"I saw it with my own eyes." Nan Yi's voice was calm and firm, and there was no trace of fluctuation in his eyes.

Jia Zhang was enraged, she rushed towards Nan Yi, trying to vent her anger with her fists. However, Nan Yi's reaction was faster than hers, he slapped Jia Zhang to the ground with his backhand.

"You...how dare you hit me!" Jia Zhang was lying on the ground, covering her cheeks, her voice full of disbelief and anger.

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang who was lying on the ground, and her despair deepened. She knew that this matter could not be reversed. She looked at Nan Yi, her eyes full of resentment and anger.

"Qin Huairu, you have failed to educate your children well. You should reflect on yourself." Nan Yi's voice echoed in the yard. Every word was like an ice-cold knife cutting Qin Huairu's heart.

Qin Huairu did not speak, she just stood there silently, letting the tears slide down her cheeks. She knew that she was wrong.

But she hated Nan Yi even more. She hated him for telling this matter and for making her lose face in front of everyone.

Nan Yi's face was livid, but his voice was firm: "I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false? The chicken bones, chicken feathers, and traces of fire were all near the cement pipes of the steel mill. Do you still want to deny it?"

The residents in the courtyard gathered around, talking one after another. Yan Bugui, as the manager, seemed at a loss at the moment. He rubbed his hands, frowned, and didn't know what to do.

"Stop arguing!" Yang Ming shouted as he squeezed out of the crowd. His face was serious and his eyes were sharp as torches as he scanned the crowd. "The most important thing now is to find out the truth and give everyone an explanation."

Yang Ming turned to Liu Guangtian and said, "Go and notify Director Xu of the Street Office and ask him to handle this matter." Then he turned to Yan Jiefang and said, "Go to the steel mill and ask the security department to come. We need them to assist in the investigation."

Soon, the security department arrived at the scene. They carefully inspected the scene and found chicken bones, chicken feathers and traces of fire near the cement pipe. These findings made Nan Yi's accusation more powerful.

Director Xu from the Street Office also rushed over. He looked at everything in front of him with a frown. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen in the courtyard, and it involved a child.

"How is this possible?" Director Xu muttered to himself, obviously finding it hard to believe that Bang Geng had stolen something. But the facts were before him, and he had to accept them.

The residents in the courtyard were talking about it. Some expressed sympathy for Jia Zhang, while others were angry and disappointed with Bang Geng's behavior. Jia Zhang was already crying and she hugged Bang Geng tightly, as if she wanted to use her strength to protect him from harm.

"I...I didn't steal..." Banggeng's voice was trembling and weak, but his eyes were extremely firm. He knew his behavior was wrong, but he also wanted to be forgiven by everyone.

Director Xu looked at all this with mixed feelings. He knew that this was not just a simple theft, but also a question of education and growth. He decided to take some measures to help Banggeng correct his mistakes and also give a warning to the residents in the courtyard.

"First, we need to educate Banggeng, make him understand his mistakes and learn to take responsibility." Director Xu's voice was firm and powerful. "Second, we need to strengthen the management of the courtyard to prevent similar things from happening again. Finally, I hope everyone can learn from this and work together to create a harmonious and stable living environment."

That evening, there was a sudden commotion in the canteen of the steel mill. It turned out that Banggeng sneaked in while the canteen chef was not paying attention and took the public property in the canteen into his arms. This caused a big commotion. When the canteen chefs found out, they immediately called the police.

Soon, the police from the police station arrived at the scene. They asked about the situation seriously and decided to take Banggeng away for investigation. When Banggeng heard that he was going to be taken to the police station, he turned pale with tears in his eyes. He hurriedly asked Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang for help, hoping that they could help him out of the predicament.

However, Jia Zhang was a protective person. When she saw the police were going to take Bang Geng away, she immediately flew into a rage and rushed forward to stop them. She shouted loudly, saying that the police were bullying people, and even tried to argue with the police with her fists. Seeing this, the police immediately warned her not to obstruct public service, otherwise they would arrest her.

But Jia Zhangshi didn't listen to any of this. She only wanted to protect Banggeng and didn't care about the consequences. She pushed the police hard and even scratched the arm of one of them. Seeing this, the police were no longer polite and took out their batons to subdue Jia Zhangshi to the ground...

Afterwards, the police took Banggeng and Jia Zhang to the police station. Qin Huairu, as Banggeng's guardian, was also called to the police station to make a statement. She was worried all the way, not knowing what kind of punishment Banggeng would face this time.

At the police station, the police severely criticized and educated Bang Geng. They told Bang Geng that stealing public property is a serious violation of the law, which will not only harm the interests of others, but also affect his own future. Under the education of the police, Bang Geng finally realized his mistake and shed tears of regret.

Jia Zhang was also severely reprimanded by the police. Although she felt sorry for Bang Geng, she also knew that she had gone too far this time. She apologized to the police and promised to discipline Bang Geng well in the future and not let him do such things again.

It was already late at night when Banggeng and Jia Zhang were brought back to the compound.

The residents in the compound had already learned about what happened and were discussing it. Some of them expressed anger and disappointment at Banggeng's behavior, while others were worried and dissatisfied with Jia Zhang's impulsiveness.

Director Xu, as the manager of the compound, was also shocked and dissatisfied with this incident.

He realized that his previous decision to dismiss Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, the two managers, might have been too hasty.

He began to reflect on whether there were problems with his management style and whether he needed to manage the residents in the compound more strictly.

However, the decision was not easy.

Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai were both former bigwigs, and they each had their own power and supporters. If one of them was promoted directly, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction and resistance from the other.

Director Xu fell into deep thought. He understood that only through democratic voting could a manager who truly met everyone's wishes be elected.

So, on a dark and windy night, Director Xu summoned all the residents in the courtyard and announced the upcoming democratic vote.

His words were powerful, full of determination and confidence.
