Love in the Courtyard: Starting with Engineers

Seven days later, the verdict regarding Yi Zhonghai was handed down, and with a gunshot, Yi Zhonghai brought his retirement plan to a perfect end.

As the closing bell rang at the steel rolling mill, the workers gradually walked out of the mill's gates.

Not far from the gate of the steel rolling mill, a woman was holding a child and holding up a sign with several large characters written on it.

"The rapist Li Yu has no conscience."

Passersby gathered around at the sight, and upon seeing the words on the sign, some exclaimed in surprise, some questioned, and some gloated.

"Good heavens! Engineer Li doesn't seem like that kind of person."

"I never expected that you could know a person's face but not their heart."

......

While everyone was discussing the matter, the security department of the steel rolling mill saw a group of people gathered not far from the gate, and a team leader led his men over.

"What's going on? Why are you all gathered here?"

The security guards pushed through the crowd and approached the woman.

Upon seeing the security personnel, the woman immediately burst into tears, crying, "Comrades! I've been wronged! I can't go on living like this!"

The onlookers, seeing the woman's tearful appearance, couldn't help but feel sympathy. "Could it really be Section Chief Li who did it? He's a beast!"

When the security department saw the woman crying and talking and the crowd arguing more and more heatedly, they decided to take the woman to the security department to prevent a riot.

"Hello comrade, we are from the security department of the steel rolling mill. Is there anything you need to discuss with us?"

The team leader, Wu Wenhua, said to the women.

"I'm not going. Li Yu is a section chief in your factory now. Who knows if you'll protect him?"

"Right here, in front of everyone, bring Li Yu here and deal with him right here!"

Xu Damao, who was in the crowd, seized the opportunity to stir up trouble, saying, "This comrade is right! We must protect this comrade! Let the security department handle this in public."

Seeing that there was no other way, Wu Wenhua ordered one of his men to quickly bring Li Yu over.

While he was celebrating the commissioning of the first self-developed and manufactured rolling mill in the workshop, a security guard came to his side.

"Section Chief Li, there's something that involves you, so please come with me!"

Li Yu was puzzled when he saw that the person who came was from the security department. Not knowing what it was about, he decided to go with him.

"What's going on?" Bai Ling asked from the side.

Seeing that the person was stammering and didn't intend to speak, Bai Ling and Li Yu followed the security guard to the main gate.

When the crowd saw Li Yu arrive, they all made way for him.

As soon as the woman holding the child saw Li Yu approaching, she rushed to him with the child and knelt down on the ground.

"Li Yu! You shameless bastard!"

Li Yu was momentarily stunned by what he saw, his mind racing with questions: What was going on? What had happened?

Li Yu wanted to reach out and pull up the person who had suddenly knelt down in front of him, but the woman's next words shocked him.

"You damned Li Yu, you've ruined my life!"

"My fiancé divorced me because you raped me!"

"I was kicked out by my family too!"

"I wanted to commit suicide, but then I found out I was pregnant!"

"I'm holding your child right now, and I've come to make you pay for the crimes you've committed!"

The onlookers, hearing the woman's desperate words, all condemned Li Yu.

"I never imagined Li Yu was such a hypocrite!"

"People like this should be shot at."

"That's too much!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Bai Ling quickly asked Li Yu, "Have you done this before?"

Li Yu said helplessly, "Do I look like the kind of person who would do something like this?"

"Besides, look at her, she's almost forty or fifty."

After the woman finished speaking, she kept crying while holding her child. Wu Wenhua quickly said to the woman:

"Comrade, please get up. As long as what you say is true, I will not let him go, no matter who he is or what his identity is."

The woman stood up with Wu Wenhua's help, but kept her head down and didn't look at Li Yu.

"Comrade Li Yu, I'd like to formally ask you a question: Is what this comrade said true? You'd better answer truthfully."

Li Yu said, "That's utter nonsense! I've never even seen her."

"How did they find the steel rolling mill if they'd never seen it before? And how did they know your name is Li Yu?" Wu Wenhua questioned.

Li Yu said helplessly and angrily, "How should I know?"

After saying that, Li Yu looked directly at the woman in front of him and said, "Are you sure it was me who raped you, and that the child in your arms was also born after I raped you?"

The woman did not answer, but simply nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Li Yu nodded repeatedly and said, "Good! Good! Good!"

After redeeming an Honesty Red Bean Bun from the system shop, Li Yu suddenly shouted, "Look up at me!"

Just as the woman subconsciously looked up, Li Yu shoved the red bean bun into her mouth.

Upon seeing Li Yu's actions, Wu Wenhua and the security personnel quickly pushed Li Yu away.

"Li Yu! What are you doing!"

Even Bai Ling was surprised by Li Yu's actions.

The crowd immediately became agitated, and they all started hurling insults at Li Yu, with some even wanting to hit him.

The crowd quieted down only after the security department and Bai Ling tried their best to stop them, but they all glared angrily at Li Yu.

Xu Damao was so happy he almost jumped for joy. "I've seen how arrogant you are! You're dead this time!"

Wu Wenhua said to Li Yu, "Li Yu, you'd better give me and all the workers an explanation now!"

Li Yu sneered, ignoring Wu Wenhua, and instead asked the woman, "Where did this child in your hand come from? Did I rape you?"

The woman's next words shocked everyone present.

"I borrowed the child from my neighbor."

"You didn't rape me."

Upon hearing this answer, everyone was in an uproar.

At this moment, Xu Damao lost his composure. He immediately jumped out and squeezed in front of the woman, saying, "Don't be afraid! Quickly tell her that he raped you!"

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words and hearing his occasional incitement of the crowd, Li Yu immediately guessed that it was Xu Damao's doing.

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, the woman said, "He didn't rape me. Don't you remember you gave me 200 yuan to come here?"

Xu Damao stared at the woman in front of him as if frozen in place.

But Li Yu didn't care whether you were frozen or not, and kicked Xu Damao in the head.

Xu Damao was kicked directly into the crowd. Because Li Yu held back a bit of force when he kicked, Xu Damao did not faint.

The crowd, who had been sympathizing with the woman and angrily rebuking Li Yu just a minute ago, were now pointing fingers at Xu Damao and the woman.
