Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1128 Brave Xu Damao
The atmosphere in the yard seemed to freeze, and the tension was suffocating. Xu Damao and Han Xifang glared at each other, and neither of them was willing to give in first. Xu Damao frowned, and his eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and anger. He regretted it in his heart, thinking that he really shouldn't have come forward to meddle in such trivial matters. Now, he really fell into a trap. He gritted his teeth secretly, but didn't know what to do.

Yan Jiecheng and the third uncle were trembling on the side. Yan Jiecheng's face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of fear and helplessness. He leaned against the third uncle tightly, his body trembling constantly, as if he would collapse to the ground at any time. The third uncle's face was also full of fear. He looked at Xu Damao and Han Xifang, his heart full of despair, not knowing how this disaster would end.

Han Xifang also saw Xu Damao's fear at this time, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug sneer. "Humph, I knew you were incompetent. I have been in the underworld for so many years, but I was fooled by this brat Yan Jiecheng. Today I will definitely get back at him." Han Xifang's voice was cold and fierce, and his eyes were flashing with anger.

He waved his hand disdainfully at Xu Damao and said, "Get out of the way and don't get in the way here." Han Fangfang's tone was full of provocation and insult.

As the second uncle, how could Xu Damao easily give way at this time? His face flushed red, and he shouted angrily: "Don't be so arrogant, this is a courtyard, not a place for you to act wild." Xu Damao tried to suppress Han Xifang with his identity, but there was a tremor in his voice, revealing his inner fear.

Han Xifang ignored Xu Damao's words. A fierce look flashed in his eyes. He suddenly raised his fist and hit Xu Damao's face hard. With a "bang", Xu Damao felt a sharp pain on his face and his body fell backwards involuntarily. His eyes widened, full of surprise and pain, and he let out a scream.

Han Fangfang looked at Xu Damao falling to the ground and sneered: "You are the only one who wants to fight with me? You overestimate your own abilities." His face was full of arrogance and complacency, as if he was showing everyone how powerful he was.

The yard was in chaos, and the residents were stunned by the sudden scene. Some people cried out in surprise, and some rushed forward to help Xu Damao.

Since Xu Damao started hanging out with Wang Weidong, he had a certain status in the courtyard. He never thought that he would suffer such a big loss here today. He felt a sharp pain in his nose and touched it. His nose was covered with blood. At this moment, Xu Damao's anger rose up, and his eyes instantly turned red, like an angry lion.

"How dare you hit me!" Xu Damao roared, ignoring the pain on his face, and rushed towards Han Xifang. He waved his fist with a desperate momentum. Xu Damao's first punch went straight to Han Xifang's cheek. Han Xifang subconsciously dodged to the side, and although he avoided the frontal impact of the blow, Xu Damao's fist still grazed his ear, causing him to feel a burning pain.

Han Xifang was also angered by Xu Damao's sudden counterattack, and he fought back. He raised his leg and tried to kick Xu Damao in the abdomen. However, his movements were obviously a little slow, and Xu Damao easily caught his foot and twisted it hard. Han Xifang suddenly lost his balance, his body swayed a few times, and he almost fell to the ground.

At this moment, people realized that although Han Fangfang looked powerful and aggressive, he was actually a weakling. His boxing and kicking skills had no rules at all, and he was not very strong, so he was no match for the angry Xu Damao.

Han Fangfang was a little flustered when he saw that he was at a disadvantage. He knew that if he continued like this, he would definitely suffer, so he quickly shouted to the gangsters: "What are you still standing there for? Come and help!" There was a hint of anxiety and fear in his voice.

When the hooligans heard Han Xifang's shout, they immediately reacted and surrounded Xu Damao. Some of them hugged Xu Damao from behind, trying to restrict his movements; others waved their fists and hit Xu Damao. Xu Damao was in trouble all of a sudden. He struggled hard to get rid of the hooligans' restraints. He twisted his body and hit back with his elbows at the hooligans who approached him.

Qin Jingru was immediately anxious when she saw Xu Damao was at a disadvantage in the fight with Han Xifang and the gangsters. Her eyes, which were already wide open due to nervousness, were now filled with anxiety and worry. She turned around without hesitation and shouted to the residents of the compound: "Everyone come and help! We can't watch Xu Damao being bullied!"

However, the residents were all hesitant at first, looking at each other, no one wanted to offend those hooligans easily. After all, these hooligans were usually domineering, and everyone was afraid of retaliation after getting into trouble.

Qin Jingru looked at the residents' reactions and became even more anxious. She stamped her feet and shouted again: "How can you do this? We all live in the same courtyard. If we don't care about Xu Damao today, and this matter gets out, then our courtyard will be too embarrassed to face people in the future! How will others see us? Are we just going to watch our own people being bullied?" Qin Jingru's voice was filled with anger and helplessness. She tried to arouse the residents' sense of unity in this way.

After hearing what Qin Jingru said, the residents showed a trace of shame and hesitation on their faces. They began to weigh the pros and cons in their minds, thinking that if they really stood by and watched, the reputation of the compound would indeed be affected in the future. Moreover, they saw each other every day, so if they did not help at this time, it would really be unreasonable.

Finally, several young and strong residents took the lead and stood up. "Qin Jingru is right. We can't let outsiders run wild in our yard." A young man said loudly with a hint of determination on his face.

With someone taking the lead, the other residents also gathered their courage. "Let's go and help together." Everyone shouted and rushed towards the fighting.

All of a sudden, the residents of the courtyard came forward, some holding the hooligans, some helping Xu Damao. The courtyard suddenly became more lively, with shouting and calls for peacemaking.

At this time, Wang Weidong just happened to have something to ask Xu Damao. He walked to the courtyard with steady steps and heard a noisy noise coming from the courtyard from afar. He frowned slightly, a trace of doubt surged in his heart, and quickened his pace towards the courtyard. When he came to the gate of the courtyard, he found that the gate was closed, and a bad premonition came to his mind. He raised his hand and pushed the door a few times, but the door did not move at all, as if it was blocked by something from the inside. Wang Weidong's face became serious, and he realized that something must have happened inside.

Without any hesitation, he took a step back, then kicked the door hard. With a loud bang, the door was kicked open by his powerful force. Wang Weidong's eyes revealed a sense of majesty and decisiveness. He walked into the yard without hesitation, ready to see what happened.

The chaotic scene in the yard instantly caught his eyes. The shouts and sounds of fighting were intertwined, and it was a mess. Wang Weidong quickly scanned the whole scene, trying to find the key to the matter in the chaos. His arrival seemed to freeze the air instantly. Some people in the yard saw him as if they had seen a savior, and a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes.

Seeing Wang Weidong coming back, Xu Damao felt like he had found his backbone, and he didn't care about fighting with Han Xifang anymore. He immediately broke away from the chaotic crowd, with grievance and anger on his face, and hurriedly ran towards Wang Weidong.

Xu Damao ran up to Wang Weidong, his eyes slightly red, and said in a crying voice: "Director Wang, you are finally back. Look, how I was bullied by Han Xifang and others." He pointed to the bruises on his face and his messy clothes, trying to let Wang Weidong see his miserable condition.

Wang Weidong frowned, looking at Xu Damao's embarrassed appearance, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes. He glanced at the chaotic scene in the yard, then looked at Xu Damao, and asked in a calm tone but with an unquestionable majesty: "What is going on?"

Xu Damao took a deep breath, calmed down, and then recounted the details of Yan Jiecheng taking one thousand yuan from someone. "Director Wang, it's like this. Yan Jiecheng took one thousand yuan from Han Xifang, saying that he could help him get a bus ticket, but he didn't get the ticket, didn't return the money, and kept hiding. Han Xifang came to our house and started a commotion in the yard. I thought I was the second uncle and couldn't just ignore the matter, so I came to mediate, but who knew they were so unreasonable and even beat people up." Xu Damao said while secretly observing Wang Weidong's face.
The residents in the courtyard also quieted down and looked at Wang Weidong. At this moment, Wang Weidong stood in the middle of the courtyard with a serious expression and a feeling of depression. He glared at Yan Jiecheng fiercely, thinking that this guy was just fooling around. Yan Jiecheng's usual behavior was not very reliable, and this time he caused such a big trouble that the entire courtyard was in turmoil.

If it were in the past, Wang Weidong would definitely ignore Yan Jiecheng, let alone help him. He knew Yan Jiecheng was selfish and unreliable, and he usually felt that the trouble caused by such people was his own fault. But now the situation is different. The courtyard has been messed up by Han Xifang and his gang, and it is a mess everywhere. If he doesn't care anymore, how can he, as an old man, have face? As the manager of the courtyard, it is his responsibility to maintain the order and peace of the courtyard. If this matter is not handled well, his prestige in the courtyard will also be affected in the future.

Han Fangfang also recognized Wang Weidong at this time. He rolled his eyes and thought that maybe he could find a breakthrough from Wang Weidong. So he walked forward and said with a flattering smile on his face: "Wang Weidong, I know you have a way. As long as you give me a bus ticket, this matter will be over. I don't want to make a big deal, it will be embarrassing for everyone."

Wang Weidong couldn't help but almost laughed out loud when he heard Han Xifang's words. A hint of mockery appeared on his face, and his eyes revealed determination and disdain. "Humph, do you think I will accept your blackmail? It's a joke." Wang Weidong's voice was loud and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.

He looked straight at Han Xifang and continued, "Not only will I not give you a bus ticket, I will also hand you over to the police station. You caused trouble in our courtyard and bullied our residents. Do you think you can escape legal sanctions?" Wang Weidong's words were loud and clear. His attitude was firm and he showed no intention of compromise.

Han Xifang was furious when he heard Wang Weidong's words. His face turned red and his eyes flashed with anger. "Wang Weidong, don't be so arrogant. There are so many of us. Do you think you are our opponent?" Han Xifang said viciously, trying to threaten Wang Weidong with the number of people.

The hooligans behind him also started shouting, rubbing their hands and preparing to fight. The atmosphere in the yard became tense again, and the residents were all worried about Wang Weidong. However, Wang Weidong was not afraid at all. He stood there calmly, his eyes full of confidence.

"So what if you have more people? I, Wang Weidong, have never been afraid of you little hooligans. I'm going to see today who of you dares to cause trouble here." Wang Weidong's voice was full of domineering. His eyes swept across Han Fangfang and those little hooligans, as if telling them that he would not be intimidated by their threats.

When Han Fangfang first heard Wang Weidong's firm and majestic words, he was indeed shocked and frightened by Wang Weidong's momentum. He stood there, a hint of hesitation and fear flashed in his eyes, and his body tensed up slightly, as if he was suppressed by Wang Weidong's aura.

However, he quickly came to his senses and began to think carefully. He looked at Wang Weidong standing there alone, and the fear in his heart was gradually replaced by greed and arrogance. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a malicious smile, thinking to himself: "Humph, Wang Weidong is alone, why should I be afraid of him?"

He turned around and shouted to the gangsters, "Brothers, don't be afraid of him! He is just one person, and there are so many of us. Are we still afraid of him? Come on! As long as you beat Wang Weidong, I will give each gangster 1 dollar!" Han Fangfang's voice was full of incitement and temptation, and his eyes flashed with ferocity and cunning.

The hooligans were still a little hesitant at first, but when they heard Han Fangfang say there was a reward, they immediately became excited. Their eyes lit up, as if their fighting spirit was ignited. "Go! Beat him!" One of the hooligans shouted and rushed towards Wang Weidong first. The other hooligans also shouted, waving their fists, and pounced on Wang Weidong like a group of hungry wolves.

Han Fangfang stood at the back with a smug look on his face. He crossed his arms and prepared to watch the show. "Wang Weidong, today I'll let you know how powerful I am!" he said viciously.

Han Fangfang has already made up his mind. As long as he gives Wang Weidong a good beating today and Wang Weidong gives in, he might be able to get the bus ticket.
