Chapter 354

Making Xu Damao pay compensation was a bit unreasonable; after all, it was Jia Zhangshi’s fault, and Xu Damao was the victim. How could the victim be made to pay?

Yi Zhonghai smiled.

He had blocked Liu Haizhong!

Being stumped was for the best!

If Liu Haizhong couldn't handle this well, his prestige would suffer. Once his prestige dropped to a certain level, even if he were the First Master, no one would listen to him.

"Liu Haizhong is not fit to be the First Master!"

Wan Ping'an sighed in his heart.

He lacked talent and was also devoid of decisiveness!

"Why is everyone gathered here?"

"Let me through to take a look!"

The Deaf Old Lady arrived on the scene.

Wan Ping'an frowned slightly.

He considered a possibility: was this a setup?

If Yi Zhonghai wanted to be the First Master again, he had to take Liu Haizhong down first, setting a trap to let the neighborhood office know that Liu Haizhong was unfit for the role.

It was very likely!

Jia Zhangshi was someone who only cared about money.

As long as she was given some money, she would do anything, let alone perform a role that came naturally to her.

"Who can tell me what happened?"

The Deaf Old Lady inquired.

"I'll tell you!"

Yi Zhonghai briefly explained the situation, naturally favoring Jia Zhangshi.

"Liu Haizhong, you aren't fit to be the First Master. How can you not even handle such a small matter?"

The Deaf Old Lady criticized Liu Haizhong directly.

Liu Haizhong’s expression was very ugly.

"Xu Damao, you are also in the wrong."

"The Jia family is just a pair of orphans and a widow, and Jia Zhangshi is your elder. Can't you compensate her a little less money?"

"I’ll make the call: you compensate her one yuan."

The Deaf Old Lady passed judgment.

"No, one yuan is too little. I want..."

Before Xu Damao could object.

Jia Zhangshi objected first.

"Zhang girl, are you looking for a beating?"

"One yuan, just one yuan!"

"Xu Damao, pay the money, and everyone disperse. There’s nothing left to see."

The Deaf Old Lady dispersed the onlookers.

Xu Damao had no choice but to take out one yuan and give it to Jia Zhangshi.

Wan Ping'an had just returned home.

Xu Damao followed him.

"Brother Ping'an, you were there just now, you saw it all. I was so wronged; I’m the victim, yet I still had to give Jia Zhangshi one yuan."

"Please help me think of a way to let me vent this anger. I really can't swallow this!"

Xu Damao pleaded.

Only Wan Ping'an could stand up to the Deaf Old Lady and Jia Zhangshi!

"Are you prepared to fall out with Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Lady?"

Wan Ping'an sneered.

The next evening.

After work hours.

Director Wang from the neighborhood office arrived to hold a full-courtyard meeting.

"Jia Zhangshi, Xu Damao, you two come out."

"At this time yesterday, an incident occurred between you two. I’ll ask once: who knocked whom down?"

"Who is the victim?"

Director Wang inquired.

"I am the victim, I am the one who was knocked down!"

"Jia Zhangshi, I’m warning you, there were many people watching when you knocked me down. If you dare to lie, your lies will be exposed immediately."

Xu Damao stood out triumphantly.

This was the idea Wan Ping'an had given him: to go to Director Wang for a ruling.

"Director Wang, let me say a few words."

"Jia Zhangshi is Xu Damao’s elder. Regardless of right or wrong, from the perspective of respecting the elderly..."

Yi Zhonghai saw that the case was about to be overturned; how could he allow that?

"Yi Zhonghai, shut up."

"Whoever I ask answers. Those I don't ask, keep quiet and listen. I will give you time to speak."

Director Wang was very annoyed.

Yi Zhonghai was like a lingering ghost.

When he was the First Master, he had turned the Sihe Academy into a mess.

Even after being removed, he was still causing trouble.

Director Wang was extremely annoyed; neither Liu Haizhong nor Yan Fugui had the ability to counter the combination of Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Lady.

Whether the First Master of the Sihe Academy was Yi Zhonghai or not made little difference; they would all be ruined by Yi Zhonghai!

He wanted to find someone capable, someone who could suppress Yi Zhonghai, to replace Liu Haizhong as the First Master of the Sihe Academy!

"Jia Zhangshi, Xu Damao has finished speaking, it’s your turn. Who knocked whom down?"

Director Wang stared at Jia Zhangshi.

"Oh, my head hurts. I’m old, my memory is a bit poor. I’ve forgotten what happened yesterday."

Jia Zhangshi also had a bit of petty cunning.

Wasn't it just asking her to answer?

She simply forgot.

Director Wang was almost so angry he wanted to curse. How old was Jia Zhangshi?

Not even fifty!

She didn't look sick, so how could her memory be failing?

"Liu Guangtian, you were an eyewitness on the scene yesterday. Tell me, who knocked whom down?"

Director Wang called him out by name.

"Uh, this..."

Liu Guangtian was a bit afraid to speak; Jia Zhangshi was not someone to be trifled with.

Director Wang glanced at Liu Haizhong, very dissatisfied.

"You little brat, Director Wang is asking you a question, why don't you speak up quickly?"

Liu Haizhong glared at Liu Guangtian.

Liu Guangtian shuddered in fear.

Liu Haizhong only treated Liu Guangqi as his own son; as for the others, it was as if they were picked up off the street. He would beat them at will, and when he did, he would strike with lethal force!

"It was Jia Zhangshi who knocked down Xu Damao."

Liu Guangtian said.

Director Wang called on two more people, Yan Jiecheng and Little Niuniu, and both said Jia Zhangshi had knocked down Xu Damao.

"Jia Zhangshi, do you have anything else to say?"
