I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

The extremely vicious taunts from the Jia mother and son pierced the ears of the two guards, like needles pricking their nerves.

The two men's expressions changed drastically in an instant, and the hesitation in their eyes was completely replaced by anger! They looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. They completely forgot their previous concerns and only had Zhou Weiguo's order to "cripple Jia Dongxu's legs" in their minds.

How could they stand idly by while their commander was humiliated?

Since this mother and son are so reckless and insist on walking into the line of fire, there's no need to be polite!

One of them slightly turned his body, raised his foot, and was about to kick the door hard.

On the other side, Jia Zhangshi had just caught her breath when she saw the guards about to break down the door. With her son in imminent danger, she forgot all about cursing and charged directly at the guards like a wild boar.

But to the guards, her movements were as slow as a snail's pace and full of flaws.

The guard simply dodged lightly, and Jia Zhangshi missed her target. Unable to stop her momentum, she rushed forward like a kite with a broken string.

"Boom... Crack..."

With a deafening crash, she first slammed heavily against the door, followed by the crisp sound of wood breaking.

The old door was not sturdy to begin with, and when she bumped into it, it was knocked off the frame and crashed into the room with a whooshing sound!

Just then, a bloodcurdling scream suddenly erupted from inside the house: "Ah...........!"

The sound was full of pain. It turned out that Jia Dongxu had been hiding behind the door, staring intently at the commotion outside. His hand, gripping the kitchen knife, was sweating. He had no idea that the door would suddenly be knocked down from the outside.

The detached door panel slammed into him with a whoosh. Jia Dongxu couldn't dodge in time and was hit squarely. Fortunately, the kitchen knife he was holding was knocked away by the door panel and landed with a "clang" in the corner, scattering a few sparks.

He was so frightened that his whole body went numb. He secretly rejoiced: Luckily, the knife flew away. If he had still been holding it, it might have cleaved him in two with that blow, and then he would have been really done for!

Before the dust from the smashed door had even settled, the two guards, without any further hesitation, exchanged a glance and quickly stepped forward.

They completely ignored Jia Zhangshi, who had hit her head on the door frame and was unconscious with her eyes closed. They went straight to the crooked wooden door and, like carrying a dead dog, pulled Jia Dongxu, who was lying on the ground, out from under the door panel.

Jia Dongxu felt as if his bones were falling apart, grimacing in pain. It wasn't until he was dragged to the ground that he seemed to truly wake up from his daze, fully realizing that he had no way out, and fear overwhelmed him like a tide.

He struggled to lift his blood-stained face, his voice trembling with sobs as he frantically begged for mercy: "Please, please don't cripple my legs! Uncle Guo, I was wrong! I shouldn't have cursed you, I shouldn't have opposed you! Please forgive me this time, I'll never do it again!"

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate. Immediately afterwards, two police officers walked in with grim faces, their brows furrowed as they surveyed the chaotic scene inside the courtyard.

Jia Dongxu caught a glimpse of the police officers entering out of the corner of his eye. As if grasping at a lifeline, his wailing and pleading abruptly ceased. He immediately rallied, launching into a frantic tirade against Zhou Weiguo, his voice shrill and agitated: "Officers! Save me! Zhou Weiguo is trying to assault me! He sent these two thugs to cripple my legs! Arrest him! He even threatened me with a gun! It's utterly lawless!"

Faced with Jia Dongxu's clamor and the sudden appearance of the police, Zhou Weiguo didn't even lift an eyelid. He ignored Jia Dongxu's frantic outburst and didn't even glance at the two policemen. He simply gave the guards beside him another look, his tone calm but carrying an undeniable authority: "Make your move."

The two guards understood instantly and nodded in unison.

Immediately afterwards, one of them stepped forward, and with a sudden burst of strength in his wrist, he slashed hard across the neck of Jia Dongxu, who was still crying and begging for mercy!

With a "thud," Jia Dongxu didn't even have time to groan before his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground, completely losing consciousness.

The two then swiftly lifted Jia Dongxu from either side, laid him flat on the ground with his legs straight, and positioned him in a way that made it easy to carry him out.

The series of actions was so fast that no one could react in time. The neighbors in the courtyard, seeing this, instantly paled, gasped, and whispered in shock, "It's over! Zhou Weiguo is serious! He's not really going to break Jia Dongxu's leg in front of these two policemen, is he?"

"I thought Zhou Weiguo was just bluffing at first, but now it seems he wasn't joking at all! Jia Dongxu really angered him! Otherwise, he wouldn't have done something like this, would he?"

Yi Zhonghai, on the other hand, hid excitedly in the crowd, his face beaming with excitement.

But what happened next stunned the neighbors in the courtyard. Everyone thought the guards would take out weapons such as iron bars and machetes, but the two did not use any weapons.

One of them squatted down and flipped Jia Dongxu over so that his back was facing up.

Immediately afterwards, he slowly raised his right fist, his arm muscles tensed, and slammed it down hard on Jia Dongxu's lumbar spine!

"Click..."

A clear, piercing crack of a dislocated joint was particularly eerie in the quiet courtyard.

Even while unconscious, the excruciating pain caused Jia Dongxu to reflexively let out a scream that sounded inhuman: "Awooo...!"

Yi Zhonghai stared intently at the two policemen who had just entered, his excitement almost overflowing. His heart pounded wildly, and he was secretly overjoyed: "Good! Excellent! Zhou Weiguo is defying the law! He dares to hurt people right in front of the police. He's doomed this time, right? Let's see how arrogant he can be now!" But the next second, the scene before him left him speechless, frozen in place, his smile instantly freezing.

Zhou Weiguo finally raised his eyes, raised an eyebrow at the two policemen, his expression as calm as if he were merely having a casual chat, and slowly asked, "What is it?"

The older of the two police officers immediately relaxed his tense expression, took two quick steps forward, and said in an unusually respectful tone, "Chief Engineer Zhou, we heard gunshots outside just now and were worried about your safety, so we thought we'd come in to check if you were hurt."

Zhou Weiguo gently shook his head and explained calmly, "It's nothing. I fired my gun to warn the thugs, but they not only ignored my warnings but also repeatedly attacked me, even threatening to kill me and harm my family. My men acted in self-defense to protect me, and they only retaliated with one punch. You tell me, that's self-defense, isn't it reasonable?"

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
