Feng Biao stood up and said with a smile, "Alright, Wang Ke, just you wait and see. I, Old Feng, will definitely handle this matter perfectly for you."
"Old Feng, I don't think you want your bonus this month. What do you mean by 'get things done properly'? We're all working for the factory and for the people!"
Wang Dabao clicked his tongue, glanced at Feng Biao with displeasure, and then waved his hand, "Alright, go on. Watch your words next time."
Feng Biao made a slapping motion near his mouth twice to indicate that he had misspoke, then told his three teammates to hurry away to run errands.
Wang Dabao sat alone in the duty room, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and pondered in his heart how to maximize his interests in the face of this complicated situation.
Now let's talk about Yi Zhonghai.
He still couldn't believe that Jia Dongxu, whom he had watched grow up, would treat him like this.
So before heading to work, Yi Zhonghai decided to wait for the other person and walk together to talk about whether there was anything he couldn't say.
Finally, Jia Dongxu came out, but as soon as he peeked out and saw Yi Zhonghai, he shrank back down, leaving only the words, "Oh dear, I forgot where I left my keys. Master, you go first, I'll look for them again."
Yi Zhonghai sighed, his eyes gradually dimming. It seemed that Brother Da Bao was right; Dongxu was frightened by the rumors!
Unexpectedly, the apprentice he had been helping turned out to be worse off than Wang Dabao, a neighbor with whom he had previously had a bad relationship, when he fell on hard times.
This time, Yi Zhonghai was truly heartbroken.
Upon arriving at the factory, Jia Dongxu maintained his distance from Yi Zhonghai.
Normally, Jia Dongxu would want to lick Yi Zhonghai's workbench clean at this time. But today, the person in charge of cleaning was Yi Zhonghai's eldest apprentice, a job that none of the other senior apprentices dared to compete with Jia Dongxu for before.
Who told Master to treat Jia Dongxu like his own son?
This time, things turned out well. As soon as the rumors started, Jia Dongxu immediately hid, which allowed the "good thing" to fall into their laps.
When Jia Dongxu arrived at the workshop, he was too embarrassed to leave. Thinking he should avoid Yi Zhonghai for a while, he ran to the toilet and just came out of the outhouse, pulling up his cotton trousers.
His thinking was simple: the rumors had already caused quite a stir yesterday, and the results should be out today.
If Yi Zhonghai is alright and gets through this ordeal, he's still his master. At worst, he can go over and apologize, make a scene, and even threaten suicide, and the other party will surely soften and forgive him.
But if Yi Zhonghai doesn't manage to evade responsibility, and the security department finds fault with him, he can still clear himself of any wrongdoing.
After all, as everyone has seen, although they are master and apprentice, their relationship is not close recently, and Jia Dongxu would never be involved in embezzling public assets.
"Captain Feng, I'm innocent! I don't even know what happened. It's all a rumor, you can't believe it!"
Just as Jia Dongxu finished pulling up his pants, he heard Yi Zhonghai's desperate pleas coming from the workshop door.
Looking up, Jia Dongxu nearly jumped out of his skin; his heart skipped a beat.
Several security guards were seen leading Yi Zhonghai and his three senior brothers out.
“Comrade, all the workers in the workshop know my master’s character. He is not the kind of person who would steal materials from the factory. You must have made a mistake.”
"That's right, Captain Feng, you must not be misled by the rumors spread by some petty people. My master earns a hundred yuan a month, how could he possibly do such a thing!"
“There must be some misunderstanding here, Captain Feng. Anyone can spread rumors, but there’s no evidence to prove that my master embezzled assets. That doesn’t mean my master is a guilty person. You need to find the person who spread the rumors!”
Feng Biao's eyes sharpened: "Alright, that's enough. We, the security department, will investigate the facts truthfully. If Master Yi is innocent, we will definitely clear his name."
"If the rumors are true, of course we will deal with this matter seriously. As Master Yi's apprentices, you went to the security department to investigate whether there is any suspicion of collusion in embezzlement."
The three apprentices panicked when they heard that they were all suspected.
He hurriedly stepped forward to explain to Feng Biao.
Feng Biao waved his hand dismissively: "Don't say anything now, we'll talk about it when we get to the security department. Besides, like you said, the people who spread the rumors will also be investigated, no one can escape."
Jia Dongxu froze, wanting to run but his feet felt rooted to the spot, numb and trembling.
"Hey, you there, aren't you Jia Dongxu? Come with us." A security guard noticed Jia Dongxu staring blankly at them and shouted urgently.
Jia Dongxu hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, no, you've got the wrong person."
After saying that, he turned around and tried to slip away.
But when the security team saw Jia Dongxu's guilty look, they knew exactly what he was thinking. This guy must be Yi Zhonghai's last apprentice.
One of the security team members chased after Jia Dongxu and pinned him to the ground.
Jia Dongxu screamed in pain, but in the end he could only obediently follow them to the security office building.
After Feng Biao imprisoned the five men separately as instructed by Wang Dabao, he left with his men.
Not long after, the group brought Xu Damao back.
Xu Damao looked flustered and kept trying to explain, but Feng Biao ignored him completely and locked him in a small dark room to reflect on his actions.
Finally, Feng Biao personally led a team to Hongxing Elementary School. After all, it was the first time Wang Dabao had entrusted him with a task, so he dared not be careless.
However, the result was disappointing. No one at Hongxing Elementary School was spreading rumors. Even if some teachers knew about it, they only heard it from the staff quarters.
Back at the factory, the people investigating Yan Jiecheng also returned.
There is indeed a temporary worker in the factory named Yan Jiecheng, and an investigation confirmed that he does live in the Hongxing Courtyard. However, when his coworkers were asked, none of them heard Yan Jiecheng spread rumors.
After Feng Biao reported this matter to Wang Dabao, he really annoyed Wang Dabao.
I never expected Yan Bugui to be so cautious. It turns out that it was his son who came up with the idea, and Xu Damao was left to spread the rumors all by himself!
That old guy is really something!
It's okay, I won't send you my photo or arrest you.
"Regardless of whether he's confessed or not, arrest him first. If you question him, he'll confess that Xu Damao confessed and that they conspired together," Wang Dabao cheerfully instructed Feng Biao.
"Wait a minute."
Wang Dabao stopped Feng Biao, who was about to turn around and arrest someone, and said, "Arrest Liu Haizhong as well."
Feng Biao suddenly shuddered. Good heavens, they'd arrested people from the Red Star Courtyard! What had these guys done to offend Section Chief Wang? Were they courting death?!
"What, you can't arrest Liu Haizhong for spreading rumors inside the workshop?"
Wang Dabao turned his head and stared at Feng Biao, asking a question.
Feng Biao immediately straightened his back: "Arrest him? Of course we can arrest him. We can arrest him even if he didn't talk to us."
"Go."
Feng Biao walked out of the duty room, wiping his sweat. He thought to himself, "These guys are so drunk. Of all people to mess with, they had to be so blind as to provoke Wang Dabao, that killer. Now look what happened, they've all been wiped out!"
