Chapter 8: Brutally Beating Jia Zhangshi

"Ding-dong! Detected Hatred Value +1000 from Jia Zhangshi."

"Received Hatred Value +1000 from Qin Huairu."

"Received Hatred Value +1200 from Yi Zhonghai."

Listening to the system's notification sound, Zhao Gangzi couldn't help but sit up.

"?"

"I can understand Jia Zhangshi and the others, but what's up with this old black dog? Why is his hatred even greater than that of someone whose son has been crippled?"

"Is this f*cking for real?"

Zhao Gangzi got dressed, deciding to deal with everyone outside the door. In any case, he could accumulate quite a bit of Hatred Value; the more they hated him, the more benefits he would gain!

"Zhao Shazi, you fatherless bastard! Do you believe I'll curse your ancestors for eighteen generations? You deserve to be a rootless wretch with no descendants!"

The more Jia Zhangshi cursed, the uglier it got, to the point where even the neighbors watching from the sidelines couldn't bear to listen anymore.

Any man with a shred of backbone would absolutely come out and deal with Jia Zhangshi after hearing such words.

"Sister-in-law Jia, your words are too harsh. Besides, Gangzi is an honest man, and we've all seen what your Dongxu has done over these years."

"Even if Gangzi has some responsibility, this is just too..." First Aunt's expression was not looking good.

Among the people in the Siheyuan, First Aunt could be considered a truly good person, but it was a pity that her life had been ruined in the hands of that old, childless Yi Zhonghai.

First Uncle had no children of his own, and to maintain his status, Yi Zhonghai had always proclaimed to the outside world that it was First Aunt who was unable to conceive, while he remained by her side, becoming a model husband in the Siheyuan.

But the truth of the situation was hard to say.

After all, over these years, the nickname of "Old Eunuch Yi Zhonghai" had also been circulating.

Seeing First Aunt actually speaking up for Zhao Gangzi, Yi Zhonghai immediately flew into a rage and retorted at once: "First Aunt, this matter is Zhao Gangzi's fault. Look at what has become of Dongxu; how can you still speak up for Zhao Gangzi?"

"Old Yi, you are just too... Sigh, I'm not going to care anymore!"

First Aunt was clearly somewhat angry, so she simply stopped bothering with the matter, turned her head, and went home to sleep.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had already reprimanded First Aunt, Jia Zhangshi didn't want to argue further, as she would need the help of First Uncle's family in the future, but her verbal abuse toward Zhao Gangzi became even more intense.

But before Jia Zhangshi could curse a few more times, the Zhao Family's door opened with a bang. First Aunt was right; any man with even a sliver of backbone would not swallow his pride.

Let alone Zhao Gangzi, who had transmigrated from the future and read countless Siheyuan fan-fiction novels—this old hag must pay the price today!

Looking at the red-eyed Zhao Gangzi, Jia Zhangshi thought he was having a fit of madness. She hurriedly retreated a few steps and stared at Zhao Gangzi, saying: "Zhao Shazi, what are you doing? If you're smart, take out your family assets to compensate our Jia Family, and spend the rest of your life working like a beast of burden for our Dongxu..."

"Heh, work like a beast of burden?"

"I'll be your father's egg!"

Zhao Gangzi stepped out, kicking up a circle of dust from the ground. Then, to the shocked gazes of the crowd, he flew into the air and kicked Jia Zhangshi directly in the face.

Bang!

Jia Zhangshi flew more than two meters away, a bright red footprint on her face.

"Holy crap, Shazi can fight like this? It's a good thing I never bullied him before," Xu Damao, who was standing close by, had truly seen Zhao Gangzi's flying kick; he had sent the two-hundred-plus-pound Jia Zhangshi flying.

This kind of combat power was simply not inferior to the Siheyuan War God, He Yuzhu!

"Ouch! Zhao Gangzi is killing someone! Old Jia, hurry and take him away!"

Jia Zhangshi fell to the ground, clutching her old face. She hadn't expected this Zhao Shazi to actually lay hands on her. This was a civilized society; how could he hit an old woman!

But this time, Jia Zhangshi got smart and lay directly on the ground, rolling around as if she had been severely injured. "No way! You little brat, if you don't pay a hundred or eighty yuan today, I'm not getting up!"

"That's right, Zhao Shazi, you animal! Pay up immediately, or we're calling the police!"

Qin Huairu was also tough for once today, shouting about calling the police; in any case, she couldn't let Zhao Gangzi off easy this time.

Even if the police officers came, their Jia Family would still be in the right.

"Since you want to call the police, then I won't be polite!"

Having just received another one thousand points of Hatred Value from Jia Zhangshi, Zhao Gangzi spent two thousand Hatred Value with the system to buy a Red Eye Effect.

Now, one of Zhao Gangzi's eyes was glowing with red light, scaring everyone around him. Qin Huairu was so frightened she didn't dare to move; when had she ever seen such a scene?

And the next moment.

Zhao Gangzi raised his palm and slapped it directly toward Qin Huairu's face.

Slap!

A heavy critical hit.

Qin Huairu was dumbfounded. "You, you actually dare to hit me?"

"I'm hitting you, that's who."

Zhao Gangzi let out a cold snort and backhanded her with another slap.

Only then did the crowd react, and Zhao Gangzi's Red Eye Effect was cancelled; everyone just assumed it had been an illusion.

The one who reacted the most was Shazhu. Seeing Qin Huairu being bullied, he immediately rushed up, grabbed Qin Huairu to pull her behind him, and cursed at Zhao Gangzi: "Zhao Shazi, you actually dare to hit a woman?"

"If you've got guts, come spar with me, He Yuzhu. I guarantee I'll hammer you to death!"

Shazhu was trying to show off in front of Qin Huairu.

Zhao Gangzi didn't indulge him either; he directly set his stance and said coldly: "I remember you didn't bully me any less in the past, so let's settle the score properly today!"

"Yo-ho, Shazi's madness really is cured, but you dare to hit Sister Qin? I, Zhuzi, am the first to disagree!"

Shazhu blew on his fists and immediately charged toward Zhao Gangzi. Yi Zhonghai didn't stop him, but instead watched the scene with cold eyes.

With Shazhu doing it himself this time, he believed no one in the Siheyuan could beat him.

After all, the title of Siheyuan War God didn't come for nothing.

But he still underestimated Zhao Gangzi. After all, possessing a Level 1 Strength Skill, he had two hundred pounds of force in a single hand, and he met Shazhu's punch head-on.

Shazhu was ultimately just an ordinary person and couldn't compare to Zhao Gangzi's Strange Strength. This punch was so powerful it nearly cracked Shazhu's bones.

"My fist! How does Zhao Shazi have so much strength? Did he take the wrong medicine! It hurts like hell!" Shazhu yelled in pain.

Clutching his fist and jumping up and down, the scene was extremely comical. The others were also dumbfounded; the usually invincible Shazhu actually couldn't beat Zhao Gangzi?

"Report this! Hurry and report this! The Siheyuan absolutely cannot allow such a bad person to live here!"

"Alright, Zhao Gangzi, not only did you beat an old person, you also hit a woman, and now you've injured Shazhu; I'm telling you, you won't be able to escape this lawsuit!"

Although Yi Zhonghai was flustered, he still pointed at Zhao Gangzi and accused him while pretending to be calm, and this time he was playing for real; he really did send someone out to report the case.

This was an attempt to put Zhao Gangzi to death.
