"Well said! We, the people, should dare to say no to injustice!" A loud voice of praise came from the entrance. Only then did everyone see that it was Liu Guangtian leading two policemen into the hospital.

Upon seeing the man in the lead, Yi Zhonghai immediately rushed forward, saying, "Director Zhang, why did you have to come all this way for such a small matter? Our compound can handle this ourselves!"

“No matter how small the matter is, it’s important to the people. Yi Zhonghai, what you just said is not right. Our police force is here to serve the people,” Director Zhang said sternly.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's humiliation, Liu Haizhong chuckled inwardly. Serves him right. He then said obsequiously, "Chief Zhang, hello. I am the second uncle of our courtyard. I was the one who asked to call the police, and it was my son who went to report it."

"Yes, Comrade Liu Haizhong, hello. I heard about what happened earlier from your son. You did very well!" Director Zhang, being a man of his word, immediately understood Liu Haizhong's meaning. However, in front of so many people, he still praised him a few times.

Although he only received one compliment from Director Zhang, the tail of his bangs was practically sticking up, and he gave Yi Zhonghai a smug look, as if to say, "See? Even the boss says I did a good job! Yi Zhonghai, are you convinced or not?"

Unfortunately, neither Yi Zhonghai nor Director Zhang had time to deal with him right now.

Director Zhang thought to himself that he wanted to see for himself what was going on in this courtyard. So many thefts had occurred in just a few days. It was truly lawless. Did they not take him, Director Zhang, seriously?

Meanwhile, Yi Zhonghai became somewhat anxious. With Director Zhang arriving, could Bang Geng and Sha Zhu escape?

"Director Zhang, please have a seat," Liu Haizhong continued to fawn over him.

"Whose chicken is missing?" Director Zhang shook his head in refusal, then stood aside and glanced at the crowd.

"Me." Xu Damao immediately explained the whole story.

Director Zhang frowned upon hearing this, then looked coldly at Sha Zhu: "He Yuzhu, is that right? Did you steal Xu Damao's chickens?"

Sha Zhu was starting to feel guilty. How had things gotten so bad? He was about to say no, but then he caught sight of Qin Huairu's anxious face. Yes, he couldn't let Sister Qin suffer. "Yes!"

A loud slam startled everyone present. Looking up, they saw Director Zhang slamming his hand on the table: "He Yuzhu, I think you're not being honest! The chicken in the casserole is clearly half a rooster, and your people in the compound just said..."

You haven't left the house since you got off work. How could you have stolen Xu Damao's chickens? And if you really did steal them, hand over the chicken feathers!

"Do you really think you're blind? You and that woman are acting so suspiciously. But this guy's name is He Yuzhu?" Chief Zhang pondered for a moment, then secretly glanced at the police officer who had come with him.

His face was now ashen, and he was staring intently at He Yuzhu. Director Zhang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. "Alas, what a pity."

"I," Sha Zhu was so frightened that he fell to the ground, stammering and unable to speak.

Seeing this, the deaf old lady quickly tried to smooth things over: "Chief Zhang, don't listen to Zhu Zi's nonsense. I live next door to Xu Damao. This afternoon, I saw with my own eyes that Bang Geng stole the chicken."

The old lady, though old in age, was still young at heart. She understood that the most urgent thing now was to get the story out of the dog and change the subject. As for the chicken at Sha Zhu's house, it didn't matter; even if the police got involved, they would hand it over to the steel mill for processing.

Qin Huairu was completely panicked when she heard the deaf old lady's words. How dare the old lady do that? But she didn't dare to refute her in front of Director Zhang, so she could only sit aside and cry helplessly.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu wanted to say something, but the deaf old lady hit him on the head with a stick: "My Sha Zhu, do you really want people to say you're a chicken thief and that you'll never be able to get a wife?"

Upon hearing the word "marry," Sha Zhu immediately fell silent. He had initially wanted to continue admitting that he had stolen the chicken,

Then he said that he had a falling out with Xu Damao and that he was retaliating. He wanted to make a big deal out of it and let it go. But now it seems that this won't work. What if he goes all the way and ruins his reputation so he can't get a wife?

If everyone knew what Sha Zhu was thinking, they'd probably laugh themselves to death. You're someone who hangs out with widows all day and steals public property, and you still have a reputation? Your reputation isn't much better than Jia Zhangshi's.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi immediately sat down on a stool and began to sob: "What nonsense are you talking about? My Banggeng is a good boy, how could he do such a thing? And are you taking advantage of us, a widow and her orphan?"

Are you trying to drive my family to our deaths? I don't want to live anymore! This is too much! Waaaaah!

Jia Zhangshi originally wanted to get away with throwing a tantrum, but Director Zhang wasn't having any of it and immediately scolded her, "I'm telling you, don't throw a tantrum here!"

"Our police will not wrong an innocent person, nor will they let a guilty person go free. Is Bang Geng your grandson? Where is Bang Geng?"

Originally, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu wanted to use the excuse that they had slept with Banggeng to get away with it, but unfortunately, the policeman behind Director Zhang dragged Banggeng out of the house.

"Chief, this is Banggeng." The man grabbed Banggeng by the collar of his cotton coat and pulled him over.

"Let me go, let me go, what are you doing? I didn't steal, I didn't! Grandma, save me! Mom, Mom!" Bang Geng was still restless in the hands of the police, jumping up and down. The police originally wanted to slap Bang Geng across the face, but there were too many people, so they didn't have the heart to do so.

"Alright, you're a jerk, aren't you? I'm asking you, did you steal Xu Damao's chickens this afternoon?" Director Zhang asked with a serious expression.
