Courtyard House: From Deputy Division Commander to Civilian, Progressing All the Way

"ah!!!"

Yi Zhonghai let out a non-human scream, his crotch instantly became soaked, and a foul smell of urine filled the air.

This arrogant old man in the courtyard, who was always spouting righteousness and morality, was so scared by Wei Heshang's bluff that he wet himself!

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot! I'll give you everything! I'll give you back the house! I'll pay you back double the money! Please don't kill me!" Yi Zhonghai cried, his face covered in tears and snot, as he lay in the urine.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were so frightened that they pressed their heads firmly to the ground, not daring to look up, fearing that they would be the next ones to be shot.

"Alright, monk, put the gun away."

Li Yunlong spoke coldly.

He walked up to Yi Zhonghai, stepped on the back of Yi Zhonghai's hand, and crushed it hard.

"Ah—" Yi Zhonghai gasped in pain, but dared not struggle in the slightest.

"You cowardly cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong, do you think you deserve to make me waste my bullets?"

Li Yunlong's voice was like an icicle in the dead of winter, each word piercing the heart.

"When I was fighting the Japanese, I despised traitors like you the most! You bullied an honest orphan just because you outnumbered him. Now that you see a gun, you're so scared you wet your pants. Pah! What a piece of trash!"

Li Yunlong spat on Yi Zhonghai's face.

"Listen to me carefully. This courtyard is now Lin Yang's territory. How you bullied Brother Lin before, you'll pay for it a hundredfold, a thousandfold! If I find out you dare to have any more crooked ideas..."

Li Yunlong suddenly bent down, his murderous eyes fixed on Yi Zhonghai.

"Lin Yang doesn't even need to lift a finger. I'll personally bring a platoon of guards and raze this dilapidated courtyard to the ground! I'll drag your entire family to the Yongding River to fill the river's outlet! Do you understand?!"

"I understand! I understand! I will never do it again!" Yi Zhonghai nodded frantically, banging the bluestone slabs loudly.

Li Yunlong straightened up, snorted coldly, turned to look at Lin Yang, and the coldness on his face instantly turned into a smile.

"Yangzi, I'm heading back now. It's my birthday in a few days, you and Brother Lin absolutely must be there on time!"

Lin Yang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Lao Li, I'll definitely be there."

Li Yunlong, accompanied by Wei Heshang and his bodyguard, strode out of the courtyard, got into a jeep, and roared away.

Until the sound of the jeep completely disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

The people kneeling on the ground still dared not get up.

Lin Yang stood on the steps with his hands in his pockets, watching them as if they were clowns.

"Brother, it's cold outside, let's go inside," Lin Yang said casually, turning and walking into the main room.

Lin Fan was still in a state of dreamlike excitement.

He watched as the once arrogant old man now groveled before his younger brother like a dog, begging for mercy. He looked at the second old man, who always spoke in a bureaucratic tone, and was so frightened he couldn't utter a word.

All of this is too unreal!

"Yangzi, I...I'm not dreaming, am I?" Lin Fan followed into the house, pinched his thigh, and winced in pain.

Lin Yang chuckled and patted his shoulder: "Brother, this is just the beginning. In the future, you'll see many more things that feel like a dream. In this world, only strength matters."

outside the house.

Lin Yang closed the door.

The front door of Xu Damao's house in the front yard suddenly opened a crack.

Xu Damao's father, Xu Wude, was a projectionist who traveled from street to street. He was cunning and adept at changing his stance depending on the wind.

He was hiding inside the house and saw everything that happened outside clearly.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai and the others completely humiliated, he knew that his chance to kick them while they were down had come.

Hüwood pushed open the door, put his hands behind his back, and swaggered out.

Meanwhile, He Daqing from the Intermediate People's Court, having finished his meal, strolled out of the house picking his teeth.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately reached a tacit understanding.

"Hey! Aren't these our respected elders, Uncle One and Uncle Two?" Xu Wude said sarcastically, his voice so loud that the whole courtyard could hear him.

"In this freezing weather, why are you two old men lying on the ground practicing toad kung fu? Oh dear, why is there a puddle on the ground? Old Yi, how old are you? Why are you still wetting your pants!"

Upon hearing this, those who were peeking from behind the windows of each house couldn't help but let out suppressed laughter.

Yi Zhonghai's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red. He struggled to his feet, trembling all over, and pointed at Xu Wude, cursing, "Xu Wude! You shameless bastard! How dare you laugh at me!"

"Pah!" He Daqing spat a mouthful of phlegm onto the ground, retorting without any politeness.

"Yi Zhonghai, do you even have any shame left? You always act like a saint in the courtyard, spouting righteousness and morality, but behind their backs you've teamed up with that old hag Jia Zhangshi to rob the Lin family of their house and money! Now the army commander has a gun to your head, and you're so scared you're wetting your pants and begging for mercy. How can you still have the nerve to act like a big shot?"

He Daqing stood with his hands on his hips, spitting as he cursed, "Let me tell you, from today onwards, you, Yi Zhonghai, are nothing but a fart in our compound! Don't put on that arrogant old man act in front of me anymore!"

Liu Haizhong had just gotten up from the ground when he heard He Daqing say this. He immediately tried to defend his dignity: "He Daqing, don't be so arrogant! Old Yi may be gone, but I'm still your second uncle!"

"Second your mother's head!" Xu Wude cursed directly. "Liu Haizhong, you fat pig with a brain full of shit! Weren't you the one who was so scared that you didn't even dare to lift your head just now? What right do you have to be the second master? I think you're just a second grandson!"

"You...you've rebelled! Rebelled!" Yi Zhonghai trembled with rage, his vision blurring.

He never imagined that the cook and projectionist, whom he usually looked down upon, would dare to defecate on his neck in front of the entire hospital!

But he couldn't refute it.

Because his embarrassing act of wetting his pants and begging for mercy had been clearly seen by everyone in the hospital.

His prestige and reputation were completely destroyed at this moment!

"Dongxu! Dongxu, where the hell have you been! Help your mother back!" Yi Zhonghai was furious and could only vent his anger on Jia Dongxu, who was hiding in the house and dared not come out.

Only then did Jia Dongxu cautiously peek out. Seeing that Li Yunlong's men had already left, he dared to run out and laboriously drag Jia Zhangshi, who was still convulsing on the ground, into the house.

"Oh dear, Aunt Jia's face is so swollen, she looks like Pigsy from Journey to the West. How is she going to face anyone now?"

Xu Wude continued his sarcastic mockery.

"Serves you right! That's what happens when you have a foul mouth!" He Daqing sneered.

On this cold winter night,

The power structure of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang has been completely reshuffled.

The three once high-ranking stewards became the laughingstock of the entire courtyard overnight.

The young Party Secretary, who lived in the main room of the central courtyard, never laid a hand on them.

But his existence is like an insurmountable mountain.

It is a heavy weight pressing down on the hearts of every beast, ensuring they can never rise again!
