"You’re so foolish, Qin Huairu! How could you let Zhuzi steal from the factory? Now he’s been caught, and it’s all your fault!"
Yi Zhonghai was at a loss for how to deal with Qin Huairu’s words.
"Woohoo, Yi Da Ye, I didn’t know that silly Zhu would get caught! Please think of a way to save him!" Qin Huairu pleaded with tears in her eyes.
"Ah! What can I do? I asked Section Chief Zheng from the security department, but he wouldn’t even acknowledge me. I tried to talk to Factory Director Yang, but he brushed me off too! Now we can only turn to the old lady; hopefully, she’ll have a good solution!"
"Yes! Let’s find the old ancestor; she must have a way!"
The two hurried to the back courtyard where the deaf old lady lived. Upon seeing her, Yi Zhonghai immediately said, "Old lady, Zhuzi has been caught by the security department. Please think of a way to save him!"
The deaf old lady frowned upon hearing that Zhuzi had been caught. "Isn’t he supposed to be at work? How could he get caught?"
Yi Zhonghai hesitated but recounted how Qin Huairu had let Zhuzi steal the flour. After hearing this, the deaf old lady picked up her cane and struck Qin Huairu. "It’s all because of you, you little vixen! You’ve gotten my dear grandson caught! I’ll beat you to death!"
Qin Huairu was struck a couple of times and immediately burst into tears. Yi Zhonghai quickly intervened, saying, "Old lady! This isn’t the time for hitting people; we need to think of a way to rescue Zhuzi!"
"Right! I need to save my dear grandson first. Once he’s safe, I’ll settle accounts with you, you little vixen! Xiao Yi, hurry up and carry me!" Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the deaf old lady stopped immediately.
Yi Zhonghai carried the deaf old lady out of the courtyard and asked in confusion, "Old lady, where are we going?"
"To Factory Director Yang’s house!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's expression fell. "Old lady, I’ve already been to Factory Director Yang’s place, but he refuses to agree to help Zhuzi!"
"Don’t worry; I’m not like you," the deaf old lady replied confidently.
Since it was after work hours now, Yi Zhonghai carried the deaf old lady directly to Factory Director Yang's house. When Yang opened the door and saw Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, he frowned but still invited them in.
The deaf old lady didn’t waste any words; once inside, she said directly, "Xiao Yang, I’m sure you can guess why I’m here. Can you release Zhuzi?"
Factory Director Yang pretended to be troubled. "Old lady, since you’ve come all this way, I certainly have to give you face. However, Zhu Huzhu was caught by the head of security; it’s indeed a bit difficult to release him."
The deaf old lady stared at Factory Director Yang for a moment before slowly speaking up. "How about this: Xiao Yang, this is my last request to you. After this time, I won’t bother you again. What do you say?"
Hearing this from the deaf old lady made Factory Director Yang relax his expression. He smiled and said, "Since you’ve put it that way, I’ll have them release Zhuzi from the security department first thing in the morning!"
Factory Director Yang still thought that Zhuzi had just been detained by security and had no idea that Zhuzi had sold him out completely!
Once the deaf old lady received confirmation from Factory Director Yang, she instructed Yi Zhonghai to carry her away. Curious, Yi Zhonghai asked her, "Old lady, are you familiar with our Factory Director Yang?"
