Those who had just been speaking up for him were now cursing Xiao Jinyan as a beast in human form, worse than an animal.
They all surrounded Xiao Jinyan, pointing at his nose and his back and cursing him, but no one dared to step forward.
Xiao Jinyan was far too calm, as if these events had nothing to do with him, and he was merely there to watch the show. In fact, he was even calmer than the other spectators.
Yi watched this lively drama unfold with a cold eye. She had struggled in the Savage Village for three long years and knew a little about its affairs.
During the three years she was there, every now and then a group of mysterious people would come, capture villagers, and inject them with an unknown drug. Or they would draw blood from their bodies for testing.
Yi Yi had been captured many times, and her body had been injected with the same drugs. Sometimes her heart would ache so badly that it almost took half her life, and this was also caused by the drugs.
From the moment Yi Yi first arrived at the Savage Village and witnessed its cruelty and bloodshed, to the many experiences she went through later, she realized that the Savage Village's troubles were not a natural disaster, but rather a result of violence.
Xiao Shenxing's account closely matched the actual situation in the Savage Village. However, Xiao Shenxing also claimed that Xiao Jinyan had orchestrated everything. He even produced a large amount of so-called evidence, all pointing to Xiao Jinyan and seemingly without any flaws.
But she felt something was off. She couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Xiao Jinyan, is what Shen'er said true?! You wretched child, as the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, how could you do such a disgraceful thing to the family! Your father only disobeyed me to my face, but you, you are so utterly heartless. I should never have raised you! You...you..."
The old man was so angry that he clutched his chest, barely able to catch his breath.
"Be careful, old man. Don't get agitated. It's not worth ruining your health if you get too excited."
"That's right, old man, it's not worth it for such unworthy descendants!"
As Xiao Qingxue stepped forward and patted the old man's chest to help him catch his breath, she said, "Grandpa, please don't be angry. Brother Jinyan... I believe Brother Jinyan isn't like that. Someone is framing him. We can't just listen to Second Brother's side of the story; we need to hear what Brother Jinyan has to say too."
“He said, what else could he say! The facts are right in front of us, all this evidence is against this wretched child! I don’t have such an unfilial descendant, and my Xiao family has no such offspring!”
"Grandpa," Xiao Jinyan, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't help but speak, his expression revealing that he had been holding back all along.
In fact, he could ignore Xiao Shenxing's treatment of him, but what he could not tolerate was that the old man would criticize him based on just a few words from Xiao Shenxing.
He had thought that the old man simply disliked him, but at least trusted his character. It turned out the old man didn't trust him at all.
Xiao Jinyan was somewhat resentful, his chest heaving violently, his face almost ashen.
"I don't care, I'd rather be a descendant of the Xiao family!"
All because of the old man's words, "I have no unfilial descendant like him, and my Xiao family has no descendants like him!"
"You—" The old man was equally furious. He took a few steps to Xiao Jinyan and slapped him hard across the face!
