Chapter 806: Chapter 807: 1960s Quadrangle Courtyard 55

Yi Zhonghai and several others were waiting outside the operating room for the doctor to come out.

The old guy was truly restless now. He had plans for Sha Zhu’s marriage, insisting on finding an obedient daughter-in-law, just like Qin Huairu.

Otherwise, he really worried that if Sha Zhu’s wife prevented him from being close to the men, would she still take care of them when they were old?

Plus, Sha Zhu hoped to marry someone as beautiful as Qin Huairu, which is why the matter had been dragging on.

But now, Sha Zhu had ended up crippled; how could this have happened.

If He Daqing were to find out about this, he would definitely be angry. Once he got back to Capital City and learned a bit about the situation, Yi Zhonghai would surely face consequences.

Yi Zhonghai was in complete turmoil, "How could this have happened."

"How could this have happened." Lady Jia Zhang is indeed domineering, but it’s not as if Sha Zhu couldn’t stand up to her.

Yi Zhonghai really couldn’t understand why the tall and strong Sha Zhu couldn’t handle Lady Jia Zhang; his future status in the siheyuan was a cause for concern.

As he was lost in confusion, he saw several policemen walking towards the operating room, and he immediately felt uneasy.

It can’t be, it just can’t be, Yi Zhonghai kept praying, hoping they weren’t looking for them.

Just as he feared, "Hello, are you neighbors of He Yuzhu?"

No way, they really were looking for them. Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath, "Yes, who are you?"

"Someone filed a report claiming He Yuzhu caused injury..." The policeman was ready to explain the details.

Someone filed a report, someone actually went to the police, Yi Zhonghai had no idea about the sloppy moves his incompetent allies had made after they entered the alley.

The only thought in his head was that besides Zhang Yu, no one else would have done it.

"It’s always Zhang Yu, I knew it was only this person..." Yi Zhonghai was so resentful his teeth itched, and he was determined to have a meeting once back, but then his spirits deflated.

He was no longer the First Elder and had lost his authority; if he dared to call for a full courtyard meeting, that girl Zhang Yu would definitely not let him off easily; heaven knows how she would mock him fiercely.

The policemen didn’t understand why Zhang Yu was brought into this, but he just found the name somewhat familiar.

"Why is it that Zhang Yu filed the report? It was Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui, and others who reported."

The few neighbors from the siheyuan who hadn’t left all thought it was Zhang Yu who complained, but to their surprise, it turned out to be the Second Elder and others; they were all stunned.

They knew very well that the three elders always advocated for internal resolution for any issue, but this time, they were quick to report the case.

How could this be? Why would Old Liu and the others report it? Of course, Yi Zhonghai didn’t believe it; they were neighbors for so many years, how could he not know their characters?

People began asking what exactly had happened. The policeman mentioned that Lady Jia Zhang later attempted to injure another neighbor’s lower body, after all, it was no secret; once they went back, they would be able to find out anyway.

When everyone was sending Sha Zhu to the hospital, they saw Lady Jia Zhang hastily fleeing back to her room, and they thought she would be subdued for a while.

But unexpectedly, not only did she not recognize her fault, but she also dared to do it again.

"Lady Jia Zhang is too audacious." No more words were said, but everyone looked towards Yi Zhonghai.

If it wasn’t for this old guy indulging her, how could Lady Jia Zhang be so outrageous.

As policemen, they knew how to handle this. Noticing everyone mentioned Lady Jia Zhang and turned to look at Yi Zhonghai, they started to wonder, "Is He Yuzhu still inside?"

"Yes, it has already been two hours since he went in."

This was a first for the policemen, and they had no idea how long the surgery would take. Facing such a serious situation, they definitely weren’t feeling great and needed to adjust their emotions a little.

"Let’s start with the investigation, at the time of the incident." One by one, they began investigating them.

Yi Zhonghai got anxious, wanting them to consider the circumstances before speaking, but he couldn’t make any sound now, he could only cough a few times to let them catch a hint.

"Go directly to the operating room." When someone called the police earlier, knowing that they were coming here, they had mentioned Yi Zhonghai, the former First Elder, as an expert at covering things up, and also biased towards the Jia Family and Sha Zhu.

Ah, Yi Zhonghai didn’t expect such treatment and was, of course, all kinds of unhappy.

"Yi Zhonghai, many people reported that you are a biased person when they filed their complaints."

"Don’t talk now, don’t hinder our investigation."

"You don’t think we came here just for this, do you?" The police said with a meaningful tone.

Damn, Yi Zhonghai’s expression instantly fell, right, if they could come here, they must have also gone to the courtyard house.

Knowing that some things are beyond remedy, he could only face them squarely, he now began to think, who should he seek out for a solution to this matter.

Normally, Deaf Old Lady would be the most appropriate person, as she probably had some connections above, but now he truly had no way to seek her out.

This time Sha Zhu had suffered a great injustice; how would the old lady be willing to help, she might even be hoping for Lady Jia Zhang to meet her demise sooner.

With Deaf Old Lady’s path blocked, should he seek out Director Yang? Yi Zhonghai gave up on that thought as well; in such a situation, any man would know it couldn’t just end like this.

Just now, everyone was thinking about whether to conceal some details when questioned.

Now look at them, they have lost such thoughts entirely. Why should they risk lying in testimony for Yi Zhonghai, who has been just an ordinary presence to them without any support?

One by one, they recounted the events that had happened before this evening.

The last one to be questioned, naturally, was Yi Zhonghai; he knew the tide was against him, "It’s not that I wanted to shield anyone, but today I was discussing matters with Deaf Old Lady in the back courtyard."

"I didn’t go out."

"I thought it was just squabbling and never expected..." Yi Zhonghai sighed with resignation.

Indeed, it’s a fortune that’s impossible to buy, knowing what would happen today; if he had heard any noise, he would have come out immediately.

The police quickly wrapped up the investigation, and Yi Zhonghai, aware of the current situation, really felt unsuitable to ask, yet not asking made him all kinds of restless.

"Um, that... How long might Lady Jia Zhang be sentenced to?" Everyone perked up their ears to listen.

"Don’t know, but at least ten years to start with." After all, it was a serious assault.

Ten years? Everyone gasped, knowing Lady Jia Zhang was in for a bad time, but they didn’t expect such a lengthy sentence.

"If she really gets locked up for ten years, will the courtyard house become quite a bit quieter?"

Living in a courtyard house, there’s always chaos and discord, but nobody raises hell like Lady Jia Zhang, aside from the Yi Family and Sha Zhu’s family, who would bother with her.

"If, if Sha Zhu were to provide a letter of forgiveness, could she avoid being sentenced?" Yi Zhonghai hasn’t given up on Jia Dongxu completely, of course, he wanted to strive for his good disciple’s sake.

Once he said this, not only the police were shocked, but even the neighbors from the courtyard house were stunned.

"No way."

"Sha Zhu has become a eunuch, how could he forgive her?"

"If Sha Zhu could forgive even this, no one would believe there’s nothing fishy going on with him and Qin Huairu."
