in the courtyard to gather evidence; they insisted on taking me away directly. What does that tell you?"

Director Wang frowned. This was not in accordance with the procedures and regulations.

"This means someone told them to target me. They don't need evidence; just take me away first."

"First of all, their law enforcement procedure is wrong, there's a problem, am I wrong?"

Director Wang nodded, but Yi Zhonghai shrank back.

"Secondly, my father was a warehouse manager at the factory, and he passed away recently. I am an only child."

"Since you've come to take people away, you must know about my family's situation, after all, I am also a child of the steel mill."

"When I arrived, they forced me to sign some kind of statement, which was actually a confession. I refused to sign it, so they locked me in a small dark room."

"Director Wang, no one in my family brings me a blanket. It's the Lunar New Year, and the temperature drops to minus sixteen or seventeen degrees Celsius at night."

"Tell me, if Uncle Xu and Da Mao hadn't come to my rescue, what would have happened to me if I had been locked up overnight?"

Director Wang's face darkened; after this analysis, she immediately understood the outcome.

"Either I'll freeze to death, or if I don't, I'll fall seriously ill, or I'll be forced to beg for mercy and sign that confession."

"Tell me, wouldn't this count as intentional homicide? It's just that they didn't actually do it."

At this point, everyone's expression changed. Indeed, according to Zhang Dabiao's analysis, there were only a few possibilities.

Then, several people unconsciously looked at Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu. Who called the security department?

It goes without saying.

"No, it can't be that bad. Maybe the security guards were just trying to scare us..."

Yi Zhonghai was covered in sweat, but as soon as he said it, he realized something was wrong. Wasn't this an indirect admission that he was the one who reported it?

There's also the matter of colluding with the security officer to force Zhang Dabiao to sign a "confession"!

He stopped before he could finish speaking, but stopping only made him seem more guilty.

Zhang Dabiao narrowed his eyes, exhaled a puff of smoke, and grinned sinisterly.

"Oh, so it was you, Yi Zhonghai, who did it."

"It's good to know who it is, so I don't accidentally hurt others when I retaliate."

"Take a little notebook and write this down: Yi Zhonghai +1, oh, and yesterday Sha Zhu was also trying to get my workstation given to the Dong family, Sha Zhu +1 too."

"Old Deaf Man—I broke his cane yesterday, so we're even..."

He actually pulled a palm-sized notebook out of his pocket, grabbed a pencil, and started writing!

He was taking notes in his notebook right in front of everyone, without trying to hide it from anyone!

Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, and the old deaf man all turned green with rage!

Everyone immediately recalled what happened to the Dong family yesterday—the compensation had jumped from two thousand to twelve thousand!

When Zhang Dabiao gets angry, he can really go to extremes!

The thing is, what he said actually makes a lot of sense!

This was written down in his little notebook. How could Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu possibly escape?

Yi Zhonghai tried to argue, but a mouthful of blood surged up in his stomach, and he held his breath, afraid to move.

But his pale face and the beads of sweat on his forehead completely betrayed him.

Director Wang spoke up to ease the awkward atmosphere. Although the notebook incident was embarrassing, she didn't stop them, since taking notes wasn't illegal.

That was a perfectly legitimate act of revenge!

"It's understandable that Yi Zhonghai reported on the steel mill's security department after Sha Zhu was beaten. As for the details..."

"Let's not talk about it now, let's wait for the investigation results."

She didn't want to cause trouble for herself. The matter had already been reported to the Municipal Bureau, and someone would naturally investigate it. As for Yi Zhonghai's role in it, the higher-ups would investigate; it was none of her business.

Yi Zhonghai, however, was unwilling to give up. Sha Zhu had a gloomy face; he felt this matter was dishonorable and naturally refused to speak. So Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to give Yan Bugui a wink. Before the meeting, he had given Yan Bugui ten yuan, intending to use his "second" uncle and his status as Zhang Dabiao's homeroom teacher to suppress him.

"Da Biao, there's no need to escalate this to this extent. You're still young, suffering a little loss is nothing, and you won't get seriously hurt, right?"

"Listen to your second uncle's advice, give Sha Zhu some money and admit your mistake. Suffering a loss is a blessing in disguise..."

"Then I wish you boundless happiness!" Zhang Dabiao blurted out without thinking, which amused Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng, the Liu brothers, and other young people. They exhaled a puff of smoke and coughed incessantly.

Suffering a loss is a blessing, so I wish you boundless happiness.

Da Biao is awesome!

Is Yan Bugui someone who can take a loss?

No way!

You won't get poor from eating or dressing, but you will be poor your whole life if you don't plan ahead!

This is the Yan family motto, a phrase that Old Man Yan always says. It would be a miracle if he were willing to suffer a loss!

Yan Bugui's face darkened, and he stopped talking.

He's not going to get involved in this matter anymore.

Sha Zhu tried to explain: "Zhang Dabiao, the thing about reporting you was actually..."

He originally wanted to say that Yi Zhonghai didn't have any bad intentions, he just wanted to vent his anger.

But Zhang Dabiao raised his hand to stop him: "Hey, hey, I forgot, we haven't even clashed with you, you silly Zhu, yet. This tournament is just for us to fight, right?"

"That fight we had, wasn't it you who wanted to hit me?"

"Yes, but that's because you made that old man so angry..."

"Don't give me that nonsense. You started it, didn't you?"

"……yes……"

"I asked you if you wanted to beg for mercy, but you refused, didn't you?"

"but……"

"Silly Zhu, silly Zhu, if you want to hit me, you should strike first. You won't beg for mercy—"

"As a result, your grandma rushed out and hit me after I lost."

"That's not enough, your godfather also colluded with the security guard to try and kill me."

"Today we even called the director of the neighborhood committee to help you with your injuries—"

"We agreed that if you lose, you won't call your parents. You have to keep your word. You can't beat up the kids and then have all the elders come running out to clean up your wounds. What's the point of fighting then? Even we elementary school students understand this rule, but what about you? As a man of Beijing, don't you have any shame?"

"Where's your face?!"

"If you had just said you were going to call my parents, I would have just given up. I'm an orphan with no one to rely on. You, Sha Zhu, have some really powerful backers. I'm just a primary school student, I can't afford to mess with you."

"You should have said so earlier! Why didn't you say so sooner? You should have said so earlier!"

Silly Pillar—【&……%￥#&*……%！ ！ ！ 】

Why didn't you say so sooner?

Sha Zhu wants to die!
