The deaf old lady chuckled softly, "Well, I can't say we were very close. When he was hiding in Kyoto, he was discovered during an invasion and got injured. In the chaos, he stumbled into my home, and out of kindness, I helped him! That's all there is to it!"
Yi Zhonghai nodded thoughtfully. No wonder Director Yang was so helpful to the old lady! Even Shazhu's favor from Director Yang must have been due to the old lady's influence!
With Director Yang's assurance, Yi Zhonghai no longer worried about Shazhu. The next day, he was promptly sent to the steel mill by the deaf old lady.
Yi Zhonghai waited at the steel mill for Director Yang to arrive so he could take Shazhu home as soon as possible. Little did he know that the two inspectors had determined from Shazhu's words that there were definitely issues within the leadership of the steel mill. They reported this up the chain, and their superiors took it very seriously.
If the inspection department had someone in their sights, they could thoroughly investigate that person. So when Director Yang arrived at the steel mill today, before Yi Zhonghai could greet him, several men in Zhongshan suits emerged from the security office and stopped Director Yang, showing him their credentials.
Yi Zhonghai overheard one of them say, "Comrade Yang Guofeng, we are from the inspection department. We need your cooperation on some matters. Please come with us."
Director Yang's face changed upon seeing the credentials. The moment he heard he needed to cooperate, his legs began to tremble. Since the founding of the nation, no official taken by this department had ever returned safely; Director Yang knew his time was up!
Without a word, he was escorted away by these men.
Realizing the severity of the situation, Yi Zhonghai discreetly sought out Section Chief Zheng and quietly slipped him a hundred yuan. Only then did Section Chief Zheng inform Yi Zhonghai that Shazhu had also been taken by inspectors!
Yi Zhonghai was taken aback. He hurriedly rushed towards the courtyard!
"Oh no! This is bad!" Yi Zhonghai gasped as he reached the deaf old lady's home.
"What are you shouting about? Has Shazhu been brought back?" The deaf old lady asked upon seeing Yi Zhonghai.
"Oh dear! It's terrible! Just now at the steel mill gate while waiting for Director Yang, I saw him being taken away by inspectors!"
"I found out that Shazhu has also been captured by them! What are we going to do?" Yi Zhonghai exclaimed.
The deaf old lady was shocked as well. "What!? You mean Shazhu was taken by inspectors? How is that possible? He's just a cook; why would they arrest him?"
"I don't know why they want Shazhu," Yi Zhonghai replied anxiously. "But we need to rescue him quickly; otherwise, he'll be in serious trouble!"
After a moment of thought, the old lady said to Yi Zhonghai, "You're right; our priority is to save Shazhu. The inspection department is not easy to deal with! You go out for a bit; I need some time alone to think of a plan!"
Yi Zhonghai understood that she wanted him out of the way and obediently agreed before leaving, even closing her door gently behind him.
Once Yi Zhonghai was gone, the deaf old lady hesitated for a moment before making up her mind to head to the east wall. She struggled to pry up some tiles at the base of the wall and then grabbed a small hoe to start digging. After digging about half a meter deep, a red box began to emerge!
She carefully stroked the box before cautiously opening it. As soon as she lifted the lid, her vision darkened and she nearly fainted from shock at what she saw inside!
