Courtyard House: Drunk and tipsy, the whole courtyard exposed at the start.

Tell the teacher?

NO NO NO!

However, of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best!

Zhang Dabiao tucked Yan Jiekuang under his arm and immediately slipped away!

Forget about saving face. At this point, it's not worth it for them to die or for me to die!

Zhang Dabiao, with Yan Jiekuang on his back, sped away!

Chen Ergou and his gang chased after them relentlessly, shouting as they went, "Zhang Dabiao, are you even a man?!"

"If you dare tell the teacher, I'll beat you up!"

"Stop running, you motherfucker! Come at us one-on-one if you dare!"

"Are you a guy or something—"

Zhang Dabiao really wanted to go back and smash his mouth shut; his insults were so foul!

But that's impossible!

My strength is now close to that of two pillars, at least 1.5 pillars! And I haven't had any systematic training. Last time, I broke Sha Zhu's arm in a fit of rage.

If we lose control and kill a few, what will we do then?

It's not worth it for a steamed bun, for God's sake! I'm not filming Kai's masterpiece "The Promise"!

You have to consider the situation before you lose your temper.

Finally, near Yu'er Hutong—

A group of people were cornered by the police!

------------

It turned out that Chen Guangliang, the director of Jiaodaokou Police Station, had come with Lao Mo and Xiao Li to talk to the victim Zhang Dabiao about the Jia family's affairs.

We just happened to run into it.

So, a group of kids were made to stand against the wall in the alley as punishment, each one standing obediently and properly.

The surrounding workers had all gone home for the day, and I couldn't help but glance at them a few more times as I passed by.

"Hey, isn't this so-and-so's little Liu? What's wrong, got into trouble?"

"Third son of the Pei family, aren't you going home? Did you go to get into another fight? Did you win or lose? Should I tell your dad? You're welcome, it's on my way."

"..."

The children were so embarrassed!

This is incredibly embarrassing and shameful!

Of course, Zhang Dabiao is the victim and doesn't need to be punished by standing there.

Director Chen was also worried when he looked at these children.

"Da Biao, what's wrong with you now?"

Zhang Dabiao briefly explained the situation, and Director Chen understood immediately.

His face darkened, so he picked two or three children and took them home to call their parents. The parents would come and take them away, otherwise the police would come knocking.

Of course, Chen Ergou is the main culprit, so he has to stay here and stand obediently as punishment.

Chen Ergou really wants to die right now!

Originally, I could have just paid 5 yuan tomorrow and that would have been the end of it. If I had been careful, I wouldn't have even needed to notify my parents.

But he was knocked unconscious by a slap and was not convinced of his defeat, so he led his gang to ambush Zhang Dabiao after school, thinking he could regain his face. However, he was instead stopped by the police.

And they'll have to call the parents to pick them up...

That would be the end of us!

It seems that Zhang Dabiao has a good relationship with the police.

This is just a scam! If you knew the police, why didn't you say so earlier?

Why didn't you say so sooner?

"Zhang Dabiao, you have no sportsmanship! If you're so tough, let's fight one-on-one!"

He felt so wronged he wanted to cry!

Zhang Dabiao was so angry he laughed: "I have no sense of martial ethics, you want to fight me one-on-one?"

"You've brought so many people and you want to fight me one-on-one?"

"They...they're just watching, they're not going to do anything..."

Chen Ergou argued, "But that pile of chains, bricks, and wooden sticks on the ground..."

Who would believe they won't take action?

"You're not convinced, are you? Fine, I'll have Director Chen explain things to you."

Zhang Dabiao had no choice but to pull Chief Chen aside and ask, "Chief Chen, so many of them were beating me, and I fought back. Wasn't that self-defense?"

Director Chen glanced at Zhang Dabiao's figure, then at the group of young children, and nodded: "Yes."

Zhang Dabiao continued, "What if I accidentally kill a few people? Would that still be considered self-defense?"

Chief Chen glanced again at the various weapons on the ground, nodded, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Yes, sir!"

Let alone Zhang Dabiao, if he were attacked by a group of children, the outcome would be uncertain. Of course, his own safety must be the priority.

Chen Ergou scoffed, "You, you idiot Biao, want to kill us? You don't even have the ability..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Dabiao pulled a utility knife out of his pocket.

Unlike the folding pencil sharpeners used by other students, Zhang Dabiao's was a small, silver-gray utility knife commonly used in later generations. The blade could be broken if it got worn out, and it was incredibly sharp!

Zhang Dabiao pushed out the blade; the clicking sound and the dark luster clearly indicated that it was of superior quality!

It sends chills down your spine just looking at it!

"If I were being attacked, and in self-defense, to ensure my own safety, I pulled out a knife and stabbed several people to death, wouldn't I be innocent?"

Director Chen immediately nodded: "Innocent, but, Da Biao, why are you carrying this thing with you?"

"I have an art class this afternoon... drawing class, is it reasonable for me to bring a craft knife?"

"Are there really art classes?"

The other children nodded enthusiastically, confirming that there was indeed a drawing class.

"Of course, you see."

Zhang Dabiao took out several pencils that had been sharpened to an extremely sharp point from his schoolbag. As everyone knows, sharpening pencils to a point like a concealed weapon is an instinct for art students when they are bored.

"Even if I don't use a knife, it's perfectly reasonable for me to sharpen a few pencils during art class, right? Using those pencils to stab a few people to death would be self-defense, wouldn't it?"

"Calculate……"

"..." All the children fell silent, some of them with trembling legs.

But Zhang Dabiao wasn't finished yet. He took out a 30-centimeter-long steel ruler from his schoolbag, picked up a thick tree branch from the ground, and chopped it with the steel ruler...

They just cut that thick branch off?!

Zhang Dabiao's strength is too great!

"Even if I don't use pencils, it's perfectly reasonable for me to bring a ruler to art class, right? If I use a steel ruler to whittle them down, killing a few of them would be considered self-defense, wouldn't it?"

"Calculate……"

"And..." Zhang Dabiao was about to grab a compass and other small gadgets when Director Chen stopped him.

"Da Biao, stop, stop..."

"Why are you carrying so many weapons in your backpack? Do you even need all these tools for your art class?"

"I love drawing! I'm passionate about art! I aspire to be a painter! I want to get into art school!"

"What's wrong? Are kids not allowed to have dreams?"

"..."

Okay, Director Chen is convinced. Who doesn't have hobbies or dreams?

But Chen Ergou remained defiant: "You, you're only doing this because you have weapons!"

"You, Zhang Dabiao, won unfairly!"

Zhang Dabiao rolled his eyes. Fine, I'll let you give up completely.

He picked up a few bricks from the ground, arranged them at an angle, and then delivered a powerful slap—

—Click—

The brick immediately broke into two pieces.

The bricks were all brought by these little radishes themselves; there's no way they could fake them.

Suddenly, everyone fell silent.

Actually, there was a small pebble between the two bricks. It took skill to break the bricks, and Zhang Dabiao was very strong, so to outsiders, it looked like he easily broke the bricks!

This guy is a master!

Yan Jiekuang watched with his eyes shining!

[Brother Biao is awesome!]

Looking at the trembling elementary school students, Zhang Dabiao shook his head and said to Director Chen, "Director Chen, let's go inside and talk."

Chief Chen sighed as he looked at the group of young lads. Zhang Dabiao's meaning was clear: if he wanted to, he could kill these rascals in a matter of minutes under a legitimate pretext, but he held back and didn't cause trouble for the police station.

Even at this point, Chen Ergou was still being stubborn.

Even if Zhang Dabiao were to slap you bare-handed, his jawbone would be shattered!

They ran away because they were afraid of slapping you to death; they were basically letting you off the hook. You really have no sense of propriety at all.

He shook his head and said, "Old Mo, Little Li, when the parents arrive, explain the situation clearly before releasing them. Tell them to go back and give them a good talking-to."

"How can they be so young and already committing crimes in a gang with such lawlessness?"

"Eighty-word self-criticisms per person, to be sent to the police station tomorrow."

Then, she accompanied Zhang Dabiao into the courtyard house.

These kids outside haven't caused any real damage or harm yet; a little education will suffice.

The real focus is on how to deal with the Jia family grandfather and grandson in courtyard number 95.
