The crowd gave him a way out.

The important person had such a strong aura, and with the people protecting him around, even a three-year-old would know that the person was definitely not ordinary.

Don't mess with it!

Can't afford it!

The important person arrived at the front of the crowd.

Yi Zhonghai had just gotten up from the ground, his face bruised and swollen, and his whole body aching. He had been beaten so badly by Wan Ping'an that his drunkenness had long since vanished.

Yi Zhonghai also saw the important figures.

His eyes lit up and he had an idea.

"Boss, you absolutely must stand up for me..."

Yi Zhonghai burst into tears.

He didn't intend to cry; he just wanted to act pitiful.

But thinking about how she lost her position as an elder since the conflict with Wan Ping'an and was forced to leave the meeting, she felt very wronged and couldn't hold back her tears.

Bang!

Before he could reach the important figure, a middle-aged man rushed up from the side, kicked Yi Zhonghai away, and locked onto him warily.

Wan Ping'an almost burst out laughing.

Yi Zhonghai was too reckless.

What if he pounces on you with malicious intent?

Those responsible for protecting important figures would certainly not allow him to approach rashly. Even if he did approach, they would first verify his identity and confirm that he was not armed.

"What do you want to say?"

The important person asked calmly.

"Boss, you must stand up for me."

"That little beast Wan Ping'an, he's a complete violent maniac! Look what he did to me!"

"He is also a selfish person who does not know how to share at all. He does not respect the elderly and sent a deaf old lady to jail."

"..."

Yi Zhonghai launched a scathing attack.

According to him, Wan Ping'an was utterly wicked, and executing him would be too lenient; not executing him for even ten minutes would be a disservice to his crimes.

"Yi Zhonghai, you may not be very good at anything else, but you are exceptionally good at twisting the truth."

"I'm asking you, why did I hit you?"

"Aren't you here to provoke me?"

Wan Ping'an sneered.

He will not allow anyone to smear him.

"Besides, it's selfish. Why should I share my things? I'd like to ask you, why don't you share your salary with the people in the hospital?"

"Besides, even if I wanted to put the deaf old lady in jail, if she hadn't committed a crime, would I have the ability to do so?"

Wan Ping'an's series of questions left Yi Zhonghai bewildered.

Wan Ping'an hit him because he provoked him first. Many people saw it when he made the first move, and that cannot be denied.

Why should he share his salary with the people in the hospital?

Absolutely not!

He actually knew very well about the deaf old lady's situation, but he just couldn't say it out loud.

"Young man, please come here."

The important figure listened without commenting, glanced around, and smiled slightly at Xu Damao.

"Boss, did you call me?"

Xu Damao was flattered.

He could certainly tell that the important person was no ordinary person; he was definitely higher-ranking than the director of the steel rolling mill.

"Yes, which of them is lying?"

The important person asked directly.

"Of course Yi Zhonghai is lying!"

Xu Damao did not hesitate.

The important figure nodded slightly.

He looked around and found a kind-hearted young man. By sheer coincidence, the young man he chose was Sun Tiezhu, who had a close relationship with Wan Ping'an.

"Young man, which of them is telling the truth?"

The important person asked kindly.

"Of course, it's Wan Ping'an!"

Sun Tiezhu did not hesitate.

The important figure nodded slightly again.

Turning her head, she looked at Yi Zhonghai indifferently. Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat, which soaked his clothes.

"I don't agree!"

"The two people you asked about, one is on good terms with Wan Ping'an, and the other helps him with his work. Of course, they will both speak up for Wan Ping'an."

Yi Zhonghai protested through gritted teeth.

The powerful aura of the big shot made Yi Zhonghai feel a little suffocated.

"Okay, I'll ask again."

"Little friend, how old are you this year?"

The important man smiled, squatted down, took out two pieces of candy from his pocket, and waved to a three- or four-year-old boy.

The little boy looked back at his parents.

His parents nodded.

The little boy approached the important person and took the candy from the person's hand: "I'm three and a half years old. My mom says I'll be four next year!"

"Then tell Grandpa, which of the two of them lied just now?"

The important man asked with a smile.

Children this young generally don't lie.

Of course.

Their communication skills are definitely somewhat lacking.

"It was him. He was drunk and came over to beat people up."

“He even forced Uncle Wan to share his things with them. When Uncle Wan gave me some to him, he wouldn’t let Uncle Wan farm anymore. He’s a bad guy.”

The child pointed at Yi Zhonghai.

Most of the children in the courtyard like Wan Ping'an very much.

Wan Ping'an bought things three times: tomatoes, pumpkins, and watermelons. The first thing he did when he brought them back was to let his neighbors try them.

Of course.

They won't give much.

They didn't even give any to the beasts.

When selling watermelons, he would often cut open a large watermelon and give a slice to each of the children in the yard to satisfy their cravings.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale instantly.

"I'm innocent! I just wanted Wan Ping'an to learn to share. He eats alone..."

Yi Zhonghai's expression changed drastically.

He never expected that such an important person would ask a child such a question.

"Take him away and investigate him thoroughly!"

The important person spoke lightly.

Two men came out, grabbed Yi Zhonghai, and took him away.

The older woman tried to plead for them, but they completely ignored her.

"Xiao Wan, hello. I came here specifically to see you. Let's go inside and talk!"

The important figure walked towards Wan Ping'an with a smile.

"Please come in!"
