Chapter 88: Beating up the animals; the Security Department arrives!

"Everyone saw it, Old Liu’s house caught fire, and this kid Chen Tian just watched from the side!"

"We’re all neighbors, his heart is too vicious!"

"Fortunately, no one in Old Liu’s family was injured. If there had been a loss of life, Chen Tian would be the murderer!"

Yi Yi Zhonghai wished he could kill Chen Tian.

He directly pinned such a big label on him.

"I said long ago that this little bastard Chen Tian is not a good thing!"

Deaf Old Lady pointed at Chen Tian, her expression indignant.

The crowd looked, but no one expressed an opinion.

They had also learned something about what kind of person Chen Tian was during this time.

Although they didn't have much contact, they knew that Chen Tian had never bullied anyone, nor had he shown off in the courtyard or used his engineer status to suppress people.

It was Deaf Old Lady and Liu Liu Haizhong and those people who relied on being Five Guarantees recipients, so others didn't dare to contradict them, or they held some sesame-sized official position and put on airs and threw their weight around.

Weren't all these recent events in the courtyard caused by these people?

"It’s a favor for people to help you put out the fire; it’s their duty not to help. There’s no need to force them to help your family put out the fire."

"Exactly, when something happens, they don't reflect on themselves, they only know how to find problems with others."

"This Deaf Old Lady is truly senile; why does she keep staring at Chen Tian?"

"What about Sha Zhu? Didn't Deaf Old Lady and Jia Jia Zhangshi fight over Sha Zhu? Hurry up and let him take this old thing home."

"Don't look for him, Sha Zhu is lying over there."

"Yi Yi Zhonghai? He He Yuzhu?"

"What’s the situation with you?"

Seeing Sha Zhu, Yi Yi Zhonghai, and Liu Liu Haizhong lying on the ground wailing, the members of the Security Department looked confused. Section Chief Zhou frowned and asked.

"Nothing major, these people were causing trouble with me, so I dealt with them."

Chen Tian said indifferently.

With nearly 20,000 people in the Rolling Mill, it was impossible for everyone in the Security Department to know everyone.

But Chen Tian’s reputation and status in the factory now were higher than Factory Manager Yang’s; no one didn't know him.

"Engineer Chen, you’re here too."

"What, these few blind people are looking for trouble with you? Do you need me to take them back to the factory and lock them in solitary confinement for a few days?"

Section Chief Zhou immediately stepped forward, his face full of smiles.

Section Chief Zhou’s direct superior was Li Changhai, and even Li Changhai had to be polite and respectful when he saw Chen Tian; these small characters were even more trembling.

"No need, Section Chief Zhou, you must have business here, you go ahead and get busy."

Chen Tian waved his hand; with these few wastes like Sha Zhu, there was no need to take it to the factory; he felt it was embarrassing.

"Alright, Engineer Chen, then you go ahead and smoke."

Section Chief Zhou took a pack of Da Da Qianmen from his pocket and handed it to Chen Tian with both hands.

Chen Tian nodded, took it, lit one, and began to puff away leisurely.

Seeing that the people from the Security Department were so respectful to Chen Tian, the crowd’s respect for Chen Tian increased even more.

Deaf Old Lady snorted coldly; these people had no sense of hierarchy, she was still here, and they greeted Chen Tian first?

Was there any quality of respecting the old and loving the young?

What kind of people were managing the Rolling Mill now!

Deaf Old Lady’s protest was ignored by everyone.

Who would care about an old woman whose reputation was stinking in the streets?

"Are you guys from the Rolling Mill Security Department?"

"Are you Section Chief Zhou?"

Seeing no one paying attention to her, Deaf Old Lady decided to take the initiative.

"You have business?"

"We are on field duty, don't come and make trouble."

Section Chief Zhou looked displeased.

He had a mission this time, and seeing Chen Tian was a must-report; where did this old onion pop out from?

"Hey, how are you talking to me, an old woman!"

"Believe it or not, I'll go to the factory and report you!"

"Since you are from the Security Department, are you going to manage this little bastard Chen Tian hitting people!"

"Look, look at what my grandson has been beaten into!"

Deaf Old Lady raised her cane and pounded the ground hard, venting her dissatisfaction.

Section Chief Zhou’s face gradually changed color, his eyes filled with coldness.

This old woman, wasn't she looking for trouble for him!

Didn't she see how polite he was to Chen Tian just now?

And she still dared to jump out and look for trouble with Chen Tian.

"Engineer Chen would definitely not hit people for no reason."

"Your grandson? There are three lying on the ground, who knows which one is your grandson?"

"Old woman, let me tell you, we are currently performing official duties. If you dare to make trouble again, I'll take you back and lock you in solitary confinement!"

Did she really think he was easy to talk to?

What is the Security Department for?

Specifically to deal with troublemakers.

Deaf Old Lady was shaking with anger and wanted to say something else, but seeing Section Chief Zhou’s angry face, she immediately shrank back like a deflated ball.

The Second Aunt, who was just shouting about calling the police, saw this scene and was also too scared to speak.

Even Deaf Old Lady had been pushed back, so she had even less of a chance.

The members of the Security Department swarmed up and pressed Liu Liu Haizhong to the ground.

"You caught the wrong person!"

"This is definitely slander!"

Liu Liu Haizhong’s face was pressed hard against the cold ground, and he shouted with effort.

As the dignified Second Uncle of the Sihe Academy, being caught like a slaughtered pig was a huge humiliation.

Even with the facts right in front of him, he was unwilling to admit it.

If it was confirmed that he stole public property, he could forget about his job; he would definitely be fired by the factory.

Sitting in prison for a dozen years, he didn't know if he could come out alive.

Liu Liu Haizhong felt like dying.

"Oh my, Old Man!"

"What are you doing! Let him go!"

Seeing her husband about to be taken away, the Second Aunt grabbed Section Chief Zhou’s hand and wouldn't let go.

"Obstinate people!"

"If you dare to obstruct again, I'll take you away too!"

The Second Aunt was thrown aside and fell on her butt.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Liu Guangfu were already trembling with fear, standing to the side like two wooden geese.

"Section Chief Zhou, Section Chief Zhou, listen to me!"

"This is definitely a misunderstanding, how could I steal steel from the factory!"

"I am a 7th-grade worker in the factory, the Second Uncle in the courtyard, I wouldn't do such a thing!"

Liu Liu Haizhong was still struggling desperately.

"Shut up!"

"The evidence is solid, and you still dare to deny it!"

"I don't care if you’re a 7th-grade worker or some bullshit Second Uncle, just wait to be processed!"

"Not only will the factory punish you, but we will also transfer you to the police station!"

Section Chief Zhou snorted coldly and signaled for them to take Liu Liu Haizhong away.

"Engineer Chen, sorry for the embarrassment."

"We’re done here, we have to go back to the factory to report to the leaders; I reckon we’ll have to interrogate him overnight."

Before leaving, Section Chief Zhou didn't forget to greet Chen Tian.

"No problem, you guys get busy."

Chen Tian hadn't expected Liu Liu Haizhong to be so jealous of him that he would go crazy and steal things from the factory.

"Wait!"

"I want to report!" Liu Liu Haizhong shouted anxiously; he couldn't just sit and wait for death!

"You thief who steals things, who else do you want to report?"

Section Chief Zhou signaled to stop and see what Liu Liu Haizhong could say.

"Section Chief Zhou, if I tell you, does it count as a meritorious service?"

"Can I strive for a reduced sentence?"

Good guy, Liu Liu Haizhong knew quite a bit.

"Cut the crap! If you don't want to suffer, tell me everything you know!"

Liu Liu Haizhong nodded and bowed, looking just like a pug.

Chen Tian stood to the side, casting a look of contempt at Liu Liu Haizhong.

Ambitious but incompetent, yet he was arrogant and wanted to be a leader.

Narrow-minded, mean-spirited, and ultimately ended up in disgrace.

Sweeping his gaze over Chen Tian, a trace of viciousness flashed in the depths of Liu Liu Haizhong’s eyes.

You little bastard, I can't let you get away with it!

Chen Tian can afford a heater, and I, Liu Liu Haizhong, can too!

Now that I’m going to prison, I’ll drag someone down with me even if I die!

"I report Chen Tian!"

"He also has a heater at home, so many radiators and a small boiler, they must all be stolen factory materials!"

"If you don't believe me, go search his house! There are many, many things that are either stolen or obtained through speculation!"

"Section Chief Zhou, I’m wronged!"

Liu Liu Haizhong cried and wailed; if he was sent to prison, the rest of his life would be over.

He was only a few years away from retirement, and at the very end, such a thing happened, ruining his reputation and causing him to lose all face.

Everyone was stunned.

This old guy stole things from the factory, and that was that, but he dared to bite back and slander Chen Tian?

He truly had no shame.

It turned out that Liu Liu Haizhong was just like Yi Yi Zhonghai, both hypocrites, two-faced people who acted one way on the surface and another behind people’s backs.

"This Liu Liu Haizhong is too shameless, right? Even at a time like this, he’s thinking of framing Chen Tian?"

"He stole public property, he’s finished now."

"Dragging others down even when he’s dying, isn't that disgusting?"

"This Liu Liu Haizhong is even worse than Yi Yi Zhonghai, a thing that harms others without benefiting himself, bah!"

"I regret calling him Second Uncle for so many years, he’s truly a degenerate!"

"Our courtyard is famous now, first the little thief Bang Geng, then the great thief old man, we can forget about the advanced award this year."

"Have you forgotten Deaf Old Lady? That thing isn't a good thing either."

"Right, right, and Jia Jia Zhangshi! None of these old vegetables in our courtyard are worry-free!"

Seeing Liu Liu Haizhong biting back at Chen Tian even when he was about to die, everyone showed looks of disdain.

The Second Aunt and Liu Guangtian were too ashamed to lift their heads.

They let the people in the courtyard point fingers at them.

They weren't Jia Jia Zhangshi; they couldn't lie with their eyes open, and they didn't dare to throw a tantrum in front of the Security Department.

"Truly shameless!"

"Stealing things himself and still wanting to slander Chen Tian!"

"Living to such an old age and living like a dog!"

Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e were indignant; they hadn't expected Liu Liu Haizhong to be so shameless.

Chen Tian sneered, "Liu Liu Haizhong, a real man should be responsible for his actions."

"You had the guts to steal factory materials, but don't have the guts to admit it; do you even count as a man?"

"Jealous of me, jealous that I installed a heater at home, you fool, you wanted to get one yourself, but unfortunately, your skills aren't up to par."

"With that shoddy piece of junk you made, it’s your luck that it didn't blow you up!"

"Waste, still daring to spread rumors here, just wait to sit in prison until the bottom rots!"

Chen Tian wanted to go up and give this old bag of bones a few more punches and just send him back to his hometown.

These animals, each one is more hateful than the last!

Yi Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu had already climbed up and were trembling as they hid to the side to watch the show.

Meeting Chen Tian’s sharp gaze, the two immediately fell silent and lowered their heads.

Yan Yan Bugui pushed up his glasses, his expression surprised.
