Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1117 Banggeng's Counterattack

Banggeng was furious when he heard what Yan Jiecheng said.

"What do you mean by playing rogue? You are the rogue. I tell you, if you don't give me the money, or tell me how to make money, then I will tell everyone about your relationship with the young widow, and then I will ruin your reputation."

Yan Jiecheng was so angry that he trembled all over when he heard Banggeng's threat. "You little bastard, you dare to threaten me? Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Yan Jiecheng pointed at Banggeng and cursed with his eyes wide open.

"Humph, you're not afraid? Then try it. I mean what I say." Bang Geng stared back at Yan Jiecheng without fear. "Don't think that no one knows about the ugly things you did. If everyone knew about it, I wonder how you'd be able to hold your head up in this yard in the future."

Yan Jiecheng's face turned very ugly. He knew that what Bang Geng said was true. If the story between him and the young widow was spread out, he would definitely become a laughing stock. But he was unwilling to be threatened by Bang Geng, so he continued to scold: "You are an uneducated thing. You are so young and you don't learn well. Do you think you can succeed like this? I tell you, no way!"

Bang Geng sneered and said, "Then let's wait and see who will be unlucky in the end." After that, Bang Geng turned around and was about to leave.

Yan Jiecheng looked at Banggeng's back, feeling angry and anxious. He knew that if Banggeng really told others about the incident, he would be finished. He hesitated for a moment and called Banggeng.

"Wait!" Yan Jiecheng's voice was a little hoarse.

Bang Geng stopped and turned to look at Yan Jiecheng, a smug smile on his face. "What? Have you figured it out?"

Yan Jiecheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I can give you some money, but you must promise not to tell anyone about me."

Bang Geng nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you pay me, I will keep my mouth shut."

Then Yan Jiecheng took out fifty cents from his pocket and handed it to Bang Geng.

Bang Geng held the fifty cents in his hand, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. His eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness, as if what he held in his hand was not money but an insult.

"Fifty cents? Do you think I'm a beggar?" Bang Geng's voice rose several decibels, with strong dissatisfaction. "Yan Jiecheng, you look down on me too much. I don't want such a small amount of money."

Yan Jiecheng frowned and said, "Don't push your luck, you little bastard. Fifty cents is already a lot, what else do you want?"

Bang Geng tightly grasped the fifty cents, veins popping out on the back of his hand. "This amount of money is not enough. Either you give me more or tell me how to make money. Otherwise, I will never let you go."

Yan Jiecheng's face also turned ugly. He didn't expect Banggeng to be so difficult to deal with. "Banggeng, don't go too far. I've already done my best by giving you fifty cents. If you're still not satisfied, don't blame me for being rude."

Bang Geng snorted coldly and said, "You're welcome? What can you do to me? At worst, I will spread your ugly deeds and let everyone know what kind of person you, Yan Jiecheng, are."

Yan Jiecheng was not unwilling to give Banggeng money. In fact, he still had a lot of money on him. But he knew very well that Banggeng was a rogue. If he gave him money, he would definitely continue to ask for more.

So Yan Jiecheng decided not to pay any more attention to Banggeng.

Bang Geng was so angry that his face turned red, and the anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt. He could no longer bear it, so he stood in the middle of the courtyard and yelled at the top of his voice.

"Everyone come and take a look! Yan Jiecheng is not a good guy! He is having an affair with the widow Zhou from the compound next door!" Banggeng's voice echoed in the compound, full of anger and revenge.

Liu Haizhong, who had just recovered from his injury, was startled when he heard the shouting and hurriedly ran out with Second Aunt. They looked at Banggeng in surprise, and Second Aunt asked anxiously, "Banggeng, are you telling the truth? Is Yan Jiecheng really in love with Widow Zhou from the compound next door?"

Banggeng nodded vigorously and said, "It's absolutely true! I saw it with my own eyes. They were sneaking around, so there must be something wrong."

Liu Haizhong frowned and said, "This Yan Jiecheng is too outrageous. How could he do such a thing?"

At this time, the residents in the compound were also attracted by Banggeng's shouting and gathered around. Everyone was talking about it.

"Is this true? How could Yan Jiecheng be in a relationship with Widow Zhou?"

"Is this kid Bang Geng going to say something nonsense?"

"If it's true, it will be a lot of fun."

Someone asked Bang Geng: "Bang Geng, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

Bang Geng puffed out his chest and said, "I must be right. They are very close when they are together."

The discussion among the crowd became louder and louder. Yan Jiecheng heard the noise and ran out in a panic. When he saw everyone gathered there, his face turned pale instantly.

"Banggeng, what nonsense are you talking about?" Yan Jiecheng said angrily.

Bang Geng looked at Yan Jiecheng fearlessly and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. You dare to do it but you don't dare to take responsibility. If you didn't have a good relationship with Widow Zhou, what are you afraid of?"

Yan Jiecheng was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to refute.

The third uncle and aunt were chatting in the house when they suddenly heard Banggeng's shout and were both startled.

The third uncle's heart skipped a beat and he secretly said that it was not good. He knew that Yan Jiecheng's reputation was already very bad. If others knew that he was in a relationship with the young widow, he would definitely not be able to marry again in the future. Thinking of this, the third uncle hurriedly stood up and walked out of the house quickly.

The third aunt was also panicking and hurriedly followed the third uncle. As she walked, she said anxiously: "What should we do? Jie Cheng must not get into trouble again."

The third uncle frowned and walked without stopping, thinking about how to deal with it. They soon came to the yard and saw Banggeng was surrounded by people, while Yan Jiecheng stood aside with a red face.

The third uncle walked forward, glared at Banggeng, and said sternly, "Banggeng, don't talk nonsense. How could Jiecheng be with the young widow? How can you, a child, spread rumors?"

Bang Geng stared back at Uncle San without fear and said, "I'm not making up rumors. I saw them with my own eyes, they were very affectionate with each other."

The third aunt also said quickly: "Banggeng, you can't say anything. If this gets out, how will Jiecheng live in the future?" Banggeng didn't take it seriously and said: "It's Yan Jiecheng's fault for not giving me money and not telling me how to make money. He deserves it."

The third uncle was so angry that he stamped his feet and said, "How can you be so ignorant? If there is anything wrong with Jie Cheng, we can talk it out. You can't slander him like this."

Bang Geng curled his lips and said, "I didn't slander him. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Yan Jiecheng himself."

Yan Jiecheng was extremely anxious at this time, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He knew that if this matter was leaked, he would be doomed. He could not let this happen.

Yan Jiecheng's face flushed red, and he pointed at Banggeng angrily and shouted, "How dare you frame me, you little bastard! When did I ever get together with the young widow? You are slandering me!"

Bang Geng did not back down and responded loudly: "I didn't frame you! I saw it with my own eyes, and you still want to deny it?"

Yan Jiecheng was so angry that he was shaking all over. He said, "You must have seen it wrong! How could I, Yan Jiecheng, do such a thing? You just want to slander me to achieve your goal."

Bang Geng sneered and said, "Humph, don't deny it. Everyone has sharp eyes. Do you think you can fool everyone?"

Yan Jiecheng's eyes flashed with panic, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "I didn't do it, and if you keep talking nonsense, I will be rude to you."

At this time, the residents around began to talk about it. Some people believed Banggeng's words and thought that Yan Jiecheng might really have had an affair with the young widow; some people thought that Banggeng might be framing Yan Jiecheng.

At this time, Yan Jiefang came back from the factory humming a little tune. As soon as he entered the compound, he noticed the unusual atmosphere. Seeing everyone gathered together, and his brother Yan Jiecheng standing in the middle with a red face, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Yan Jiefang walked up quickly and asked what happened. When he learned that Banggeng claimed that Yan Jiecheng and the widow Zhou from the next door compound were in love, his face turned ugly. He knew very well that if this matter was spread, it would definitely be bad for Yan Jiecheng's reputation.

Yan Jiefang frowned, thought for a moment, and then suggested: "Brother, we can't let Banggeng slander us like this. Let's go and confront Widow Zhou and let her prove your innocence."

Yan Jiecheng hesitated after hearing his brother's words. He knew that the only way to save his reputation was to find Widow Zhou and ask her to deny the incident. But he was worried that Widow Zhou would not cooperate or say something unfavorable to him.

Yan Jiefang saw his brother's worry and said, "Brother, don't hesitate. We have no other choice now. If we don't confront Widow Zhou, this matter will definitely get bigger and bigger. By then, your reputation will be ruined."

Yan Jiecheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then let's go find Widow Zhou."

So, under the gaze of everyone, the brothers Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang walked towards the next compound.

The brothers Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang came to the next door compound with full of trepidation. As soon as they entered the door, they were stopped by the old man in charge of the compound, Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai was tall, serious-looking, with a pair of bright eyes and a sense of majesty. As an old security officer, he was extremely vigilant. When he saw the two unfamiliar faces coming in aggressively, he immediately thought they were here to cause trouble.

Uncle Bai frowned and shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing in our compound?" His voice was loud and full of majesty.

Yan Jiefang quickly stepped forward and explained the situation anxiously: "Mr. Bai, we are not here to cause trouble. We are from the compound next door, and my brother was slandered for having an affair with Widow Zhou from your compound. We just want to confront Widow Zhou and prove my brother's innocence."

After hearing what Yan Jiefang said, Mr. Bai's expression did not ease. He quickly calculated in his mind that this matter really had nothing to do with their compound, and once it was spread out, it would not be good for the reputation of their compound. He could not let such a thing happen in the compound under his jurisdiction.

Uncle Bai said seriously: "No, this matter has nothing to do with our compound. You should leave quickly and don't cause trouble here." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to drive them away.

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly said, "Mr. Bai, please be kind. We really just want to prove my innocence. If I don't confront Widow Zhou, my reputation will be ruined." His eyes were full of pleading.

Uncle Bai was unmoved. He said firmly: "I said no and it means no. You'd better leave quickly, or I'll have someone kick you out." His tone was firm and there was no room for negotiation.

Seeing that Mr. Bai was determined not to give in, Yan Jiecheng's anger was instantly ignited. His face turned red and his eyes burned with anger.

"You old thing, if you don't get out of the way today, I'm going to beat you up!" Yan Jiecheng said viciously, his fists clenched tightly as if he would swing out at any time.

As an experienced security officer, how could Mr. Bai be frightened by Yan Jiecheng? He straightened his back, his eyes revealing determination and majesty.

"Hmph, you dare! I've been a security officer for so many years, why should I be afraid of you?" Uncle Bai responded fearlessly.

Uncle Bai immediately called over a dozen residents, and when they heard Uncle Bai's call, they all ran over. Uncle Bai quickly explained the situation, and after listening to it, the residents all showed angry expressions.

"This kid is too arrogant. He dares to act wild in our compound."

"Beat him up and let him know that our compound is not to be messed with."

The residents rolled up their sleeves and walked towards Yan Jiecheng aggressively. Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but feel a little scared. He didn't expect Mr. Bai to call so many people. He was now completely at a disadvantage.

Yan Jiefang quickly grabbed his brother and said, "Brother, don't be impulsive. We can't afford to offend them."

At this time, the third uncle came in a hurry. When he saw Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang surrounded by a group of people, he was extremely anxious. For his son Yan Jiecheng, the third uncle hurried to the front of the Bai uncle with a pleading look on his face.

"Old Bai, please be kind and give way. If this matter is not resolved, my son will be finished." The third uncle spoke anxiously, his eyes full of expectation.

When Mr. Bai saw Mr. San, he showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. He sighed and said, "Old Yan, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I have difficulties. Think about it, if this matter gets out, our compound's reputation will be bad. I have to be responsible for everyone."

After hearing what Bai said, the third uncle became even more anxious. He held Bai's hand tightly and said, "Old Bai, I know you are in trouble. But I can't help it. I only have this one son. If his reputation is ruined, how can he find a wife in the future? Please be flexible for the sake of our friendship."

Mr. Bai shook his head helplessly and said, "Old Yan, I understand how you feel. But I really can't let you in. If anything happens, I can't take the responsibility."

The third uncle continued to plead, "Old Bai, don't worry, we won't cause any trouble. We are just looking for Widow Zhou to clarify the situation. We won't bring any trouble to your compound."

Mr. Bai was still hesitant and said, "Old Yan, it's not that I don't trust you. But this matter is really difficult to handle. What if Widow Zhou is unwilling to cooperate, or says something that is unfavorable to you?"

The third uncle gritted his teeth and said, "Old Bai, I promise that if Widow Zhou is unwilling to cooperate, we will leave immediately and will never cause any trouble to you. Just help me this time."
