Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
My first thought was that there were informants everywhere in this factory, so I'll have to be careful in the future.
Yan Bugui frowned and said, "So, Jie Cheng, like Da Mao, was discovered by the security department's informants to be spreading rumors, which is why he was targeted."
"They were only taken to the security department after further confirmation and evidence was obtained."
Wang Dabao flicked his cigarette ash and, upon hearing Yan Bugui address Xu Damao as Damao, realized that Yan had become somewhat complacent about the matter and had accepted Liu Haizhong's suggestion of a "spy" report.
"Based on the clues we have now, that should be the case. As long as we stop talking about Yi Zhonghai, we don't need to be afraid of those spies. However, everyone should be more discreet in their words and actions recently, and avoid getting together with their coworkers to chat about trivial matters."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this point, Yan Bugui and his son, along with Liu Haizhong, no longer mentioned the matter of Xu Damao providing compensation.
Xu Damao knew he couldn't get any money out of Yan Bugui, so he didn't press Yan Jiecheng about his bad ideas.
Yan Jiecheng muttered under his breath, "If only we knew who the informant was, we'd definitely shoot him in the back."
Wang Dabao smiled and said, "It's not that easy. I bet the informant is very well hidden, and there might be more than one person. Let's assume everyone could be an informant, and then we should watch what we say from now on."
"Da Bao is right. Let's keep this matter to ourselves and no one is allowed to mention it again."
Yan Bugui agreed wholeheartedly, nodding and saying, "There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. If Yi Zhonghai finds out, it will inevitably cause us trouble again."
After the matter was resolved, everyone chatted for a few more minutes before going their separate ways.
Everyone was a little more vigilant, afraid that they might be spotted by those unseen informants if they weren't careful.
When Jia Dongxu returned home from get off work, Jia Zhangshi was taken aback to see that his hands were empty.
"I was so busy today that I forgot to buy meat," Jia Dongxu said helplessly.
Jia Zhangshi sighed. Bang Geng had been looking forward to this meat meal ever since he came home from school, and now he'd probably be crying and wailing again.
Sure enough, after Jia Zhangshi entered the room and said a few words, Banggeng's crying and wailing soon came from inside: "No, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!"
The more Qin Huairu tried to coax him, the louder Banggeng cried.
Madam Jia couldn't bear to watch any longer. She came out from the inner room and looked at Jia Dongxu, saying, "If it doesn't work, let's go buy two taels now, good or bad, it doesn't matter."
"this......"
Jia Dongxu hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should tell Jia Zhangshi the truth.
Finally, he pulled Jia Zhangshi aside and quietly recounted what had happened that day.
After hearing her eldest son's story, Jia Zhangshi's face fell instantly. "Oh dear, what are we going to do? We were just joking before, did you really dare to turn against Yi Zhonghai?!"
"Dongxu, what can I say to you? You should have just kept those thoughts to yourself, but you dared to say them aloud, and even write them down..."
Madam Jia was extremely disappointed in Jia Dongxu and kept slapping him.
"Mom, things have already come to this, there's nothing I can do."
Jia Dongxu also looked distressed. "If all else fails, I'll go to Yi Zhonghai's house and beg for forgiveness. He has no children, so he can't really abandon me as his apprentice. Who will take care of him in his old age?"
After saying that, Jia Dongxu turned around and sat down in the chair.
After a while, Jia Dongxu still couldn't think of a good solution, and too lazy to listen to Jia Zhangshi's nagging, he opened the door and thought he would go into the yard to smoke a cigarette and get some fresh air.
As soon as I lit a cigarette, I heard a clanging sound coming from the backyard.
He took a few steps into the backyard with a cigarette in his mouth, and by the dim light from Xu Damao's door, he saw that it was Yan Bugui and his son knocking on the door.
Jia Dongxu took the cigarette out of his mouth and cautiously approached. Only after the Yan family father and son entered the door did he move closer.
When he came home from get off work, he saw the Yan father and son sitting at the door, and he knew something was wrong. Now the two of them came to Xu Damao’s house in a great mood, and he couldn’t help but be curious to hear what they were saying inside.
I was afraid of being discovered if I leaned against the door to listen, but I couldn't hear clearly if I moved too far away.
He could only vaguely hear Yan Jiekuang saying something like he was forcing Xu Damao to give him money, and something about the security department. However, Jia Dongxu did not see Yan and his son at the security department that morning, so he did not associate it with the rumors.
Just as he was about to continue listening, he saw light coming from the east wing, and someone from Old Liu's family came out.
Left with no other choice, Jia Dongxu had to return to the Intermediate Court.
He happened to run into Jia Zhangshi calling him, so he went home.
When Yi Zhonghai got home, he became angrier and angrier, cursing Liu Haizhong as a scoundrel.
"This Liu Haizhong, how come I never realized he was so cunning and treacherous? Today he dared to show me no respect at all!"
After pouring half a teacup of hot water, Yi Zhonghai sat in his chair, sulking, his eyes filled with anger.
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai's wife hurriedly asked, "Husband, who are you getting angry at? What happened at the factory?"
Yi Zhonghai told his wife about the outcome of the case, but kept his report against Zhao Laosan a secret.
Finally, he emphasized the arrogant attitude of Liu Haizhong when he encountered him on his way home from get off work.
"Forget it, there's no need to get angry with him."
Yi Zhonghai's wife picked up the hand warmer to fill the tea mug with hot water. "Back then, you were the boss, always one step ahead of him. He must have been resentful all these years. Now that he's the boss, he'll definitely try to get back at you. Let him say a few words, don't take it to heart."
Yi Zhonghai slammed his hand on the table. "No way! I can't swallow this!"
Seeing that her persuasion was ineffective, Yi Zhonghai's wife could only change the subject: "What are you planning to do about Dongxu?"
"What else can we do?!"
Yi Zhonghai felt furious when he mentioned Jia Dongxu. The legendary situation of raising an ungrateful wretch had actually happened to him. "I have made it very clear to him that I am no longer his master, and I will no longer care about his family's affairs. Consider the grain I gave his family before as food that was fed to the dogs."
"Was the child forced to write those things?"
"Nonsense, can't I tell if you forced me or not? Your words are full of dissatisfaction with me; it's just venting your anger."
Yi Zhonghai grabbed the teacup and, without caring whether it was hot or not, gulped down two large mouthfuls.
After the meal, Yi Zhonghai couldn't sit still for a moment and went straight to Wang Dabao's house in the backyard.
He wondered if he could spend some more money and use Wang Dabao's comrade-in-arms connections to eliminate the negative impact the factory had on him.
