Sha Zhu is a bit reckless, but as long as someone gives him a little pointers, he can get quite efficient.
"People from the Intermediate People's Court?"
Sha Zhu reached up and rubbed his face. "It can't be that cripple Jia Dongxu, can it?!"
Wang Dabao picked up his teacup and pretended to ponder, saying, "It's possible, but the chances are slim. Although Jia Dongxu's foot injury has healed somewhat, it still doesn't allow him to run quickly."
"The bright red underwear of Jia Zhangshi is also a suspicious point. No matter how much of a scoundrel Jia Dongxu is, he wouldn't use his mother Jia Zhangshi's underwear to frame you."
Sha Zhu drank the tea in one gulp, then naturally picked up the teapot and filled his own cup. He hesitated for half a second before putting it down, but still half-stood up and filled Wang Dabao's cup with hot water as well.
Upon seeing Sha Zhu's actions, Wang Dabao's eyelids twitched, and he was secretly delighted.
This is a good sign, indicating that Sha Zhu's wariness towards him has decreased.
We must guide them carefully from now on; we can't let the fat pig we've already caught run away with its neck sticking out.
However, Wang Dabao was a little too happy too soon.
Sha Zhu's next words made him anxious again.
Sha Zhu snorted and said, "Hey Wang Dabao, my relationship with you isn't as close as Xu Damao's. After all this talk, I still don't understand why you're so concerned about my affairs. You don't have ulterior motives, do you?!"
"Silly Zhu, you're judging me by a sliver of light! You're underestimating me, Wang Dabao!"
Wang Dabao picked up a cigarette again and handed it to Sha Zhu, his mind racing as he considered a solution.
After a moment, Wang Dabao took a deep drag on his cigarette and spoke again: "Everyone understands the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace. This time they smashed your window, but next time they might smash mine. If we don't find this person, no one can live in peace."
"I participated in the deduction of the glass-breaking incident at the time, but it was ultimately unresolved and we still couldn't find the person responsible. This has always been a knot in my heart, and I couldn't sleep for several nights because of it."
Wang Dabao exhaled a large puff of smoke, glared at Sha Zhu with annoyance, and said in a harsher tone, "Sha Zhu, although you are the victim in this matter, it's no longer just about you, you know that!"
"Do you think I wanted to find this person for your sake?"
“Finding this person will indeed benefit you the most. You can get back the money you paid to the Jia family and also get compensation from this criminal. But have you thought about our compound as a whole?”
Sha Zhu was a little confused. He only said one sentence: Why did Wang Dabao have so many questions waiting for him?
Although the last sentence seemed to be a lecture, Sha Zhu had clearly heard what Wang Dabao had said before.
That's right. If we find this person, he can not only get back the money he paid to the Jia family, but also get a sum of compensation from this criminal. Thinking of this, Sha Zhu's eyes seemed to light up!
Wang Dabao continued speaking, his tone becoming increasingly impassioned.
“We can’t just think about ourselves when we do things. You think that I, Wang Dabao, am helping you by trying to find out this person, but let me tell you, that’s not my intention. You don’t need to feel indebted to me. Even if I help Le, it’s just something I did on the side.”
"I simply can't tolerate the existence of such shameless individuals in the compound. Do you understand what I mean?!"
Wang Dabao tapped his fingers rhythmically on the coffee table, his face solemn. After speaking, he looked intently at Sha Zhu.
Sha Zhu panicked a bit after what Wang Dabao said, and suddenly felt much smaller in front of him.
He initially suspected that Wang Dabao's efforts to help him were ill-intentioned, but Wang Dabao said that he just wanted to find out the scoundrel who smashed the window. As for whether he would help him or not, he didn't care. Helping him was just a matter of course, and he didn't need to be grateful. The key point is that Wang Dabao didn't need to be grateful.
Sha Zhu smacked his lips twice, trying to organize his thoughts, but still couldn't say anything.
Seeing this, Wang Dabao continued, "Have you ever thought about what would happen next time? Who will be the victim next time? What methods will he use to harm people next time?"
“If we don’t take this seriously this time, he might escalate his actions next time. So, if we don’t find this person, it will always be a hidden danger. Can you guarantee that you won’t become a victim a second time?!”
"this......"
Sha Zhu blinked rapidly, licked his lips, and hissed, "Um... Wang Dabao, is this matter as serious as you're making it out to be?"
Wang Dabao rolled his eyes at Sha Zhu and sighed heavily, "I've said so much, how come you still don't understand?"
"Breaking a window isn't a big deal, but this person is too malicious. What do you mean by throwing Jia Zhangshi's underwear? Isn't he just trying to frame you for having an affair with Jia Zhangshi? If that's proven true, how will you have the face to live in this compound?"
Sha Zhu's face changed instantly, and he almost jumped off the sofa.
“How could that be? No one in our compound would associate me with Jia Zhangshi. The criminal’s actions were pointless. You were there that day, and while everyone said it, no one really believed it.”
"Silly Zhu, what can I say to you?"
Wang Dabao's disappointed look stung Sha Zhu, but he didn't know how to refute it. After all, what Wang Dabao said made a lot of sense, and besides, the other party wasn't deliberately insulting him.
"Drinking tea is no fun, wait a moment."
Wang Dabao said a few words, got up and went to the east room. When he came back, he was carrying a bottle of baijiu in one hand and two small wine cups in the other.
Sha Zhu stared blankly as Wang Dabao arranged the wine glasses, unscrewed the caps of the liquor, and poured the wine into the glass in front of him until it was full. Only then did he realize that Wang Dabao was holding Xifeng liquor.
This made Sha Zhu gasp. He was a good drinker and liked to have a couple of drinks after get off work, but this was the second time he had drunk such good wine.
The first time was when he went to cook at his boss's house. After he finished cooking, his boss, showing consideration for the chef's hard work, led the way in toasting him. At that time, he pretended to glance at the table casually.
This is the wine that the boss uses when he treats people to drinks!
"Come on, let's have a small sip together, you two."
Wang Dabao raised his small wine glass as he spoke.
When Sha Zhu saw the Xifeng wine, his mouth watered. After hesitating for two seconds, he picked it up and the two of them took a small sip.
Sha Zhu unconsciously clicked his tongue and exclaimed, "Good wine."
"Of course! If we hadn't gotten along so well, I wouldn't have been willing to take it out to drink."
Wang Dabao had an expression that said, "You've really hit the jackpot today," which made Sha Zhu a little embarrassed.
"Oh right, where were we?" Wang Dabao put down his wine glass. "I remember now. We were saying that people in our compound might not think about this in that way. Zhu Zi, have you thought about what others will think if this gets out?!"
As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles!
"These kinds of things are always topics of conversation in every household. For people who don't know the actual situation, what kind of rumors do you think they'll spread about it?!"
Wang Dabao kept staring at Sha Zhu's face. When he saw that Sha Zhu's face had turned pale, he knew that the "medicine" had been delivered.
