    It fits the bill perfectly. The most ruthless courtyard house, a blatant disaster from the start, a staged accident involving Li Huaide, sending the retirement team to the security office, incredibly satisfying violence, no reconciliation, no letter of forgiveness, no saintly gestures, no entanglement, a fight to the bitter end.

    I highly recommend this book. It's not overly violent, but it doesn't skimp on the essential plot points. It features scenes of Yi Zhonghai being beaten and Xu Xu being kicked.
