Cheng Wu shook his head and said, "I never fart; it smells too bad. Lai Hao, you know what I do, so it's better not to argue with me. Otherwise, things might get ugly later."
After saying this, Cheng Wu didn't even look at Lai Hao but turned his gaze back to Zhou Yake.
"How about it, Miss Zhou? Consider my offer; the price I’m offering is fair, and I can guarantee that no one will bother you from now on. Of course, if you don’t sell me this house, I might just come looking for trouble, and then things won’t look good for anyone, right?"
Cheng Wu looked at Zhou Yake again, his expression calm, but his tone carried a hint of menace.
"I... I..."
Zhou Yake was startled and instinctively avoided Cheng Wu's gaze. Lai Hao was frightening, but Cheng Wu was even more terrifying; who knew what a thug like him might do?
"Your daughter is very cute; I really don’t want anything unfortunate to happen. You would definitely be heartbroken."
Cheng Wu's words pierced Zhou Yake's heart like a knife, causing her body to sway.
"So, in my opinion, you should take the 100,000 and go live somewhere else. Why suffer here? It's true that the compensation for this house will definitely be more than 100,000, but if you don’t have your life, what’s the point?"
This statement was an even more blatant threat, but everyone knew that Cheng Wu had the ability to carry it out, and he would certainly do so.
The scene fell into dead silence; no one even dared to meet Cheng Wu's gaze. He found it simple and enjoyed the situation.
"Zhong Tiedong, bring the contract to Miss Zhou; I think she has already agreed."
"Okay, boss."
Zhong Tiedong nodded and walked over to Zhou Yake, then took out a contract and a pen from his bag, smiling smugly as he said, "Miss Zhou, go ahead and sign. I already offered 100,000; if you had sold it earlier, you wouldn’t have lost anything."
As she took the contract, Zhou Yake's hands trembled. She had held onto this house tightly in hopes of waiting for compensation day; now Lai Hao was forcing her, and Cheng Wu was also pressuring her. What could a weak woman like her do?
Tears dripped onto the contract one after another; at that moment, Zhou Yake felt as if she had no hope of living on.
"Mom, mom, we will never sign, these people are all bad guys!"
Lai Chen, though small, had reached an age where he understood that everyone was bullying him and his mother.
The sharp voice of the child echoed throughout the Yard, making it feel as if a Cuckoo was bleeding, stirring a sense of compassion in the hearts of those who heard it, yet no one dared to speak up. Who wouldn't fear Cheng Wu?
"Sign it quickly!"
Zhong Tiedong shouted loudly, startling Zhou Yake. Looking at his daughter, Zhou Yake finally gritted her teeth and trembled as she reached for the paper...
"Hmph! Sign what?"
Ancient Sorcerer and Fan Feng arrived at the Yard just in time to hear this exclamation. They immediately shouted and pushed through the crowd to enter.
As soon as he stepped inside, Ancient Sorcerer's expression darkened. He saw Lai Hao, Zhong Tiedong, and Cheng Wu standing in the center of the Yard.
"Oh, it's quite lively here today!"
Upon seeing the situation, Ancient Sorcerer quickly understood what was happening.
Whether it was Lai Hao or Zhong Tiedong and the others, they were all here to force a coup, and it was an intensified version.
As soon as Lai Chen spotted Ancient Sorcerer, he ran over while saying, "Uncle Luo, these bad people are back again, forcing mom to sell the house to them. You have to beat them up!"
Picking up Lai Chen and seeing his tear-streaked face resembling a crying cat and hearing his frightened voice made Ancient Sorcerer's expression even darker.
He knew that these people must have pressured Zhou Yake severely just moments ago!
A single mother and her child were being bullied by so many people, and Zhou Yake's gentle nature would only make her suffer more.
“Chenchen, don’t cry. Let uncle show you how to take revenge.”
After wiping away the tears from Lai Chen's face, Ancient Sorcerer handed Lai Chen over to Fan Feng, saying, “Help me hold him for a moment; I’ll handle this situation.”
“Okay.”
Fan Feng took Lai Chen and whispered, “Chenchen, be good, don’t be afraid. Your Uncle Luo is here; no one can bully you.”
As soon as Fan Feng arrived at the scene, she understood what was going on. Being a woman herself, she could empathize with Zhou Yake’s feelings at that moment, so she felt deep hatred for those who bullied Zhou Yake.
Fan Feng glanced at Ancient Sorcerer, noticing that his face was clouded with anger, and his eyes flashed with cold light. She silently mourned for those people; she knew that Ancient Sorcerer was genuinely furious.
What a ruthless person! Ancient Sorcerer was definitely someone formidable, and more importantly, this formidable person possessed abilities that others did not understand. Wasn’t it courting death to oppose someone like that?
Quickly walking up to Zhou Yake, he snatched the contract from her hands, tore it with a “hiss,” and threw it to the ground before saying, “Yake sister, I’ll handle this matter.”
“Okay.”
Seeing Ancient Sorcerer arrive, Zhou Yake immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if she suddenly had a backbone, and even showed a hint of a smile on her face.
Turning to look at Zhong Tiedong, Ancient Sorcerer sneered and said, “Zhong Tiedong, didn’t I tell you last time that if you come again, it won’t be as simple as just a leg?”
“What… what do you want? I… I came with the boss today.”
Feeling Ancient Sorcerer’s gaze fixed on him like a venomous snake, Zhong Tiedong felt a chill run down his spine. He recalled that night when Ancient Sorcerer seemed like a god of death; even while leaning on his cane, he took two steps back.
“Don’t hide; you can’t escape.”
Taking a step forward, Ancient Sorcerer lifted his leg and stomped down on Zhong Tiedong’s remaining leg.
Even if Zhong Tiedong's leg was fine, he couldn't escape this. How could he possibly avoid it now?
"Crack!"
After a sharp sound, Zhong Tiedong's heart-wrenching scream followed, and then he fell to the ground, rolling in agony—his remaining leg was twisted into a horrifying L-shape, clearly broken.
Fan Feng reached out to cover Lai Chen's eyes and whispered, "Uncle is hitting someone, don't look."
"Hmph! I want to see! I want to see how Uncle teaches these bad guys a lesson!"
Lai Chen, however, was not afraid at all. She forcefully pried Fan Feng's hand away and widened her eyes to look at Zhong Tiedong. Then she clapped her small hands and said, "Great! Uncle Luo, knock these bad guys down! They bullied me and Mom just now!"
In Lai Chen's innocent mind, she couldn't possibly understand how painful it was to have a leg broken like that. To her, since Zhong Tiedong and the others had just bullied her and her mother, seeing them get beaten made her very happy.
Hearing such words, everyone present fell silent. Could they blame Lai Chen? They all witnessed how Zhong Tiedong and the others treated Zhou Yake.
Cheng Wu's face was as dark as if it were about to rain. Zhong Tiedong was one of his own men, and here he was being beaten in front of him; it was clear that they didn't take him seriously.
"Kid, it's not that easy to meddle in other people's affairs."
