Chapter 362 The Landlord
Chen Yang walked at the end, watching the five people ahead, including Qin Dahhu, with anger surging within him.
If the encounter today had not been with them, if he had not followed along, and if only Meng Qingxue, Liu Ran, and the others had come for a picnic, the evening would have surely ended in tragedy.
It was highly likely that Meng Qingxue would have died by a hunting rifle, and because the killer was a very young child, no one would have been held accountable.
As for Qin Dahhu and his ilk, they would have gone unpunished. In fact, they could have committed many other wicked deeds before Liu Ran and the others were rescued.
This was a place where the legal system was incomplete.
Although those who designed the laws intended to protect children, they had inadvertently protected a group of beasts.
In today's society, children in their teens were exposed to far more information than adults were in the past. Coupled with good nutrition and early development, they were no longer frail youngsters.
The wickedness in their hearts even surpassed that of adults in previous eras.
Under such circumstances, even if they violated the law, they would still be protected and could not be publicly tried. They could only be disciplined.
They arrived at the entrance of Donghuang Village.
Chen Yang spoke, "Stop right there. Go home one by one. I want to see what kind of parents you have, to raise such creatures."
Mao Dan, who was in front, suddenly fell to his knees with a thud. His legs had been trembling for a long time.
Chen Yang could see that Mao Dan was genuinely terrified. After all, he had been forced by Qin Dahhu to do these bad things.
Moreover, being the youngest, he was also the most cowardly.
After today's events, it was unlikely he would ever be brave again. He would always remember what happened today when he thought of doing bad deeds.
Mao Dan trembled and said to Chen Yang, "Our house... our house is just ahead. I... I'll take you there."
Chen Yang nodded. He could see that Mao Dan had learned his lesson, and Chen Yang had no intention of punishing him further.
Just then, Li Gousheng, who was standing nearby, let out a sharp whistle.
The next moment, five large black dogs from within the village rushed out, barking.
In the darkness, their eyes gleamed like titanium.
The four or five large black dogs rushed towards Li Gousheng and Chen Yang.
Qin Dahhu also seized the opportunity and shouted loudly, "Quick, bite him to death."
Li Gousheng also roared in anger, "Heibei, quickly tell your companions to join you and bite this bastard to death."
The four or five black dogs were all black German Shepherds, powerful fighters.
It was also evident that Qin Dahhu, Li Gousheng, and the others had trained these black dogs a lot.
As expected, the German Shepherds, upon hearing Li Gousheng's command, lunged towards Chen Yang.
Chen Yang let out a cold laugh upon seeing this. This time, he held nothing back. He knew that once dogs started biting people, they could no longer be educated.
He raised his stick and with a "bang," struck the head of the first dog that leaped up. The dog let out a yelp and fell to the ground, motionless.
Chen Yang swung his stick down rapidly onto the dog's neck. After a few more blows, all five dogs lay on the ground, unable to move.
Qin Dahhu, Li Gousheng, and the others took advantage of this opportunity to flee into the village. Chen Yang's lips curled into a cold smile; he was utterly enraged.
If he didn't thoroughly teach these people a lesson tonight, Chen Yang was certain they would not spare him, nor Liu Ran and the others, in the future.
If these disgusting scoundrels were allowed to lurk in the shadows, while open attacks were easy to dodge, hidden attacks were hard to guard against, and something would eventually happen.
Chen Yang chased after them and with a "bang," struck Li Gousheng with his stick.
This time, Chen Yang's stick landed directly on his knee. With a "crack," Li Gousheng collapsed to the ground.
This comminuted fracture meant that his right leg was completely ruined and would never recover. The knee was a very fragile joint; once destroyed, it could not be repaired.
Chen Yang's expression was devoid of emotion. He brought his stick down again. With two more "bangs," Li Gousheng lay on the ground, screaming and motionless, his legs completely crippled.
Chen Yang then pursued and knocked the other two hooligans to the ground with his stick, rendering them permanently disabled.
This way, even if they wanted revenge, even if they still wanted to do evil in the future, they would only be useless cripples leaning on crutches.
Ordinary people would no longer have to fear them, and no one would have to worry about their retaliation or their ruthless hooliganism anymore.
Since he had already taken action, Chen Yang naturally would not leave any loose ends. It was clear these people were beyond redemption.
Chen Yang knew that breaking their legs today was actually saving their lives. Otherwise, given their disposition, they would surely engage in all sorts of evil when they grew up, and murder and arson would be within the realm of possibility.
Ultimately, they would be punished by the law.
By crippling them for life today, he had severed their path to crime and, in a way, saved their lives.
After dealing with Li Gousheng and the other two with his stick, Chen Yang pursued Qin Dahhu. Qin Dahhu ran away with a scream.
Chen Yang sneered, looking at Qin Dahhu's retreating back. Such a person, a robust man of 1.8 meters and over 90 kilograms, who looked over twenty years old at first glance, was claimed to be under sixteen according to his ID. It was ridiculous, utterly preposterous.
Chen Yang was eager to see what kind of influential figure his father was, to be able to pull off such a deception.
Chen Yang followed behind Qin Dahhu, his stick in hand, walking towards the front.
Soon, Qin Dahhu violently kicked open the door of a mansion ahead. Chen Yang looked up at the house and was taken aback.
In a village like Donghuang, where most residents lived in simple tiled houses, this family had built a three-story villa. The sheer size of the property clearly indicated they were of the landlord class.
Chen Yang walked to the entrance and kicked the door open. Qin Dahhu was already sprinting into the house, shouting, "Dad! Dad, come out and save me! Someone's trying to kill me! Dad, come out quickly!"
As Qin Dahhu spoke, he slammed open a room door. Both of his arms were broken, and this movement caused immense pain to his fractured limbs.
Chen Yang walked in and directly kicked open the room door, following Qin Dahhu into the house.
Qin Dahhu was terrified. He shouted loudly into the house, "Dad! Dad, where are you? Come out quickly! If you don't come out soon, I'll be beaten to death."
Chen Yang scanned the room, then his nose twitched. A strange smell of incense smoke wafted into his nostrils. This was unlike ordinary incense; it carried a faint, fetid odor.
Chen Yang's brow furrowed sharply. A word suddenly came to his mind: "Chuma Xian" (a type of shamanistic practitioner).
Chen Yang immediately followed the scent of incense smoke and strode into a room on the east side of the villa.
