Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

The first thing he thought of was the street office, which would be the most affected. After this matter became a big deal, it would definitely not be able to be concealed and would be reported to the higher-ups. When the higher-ups heard about this, they would definitely be very angry and would definitely not spare the leaders and relevant managers of the street office. So, the first one to be affected would be the street office.

At that time, the leaders and managers of the street office will at best be punished and have no hope of a career in politics. In serious cases, they may even be directly dismissed and transferred to work in remote areas, which would be even more tragic.

Therefore, the ones who least want to make a big deal out of this are definitely the leaders of the street office. As long as they can be convinced and the interests involved are made clear to them, they will surely find ways to suppress the matter and try not to let it become too big and cause serious impact on them.

Next is the police station in this area. It will certainly not be good for them if the matter becomes a big deal, and the director here will definitely be the one to suffer as well. The street office will be to blame, and the police station will also be to blame. The director and deputy director will inevitably be charged with failing to supervise public security in their jurisdiction, and they will not be able to escape punishment.

Then he thought of the steel mill. After this incident became a big deal, the steel mill's reputation would probably be damaged. Lin Geng was the orphan of a martyr. After his mother passed away, the steel mill did not take good care of him, so he was bullied by the workers who lived in the same courtyard with him in the factory and almost forced to death. It was not excessive for the leaders of the steel mill to be charged with neglecting to take care of the orphans of martyrs.

If this matter gets out of hand, even Director Yang of the steel mill might have to bear the brunt of the consequences. Even if he doesn't, the reputation of the steel mill will certainly be seriously affected.

So I guess after Director Yang heard about this and understood the impact behind it, he wouldn't want the matter to get out of hand.

So Yi Zhonghai actually found a way out of such a dead end.

He was originally a senior fitter in the steel rolling mill, and also an eighth-level worker, one of the very few eighth-level fitters in the factory. Many precision parts produced in the factory cannot be produced without the eighth-level workers like them. Eighth-level workers like him play a very important role in the steel rolling mill, and their status is also quite transcendent. Even the factory director has to respect them and give them some face.

Liu Haizhong is also a senior blacksmith. Although he has not been promoted to level eight, he is also an indispensable technical talent in the steel rolling mill.

If they all failed, the steel mill would not only be embarrassed, but also lose two senior technicians, which would be a huge loss to the steel mill.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai thought of the deaf old lady. He heard from her that she had some friendship with Director Yang, but few people knew about it. If she had any problems, Director Yang would definitely help her.

So Yi Zhonghai took the opportunity when Auntie came to visit him to quickly tell Auntie his idea, and asked Auntie to ask to visit the deaf old lady again, and asked the deaf old lady to ask Auntie to pass a message to Director Yang, asking Director Yang to come forward to protect Yi Zhonghai. Of course, if they want to protect Yi Zhonghai, they have to protect Liu Haizhong as well, otherwise, the matter will be too obvious.

Because Yi Zhonghai knew that his case was more serious than Liu Haizhong's. Not only did he help the Jia family seize the Lin family's house, he also privately withheld the compensation money that the steel mill gave to Lin Geng. This was 200 yuan! If he was serious, these 200 yuan would be enough to make Yi Zhonghai drink a pot.

So if he wants to protect him, then Director Yang must also protect Liu Haizhong, so that things can be done less conspicuously. Otherwise, anyone will see that Director Yang is doing this with serious selfish motives and will be criticized.

In addition to allowing the aunt to visit the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai also told the aunt that before she left, she should immediately go to Deputy Director Zhou of the Street Office and explain the interests involved to him. She should ask Deputy Director Zhou to persuade Director Wang, and they should go together to find Lin Geng and ask Lin Geng to let them go for their sake.

If the subdistrict office wants to protect them, it must communicate with the police station and ask them to suppress the matter. Deputy Director Li will definitely not give them face today, but they can ask Director Wang to find the head of the police station and explain the interests to him.

I think the chief of the police station will not refuse. After all, if this matter becomes a big deal, it will have a great impact on him as the head of the police station.

So after meeting Yi Zhonghai, the aunt met the deaf old lady. Over the years, the deaf old lady had been taken care of by Yi Zhonghai and his wife, and basically treated Yi Zhonghai as her godson.

In addition, Yi Zhonghai is very important for her future retirement. Once Yi Zhonghai dies, Sha Zhu, a careless guy, will definitely not be able to take care of her as attentively as an old lady.

So although the deaf old lady was also humiliated by Lin Geng this time, she also knew that at her age, as long as she refused to admit that she deliberately made up the lies that she was a martyr's relative and had sent straw sandals to the Red Army, the police would generally not punish her severely.

After all, her case is beyond the reach of a target shooting. Although she can be sentenced to a few years in prison, she is now at an age where she has completely lost her ability to work. If she is sentenced to a few years in prison, she will have to be supported and cared for, which will really add to the burden on the country.

So under normal circumstances, the public security department will not punish her severely in order to reduce trouble.

So she was very sure that the police would detain her for a few days, then hand her over to the street office for handling, give her a lecture, strengthen supervision over her, or release her back to the courtyard.

If Yi Zhonghai is sentenced to a heavy sentence at that time, the deaf old lady cannot guarantee that the aunt will stay in the courtyard and continue to take care of her meticulously.

So the deaf old lady is a very shrewd person. She must find a way to use her available connections to protect Yi Zhonghai, otherwise, she will probably suffer for the rest of her life.

So the deaf old lady asked an aunt to go to Director Yang on her behalf without hesitation, saying that this was the last time she would bother Director Yang, and asked Director Yang to find a way to ensure that Yi Zhonghai would not be sentenced and not let Yi Zhonghai lose his job.

After meeting Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, the old lady left the police station and immediately went to find Deputy Director Zhou of the Street Office, who had some friendship with Yi Zhonghai, and relayed Yi Zhonghai's words to him.

Then the old lady ran to find Director Yang and told him everything that Yi Zhonghai had done without reservation, and also relayed the deaf old lady's words to Director Yang.

So no matter how angry these people were, for their own sake or for a certain promise, they still put in a lot of effort to persuade Lin Geng to show mercy to Yi Zhonghai and the others and spare them this time.

However, these people were not stupid, and they did not dare to force Lin Geng to submit. Instead, they discussed with Lin Geng in a sincere manner, and even offered some benefits and threatened Lin Geng in a very subtle way, so that Lin Geng could see the reality. It would be best not to make a big fuss about this matter, which would be good for everyone.

Of course, they were not stupid enough to force Lin Geng to give up everything and let Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and others get away with it. After all, the dirty things they did this time were too hateful. Even if they wanted to protect Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, they despised them and did not want them to get away with it so easily. They also hoped that Lin Geng would make them pay some price this time, or even hope that Lin Geng would make them pay a bigger price so that they would feel the pain and would not dare to act recklessly in the future.

Otherwise, Yi Zhonghai and his people might get away with it easily this time, and then think it’s nothing and even have bad intentions in the future.
