Chapter 294

Wan Ping'an pressed his advantage.

"I didn't!"

"I, I, I thought that no matter how powerful the Pallas's cat was, it could only scratch like a cat, and it would definitely not bring life-threatening danger."

Yi Zhonghai defended himself.

"Yi Zhonghai, do you believe that yourself?"

"You, Jia Zhang, and Jia Dongxu are all adults, and all in your prime; there wouldn't be any major issues."

"But have you thought about the children?"

"If we collectively took action against the Pallas's cat and angered it, making it go crazy, what would happen if it attacked the children?"

"Can the Pallas's cat not kill adults, but can it not kill children?"

Wan Ping'an questioned again.

Yi Zhonghai swayed and almost slid off his chair.

He finally realized that he had a fatal loophole; he had neglected the children's issue and forgotten to consider the safety of the children in the courtyard.

Clap, clap, clap!

The Deaf Old Lady slammed her cane on the table, making everyone quiet down.

"Everyone listen to me."

"Zhonghai just didn't consider things thoroughly and neglected the children's issue; he definitely didn't do it on purpose. Even if you gave him the guts, he wouldn't dare."

"Zhonghai, why don't you thank Ping'an for the reminder?"

"If it weren't for his reminder, you would have made a huge mistake!"

The Deaf Old Lady came out to hold the fort again!

She knew very well that Yi Zhonghai's negligence was fatal.

If it couldn't be handled well, it would definitely cause public outrage, and he could forget about being the First Uncle anymore!

"Ping'an, thank you!"

"If it weren't for your reminder, I would have made a fatal mistake due to negligence!"

Yi Zhonghai understood instantly.

"Yi Zhonghai, you don't need to apologize to me; you should apologize to everyone. You almost harmed the children in the courtyard!"

Wan Ping'an shook his head.

"Dear neighbors, I apologize to you all."

"It was all my lack of consideration!"

"Rest assured, I will definitely resolve the Pallas's cat issue properly..."

Yi Zhonghai promised solemnly.

"First Uncle, I'll just ask you one thing: who provoked the Pallas's cat?"

"Is the Pallas's cat really dangerous to our courtyard?"

Wan Ping'an pressed his advantage.

Yi Zhonghai clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into the flesh of his palms.

He hated Wan Ping'an to death.

How was he supposed to answer this question?

The Pallas's cat was provoked by Jia Zhang.

The Pallas's cat, to anyone other than the three of them, had so far posed no threat whatsoever.

"I just realized that you called this full courtyard meeting to solve only the personal problems of Jia Zhang and her son and yourself—the three of you."

Xu Fugui also opened fire.

The crowd nodded one after another.

For these four days, the only people the Pallas's cat had attacked were the three of them; it never attacked outsiders.

"Yi Zhonghai, even if people in the courtyard are attacked by the Pallas's cat, it is Jia Zhang and you three who are responsible, because the Pallas's cat was brought here by you."

He Great Qing added another blow.

"Right, if we are attacked, we will hold Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai responsible; they are the ones who brought it here."

"If they don't take responsibility, we will report them to the neighborhood office and go to the police station to report them."

"That's right, the three of them must be responsible to the end."

He Great Qing brought the rhythm up in one go.

Yi Zhonghai had not been the First Uncle for long, and having been repeatedly struck by Wan Ping'an, he hadn't established his prestige and couldn't suppress the crowd's discussion.

"I will give everyone an explanation!"

"Meeting adjourned!"

Yi Zhonghai really had no other way.

After speaking.

Yi Zhonghai turned and left.

"Why did he run?"

Xu Fugui asked loudly on purpose.

He Great Qing also mocked him.

Yi Zhonghai walked home quickly as if he hadn't heard.

The Deaf Old Lady, supported by the First Aunt, didn't go home but followed to Yi Zhonghai's house.

Boom!

As soon as he entered the door, Yi Zhonghai kicked a chair away.

Ouch!

It hurt!

The solid wood chair was heavy, thick, and hard; it would be strange if it didn't hurt!

"You're such a grown man, why are you still picking a fight with a chair?"

"Come, sit down. I'll talk to you about the situation. You've been hit hard by Wan Ping'an and are becoming less and less able to keep your cool. Can you realize that?"

The Deaf Old Lady reminded Yi Zhonghai.

Recently, Yi Zhonghai hadn't been in his right state of mind!

Yi Zhonghai was stunned on the spot.

Thinking about what the Deaf Old Lady said, he nodded slightly.

He also came back to his senses.

In the past, with the help of the Deaf Old Lady, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui were no match for him at all, and he easily took the position of First Uncle of the Sihe Academy.

He had become a bit arrogant.

Until Wan Ping'an rose up and dealt him repeated heavy blows, beating him into a daze!

"Have you figured it out?"

The Deaf Old Lady asked.

Yi Zhonghai nodded; he had figured it out and calmed down.

"It's good that you've figured it out."

"Wan Ping'an has become a force to be reckoned with. If you want to deal with him, unless you can catch his handle—it must be a fatal handle—otherwise, it will be a long-term struggle."

"Dealing with Wan Ping'an can't be rushed. Now let's talk about Jia Zhang."

"Your reputation has plummeted, your influence is not as good as before, and you can't even control the Sihe Academy."

"The culprit is Wan Ping'an, this is beyond doubt; secondly, it's Jia Zhang. She causes trouble, you take the blame. How long do you want to keep taking the blame?"

The Deaf Old Lady was very dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai.

The two were grasshoppers on the same rope; if Yi Zhonghai's days were hard, her days wouldn't be easy either.

If it weren't for the lack of a second candidate, she would have planned to abandon Yi Zhonghai.

"I..."

Yi Zhonghai smiled bitterly.

Did he think he wanted to take the blame?

He didn't!
