"Peng, don't bully people and act high and mighty. Do you think we neighbors don't exist?"
"That's right, we don't exist in your eyes!"
Peng Hongbao shoved the villager who had stepped forward, spat on him, and said fiercely, "Damn it, is this a place for you to butt in?"
"Hongbao, don't hit too hard. If they try to extort you, my Ding family, although well-off, doesn't like being scammed."
The woman had fierce eyebrows and green eyes, with a narrow distance between them, clearly indicating a shrewish and vicious nature.
The villagers helped up the person who had fallen to the ground defending Cheng Zhongyi. Although they hurled insults, none dared to step forward to uphold justice anymore.
Just then, Ren Yuanhao brought a wooden stool for Cheng Zhongyi to sit on and respectfully lit him a cigarette.
"Stuttering Hao, why don't you get lost? I said I have a bad temper. If I accidentally hurt you and you blame me, making me stay for three to five years, your wife will probably get angry again."
At this moment, the villagers who knew Ren Yuanhao saw his stubbornness and only said in a low voice, "Haozi, you can't win against this guy, come back."
Ren Yuanhao was unmoved. Instead, he stood up, took two quick steps, snatched the peaches from beside the Ding woman, took a bite, and put them back on the plate. He smiled and praised, "What sweet peaches! Uncle Cheng, giving them to such a wicked woman is truly a waste of good fruit!"
"You scoundrel, what nonsense are you spouting!" the Ding woman shrieked in fury!
"It really does smell awful. Ugly woman, did you not brush your teeth before going out, or did you swallow dung? You reek!" Ren Yuanhao deliberately waved his hand near his nose with a look of disgust, making Wang Xin, who was standing not far away, cover her mouth and giggle.
Seeing his wife insulted, Peng Hongbao immediately stepped forward, his imposing demeanor rising. The joy of beating this kid when they were children seemed to surge back!
"It seems you're itching for a beating!"
"Wait a moment." Ren Yuanhao stood in front of Cheng Zhongyi.
"What, have you changed your mind?"
"No, no, no. I'm also known for my stubborn temper. I'm going to get involved in this matter!"
Ren Yuanhao laughed instead of getting angry. He took out another cigarette from his pocket and lit it. As he exhaled smoke rings, a chilling aura directly assaulted Peng Hongbao's face!
The onlookers watched. Although Peng Hongbao was startled, he didn't want to lose face. He threw a punch at Ren Yuanhao's face!
The surrounding villagers gasped, but saw Ren Yuanhao neither dodge nor evade. He casually held the cigarette in his mouth and flicked the attacker's forearm with his left hand, deflecting the blow. His right hand, however, moved like a gentle breeze across a hill, delivering a resounding slap to Peng Hongbao!
The slap left Peng Hongbao dizzy and disoriented, but before he could even grunt, Ren Yuanhao let out a muffled groan and shook his hand, saying, "Pah, it's been a long time since I've encountered such a thick-skinned scoundrel. My hand actually hurts from slapping you!"
"Well done!"
Someone in the crowd started it, and soon, the words 'well done' erupted like a tide.
"Damn it, you two bastards, what are you waiting for? Hit him!"
Peng Hongbao had never suffered such humiliation. Covering his stinging face with one hand, he roared and gestured to the two workers who had been holding saws earlier!
The two, receiving the order, immediately stepped forward, flanking Ren Yuanhao from the left and right.
"Pah, you two are accomplices in wickedness, you deserve a beating!"
Ren Yuanhao advanced instead of retreating. First, he moved like lightning, flashing to the left, delivering two slaps that left the man dazed and confused. Then, with an extremely strange footwork, he darted towards the man on the other side. Seeing his companion repelled in one encounter, the man became cautious. He picked up a nearly rotten stool and smashed it down at Ren Yuanhao's head!
"Be careful!"
Wang Xin cried out, covering her eyes. In the blink of an eye, that man, along with the stool, was kicked flying three to four meters by Ren Yuanhao, causing the young camphor tree to tremble.
Seeing this, the villagers cheered enthusiastically. However, the louder their cheers, the angrier Peng Hongbao became!
"Good boy, let's see if you can block my knife!"
Peng Hongbao suddenly drew a dagger from his waist and lunged forward, his attacks vicious and deadly, aiming to kill!
Wang Xin watched with a pounding heart. She saw Ren Yuanhao dodge left and right, not rushing to counter, his face showing no expression. After letting up five or six moves, his right hand shot out like lightning, directly targeting Peng Hongbao's knife-wielding arm.
Peng Hongbao thought he was going to disarm him and was about to sidestep. To his surprise, Ren Yuanhao's move was incredibly fast. Although his mind had given the command, his body hadn't fully reacted. His right hand was already tightly gripping him!
Ren Yuanhao applied a slight force with his thumb. Peng Hongbao felt a sharp pain as if his bones were dislocated, and the knife instantly dropped to the ground, plunging into the cold earth.
"Ow, ow, ow, damn it, let go quickly!"
Peng Hongbao roared through gritted teeth. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Ren Yuanhao say sternly, "You scoundrel, do I need to teach you how to beg for mercy?"
"Stuttering Hao, if you dare touch me, I guarantee you'll regret it! You know the power of the Ding family, right!"
"Hmph, if you know what's good for you, let go of my husband quickly! You can't afford the wrath of the Ding family!" The Ding woman was extremely anxious, her brows still furrowed, maintaining her shrewish expression.
Ren Yuanhao smiled instead of getting angry, increasing the pressure on his hand by two points. "Oh, you've become a son-in-law of a wealthy family now? Quite confident, aren't we? Well, why don't you guess if I care about that?"
"Don't think I'm joking with you. If you don't let go, my wife can get rid of you with one phone call!"
As soon as Peng Hongbao finished speaking, he felt a fierce burst of energy rush towards his face!
'Slap!'
"This slap is for the elders and folks you've oppressed!"
'Slap!'
"This slap is for the honest and kind Uncle Cheng!"
'Slap!'
"This slap is for the punches Cheng Li took for me back then!"
After three slaps, several blood marks appeared on Peng Hongbao's face. Disoriented, he was then thrown into the thick mud like a dead dog by Ren Yuanhao.
This series of actions was exhilarating, and the villagers cheered. Ren Yuanhao knew that if he stopped here, it would not only harm Uncle Cheng but also be detrimental to the villagers. He immediately picked up the knife from the ground and walked towards the Ding woman like a god of slaughter.
"You, don't come any closer, what do you want to do!"
The Ding woman was now deathly pale. She had seen unreasonable people before, but she had never encountered someone so brazenly defying authority.
Ren Yuanhao grabbed a handful of mud and smeared it directly onto the woman's face. He held the knife horizontally, and with a flash of cold light, a lock of black hair fell!
The Ding woman was trembling all over, tears streaming down her face.
