Qin Huairu thought about how Wang Jiefang had really been freed, and it struck her that the situation with Bang Geng had nothing to do with him. She turned and left Wang Jiefang's house, running towards Yi Zhonghai's place.
The crowd had dispersed, and Wang Jiefang had returned home to prepare dinner. Before long, he noticed that Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were hurrying out. It was no surprise; they were likely heading to the police station.
Indeed, the two of them went straight to the police station. Upon arrival, Qin Huairu learned that as long as the victim was willing to write a letter of forgiveness, Bang Geng could receive a lighter sentence. As for Sha Zhu? Yi Zhonghai hadn’t seen him at all.
Perhaps Sha Zhu had forgotten himself; he had been caught by the inspectors last time and was saved by the deaf old lady. However, he had caused quite a bit of trouble for others in the process. Most of the current leaders were veterans returning from the battlefield, and their camaraderie ran deep. Since someone had vouched for Sha Zhu, they didn’t say much out of respect for their fellow soldier, but that didn’t mean they would let him off easily.
As a result, Zhang Youren, the head of the police station, received countless calls inquiring about Sha Zhu. Zhang felt that this wasn’t concern for Sha Zhu; rather, it was a way for them to check in and ensure he was dealt with properly. Zhang Youren was an upright man, and since Sha Zhu had been behaving himself lately, he didn’t want to resort to dirty tactics against him. However, with pressure from above regarding his promotion, Sha Zhu’s situation had become untenable.
What courtesy could Zhang Youren afford? He directly detained Sha Zhu and informed those who had called about it. Sure enough, those leaders spoke to him in a much friendlier tone afterward.
This time, Sha Zhu had some backing from above, but without the deaf old lady advocating for him—if she were alive, she still wouldn’t be able to save him—Yi Zhonghai couldn’t even see Sha Zhu, let alone rescue him.
However, Yi Zhonghai did help Qin Huairu obtain a letter of forgiveness from the courtyard, which reportedly cost him quite a bit. Now that it was New Year’s time and most government offices were closed for the holiday, both Sha Zhu and Bang Geng were temporarily detained at the police station.
On the day of court proceedings for Sha Zhu’s case, he was sentenced to ten years for attempted molestation, extortion, and attempted theft. Given their capabilities, it wouldn’t have been impossible for them to sentence Sha Zhu to death; however, they felt that would be too lenient on him and could leave them vulnerable to scrutiny since they also had enemies. The atmosphere from above was becoming increasingly tense; they needed to tread carefully.
Moreover, they had prepared a surprise for Sha Zhu in prison, making it even less necessary to take his life.
Upon hearing that Sha Zhu had been sentenced to ten years, Yi Zhonghai immediately spat blood! He had worked hard to support two elderly people; one had passed away prematurely while this one was now sentenced to ten years. Who would take care of whom when Sha Zhu got out?
He could only pin his hopes on Bang Geng. However, just a few days later, Bang Geng was also sentenced to juvenile reform! This further devastated Yi Zhonghai; he aged significantly in just a few days.
With both Sha Zhu and Bang Geng sentenced, Qi Wang Ren specifically came to the courtyard to hold a legal education meeting. She wanted to scold someone but realized she didn’t know who to blame since no one in the courtyard seemed concerned about her promotion.
With Sha Zhu sentenced as well, he naturally lost his job at the steel factory. As for his house—since it was private property—the street office wouldn’t intervene and could only leave it as is for now.
