Grandpa Zhang's face twitched, and he really wanted to sit down on the ground and ask, "Who the hell are all these people in the Red Star Courtyard?"
That kid from Old Yan's family was acting way too aggressively; anyone with eyes could see he was intent on killing someone.
Now another guy is pulling out a gun. He just doesn't understand how the world has changed!
"No...no objection, definitely no objection."
Sweat poured down Grandpa Zhang's forehead, and his calves were cramping; he almost collapsed to the ground.
Wang Dabao smacked the big man on the forehead twice more: "What about you? If you have any objections, hurry up and say them."
"No...no, I won't do it again."
The big man also went limp. He had only lived for less than thirty years and hadn't lived enough. He had just hooked up with a widow a couple of days ago and hadn't had his fill of fun yet. He couldn't just die here like this.
Wang Dabao put the gun back in his pocket and tossed it into his spatial storage. He then slapped the big man hard on the shoulder, almost knocking him to the ground. "Good that you have no objections. We're just neighbors, why make such a fuss? Watch your words next time, or I won't be so lenient."
Seeing that Wang Dabao had put the gun away, the big man hurriedly wiped his sweat, then realized that he might have been a little cowardly just now.
"I want to ask you what you do for a living, and why you have a gun?"
"Want to know? Then let's have a bare-handed match. If you beat me, I'll tell you."
Wang Dabao waved his hand, indicating that we should start fighting bare-handed.
The big man shook his head. He wasn't stupid. The man opposite him looked to be in his early twenties, but his eyes were sharp. He knew the man was no match for him in a fight, but what if the man suddenly pulled out a gun?
Wang Dabao could tell that the other party was hesitant, so in order to free up his hands and feet, he had no choice but to take out the gun again.
Upon seeing this, Yan Jiekuang hurriedly ran over to take the gun, saying, "Uncle, I'll hold it for you, you can beat him up without worry."
Wang Dabao suddenly realized, "How much more foolish of me to let you have a gun? Before I even make a move, you'll be the one who shoots the other person!"
"Old Liu, here you go."
Wang Dabao roared, and Liu Haizhong rushed over to grab the gun, his face beaming with immense honor.
Grandpa Zhang across from him was a little confused. This young man was no ordinary person. Didn't he see Liu Haizhong's obsequious expression? People were calling this old man Liu Haizhong "Old Liu," and Liu Haizhong was actually quite happy about it.
"Is it okay now?"
The burly man still hesitated: "What if you retaliate against me afterwards?"
Wang Dabao was speechless. "You've got all that muscle for nothing." He said, "I am Wang Dabao, the head of the security department of the steel rolling mill, and also the deputy director of the police station. That's why I carry a gun. You don't need to suspect that I'm some kind of enemy agent."
"If you beat me today, I'll get you into the security department. Beating me means you're capable, and the security department needs talent. If you can't beat me, then you'll take the beating, and we'll be friends afterwards. I keep my word!"
Believe it or not, some people in the courtyard were actually planning to report them after they left, but upon hearing Wang Dabao reveal his identity, they instantly abandoned that idea.
Most of the residents in the compound work at the steel rolling mill. If you ask around carefully, you're sure to find out the name of the head of the security department. There's no way to fake it; there's no possibility or room for making things up.
Their appearance speaks for itself; they seem to be from the Hongxing Courtyard. I believe this information will match up easily.
This time, everyone believed it.
Seeing the calm expressions on the faces of the other elderly men in the Hongxing Courtyard, Grandpa Zhang knew that Wang Dabao was definitely not lying.
The head of the security department at the steel rolling mill must be a very high-ranking official, and also the deputy director of the local police station. How could anyone dare to offend someone like that? He wouldn't dare even if you beat him to death!
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Section Chief Wang, right? You can call me Lao Zhang, or even Xiao Zhang."
With a broad smile, Grandpa Zhang strode over to Wang Dabao. "Section Chief Wang, I apologize to you. It was all a misunderstanding before. Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, there's no need for us to fight and hurt our relationship. Our two hospitals will still need to visit each other often in the future."
Before Wang Dabao could reply, the burly man opposite him hesitated and spoke again: "Uncle, I...I want to give it a try."
Who wouldn't want to give it a try? Even Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang wanted to try, even though the chances of winning were very, very small.
But what if Wang Dabao doesn't perform well? That's the security department of the steel rolling mill, anyone can get in!
Now Grandpa Zhang was in a dilemma. The big man was 1.9 meters tall and weighed almost 200 pounds, while Wang Dabao was at most 1.8 meters tall and weighed 150 pounds. Could he withstand a punch? What if he injured this high-ranking official?
"Alright, since you want to try it, let's put it out there and give it a go. Everyone, make room for the two of us."
Wang Dabao laughed heartily.
It's good that Sha Zhu wasn't there, otherwise he would definitely have laughed at Da Han.
You idiot! Someone else is a capable security chief; he could kick you around several times with one kick. I'm a prime example.
The courtyard was now quite lively; such a fight was a rare sight.
After getting into position, the big man didn't dare to make a move. He knew that since the other party dared to bring it up, he couldn't be without some skill.
Wang Dabao smiled and leaned forward, but the big man quickly dodged.
After a few tentative moves, Wang Dabao had no choice but to deliberately expose an opening to his opponent, followed by an over-the-shoulder throw. However, he used a bit too much force, and before the big man could get up, he was already too exhausted.
After a while, the big man got up and his first words were "I admit defeat."
Wang Dabao put the gun back in his pocket, waved his hand, and ordered Liu Haizhong and the others to take Grandpa Zhang away.
This terrified Grandpa Zhang, who kicked his legs wildly and cried for help.
"What are you yelling about? Didn't you say we'd seen your courtyard? We'll take you to see ours too. It's nothing. After we're done, we'll invite you to have a meal."
Wang Dabao was speechless as he watched Grandpa Zhang, who was about to wet his pants in fear. In the end, he called on the big man who had just been beaten to join him.
All the way, Grandpa Zhang kept saying that he didn't need to look anymore and kept offering cigarettes to everyone, but Liu Guangtian just wouldn't let him go.
Upon entering the Hongxing Courtyard, Grandpa Zhang immediately said he wanted to go back after he had finished looking around.
This annoyed Wang Dabao and the others. Couldn't you just take a proper look? It's like we're bullying them.
"Old Zhang, actually, this joint sanitation inspection was initiated by Brother Da Bao, and he's the one who contacted the street office. Do you think we need to come and investigate you?"
Yan Bugui, with a cigarette given to him by Lao Zhang dangling from his mouth, smiled smugly to the side.
"Ah? So that's what happened. This is a huge misunderstanding. There's really no need to look anymore. I'll go back right now. It's all a misunderstanding." Old Zhang was extremely nervous, and kept saying he wanted to go back, just like his wife had returned to her eighteen-year-old self, waiting for him to come back and favor her.
With no other option, Wang Dabao had Liu Guangtian and Da Han help Old Zhang walk around the yard before it was over.
By this time, it was getting dark, and how much could be seen depended on Old Zhang's eyesight.
Old Zhang was helped back by the big man. This trip to the Hongxing Courtyard was too scary. Old Zhang vowed in his heart that he would never provoke the people in this courtyard again.
They're always stabbing people with broken porcelain shards or pointing guns at their foreheads—who can stand that?
Even if everyone says it's a misunderstanding, it won't work. They still have to carry you around the lap, which is both tiring and scary!
