Sixty square meters is not small; compared to the shed and small room in the yard, it is much more spacious.
Wang Yuan had only reserved a room for the man in front of him because he had heard that the man was wealthy and could afford to pay.
Chen Jing shook his head: "Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't know so many people would live in one courtyard. I'm not used to it, so forget it."
Wang Yuan and the two young men exchanged a glance and decided to leave without even entering the door.
They finally found an opportunity to bring him here, and if they let him leave like this, wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?
"What? You don't like the courtyard I left for you? Heh!"
Wang Yuan turned around with a cold smile and strode to block his way.
Two other young men also gathered around, sneering repeatedly: "Brother Yuan saved you the biggest room, and you're still being picky?"
"You don't want the house Yuan-ge left? You're really disrespecting me!"
Chen Jing's face darkened. However, looking further inside, he saw not only three young men surrounding him, but also many people peeking out from the courtyard behind him, all staring at him menacingly.
Apart from a few women who looked very tired, the rest were all burly men, clearly not good people.
In such an environment, let alone letting Ji Xia come and stay, he wouldn't even want to stay there by himself.
Chen Jing left the courtyard and said in a deep voice, "Brother Yuan, I'm sorry, I want to find a quiet house to study in. This kind of crowded courtyard is not suitable."
"Fuck your mother, you came here to mess with me instead of renting, do you really think I'm a pushover?"
A fist slammed down, but Chen Jing caught it with one hand, grabbed Wang Yuan's wrist and pulled hard. Wang Yuan felt a numbness in his wrist, and then Chen Jing lifted him onto his shoulder and threw him away.
The other two's expressions immediately changed. Was this someone who knew martial arts?
But by then, they had already started fighting, and since they hadn't provoked them, they had. They exchanged a glance and the two of them shouted, "Damn it, brothers, let's go!"
Four or five people rushed out of the courtyard and, together with the two young men from before, surrounded and encircled the group.
Chen Jinggang threw Wang Yuan out, and with a shove of his shoulder, knocked two people to the sides aside.
Looking back, he saw six or seven people rush out of the courtyard. Although he was good at fighting, he wasn't arrogant enough to be able to fight a whole group of people. He turned around and rushed out into the alley.
"Stop him, don't let him run out of the alley."
Six or seven people surrounded and entangled Chen Jing from the front and back, finally intercepting him just before he reached the alley exit and blocking his way.
A police car drove through the alley, then slowly reversed and stopped opposite the alley's exit.
Two tall men in plain clothes got out of the car and blocked the alley exit.
Chen Jing had dealt with the thugs badly, leaving them bruised and battered, lying sprawled on the ground. When they saw that one of the men was the head of the local police station, their expressions changed.
On the other hand, Chang Feng shook his head and sighed as he watched Chen Jing skillfully throw the last thug to the ground.
"Comrade Chen Jing, you resolutely refused my invitation just so you could fight and act violently here?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Jing turned around and saw that it was Chen Jun's superior. He immediately stopped punching and kicking.
He pointed to a group of thugs on the ground, as if to say that they were the ones who had ganged up on him.
But seeing the miserable state of the thugs all over the ground, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
He hesitated for a moment, then chuckled and looked up: "Captain Chang, I was just having a friendly conversation with them, giving them some pointers on how to be a good person. Really, I love talking to people about principles. If you don't believe me, you can ask them."
Police Chief Liu stared at Wang Yuan and the group of thugs with a grim face: "Wang Yuan, what's going on here?"
When Wang Yuan and the others saw Director Liu, they immediately panicked.
Although they were the ones who got beaten up, if you look into the cause of the incident, they were the ones who suffered the loss.
The man who beat them up didn't seem to be an ordinary person either; they'd really messed up this time.
He quickly got up and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right. We were just exchanging ideas with Brother Chen about how to be a good person, and then having a friendly discussion, asking Brother Chen for guidance."
"Yes, yes, Director Liu, we're all brothers. I heard Brother Chen has some skills, so I just wanted to learn from him."
Seeing the friendly expressions of the group of thugs, Chief Liu couldn't help but glance at Chang Feng, then at Chen Jing, and abandoned his idea of taking them back to the police station for education.
Even the most oblivious person could tell that his old comrade-in-arms had some connection with Chen Jing.
He turned and glanced at the crowd: "Why aren't you getting up? Fighting in broad daylight in the street, are you asking for trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuan immediately grinned ingratiatingly and said, "I'll get up right away, right away!"
He rolled over and wiped the blood from his nose and face with his sleeve. Turning back, he yelled at his brothers, "Get up! Get up now! What are you all standing there for?"
The group of underlings scrambled to their feet, not daring to utter a sound, huddled in a corner, trembling with fear as they awaited their fate.
Chang Feng looked at everyone helplessly for a while before finally saying, "How long do you plan to stay here? Where's your partner?"
"She went to attend a training course. We'll probably stay in Beijing for a month or two."
Chang Feng nodded, took out a small notebook from his pocket, and wrote down his address and office phone number: "I'll be staying in Beijing for a while. Come visit me when you have time. There's something I want to talk to you about."
As he spoke, he tore off a page and handed it over. Chen Jing accepted it generously and laughed heartily.
"No problem, Captain Chang. Let's grab a bite to eat sometime when you're free."
Chang Feng waved goodbye to Director Liu and left, showing no intention of taking the group of thugs back to the branch office for education. The group of thugs breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Jing put away the note, turned around with a half-smile, and said, "Now, tell me, why did you lure me here?"
Wang Yuan didn't dare to lay a hand on him anymore, and gave him a fawning smile: "Brother Chen, I was blind to your greatness."
Chen Jing snorted coldly and pointed to the two young men behind him, the same ones who had followed him and Ji Xia that day: "These two are the ones who have been targeting us, aren't they? Tell me, what exactly do you two want?"
"Nothing much, Brother Chen. We just heard you were looking for a place to rent, and since you're so generous, and Brother Wang happened to have a spare room, we thought we'd bring you over."
Of course, they didn't expect Chen Jing to be a martial arts expert. They just thought that he had a beautiful fiancée and seemed to have some wealth, so they wanted to take advantage of him.
Now, after they've been dealt with, it's been discovered that this person is brothers with Director Liu's friend, and they've lost all interest in him.
Chen Jing curled his lips: "Generous? You think you can squeeze money out of me? I'm the one who always squeezes money out of others, it's rare that you have the guts to do that."
"No, Brother Chen, we promise we'll never have that thought again."
Wang Yuan was about to shake his head and wave his hand when Chen Jing smiled faintly: "Actually, it's not wrong for you to want to make money. Who doesn't want to make money? However, there are methods to making money. Are you interested in joining me?"
