The fighting continued, but one dog died and another was crippled.

After shaking off the two dogs, Chen Yongqiang immediately rushed towards Boss Jin, ready to capture the leader first.

Jin, the boss, was charging forward, brandishing a wooden stick and cursing under his breath, completely unaware of the danger approaching.

Chen Yongqiang pushed through the chaotic crowd; someone tried to stop him, but he kicked them away.

Someone came wielding a hoe, and he dodged to the side, then elbowed the man in the ribs with his backhand. The man groaned and squatted down.

Just as Boss Jin turned around, Chen Yongqiang was already in front of him.

"you…"

Before Boss Jin could utter a single word, Chen Yongqiang's fist had already slammed into his abdomen.

Chen Yongqiang seized the opportunity to grab his collar and thrust his knee upwards, hitting him squarely in the chest.

Jin Laoda screamed, but Chen Yongqiang didn't let him fall to the ground. He grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back, while his other hand was already choking him.

"Stop it, all of you!"

With a loud shout, Chen Yongqiang grabbed Boss Jin by the neck and lifted him into the air.

Jin Laoda's face turned red, and he tried to pry Chen Yongqiang's fingers apart with both hands, but he couldn't.

Seeing that Boss Jin had been subdued, the fighting crowd tried to rush over to rescue him.

"Tell your men to put down their weapons. Otherwise, I'll strangle him." Chen Yongqiang increased the pressure on his hand.

Jin Laoda made gurgling sounds in his throat and nodded frantically.

The people of Jinjiatun looked at each other, and some put down their hoes first, followed by their carrying poles... which clattered and fell to the ground.

Some of the disheveled police officers got up from the ground and found their glasses at the feet of the chaotic crowd.

One of the lenses was cracked, but he didn't bother to wipe it and quickly put it on, which made his vision clearer.

But they just happened to see Chen Yongqiang choking Boss Jin by the neck. Boss Jin's face was turning purple and his tongue was almost sticking out.

"Brother Yongqiang, put him down! Don't let someone die!" Xiao Zhou rushed forward and grabbed Chen Yongqiang's arm.

Chen Yongqiang loosened his grip, and Boss Jin took the opportunity to catch his breath.

"He brought people to cause trouble and injured our village chief. How should this be settled?"

Xiao Zhou pleaded, "I know you're angry, but this person really can't die in your hands. Hand him over to me, and I'll handle whatever I need to do with him, okay?"

Chen Yongqiang stared at him for a few seconds, then loosened his grip a little.

Jin Laoda's legs went weak and he slid down the slope. Xiao Zhou stepped forward to support him and handcuffed him.

Today, Boss Jin led the fight, so naturally he has to be handcuffed.

After handcuffing the man, Xiao Zhou quickly turned to the group from Jinjiatun: "Back off! Back off! Anyone who lays a hand on us again will be handcuffed and taken back to the hotel tonight!"

The people of Jinjiatun were terrified by Chen Yongqiang's attacks, but they refused to leave.

Someone helped up their wounded companion, saying, "If you release our men, we will naturally retreat."

"Okay, the person is inside the village office. You can go in and release them yourselves." Chen Yongqiang gestured to the people of Shimen Village to make way.

The crowd that had been blocking the village entrance parted to the sides, revealing the road leading into the village.

Yang Dahai, clutching his bleeding forehead, immediately understood Chen Yongqiang's meaning: "Let them in."

The people of Jinjiatun exchanged glances, and no one dared to make a move.

Go in? What if the people from Shimen Village block our way from the front and back halfway? That would be like catching turtles in a jar; none of them could escape.

"Comrade Zhou, take the people inside first, and let's see who dares to cause trouble again." Chen Yongqiang had already calmed the situation down.

Xiao Zhou gave Boss Jin a push: "Let's go."

Jin, handcuffed, staggered a couple of steps and looked back at his family.

The group of people from Jinjiatun stood still; some wanted to make a move, but ultimately didn't dare.

Yang Dahai immediately arranged for someone to lead Xiao Zhou into the village.

Chen Yongqiang stood still, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the people in Jinjiatun.

"Who else wants to go in?"

The people of Jinjiatun looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward or retreat, and the situation remained deadlocked.

Chen Yongqiang led the villagers from the brick kiln and construction site to guard the village entrance.

The eldest Jin, who led the riot in Jinjiatun, was handcuffed, and the second Jin was still locked up in the village office. The rest of the people lost their will.

Tianlang stood beside Chen Yongqiang, ready to receive orders at any time.

Its eyes gleamed eerily in the firelight, sweeping over the people of Jinjiatun across the way, as if sizing up prey.

If Chen Yongqiang gives the order, at least half of these dozen or so people will be killed or injured, if not all of them. Tianlang has that ability.

Chen Yongqiang didn't say anything, but placed his palm on Tianlang's head and gently pressed it down.

In the crowd opposite, some people noticed the dog's eyes and began to feel afraid.

The two villagers from Jinjiatun who were standing at the very back exchanged glances while the people in front of them were looking ahead, and quietly moved back.

The people in front heard the commotion, turned around, and saw that two people were missing. Their expressions turned even more grim.

The one standing in front cursed, but didn't know who to curse.

Tonight, Jinjiatun lost both face and substance.

The ringleader, Jin the eldest, was handcuffed, while Jin the second was still detained at the village office. A dozen or so people from the village came to investigate.

Two escaped, and the rest stood at the village entrance; their chances of survival were slim.

The leader, who was standing at the very front and had been shouting, finally spoke up: "Let's go back and find the village chief."

After saying that, he waved his hand and turned to leave with his men.

"Wait!" Chen Yongqiang said coldly.

The man paused, turned around, and said with a defiant look in his eyes, "Chen Yongqiang, don't be so ruthless."

Chen Yongqiang gestured with his chin to the side: "Take your dogs with you, don't dirty our land."

The man paused for a moment, then followed his gaze.

In the roadside bushes, one of the two fierce dogs that Boss Jin brought was dead and the other was injured.

The dead one lay on the ground, and the injured one lay on its side beside it, its spine broken, unable to move the lower half of its body.

The people of Jinjiatun stood still, no one daring to step forward.

The leader took two steps forward, squatted down to look at the injured dog, and knew it was beyond repair.

"Knife." He reached out to the person behind him.

Someone handed him a wood-chopping knife. The man took it, swiftly brought it down, and the dog barked once, then fell silent.

He returned the knife to the person behind him, bent down, picked up the two dogs by their hind legs, and dragged them out of the village.

Zhu Zi watched as the people from Jinjiatun dragged their dogs away into the night: "The people from Jinjiatun are ruthless enough to kill their own dogs without hesitation."

He turned to Chen Yongqiang and said, "Brother Qiang, you're even more ruthless!"

Sirius bit one of the dogs to death right away, and Chen Yongqiang almost strangled Boss Jin to death! The look in his eyes just now was like he wanted to eat someone alive.

Chen Yongqiang said calmly, "Zhuzi, the people at your brick kiln should be more vigilant at night to prevent the people from Jinjiatun from launching a surprise attack."

As soon as it gets light tomorrow, the police station and forestry bureau will arrive and handle the situation accordingly; then Shimen Village will be out of the picture.

Zhu Zi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, someone has to watch the kiln fire at night anyway."

Chen Yongqiang turned around and beckoned to a few villagers who hadn't left yet, and walked towards the pile of branches by the roadside.

"Come on, lend a hand."

Several people followed him, dragging over some tree branches and moving over a few large stones to build a makeshift roadblock at the village entrance.
