Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound
Chapter 22 Is There No Law Left?
If Sha Zhu really dares to harm Chen Wenqi, she will risk her life to prevent him from succeeding.
However, what happened next plunged all the onlookers into a deathly silence.
With a dull thud, before Sha Zhu's fist could even touch Chen Wenqi's forehead, his chest felt like it had been slammed by a speeding truck.
He was thrown backward uncontrollably for four or five meters before crashing heavily to the ground.
Sha Zhu let out a piercing scream, and bright red blood gushed from the corner of his mouth.
The neighbors in the courtyard were all stunned by this sudden scene, their faces showing disbelief.
Sha Zhu was the undisputed "God of War" in the courtyard, and was also known for his fearlessness and recklessness.
In this courtyard, it's always been Sha Zhu who gets to hit people; who has ever seen him suffer such a great loss?
Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were originally full of expectations, hoping that Sha Zhu could teach Chen Wenqi a good lesson and make him more obedient in the future.
But to their utter surprise, it was Sha Zhu who ended up being kicked away by Chen Wenqi.
Yi Zhonghai's face immediately darkened, becoming so gloomy it was almost dripping with water. He strode out from the crowd, glared at Chen Wenqi, and shouted angrily, "Chen Wenqi, how could you hit someone for no reason?"
He pointed at Sha Zhu lying on the ground, his voice growing increasingly stern: "Look at the state you've left him in!"
Chen Wenqi glanced coldly at Yi Zhonghai and retorted without any politeness, "Yi Zhonghai, are you blind?"
His tone was sharp as a knife as he continued, "Didn't you see that it was Sha Zhu who started it by trying to hit me? This was self-defense, a perfectly legitimate act of self-defense. What's the problem with that?"
Yi Zhonghai clearly didn't want to reason with him, and said arrogantly, "Don't give me that high-sounding platitude. Hitting someone is wrong, that's an indisputable fact!"
Chen Wenqi immediately retorted without holding back: "Yi Zhonghai, so you know hitting people is wrong, huh?"
He abruptly changed the subject, questioning, "Then let me ask you, when Sha Zhu used to beat Xu Damao black and blue, why didn't you say he was wrong? Where were you hiding then?"
Chen Wenqi then rebuked them righteously and sternly: "Don't think I don't know what you're up to."
His gaze was sharp, sweeping over Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu: "You and Qin Huairu were hiding by the moon gate, secretly watching, weren't you just waiting for Sha Zhu to come and beat me up?"
Chen Wenqi let out a cold laugh: "Unfortunately, you never expected that in the end, it would be Sha Zhu himself who suffers!"
As he spoke, he pointed at Sha Zhu, who was lying on the ground groaning in pain, and said angrily, "Sha Zhu, a grown man in his twenties, has the nerve to bully a teenager like me? Tell me, is there any justice in this world?"
Chen Wenqi's words hit the nail on the head, completely exposing the shady intentions of Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.
He knew perfectly well that Qin Huairu must have been behind this whole affair, instigating and provoking him.
This two-faced green tea bitch is utterly disgusting. Just because she didn't get her fish when she came to ask for it during the day, she held a grudge and actually instigated Sha Zhu to come and beat her up at night.
We'll have to settle this score with her slowly later.
Yi Zhonghai was rendered speechless by Chen Wenqi's retort, his face turning pale and then flushed. He exclaimed angrily, "You...you're utterly lawless!"
He hurriedly turned to Jia Dongxu and urgently ordered, "Dongxu, quickly go find Second Uncle and Third Uncle, we need to hold a general meeting for the whole compound! This compound can't be without rules, it must be properly managed!"
Chen Wenqi scoffed dismissively and said, "Why go through all this trouble? Just call the police."
He added firmly, "I want to see if Sha Zhu's actions of trespassing and premeditated violence can be considered justified."
After saying that, Chen Wenqi turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, looking like he was really going to the police station to report the crime.
Upon seeing this, Yi Zhonghai panicked and shouted, "Don't call the police! Absolutely do not call the police!"
He urgently commanded, "Dongxu, Guangqi, quick... stop him! Don't let him get away!"
Yi Zhonghai knew very well that he had done a lot of dirty things that couldn't be seen in the light of day, and what he feared most was alerting the police station.
Therefore, he always insisted on the principle of "resolving matters within the compound," fearing that things would escalate.
When Xu Damao was beaten so badly by Sha Zhu that he was hospitalized, Yi Zhonghai insisted on not calling the police and only made Sha Zhu pay him five yuan in compensation before the matter was settled hastily.
Because of that five yuan compensation, Sha Zhu held a grudge. Later, he even put a sack over Xu Damao's head in the alley and beat him up severely.
Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's instructions, Jia Dongxu and Liu Guangqi stepped forward without hesitation, standing on either side of Chen Wenqi to block his path.
Upon seeing this, Chen Wenqi was immediately enraged and demanded sharply, "What? Are you trying to illegally detain me? Are you openly restricting my personal freedom?"
His gaze was fixed on Liu Guangqi, and he said in a serious tone, "Liu Guangqi, you should think carefully before making a decision."
Chen Wenqi reminded him word by word: "Are you sure you want to do this? Are you willing to be Yi Zhonghai's pawn? You are a vocational school student now, which means you are educated and have a bright future."
He continued to press, "If the police station finds out that you deliberately prevented others from calling the police and hindered them from protecting their rights, do you think you'll be able to graduate smoothly if this gets back to the school?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Guangqi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately cowered, his face showing hesitation and fear.
He's not really stupid; if he were, he wouldn't have been able to get into a vocational school.
Chen Wenqi's mother, Zhou Shuqin, rushed over and tightly shielded him behind her. She angrily questioned Yi Zhonghai, "Yi Zhonghai, what exactly do you want? Is there no law anymore? Do you really think we, a widow and her son, are easy to bully?"
Yi Zhonghai's face turned ashen as he roared at Zhou Shuqin, "Zhou Shuqin, look at what your son has become! He's lawless, disrespectful to his elders, and doesn't understand any manners. How did you raise him?!"
Chen Wenqi pulled his mother behind him to protect her, and retorted to Yi Zhonghai without backing down, "My mother taught me to be upright and honest, not shameless and disrespectful."
