The warehouse was filled with the musty smell of old grain.
Su Yuzhen found the bundle in the dark and was about to turn around when a tall figure suddenly blocked the doorway, casting a long shadow in the moonlight behind him.
"Father...Father?"
Su Yuzhen's voice suddenly panicked, and the bundle fell to the ground with a "thud".
"Don't call me Dad! I don't have an unfilial daughter like you!"
Su Jianguo walked into the warehouse step by step, his face ashen.
"Su Yuzhen, Su Yuzhen, you've grown up and become capable, why do you have to learn from others and elope?"
His voice was very soft, yet it made Su Yuzhen tremble all over.
"I...I..."
Su Yuzhen burst into tears.
"Father, please, please let me go! Please! Qiang and I are truly in love!!"
"Let you go? We truly love each other?"
Su Jianguo was so angry he laughed.
"Letting you hang out with that thug in the streets? How old are you? What kind of spell has he cast on you?!"
Su Yuzhen suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with a stubborn light.
"Dad, I love Qiang-ge, and he loves me too! You don't understand love at all!"
"love?"
Su Jianguo sneered.
Without saying anything more, he picked up a shovel from the corner, tried it out, and found it to be very good.
Su Jianguo ignored Su Yuzhen, turned around and walked to the door of the warehouse before speaking leisurely.
"You'll stay in this warehouse. If you dare step out of this door, I'll break your legs."
That cold tone, that dismissive attitude.
Su Yuzhen was so frightened that she trembled all over.
She finally got scared and cowered in the corner, too afraid to move.
Su Jianguo didn't look back, but turned and strode towards the ladder.
Anger burned in his chest, making his vision red; he needed to vent.
He carried the shovel in one hand and climbed the ladder in a few steps.
Outside the wall, Zhang Qiang paced anxiously, a freshly lit cigarette dangling from his lips.
Under the moonlight, Su Jianguo could see Zhang Qiang's face clearly.
His face was pale and bluish, his eyes were slanted, and there was a scar on his chin.
A typical street hustler, trying to abduct his daughter and elope with her.
Su Jianguo did not hesitate.
The wall wasn't very high.
He leaped forward, and the shovel slammed into Zhang Qiang's head with a whoosh.
"ah!"
Zhang Qiang let out a scream and collapsed to the ground.
He struggled to get up, but Su Jianguo's second shovel had already landed, hitting him squarely on the shoulder with a crisp "crack".
"save--"
Before Zhang Qiang could even cry for help, the third shovel struck his mouth, and blood mixed with broken teeth gushed out.
"Help! Catch the thief!"
Su Jianguo suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Thief!"
The quiet night was completely shattered.
One by one, the lights in the nearby courtyards turned on, and the sound of hurried footsteps grew louder as they approached.
Zhang Qiang, his face covered in blood, stared at Su Jianguo in terror.
"Uncle...Uncle, I was wrong...Ah!"
Another shovel hit my leg.
"Who's your uncle?! I'm your grandpa!!"
Su Jianguo roared, and the shovel rained down.
"He even dared to kidnap my daughter!"
Su Jianguo's tactic was very effective.
In less than two minutes, almost all the men in the neighborhood, disheveled and carrying various weapons, arrived at the scene.
The first to arrive was Grandpa Li from next door, who rushed over with a rolling pin in his hand.
Where is the thief?
Here it is!
Su Jianguo stepped on Zhang Qiang's chest.
"That kid, sneaking around like a thief, climbing over my wall in the middle of the night!"
Without saying a word, Grandpa Li hit Zhang Qiang on the head with a rolling pin.
"Damn it, I'll beat you to death, you son of a bitch!"
More and more people gathered around.
These days, opportunities to beat someone up for free are rare.
Now is the perfect opportunity, and the men in the neighborhood can't resist.
Sticks, bench legs, iron hooks...
All sorts of "weapons" were thrown at Zhang Qiang.
The screams gradually faded, and Zhang Qiang curled up on the ground, already panting heavily from the beating.
Su Jianguo stepped aside, panting heavily.
I'm getting old, and my physical strength is seriously failing me.
In the past, he could swing a shovel for an hour without even breaking a sweat.
Now, after playing for just over ten minutes, I'm exhausted.
Inside the storage room of the courtyard house.
Su Yuzhen collapsed to the ground.
She listened to the commotion outside, and Zhang Qiang's screams mixed in with it.
She covered her mouth tightly, tears streaming down her face.
She desperately wanted to rush out and protect her lover with her body.
However, recalling Su Jianguo's cold words...
"If you dare step out of this door, I'll break your legs."
Su Yuzhen still didn't dare to give up her legs for love.
Outside the wall.
"Kill this thief!"
In the crowd, Grandpa Li's rolling pin fell heavily again, striking Zhang Qiang's already bloodied and mangled back.
The neighbors, as if injected with adrenaline, punched and kicked each other, venting their pent-up resentment.
Zhang Qiang was curled up on the ground, unconscious, with blood and foam constantly oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Just then...
"Get out of the way! Police!"
A sharp shout came from the alley entrance.
Two uniformed police officers pushed through the crowd, their flashlight beams sweeping across the chaotic scene.
Clearly, the commotion had successfully attracted the attention of the patrolling police.
The older policeman, Lao Liu, immediately knelt down to check Zhang Qiang's injuries, while the younger Xiao Wang cautiously looked around.
