"Is this the Huiwen Demolition Company?" Ye Longlin asked, his brow furrowed as he looked at the dilapidated building.
He recalled that the address for Huiwen Demolition Company was not supposed to be here. Previously, Yuanzhan Capital had a certain level of vetting for all its partners, and Huiwen should have been within the park. Kuai Shu Ge.
Li Shufen chuckled, her tone unreadable. "You are always so high and mighty, when have you ever paid attention to our affairs? Ever since talk of demolition started here, Huiwen Demolition Company moved here. A month ago, this place belonged to another company.
Now, that other company has been destroyed, and even this building has been given to the owner of Huiwen. Their property here is also part of the development area."
After hearing this, Ye Longlin's eyes instantly turned cold. Yuan Gang could clearly feel the chill emanating from his gaze, knowing that his boss was truly angered this time.
It was understandable, considering there were several lives lost.
"I will handle this matter for you!" Ye Longlin said to Li Shufen.
If he had arrived sooner, perhaps the fate of their family would have been different.
Li Shufen remained silent, looking at the knife in her hand, her heart as dead as ashes.
She was not foolish and knew very well that even a bureau chief like Xu Dengkui was respectful before this young man, so his status must be extraordinary.
"You few, come here!"
Da Qiang's voice rang out. Ye Longlin looked up and saw Da Qiang looking at them, his tone imperious.
"Didn't you hear me, damn it! I told you to come over!"
A flicker of hatred flashed in Li Shufen's eyes. "It's him. He led the demolition team to beat my man. By mistake, my man fell onto the rebar and died."
Li Shufen's tone was very flat, but anyone could hear the despair in her voice.
Da Qiang had spoken twice, but no one paid him any attention. Enraged, he walked down from the steps. He did not see Li Shufen behind them, shielded by Yuan Gang, so he saw nothing.
"I said, are you two deaf? I'm talking to you! Damn it, is my authority decreasing? Believe it or not, I'll cripple you two?"
Da Qiang said coldly. Before he could finish, Yuan Gang's large hand had already slapped him.
"Slap!"
When Yuan Gang moved, Da Qiang saw Li Shufen behind him. He instinctively moved away from them, covering his face and jumping frantically. "Li Shufen! What do you want to do? I'm warning you, this is downstairs at our company. We've already compensated you for what we owe. Don't cause trouble!
Look, I can personally compensate you with 200,000 yuan. Go back and bury your husband and son properly. I'm warning you, this project is a city-level project. If you delay it, it won't be just a small problem now. You need to think carefully!"
Da Qiang said, retreating. He had already seen the kitchen knife in Li Shufen's hand and was somewhat apprehensive.
Yuan Gang stepped forward and grabbed him, kicking him in the back. He looked down at him coldly. "Wang Dezhu's family received six million in demolition compensation, and you swallowed five million seven hundred thousand.
People say that the demolition office gets rich. I didn't believe it before, but now I know why. Not only that, but you dare to kill people in broad daylight. Two lives, your courage is indeed quite bold."
Da Qiang retorted stubbornly, "I don't understand what you're talking about!"
"Brother, I don't know what you do, but I guess you were hired by this woman? I'll give you double what she paid you, and you let me go. This matter is not as simple as you think. If you truly offend the people behind me, no one can protect you!"
Da Qiang's eyes darted around, and he immediately threatened them. It was just about money, wasn't it?
Yuan Gang sneered, "Then tell me, who is behind you? Let's see if I can afford to offend them."
"What are you doing? What do you want? Committing violence in broad daylight, what are you doing? Is there still law? Brothers, someone is bullying our people at the entrance of our company!"
The security guards of Huiwen Demolition Company surrounded them, each holding a rubber baton.
"Who are you? Let our minister go. Causing trouble downstairs at our company, are you tired of living!"
"Damn it, this is the first time I've seen someone dare to cause trouble at our company. The last person who caused trouble at our company is already in the hospital. It's really a troubled time!"
"Heh, who says not. Hurry up and deal with them. Eighth Master will be here soon. If Eighth Master sees us, we won't get off easy."
They muttered amongst themselves, but they also caught some useful information.
"Who is Eighth Master!" Yuan Gang shouted coldly.
Li Shufen said despairingly, "Eighth Master is the big boss in our area. Although they have a company, it's just a shell company. They operate illegal loans, student loans, and nude loans, harming many people. The previous demolition team was led by Eighth Master himself to forcibly demolish properties. No one dared to provoke him.
Forget it, let's go. We can't afford to offend someone like Eighth Master. Even during the severe crackdowns, Eighth Master was never caught. His background is immense."
Da Qiang sneered, "Someone like Eighth Master is not someone you can offend. If you offend Eighth Master, you will definitely not see tomorrow's sun. People like you, Eighth Master has dealt with countless. I advise you to get lost quickly!"
Little did they know, the more they spoke, the more somber Ye Longlin's expression became.
The darkness of Xingcheng was gradually revealing itself to him.
"What are you doing? Why are so many people gathered here? Don't you know it affects the company's image? Hurry up and disperse!"
Suddenly, a voice came. Yuan Gang looked at the approaching person, a middle-aged man with a bulging belly.
A path opened up for the crowd. The middle-aged man walked down with his hands behind his back, frowning at the scene. "What's going on? Who are you? Let Da Qiang go first."
"Director, it's like this..."
Soon, they explained the situation to the middle-aged man.
Zhang Yuanyang nodded. "So that's how it is, Li Shufen. Our company didn't lie to you. Your demolition compensation is indeed only 300,000 yuan. If you don't believe me, you can come in, and I'll show you the demolition list from Yuanzhan Capital. It clearly records how much each household is to receive."
Zhang Yuanyang acted like a man of action, even willing to produce the list. But was the list he produced the correct one?
Ye Longlin had originally set the price at 11,000 yuan per square meter, with demolition and compensation at three times that, meaning 30,000 yuan per square meter, totaling six million. Now it was only 300,000 yuan. Was he fooling someone?
"If that's the case, then let the demolition team from Yuanzhan Capital come. If it's true, I will apologize to you. If it's false... you will bear the consequences."
