Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

Jia Zhang naturally knew the whole process of the incident. Anyway, she and Xu Mingjie had a grudge against each other, so she was of course happy to put the blame on Xu Mingjie.

Xu Mingjie was too lazy to explain himself. He shrugged and said:

"Since you can't explain yourself, then go call the police. I'm innocent and I'm not afraid!"

Hearing that Xu Mingjie had called the police again, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong both looked wary.

As the people in charge of this compound, how could they allow such things to get to the point of calling the police?

The courtyard is currently evaluating advanced personnel. If this theft gets out to the outside, will their courtyard still have a chance to be selected?

Liu Haizhong was worried that if this matter was not handled properly, he would be implicated. After all, he was a power-obsessed person. If he made a fuss to the extent of calling the police, the people above him would think that he was incapable of managing things. If he lost his position as the manager, he would regret it deeply!

When they thought of this, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong interrupted Xu Mingjie in unison:

"Can't call the police!"

Xu Mingjie looked at the two of them and said to Yi Zhonghai:

"Uncle, everyone in this yard is suspicious of me now. If I don't call the police, I won't be able to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River!"

"Since you all don't believe in my innocence, I have to do something for myself, right?"

When he said this, Xu Mingjie rolled his eyes and continued:

"Uncle, don't you want me to call the police because you know who stole the pork?"

"Or maybe you stole the pork yourself, so you're just trying to smooth things over?"

Yi Zhonghai was also panicked when he heard Xu Mingjie's words. He hurriedly said:

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly steal Xu Damao's pork!"

Xu Mingjie was also amused, and he continued:

"Then why didn't you let me call the police?"

"Do you know who actually stole the pork? So you want to save that person, so you're here to stop me from calling the police. Or, you stole it. There are only these two possibilities."

"Uncle, which one do you think it is?"

Xu Mingjie's words made Yi Zhonghai's face turn red with anger.

How come this brat was able to push the blame onto Yi Zhonghai in such a short time?

"Neither of these two possibilities is true! I don't know who stole the meat, and I didn't take his meat!"

"I stopped you from calling the police because our compound is evaluating advanced institutions recently. If you rashly go to the police station, then our compound won't be able to get the award!"

Xu Mingjie certainly knew that Yi Zhonghai was telling the truth, but he would not continue his words. He continued:

"Uncle Yi, you have to prove that what you said is true. How would I know if you are using this as an excuse to cover up the person who stole the meat?"

Xu Mingjie's words left Yi Zhonghai speechless. How could he prove that it was really for the purpose of being evaluated as an advanced worker? !

After trembling for a long time, he couldn't say anything:

"you!"

Xu Mingjie just smiled and looked at Yi Zhonghai, then continued:

"How about this, give me your eight dollars and we'll forget about this matter. After all, you've damaged my reputation. Use this money to compensate me, and I won't say anything more about you."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened when she heard this. She looked at Xu Mingjie in disbelief:

"what?!"

"I still have to give you money?!"

Xu Mingjie replied with a smile:

"Yes, otherwise how can I defend myself if you slander me like this?"

"It's okay if you don't want to give it to me, we can call the police! Someone will always seek justice for me!"

"No, no, you can't call the police!"

Yi Zhonghai said that there was no way he would report this matter to the police station, and he glared at Xu Mingjie.

Seeing that Xu Mingjie was determined to call the police, Yi Zhonghai was helpless. He had no way to refute Xu Mingjie now.

Yi Zhonghai is now regretting his decision. He shouldn't have pushed the responsibility of stealing the meat onto Xu Mingjie. Now he has to pay the money himself.

Just give it to them. It’s better than making a big deal out of it and losing the chance for their courtyard to be evaluated as advanced.

After careful consideration, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to take out eight dollars from his pocket.

"Here! Take it, take it. I'll compensate you!"

Xu Mingjie took the eight yuan with a smile on his face, and then said solemnly to the neighbors around him:

"Look carefully, these few dollars are compensation from an old man for my loss. It's not about stealing meat or not. It has nothing to do with this!"

Yi Zhonghai's face turned green. He couldn't do anything to Xu Mingjie even if he was standing next to him!

At this time, Xu Mingjie then set his eyes on Xu Damao and said to him:

"Well, now I can prove that I didn't steal the meat. Uncle One and Uncle Two will definitely seek justice for you."

"Of course, I also believe that our uncle didn't steal your meat. After all, he has such a high prestige in our courtyard. I believe in his character!"

Yi Zhonghai felt more uncomfortable than eating shit when he heard Xu Mingjie's words. He didn't want to see this kid Xu Mingjie.

He just took out eight dollars and gave it to Xu Mingjie.

In this day and age, eight dollars is a huge sum of money. The living expenses for a family are only a dozen dollars at most!

Although Yi Zhonghai now earns a high salary at the steel factory, eight yuan is still money. He gave it to Xu Mingjie for no reason, which made him very sad.

Yi Zhonghai glared at Xu Mingjie unhappily, but ultimately said nothing more.

Xu Damao was also dumbfounded when he saw Xu Mingjie's entire operation.

He was clearly the victim in this matter, and Xu Mingjie was just joining in the fun. How could he still make a few bucks from Yi Zhonghai? !

Xu Damao didn't think about it too much. After all, he just wanted to find out which thief stole his meat.

He looked at Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong and cried:

"Uncle No. 1 and Uncle No. 2, you are the ones in charge of our yard. My meat has been stolen, and the thief has not been found yet!"

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong also looked troubled. It was impossible for Yi Zhonghai to really push Sha Zhu out.

When Liu Haizhong saw the situation in front of him, he coughed twice and said:

"How about this, since we can't find the thief now, let's gather together as neighbors and hold a meeting to find the thief together!"

Liu Haizhong wanted to take advantage of this incident to satisfy his desire for power. He finally got a chance to have the final say, so he couldn't let it go.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to protect Sha Zhu. When he heard what Liu Haizhong said, he waved his hand and said:

"In my opinion, it's dinner time now, and the neighbors may not have eaten dinner yet. Why don't we go home and eat first, and then we can talk about it later?"
