Yi Zhonghai, our family is willing to compensate you. Our courtyard's reputation is already tarnished enough. If more people get arrested, how will we ever step outside? For the sake of our courtyard's reputation, please forgive them, Yi Zhonghai.
That's right, Yi Zhonghai. Didn't you say back when you were a big shot that the issues in the courtyard would be resolved? Although you're no longer a big shot, you still live here. How can you call the police? You really lack a sense of community!
The hospital room was filled with these women, and since they entered, they had been chattering non-stop. Yi Zhonghai's head was buzzing from the noise. What frustrated him the most was that their words sounded eerily familiar; he realized he had said similar things before. Damn it, he had said those things to maintain control over the courtyard, and now they were using it against him!
Yi Zhonghai could only sit there in silence, and given his injuries, how could he possibly argue with these women? So, he simply rolled his eyes back and pretended to faint.
The commotion soon attracted a doctor, who promptly shooed the women away. Yi Zhonghai took this opportunity to wake up.
"Doctor, please help me keep these people away in the future; they seriously affect my recovery!"
"Don't worry, Comrade Yi. I'll talk to security. No one will be allowed into your room without your permission from now on."
"Thank you, Doctor."
With the doctor's intervention, the people from the courtyard never showed up again.
A couple of days later, the police came to Yi Zhonghai's room and informed him that those who had attacked him were sentenced to six months of labor reform because they couldn't determine who had started the fight.
This verdict hit the courtyard like a thunderbolt. After failing to obtain Yi Zhonghai's forgiveness letter, they had hoped that the court would consider the number of attackers and let them off lightly. However, they were shocked when the court sentenced all of them together! It must be said that these people were truly ignorant of the law; they believed in some notion of collective responsibility. If it weren't for the police and the court recognizing them as ordinary citizens, they might have been labeled as a gang!
For those in the courtyard, a six-month sentence wasn't the worst part; having a criminal record meant they would definitely be fired from their jobs!
Perhaps it was due to the new street office not knowing about the chaos at Courtyard 95 that it wasn't until after everyone's sentences were handed down that he reported for duty.
The street office staff understood his intentions well; if he reported just as twenty-five people from the courtyard were sentenced at once, it would greatly impact his career!
Now he was cunningly waiting for their sentences to be finalized before taking office—this way, it wouldn’t reflect on his record!
Almost every family in the courtyard had men sentenced to prison, casting a gloomy shadow over the entire place.
Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi looked relieved as they spoke to Xiao Dang: "Thank goodness Xiao Dang stopped us from going with Wang Jiefang to that bar! Otherwise, we would definitely have been detained too. Who knows what might have happened to Xiao Dang and Huaihua!"
Xiao Dang and Huaihua also felt a wave of relief. They knew Wang Jiefang was not someone to mess with. In the end, after much persuasion, they managed to convince Jia Zhangshi not to go along with Wang Jiefang's plans.
Looking back now, they truly made the right call! They never expected Wang Jiefang would be so ruthless as to call the police and have everyone arrested!
That was over a hundred people!
