Chapter 444: Mr. Yi Dumbfounded
Nanluoguxiang Lane
Sihe Academy
To become First Grand-Uncle, Liu Haizhong threw himself into it with all his might.
Cao Cao Weiguo, Xu Xu Damao, Chi Ping'an, and Lu Jin Peng assisted from the side.
Whatever manpower, material, or money was needed, they gave full support.
It didn't take long before they gathered signatures from over a dozen households.
After all, most of those beasts were selfish through and through.
A tiny bit of benefit was enough to make them switch sides.
A few eggs, and they happily Pressed a Fingerprint.
The masses, represented by Liu Haizhong, made their way to the sub-district office.
They produced a joint letter bearing several dozen Fingerprints.
This stunned the sub-district office's Director Wang on the spot.
She had never expected such a scandalous incident to occur in her jurisdiction.
This matter absolutely could not be allowed to blow up!
Otherwise, her own hat would be gone for good.
To protect her own hat, Director Wang hurriedly soothed Liu Haizhong.
Then, filled with righteous indignation, she led her people straight to Sihe Academy.
At that moment, Yi Yi Zhonghai had also caught wind of something.
But those who had taken the benefits kept their mouths fairly tight, also fearing retaliation from Yi Yi Zhonghai.
So the rumors were pitifully scarce, leaving Yi Yi Zhonghai unable to make head or tail of it.
Just as Yi Yi Zhonghai was feeling uneasy, Director Wang arrived at the courtyard, bristling with fury.
Yi Yi Zhonghai sensed something was wrong, but still hadn't realized how serious the matter was.
Before he could open his mouth to ask, Director Wang flew into a rage and began berating him:
"Yi Yi Zhonghai! Is this how you serve as Managing Grand-Uncle?!"
"Forming little cliques in the courtyard, covering things up, blackmailing and extorting, twisting black and white, indulging evil and bullying the good..."
"Using the Deaf Old Lady to peddle feudal leftovers!"
"And you still dare call her some Laozu Sect!"
"You are utterly brazen!"
Yi Yi Zhonghai was scolded dumb on the spot, still not knowing what had happened.
Today happened to be a Sunday, and most of the residents were in the courtyard.
Hearing the commotion, they came running out one after another, eyes gleaming.
Living here is just wonderful!
Every few days there's some excitement to watch!
Although everything Director Wang said was true, Yi Yi Zhonghai still wanted to defend himself:
"Director Wang, there must be some Shenmewu Society!"
"I've been wronged…"
"You needn't say more!"
"The eyes of the masses are sharp as snow!"
"Right and wrong, black and white — we will investigate it crystal clear!"
"We won't wrong a good person, and we certainly won't wrong a bad one!"
Director Wang, along with comrades from the sub-district office, began large-scale inquiries.
They verified the situation with the residents of the courtyard.
Most of these residents had signed and Pressed a Fingerprint.
