Liu Haizhong, who had made great contributions, was praised by Li Huaide. He was very proud and felt that his future was bright.

After returning home, he immediately hid the stolen goods. Zhou Chen, who had been watching him, clearly saw where he hid the things.

It’s true that although Liu Haizhong was greedy, he still had some brains. He didn’t leave the things in his own home, but hid them in the ground at the door of his house, and also put a few pots of flowers on the ground at that location to cover it up.

Li Huaide acted very quickly. On the third day, he started to take action.

After work that day, Liu Haizhong pushed his bicycle, humming and singing as he returned to the yard. When he passed by Zhou Chen's house, he let out a fierce "Pooh".

His actions were seen clearly by Zhou Chen who was in the room.

"Liu Haizhong, you asked for this."

Just as Liu Haizhong was eating, a deputy director under Li Huaide rushed into Courtyard No. 95 with a group of people.

Although it was already night, such a loud noise still attracted the attention of everyone in the yard. Then they found that these people rushed straight to the backyard and stopped at the door of Liu Haizhong's house.

The people who came to watch the fun also gathered in the backyard. Xu Damao lived next to Liu Haizhong's house, so he reacted faster.

When he saw the person coming, he was shocked: "Deputy Director Chen, why are you here?"

Deputy Director Chen also recognized Xu Damao and pointed at Liu Haizhong's house and asked, "Xu Damao, is this Liu Haizhong's house?"

Xu Damao didn't know why Deputy Director Chen brought people here, but when he saw the aggressive look of Deputy Director Chen and his group, he knew that something bad was going to happen.

"Yes, this is Team Leader Liu..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Haizhong, who was in the room, heard the noise and came out. He was also surprised to see Deputy Director Chen with seven or eight people.

"Deputy Director Chen, why are you here at my house? Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Chen suddenly snorted, "Liu Haizhong, you've committed a crime."

Liu Haizhong was confused: "I committed a crime? What crime? Deputy Director Chen, what are you talking about?"

"Liu Haizhong, stop pretending. You should know best what you did in the matter that Director Li asked you to do the day before yesterday. Do you still need me to explain it to you?"

Liu Haizhong's expression suddenly changed, he looked horrified, and his voice trembled.

"Chen, Deputy Director Chen, I, I didn't do anything?"

Deputy Director Chen sneered, "You didn't do anything? Liu Haizhong, Ge San's family has confessed everything, but the stolen goods don't match. Liu Haizhong, do you still want to quibble?"

Liu Haizhong's face turned extremely pale, and his whole body staggered uncontrollably. No matter how hard the Second Auntie behind him tried to support him, it was of no use, and he collapsed to the ground with her.

After falling to the ground, Liu Haizhong seemed to wake up and tried to get up, but he found that his limbs were too weak and he couldn't get up at all.

"Deputy Director Chen, I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Take me to see Director Li. I want to see Director Li. I can explain it clearly..."

Deputy Director Chen interrupted impatiently: "Director Li doesn't have time to see you. Go and control Liu Haizhong. The others go in and search. Make sure you find all the stuff."

Two people immediately went over to control Liu Haizhong, and the rest rushed directly into the house. Even though the second aunt and her two sons tried their best to stop them, they couldn't stop them.

"What do you want to do? What do you do?"

"Boom boom boom, bang bang bang..."

Soon, various sounds of smashing and destroying were heard in the house...

"Deputy Director Chen, Director Chen..."

Liu Haizhong struggled desperately, trying to ask Deputy Director Chen to show mercy, but Deputy Director Chen didn't even look at him. He had never taken Liu Haizhong seriously in the first place, and now that Liu Haizhong had become Li Huaide's abandoned pawn, he would take him even less seriously.

A large group of people had gathered in the backyard, but no one came forward to beg for mercy. They all stood outside, looking over here with their heads stretched out.

"What has Liu Haizhong done wrong again?"

"I came early. I heard that stolen goods were taken away and are being searched now."

"Tsk tsk, I still remember that not long ago, he led people to search Doctor Zhou's house. Now the situation has changed and he himself is being investigated. It's really interesting."

"Don't be so sarcastic. Haven't you seen the plight of Lao Liu's family? Have some sympathy."

"Haha, you have sympathy, if you have sympathy then go and help, is that really just lip service?"

"Why are you arguing? Just watch the fun."

…………

Seeing the miserable plight of Liu Haizhong's family, some expressed sympathy, while others applauded, but there were more people applauding, which was enough to show the reputation of Liu Haizhong's family in the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai stood at the edge and sighed faintly: "Old Liu is in trouble this time."

As he said this, he looked around, but did not find the person he wanted to find. He suspected that Zhou Chen might be among them, but he had no evidence.

He Yuzhu was also watching the fun, but this time he did not step forward to plead for mercy. This matter was different from the last time. This time Liu Haizhong had committed a serious crime. His name was Shazhu, but he was not stupid. He knew when not to do something and when not to do it.

The person who entered the house to search came out after a while.

"Deputy Director Chen, nothing was found."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong shouted excitedly: "Deputy Director Chen, you heard me, I am innocent, I really didn't take anything, take me to see Director Li, I want to see Director Li."

But Deputy Director Chen just smiled coldly, and then ordered those people: "Search outside, especially the flowers and plants, and the ground. Dig it out for me."

Liu Haizhong's face turned pale in an instant. He had no strength left in his body. He stopped struggling and his eyes were filled with despair.

Soon someone dug up a small wooden box from the ground. When the box was opened, gold bars and some other things were seen hidden inside.

Seeing these things, there was an uproar in the backyard. All the onlookers were stunned. Just now, someone was defending Liu Haizhong, but now, everyone was speechless.

The evidence was conclusive and Liu Haizhong could no longer argue. Deputy Director Chen took him away with the stolen goods, leaving the second aunt crying and shouting.

As soon as the person left, the courtyard was in an uproar. Liu Haizhong was the number one figure in the courtyard just a moment ago, but now he became a prisoner. The contrast really caught people off guard.

"Is this the end, Lao Liu?"

"Yeah, I never thought that Lao Liu had been strong all his life, and it had only been a short time since he started to prosper, but he had already encountered something like this."

"It's useless to say anything. We can only blame him for being too greedy. With so much stolen goods, if he continues, who knows how many people will suffer."

"Alright, Liu Haizhong has already been like this, so you guys should stop adding insult to injury. After all, we live in the same courtyard."

…………

The arrest of Liu Haizhong can be said to be the worst thing that has happened in Siheyuan in recent years. Although Zhou Chen’s incident last time also caused quite a stir, it was just a misunderstanding in the end. But this time, the perpetrator was caught red-handed and the evidence is solid.

No matter how Second Aunt tried to find people and connections, the Liu Haizhong incident still caused a huge commotion, and the leadership of the steel mill held a meeting and decided that no leniency would be shown.

More than half a month later, Liu Haizhong was sent to prison for reform, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back within a few years.

No one expected Liu Haizhong to be imprisoned, and he became a negative example in Nanluoguxiang.

No. 95 Courtyard became famous because of this. Now people in the courtyard have to keep their heads down when they go out. If they are recognized as being from No. 95 Courtyard, they will inevitably be talked about.

A lot of things happened in Yard No. 95 during this year, big and small things happened almost all the time, but Liu Haizhong's imprisonment was still the biggest event.

Liu Haizhong was imprisoned, and the Liu family was completely ruined. Second Aunt and Liu Guangtian and others could only behave themselves and never dared to make any more moves.

Liu Guangtian is especially affected. He also works in a steel rolling mill. Liu Haizhong's incident has had the greatest impact on him. Now he is suffering from severe discrimination in the factory. He is looked down upon and bullied everywhere and his life is extremely miserable.

Liu Guangtian was a man with a hot temper. He was not filial to his parents. He was unhappy and would go back to the yard to curse the second aunt, saying that it was the old couple who ruined his future, etc.

In short, the Liu family is in a real mess now. The second aunt was hospitalized due to illness, but none of the children went to take care of her. Qin Huairu couldn't bear it and occasionally went to the hospital to help take care of her.

Qin Huairu is indeed a white lotus, but sometimes she can also do things. She can help take care of the second aunt at this time. No matter what the reason is, she has done it.

Because of this incident, Courtyard 95 was exceptionally peaceful for a period of time. Even Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, who were usually the most troublesome, stopped making trouble and the place was very quiet.

Liu Haizhong was sent to prison for reform, which was a result that Zhou Chen would like to see. It was Liu Haizhong who overestimated his own abilities and provoked him. This was the price he had to pay.

People do not offend me, I will not offend others, if people offend me, I will return.

Liu Haizhong was dealt with, but Xu Damao was still fine. Zhou Chen was not prepared to let him go. However, to deal with Xu Damao, he did not need to use the same method he used against Liu Haizhong.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 910 One year later!

The matter in Liu Haizhong gradually calmed down two months later.

After being hospitalized for more than ten days, the second aunt returned home. However, after returning, she stayed at home all the time. Except for necessary outings, she basically would not go out. She would not chat and gossip with a group of women like she used to.

Most people in the courtyard tried to avoid the Liu family as much as possible when they saw them, and would not talk to them if they could. It felt like the Liu family was being isolated.

In fact, this situation is very normal. After all, Liu Haizhong is in prison, so he is a criminal. Chinese people still have some "discrimination" against people in prison.

The Liu family used to be one of the best families in the compound because Liu Haizhong was a seventh-level worker and later became a leader. But now, it is no exaggeration to say that their status has fallen from grace.

The Liu family had a hard time, but other families were also having a hard time these days, so apart from the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai who was always "enthusiastic" and would often visit the second aunt, only Qin Huairu would visit occasionally.

Regarding Liu Haizhong's imprisonment, Yi Zhonghai also privately found Zhou Chen and asked whether this matter had anything to do with him. Zhou Chen naturally denied it.

Although this matter was indeed planned by him, it was different when he said it out loud. He certainly would not tell Yi Zhonghai. If Yi Zhonghai had doubts, let him doubt them. He would not admit it anyway.

As summer turns to fall and the weather starts to get cooler, the most obvious change is that people are wearing more clothes.

"Zhou Chen, please help me take care of Huaihua. She has been coughing and having a runny nose these past two days. She seems to be sick."

Inside the house, Qin Huairu held her little daughter Huaihua and said to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen looked at Huaihua, asked her to open her mouth, and listened with the stethoscope for a while.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with your lungs. Your tonsils are a little inflamed. You have a cold. It's probably because of the change of seasons. It's not a big problem. Go home and take some medicine. Keep warm for the next two days."

Children are weak and easily sick, not to mention the change of seasons, when they catch colds and fevers are common.

That is to say, modern medicine is advanced and there are many treatment drugs. In the backward ancient times, if a cold was not treated properly, it could be life-threatening.

Qin Huairu patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. This child has had a weak constitution since childhood and is prone to illness."

When she was pregnant with Xiao Huaihua, her husband died unexpectedly. She was so sad that she had a miscarriage, which resulted in Xiao Huaihua's physical condition being inferior to that of her older brothers and sisters since childhood.

In the past, when Xiao Huaihua was sick, she had to take her to the small hospital at the corner of the alley. Now that Zhou Chen is in the hospital, it is much more convenient to see a doctor.

"Zhou Chen, I feel that you are very good at treating patients. Even the experts in the big hospitals are probably not as good as you."

This is her personal experience. Over the past six months, many people around her have sought medical treatment from Zhou Chen, and basically all of their illnesses were cured. This efficiency is not even comparable to that of large hospitals.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. I only treat simple illnesses. For serious illnesses, I'd better go to the hospital."

Zhou Chen knows the level of his medical skills, but he doesn't treat all illnesses. He will treat minor ailments that are not serious.

But if it is a serious illness, he basically asks people to go to the hospital for treatment. It’s not that he can’t treat it, but he doesn’t want to cause trouble.

How can I put it on this kind of thing? Even if you look at it well, it may not necessarily turn out well, but if you don't look at it well, who knows how much trouble it will cause.

During this period, he didn't want to get into this kind of trouble, so for more troublesome illnesses, he would recommend patients to go to large hospitals for treatment.

"Zhou Chen, have you heard about Xu Damao's incident?"

"what's up?"

"It's about his affairs with my cousin Jingru and Yu Haitang. Xu Damao is a bastard and he doesn't behave like a human being. When he divorced Lou Xiaoe, he said he wanted to marry Jingru, but after Yu Haitang came, he actually started pursuing Yu Haitang again and abandoned Jingru. He is simply a scum."

Zhou Chen was not surprised when he heard Qin Huairu's indignant curse.

Yu Haitang came to their courtyard not long ago. She said that she had broken up with her boyfriend and was in a big fight, so she ran to their courtyard to get some peace and quiet.

Yu Haitang is also a celebrity in the steel rolling mill. Because she is beautiful and has good communication skills, she has dated many people in recent years, but the most recent one is the most promising. However, she did not expect that the relationship would break down in the end.

Yu Haitang, who came to the courtyard, was also not quiet. She inexplicably set her eyes on the old bachelor He Yuzhu, but was soon bewitched by Xu Damao's sweet words.

Of course, it is also possible that Yu Haitang was moved by the fact that Xu Damao was divorced and had good conditions, so she agreed to Xu Damao's pursuit.

Xu Damao was also a fickle person. Yu Haitang's conditions were much better than Qin Jingru's, so after making the comparison, he ruthlessly abandoned Qin Jingru.

"Zhou Chen, do you think Xu Damao is a bastard? He had a good relationship with you before, but he helped the second uncle to frame you, and now he has done this kind of thing. He is such a bastard."

Zhou Chen said: "So, what do you want to say?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Zhou Chen, you are the smartest person in our courtyard. What do you think we should do so that Xu Damao will marry Jingru?"

Zhou Chen said: "If you ask who in our hospital knows Xu Damao best, it must be Sha Zhu. You should go to Sha Zhu to discuss it, not me."

Qin Huairu looked unhappy: "Shazhu is bewitched by Yu Haitang, and his brain is good at taking action but not thinking. Zhou Chen, please help me think of a solution."

Zhou Chen looked at her calmly: "Sister Qin, you are so smart, I believe you can think of a solution without my help, so I won't add to the chaos."

Having watched the TV series, he naturally knew how Qin Huairu would subdue Xu Damao, so he did not come up with any ideas.

Qin Huairu suddenly said in a tender voice: "Zhou Chen, just think of it as helping me. Help me think of a solution."

But Zhou Chen was unmoved: "Sister Qin, if it's about treating a disease or saving a life, I can still help, but for this matter, I really can't think of a solution. I don't even have a partner, so I don't really understand the relationship between men and women."

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes coquettishly: "If someone else said this, I might believe it, but you, I don't believe it."
