Qin Huairu didn't have time to pay attention to other people's gazes at this moment; she just kept asking about her son. When Banggeng first came in, he was terrified and cried his eyes out.
But as time went on, he realized it wasn't a big deal, and besides, everyone was there, so his mood gradually improved. Now that his mother had come too, he was even more excited. If he went back to school and bragged about this, everyone else would definitely be very envious.
"Uncle, I wonder if we'll be punished if we go back to the factory?"
Suddenly, Sha Zhu asked Yi Zhonghai, "Life is truly a rollercoaster of emotions. At first, the new factory director talked to us, saying he would give us important positions; but that very night, we were arrested and thrown into jail, and now we know nothing about it."
"Well, who knows? But if we can't go to work tomorrow, the factory will definitely ask, and we won't be able to hide the fact that we were arrested," Yi Zhonghai said.
This is what he's most worried about now. If he had known this was going to happen, he would have taken a few more days off today, so he wouldn't be laughed at by his colleagues in the workshop later.
"Uncle, you've really gotten me into trouble today. If you hadn't called me out, this wouldn't have been a problem at all," said Sha Zhu.
“I called you out so you could try to talk things out with the other guy, but you just started hitting him. Besides, you can’t hit him like that. Look what you’ve done to that little guy.”
Sha Zhu finally realized that he had been implicated by Yi Zhonghai today. He had only been watching the commotion from behind the door, never expecting it to turn out like this. In all his years of fighting, this was the first time he'd ever been to a police station.
"Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai, you can go out now."
While the two were chatting quietly, a comrade outside called out.
"Comrade, what about us? My name is Sha Zhu, do you have my name?"
Sha Zhu was more excited than anyone else when he heard that Yi Zhonghai could leave, but he hadn't heard his name called yet, so he quickly asked. Not only was he asking, but Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu, and several strong men and women over there were also asking.
"What's all the noise about? Don't you know what you've done? Everyone else, stay put. We'll talk about your issues tomorrow at work," the comrade shouted.
Yi Zhonghai realized that he was the only one who could leave. At that moment, disregarding comradeship and friendship, he immediately got up and went out through the open iron gate.
Sha Zhu just stared blankly as Yi Zhonghai left him. What kind of mess was this? He was called in to fight, but the person who called him got away scot-free, while he was the one who had to stay locked up.
"Qin Huairu, you must quickly find a way to get us out of here. Follow Yi Zhonghai, he'll definitely have a solution."
Seeing that she and Banggeng had no way to get out, Jia Zhangshi could only pin her hopes on Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai, who had just left. Old Yi was usually cunning and calculating; if they could get out, he would surely find a way.
"Okay, I'll go out and think of a solution right away," Qin Huairu said.
She was overjoyed that Jia Zhangshi was imprisoned, but her own precious son was also inside, so she had to think of a way to help him.
As soon as Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu came out and saw Xu Damao and the others, they knew that Xu Damao had hired them.
"Da Mao, thank you so much for today, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed," Yi Zhonghai said.
"It's nothing, sir. Your matter isn't serious either. If you don't come out today, you can come out tomorrow," Xu Damao said politely.
"Da Mao, can you rescue my Bang Geng too?" Qin Huairu didn't mention Jia Zhangshi and Sha Zhu at all.
"It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that there's really no other way. I just asked their leader, and they said that Bang Geng's case is quite complicated and we'll have to wait for a thorough investigation before we can get any results."
"I suggest you go back first; there's no point in staying here," Xu Damao said.
Yan Fugui and an older woman standing nearby chimed in. They weren't sure if Xu Damao was truly sincere, but at least on the surface, that's how it seemed.
Qin Huairu was still unwilling to give up and turned to Yi Zhonghai for help. In her mind, how much of a mistake could Bang Geng, a child under 10 years old, make? If it was too much, she could just pay some compensation.
"Huai Ru, let's go back and discuss this matter more carefully. I'm barely able to protect myself right now," Yi Zhonghai said.
If it's true that you only realize the value of freedom when you lose it, then Yi Zhonghai is a perfect example. He spent several hours inside and deeply understood the lesson that you only know how to cherish something when you lose it, so he didn't want to stay there for even a moment longer.
Despite Qin Huairu's reluctance, she returned to the courtyard house with everyone. Once back, Xu Damao didn't talk to anyone and went straight home.
At Yi Zhonghai's house, Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui, and Qin Huairu were all present. Oh, and there was also an old lady from the backyard. Liu Haizhong returned even later than Xu Damao today, perfectly missing the show. But now that they needed to discuss the rescue plan for the courtyard war god, he was naturally indispensable.
"Uncle, what should we do with our dog, Bang Geng?" Qin Huairu asked anxiously.
"Grandma, do you think there's any way to resolve this?" Yi Zhonghai asked the old lady.
Old Yi knows his own limitations. To handle such important matters, he needs to get high-level leaders involved. Only the old lady and Xu Damao in the compound have that ability.
"Hey, Zhu Zi, you have such a bad temper. You always do things that make you lose. How can a grown man be so lacking in shrewdness? Zhong Hai, you did something wrong today."
The old woman didn't explain how to save the person, but instead started talking about Yi Zhonghai. He knew very well what Yi Zhonghai was up to lately.
Yi Zhonghai felt a little guilty for putting Sha Zhu in jail, so he could only silently accept it.
"Grandma, you know a lot of leaders, please help my family. Banggeng is still young, he can't go to jail for this, otherwise his life will be ruined," Qin Huairu cried.
"Huai Ru, it's not that I, this old lady, don't want to help you. I'm so old, I've already used up all the favors I could, and the ones I can't use probably won't work on your Bang Geng either."
It's too late today. I'll try to find someone tomorrow to see if I can get them released. But don't get your hopes up too high.
Qin Huairu usually treated the old lady well and served her well. The old lady did not say anything to refuse, but she did not say anything definitive either.
"Old Liu, do you think Xu Damao really can't handle this?" Yi Zhonghai suddenly asked Liu Haizhong.
“Old Yi, didn’t the leaders at the institute say they’d wait until tomorrow to investigate the situation before deciding on a course of action? Don’t forget, you were the one Xu Damao saved,” Liu Haizhong said.
Now that he's working under Xu Damao and has risen to the position of deputy director, he certainly can't speak ill of others outside, otherwise Yan Fugui could easily report him.
"I'm just worried about Bang Geng and the others," Yi Zhonghai said with an embarrassed smile.
