Chapter 770: Chapter 771: 60s Siheyuan 19_1

Yan Fugui had not thought of this aspect before, but now it seemed that the situation was becoming increasingly interesting.

And certainly no one would support Yi Zhonghai, the fine was to be paid to the street office, from which everyone would benefit.

Yi Zhonghai was cursing inside. Compared to the financial loss, what he was thinking about now was that it was only in the evening that, under Director Wang’s coordination, he had written that guarantee letter, but now an incident had occurred.

He really didn’t dare to consider how the street office would react after learning about this, "Zhang Yu, this matter, this can be discussed."

By this time, there were already onlookers at the door. When Yan Jiecheng had gone out, he hadn’t closed the courtyard gate.

Such commotion attracted the neighbors; of course, they had not gone to sleep and gathered around to see what was happening.

When Yan Jiecheng went to file the police report, he briefly explained the situation. The duty officer, learning that someone had broken into the house and had even threatened to kill someone, knew this was no minor matter.

Although the culprit had been apprehended, the nature of the crime was severe; if not for the homeowner being capable, it could have very well ended in a fatality.

If such had happened, it wouldn’t have been good for them either; the police officers acted swiftly while another went to inform their superior officer.

One officer followed Yan Jiecheng to Hongxing Courtyard House, the two ran all the way. The latter had run to the police station, and now he was running back, naturally, he was tired.

But thinking of the reward Zhang Yu had promised, his legs no longer felt sore, instead, he felt a surge of energy.

"Make way, make way," the officer said upon seeing the crowd gathered at the entrance of the courtyard, deducing this must be Hongxing Courtyard House.

The onlookers had initially wanted to protest, enjoying the spectacle and not inclined to move aside, but when they looked back, "The police are here, let’s make way."

Upon hearing that the police had arrived, of course, they promptly made way.

As for Yan Jiecheng, who arrived shortly afterward, of course, he did not receive such a courteous passage, but what did it matter if he was a resident of the courtyard house?

Besides continuing to hop from foot to foot, Yan Jiecheng was truly in a rush, absolutely frantic. Although he also wanted to know the current situation within the courtyard house, what he really wanted was to get his money quickly.

Lady Jia Zhang, seeing the police had arrived, hastened toward them, "Officer, you’ve arrived just in time."

Pointing at Zhang Yu, "She, she beat up my son."

"Arrest her," Lady Jia Zhang played the part of the aggressor defaulting to the claim of victim.

Zhang Yu was not in a hurry, just watching Lady Jia Zhang endlessly directing the officers to make an arrest; she was quite amused inside.

She had really become too accustomed to running amok in Hongxing Courtyard House, thinking everyone would tolerate her antics.

What she did not know was that Yan Jiecheng also disliked Jia Dongxu and had already explained the whole affair to the police.

The officer, looking at this weeping and wailing Lady Jia Zhang, felt an ineffable disgust, "I will look into this matter."

"Who called for the police earlier?" the officer asked, looking at the young girl standing at the Moon Gate with a wooden stick in hand.

Even knowing that one of the parties involved was a young girl, he was startled to see a girl who looked so young.

"I did," Zhang Yu set down the wooden stick, "I asked a neighbor to call the police."

"If we hadn’t called the police, some people would use the so-called internal affairs of the courtyard house to tell me not to make a fuss."

As she spoke, Zhang Yu let the officer into the house, but of course, Lady Jia Zhang also tried to rush in, after all, Jia Dongxu was still inside.

Yi Zhonghai did not want to follow, but after thinking it over, he too wanted to go inside.

"You are not allowed to enter my Moon Gate," Zhang Yu rebuked, "This is the crime scene; all of it is evidence."

"Are you trying to destroy it by entering?"

"Is it an attempt to cover up the evidence of Jia Dongxu’s break-in robbery and attempted murder?"

Zhang Yu wouldn’t let them in, now a public security officer had arrived, and he still needed to protect the scene.

Lady Jia Zhang didn’t care about any of that, she just wanted to see her son, but when Yi Zhonghai saw that the public security officer didn’t oppose Zhang Yu’s statement, he knew it must be the case.

He grabbed her, "Don’t make a fuss, otherwise Dongxu’s problems will only get more serious."

Lady Jia Zhang didn’t want to listen to Yi Zhonghai, but his following words forced her to shut up, "Go ahead, keep making a scene."

"If the evidence is gone, Jia Dongxu’s problems will be even greater."

Despite her reluctance, Lady Jia Zhang had no choice, the public security was there, and she couldn’t disturb the peace.

The old lady had seen the old lady from the neighboring courtyard house make a fuss in front of the public security, it didn’t end well for her.

Yi Zhonghai was really worried Lady Jia Zhang would continue making a fuss, but to his relief, she actually calmed down.

"That’s how things are." Zhang Yu pointed at the fragments on the floor inside the room, "All smashed by Jia Dongxu."

"Reckless. This is no trivial matter." The public security officer looked at the front door kicked into pieces and the fragments all over the floor.

Oh, and let’s not even mention the gate from earlier, that was even more destroyed.

"It’s really..." the officer looked at Jia Dongxu, "Regardless of how things started, you can’t just break into someone’s home."

It wasn’t long before the police station chief and several officers, and even Director Wang from the neighborhood committee were called over.

Director Wang had already gone to bed, only to be woken up by the police, wondering why they were bothering her in the middle of the night.

She hadn’t expected another incident at Hongxing Courtyard House, and it was Jia Dongxu who had broken into the Zhang family, clamoring to kill the two sisters, her expression immediately turned ugly.

The issue had supposedly been resolved that afternoon and an assurance was signed, but it had led to another incident that night.

It was outright threats of violence, and Yi Zhonghai seemed to be just a bystander, which really irritated Director Wang.

She really didn’t understand how the steward had been chosen, why he was so biased.

Now she finally understood why Zhang Yu insisted on having a separate entrance earlier, not wanting to share a door with the courtyard house.

Back then, she thought the young girl was too suspicious of others, but now she realized it wasn’t that she thought too badly of people, it was knowing who those people were.

She made up her mind that if Zhang Yu proposed to have a separate entrance again, she would have no objections.

Otherwise, if someone barges in in the middle of the night and something happens to the sisters, she would have been negligent in her responsibilities.

Yi Zhonghai didn’t recognize the station chief, but he knew Director Wang, and when he saw her, he said, "Director Wang."

He wanted to explain a thing or two, but didn’t know how to.

"Old Yi, you are a veteran worker from the steel mill, I don’t know how you were chosen for steward, but now it seems that you are really not up to the mark."

Director Wang had planned to discuss the issues of Hongxing Courtyard House at work the next day, but now it seemed to be a major problem.

"You should step down as steward," Director Wang said bluntly.

Even though he had prepared himself for this, when the moment to step down arrived, he really didn’t want to leave.

"Director Wang, I know I didn’t handle this well, can you give me another chance?" Yi Zhonghai pleaded incessantly.

If he stepped down like this, his reputation in the courtyard would plummet, and Liu Haizhong would surely spread negative things about him all over the steel mill.
