Chapter 72

"You want me to pay for your mental distress?"

Sha Zhu was furious.

Being bagged and beaten by Chen Tian was a bitter pill he had to swallow, and that was that.

Now they actually wanted him to pay money?

They were simply dreaming.

"Why should I pay money!"

"You beat me into this state, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet!"

Sha Zhu shouted angrily.

Chen Tian sneered, "You dog, don't you know you've broken the law?"

"You pried open my door and let Bang Geng break in; not only is that trespassing, but you also incited a minor to commit a crime!"

"I beat you, that's legitimate self-defense."

"It is only right that you compensate me for my mental distress."

"Since you don't want to compensate, then we'll call the police and let the officers handle it."

Dealing with a stubborn fool like Sha Zhu, no amount of beating would be useful.

As long as he called the police, Sha Zhu would surely back down.

Liu Liu Haizhong and Yan Yan Bugui exchanged a glance, the two of them understanding each other perfectly.

"Ahem, Sha Zhu, there's a reason we beat you."

"Who told you to pry open someone's door and break into their house early in the morning."

"And then get mistaken for a robber by Chen Tian."

"This is the first time our courtyard has encountered such a thing; everyone was worried, so we were a bit impulsive, which caused a misunderstanding."

"Look at you, it would have been fine if you just gave Bang Geng New Year's money yourself, why did you incite a few children to go and demand money from people early in the morning."

"And if they didn't give it, you cursed them for not having sons; Sha Zhu, that's a bit wicked of you."

Liu Liu Haizhong put on the airs of a Second Uncle and began to lecture Sha Zhu.

He had also hit quite hard just now, and fearing Sha Zhu's retaliation, he defined Sha Zhu's behavior first, pushing all the blame onto him.

Yan Yan Bugui pushed up his glasses.

He was a teacher, and he had never laid a hand on children while teaching at school.

He had four children at home, and none of them had ever been beaten from childhood to adulthood.

That was because he considered himself a scholar.

This was his first time ever hitting someone, and he couldn't lose face because of it.

"Sha Zhu, your Second Uncle is right."

"What you did was really not decent; Bang Geng and Xiao Dang are still children, how could you do such a thing."

"It's lucky it was us this time; if it had been someone else's house, it wouldn't have been too much to beat you to death."

"I think you'd better honestly pay the compensation and don't blow this out of proportion."

Yan Yan Bugui looked righteous as he told Sha Zhu to pay.

This way, the matter could be resolved within the courtyard without needing to go to the police station.

Yan Yan Bugui was worried that Sha Zhu would act like a fool and refuse to pay.

If that happened, Chen Tian would definitely call the police, and if the police came, his own involvement in the beating wouldn't be hidden.

Yan Yan Bugui cared a great deal about his reputation and naturally didn't want this matter to spread.

"Old Yi, you should state your position too."

Liu Liu Haizhong pulled on Yi Yi Zhonghai.

You old fox, wanting to stay out of this, it's not that easy.

The beating was a collective effort, and he had to come out and say a few words now.

Yi Yi Zhonghai's eyes were gloomy, and he glared fiercely at Liu Liu Haizhong.

"I'm not even the First Uncle of the courtyard anymore; I have nothing to say."

"The advanced courtyard award for this year hasn't been decided yet, and for our courtyard to have such a thing happen on the New Year is truly shameful."

"I think it's best if it can be resolved within the courtyard and not blown out of proportion."

Yi Yi Zhonghai had his own little schemes in mind.

As long as he could maintain the stability of the courtyard and not let it reach the neighborhood office, there was still hope for him to become the First Uncle again.

As long as they could be rated as an advanced courtyard this time, it would prove that he had contributed during the year.

Combined with the model examples of the previous two years, Yi Yi Zhonghai was confident he could become the First Uncle.

When that time came, the first person he would deal with was Chen Tian.

And then that despicable, shameless villain Liu Liu Haizhong.

"You old immortal, you're talking nonsense!"

"How did I not see before that you were a sanctimonious hypocrite!"

"It serves you right that you're a dead-end, childless your whole life, with no descendants!"

Sha Zhu was furious and pointed at Yi Yi Zhonghai, cursing him roundly.

Not only did he beat him, but he also helped Chen Tian frame him.

Sha Zhu hated Yi Yi Zhonghai to death and wished he could kill him with one punch.

Not having children was the pain of Yi Yi Zhonghai's life, and Sha Zhu had plunged a knife directly into his most painful spot.

Yi Yi Zhonghai was so angry his face turned red, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.

He should have beaten this bastard Sha Zhu to death just now.

"You dog, if I don't finish you off today, I'm not the First Uncle."

Yi Yi Zhonghai suppressed his anger; Sha Zhu was brainless and only knew how to rely on his fists.

With a little bit of strategy, he could play him to death.

"Bang Geng, I'm asking you, was it Sha Zhu who incited you?"

"Lying will land you in jail."

Yi Yi Zhonghai's face was dark as he intimidated Bang Geng.

Originally, he didn't want to deal with this mess.

But since that dog Sha Zhu called him a dead-end, then he was sorry.

He had to finish him off.

Sha Zhu leaned in Qin Qin Huairu's arms, his face covered in blood.

His face was beaten black and blue, and his left eye had been turned into a panda eye.

One of his front teeth had also been knocked out.
