Chapter 46: Blocking the Road and Killing Yi Zhonghai

The matter naturally would not end just like that.

Xu Damao, who had been severely beaten by the crowd, was sent to the Rolling Mill Security Department by Yi Zhonghai, who took advantage of the situation to make things worse; once the factory leaders heard of such a matter, they immediately became serious.

Someone even suggested reporting it to the police.

If it weren't for the fact that the entire Rolling Mill had only this one Film Projectionist, it is truly uncertain whether Xu Damao would have been sent to jail.

However, what mattered was that Qin Huairu and the others perhaps felt a bit ashamed in their hearts, so they only demanded compensation, and the matter was considered finished.

And once the leaders heard that the victim had spoken up, they naturally did not deal with Xu Damao too severely.

They demanded on the spot that he pay Qin Huairu ten yuan for mental distress.

Xu Damao was crying his heart out.

If he had actually succeeded, he would have accepted the punishment, but he hadn't even touched her, yet he was punished like this.

No one could get over that in their heart.

"Why don't any of you believe me? I am truly being framed!"

Xu Damao's face was covered in bruises as he explained to the factory leaders.

"Xu Damao, the human and material evidence for this matter is conclusive; otherwise, could Qin Huairu have torn her own clothes?"

"Only those who admit their mistakes and correct them are good comrades, and since she isn't pursuing you that deeply, why won't you admit it?"

Factory Director Yang was also a bit disappointed.

He hadn't expected this Xu Damao to be like a dog-skin plaster, pestering and refusing to confess to the matter.

But this time, it was useless whether he admitted it or not; the matter was very clear, and almost everyone in the entire Siheyuan could come out to testify.

"My life is so bitter!"

Xu Damao let out a long howl toward the sky.

He had clearly done nothing, yet not only was his reputation ruined and he was beaten for nothing, but most importantly, this matter had reached the ears of the Lou Family.

And Father Lou also indicated that Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe should no longer associate with each other from now on.

They should act as if they had never known this person.

"This unlucky kid, even I can't bear to watch anymore," Zhao Gangzi also felt disgusted in his heart; he had to admit that Xu Damao was too miserable this time.

Although this brat wasn't a good thing, he hadn't done anything majorly evil after all, and this time he was framed into such a ghostly state, and it could be considered that he took the bullet for him.

Poor Xu Damao, he didn't even know who was plotting against him in the dark.

Outside the Siheyuan.

In a remote alley, Xu Damao walked in gingerly while clutching his face, and Zhao Gangzi had been waiting there for a long time.

"Zhao Gangzi, why did you call me over? I was just preparing to take revenge and deal with Qin Huairu; that stinky woman actually dared to extort me," Xu Damao bared his teeth, feeling a wave of pain just thinking about it.

Zhao Gangzi handed over a pack of cigarettes, lit one himself, and said silently: "That woman Qin Huairu doesn't have the guts to target you; there must be someone behind the scenes guiding her, otherwise it couldn't have been such a coincidence."

Hearing Zhao Gangzi say this, Xu Damao had an immediate epiphany.

After all, he hadn't even touched her, and Qin Huairu had just let out a shout, and suddenly so many people rushed in; this was definitely premeditated!

Afterwards, he looked at Zhao Gangzi with ill intent.

"So they were trying to harm you, and I had this bloody bad luck! Or are you trying to harm me?"

Xu Damao's eyes were practically spitting fire.

He had even clenched his fists, wanting to land a few punches on Zhao Gangzi; he now suspected that Zhao Gangzi had known about this all along and was intentionally trying to harm him.

Otherwise, how could the matter of borrowing the house have been agreed to so easily?

But the moment Xu Damao raised his fist, he was instantly subdued by Zhao Gangzi; after all, Xu Damao couldn't even beat Shazhu, let alone Zhao Gangzi, who had added a full circle of skill points.

"Ah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Xu Damao cried out in pain.

"I don't have the spare time to scheme against you, but I can tell you who the mastermind behind this matter is..."

Zhao Gangzi took a drag of his cigarette, paused for a moment, and blew out a smoke ring, which landed right on Xu Damao's face.

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao immediately perked up.

In any case, he was the one who had been hurt.

Someone had to take the fall for this!

Don't let him find out who it is, or he would break their toenails off!

"Who? Tell me quickly!"

Xu Damao's teeth gnashed with a creaking sound.

The anger in his heart had nowhere to be released, and now he couldn't even find a person to take revenge on!

"Yi Zhonghai!"

Zhao Gangzi said calmly.

Xu Damao's face turned livid; he should have guessed it was that old thing, who had even kicked him at the time, knowing full well he was being framed and still doing that!

That old thing really deserves to die!

Xu Damao didn't say a word, holding a breath of anger in his heart, and turned to leave.

However, it was clear that this matter would not end so easily.

Even if Xu Damao didn't do much, Zhao Gangzi would not let this old black dog go; after all, this was an intentional attempt to harm him, Zhao Gangzi!

And since Xu Damao had suffered such a great grievance this time, even if he didn't fight them to the death, he would have to have a good argument with them.

That night, the wind was high and the moon was dark.

A staggering black shadow kept darting about with a large bucket.

He used a shovel to rummage around in the latrine.

Not long after, this black shadow carried the wooden bucket to the entrance of Shazhu's house...

"Ah! Who the hell is dumping shit at our door? Do you have any public morality left?"

"Who on earth dares to go against me, Shazhu? You looking to die, huh?"

In the middle of the night, Shazhu dashed out stark naked.

Moreover, a foul stench was wafting from his body.

Even his hair and face were covered in liquid excrement; he looked exactly like someone who had just crawled out of a latrine.

Before Shazhu could figure out who dared to pull such a prank on him, screams also rang out from the Back Courtyard—Qin Huairu's panties had been stolen!

And they were stolen while she was asleep!

Even Huaihua's diapers hadn't been spared; they had all been stolen!

"Xu Damao is a reliable guy; he really gets things done efficiently!"

Zhao Gangzi heard these screams clearly from his home and couldn't help but smack his lips.

He didn't even take revenge openly.

He went straight for a dirty trick.

Instantly, the entire Siheyuan was in an uproar; Shazhu stood in the courtyard in a fit of impotent rage, while shrieks filled the Jia Family house.

As for the true culprit, Xu Damao, he had long since fled.

However, these few people were only accomplices; the real mastermind, Yi Zhonghai, had yet to be dealt with.

And Yi Zhonghai had no idea he was already being targeted.

The next morning, he went to report to the factory as usual.

In this era, those who could afford a bicycle as a means of transport were always in the minority, and having worked for so many years, Yi Zhonghai always walked to the factory.

It wasn't that he couldn't afford a bicycle, but the distance between the courtyard and the factory wasn't very far; it only took about ten minutes on foot to get there.

At this moment, Xu Damao was tailing not far behind First Uncle, holding a cyan brick in his hand.

"You old bastard, I'll show you for plotting against me! I'll fight you to the death!"

Xu Damao steeled his heart.

He raised the brick and charged over; before Yi Zhonghai could react, he heard a familiar voice, and then everything went black before his eyes as he fainted.

"Holy crap, I didn't kill him, did I? I didn't mean to!"

Looking at First Uncle, whose head was bleeding, Xu Damao panicked instantly; he had only intended to teach him a good lesson, never expecting him to be so fragile.

At a loss, he looked at Yi Zhonghai on the ground and couldn't help but shudder violently, then hurriedly hid the blood-stained brick in his jacket and bolted away.

In this situation, it would be better to find a bridge underpass to hide in for a few days.
