Not only the factory director but also several section chiefs were taken away in a large sweep! Among them was the cafeteria manager!
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, the old lady managed to rescue Zhuzi; otherwise, Zhuzi's life would have been in danger!
Yi Zhonghai's worries were not unfounded. Each of those taken away had powerful connections. The fact that they were affected was no secret; it all stemmed from Zhuzi's situation!
If the deaf old lady hadn't intervened to save Zhuzi, he might have ended up as just another pawn in their schemes. Even if Zhuzi didn't die, once he was imprisoned, it would be easy for those once in power to want him dead!
Yi Zhonghai shared these concerns with Zhuzi, who was now sweating nervously. He rushed to the old lady's house and bowed several times, saying, "Thank you for saving my life! From now on, I will be like your own grandson!"
The deaf old lady had lost a box of gold and was worried about Zhuzi's safety. The day after Zhuzi returned, she fell ill!
Now seeing Zhuzi with blood on his forehead from bowing so much, she felt heartbroken and helped him up. "Cough cough! Zhuzi, I treat you like my own grandson. Just being well makes me happy!"
The old lady noticed Yi Zhonghai's anxious expression and continued, "Your Uncle Yi has been running around trying to save you. He even took out four thousand five hundred yuan to pay your fine. You must honor him well! I’m sure you understand his intentions and hope you can support him and Aunt Yi in their old age!"
Zhuzi bowed again to Yi Zhonghai. "Uncle Yi, don’t worry! From today on, you are my godfather! I will definitely take care of Grandma and you both in your old age!"
Yi Zhonghai was overwhelmed with emotion and quickly helped Zhuzi up. "Good! Zhuzi, your Uncle Yi and I will rely on you from now on!"
At that moment, the old lady said to Zhuzi, "Zhuzi, since you've survived this ordeal, I hope you'll stay away from the Jia family. They are all wolves in sheep's clothing! It was Jia Zhang who reported you this time!"
Zhuzi loathed Jia Zhang for reporting him but felt conflicted when he thought of Qin Huairu. "Grandma, it's true that Jia Zhang is a wolf in sheep's clothing, but Sister Qin is a good woman. She's in such a difficult situation; if I don’t help her, how will she get by?"
"Zhuzi, are you trying to give me a heart attack?" The deaf old lady coughed angrily upon hearing Zhuzi defend Qin Huairu.
Seeing her upset, Zhuzi quickly comforted her. "Grandma, please don’t be angry! I promise to stay away from the Jia family!"
Regardless of whether it was true or not, hearing Zhuzi say this made the old lady happy. At worst, she could keep an eye on things and ensure that Qin Huairu stayed away from her grandson!
Yi Zhonghai remained silent as he pondered whether to match Qin Huairu with Zhuzi after all. In the end, considering Qin Huairu’s attentiveness, he decided to proceed with his original plan.
He understood that Zhuzi was a careless person and didn’t feel secure entrusting his retirement life to someone like him. On the other hand, Qin Huairu was much more careful when it came to taking care of others. If Zhuzi earned money while Qin Huairu managed his daily life, their lives would be quite pleasant!
The deaf old lady understood Yi Zhonghai’s intentions as well; she had advised him before but found him stubbornly set in his ways.
Sigh! I'm getting old! I can't worry about so much anymore!
Wang Jiefang learned that Zhuzi had returned but didn't pay him any mind. To him, it was fair play; since Zhuzi had reported him once, he would report Zhuzi back.
As for whether Zhuzi lived or died after the report? That was no longer his concern!
