Courtyard House: Inheriting the Restaurant, the Jia Family Wants to Get It for Free

Tan Zhaodi was so frightened when she saw her husband beaten up like a pig's head that her legs went weak.

She knew that if she went to break up the fight, she would definitely get beaten up too.

She was so anxious that she paced back and forth, when suddenly she thought of something, gritted her teeth, turned around and ran out of the yard.

"I'll go call the military control commission! I'll go call the people from the military control commission!"

Tan Zhaodi said.

Cheng Shuhai heard this, but his hands didn't stop moving.

Call someone?

It's just right to call someone over!

I'm in the right from beginning to end about what happened today, so who am I afraid of?

He wanted to completely humiliate and frighten Yi Zhonghai, this hypocrite, in front of everyone!

This will ensure he never dares to play tricks on me again!

After punching Yi Zhonghai a few more times, Cheng Shuhai stopped when he saw that Yi Zhonghai was completely motionless and slumped on the ground.

He shook his slightly numb fist and spat.

"Pah! What is that?!"

He stood up and looked down at the two people on the ground: Yi Zhonghai, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, and a deaf old woman clutching her arm and groaning in pain.

The courtyard was deathly silent.

Everyone stared at Cheng Shuhai as if he were a monster, not daring to breathe.

Not long after, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

Tan Zhaodi rushed back with a female cadre in uniform and several police officers.

"He's the one who did the dirty work! He's the one who hit people!"

As soon as Tan Zhaodi entered the courtyard, she pointed at Cheng Shuhai and cried out.

The person who came was Bai, a colleague of Officer Wang who had previously handled disputes within the institute.

As soon as Bai entered the courtyard and saw the scene before him, his brows furrowed.

An old man and a middle-aged man were lying on the ground, both groaning and moaning.

A middle-aged man was beaten so badly that his face was unrecognizable, resembling a pig's head.

The man who assaulted the other, a young man named Cheng Shuhai, stood there perfectly fine, as if nothing had happened, without even a drop of sweat on his face.

She glanced around, then pointed to the deaf old woman on the ground, "You two, help the old woman up!"

Upon hearing this, the two police officers stepped forward and carefully helped the deaf old lady to a stool to the side.

Only then did Officer Bai walk up to Cheng Shuhai, his face stern, and ask seriously, "Cheng Shuhai, what happened? Why did you hit someone again? And so violently!"

She, an assistant, remembered Cheng Shuhai; the matter concerning Jia Zhangshi was handled by her colleague, Assistant Wang.

Yi Zhonghai was beaten so badly he was unrecognizable, his face bruised and swollen, with blood still trickling from the corner of his mouth; he looked terrifying.

Tan Zhaodi stood by, sobbing and pointing at Cheng Shuhai, accusing him, "Mr. Bai, you have to stand up for us! He... he hit people for no reason, and even pushed my old lady down! Look at how badly she's injured!"

She deliberately exaggerated the situation, hoping to get the military control commission to arrest Cheng Shuhai.

Cheng Shuhai remained completely calm in the face of Bai Ganshi's questioning and Tan Zhaodi's tearful complaints.

He calmly explained, "Bai Ganshi, I didn't hit anyone for no reason. It was him, Yi Zhonghai, who started by making underhanded moves behind my back, sowing discord, trying to get Liu Haizhong's family to cause trouble for me, and trying to use someone else to do my dirty work."

He pointed to Yi Zhonghai, then to the neighbors in the courtyard.

"Sun Dali just publicly denounced this in front of the entire hospital. Everyone heard it. You can ask them if you don't believe me."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ganshi glanced at the surrounding neighbors.

Although the neighbors didn't dare to nod openly, their shifty eyes and avoidance of eye contact said it all.

Bai Ganshi immediately understood.

It's that kind of scheming and intrigue between neighbors again.

Her impression of Yi Zhonghai suddenly became extremely negative.

People who lack ability themselves but incite others to their deaths deserve to be beaten.

but……

She glanced at the deaf old woman who was groaning in pain, frowned, and asked, "And what happened to that old woman? Did you hit her too?"

"I didn't!" Cheng Shuhai immediately denied. "I didn't even touch her. She rushed up to me and tried to take my side. When I dodged her, she lost her footing and fell."

"You're talking nonsense!"

The deaf old lady, who had been whimpering, immediately perked up upon hearing this.

She pointed at Cheng Shuhai, her voice trembling, "It was you! You're the one who pushed me! My arm... ouch... you must have pushed my arm! Bai Ganshi, you can't believe his lies! He's a little beast, ruthless and vicious! You have to arrest him! Lock him up in jail!"

The deaf old lady was determined to get Cheng Shuhai in today.

She refused to believe that she, an injured old woman, couldn't handle a young punk!

The neighbors in the courtyard felt a chill run down their spines when they heard this.

This old lady is really good at twisting the truth.

She clearly fell on her own, so how can she blame it on Cheng Shuhai?

If she gets clinging to him, Cheng Shuhai is really in trouble this time.

Sha Zhu was getting anxious; he had seen it all clearly.

"Grandma, you're talking nonsense!" he shouted. "My brother Cheng didn't touch you at all. You were the one who insisted on stopping him, and that's how you fell down!"

He Yushui also stepped forward timidly and said softly, "Yes, I saw it. The old lady fell by herself."

"You...you're all in cahoots with him! You can't believe a word you say!"

Yi Zhonghai covered his face, which was swollen like a pig's head, and roared indistinctly.

He glared fiercely at the others in the courtyard, his eyes filled with threat.

"What about you? You all saw it, right? Wasn't it him who pushed you?"

Yi Zhonghai then turned his gaze to the others.

The deaf old woman cast a threatening glance at anyone who dared to talk nonsense, saying she would smash their windows.

However, the neighbors in the courtyard all looked like gourds with their mouths sawed off, heads bowed, and no one dared to speak.

Help Yi Zhonghai? Offending Cheng Shuhai, will you have a good life afterward? Liu Haizhong is a prime example!

Help Cheng Shuhai? Wouldn't that be openly going against Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady? We'd be running into each other all the time, and it'd be troublesome.

It's better to avoid trouble; playing dumb is the safest option.

Bai Ganshi looked at this bizarre scene with perfect clarity.

She knew that it was impossible to get the truth out of her under these circumstances.

Her eyes lit up, and she had an idea.

"Alright, stop arguing!" she shouted sternly.

She pointed to the two policemen behind her, "You two, separate them, take them outside the courtyard, and question them one by one!"

"I'm telling you," Officer Bai's voice turned cold, carrying an undeniable authority, "this matter must be thoroughly investigated today! Anyone who dares to speak recklessly or give false testimony, don't blame me for taking them all back to the Military Control Commission for a good chat!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
