Chapter 197 : Steamrolling Through
On the night Shen Han first arrived, Sun Yu had even gotten into a scuffle with her.
He didn't think this Alpha from afar was particularly impressive.
Combined with his prejudice against Tang Yucai, he naturally didn't take kindly to Shen Han.
It wasn't until this moment that he clearly realized his previous thoughts were quite far from reality.
Just now, when Shen Han pressed her palm on his shoulder, he felt a kind of deadly aura he had heard of but never experienced.
The person standing before him seemed to have suddenly changed into someone else.
Sun Yu couldn't quite describe exactly where the change had occurred.
But he belatedly discovered that this Alpha wasn't as mild as she appeared.
...
Shen Han stepped over the threshold with Fang Yue, showing no obvious emotional changes in her expression.
But in reality, her heart was stirring a bit.
In the few days since arriving in White Light City, besides completing her work, she had also learned quite a bit about Yan Lin's situation.
A certain real estate company wanted to develop a project here, using both soft and hard tactics to force Yan Lin to compromise.
Everyone was advising her to give up this old house, but she was the only one standing firm.
It was precisely because of her stubborn insistence that Shen Han had arrived with her mission.
She once owed Tang Yucai her life.
Now, she wanted to repay that debt of gratitude.
Shen Han's dilemma was that she wanted to help resolve the current predicament, but her own power was limited.
If her wife was willing to step in, none of this would be a problem anymore.
However, knowing that Aunt Lin still had Teacher Tang in her heart, Shen Han felt awkward about suggesting to Gu Junwan that they help.
Lost in thought, she had already arrived at the area where she had fought with people two nights ago.
She saw that the previously empty square where no vehicles were parked now had more than a dozen cars parked haphazardly.
Besides the common business cars and vans, there was also an excavator. The rumbling sound Shen Han had heard in the courtyard earlier came from the latter.
The excavator was kept running, and through the windshield of the cab, the operator could be seen sitting inside smoking.
More than fifty unfamiliar faces gathered in the open space, arguing heatedly with Du Hao and his companions who were blocking their way.
Du Hao was still wearing his intimidating large gold chain.
But no matter how he waved his arms and shouted, he couldn't make his opponents show the slightest fear.
A man with a scar across his chin mockingly said, "Why bother? Guarding that old house won't turn it into a mountain of gold and silver."
Du Hao glared and pushed his hand against the speaker's shoulder. "None of your business!"
The scarred man turned his head and spat, then kicked towards Du Hao's abdomen. "You turtle's egg is just a fool. Won't work as a proper security guard, but insist on being someone else's doorman."
His kick was quite vicious. Du Hao staggered back several steps and couldn't straighten up for a while.
"Even if I guard the door for Aunt Lin my whole life, I won't be an ungrateful dog!"
"What are you acting tough for? If Aunt Lin hadn't saved us back then, you'd have been slashed in the head long ago. Don't you feel guilty when you look in the mirror? That scar on your chin, Aunt Lin even paid for your medical bills!"
Having his past exposed publicly, revealing his ugly face, the scarred man's anger immediately flared.
His face alternated between red and white as he cursed and stepped forward, reaching for Du Hao's neck.
However, at that moment, someone rushed in front of Du Hao first.
Then with lightning speed, she grabbed the scarred man's wrist.
"You're trespassing and causing trouble. Do you really think the law is just for show?"
"We've already called the police. It's up to you whether you leave or not!"
The person who suddenly intervened was naturally Shen Han.
She was no stranger to this kind of coercive scene.
Whether on the blue planet she had traversed from or in this foreign land she now found herself in, the bloodsucking of capital was ubiquitous.
Technology could change life, but it couldn't change human nature.
For those who bullied the weak right in front of her, Shen Han never hesitated to deal with them.
The scarred man twisted his body from the intense pain in his wrist.
If it weren't for saving face, he would have cried out and lain on the ground.
He gritted his teeth without begging for mercy, sweat streaming down his face like a brook.
Seeing this scene, the only middle-aged man in a suit from the scarred man's team quickly spoke up: "How are we trespassing? We're not afraid of the police coming."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of bound paper documents from his briefcase and continued, "We're here to sign a contract. If you hurt someone, you'll be the first one arrested when the police arrive!"
After the suited middle-aged man finished speaking, Shen Han slowly released her grip on the scarred man.
Seeing this, Du Hao, who was trying to straighten up while holding his stomach, and Sun Yu, who had just run to the mansion gate, both showed disappointed expressions.
They didn't really blame Shen Han.
After all, it was already very kind of her to stand up and speak fairly in this situation.
They couldn't expect her to fight hard against more than fifty thugs alone, could they?
They only blamed themselves for not having the ability to help Yan Lin protect the old house that meant so much to her.
Just as Du Hao and Sun Yu were extremely anxious, they heard Shen Han speak again: "Aunt Lin won't be signing any contract with you today."
As she spoke, she drew a short line on the gravel road in front of her with her toe, continuing, "The area behind this line belongs to the mansion's outer courtyard. Whoever steps over the line will bear all consequences!"
While saying this, Shen Han had already secretly made a tactical gesture to Fang Yue.
The girl wearing the bucket hat glanced at the menacing demolition team, silently took off her hat, folded it, and stuffed it into her shoulder bag.
"Who do you think you are! This is a public area, I'll walk wherever I want!"
A burly man pushed his way to the front from the back of the crowd, charging towards Shen Han like a cannonball.
As he exerted force, his feet dug hole after hole in the gravel ground.
Looking at the big man who had rushed in front of her in the blink of an eye, Shen Han didn't move at all.
Fang Yue, standing to her side and slightly behind, suddenly dashed forward, twisted the big man's shoulder and arm, and using his momentum, swung him in a half-arc before throwing him into the crowd like a sandbag.
One stone stirred a thousand waves!
Apart from the seven people who were knocked down, the rest of the thugs started shouting and surrounding Shen Han and Fang Yue.
They had come here today to cause trouble anyway, so they weren't afraid of conflict.
In their view, the two Alphas blocking their way were indeed not easy to deal with.
But they had the advantage in numbers!
Divided up, more than twenty people surrounding one, surely they couldn't lose, right?
However, the reality was that these people's thoughts were a bit too naive.
How could Shen Han give them a chance to launch a human wave tactic?
After Fang Yue threw the big man in her hands, she had already shot into the crowd of thugs like an arrow.
With so many opponents, giving them a light beating would only waste her energy without any effect.
So, Shen Han directly employed anti-joint techniques.
Her every move wasn't particularly large, basically just bending fingers and twisting wrists.
However, these seemingly simple moves caused everyone who came into contact with them to scream and roll on the ground.
Compared to Shen Han, Fang Yue was more expansive in her movements.
Every thug she grabbed didn't escape the fate of being thrown over her shoulder.
This skill looked very flashy, but in reality, it didn't require the user to expend much energy.
Fang Yue was one of the top hand-to-hand combat experts in her special ops team. Using these skills on these outwardly tough but inwardly weak thugs was like child's play for her.
In the open area, dust and smoke filled the air for a moment.
The thugs' cries for their parents and the muffled groans as bodies hit the ground rose and fell in succession.
Du Hao and the other young men from the neighborhood stood by, dumbfounded.
Sun Yu, standing with his mother at the mansion gate, was also wide-eyed and open-mouthed.
He had never seen, let alone imagined, a scene like this before.
Those thugs who were usually as arrogant and domineering as fierce wolves now seemed to have all turned into harmless sheep.
Shen Han and Fang Yue were like cheetahs charging into a flock of sheep, almost steamrolling through.
Standing beside Sun Yu was his mother, Yan Lin.
Her expression was calm, but her emotions were the most turbulent among everyone present.
This time, the developer had directly brought in a demolition team and mobilized such a formidable force.
When Yan Lin first stepped out of the mansion gate, she had actually considered compromising.
After all, no matter how precious the old house was, it wasn't as important as people's safety.
Furthermore, you can't fight city hall.
Yan Lin wasn't short of money and had some influence locally, but compared to the famous real estate group in Solan, she was still far behind.
Looking at the agile Alphas not far away, who could take down a group with each move, for some reason, Yan Lin's eyes became somewhat moist.
The encounters in a person's life are actually quite miraculous.
Yan Lin never imagined that the thing she had guarded for more than a decade, which she was about to lose, would be protected by that person in an unexpected way.
Shen Han had come here at Tang Yucai's request.
So, Yan Lin feeling that the person in her heart had helped her once again wasn't really wrong.
In less than 10 minutes, the dozens of people who had come to cause trouble were completely scattered.
Half of them were lying on the ground wailing.
The other half were terrified and began to flee backwards.
Seeing that the originally certain victory on their side had been disrupted by the two Alpha women, the scarred man who had been the first to be dealt with by Shen Han couldn't sit still any longer.
If they retreated so disgracefully today, what they would lose wasn't just a hefty sum of money.
The "reputation" they had worked so hard to build up would also cease to exist.
Thinking of this, the scarred man immediately got into a van.
He started the engine while grabbing the walkie-talkie in the car and shouted, "Old Jin, smash that broken house for me! Start now!"
A hesitant voice came from the walkie-talkie, presumably the excavator operator: "Won't this cause problems?"
The scarred man started the vehicle, avoiding his comrades, and drove towards Shen Han's position.
His triangular eyes, which already looked somewhat fierce, were now filled with violence.
He pressed the talk button and urged, "Just do what I tell you! Don't waste words! I'll take responsibility for any problems!"
