Chapter 293

"There's also Jia Zhang. She's in a worse state than you and Jia Dongxu; she's probably still lying at home."

The Third Aunt didn't hide it.

"How could that be?"

Yi Zhonghai was very surprised.

"First Uncle, everyone in the courtyard says that you went to catch the Pallas's cat, and the Pallas's cat has inherited it, specifically coming to take revenge on Jia Zhang and her son, plus you."

The Third Aunt stated the courtyard's speculation.

"Did the Pallas's cat not scratch anyone else?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned; he had heard many stories about animals taking revenge on people.

Some animals are very smart and hold grudges!

"No!"

"At that time, we were all in the courtyard, there were more than ten people."

"The Pallas's cat locked onto Jia Zhang. Even when Jia Zhang chased us and ran to our side, the Pallas's cat just locked onto Zhang Xuehua alone and scratched wildly."

The Third Aunt explained the situation.

That night.

The Pallas's cat coming for revenge became a hot topic in the courtyard.

The nearby courtyards all knew about it.

A few curious ones came specifically to the Sihe Academy to see the scratched Yi Zhonghai, as well as Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu, who almost got into a fight.

The next afternoon.

At the same time as yesterday, the Pallas's cat came to the Sihe Academy again and attacked Jia Zhang again, still only attacking Jia Zhang alone.

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu were attacked again on their way home from work.

The third day was the same.

On the fourth afternoon, Yi Zhonghai called a full courtyard meeting.

"I'll report the situation first. You've all heard that for four consecutive days, the Pallas's cat has come to the Sihe Academy or on the road to attack people in the courtyard."

"The Pallas's cat is very aggressive and moves flexibly; it's too dangerous."

"What if it attacks a child?"

"I suggest we pool our wisdom and efforts to think of a good way to kill the Pallas's cat, so as to avoid harm to the children and elderly in the courtyard."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai spoke, he elevated the Pallas's cat attack to the level of the entire courtyard's safety.

"I'll say a few words too!"

Wan Ping'an certainly couldn't let Yi Zhonghai succeed.

"Wan Ping'an, you..."

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to let Wan Ping'an speak.

No matter what the matter was, as long as Wan Ping'an intervened, it would definitely escape his control!

"First Uncle, do I not even have the right to speak?"

"Let you say a 'yes', and I will sit down immediately, guaranteeing not to say another word during the meeting, quietly watching you finish the meeting."

Wan Ping'an smiled.

Let's see how Yi Zhonghai answers.

Yi Zhonghai had a headache; saying a 'yes' was easy, but he couldn't afford the consequences!

"First Uncle, even if you are the First Uncle of the Sihe Academy, you can't deprive people of their right to speak, right?"

He Great Qing interjected with a smile.

"You speak!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed.

He had no way to stop Wan Ping'an from expressing his opinion.

"First Uncle, I want to ask you, who has the Pallas's cat attacked?"

Wan Ping'an asked a question he already knew the answer to.

"I know, so far, it has only attacked three people: Jia Zhang, Jia Dongxu, and our First Uncle comrade of the Sihe Academy!"

"First Uncle, I didn't miss anyone, did I?"

Xu Damao answered first.

Yi Zhonghai nodded; he wanted to add more, but there were none.

"When the Pallas's cat attacked, were there others around the three of you?"

"Did the Pallas's cat attack anyone else?"

"Or, were there any signs of it attacking others?"

Wan Ping'an pressed on.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head again.

The aunts and children in the courtyard also spoke up one after another.

"At least once, I encountered the Pallas's cat attacking Jia Zhang; the Pallas's cat only stared at Jia Zhang alone and had no interest in anyone else."

"First Uncle, did you hear that?"

"The Pallas's cat only attacks the three of you and has no interest in others. Where does the danger you speak of come from?"

"Besides, even if there really is danger, you should report it to the neighborhood office or seek help from the scenic area; why handle it yourself?"

Wan Ping'an questioned Yi Zhonghai.

"I wasn't thinking about not adding trouble to the neighborhood office and the police station?"

Yi Zhonghai was used to it and blurted it out.

Clap, clap, clap!

Wan Ping'an applauded.

"First Uncle, I want to ask one thing: in your opinion, is the Pallas's cat dangerous?"

Wan Ping'an stared at Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was suspicious in his heart; what did Wan Ping'an mean?

He asked this question, surely not casually; perhaps it was a trap. What kind of trap?

How should he answer?

Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a moment.

"First Uncle, please answer my question: do you think the Pallas's cat is dangerous?"

Wan Ping'an questioned again.

Everyone stared at Yi Zhonghai, waiting for him to give an answer.

"Dangerous!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

Wan Ping'an had asked twice already; if he didn't answer such a simple question, what would the neighbors think?

"Yi Zhonghai, your heart is too black!"

"If the Pallas's cat is dangerous, it should be handed over to professionals to handle, call the police, let the police bring guns to help, and shoot the Pallas's cat directly."

"What did you do?"

"You knew the Pallas's cat was dangerous, yet you still let us think of ways. Are you trying to kill us?"

"You didn't want to add trouble to the neighborhood office and the police station, so you let us go to our deaths?"

Wan Ping'an questioned sternly.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned white instantly; he finally understood Wan Ping'an's goal.

Boom!

The crowd exploded.

Wan Ping'an made sense; the Pallas's cat was dangerous, so they shouldn't be the ones to deal with it; let the police bring guns!

Yi Zhonghai let them go; what if they angered the Pallas's cat and something dangerous happened?

"First Uncle, you must give us an explanation!"

"Are you trying to kill us?"
