Chapter 99

Yi Zhonghai saw the two patrol officers clearly, his brow relaxed. He looked provocatively at Wan Ping'an and turned to greet the two officers.

"Officer Liu, Officer Xiao Song, why is it you two?"

Yi Zhonghai greeted them with a smile.

Half a year ago,

under the organization of the neighborhood office, there was a police-civilian joint action.

He participated as the First Master of the Sihe Academy and met Officer Liu during that action; he had only met Officer Xiao Song later.

"Master Yi, hello!"

Officer Liu nodded with a smile.

"Officer Liu, Officer Xiao Song, I'm really sorry. There's a little misunderstanding in the courtyard, a small friction; it's actually nothing serious."

"We can mediate it ourselves and resolve it. It's just a small friction; no need to trouble you two."

Yi Zhonghai's idea was simple.

Wan Ping'an called the police, right?

He would just send the officers away.

Let's see what Wan Ping'an could do then.

Wan Ping'an frowned slightly, looking at the two officers. According to normal procedure, since they had come, they had to see the reporter of the case unless there were special circumstances.

"Master Yi, this doesn't follow procedure."

"We must see the reporter of the case. Only if the reporter withdraws the case can we leave."

Officer Liu shook his head.

"Officer Liu..."

Yi Zhonghai was a bit unhappy. Why didn't they give him any face?

He was the First Master of the Sihe Academy; even if he had been removed from his post, he once was.

He was also a level-six worker at the rolling mill and would definitely become a level-eight worker in the future.

"Alright, Master Yi, don't say any more."

Officer Liu's face sank.

He was over fifty and had quite a rich social experience.

He saw it at a glance: Yi Zhonghai was blocking them again and again. There must be something fishy!

"Fine!"

"I won't delay your handling of the case!"

Yi Zhonghai was annoyed in his heart.

But he didn't dare to get angry at the officers.

"Ping'an, you called the police; you tell them."

"You are a member of our Sihe Academy; in the past, now, and in the future, you will live in the Sihe Academy."

"If you alienate the neighbors and stand against them, it will definitely be very inconvenient. Be careful when you speak."

Yi Zhonghai warned Wan Ping'an.

His words carried a threat.

In the crowd,

Xu Fugui and Xu Damao stood together and curled their lips.

"Old dog Yi, you use threats quite smoothly."

"It's a pity you don't understand Wan Ping'an as well as I do."

"The more you threaten him, the more he will finish you off. He isn't afraid of you; you're going to be in trouble, and Deaf Old Lady is going to be in trouble too."

Xu Fugui was very triumphant.

He had always been at odds with Yi Zhonghai.

But Yi Zhonghai was the First Master and had Deaf Old Lady to scheme for him, keeping him suppressed. Now he had a chance to take revenge on Yi Zhonghai.

"Officer Liu, hello, I'm the one who reported the case."

"I want to accuse them of the restoration of big landlords and the big bourgeoisie, oppressing ordinary people, not giving me a way to live, and trying to force me to death."

Wan Ping'an came out with a heavy blow as soon as he opened his mouth!

Officer Liu was stunned. The young man was ruthless!

This charge was not light!

If the charge was confirmed, it would mean over twenty years of imprisonment, and there was a high possibility of facing a firing squad.

"Officer Liu, I suggest you arrest them and investigate!"

"They definitely have big problems!"

Wan Ping'an pointed at Deaf Old Lady, Yi Zhonghai, and the others.

Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhonghai's faces turned white instantly. They had just entered the new society and had just overthrown the big landlords and the big bourgeoisie.

They knew very well that once this label was pinned on them, they would be completely finished!

"Wan Ping'an, you're spouting nonsense."

"When did the Old Lady and the First Master become big landlords and the big bourgeoisie?"

"You dare to splash dirty water on them? See if I don't beat you to death!"

Shazhu's anger flared, and he waved his hand to slap Wan Ping'an.

Shazhu's biggest character flaw was impulsiveness.

When he was impulsive, he didn't even recognize his own family!

*Boom!*

Wan Ping'an didn't hold back either.

He raised his leg and kicked Shazhu away.

"It hurts so much..."

Shazhu clutched his stomach and fell to the ground.

"Wan Ping'an, you are presumptuous! How dare you hit someone in front of the officers?"

"Officer Liu, Officer Xiao Song, you saw it, right?"

"He doesn't even put the officers in his eyes; he dares to hit people right in front of you."

Yi Zhonghai pointed at Wan Ping'an and scolded.

*Slap!*

Wan Ping'an waved his hand and gave him a slap.

"Old dog, so many pairs of eyes saw it. Shazhu hit me first; I was just defending myself. Are you twisting black and white in front of the officers?"

Wan Ping'an pointed at Yi Zhonghai's nose and cursed.

"Quiet!"

"Master Yi, shut your mouth!"

"From now on, no one is allowed to take action. Whoever dares to take action again will be handcuffed and taken back."

Officer Liu had Officer Xiao Song take out the handcuffs.

"Comrade Wan Ping'an, you reported the case; tell us what happened."

Officer Liu asked Wan Ping'an to stand out.

"The process is very simple: Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhonghai didn't allow me to farm, and they didn't let me sell agricultural products."

"This is the restoration of big landlords and the big bourgeoisie!"

The matter was very simple.

Wan Ping'an explained it in one sentence.

Deaf Old Lady's face was a bit pale.

Yi Zhonghai was basically breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Not letting you farm?"

Officer Liu was a bit incredulous.

He looked at Deaf Old Lady, then at Yi Zhonghai.

"Second Master..."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong, wanting to drag him into the water.

"Officer Liu, I have something to say."

"I am the Second Master of the courtyard. I came back relatively late, and I don't know what happened before. I only heard them say they weren't allowed to farm."

"This has nothing to do with me; I didn't participate."

"I was just watching the excitement."

Liu Haizhong wasn't stupid.

Could he not understand Yi Zhonghai's plan?

Not to mention calling the police, even if the police hadn't been called, as long as it involved Wan Ping'an and was aimed at Wan Ping'an, he wouldn't participate.

Wan Ping'an was too powerful.

He had long been scared.

Unless,

he was offered enough benefits to offset his fear of Wan Ping'an!

Yi Zhonghai's face turned black instantly.

When did Liu Haizhong learn to be smart?

"Officer Liu, I have something to say too."

"I am the Third Master of the courtyard, Yan Fugui."

"Like Second Master Liu Haizhong, we were both just watching the excitement. This matter really has nothing to do with us!"

"You must investigate clearly!"

Compared to Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui was even more wary of Wan Ping'an.

He knew very well that

if he didn't state his position, Yi Zhonghai would definitely find a way to drag him into the water.

He really didn't want to offend Wan Ping'an!

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth.

Why had everyone betrayed him?

"And me, I have something to say too."

"We came to find Wan Ping'an because of my son Jia Dongxu's blind date; it has nothing to do with farming."

"We aren't big landlords, and we aren't the big bourgeoisie!"

"We have a blood feud with big landlords and the big bourgeoisie!"

Jia Zhangshi gave Yi Zhonghai a backstab.

"Right, I came to find Wan Ping'an because of my blind date; it has nothing to do with farming."

Jia Dongxu also quickly clarified his position.

In the fifties, even an illiterate person who didn't know a single character knew that being associated with big landlords and the big bourgeoisie meant being finished!

"We were just watching the excitement; it has nothing to do with us!"

The crowd cleared their relationship one after another.

Yi Zhonghai, Deaf Old Lady, and Shazhu had just been standing in the crowd.

Now,

the area around the three of them was cleared.

They were isolated by the people in the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai's nose was almost crooked with anger. They hadn't even been convicted, yet the people in the courtyard already thought they were guilty and wanted to draw a line with them!

The most infuriating thing was that he couldn't find his wife.

Where did she go?

Did she hide?

"Officer Liu, you must not believe Wan Ping'an's words."

"Yes, we didn't let him farm, and we didn't let him sell agricultural products, but we are absolutely not big landlords or the big bourgeoisie!"

"It's all Wan Ping'an's fault!"

"You don't know how hateful he is. He eats fish and meat every day; he can eat his fill of meat at almost every meal."

Yi Zhonghai was covered in cold sweat.

He had to make it clear.

Otherwise, he would be finished.

"Other families can't even eat their fill of chaff and vegetables, but he eats meat every meal. Isn't this sabotaging stability and unity?"

"We didn't let him farm because we were afraid he would affect the harmony of the Sihe Academy."

"I was considering the residents of the Sihe Academy wholeheartedly; I had no selfish motives, and I am definitely not a big landlord or the big bourgeoisie!"

Yi Zhonghai pushed some of the blame onto Wan Ping'an.

"Right, he eats fish and meat every day, while your family can't even eat your fill of corn buns. He is a bad element, sabotaging the peace in the Sihe Academy!"
