No. 95 Siheyuan!
Except for Liu Haizhong and Jia Dongxu, everyone else has returned from the municipal bureau.
Today's wind is quite boisterous, and the gossip at No. 95 is darker than the gasoline.
News has spread all over Nanluoguxiang.
“Have you heard? He Yuzhu, out of love turned to hate, didn’t drown Jia Dongxu last time, and this time he’s really going for it.”
“They reconciled last time, will they reconcile this time? Is Qin Huairu really that great? You’re making me curious.”
“Hey, the grudge between He Yuzhu and Jia Dongxu is old news; Liu Haizhong almost lost his life.”
“Damn, that’s really fierce. Hey, cleaner, tell me who did it, was it serious or not?”
“……”
What murder and conspiracy are they talking about?
What drowning and death?
What flying stones injuring people?
In their mouths, the people of No. 95 have died three times on average.
People from the street office have arrived; Director Wang gave Yi Zhonghai a thorough scolding.
Moreover, the qualification for this year's advanced Siheyuan selection has been revoked, and all rewards have been canceled.
This was a huge blow to Yi Zhonghai.
Honor gone, rewards gone, reputation ruined; what has he been working for all year?
“Director Wang, could you please listen to my explanation?”
“Uh?”
“Let me explain…”
“Whether you explain or not, it doesn’t change this outcome.”
Director Wang waved his hand, “If you can stay, stay; if not, we’ll find someone else. It’s election time for you again, Old Yi.”
Director Wang's hint couldn't be more obvious.
This matter must have an explanation; otherwise, he won’t get support.
Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale and green.
As soon as Director Wang left, he exploded in anger.
“Hold a meeting; this meeting is absolutely necessary. What has this Siheyuan turned into?”
—— A roar from the Heavenly Sovereign.
....................
Everyone else reluctantly came out one by one.
But Bu Xiangdong didn’t want to indulge Yi Zhonghai!
He had just gotten home, and as soon as Bu Xiangdong's butt hit the chair, he jumped up.
“Screw this, who the hell has the mood to hold a meeting now, with so many sick people around?”
The hospital staff also returned; mainly, everyone didn’t want to spend that money since it wasn’t work-related injuries that could be reimbursed.
“Bu Xiangdong, you’re just a troublemaker; would there be so many issues without you?”
“Who are you calling a troublemaker?”
Bu Xiangdong immediately raised his voice—
“Is it the old and stubborn Long Laotai, or the seriously injured Second Uncle?”
“Is it the doting Jia family mother and son, or the hardworking Third Uncle?”
“Is it the film projector Xu Damao, or the diligent Uncle Li?”
“I’m not! They’re not troublemakers.”
“Then what are they?”
“They’re not good people.”
Everyone looked at Yi Zhonghai with increasingly strange expressions; Old Yi, you’ve revealed your true feelings, haven’t you?
[Host successfully instigated, system rewards!]
[Ding, congratulations to the host: received 100 jin of rice!]
[Default option, materials stored in system space!]
“Bu Xiangdong, you bastard, stirring up trouble; you’re just hoping for the Siheyuan to fall apart, aren’t you?”
“Hey, you can mess with food, but don’t mess with words; you’re the one who said they’re all troublemakers.”
Yi Zhonghai's forehead bulged with veins.
He was worried he might lose control and hit someone.
He quickly got back to the point—
“Stop the nonsense; you must take responsibility for what happened at Beihai Park.”
“Responsibility… Haizi, are you joking? What does it have to do with me?”
That one word “Haizi” broke Yi Zhonghai’s defense.
.......................
Yi Zhonghai clenched his fists and shouted hoarsely—
“If it weren’t for you, how would Old Liu get hurt? If it weren’t for you, how would Dongxu fall into the water? If it weren’t for you, how would Shazhu get a fever?”
“Damn… what a ridiculous logic. Just returned from the municipal bureau, how can you shamelessly slander someone’s innocence?”
Yi Zhonghai was indeed panicking and grasping at straws.
If he didn’t pin the blame on Bu Xiangdong, this incident would be hard to explain.
“But after you said that, it feels like the IQ of the whole street has dropped because of you.”
Poof!
Someone couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Laughter spread like an infection, rising and falling.
“Come, let me break it down for you!”
“From a results-oriented perspective, Second Uncle got injured; who benefits? It’s your First Uncle, right? With the election coming, the strongest competitor has fallen.”
“I didn’t, I don’t know, stop talking nonsense!”
Liu Haizhong, with his head wrapped, looked at Yi Zhonghai with sharp eyes.
[Host successfully instigated, system rewards!]
[Ding, congratulations to the host: received 100 jin of rice!]
[Default option, materials stored in system space!]
“Similarly, from a results-oriented perspective, Jia Dongxu got injured; who benefits? It’s He Yuzhu, right? He’s after someone else's wife. The best outcome would be for Jia Dongxu to die.”
“Shazhu…”
The sickly Jia Dongxu looked at Shazhu as if he were dead.
[Host successfully instigated, system rewards!]
[Ding, congratulations to the host: received 500 jin of cabbage!]
[Default option, materials stored in system space!]
Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu glared angrily at Bu Xiangdong.
If looks could kill, Bu Xiangdong would already be riddled with holes.
