Hearing that it was a matter between people in his own compound, Xu Damao felt more at ease. A fight was possible, but murder was absolutely out of the question. However, Xu Damao still decided to go with the security department to check it out.
The security department dispatched a car and a sidecar motorcycle, with a total of 5 people, and sped towards the Hongxing Courtyard.
Sitting in the car, Yan Jiekuang, who had been in a hurry just moments before, now had the leisure to take in the situation inside. This was his first time officially riding in a car; he had seen it before when Xu Damao had his own car.
"Stop looking around. Tell me how Sha Zhu got into a fight with your brother. Shouldn't Sha Zhu be working in the cafeteria?" Xu Damao interrupted the other's wild thoughts.
"Oh, Brother Da Mao, this car is really nice. I wish I could drive it someday. You said they were fighting? I really don't know what happened, but from what Sha Zhu said, it seems to be related to some teacher." Yan Jiekuang replied absentmindedly.
This kid was in such a hurry just now, but now he doesn't seem anxious at all. Judging from the way he's looking at the car, he's probably thinking that he should drive it a little longer. However, Xu Damao could still catch the gist of what the other person was saying from the few words he spoke.
It's related to the teacher, which goes without saying that it's related to Ran Qiuye. I just don't know how Ran Qiuye and Yan Jiefang got involved together.
The car arrived at the courtyard house in five minutes. As soon as everyone got out of the car, they saw a large group of neighbors gathered at the entrance of the courtyard house, making a lot of noise.
"Excuse me, this is the security department. Excuse me, this is the security department."
The crowd was so engrossed in watching the spectacle that they didn't notice the arrival of the security personnel, who could only shout slogans as they squeezed their way in.
As soon as Xu Damao entered, he heard Sha Zhu's raspy voice shouting and banging on the Yan family's gate.
"Yan Jiefang, if you're a man, open the door and have a go at me. What kind of skill is it to hide at home like a coward? I'll give you three minutes. If you don't open the door, I'll kick it down!" Sha Zhu yelled from the other end.
"Shazhu, what are you doing over there? Put down that stick, or I won't be polite," said Wang Xin, the new deputy head of the security department.
When Sha Zhu saw that it was the security department, he stopped banging on the door, but he didn't put down the rolling pin he was carrying.
"Comrades, what are you doing here? Which bastard reported to the security department? You can all go back first. This is a private matter between me and Yan Jiefang, it doesn't involve factory matters. If it really comes down to it, I'll talk to Xu Damao later."
Sha Zhu didn't see Xu Damao standing to the side, chatting with the neighbors, and even using Xu Damao's name to direct the security department.
“Whether it’s official business or personal matters, we handle anything involving the steel mill’s employees or their families, so don’t say so much. Didn’t you hear me tell you to put your things down? Put them down first, or we’ll get our weapons.” Wang Xin picked up the baton in his hand.
Seeing several security guards surrounding him, Sha Zhu knew his plan to beat someone up was doomed to fail. But he was furious and wanted to explode, so he smashed a stick against the Yan family's gate, then immediately threw the stick away.
But in that instant, with a loud bang, a large hole was torn open in the Yan family's gate. Through the hole, everyone could see a person inside staring out in terror. Without a doubt, this person was Yan Jiefang.
Seeing that Sha Zhu was so audacious as to continue banging on the door in front of the security personnel, Wang Xin didn't tolerate him. He went up and hit Sha Zhu with a police baton, making Sha Zhu cry out in pain and fall to the ground. Several other security officers quickly came over, some grabbing his hands, some grabbing his feet, and some handcuffing him.
"What are you doing? Didn't I throw away the sticks? Loosen them, loosen them, it hurts!" Sha Zhu shouted, not expecting the security department to be so fierce these days.
In fact, these were all operating principles for the security department that Xu Damao and Tong Shuai had discussed and devised. The principle was that during routine service, the attitude should be good; but when handling police matters, decisiveness was essential, and the necessary measures must be taken to quickly control the situation and prevent its escalation.
"You better behave yourself. I told you not to move, but you still smashed up the front door. Looks like you really want to end up in the security department's detention cell," Wang Xin said.
"I don't want to go. Section Chief Wang, I'm really not being wronged. That Yan Jiefang is a scoundrel; he's been spreading rumors about me outside. Don't you think he deserves to be beaten?" Sha Zhu cried out, protesting his innocence.
Seeing that Sha Zhu was being held captive outside, Yan Jiefang, terrified, slowly crawled out of the doorway. The Yan family children were all quite tall, but rather thin and weak, and because of their meek nature, they were no match for Sha Zhu.
Yan Jiefang walked over to the security team and immediately objected after hearing Sha Zhu's words.
"Shazhu, I'll settle the score with you for smashing my door later. Let's talk about your business first. You said I was spreading rumors about you outside. When did I ever say that? Even if I did, it's the truth." Taking advantage of having people around and Shazhu being restrained, Yan Jiefang's voice became much louder.
"Heh, Yan Jiefang, you little brat, you dare to do it but not admit it. Just tell me, did you go to the teachers at Hongxing Elementary School and say that I drove away my own sister for the sake of a widow's family, and that I'm a useless person because I haven't had children after so many years of marriage?" Sha Zhu rebuked angrily.
Upon hearing Sha Zhu's words, the neighbors who were watching the commotion burst into laughter. The story of Sha Zhu, told by himself, had a unique charm.
“You heard everyone laughing, didn’t you? That’s all true. Let me ask you, didn’t you kick Sister Yushui out for the sake of the house? She still doesn’t want to come back. Also, let me ask you, after being married for so long, have you had any children?” Yan Jiefang was quite quick-witted.
"What is this if not slander? It's none of my business if Yushui wants to live outside. It's Qin Huairu's problem if she doesn't have children, what does that have to do with me?" Shazhu said.
His words angered the neighbors, who started criticizing Sha Zhu. Having lived together for so long, they naturally knew the inside story.
"No, Shazhu, I don't understand. If Yan Jiefang really wanted to say bad things about you, why would he go to the school? He would go to the steel mill instead," Wang Xin from the security department said, puzzled.
After the two argued for a long time, he finally grasped the crux of the problem.
"Boss, you don't know, that kid Sha Zhu is so wicked. He's already married with three kids. But every day he uses the excuse of taking his kids to school to go to the school gate and try to seduce the female teachers."
As a model socialist youth, how could I tolerate such a disgraceful act against social morality? So I went to the school to expose this fool Zhu's scheme. And just like that, fool Zhu chased me home from the school gate.” Yan Jiefang launched into a long, rambling monologue.
Yan Jiefang's statement almost directly labeled Sha Zhu as having illicit relationships, and the neighbors never expected that watching the commotion would lead to such a shocking revelation.
