Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

The next day.

Not long after He Yuzhu started work, Liu Lan came to him with an excited look on her face.

"Zhu Zi, Liu Haizhong seems to be from the same compound as you, right?"

"Yes! What's wrong?" He Yuzhu asked puzzledly.

Liu Lan said with a gossipy look on her face: "I heard that Liu Haizhong's last two sons were not his biological children, but were bastards born from his wife's affair. Is that true?"

He Yuzhu raised his eyes slightly, "Who told you that?"

Liu Lan said without hesitation: "I heard from Wu Laogen from the second workshop that this matter has now spread throughout the steel mill."

Hearing this, He Yuzhui showed a playful smile on his face. He was certain that this was definitely the work of Yi Zhonghai.

This Yi Zhonghai is really a vindictive villain. Liu Haizhong ruined his reputation last night, and he started spreading rumors early this morning, trying to discredit Liu Haizhong's entire family.

Also, Yi Zhonghai's plan was quite tricky. It was well known that Liu Haizhong valued his eldest son and disliked his second and third sons. Such a logical rumor would definitely be believed by a lot of people.

However, he was happy to see Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai fighting each other.

Seeing He Yuzhu grinning foolishly, Liu Lan said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you in a daze? I'm asking you a question!"

He Yuzhu smiled suddenly, "I don't know whether this is true or not, but it is true that Liu Haizhong loves his eldest son and often abuses the second and third sons."

Liu Lan pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "Then this rumor must be true. If all three sons are his biological children, why would he treat them differently?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Except for Liu Haizhong and his wife, who else can explain this clearly?"

Liu Lan grinned and said, "There's no smoke without fire. Since everyone is spreading the news..."

He Yuzhu interrupted, "Okay, stop interfering in other people's business, let's go to the storage room, I want it."

Liu Lan's face quickly turned red, and she said shyly, "Not now, you're just going on and on, let's talk about it after lunch!"

He Yuzhu patted the other's hips and said ambiguously: "But I really want it!"

Liu Lan's face turned red as blood, and she gave him a charming look, "Bear with it!"

Liu Lan turned and left. He Yuzhu looked at her plump and charming figure and said with a lewd smile, "This woman is becoming more and more attractive."

……

After lunch, Liu Haizhong always felt that someone was talking behind his back. When he turned around, everyone immediately stopped talking.

Liu Haizhong was no fool. He immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly called a few of his disciples over.

"Yun Fei, I always feel like someone is talking about me behind my back. Have you received any news?"

The eldest disciple Cao Yunfei hesitated and said, "Master, please don't be angry when I tell you this."

Liu Haizhong shouted angrily: "It's already this fucking hour, why don't you just tell me now!"

Cao Yunfei stammered, "Master, everyone is saying that your two sons are not your biological children, so you treat them differently. You treat the eldest son like a treasure, but beat and scold the second and third sons at will."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong's face instantly turned dark enough to look like ink dripping out.

At this time, Guo Piezi and several workers who were on good terms with him came over and looked at him with sympathy that made his scalp tingle.

Guo Piezi patted his arm comfortingly and said gently, "Lao Liu, a man not only has a family, but also a career. Although your family is unfortunate, your career is on the rise. Don't give up on yourself!"

"Director Guo is right. The most important thing for a man in his life is his career. When you are successful in your career, the worst that can happen is that you can just change your wife!"

"Lao Liu, I admire you a lot. Even though it wasn't your child, you were able to raise him and send him to school. If it were me, I would have kicked them out long ago."

Liu Haizhong could no longer suppress the rage in his heart, and he roared hysterically, "Is it that bastard who is spreading rumors about me?"

Guo Piezi looked suspicious and asked, "Old Liu, you mean that all three of your sons are your own, and someone is deliberately trying to ruin your reputation?"

Liu Haizhong's face was gloomy, and he nodded heavily, "Of course all three sons are my biological children. Someone just can't stand my good fortune and deliberately spread rumors about me."

Guo Piezi asked curiously, "Old Liu, since all three sons are your own, why do you treat them differently?"

Liu Haizhong was suddenly speechless. He couldn't possibly say that his family used to be landlords and that valuing the eldest son was a family tradition, right?

After a while, Liu Haizhong made up a story: "Raise the eldest son in wealth and the second son in poverty. This is the ancestral motto of our Liu family!"

"Pfft!"

Yi Zhonghai on the side sneered, "Raise the eldest son in wealth and the second son in poverty. Which family has such a weird ancestral motto? Are you kidding me?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong flew into a rage, grabbed Yi Zhonghai by the collar, and said harshly: "Yi Zhonghai, is it you, a bastard, who spread these rumors?"

Liu Haizhong did not doubt Yi Zhonghai, but was certain that Yi Zhonghai was the mastermind behind this incident.

Because in the entire steel rolling mill, only Yi Zhonghai had a grudge against him, and last night he ruined Yi Zhonghai's reputation and was beaten up by the people in the compound.

Apart from Yi Zhonghai, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would want to take revenge on him.

He knew that Yi Zhonghai would not give up and would definitely retaliate, but he did not expect the revenge to come so quickly and fiercely, which made him unable to resist.

Yi Zhonghai said coldly: "Liu Haizhong, let go, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Guo Piezi continued to persuade him, "Old Liu, don't be impulsive. After all, the matter has not been investigated clearly yet!"

Cao Yunfei echoed, "Master, Director Guo is right. If we act now, you will be the only one who will suffer!"

Listen to advice and you’ll gain half.

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong slowly let go of Yi Zhonghai and angrily scolded: "You dare to do it but not to take responsibility. You are really a worthless person. No wonder you can't have children!"

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened in an instant, and he said sternly: "Liu Haizhong, watch your mouth. You have no evidence, don't bite like a mad dog."

Liu Haizhong said coldly: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. You want evidence, right? I may not be able to find it, but that doesn't mean others can't. I'm going to report it to the security department now."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face showed a hint of panic, but it quickly disappeared. He believed that with his own methods, he would definitely not be able to trace the problem back to him.

Liu Haizhong came to the security department and explained the whole story to Wei Dayong.

After hearing this, Wei Dayong said with a relaxed look on his face: "Master Liu, this matter is not difficult to investigate. As long as we ask one by one, we can quickly find the source of the rumor."

Liu Haizhong said with gratitude: "Thank you, Chief Wei!"

Wei Dayong said kindly, "You're welcome. This is my job."

Liu Haizhong continued, "By the way, Chief Wei, I suspect that Yi Zhonghai did this."

Wei Dayong nodded slightly, "Now that we have a suspect, it will be easier to investigate!"
