He Yuzhu opened his mouth, his face gloomy, but he couldn't say a word.

He felt extremely embarrassed under the pressure of being watched by so many people.

I was so focused on escaping that I even forgot that the tools I used to commit the crime were still on me. Now I've been caught red-handed and I don't even have a chance to argue.

He defended himself in a low voice: "I...I was just careless, I didn't do it on purpose."

Hearing this, Lu Qing couldn't help laughing: "Accidentally? You didn't sleep in the middle of the night, ran to my door, and 'accidentally' punctured my bicycle tire? Is this what you mean by 'accidentally'?"

Lu Qing deliberately emphasized the three words "accidentally", which was full of sarcasm.

The people around also started laughing.

"Silly Zhu, your reason is too outrageous, isn't it? Who would believe it?"

"You've been caught in the act, but you're still trying to make excuses. Why are you so dishonest now, Silly Zhu?"

"Deliberately puncturing someone's tire is a serious offense, you have to pay for it!"

"Yes, compensation should be paid!"

Listening to the discussions around him, He Yuzhu felt even more depressed.

In the past, when he made trouble, someone would speak up for him, but now even his neighbors no longer help him and instead start to blame him.

If the current situation is not resolved, his life will become even more difficult.

He Yuzhu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll pay you! I'll pay you!"

However, Lu Qing showed a contemptuous smile and said coldly: "Do you think that you can get away with it by paying money?"

"You...what do you want to do?" He Yuzhu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"I've asked my wife to call the police. Just wait for them to handle the matter." Lu Qing said calmly.

"You...you want to ask the police to arrest me?" He Yuzhu's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Isn't it right for you to do such a thing?" Lu Qing asked back without flinching.

He Yuzhu clenched his teeth but remained speechless.

At this time, the neighbors around showed surprised expressions. They didn't expect Lu Qing to call the police.

When He Yuzhu made trouble before, although Lu Qing forced him to pay compensation, it didn't make a big deal in the end.

But this time, Lu Qing actually wanted to call the police, which was a completely different matter.

Someone came out and advised: "Lu Qing, I think this is just a small matter, there is no need to alert the police, right?"

"Yeah, why bother taking this to the police? Can't you just let Sha Zhu pay you?"

"What Shazhu did this time was indeed wrong, but it may have been an impulse. From now on, we will keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't do it again."

Lu Qing glanced around and saw everyone's expressions. They were indeed speaking from the heart, but whether they were truly kind-hearted remained to be seen.

After all, this is exactly the same as Yi Zhonghai's previous situation, and more people just want to keep things quiet.

Lu Qing looked calm and said calmly: "I also want to let him go."

When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, but Lu Qing's next words made them frown.

"But have you ever thought that our Siheyuan is becoming more and more unscrupulous? Whether it's being a person or doing things, why are we becoming more and more out of line?"

Every word Lu Qing said pierced a string in everyone's heart.

He went on to say, "Take the uncle for example. He is the uncle of our compound. In our eyes, he has always been fair and honest. But look at what he has become now? Is he still the uncle we knew before?"

Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.

Indeed, as time went by, the uncle's behavior became more and more puzzling, and he went from being a fair and selfless elder to a disappointing character.

Now, He Yuzhu's behavior is equally unbearable.

"You want to make a big thing small and a small thing nothing, but what will be the result? Our yard will become more and more chaotic."

Yi Zhonghai was standing in a corner not far away. When he heard Lu Qing's words, his face became even gloomier.

Lu Qing was really talking about things that were not relevant. It was clear that he was blaming himself and He Yuzhu and exposing their shortcomings.

At this moment, Lu Qing continued to talk in front of everyone:

"I am doing this to completely change the atmosphere of our courtyard. The reputation of the entire courtyard cannot be affected by the behavior of a few people."

However, someone said dissatisfiedly: "But if you call the police, this matter will spread out, and people outside will know that there are bad people in our courtyard. Who will dare to marry in the future? Who will be willing to marry a girl from our courtyard?"

"Yes, yes, if someone gets caught, everyone in our courtyard will be implicated. You can't do this."

"Lu Qing, my son is going to get married soon. If you ruin this, I will never forgive you!"

"My daughter is getting married soon, don't let you affect her wedding, otherwise I won't let you go!"

Hearing these words, a smug smile appeared on He Yuzhu's face.

Lu Qing, Lu Qing, do you think you can send me to the police station just because you find me wrong? You are so naive! Other people in the courtyard will not allow you to do this.

Facing these words, Lu Qing's expression was calm and he nodded slightly: "I heard your concerns last time. But are you blaming the wrong person?"

"It was He Yuzhu who did the wrong thing, not me. Instead of blaming the person who violated the rules, you blame me for correcting his wrong behavior?"

Lu Qing's voice became calmer: "Aren't you afraid that your children will follow suit and steal like He Yuzhu, or do the same as those men? If they leave the courtyard and continue to do this, and get arrested and imprisoned, or even shot, can you bear it?"

These words stunned everyone, and the scene fell into silence for a moment.

They looked at each other, and Lu Qing's words seemed to have hit the nail on the head.

Too many scandals have happened in the courtyard recently. If the children are watching them, they might learn bad things.

If they did not have the same "good luck" as He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai, the consequences would be disastrous.

Lu Qing looked at the silent crowd and continued, "I had no choice but to do this. I have children at home, and I don't want them to grow up in such a filthy environment. When they grow up, they will either be beaten to death or be "optimized" by the state."

"You are all parents, you should understand how I feel. Rather than letting the problem drag on, why not solve it now? A short pain is worse than a long one!"

This time, no one objected.

We all have children, so naturally we don’t want our children to learn bad things, especially in today’s crackdown period, we must not do anything wrong.

Lu Qing's words made them begin to reflect on their own position.

Just then, Chen Wenhui came with two familiar policemen.

The two policemen who handled the Yi Zhonghai incident a few days ago were clearly getting impatient. They asked as they walked, "What's going on here?"
