The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 1382

The two girls glanced at each other before shaking their heads.

They could not believe Sean could handle Bingley, a big shot in the government.

“So you hit them?”

Seeing that May was silent, Bingley confirmed for the last time.

At a loss, May kept fidgeting with her clothes.

Sean slowly stepped forward to take over the conversation.

“Yes, I did it.”

Just as Sean was about to speak, May looked up suddenly and took all the responsibility.

Just as she did when Sean was little, May still tried her best to protect them.

“You did?”

Bingley shook his head slightly. He did not believe it, of course.

“Talk to me if you need anything.”

Sean slowly stepped forward and shielded May.

May tried to say something, but Sean stopped her with a wave.

He was an adult now, and May did not have to risk her life and stand in front of them as she used to.

“And who are you?”

Bingley glanced at Sean and asked indifferently.

Sean knew he was asking what he already knew the answers to.

Ken must have pulled strings at home to bring Bingley here.

Otherwise, would things have proceeded so fast?

“Cut the crap.

“What are you doing here?”

Sean and Bingley looked at each other without any nervousness.

Bingley touched the tip of his nose, somewhat surprised that Sean would be so calm.

“We’re here to investigate and collect evidence.

“We’ll take the attacker into custody according to the law.

“If the orphanage broke the law, we will penalize it according to the law.”

Bingley said, looking at Sean with a straight face.

It was hard to find fault with what he said.

If it were May, she would be speechless at this point and could only accept it.

However, Bingley ran into Sean today.

“I like to be reasonable.

“What right do you have to penalize the orphanage?”

Sean asked indifferently, looking at Bingley.

“The local government has the power and the obligation to monitor everything in our district.

“Including welfare institutions.”

Bingley frowned in a slightly impatient tone.

“Welfare institutions are also divided into public and private.

“Public institutions have special funds from the higher–ups for special purposes.

“But this is a private institution that uses its own money. We’ve never received a dime from you.

“What right have you to come here and exercise your so–called right?”

Sean’s speech was forceful.

Bingley’s face was grim, and he could not find anything appropriate to reply.

More than a dozen of his entourage staff also blushed slightly and fell silent.

Some things were more complicated. You could not explain it in a few words.

They had the right.

However, strictly speaking, a private welfare institution isn’t the same as one run by the government.

It was like public schools and private schools.

No tuition fees were charged for nine–year compulsory education in public schools.

However, private schools could cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars a semester.

Therefore, the two different natures of public and private institutions were different after all.

“I don’t want to talk much to you.

“Don’t talk to me about laws. I know better than you do.

“I act according to laws and regulations. If you don’t cooperate, it’s a bigger crime.”

Bingley was silent for a few seconds before snorting coldly and saying to Sean.

“Are you threatening me?”

Sean frowned slightly. He found Bingley somewhat ignorant.

“Forget whether I’m threatening you.

“As the head of the district, I want to inspect everything you have here.

“Are you going to let me or not? Or are you trying to get in the way?”

Bingley accused Sean.

“Yes, go on. Check it out!”

Before Sean could speak, May hurried forward and said to Bingley as she held out her hand to stop

Sean.

“Hmph! Let’s go!”

Bingley snorted coldly and went inside with his men.

“Seanie, let’s avoid trouble whenever possible. Let them check.”

May persuaded with a sigh.

Sean frowned slightly but put up with it for now after all.

“What is this?”

Bingley soon came back with his men.

He also had several smartwatches in his hands.

“Where did you get such expensive stuff?”

Bingley frowned and asked May.

“They were donated.”

May explained immediately.

“Do you have a billing record for accepting donations?”

There was something demanding in Bingley’s gaze.

Sean knew by now that Bingley and Ken were the same.

It was clear that this was a personal vendetta.

In that case, Sean was not going to be nice to him anymore.

“I bought them. Is there a problem?”

Sean stepped forward again and took over the conversation.

“Of course.

“You work here. Did you buy them?

“Your orphanage has broken many rules, and your kitchen hygiene isn’t up to standard.

“So I will now penalize you according to the law. We will take care of the children.”

Bingley waved his hand, and five or six young men with seals in their hands immediately came over.

“No! No, we don’t want to leave Aunt May!”

The children widened their eyes in shock and shouted.

“You’re shutting down the place?

“I dare you.”

Sean could not suppress the chill in his heart any longer at this point.

Bingley made it clear that he was there to cause trouble, and he could find it no matter how May

cooperated.

“Are you threatening me?”

Bingley looked at Sean with a slight frown.

“I will only say it once.

“This place is under my protection, I, Sean Lennon.

“I’ll kill anyone who lays a finger on it.”

Sean slowly pointed to the ground, his tone cold.

There was a moment of silence.
