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

The sound silenced the entire courtyard for a second.

Immediately afterwards, all the men in the courtyard who were watching the commotion, whether they were the older Xu Fugui and Liu Haizhong or the younger generation like Sha Zhu and Yan Jiecheng, all instinctively tightened their legs and unconsciously reached out to protect themselves.

Xu Fugui and Yan Bugui, both elderly, couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths as they looked at Yi Zhonghai curled up on the ground like a shrimp scalded by boiling water. They felt a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

This...this is too ruthless!

Cheng Shuhai, that bastard, is truly ruthless! Cutting off someone's manhood is an act of utter hatred!

Xu Damao, standing in the crowd, stared wide-eyed at Cheng Shuhai. His eyes no longer held the schadenfreude he had shown before; instead, they held a hint of...admiration and excitement.

Wow! That's a great move! That's brilliant!

A scene of him fighting with Sha Zhu in the future flashed through his mind. What if he could do that...?

Xu Damao subconsciously looked at Shazhu not far away, his eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.

Sha Zhu was looking at Cheng Shuhai with admiration.

Although he was a fierce fighter, he only used straightforward fist and foot techniques. He had never seen such a vicious and insidious move that directly hit vital points.

If we did that when we beat up Xu Damao...

Sha Zhu also subconsciously looked at Xu Damao.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and they both saw a hint of... a knowing, mischievous smile in each other's eyes.

Xu Damao and Shazhu both shuddered and quickly looked away, cursing in their hearts: This bastard is definitely up to no good!

Cheng Shuhai, the instigator of all this, simply stared coldly at Yi Zhonghai, who was convulsing on the ground, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

He knew very well how much force he used in that backhand grab.

He didn't even need to send him to the hospital; he could tell that Yi Zhonghai's lower body was completely ruined.

In this lifetime, let alone having children, I'm afraid I won't even have the right to be a man.

Hypocrites deserve this fate.

"Old Yi! Old Yi! What's wrong? Don't scare me!"

Tan Zhaodi's cries broke the eerie atmosphere as she scrambled to Yi Zhonghai's side.

I wanted to help him up.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was howling in pain on the ground. He couldn't move, and he couldn't even let out a scream.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's face, which was contorted and swollen to a liver color from the excruciating pain, she panicked and could do nothing but cry out.

The Liu family father and son, who were not far away, were also dumbfounded.

Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi were alright; they were just shocked by Cheng Shuhai's ruthlessness.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's miserable state, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, the two younger brothers, felt a dull ache in their groins. Luckily, Sha Zhu had only kicked them down; if they had been hit like that... the two brothers turned pale with fright.

"Cheng Shuhai! You...you're trying to kill someone!"

Liu Haizhong struggled to his feet, pointed at Cheng Shuhai, his voice trembling.

He thought that at most, his instigation of Yi Zhonghai to cause trouble for Cheng Shuhai would result in a fight, but who would have thought that Cheng Shuhai would be so ruthless!

Cheng Shuhai didn't even bother to look at him, but stared down at Yi Zhonghai, his voice not loud, but clearly carried throughout the entire courtyard.

"Murder? Yi Zhonghai, what were you trying to do, lunging at me from behind?"

"Who knows if he was trying to strangle me? I was acting in self-defense!"

Cheng Shuhai spoke calmly and unhurriedly.

In one sentence, he silenced everyone who wanted to speak up.

That's right, everyone saw what happened just now clearly.

Yi Zhonghai was truly going all out, aiming every move at Cheng Shuhai's vital points.

Cheng Shuhai's counterattack, though ruthless, was based on reason.

"Yeah, Old Yi was really scary just now!"

"That's right, it felt like it was aimed at Cheng Shuhai's throat."

"If it were me, I would retaliate immediately."

..........

Everyone felt that Cheng Shuhai had not done anything wrong.

Just as chaos erupted in the yard, the sound of a cane being struck on the ground came from the direction of the backyard.

"Thump...thump...thump..."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the deaf old woman walking out step by step from the moon gate in the backyard.

They exchanged glances.

This is going to be interesting!

Everyone assumed that the deaf old lady had come out to help Yi Zhonghai.

The deaf old woman walked to the edge of the crowd and stopped.

Her cloudy eyes swept over everyone in the courtyard, finally settling on Cheng Shuhai.

"You bastard, Cheng Shuhai!"

"Such a young age, yet so cruel! To treat his neighbor so brutally!"

"If this old woman doesn't do something today, this yard is going to turn upside down!"

The deaf old woman spoke; her voice was hoarse, but full of energy.

As she spoke, she slammed her cane heavily on the ground, making a dull thud.

"Someone come here! Go and fetch the police and the military control commission! Tell them someone has died in courtyard number 95! Send that little bastard Cheng Shuhai to jail!"

The deaf old woman's voice echoed in the courtyard, carrying an unquestionable authority.

In her mind, once she spoke, everyone in the courtyard would have to listen to her.

When the police and military control commission arrive, even if Cheng Shuhai has three heads and six arms, he'll have to obediently submit to the law!

However, reality slapped her hard in the face.

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire courtyard fell silent.

No one moved.

Everyone stood still, as if they had been frozen in place. They looked at each other, but no one moved.

Some of the more timid ones even quietly took two steps back, afraid of being called out by the deaf old lady.

Are you kidding me?

Should we call the police?

Moreover, it's obvious that Yi Zhonghai struck first, and it was a sneak attack from behind. Cheng Shuhai is in the right!

What should I say when I get to the police station?

To say Cheng Shuhai hit someone? Well, you have to explain why he hit someone!

If you get involved again, you'll really be in deep trouble.

Everyone in the courtyard was perfectly aware of the situation, and they were all calculating their options.

Watching the excitement is fine, but getting yourself into trouble? Absolutely not!

The deaf old lady waited for a long time, but when she found that no one responded to her, her face immediately darkened.

These fence-sitters!

They're all so respectful to me normally, but when it really matters, they all turn into cowards!

The deaf old lady was furious!

At this point, Sha Zhu simply scratched his head, glanced at Cheng Shuhai beside him, and then said, "Grandma, this matter... Yi Zhonghai started it first. Brother Cheng acted in self-defense. Why call the police?"
