Chapter 185: Lawless
Tang Dahai yelled at his old companions, this startled them . Someone asked, “Old Tang, what do you mean?”
Tang Dahai looked serious and said “Little Zheng is a student . He is going to college soon . How can we trouble him to be a part of this?”
The rest didn’t understand, “Old Tang, you have raised him for so many years . What’s wrong with asking him for help? I think that he wouldn’t mind . ”
Tang Dahai still shook his head, “No, I won’t . ”
“Old Tang why are you so stubborn, then what do you think we should do?”
Tang Dahai hesitated for a long time and said, “I will go look for Wang Huzi . I don’t believe that he can be so unreasonable . ”
Others shook their heads and sighed listlessly as they watch their effort go down the drain due to Wang Huzi .
Tang Zheng heard everything clearly from outside the courtyard . Of course, he understood his grandfather’s pains . His grandfather didn’t want him to be a part of this to protect him . This was his attitude, as he would always face the danger himself . He let Tang Zheng live under his shelter . Even though he knew that Tang Zheng was not the same as before . He subconsciously was unwilling to let Tang Zheng take a risk .
Tang Zheng’s heart was moved and felt guilty . He walked into the yard and shouted, “Grandpa!”
Immediately, everyone turned around and looked different . A little panic flashed across Tang Dahai’s face and said, “Little Zheng, why are you here?”
“Grandpa, I’m sorry . I didn’t even know that you met some trouble . I did not take care of you well enough . ” Tang Zheng said in guilt .
Tang Dahai waved his hand and said, “Silly child, don’t worry about this small matter . Weren’t you busy with the college entrance exams a while ago . I will solve it soon . Right, everyone?”
As he spoke, he quickly winked at the rest of them . Although, they wanted Tang Zheng to help them, they saw the look Tang Dahai gave them and embarrassingly said, “Yes, Little Zheng, we can solve the problem on our own . You can head back first . ”
Obviously, everyone gave Tang Dahai some face .
Tang Zheng took a deep breath as he suppressed his anger . He said, “Grandpa, take me to Wang Huzi, he dared to destroy your junk shop . I won’t let him live in Chang Heng any longer . ”
Tang Zheng rarely got angry but once his family was involved, his anger would rise exponentially .
Others saw Tang Zheng swearing out such grandiose words . Although they felt it a bit exaggerated, they felt relieved but still advised, “Little Zheng, Wang Hu is not so simple, he has a backing behind him . If you provoke him, we won’t be able to eat here or even live in Chang Heng anymore . ”
“Yes, Little Zheng, let’s be calm . Worse comes to worst, we will not open the junk shop . ” Some people chose to compromise .
Tang Zheng, however, didn’t seem to have heard it, “Grandpa, please lead the way . I will solve this issue with Wang Huzi today and no one will ever try to bully you again . ”
Everyone stopped talking and looked at Tang Dahai, waiting for his decision .
Tang Dahai was uncertain, although he knew that Tang Zheng practised martial arts . Wang Huzi in his impression wasn’t a good match against his grandson’s generation . He was afraid that he would get him into trouble .
Of course, Tang Zheng knew what his grandfather was worried about . So he looked into his eyes and said seriously, “Grandpa, do you believe me?”
“Of course, I believe you . ” Tang Dahai said without hesitation .
“Then believe in me and take me to Wang Huzi . I can really solve this issue and I won’t get into trouble . ” Tang Zheng said confidently .
Tang Dahai looked at the old men’s eyes, a little heart-stirring . If the junk shop was gone, they would find it hard to survive . He had Tang Zheng filial piety while other don’t have a much better fortune .
Finally, Tang Dahai gritted his teeth and asked, “Little Zheng, do you really have a solution and won’t get yourself in trouble?”
Tang Zheng nodded, he too was part of the underworld . But his grandfather and his neighbours had suffered from the bullying by the same group of people which he was a part of . This world was really unfair .
“Then let’s go together, but we must be careful . It’s good to have more people . ” Tang Dahai made up his mind .
The crowd got delighted and shouted one after another, “Yes! Let’s go look for Wang Huzi . But, Little Zheng, you can’t go alone? Wang Huzi is really powerful and he is huge . Why don’t you call a few more friends to fight?” The crowd looked pale .
Tang Dahai’s face sank, “We are going out to reason with him, not fighting . What do you people want to do?”
Tang Zheng said, “Rest assured, we are more than enough . We don’t need other people . ”
Tang Dahai was assured as he watched Tang Zheng . Others were doubtful but no one disagreed . Sixty-seven people walked towards Wang Huzi’s junk shop .
Except for a young man, everyone else were aged between 60 to 70 . They had no fighting power at all .
The people in the vicinity were looking at this strange team .
“Isn’t that Old Tang? They must be looking for Wang Huzi . I heard he destroyed their junk shop last night . ”
“Why are they going for Wang Huzi . Isn’t that asking for trouble?”
“Who said so? Old Tang opened his junk shop to provide food for everyone to eat . I didn’t expect Wang Huzi’s heart be so black, destroying our way of life . ”
“Let’s go and see . Let’s hope they can persuade him . Otherwise Old Tang will suffer a big loss and it’s possible that some may lose their lives . ”
Immediately, many people followed them towards Wang Huzi’s junk shop . The junk shop had been in operation for many years and the scale was much larger . There was also a big wolfhound at the entrance . This was to prevent anyone from stealing things and also act as a warning to others .
Tang Dahai and the rest looked at the big wolfhound fearfully . The big wolf dog jumped on them and barked wildly .
Woof Woof Woof!
An old man was terrified and almost fell to the ground .
“Don’t be afraid . It is chained to the wall . It can’t come . ” Someone said .
A few of them were not relieved and their mood even worsened . This evil hound, like its owner, was frightening .
“Who is it that made my wolf boy unhappy?” There was a loud roar in the yard, and everyone recognized this voice, it was Wang Huzi .
Some people who were fearless a moment ago was immediately frightened as the saw the big wolfhound and hear Wang Huzi’s voice . Their heart started beating rapidly as their face turned pale .
Tang Zheng strode into the courtyard with his grandfather . At a glance, he saw Wang Huzi sitting under a shade with a golden knife and a toothpick in his mouth . Wang Huzi coldly stared at them .
Wang Huzi sneered, “Oh, I was thinking who it was? It turns out that it was just a few old people . Why, what are you doing here early in the morning? Hei hei, I heard that your junk shop was destroyed last night . Congratulations!”
He was extremely arrogant as he didn’t place them in his eyes .
Tang Dahai stared at him and angrily said, “Wang Huzi, a wise man doesn’t do dreadful things . Everyone knows who did it last night . ”
Wang Huzi stared at Tang Dahai in disdain and said, “Why, do you suspect that I did it?”
“It was definitely you and you dare to deny it!” Others shouted .
Wang Huzi grinned and yelled, “Indeed it was I, your father . What can you do about it?”
“You… can’t be so lawless . ”
“Haha, lawless, I like this word . From now on, this whole area is my territory . Wang Huzi is the law . You must follow this Father’s words in case you want to live here, or go to hell . I’d like to see what you can do without this line of work . ”
Most of these old people were childless and had no women . If they did not do this, there was no other way for them to survive . Wang Huzi obviously knew this therefore he had no worries as this territory was his .
Few of them trembled with anger and shouted, “Wang Huzi, you should die a dog’s death!”
“Ha ha, I’m not going to die . This Father will see that you old men don’t die peacefully . You dared to come to my site, I think you really have lived enough . ”
They looked at Tang Dahai in panic and terror, and saw that he was really angered . He took a deep breath and said, “Wang Huzi, everyone in this place rely on you, do you really need to do this? Moreover, you can’t earn money alone . Can’t you give these old men some food to eat?”
“If this Father provides you food, who will feed me? Beside, this Father has a big appetite . If you eat what I have, what will I eat? I will be hungry and I don’t want to have an empty stomach . ” Wang Huzi stood up in anger .
Tang Zheng never moved nor spoke . Since his grandfather wanted to reason with Wang Huzi, he would let him realize that he can’t reason with such people .
Sure enough, Tang Dahai saw Wang Huzi being so unreasonable . He came to negotiate but the other side did not give him the opportunity . It was clear that he was bullying .
Wang Huzi walked up in front of them and looked down at the old group of people in high spirits . He spat out his toothpick and revealed his waxy yellow teeth .
“Wang Huzi, are you really going to be so unreasonable?” Tang Dahai was unwilling to give up and asked .
Wang Huzi scornfully shouted, “Get lost, or else this Father will let the dogs kill you . ”
Tang Dahai did not speak anymore, he faced towards Tang Zheng . The latter understood, he took a step forward in front of several old people as he stared at Wang Huzi eagerly .
Wang Huzi was a meter and eighty-five cm tall while Tang Zheng was a meter and seventy-eight cm tall . Yet, he was still shorter than Wang Huzi by half a head .
Wang Huzi did not take him seriously at all but was rather interested and jokingly said, “Hey, you also brought a helper and a few old people . Very bad, did you bring this kid to die? Let this Father open your eyes . ”
Tang Zheng didn’t say a word as he wasn’t interested in interacting with such people . And the anger in his heart was on the verge of breaking out .
Seeing that Tang Zheng did not say a word, Wang Huzi thought he was afraid . He scorned and sent a punch towards Tang Zheng’s stomach .
