Li Guan sneered, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with this?"
"I've already told you everything I need to say, but you're still coming here to cause trouble. What's wrong with me defending myself?"
"Let me remind you, these people are professional thugs, specially trained. They're not something you workers can deal with."
"If you know what's good for you, get out of here quickly!"
"So I don't hurt you. But if you insist on pestering me, I won't hold back."
The foreman felt furious, and the workers behind him were equally enraged.
They were all out to earn money, with wives and children to support at home. After a year of hard work, they were looking forward to having some money in their pockets.
But now, Li Guan refused to satisfy even such a simple and rightful demand.
To put it lightly, it was a breach of trust; to put it severely, it was an outrage against heaven!
Therefore, at this moment, the foreman could no longer hold back. He glared at Li Guan and said,
"No matter how many people you call today, it's useless!"
"We just want our money back. We've done nothing wrong; you have!"
"We're not afraid of being bullied by you, so if you want to come, then come. I don't believe you'll actually dare to lay a hand on us!"
Li Guan let out a contemptuous laugh:
"Dare not lay a hand on you? That's hilarious. What do you think you are? To me, you're just pathetic insects!"
"Since you're insects, it's no big deal for me to crush you with a single stomp!"
As soon as Li Guan finished speaking, the "Black Wall" moved!
Two men rushed forward and pinned the foreman to the ground!
The movements were incredibly swift, showing that these guys indeed had some skill.
Li Guan walked up to the foreman, squatted down, and patted his face, saying,
"What did you just say? That's your money, and you want it back? How ridiculous."
"All the money is mine. What does it have to do with you?"
"Our Haoyuan Company is a leading enterprise here. How dare you, a bunch of trash, come here to cause trouble? You must be tired of living!"
The foreman, pinned to the ground, seemed to have fire in his eyes. He roared,
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll fight you to the death!"
Li Guan chuckled playfully, "Fight to the death? With you?"
"Let me tell you, people are different. I have noble blood, while you have lowly blood. How can you fight me to the death?"
"Guys like you are worth nothing in my eyes."
"It's your honor to work for me, but you dare to defy me. You're simply seeking your own destruction."
Li Guan's words ignited the fury of the onlookers. They shouted,
"You're going too far! How can you treat our migrant worker brothers like this!"
"Exactly! If it weren't for the migrant workers' efforts, do you think your company would be so big?"
"Now you're not even paying wages. You're a capitalist, a vampire!"
"You must pay them their money today, or do you believe we'll all report you and bankrupt your company!"
The crowd was incensed, their anger spreading throughout the surrounding square.
But Li Guan remained unfazed. He said to them lazily,
"What are you all doing? What business is it of yours?"
"Reporting us? If you dare to report us, you'd better see if they dare to handle it!"
"Our Haoyuan is a major taxpayer in the area. If we fall, do you think they'll be okay?"
"I advise you to just watch the show quietly and don't think too highly of yourselves."
"If anyone among you dares to speak again, do you believe I'll make an example of them and kill them first?"
Li Guan spoke with a smile on his face throughout.
But that smile was filled with a chilling malevolence.
It was like a knife, making one's hair stand on end.
The crowd felt their throats constricted by an invisible hand.
No one dared to speak again. The ignited anger was instantly extinguished.
The workers demanding their wages were also suppressed by Li Guan's aura, completely afraid to say anything more.
It was as if another word would cost them their lives.
Seeing their fear, Li Guan sneered, "So this is all you've got? You've disappointed me. I thought you were quite formidable!"
"Since you know fear, then get out of here quickly and stop blocking my sight!"
"My patience has its limits. Anyone who dares to stay here for another minute, I'll break their limbs!"
The workers looked at each other, seeing the deep fear in each other's eyes.
They all understood that Haoyuan Company was powerful and not something they could contend with.
If they persisted, they might truly face disaster.
Thus, they began to waver, standing up one by one, wanting to leave.
But at that moment, a cold voice rang out:
"Everyone, no need to leave. If no one will uphold justice for you today, then let me be the one to uphold justice!"
Upon hearing this voice, Li Guan's smile froze.
Everyone also paused slightly and involuntarily looked towards Wu Tian.
The words came from Wu Tian's mouth. He simply couldn't stand Li Guan's behavior anymore, so he stepped forward.
He grew up in the countryside and had seen too many migrant workers return from the city, carrying the fruits of their year's labor, to reunite with their families.
That was when they were happiest. But now, these workers couldn't get their money. What a miserable sight would they present when they returned home?
Wu Tian didn't want to see such a thing.
He believed that if he turned and left, he would never forgive himself.
Meanwhile, Li Guan hadn't expected that even after he had said such things, someone would still dare to step forward, unafraid of death.
He looked at Wu Tian with a sinister gaze and said menacingly,
"Kid, who the hell are you?"
"At this point, you still dare to step out? Are you tired of living?"
