In her eyes, no matter how many faults He Daqing had, he was still Sha Zhu's biological father.

What kind of son would be so cruel to his father?

More importantly, if this farce doesn't end soon, there might really be bloodshed in this courtyard—and then, who among those who were just watching the spectacle will escape unscathed?

Yi Zhonghai also frowned, filled with disappointment at Sha Zhu's actions.

If someone can be so cruel to their own father, what if they turn against them in the future?

There is absolutely no blood relation between them.

If Sha Zhu really turns against him, the plan to support him in his old age will definitely fall through.

The more he thought about it, the colder he felt. Finally, Yi Zhonghai rushed forward to try and pull Sha Zhu away.

Even He Daqing couldn't withstand it, so how could Yi Zhonghai be a match for him?

He had just gotten close, and before he could stop him, Sha Zhu's fist came flying at his face.

"Bang!"

That punch landed solidly, and Yi Zhonghai's vision suddenly went black; he almost passed out.

In that brief moment, he felt as if he had fallen into a silent abyss, where all light and color vanished.

Then, excruciating pain exploded, engulfing his entire body.

Sha Zhu, however, had no intention of stopping and followed up with several more punches.

Yi Zhonghai was completely powerless to resist. His eyelids drooped, and he fell straight to the ground, where he did not move again.

Just now, some people were planning to rush forward and drag Sha Zhu away, but after seeing the situation in the field, that idea was completely extinguished.

Although everyone was somewhat disgusted by Sha Zhu's beating of his own father, He Daqing was not related to them after all, so who would be willing to take a beating from Sha Zhu just to help him?

By this point, everyone had finally seen through him—Sha Zhu was ruthless and vicious, and he wouldn't stop until he had beaten someone unconscious.

Xu Damao gasped, swallowing hard as his Adam's apple bobbed.

"Good heavens... Sha Zhu is actually this good at fighting? He didn't really beat me to a pulp when he was messing around with me before. Maybe I'm just lucky?"

He muttered to himself, and just thinking about it sent a chill down his spine.

Xu Damao silently made up his mind: even if he provokes Sha Zhu again in the future, he must know what is important. If he really angers him, he can't withstand that beating.

"That Sha Zhu is really fierce."

Hao Jianguo, who was standing nearby, caught a glimpse of this scene and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

In his opinion, Sha Zhu truly deserved his title as the "God of War" of the courtyard, having beaten up the previous "God of War."

It was like he was disciplining his grandson.

He Daqing was a big shot in the courtyard back then, but after only a few exchanges, he was completely pinned to the ground by Sha Zhu and was about to be beaten unconscious.

This shows just how terrifying Sha Zhu's strength is now.

Hao Jianguo's gaze shifted and landed on Jia Zhangshi, who was grinning maliciously beside him.

He figured that the reason Sha Zhu was able to unleash such brute force today was probably because Jia Zhangshi was "cheering him on" from the sidelines.

Indeed, emotions are the most powerful force that can bring out a person's ruthlessness.

Thinking of this, Hao Jianguo shook his head helplessly, and when he looked at Sha Zhu again, he didn't know what to say.

If this fight continues, He Daqing might lose his life to his own son.

As for whether Shazhu will regret it later—that's a matter for the future, and he can't care about that now.

Clearly, simply beating He Daqing didn't appease Sha Zhu.

When he saw the bruises on Jia Zhangshi's body, he was so angry that he almost exploded. He suddenly turned his head and glared at He Yushui.

In his mind, the root of all this trouble was He Yushui: if she hadn't gone to find He Daqing, how could Jia Zhangshi have been beaten?

The more he thought about it, the more he hated it, and Sha Zhu rushed to He Yushui's side.

"what!"

He Yushui screamed in fright. Before she could dodge, Sha Zhu grabbed her collar and lifted her off the ground.

"Idiot, Idiot Zhu... what are you doing!"

He Yushui's voice trembled; just looking at his ferocious face made her heart race with panic.

"What are you doing?"

Sha Zhu forced a cold laugh through gritted teeth, "I'm settling scores for Xiao Zhang! If it weren't for you, you scoundrel, bringing He Daqing here, would Xiao Zhang have gotten hurt? Ultimately, you're the culprit!"

He cursed mercilessly, not caring whether the person in front of him was his own sister or not, and raised his hand to slap her several times.

He Yushui screamed in pain.

Those slaps were extremely hard, almost to the point of killing her. She felt dizzy and saw stars flashing before her eyes.

Before long, her cheeks were swollen and red, her skin felt so hot it felt like it was about to crack, and blood trickled down her lips and cheeks.

In this excruciating pain, He Yushui felt as if she was about to be killed by Sha Zhu.

"Help me... old lady, please help me!"

She struggled to call for help in the direction of the deaf old woman.

But by this time, Sha Zhu's eyes had already turned red. As soon as he heard her call for help, he turned his head sharply, and two fierce glares shot straight towards where the deaf old woman was standing.

The moment Sha Zhu's almost manic gaze swept over her, the deaf old lady shuddered violently.

In that instant, she felt as if an invisible iron clamp was tightly gripping her heart, suffocating her.

How could she possibly save He Yushui? She was barely able to take care of herself right now, let alone have such a thought.

If this silly pillar really goes crazy, he'll probably turn his back on even his closest relatives.

Upon realizing this, the old lady panicked and took several steps back, leaning on her cane as she tried to hide in the crowd.

But how could an old woman with faltering steps outrun Sha Zhu, who was in his prime?

He darted forward in just two steps, his imposing figure blocking the way like a wall.

The crowd that had been gathered around the old lady watching the commotion scattered like birds when they saw Sha Zhu's fierce appearance, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

The courtyard suddenly became empty, leaving only the two of them facing each other.

"Grandma, you got involved in this too?"

Sha Zhu squeezed out those words through clenched teeth, his eyes filled with a chillingly sinister glint.

He knew perfectly well that the deaf old woman and Yi Zhonghai had been openly and secretly obstructing him and Jia Zhangshi from getting together, which had already touched a nerve.

He had previously been patient, mindful of the kindness these two had shown him in the past, and unwilling to completely sever ties.

But now He Daqing has suddenly appeared, and even his "Little Zhang" is involved.

A severe beating was like lighting the fuse of a bucket, burning away the last vestiges of his reason.

"Zhu Zi, you...you can't make a foolish mistake!"

Seeing Sha Zhu's expression, as if he wanted to devour people alive, the deaf old woman was so frightened that her voice trembled and her thin body shook like a leaf in the autumn wind.

But then, Madam Jia Zhang still wouldn't calm down, and started wailing at the top of her lungs: "Silly Zhu! It must be that old bastard who's behind this! Otherwise, why would that girl Yu Shui go and summon He Daqing? Waaah... I'm so miserable. I serve my father-in-law with all my heart, and not only do I not get any appreciation, but I also got beaten for no reason. My whole body aches terribly..."

Her crying was melodious and affected, but the affected tone only made the people around her feel nauseous.

If it weren't for the fear of Sha Zhu's brute strength, someone would probably have already stepped forward and slapped the old woman a few times.

Upon hearing this, the deaf old woman's heart skipped a beat.

He sank in, muttering under his breath, "a jinx."

This Jia Zhangshi is truly vicious; she's even stirring things up now, instigating Sha Zhu to deal with her.

How could her old bones withstand Sha Zhu's punches and kicks?

What chilled her to the bone was that she knew all too well what Sha Zhu's current state was like—he was practically under Jia Zhangshi's spell, and would probably obey her every word.

Sure enough, before Jia Zhangshi could finish speaking, Sha Zhu's anger exploded. "Old lady! I used to treat you all like family, and this is how you treat me? It's utterly hateful!"

"Xiao Zhang is the apple of my eye! I thought you would support her and give your blessings! But what did you do? Not only did you not give your blessings, you even hurt her! Today, I will make you all suffer the same injustice she endured!"

At this moment, Sha Zhu's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman.

He grabbed the deaf old woman's withered wrist and pulled hard, causing her to scream and fall to the ground.

Before she could even cry out in pain, Sha Zhu had already raised his foot and kicked her hard in the leg bone.

The old lady was very old and her bones were already brittle; she couldn't withstand such force.

All I heard was a "click".

With a sharp, clear sound, the old man's leg was broken by a kick.

"ah--!"

A piercing scream shattered the deathly silence of the courtyard.

The old woman was in so much pain that she curled up and convulsed uncontrollably.

The moment that kick was delivered, the old woman felt as if her internal organs had been displaced. The excruciating pain shattered her consciousness like a hammer blow, and her vision went black. It was as if she had one foot in the grave.

The onlookers were all frozen in place, no one expected that Sha Zhu would be so ruthless—that flying kick clearly carried the crisp sound of bones breaking, and the old lady's leg was twisted at a horrifying angle.

"This is going to be a fatality...this is really going to be a fatality..."

Liu Haizhong muttered to himself, his cold sweat pouring down his face, his teeth chattering softly.

Sha Zhu's cruel act against his elder completely shattered any remaining understanding he had of that person.

At this moment, the figure standing in the courtyard was no different from a vengeful ghost in his eyes.

Even if Sha Zhu stops now, who can predict when this madman will suddenly erupt again?

His gaze unconsciously drifted to his son.

Liu Guangfu was so frightened by his father's glance that he almost collapsed to the ground—he thought his father was going to push him to block that evil star.

"Dad! You can't push me into a fire pit!"

Liu Guangfu's voice trembled with tears, "How could I possibly be a match for that madman? Going up there would just be suicide!"

As he spoke, the bloody and mangled images of He Daqing and the others flashed before his eyes, and his calves cramped up.

For a moment, he even doubted whether he was truly of the Liu family bloodline—otherwise, why would his father be so indifferent to his life or death?

Liu Haizhong glared at his son with exasperation, and squeezed out two words through gritted teeth in a low voice:

"Go report this to the authorities."

Liu Guangfu was stunned for a moment, then slipped out of the yard as if he had been granted a pardon.

He strode very lightly with each step, afraid of disturbing the ferocious beast in the courtyard.

If Sha Zhu discovers his intentions, he's afraid he'll really become the next pile of mud.

Fortunately, Sha Zhu was unaware of the commotion.

After breaking the old lady's leg bone, he actually put his arm around Jia Zhangshi's waist, humming a little tune as he stepped into the house, as if he had just casually swatted a mosquito.

The courtyard was completely silent. Everyone stared blankly at the injured man writhing and groaning on the ground, but no one dared to step forward to help him up.

The pervasive stench of blood, mixed with a deep-seated fear, wove an invisible net that bound all compassion.

Hao Jianguo watched the farce quietly from the corner, a complex mix of amazement welling up inside him.

The power of that [Marriage Talisman] was truly overwhelming.

If he had known this thing had the power to turn the world upside down, he would have used it much sooner.

After a while, Liu Guangfu finally led the yamen runners back into the courtyard.

This kid has learned his lesson; he only points the way from the shadows of the doorway, refusing to take another step—he remembers how badly He Yushui was beaten.

"Who is Stupid Zhu?!"

When the constables saw the injured lying haphazardly on the ground, they immediately turned pale and their shouts made the courtyard walls vibrate.

Some people were already cursing in their hearts: Is this dilapidated courtyard plagued by disease or haunted by evil spirits? Bloodshed happens every few days.

Sha Zhu jumped out of the room in response.

A flicker of panic crossed his eyes when he caught a glimpse of the official robes.

But when the constable questioned him about whether he had injured someone, he raised his chin and admitted it with righteous indignation:

"I hit him! He deserved it! Xiao Zhang and I are deeply in love, but they insisted on interfering and stopping us—"

He glared fiercely at He Daqing and the others who were sprawled on the ground, and let out a cold laugh through his nose:

"Sparing their worthless lives is already an act of mercy from me."

The entire neighborhood gasped in shock.

No one expected that Sha Zhu would dare to be so arrogant and domineering in front of these government officials.

The constables exchanged glances, their hands already resting on the iron rulers at their waists.

They've seen ruthless people before, but they've never seen anyone so insane.

Sha Zhu's outrageous remarks in public were undoubtedly a blatant provocation against everyone.

"Since you've admitted it yourself, then come back with us."

A police officer immediately took out his weapon, ready to take the person away.

No one expected that Sha Zhu would suddenly start struggling at this moment.

"Why should I go with you? I did nothing wrong, I'm telling you..."

He seemed to have lost his mind; when several police officers came forward to subdue him, he even threw punches at them.

Sha Zhu's meager martial arts skills might be enough to impress people in the courtyard, but they would be useless against well-trained police officers.

In the blink of an eye, he was pinned to the ground and hit several times on the back.

Just moments ago, Sha Zhu was arrogant and cocky, but in the blink of an eye, he was stunned by the stun gun and collapsed like a limp rag doll.

The situation was finally brought under control, and Sha Zhu was escorted out of the yard.
