Chapter 238: Another meeting of the whole institute
Although the current incident seems to have come to an end, there are actually a series of follow-up problems that need to be solved urgently.
Yi Zhonghai's mind was as clear as a mirror. He knew that with his current abilities, he might not be able to directly help Sha Zhu to avenge his blood feud.
However, in this small world of the courtyard, it was not difficult for him to hide some embarrassing and awkward news for Sha Zhu.
After all, the fact that Sha Zhu became a childless person was like a deep and indelible brand of shame. If it were spread recklessly, Sha Zhu's future life would surely fall into an abyss of darkness from which there would be no escape.
Not to mention that he couldn't hold his head up in this mere courtyard. Even if he just took a step out of the gate of this courtyard, there would definitely be countless pairs of eyes pointing at him from behind and poking his spine mercilessly.
In this case, it is simply a fantasy and a daydream for Sha Zhu to find a suitable partner to start a family and achieve success in his career!
During this period, Yi Zhonghai followed his comrades from the police station to investigate various matters, running around and working tirelessly.
His prestige in the courtyard, which had originally been somewhat dim, suddenly regained some vitality like a dead tree coming back to life in spring.
In addition to the inherent impression that people in the hospital had long accumulated about him as a big shot, he felt that he had the responsibility and confidence to convene a meeting of the entire hospital again to talk about the matter of Sha Zhu.
Yi Zhonghai stood in the center of the courtyard, his expression as serious as a sculpture. The solemn atmosphere seemed to make the air freeze.
He cleared his throat, and the sound echoed in the silent yard. Then he raised his voice and said, "Dear neighbors, I have gathered you all here today because I have something important to tell you. I believe everyone knows about the incident involving Shazhu in our yard. The comrades from the police station have been investigating for a long time in the past few days. It took a lot of effort. Now it has been determined that it was an accident."
There was a slight commotion among the crowd below, like a breeze blowing across a calm lake. Everyone was whispering to each other, with all kinds of speculation and discussion going on.
Yi Zhonghai continued, "Anyway, this is not a glorious thing. Shazhu has had a hard life since he was young, just like a lonely boat swaying in the wind and rain. He lost his mother when he was young, and then his father ran away cruelly, leaving him alone in this world to struggle and grow up. He hasn't started a family yet. He finally made it to this day, but he suffered this misfortune. Tell me, how is he going to live in the future? It's really pitiful. We all live in the same courtyard, we see each other every day, and we get along like a family on weekdays. I sincerely hope that everyone can put themselves in the shoes of Shazhu."
At this time, someone in the crowd whispered, "This idiot Zhu will be extinct from now on. Alas, how tragic."
This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which instantly caused ripples. People around echoed it, and sighs came one after another. The voices were full of sympathy and helplessness for Sha Zhu's fate.
Yi Zhonghai frowned, his wrinkles were as deep as ravines, he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "So, I beg you here to be merciful, don't spread this matter, and be sure to keep this secret. This is not only about Sha Zhu's personal reputation. You know, our entire courtyard is a whole. We prosper together and suffer together. The people in our courtyard have always valued reputation and dignity. We can't let outsiders laugh at this matter and let our courtyard be shamed."
Liu Hai, who was sitting on the side, had a gloomy face and the anger in his heart was as raging as a volcano about to erupt.
He was originally extremely unhappy with Yi Zhonghai's decision to convene a full-house meeting without consulting him, and now he was even more furious.
The face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, dark and daunting.
Liu Haizhong snorted loudly from his nose, the sound was deafening.
The people around him were startled by the sudden loud noise and turned their eyes to him with surprise and confusion in their eyes.
However, the anger in Liu Hai did not diminish at all, but became even stronger.
He thought to himself, "This Yi Zhonghai is too self-righteous! He has the final say on everything and doesn't take me seriously at all. Can he just call this whole courtyard meeting whenever he wants? Does he really think he is the only boss in this courtyard? Now I am the boss of this courtyard, and this guy is so arrogant!"
Thinking of this, the fist in his bangs clenched unconsciously, and the joints turned slightly white due to excessive force.
At the same time, Yan Bugui's small, round eyes were quietly observing Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai's every move.
He first glanced at the angry Liu Haizhong, and then quickly glanced at Yi Zhonghai who looked calm, his eyes revealing a hint of cunning and gossip.
Then, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously to the people beside him: "Look, these two gentlemen are probably going to have another argument. Every time something happens, they have a lot of thoughts like a spider web. Unlike me, I just need to manage our yard quietly and honestly, so as not to cause trouble."
After saying this, Yan Bugui did not forget to shake his head slightly, as if he was helpless about the conflict between Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai.
The people around him nodded silently, and no one dared to speak loudly, as if they were cast under a silencing spell.
Their hearts were filled with fear and worry, fearing that they would be drawn into this seemingly calm but actually turbulent potential dispute if they were not careful, and become innocent victims of the fight between the two old men.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai seemed to be completely unaware of the dissatisfaction on Liu Haizhong's face, and continued to speak as he pleased: "Dear neighbors, did you hear what I said clearly? Our courtyard is a big family, and we must unite as one! Only in this way can we jointly protect this small world that belongs to us and keep it in a harmonious and peaceful state. If anyone dares to violate these principles, don't blame me for being ruthless! I do this for the benefit of each and every one of us, and I sincerely hope that everyone can understand my good intentions!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone nodded hurriedly, expressing their agreement with what Yi Zhonghai said.
Although on the surface everyone expressed support and approval for his proposal, in fact, deep down in their hearts, they all had different calculations and held very different ideas.
Some of them thought that this matter should be kept strictly confidential, after all, they wanted to prevent Sha Zhu from being embarrassed; while others began to ponder the whole matter secretly, suspecting that there might be some unknown secrets hidden behind it, and even wondered whether Yi Zhonghai knew some key information but deliberately concealed it.
As time passed, the meeting finally came to an end.
The crowd gradually dispersed like the tide, leaving only the empty yard and the lingering discussions.
However, all the gossip about Sha Zhu spread quickly to every corner of the courtyard as if they had wings, and it is still the hottest topic that everyone likes to discuss after dinner.
Several women huddled together in a corner, chattering endlessly like lit firecrackers.
One of the women said with a sad face: "Tell me what will happen to this silly Zhu in the future! With his current body and bones, which girl would be willing to follow him? Alas, I am afraid that the rest of his life is completely ruined."
Another woman nearby also nodded in agreement, "That's right! God is really good at playing tricks on us. A healthy and strong young man was ruined into this state in the blink of an eye. This is simply a sin!"
At the same time, a group of men gathered in a circle not far away, discussing with serious expressions whether there was any unknown secret hidden behind this incident.
They always maintained a skeptical attitude towards the judgment results given by the police station.
At this time, someone in the crowd couldn't help but speak up and express his opinion: "In my opinion, this matter is so simply defined as an accident. I always feel that something is not right. Think about it, why did the wild dog choose to bite Shazhu, and specifically bite such a vital part? Isn't there anything strange about this?"
As soon as the voice fell, someone else immediately took over the conversation and echoed: "Who said it wasn't? But since the police station has already come to this conclusion, and we don't have any solid evidence, what can we do even if we have doubts? Can we overturn their judgment?"
After hearing this, everyone fell silent, shaking their heads helplessly and sighing.
Liu Haizhong returned home angrily, and as soon as he entered the house, he complained to his wife: "Look at Yi Zhonghai's behavior. He didn't even discuss such a big matter as holding a meeting of the whole hospital with me. Does he really think he is the boss of this hospital? Humph! It's obvious that he doesn't take me seriously and wants to be the center of attention. I won't let it go so easily."
Second Auntie came over to comfort him: "Alright, don't be angry. It's not worth getting sick from this. Maybe he was just too anxious to deal with Sha Zhu's matter and didn't have time to spare. Don't take it too seriously. We're all from the same courtyard, why make things so awkward?"
Liu Haizhong was not relenting: "Didn't he have time? He did it on purpose. He wanted to establish his own prestige in the hospital and suppress me. I am not a pushover in this hospital. I have to find a chance to talk to him properly."
