Yi Zhonghai was momentarily speechless, unable to find a way to retort, but he still held a grudge against Chen Yuan in his heart.
Sha Zhu, who was always close to Yi Zhonghai, struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes burning with anger and his face full of defiance.
"You, Chen Yuan, dare to ambush me! If you have the guts, let's go again!" He patted the dust off his clothes, clenched his fists, and leaned forward slightly, looking ready to pounce at any moment.
Chen Yuan's lips curved slightly upward as he quietly watched him perform.
"With your two-bit skills, you dare to talk about ambushing? You were clearly the one who made the first move."
The people in the Four-in-one courtyard looked at each other; it was indeed Sha Zhu who had provoked first.
"Less talk! Take this!" Sha Zhu roared and charged at Chen Yuan again, swinging his proud fists.
Unfortunately, the outcome would remain unchanged.
Chen Yuan easily sidestepped, grabbed his wrist, and twisted it with the momentum.
"Ah!"
Sha Zhu let out a cry of pain, and his entire body was easily controlled by Chen Yuan.
"Do you submit?" Chen Yuan asked coldly.
"Bah! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
The stubborn Sha Zhu was still talking tough, so Chen Yuan no longer held back, holding his wrist with his left hand and directly delivering two loud slaps with his right.
"Slap! Slap!"
The entire courtyard instantly fell silent, with only the sound of slaps echoing through the Four-in-one courtyard.
Sha Zhu's cheeks immediately swelled red, and his eyes were a bit unfocused, clearly not expecting to be subdued and beaten so easily.
"Do you submit now?" Chen Yuan still held him, asking in a calm tone.
Sha Zhu stood there blankly, his eyes vacant, seemingly unable to accept that he, the "God of War of the Four-in-one courtyard," was beaten defenselessly by a newcomer.
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai quickly stepped forward a few paces, pointed at Chen Yuan, and shouted, "You are deliberately assaulting people and provoking trouble! Everyone saw it, let's all go up and subdue him!"
The old man's face was flushed red, clearly enraged.
Chen Yuan sneered, released Sha Zhu, and turned to face Yi Zhonghai: "What? You want to gang up on me? If you have the guts, come at me yourself!"
Yi Zhonghai looked around, trying to rally the people in the courtyard to come forward together.
"Everyone saw it, this kid is too arrogant! Let's all..."
Before he could finish, he found that the people around him were all backing away, not a single person daring to step forward to help.
Chen Yuan's method of dealing with Sha Zhu was too swift and decisive; these people were not fools, who would be the guinea pig for Yi Zhonghai?
They were already biased, and they had suffered from this unpleasantness in their daily lives, so they knew exactly what was going on.
Liu Haizhong stood in the crowd, watching Yi Zhonghai lose face, and a hint of imperceptible joy flashed in his eyes.
As Second Grandpa, he had always been dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai being First Grandpa.
Every meeting, First Grandpa would have the final say, and he, as Second Grandpa, could only meekly agree, which had long made him unhappy.
"This kid is interesting; it seems First Grandpa's good days are over," Liu Haizhong thought to himself.
Third Master Yan Bugui pushed up his glasses and squinted, observing the situation. As a notoriously shrewd person in the Four-in-one courtyard, he was best at adapting to circumstances.
At this moment, Xu Damao also rushed over to join the fun. He was originally taking a nap in his room and hurried out to see what was happening when he heard the commotion outside.
Seeing Sha Zhu beaten so badly, he was overjoyed, but he dared not show it on his face.
"This new kid is really something," Xu Damao whispered into Yan Bugui's ear.
Yan Bugui nodded slightly: "We have another difficult character in our courtyard."
Xu Damao's eyes darted around, thinking: I'll have to be careful with this one in the future, and definitely not provoke him.
Seeing that no one dared to come forward to help, Yi Zhonghai's face became even uglier, "Don't think that a pair of fists is all that powerful! I'll send someone to the Rolling Mill's security department to get people here now, and we'll see how long you can remain arrogant!"
He threatened, "Apologize to Sha Zhu immediately, and this matter can still be settled, otherwise, you'll bear the consequences!"
Chen Yuan sneered inwardly; this old man was still putting on airs.
He strode forward, directly standing in front of Yi Zhonghai.
"What did you say? Say it again?"
Yi Zhonghai was startled by Chen Yuan's sudden proximity and instinctively took half a step back, but quickly straightened his back, trying to maintain his dignity: "I said, apologize to Sha Zhu now, and this matter will be over! Otherwise..."
"Slap!"
Chen Yuan slapped him across the face again, the crisp sound making everyone in the courtyard gasp.
"You... you dare to hit me?" Yi Zhonghai covered his face, unable to believe it was real.
"What? Don't dare to hit you?" Chen Yuan sneered, "Didn't you want to call people from the security department? Go ahead, I'm waiting!"
The crowd in the courtyard stirred; no one expected Chen Yuan to directly hit Yi Zhonghai.
In the Four-in-one courtyard, Yi Zhonghai was a highly respected First Grandpa; who wouldn't give him some respect?
"Good... how bold! You just wait for me!" Yi Zhonghai trembled with anger, but he dared not step forward again, secretly telling a young man to quickly go to the Rolling Mill to call for people.
Chen Yuan did not stop him; he was not flustered at all, sneering inwardly that these people had no idea of the value of him, a descendant of a martyr! Those so-called factory security departments were simply a joke.
More importantly, Chen Yuan was going to report to the Street Office tomorrow, and by then, he would be the superior of the managing grandpas!
