Time flies, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye. When Ma Hua finally strolled to the canteen, the canteen manager was already standing at the kitchen door, seemingly having been waiting for quite some time.

Upon seeing MCA approaching, he immediately called out to them, "MCA, come here for a moment."

Ma Hua was somewhat surprised by Director Wang's attitude, but he still obediently followed Director Wang into the office.

As soon as he entered the office, Director Wang's expression changed, and he said to Ma Hua in a friendly manner, "You rascal, you've done such a big thing for me in just one day."

"Hehe, you already knew?" Ma Hua scratched his head sheepishly.

"How could I not know? You have no idea, but Director Li sent someone to notify me of a meeting in the middle of the night last night. But you can't do that again, kid. If it weren't for Li Huaide protecting you because he sees you as useful..."

You'll probably be transferred to the workshop, you know that? Alright, don't worry about it anymore. Just do your job well from now on, and the rest is none of your business, understand? And don't talk about it to anyone else.”

“Yes,” Ma Hua nodded, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then left.

Just before lunchtime, Ma Hua noticed Liu Lan and the others chatting animatedly. Seeing Ma Hua looking over, they immediately waved him over: "Ma Hua, come here."

Liu Lan waited until Ma Hua approached before quietly asking, "I heard your courtyard was quite lively yesterday!"

"It's alright," Ma Hua said without speaking, but he looked Liu Lan up and down, making Liu Lan a little embarrassed.

"What are you looking at? Tell us quickly, what exactly happened in your courtyard last night?" Liu Lan's eyes lit up, her gossip instincts overflowing.

"You'll see soon enough," Ma Hua quickly waved his hand, what could he possibly say?

He said he instigated Liu Haizhong to hand Sha Zhu and the others over to the police. Come on, that's just asking for trouble. But the news spread really fast; in just half a day, it was everywhere.

Good heavens, does the steel rolling mill have no secrets? Besides, Director Wang just told me not to talk about this.

In contrast to the lively atmosphere on the MCA side, Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai's side fared much worse. However, things indeed turned out as the deaf old lady had predicted; Director Zhang interrogated Sha Zhu and Bang Geng for a while.

He immediately sent the man to the steel rolling mill's security department. He dared not touch this matter; the situation was too complicated, and it was beyond the capabilities of a mere section chief.

Yi Zhonghai arrived at the security office early in the morning with Qin Huairu. The security guards, seeing it was the two of them, didn't say anything, just smiled, accepted the cigarettes they offered, gave them a few instructions, and then let them in.

Upon entering the room, Yi Zhonghai saw Sha Zhu and Bang Geng curled up on the bed. He feigned concern and asked, "Zhu Zi, are you alright? They didn't mistreat you, did they?"

"It's nothing, what could possibly happen to me!" Sha Zhu said with a relaxed expression. This wasn't the first time; he was used to it.

"Oh, I'm so glad you're alright. You have no idea how much trouble Huai Ru and the old lady were going through all night because of you," Yi Zhonghai sighed.

Banggeng was also awakened by the two people's voices. He then realized that it was his mother and an old man who had come. He immediately cried and shouted, "Mom, please save me! I don't want to stay here. Please, please get me out of here."

"Hey, what are you afraid of? I'm telling you, we'll be out in a minute. Look at you, so pathetic!" Sha Zhu said, patting Bang Geng's head with a carefree smile.

Banggeng didn't reply, but rushed into Qin Huairu's arms. His chubby little face was now red from the cold, and his once neat clothes were now dirty. Qin Huairu felt so sorry for him.

Qin Huairu hugged the stick tightly to her chest and quickly put on a pitiful look, saying to Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu, "Grandpa, are you really alright?"

I'm really worried. Bang Geng is so young, he's just a child, and he has to suffer like this. It breaks my heart, sob sob sob.

Qin Huairu's tears fell instantly, quickly covering her cheeks. Seeing her so delicate, Sha Zhu swallowed hard and said, "Sister Qin, don't worry. The leaders came yesterday, and I took everything upon myself. Don't worry, Bang Geng will be out soon."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu finally felt relieved. As for what punishment Sha Zhu would receive, it was none of her business. As long as Bang Geng was alright, that was all that mattered.

"Zhu Zi, I really have to thank you for this. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know how I would have survived. Zhu Zi, you're such a good person. Bang Geng, you have to listen to your silly uncle from now on, okay?"

After expressing her gratitude, Qin Huairu immediately scolded the little dog in her arms.

Normally, Banggeng would definitely talk back, saying things like "Silly Uncle" and that he's an adult and should call him "Silly Zhu." But what happened yesterday had scared Banggeng half to death, so he immediately snuggled into Qin Huairu's arms and nodded frantically, saying he'd call her "Dad" as long as she let him out.

Upon seeing this, Sha Zhu immediately chuckled, as if he had done something of immense importance.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Yi Zhonghai immediately asked Sha Zhu, "Zhu Zi, what did the leader say?"

"That's right, we need Xu Damao to issue a letter of understanding. The rest is an internal punishment within our factory. That's all. Oh, and you can take the sticks back now."

Sha Zhu said nonchalantly, "As for whether Xu Damao will write it or not, is that even a question? Does he dare not write it? Does he really think I'm called the God of War of the Courtyard for nothing?"

"Alright, don't worry about it. Zhu Zi, you've helped my family so much already. I'll do anything to get Xu Damao to write it. Don't worry, Zhu Zi, I'll remember your kindness for the rest of my life," Qin Huairu said, her charming peach blossom eyes blinking as she looked at the silly Zhu Zi.

"Okay, then I'll thank you in advance, Sister Qin. If that bastard Xu Damao dares to give you any trouble, just tell me, and I'll deal with him when I get out," Sha Zhu said, moved. He was so grateful to have Sister Qin do so much for him.
