Zheng Ya extorted money from the group of beasts in front of the police, and Old Lady Long and the others dared not utter a word in rebuttal, fearing that he would stage a scene of framing them.
That's tantamount to sending them to the guillotine!
In order to save her own life, Granny Long and others conspired to force Jia Zhangshi to be a scapegoat. Jia Zhangshi, unwilling to pay compensation, confessed to the police.
The old director has learned something new. Such a big commotion, clearly hiding enemy agents and actual evidence, was all fooled by a few words from these old-fashioned, pretending-to-be-crazy people in the courtyard.
Holding someone accountable, but without evidence?
If no one is held accountable, the old bureau chief feels like he's been played, and that someone has been hiding enemy agents and evidence of their crimes. He's so angry he wants to kill someone.
But ultimately, without evidence, we can't just arrest people arbitrarily!
Furthermore, the cases that urgently need to be solved are those involving classified information from secret units, such as the investigation into Zheng Daotong's sacrifice and the poisoning of his mother.
The fact that people in the compound concealed enemy agents and evidence is likely related to a classified case.
In that case, without evidence to arrest and interrogate people, it would be better to play the long game, lure out the enemy agents behind it, and take them all down at once.
Considering these factors, the old director tacitly approved of the underhanded tactics employed by the people in the compound, and also acquiesced to Zheng Ya's extortion of them: "Alright, since Jia Zhangshi has confessed, men, handcuff her and take her away."
"Click!" A tall, thin policeman helped Jia Zhangshi put on handcuffs.
Jia Zhangshi followed the police out with her head down, not crying or making a fuss, which was unlike her usual style of throwing a tantrum and summoning a spirit.
However, no one in the courtyard looked down on Jia Zhangshi's behavior.
This clearly shows that Jia Zhangshi is not stupid; she is trying to make a good impression, hoping to lessen her punishment and return home as soon as possible.
The former bureau chief, accompanied by two police officers, took Jia Zhangshi away.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Wu Wei picked up the everyday items from the ground and walked towards the old lady Long's former residence, rustling softly.
Fearing that walking too slowly would cause trouble for Zheng Ya, Qian Cheng walked with his head down, not daring to look at anyone.
Unfortunately, it was all just wishful thinking on her part from beginning to end.
Zheng Ya didn't even glance at her. Instead, he smiled at the people in the courtyard and said, "Oh my, you made 20,000 last night and 3,000 tonight. Life will be wonderful from now on."
Oh, by the way, send the money over before midnight.
Of course, I'm talking about before noon tomorrow. After all, I'm not like you who hate others for having something, laugh at others for not having something, and climb up by stepping on others. I'm giving you time to raise money for compensation.
Oh, right, the compensation is divided into three parts: one for me, one for Uncle Yan Fugui, and one for Old Shen's family, each worth one thousand yuan.
Okay, that's it. This money's easy to earn, but not having tickets isn't a good thing. I need to go home and think about how to get tickets. See you all later.
Everyone in the courtyard was stunned. Wasn't this incredibly generous?
If we had known this would happen, we should have chosen to support Zheng Ya, then we would have a share of the compensation money!
Damn it, why was I so stupid before? I never thought Zheng Ya would win. I regret it so much.
Ninety percent of the people were devastated, filled with unbearable regret, and hated Old Lady Long and the others to the core.
"Damn it, they're all a bunch of scoundrels, old geezers, and childless wretches. Why don't they just die?" The hot-tempered man started cursing.
The insults, which did not name names, angered Old Lady Long, who exclaimed, "What do you want to do?"
No one asked you to frame Zheng Ya; it was all your own choice.
Now you regret it when you see Zheng Ya distributing money to others?
"Where were you all before?"
"You old hag, are you looking for death?" The hot-tempered guy, fearless and eager to fight, charged forward, only to be stopped by Sha Zhu, who raised his fist: "You scoundrel from the Hu family, you're asking for a beating, go to hell!"
What should have been a normal straight punch turned sour when he tripped over his groin, missing Hu Liuzi and instead getting punched in the face by Hu Liuzi: "Bang!"
Struck hard from both above and below, Sha Zhu was knocked to the ground by Hu Liuzi.
The people in the courtyard seized the opportunity to surround and attack Sha Zhu, unleashing a frenzied retaliatory beating.
Sha Zhu usually relies on Old Lady Long and Yi Zhonghai to back him up, and beats up anyone who disobeys him.
Apart from the elderly, children, and women, everyone in the courtyard had been beaten by Sha Zhu.
At that moment, even the children who hadn't been beaten by Sha Zhu squeezed through the crowd and kicked him repeatedly: "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Ahhh!" Sha Zhu was beaten so badly by the group that he rolled on the ground.
Terrified, Old Lady Long hid ten meters away before shouting, "You can't hit Sha Zhu! If you hurt Sha Zhu, I'll go to the police station and call you all!"
"Stop hitting him, or I'll call the police!" Yi Zhonghai bluffed, worried that the people in the courtyard would hurt Sha Zhu badly, leaving him with no one to help him fight back and be a backup plan for the elderly!
Unfortunately, the people in the courtyard ignored their threats and kept yelling at Sha Zhu: "You old codger, you childless old man, go call the police!"
"The police are here! We'll expose your framing of Zheng Ya then. Who's afraid of who?"
At this moment, almost everyone in the courtyard sided with Zheng Ya.
It's as if helping Zheng Ya would give them a chance to get a share of the money.
Yan Fugui and Lao Shen smiled happily after receiving their share of the money and did not refuse.
Because they knew Zheng Ya's temperament—he didn't care about the amount of money; he wanted to buy fairness and honesty, then give back to the good people and disgust the bad people in the ward—they were happy to see it happen.
Refusing this money would be pretentious.
After all, Zheng Ya is not short of money.
Even after giving Yan Fugui and Lao Shen a share, Zheng Ya still kept 11,000 yuan for himself, a fortune that ordinary families wouldn't even dare to dream of, enough for Zheng Ya to live on.
At this moment, Yan Fugui was pleased to see the people and dogs fighting in the yard. He approached Old Shen and said, "Old Shen, you should help each other out in the future, so as not to be plotted against and harmed by others."
"That's fine. We really should unite to guard against these scoundrels." Old Shen is always straightforward and doesn't mince words.
Yan Fugui then gave him an idea: "Isn't this a ready-made solution?"
"That girl climbed onto the roof earlier and damaged quite a few tiles on Zheng Ya's roof. Shall we take some time tomorrow to repair them?"
“Okay, you set a time, and I’ll arrange for my son to get the work done for you.” Old Shen perked up immediately upon hearing this.
I was just worried that Zheng Ya had given me a thousand dollars and I didn't know how to repay the favor, and here it is! Perfect!
It has to be said that Yan Fugui is a shrewd strategist. He considered everything thoroughly and deliberately made sure to shout loudly to provoke the beasts in the yard.
This infuriated Old Lady Long, who clamored for Liu Haizhong's family to rescue Sha Zhu. Just then, Xu Damao returned and loudly mocked, "Hey, Sha Zhu, are you the war god of our courtyard?"
How could I let myself be defeated and lose the title of God of War!
"Get up, beat them! Hit them, beat them to death!"
While offering words of encouragement, Xu Damao was also looking for an opportunity to kick Sha Zhu to vent his anger.
Xu Damao loved to kick someone when they were down.
This infuriated Granny Long and the others. What was infuriating was that they couldn't control Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu. It was only by the few of them rushing in to break up the fight that they were deliberately injured by the people in the courtyard, knocked to the ground, and chaos ensued.
Has the dog-eat-dog drama officially begun?
If we don't fight, who will pay the compensation?
