Factory Director Yang's expression also changed.

He originally thought it was a small matter that he could resolve with just a few words.

Unexpectedly, the matter escalated further.

Yi Zhonghai is now stubbornly clinging to his own position.

If that's the case, does he really intend to open the bag and show it to everyone?

No!

Absolutely not!

How should he explain it once he sees what's in the bag?

Just when they were getting anxious.

He Hongyang heard Yi Zhonghai shout.

He sneered, "Yi Zhonghai, keep making trouble. The bigger the fuss, the more you'll suffer later!"

He was about to walk towards Director Yang.

Then two people came from a distance.

It was Liu Qiang and Director Ma who investigated.

210. He Hongyang cleverly broke the deadlock by leveraging external forces.

Liu Qiang is reporting to Director Ma on the recent situation at the steel plant.

Director Ma plans to visit the steel rolling mill this afternoon to learn more.

I never expected to run into He Hongyang.

The two people greeted him happily: "What are you doing here?"

"I was helping someone with their medical needs and just happened to be passing by."

"Have you had lunch yet? It's rare to run into you today, let's find a restaurant nearby and have a couple of drinks."

He Hongyang pretended to be looking at the lively scene ahead: "It seems like something's happened over there, shall we go take a look?"

Liu Qiang pulled him aside: "It's probably just some trivial stuff from the old ladies in the alley. What's so interesting about that? Drinking is the most important thing."

He Hongyang, with his legs crossed, said, "There's one person in there who looks really familiar to me. Take a look."

Liu Qiang looked in that direction.

There's someone among them who looks like Factory Director Yang.

Why is he here?

"Dr. He, please take a look and see if that person is Director Yang?"

Upon hearing Liu Qiang's words, Director Ma quickly looked over.

The person in the middle is Director Yang.

"Has something happened? I think his bicycle looks like it's been caught in someone's trap."

That's okay.

One of them was from the security department of the steel rolling mill, and the other was from the city's public security bureau. How could they let Director Yang suffer a loss?

The two of them rushed over in one stride.

He Hongyang followed behind them at a leisurely pace.

"Everyone, please make way, what's going on here?"

"Director Yang, what are you doing here? Did you run into a thief?"

Upon seeing their arrival, Director Yang immediately felt relieved.

"Yi Zhonghai wouldn't let go of my car."

Yi Zhonghai?!

This is an old acquaintance from the courtyard. What is he doing here? How did he manage to extort money from Director Yang?

Liu Qiang grabbed his arm and said, "Let go of me right now."

When Yi Zhonghai saw them arrive, he felt a little scared.

These two people will definitely help Director Yang.

However, he quickly calmed himself down.

The evidence is now conclusive.

Moreover, with so many people around, even if they wanted to help, they couldn't.

Mustering her courage, she pointed at his bag.

“I was holding his bicycle because I discovered their shady dealings.”

"Director Yang has two cartons of good cigarettes in his bag. Does he dare to say where those two cartons came from?"

Seeing that he was spouting nonsense, Liu Qiang angrily said, "This is pure slander!"

Wang Xiangqian added, "Don't listen to him, everyone. He holds a grudge against Director Yang for firing him before, so he's deliberately acting like a scoundrel here."

Yi Zhonghai looked at him and said, "You gave him those two packs of cigarettes. I saw it with my own eyes."

"No, he's the factory manager, how could I possibly have the opportunity to deal with him?"

“I heard what you said just now at 740. You wanted to find a job for your wife, so you gave him these two packs of cigarettes.”

“I think you’re just spouting nonsense. My wife stays home to take care of the kids. Besides, she can’t even read, so how could she possibly work at a steel mill?”

"You said that the steel rolling mill would be hiring a batch of temporary workers in a few days, and that you should have your wife work as a temporary worker. After you stuffed the things into Director Yang's arms, he indicated that there would be absolutely no problem with you."

"Section Chief Liu, you're from the factory's security department, you should know the situation in the factory best. Are you going to hire a batch of temporary workers in a few days?"

“I no longer work at the steel rolling mill. If they hadn’t told me, how would I have known that the factory was hiring?”

"I heard and saw everything clearly just now, so stop denying it!"

Everyone listened to Yi Zhonghai's account with great detail and conviction.

They began to whisper amongst themselves.

"Who is telling the truth? Is there really something in Director Yang's bag? Is Wang Xiangqian really going to find a job for his wife?"

Why don't you open the package and let everyone see?

"It must be because these two cartons of cigarettes are of unknown origin that they're scared!"

"Where did it come from? Could it have been bought privately?"

"Shh, didn't you see Director Ma is here? We'd better keep quiet."

Liu Qiang completely ignored what Yi Zhonghai was saying.

Factory Director Yang is his superior.

Who is Yi Zhonghai? He's just a temporary worker now.

They're not even good enough to carry Director Yang's shoes, yet they dare to yell at him!

Even if he had something in his bag, so what? It's none of his business.

He grabbed his arm and shoved it behind his back: "You dare disrespect the factory manager? Watch out, or I'll cripple you!"

Yi Zhonghai cried out "Ouch!" Although his arms were restrained, his legs were still tightly gripping the bicycle.

"Director Ma, you've seen it, he's already made his move, you can't just ignore it."

Director Ma frowned.

He felt there was something fishy about the matter.

If Director Yang's bag contained nothing, why would Yi Zhonghai insist on pursuing this matter so relentlessly?

Yi Zhonghai continued, "Actually, it's not that complicated. All he has to do is open the bag and let everyone see it."

"Even though he's the factory manager, he's now being suspected. Doesn't he even have the courage to clear his name?"

"If you're so capable, open the bag. If you can explain what's inside, I'm willing to accept any beating or punishment. If you can't, then Director Ma will handle it."

He's now pinning Director Yang down here, forcing him to open his bag.

Wang Xiangqian said, "Why should I open it? I won't fight."

Liu Qiang added, "That's right, he's the factory director. Do you think he can just open a bag for anyone on the street? What if there are important documents in the bag?"

Yi Zhonghai snorted: "Don't try to scare me with this. The only way to prove your innocence is to open the bag. Otherwise, there's something wrong with you."

Just when everyone was at a loss.

He Hongyang stepped forward.

"You couldn't make it in the courtyard house, so you've come to other alleys to embarrass yourself."

Yi Zhonghai recognized him immediately.

His eyes widened in shock.

This matter is absolutely related to him and his sister-in-law, yet he still dared to come!

He Hongyang is really bold. Isn't he afraid of being exposed?

It's good that you're here!

That way he won't have to go to the courtyard house to look for him again.

Let's just get things straight right here!

"do you know him?"

Wang Xiangqian looked at him and asked him, then said dismissively, "Nonsense, this is Dr. He from the factory. Everyone in the entire steel rolling mill knows him."

Do you know his sister-in-law?

"That's someone else's sister-in-law, how could I possibly know her?"

“These two cartons of cigarettes were given to you by his sister-in-law back in the abandoned factory.”

Wang Xiangqian realized that Yi Zhonghai was trying to trick him into revealing information, and quickly said, "What abandoned factory? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You still want to deny it? Although his sister-in-law was disguised, I recognized the sneakers she was wearing."

"Think about it, how could two sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls get their hands on such good cigarettes? It must be He Hongyang who is behind it all."

“He Hongyang, if you want to prove your innocence, tell me where these two cartons of cigarettes came from.”

"Now that Director Yang and Director Ma are both here, if you explain the situation clearly, they might spare your life. If you don't, then things will get complicated."

"You probably don't know yet, but He Daqing is here. He's keeping an eye on your two sisters-in-law."

"Hahaha, now the evidence is conclusive, I don't think you can escape even if you grow wings!"

He first grabbed Director Yang's car handle and wouldn't let go, then falsely accused him.

Now they're targeting He Hongyang again, framing him.

It seems Yi Zhonghai is desperate and will bite anyone he can get his hands on.

Director Ma had believed him to some extent just now.

When he pointed the finger at He Hongyang again, I simply didn't believe him at all.

Who is He Hongyang? Even if everyone else makes a mistake, he will not!

"I see you're making a last-ditch effort. Do you even know what crime it is to frame Director Yang?"

"In broad daylight, you dare to grab onto a factory manager's car handlebars? I think you're asking for death."

"Now they're framing He Hongyang and his sister-in-law, claiming there's solid evidence, it's just a complete distortion of the facts."

"Section Chief Liu, what are you standing there for? Take him down!"
