Chapter 2642
Seeing him act so arrogant, the burly man was overjoyed. This "God of Wrestling" Xiaoshan had such a big reputation; if he could win against him, he would become famous. Even though Xiaoshan had given up one hand, so what? Winning was the only hard truth.
Dalong didn't stop him either. He also hoped his subordinate would test Xiaoshan's true strength to see if Xiaoshan really had genuine talent or was just living off an empty reputation.
The burly man walked forward, eager to try. His build was solid, his muscles equally knotted, and he set up his wrestling stance, bouncing in front of Xiaoshan.
The burly man's movements looked quite professional, but once the two actually engaged, he proved to be vulnerable.
Just as he rushed up, trying to grab Xiaoshan's waistband, Xiaoshan took a step to the side and used his left hand to pull the burly man's wrist. The man instantly lost his center of gravity. Xiaoshan then used his hip to bump the burly man's thigh, and the man immediately felt himself flying uncontrollably.
The burly man flew several meters away. In the air, he flailed his arms, trying to maintain balance, but it was useless. He landed solidly in a "hungry dog eating dirt" pose, nearly knocking out several teeth.
Xiaoshan scolded sternly, "This is a little lesson for you. Don't be so foul-mouthed in the future."
Seeing Xiaoshan defeat the burly man so easily with one hand behind his back, Dalong and the people behind him were momentarily struck with awe. Xiaoshan stood like a god descended to earth, facing a whole group of people, not losing an inch in momentum.
Dalong was now in a dilemma. If he continued, he couldn't beat Xiaoshan and was afraid of the people behind him. But if he retreated now, how could he save face? How would he continue to mix in the West City?
Although Dalong was a big thug in the West City, he wasn't just someone who relied on brute force; on the contrary, he was very clever. Because of this, he thought more and feared more. He knew there were too many people in the capital he couldn't afford to offend.
Dalong hesitated, but the people behind him, after a brief shock, came to their senses. They let out a shout and prepared to swarm him. No matter how "godly" the wrestler Xiaoshan was, he couldn't beat so many people, right?
Just as they moved their feet, a group of people came out of the alley, all wearing identical white short jackets, and stood behind Xiaoshan. The one in front shouted, "Are you still shameless? It was agreed to be a one-on-one. Now that you've lost, are you trying to bully the few with the many?"
Although this group was smaller in number than Dalong's, Dalong knew they were the people who wrestled with Xiaoshan every day. Their combat effectiveness was far superior to his subordinates. If a real fight broke out, they wouldn't gain any advantage.
So, Dalong shouted, "Stop!"
His subordinates stopped. Dalong said in a deep voice, "Since it was a one-on-one, losing is losing. Losing to the God of Wrestling Xiaoshan is no disgrace. What are you all doing?"
Seeing them silent, Dalong walked to the side, took out his phone, and made a call. Xiaoshan watched coldly as he spoke a few words into the phone with unusual respect, nodded repeatedly, and then hung up.
Dalong walked over and said to Xiaoshan, "Fine, you won the one-on-one today. The matter of you beating my brothers the night before last is wiped clean. However, you are determined to block me today, right?"
Dalong was giving himself a way out; otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to step down. He couldn't beat Xiaoshan, and now he couldn't necessarily win in terms of backing either. What could he do?
He could only treat the previous one-on-one as a wager between the two. By saying this, he barely managed to save face.
Xiaoshan said, "No choice, I'm determined to handle this matter. If you really want to demolish this alley, let the bulldozer drive over my car."
Dalong snorted, "Fine, then just wait!"
Dalong stopped talking and stood opposite Xiaoshan. The two sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere was very tense.
After about ten minutes, police sirens wailed. The group behind Dalong hid their weapons, while the people behind Xiaoshan had no weapons, so they stood still.
Before long, several police cars arrived at the alley entrance and stopped. A group of police officers got out. The leading officer walked toward Dalong and asked, "What's the situation?"
Dalong said respectfully, "Officer, it's like this. We are from the Fuqiang Real Estate Development Company. Our company bought this land from the municipal government. We were negotiating demolition contracts with the residents properly, and everything was going well, but this group of thugs interfered and blocked our normal demolition. We had no choice but to call the police."
The officer took the copies of various certificates Dalong handed over, glanced at them, walked to Xiaoshan, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you blocking their normal demolition activities?"
Xiaoshan said, "Officer, this is not a normal demolition activity at all. The compensation they offered is more than half lower than the market price. The residents of this alley don't want to move, so they brought bulldozers to force the demolition. Is this a normal demolition activity?"
The officer said impatiently, "What does that have to do with you? Let them negotiate themselves."
Xiaoshan said, "If we hadn't blocked them, the houses in this alley would have already been pushed down."
The officer said, "This old urban area has already been included in the municipal government's old city renovation plan. The municipal government has given a strict order and a deadline. It must be demolished. So I advise you to leave quickly and let them negotiate the demolition contracts. Don't interfere, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Xiaoshan said, "They don't want to demolish their own houses. What's wrong with that? What law did they violate? Why are you being impolite to me?"
The officer glared and said, "They disrupted the municipal government's unified plan. Isn't that wrong? My words are the law. I'm being impolite to you, what can you do? Do you want to resist the law and assault an officer?"
Xiaoshan was not afraid at all. He said, "I won't assault an officer, but I won't move aside either. I'm not afraid even if this case goes all the way to the central government."
The officer rolled up his sleeves and said, "Yo, quite arrogant, aren't you? Everyone, move in! These people are obstructing law enforcement, arrest them all!"
The police officers, holding handcuffs and guns, prepared to arrest Xiaoshan and the others. At this moment, several residents came out of the alley and said, "Comrade Police, you can't wrong good people! It's these thugs who want to force the demolition!"
"That's right! They come here every night to harass us, splash red paint on our doors and walls, write threatening words, and throw bricks and stones into our courtyards. They are the bad guys!"
"Comrade Police, you should arrest them!"
The people who came out were all old men and women from the households. They blocked the police, making them hesitate and stop in their tracks.
The officer said sternly, "Don't mess around! What kind of behavior is this? This is obstructing official business. If you keep acting like this, we'll arrest you too! Everyone needs to have awareness. The whole city is one chessboard. You must support the municipal government's plan and sign the demolition contracts with them quickly."
An old woman heard this and lay down on the ground. Fortunately, it was June, and the ground wasn't cold. She slapped her thighs and cried, "Oh, heavens! The police are arresting people! The thugs are demolishing our houses! If they demolish our houses, I won't live anymore. Just arrest me!"
With this old woman lying down, several other old men and women followed suit. Suddenly, wailing filled the air, making the officer look embarrassed. He found it hard to step down.
He had thought that by scaring them, these old men and women would be afraid, but who knew they would pull this stunt.
He was annoyed and shouted, "Get up! Get up! If you don't get up, I'm really going to arrest you!"
A sharp-tongued old woman shouted, "Arrest us! Arrest us! Arrest us all! If you don't arrest us, you're a bastard!"
At her shout, the officer's blood rushed to his head. He ordered, "Arrest them! Whoever blocks us, arrest them!" ===== CHAPTER 2644 =====
