Siheyuan: Joined the Intelligence Department, my father is a national level

Chapter 363 The truth comes out

Yi Zhonghai thought to himself that if Li Youquan agreed to help, he would not only be able to make some money from it, but he could also take the opportunity to improve his status.

Even if Li Youquan refused, he could use the power of public opinion to portray Li Youquan as a cold-blooded and ruthless person, thereby restoring his damaged reputation.

Such a wishful thinking was so real that his heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Li Youquan stood there in silence for a long time. He had not expected that this sudden storm would be directed at him so mercilessly.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a slightly sarcastic smile, which concealed his helplessness towards the fickleness of the world and a faint expectation for the truth to be revealed.

His eyes were as sharp as torches, coldly fixed on Yi Zhonghai. It was an undisguised scrutiny, as if it could penetrate all of the other party's disguises and cover-ups.

Under this sharp gaze, Yi Zhonghai seemed increasingly uneasy, his eyes flickering, and he guiltily tried to avoid the direct eye contact, as if this would allow him to escape the impending blame.

Li Youquan felt an indescribable boredom and disappointment in his heart.

Looking back on the past, although they lived in the same courtyard and should have lived in harmony, he repeatedly chose to tolerate it, only because he took into account the feelings of neighbors and did not want to easily tear his face.

However, this unprincipled concession was met with endless harassment and provocation from the other party, which made him feel unprecedented fatigue and anger.

The rumors about Yi Zhonghai's actions flashed through his mind, and each sentence was like a sharp blade, cutting his already fragile trust.

Li Youquan's eyes became darker as a result, like the darkest ink in the night sky, hiding endless anger and determination.

He knew very well that the mistake made by Yi Zhonghai could not be covered up by a minor quarrel among neighbors. It was an evil act that was against the will of heaven and earth and was outrageous.

Under such circumstances, he could no longer remain silent, let alone provide any form of shelter or concealment for such a scum.

So, he made up his mind to reveal Yi Zhonghai's true face in front of everyone and leave him nowhere to hide.

He imagined the moment when Yi Zhonghai's hypocritical mask would be ruthlessly torn off, revealing his ugly true face.

He wanted to know, when all this happened in broad daylight, whether Yi Zhonghai still had the courage and guts to continue to be his enemy and continue his shameful deeds.

"How did your two families encounter that catastrophic fire? You know the cause and effect of this matter very well, but now you are trying to shift the blame to me. Will you not stop until I reveal the truth in front of everyone?"

Li Youquan's gaze was as cold as ice as he shot towards Yi Zhonghai, and his tone revealed his helplessness and determination as he had reached the limit of his endurance.

He deeply felt that he had given the other party enough tolerance and teachings, but all this seemed to have fallen on deaf ears, without causing the slightest ripple.

Not only did Yi Zhonghai show no remorse, but he became even more arrogant, as if he regarded his kindness as weakness.

As Li Youquan finished speaking, an expression of disbelief instantly appeared on Yi Zhonghai's face, and his eyes seemed to be saying.

"How could you possibly know?"

Yan Bugui, who was standing aside, was still at a loss at this moment.

He seemed a little overwhelmed by the sudden change. He stood there in a daze, his eyes wandering between Li Youquan and Yi Zhonghai, trying to find the answer from their expressions.

"Lao Yi."

Yan Bugui finally spoke, his voice trembling slightly.

"Is what Youquan just said true? Do you really know the truth about the fire?"

His tone was full of anticipation and anxiety. He hoped to get a negative answer from Yi Zhonghai to maintain a glimmer of hope in his heart.

However, even with Li Youquan's frankness, Yan Bugui still found it difficult to accept this cruel reality.

He was unwilling to give up the last glimmer of hope. He stared at Yi Zhonghai with a stubborn light in his eyes, eager to hear a different answer from her.

But Yi Zhonghai's reaction made him completely despair.

He avoided Yan Bugui's sight guiltily, and this action was undoubtedly the best confirmation of Li Youquan's statement.

Yan Bugui's heart sank to the bottom at that moment, and all his expectations and fantasies were shattered in an instant.

With anger and despair intertwined, Yan Bugui seemed to have lost his mind. He rushed towards Yi Zhonghai, tightly grasped his neck with both hands, his eyes were red, and his voice trembled with anger.

"Tell me, why? Why did you burn my house? What deep hatred do we have that deserves such cruelty?"

Every word he said seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with endless anger and confusion.

Yan Bugui looked like an enraged little beast at this moment. His anger and unwillingness not only froze the air in the courtyard, but also cast a layer of haze over the hearts of everyone present.

His eyes were filled with hatred towards Yi Zhonghai, that kind of deep-rooted hatred, as if he wanted to eat the other person alive, making everyone present feel a palpitation in their hearts.

Although everyone still had doubts about what Li Youquan had just said, facing the situation that was about to get out of control, reason told them that they must take action immediately.

So, everyone stepped forward and carefully separated Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai, fearing that a bigger conflict would be caused by accident.

Yan Bugui, who was forcibly separated, still could not calm her anger. His eyes full of hatred, like two sharp daggers, stared at Yi Zhonghai, as if he wanted to engrave every subtle movement of the other party into his heart as evidence for future revenge.

His expression was twisted and hideous, which made people think of those terrible scenes where people lost their minds due to hatred.

Seeing this scene, other people in the courtyard also felt a sense of uneasiness.

They knew very well that the grudge between the two people could not be resolved overnight, and at this moment, they were like two angry black-eyed chickens, who might pounce on each other again at any time, causing irreparable consequences.

As a result, everyone's attention turned to the instigator of this dispute - Li Youquan.

His every move and every word seemed to become the fuse of this storm.

At this moment, he seemed unusually calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

"Youquan, are the things you just said true?"

An elderly man finally couldn't help but ask.

His voice was full of fatigue and helplessness, and he obviously felt overwhelmed by this sudden dispute.

As soon as the old man finished speaking, others echoed him, hoping that Li Youquan could give a clear answer.
