Chapter 167

Yi Zhonghai is already over 50 years old this year. At such an old age, how can he bear such grievances?
I thought that after such a long time, the grudges between him and the people in the yard should have been resolved long ago, but I didn't expect that Director Yang would suddenly appear and live in my house.
In fact, Yi Zhonghai wanted to retreat for a moment just now, but Liu Haizhong's arrogant look made him angry.

You know, when he was in the yard before, he looked down on that idiot Liu Haizhong the most.

How could Yi Zhonghai accept being looked down upon by the other party?
Now think about it, the people do not fight against the officials.

I used to be able to endure these grievances, but why can’t I endure them today?
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was also very regretful. His eyes kept rolling around, and suddenly he pointed at Han Chunming and said,
"Oh, right, this guy is also dealing in antiques, and he does a much bigger job than me. He's Han Chunming, the leader of the Rag Gang. He's dealt in at least 1000 antiques, if not 800. Aren't you trying to arrest me for dealing in antiques?"

"Well, I will bite him out when the time comes, and we will all be in this together."

Yi Zhonghai was at his wit's end. He thought he could control Han Chunming with this.

Who would have thought that Han Chunming would actually laugh when he heard this.

"Yi Zhonghai, you don't think that I, the leader of the Rags and Bone Gang, am a rootless duckweed like you, right? Since I dared to establish this gang, I have already thought of all the ways out. Apart from anything else, if you can find an antique from me, you can kill me or chop me up as you please."

Han Chunming received more than a thousand antiques. During this period of time, with so many people under him, several antiques were received every day. Of course, not all of them were valuable items from the palace, but most of them were worthy of collection.

During this period, we received more than 1 pieces, if not 8000.

Han Chunming certainly could not hide so many antiques, but what impressed him was that Li Jiandong could find a place to hide these things.

That’s nearly 10,000 antiques, including some large items.

Li Jiandong hid all these things without anyone noticing. Han Chunming had tried to find them many times, but could not find any clues.
At the beginning, Han Chunming was even more cautious. Although his family had connections, he did not dare to collect antiques in a blatant manner, for fear that if he had no place to put them, they would be found and Li Jiandong would be implicated.
It was not until later that he discovered that no matter how many antiques he collected, Li Jiandong could hide them well. Then he started to expand his business and collected more and more antiques.

So now Yi Zhonghai is using this matter to threaten him, Han Chunming is not afraid at all. Even if he does not have those family connections behind him, he can definitely be invincible just by relying on Li Jiandong's ability to hide antiques.
You said he collects antiques, where are the antiques?
Such a big gang must have collected a lot of antiques. What are you talking about if you can't even find one?

Seeing how confident he was, Yi Zhonghai felt a little uneasy.
Hu Haodang shouted, "Stop talking nonsense. Now we are talking about Yi Zhonghai and you. Is there an antique vase in your sack? Whether it is genuine or fake, it means you are in this business. Then come with me."

Hu Haodang stepped forward and grabbed Yi Zhonghai by the collar.

He is not so good at talking, but he is very decisive in doing things.

Although he had no subordinates around him, it was still easy for him to capture Yi Zhonghai with his skills.

Yi Zhonghai still wanted to resist, but he only had one arm, and even if he was in good health, he was no match for Hu Haodang.

Hu Haodang immediately twisted his arm and pressed Yi Zhonghai to the ground.

"Yi Zhonghai, I warn you, you'd better behave yourself, or you'll suffer."

Hu Haodang raised his hand and slapped Yi Zhonghai on the back of the head.

Then, they grabbed him by the collar, pulled him up from the ground, and took him to the steel mill.

Although it is Chinese New Year and the steel mill has been closed for holiday, there are still many security personnel on duty there.

Hu Haodang planned to lock Yi Zhonghai in the warehouse of the steel rolling mill first, and then take advantage of the boredom during these few days to slowly deal with him.

After they have subdued him, they will send him to the detention center.

Hu Haodang had no good feelings towards this person who instigated conflicts in the compound. If he could kill him, Hu Haodang even wanted to kill him. Anyway, he did not intend to let him go easily.

"Wait, wait, Hu Haodang, Director Hu, even if I, Yi Zhonghai, have done something wrong to you, we are still in the same compound after all. There is no need to make such a fuss."

"Old Liu, Old Yan, please say something for me. It's New Year's Day, are you just going to watch me being taken away?

We have been friends for many years, and I came back this time just to reunite with you old brothers."

When Yi Zhonghai saw that the other party was so decisive, he immediately started to play the favor card.

Unfortunately, he has long lost his popularity in this courtyard. Every resident dislikes him and wishes he would get out as soon as possible.

Hearing his words at this moment, even Yan Bugui, who was usually soft-hearted, turned his head away and didn't want to look at him.

Jia Zhang said even more sarcastically,

"Yi Zhonghai, you should just confess honestly. Don't you know what kind of person you are? You still come to see us. I think you can't make it out there anymore. Have you offended others again?"

Changing the subject, Jia Zhang continued,

"But if you really want us to let you go, there is a way. As long as you take the initiative to hand over the house, maybe everyone will be happy and spare your life."
Jia Zhang is a more realistic person.

For him, it doesn’t matter whether Yi Zhonghai is dead or alive. If he can get his house, wouldn’t that be a profit?

Although a house is not worth much money, it is still worth five or six hundred yuan.

Of course, Jia Zhang also knew that even if Yi Zhonghai was willing to give out the house, it would definitely not be her turn.

So this time she was asking for it on behalf of Director Yang. If Yi Zhonghai could finally give this house to Director Yang, it would also be a credit to her.

If Director Yang is reinstated in the future, won't he find a way to repay her?
When Jia Dongxu heard this, he also said,

"Yi Zhonghai, if you are willing to hand over the house, let's forget about this matter today. Don't think that we are bullying you. It was you who repeatedly destroyed the unity of our compound. Hand over the house, and we will regard it as you realize your mistake."

Jia Dongxu is now the director of the Department of Energy, and he took over the position after Director Yang was demoted.

So I felt a little apologetic towards Yang Changchang.

Although he did not fight for the promotion, he was the one who benefited after Director Yang was demoted.

Therefore, if we can help Director Yang get a house, it will give him some comfort in his heart, and his guilt will be slightly reduced when he faces Director Yang.

Liu Haizhong saw that he was the one who was supposed to catch Yi Zhonghai, but now Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu were the ones who got the limelight.
It's okay for Jia Dongxu to be in the limelight. After all, he is the director of the Energy Department, half a level higher than him, the deputy director of the steel mill management committee. But who is Jia Zhang? How can he let her take away the credit? "That's right, Director Jia is right!" Liu Haizhong coughed twice and rushed to speak.

"Yi Zhonghai, your biggest problem is that you destroyed the unity of our compound. Now I'm giving you a way out. Hand over the house and we'll forgive you. Now it's up to you to decide. Do you want the house or your freedom?"

Hu Haodang glanced at Liu Haizhong with some displeasure.
To him, a house was nothing at all; he just wanted to send Yi Zhonghai in.

After Yi Zhonghai was sent in, wasn't the house also occupied by Director Yang?
At most, there is no title deed.

However, when he saw Director Yang again, his heart softened.

He was once his boss, but now he is down and out and doesn't even have a house. Now he has a chance to snatch a house from Yi Zhonghai for him. For the sake of his old leader, Hu Haodang can only put himself in a difficult position for now.

"Well, since Director Jia and Lao Liu have given you this way out, you can decide for yourself whether you want to come back to the steel mill with me and let me deal with you slowly, and then be locked up for ten or eight years, or whether you are willing to hand over the house and obtain our forgiveness."

Yi Zhonghai is a man of flexibility and adaptability, and he is also a smart man.

He understood that Hu Haodang was not just talking. If he rejected the other party's olive branch, Hu Haodang would definitely get himself involved.

When he was at the steel mill, he had heard about Hu Haodang's methods. Torture was his specialty.

If I were really locked up, I might not be able to accept the torture.

This should be his last chance. If he can really give up a house and get forgiveness from the whole hospital,
Yi Zhonghai thinks it should be worth it.

So, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, no problem. I came back this time just to get everyone's forgiveness. If everyone is willing to forgive me, I am willing to give you this house, but I have two conditions."

Although Yi Zhonghai was willing to take the house, he didn't want to end up with nothing.

What if someone takes his house and then turns against him?
When Liu Haizhong heard that he had two more conditions, he immediately changed his attitude.
"Yi Zhonghai, I advise you to be honest. This time we are giving you the opportunity, not trying to steal your things. And you are trying to make conditions with us?"

Hu Haodang didn't want to let Yi Zhonghai go, so he grabbed his collar and took him away.

He also said, "Since you don't want to hand over the house, let's go to the steel mill, so that you won't say we are forcing you."

Yi Zhonghai was startled and shouted loudly,

"Director Hu, don't worry. My two conditions are very simple."

Jia Zhang also hurried over to hold him back and said to Hu Haodang:

"Old Hu, don't be so anxious. Let's first listen to what Yi Zhonghai wants to say. If his two conditions are really simple, it's okay for us to agree to them. After all, this house is for our old leader."

When the old leader was mentioned, Hu Haodang stopped.

He snorted coldly and said to Yi Zhonghai,
"Well, for the sake of our old boss, I'll give you one minute to quickly state these two conditions. But I warn you, if you don't really want to hand over the house, we won't give you another chance."

"Okay, okay, thank you for giving us the opportunity,"

Yi Zhonghai nodded repeatedly, and then said anxiously, "My two conditions are very simple. The first condition is..."

"My first condition is that if I hand over the house, then our hospital must arrange a temporary residence for me, even if it is a dormitory in the steel mill.

Otherwise, if I hand over my house, where will I live? You know the situation in our street. Even if I want to rent a house, I can’t find one.”

This condition is reasonable. The housing situation on the street has become increasingly severe in the past two years.

Hu Haodang nodded.

"Okay, we can agree to this condition. As long as you are willing to hand over the house and transfer it to Director Yang, I can help you arrange a dormitory in the steel mill."

As the director of the steel rolling mill's management committee, Hu Haodang was able to do such small things as arranging a dormitory for others.

Liu Haizhong was standing by and couldn't wait to say:

"Okay, Yi Zhonghai, please continue with your second condition. If your second condition is also that simple, let's quickly transfer the ownership of the house."

"Okay, I'll tell you the second condition."

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"My second condition is also very simple, that is, Li Jiandong must come forward and accept my apology."

"After all, Li Jiandong is in charge of our courtyard. Although he has moved out, he is still the head of our courtyard. When I was in the courtyard before, I had a big quarrel with him. Now I am even giving away my house. I hope to get his forgiveness."

I have to say that Yi Zhonghai still has some foresight. He knows that Li Jiandong still has the final say in this hospital.

These people might go back on their promise, but if Li Jiandong agrees to him and can settle previous grudges, Yi Zhonghai can still rest assured.

This is what a person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Li Jiandong has never broken his promise to others.

So Yi Zhonghai only believed in him.

Yan Bugui nodded and said:

"I don't think this condition is excessive. The conflict between Lao Yi and our hospital originated from the competition between him and Lao Li for the position of Grandpa.

No matter what, Lao Li is still the head of our hospital. Forgiving Yi Zhonghai for such a serious matter should be handled by him, the head of our hospital."

Liu Haizhong also nodded and said:

"Old Yan is right. For Yi Zhonghai to return to our hospital is such a big deal. No matter what, we should get the nod from our great master. We can't go beyond this. Don't you think so, Director Hu?"
