Chapter Ninety-Five: Demolition and Relocation

  Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei, Wu Yu listened to Liu Pengfei's narrative and asked the surrounding civilians again. The surrounding civilians praised Liu Pengfei, while others were worried about him.

  An old woman in her seventies, supported by her son, stretched out her trembling hands and said: "Young man, these people are too bullying, they don't even let us live. The demolition compensation they gave can't even buy half a room, where will we go to live?"

  Looking at Lao Nainai, Heizi remembered his mother's last words: Heizi, be a good person and help others.

  "Heizi grabbed the old lady's hand and said: 'Don't worry, old folks, with me Hei Zi here, no one will dare to drive you away.'"

  Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei, Wu Yu circled around the crowd for a while to gather information before returning to Liu Peng Fei's side. Wu Yu suddenly cursed loudly: "Damn you, you're too much of a bully, not even letting people live!"

  The mixed kid opposite took Wu Yu and the others as demolition office staff too. A young man with yellow hair on his head and a gold chain around his neck stepped forward two steps and said: "You guys took Mr. Hao's money, now get out of here, what are you mumbling about? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll destroy you."

  Wu Yu listened to Huang Mao's words without getting angry, he stared at Huang Mao with a straight face and chuckled twice, saying: "Want to kill me? Courting death."

  Huang Mao felt a chill run down his spine, and he involuntarily took two steps back, saying: "You, what do you want to do?"

  "Kneel down and call me grandpa, I'll let you go; otherwise, I'll personally bury you right here." Wu Yu said with a smile on his face.

  Huang Mao was so scared that he retreated two more steps, and accidentally tripped over the rubble under his feet. The several young thugs standing behind him rushed to help him up: "Palace brother, what's wrong with you?"

  Huang Mao stared blankly at Wu Yu for a minute before coming back to himself and asked, "Does anyone know him? Who is this guy?"

  The mixed-breed dog behind Huang Mao shook its head, and Huang Mao gradually calmed down. He glanced at Hei Zi and the others, but didn't see anything unusual, so he smiled awkwardly to himself. Being scared like this by a demolition office staff member was really embarrassing.

  Liu Pengfei saw Huang Mao being scared by Wu Yu and retreating in a fluster, also laughed, didn't expect that the previously arrogant Huang Mao was so timid.

  "Director Liu, what should we do now?" asked a staff member from the demolition office standing beside Liu Pengfei.

  The two demolition office workers both thought that Liu Pengfei became the director because of his father's connections and didn't take him seriously, not telling him many things. Today was his first day on the job and he encountered this situation. This is an office matter, not something to be handled by gathering brothers on the street, which would only make things more chaotic. The bewildered Liu Pengfei had no choice but to call in his own brothers to think of a solution together.

  Half an hour after Heizi arrived, Wang Peng ran over. He had been with Xiaoling in the company for the past few days and rushed over hastily after receiving Heizi's call.

  "Hei Ge, what's going on? So many people." Wang Pengcheng asked breathlessly.

  Hei Zi briefed him on the situation, and Wang Peng Cheng chuckled and said: "Screw them, aren't they just a few dozen little thugs? Take out a plank of bricks and wipe them out."

  "Hei Zi shook his head and said: 'They are just a bunch of mixed eggs, we need to figure out who they are working for. If we want to help the residents here, we have to thoroughly help them solve this matter.'"

  "Hei Zi stepped forward two steps and said: 'Who's in charge here? I have something to say.'"

  Huang Mao took two steps forward, looking pleased with himself, and said: "I'm the boss, talk to me."

  "Hei Zi looked at him with disdain and said: 'Kid, how much is the entry fee?'"

  "Three hundred." Yellow Hair blurted out, and after finishing, he felt it wasn't right. His eyes widened: "What's it to you?"

  "Hehe, little rabbit, I also earned a show fee, do you want to know how much my show fee is?"

  Huang Mao knew he had met a fellow practitioner and asked in a low voice: "How much does the resident here care about you?"

  "Hei Zi nodded and said: 'One hour, ten thousand.'"

  "Fart, it's so expensive for an appearance fee, who do you think you are?"

  "Hei Zi didn't get angry either, smiled and said: 'I'm Cheng Hei Zi, from Brothers Company.'"

  Cheng Heizi was somewhat famous in the small town, but not many people knew him in the county seat. Huang Mao shook his head and said: "I've never heard of you, what are you doing getting involved in this as a businessman? Do you think you can take over this land and become a developer? This is good boss's territory, you don't have a chance."

  "What is Mr. Hao?" Hei Zi asked.

  Huang Mao looked at Hei Zi with a dissatisfied expression and said: "Watch your mouth, you've offended Old Man Hao, do you still want to stay in this circle?"

  "Hei Zi pretended to care about Huang Mao and said, 'Brother, you said your appearance fee is only 300, but I make 10,000 an hour. What are you still doing here? Go back, take your people to Brother's restaurant for dinner, I'll treat.'"

  "Brother, I took Hao's boss' money, and as a brother on the road, we must keep our word."

  Hei Zi said for half a day that this Huang Mao just wouldn't leave. Hei Zi sighed and said, "It seems like I have no choice but to take action myself."

  "Lao Wu, stop wasting your breath on him, let their boss come out and talk." Zhuo Xiaofei was getting annoyed seeing Hei Zi chattering away with Huang Mao.

  "We two brothers are talking, you butt in." Huang Mao discontentedly retorted.

  As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crisp crackling sound, and his face felt scorching hot. He didn't see how the black kid hit him.

  "How dare you hit me?" Huang Mao suddenly became angry.

  As soon as Huang Mao's voice fell, he felt a chill on his neck. A scout's dagger was pressed against his neck. Hei Zi's voice was low and menacing: "Little rabbit, if you don't leave now, I'll kill you right away."

  Hei Zi's words were like a sharp blade that cut through the air, exuding an aura of murder. This kind of momentum was something Xiao Huang Mao had never encountered before. He felt his legs trembling and had an urge to urinate.

  "Brother, I'm leaving now. Old Hao is not easy to deal with, you'd better be careful." Little Huang said stutteringly.

  Hei Zi waved his hand and hid the dagger in his sleeve, then patted Xiao Huang Mao's shoulder with his left hand and said: "Let's go, don't get involved in demolition matters from now on. My big brother is the director of the demolition office, his business is my business. You just earn a show fee, we have no grudges or hatred, I don't want to kill you."

  "Thanks, Hei Ge, thanks, Hei Ge. I'm Gong Feiliang from East Street, and I've come to find my brothers on some business." Xiao Huang Mao whispered into Hei Zi's ear.

  "Let's go, if there's anything, come to Brother Company and look for Cheng Heizi." Heizi was also polite to him.

  Xiao Huang Mao was beaten by his brother, and most people didn't see clearly that the dagger was pressed against his neck. They all thought Hei Zi just put his right hand on Xiao Huang Mao's shoulder. When Xiao Huang Mao called out to his dozens of brothers to leave, most people were still unwilling. Xiao Huang Mao said in a low voice: "He is not from the demolition office, he is Cheng Hei Zi from our brother company."

  Some people's hometowns are in small towns, they know Cheng Heizi, after hearing Huang Mao's words, they discussed and speculated, soon dozens of Huang Mao's brothers knew who Cheng Heizi was, they all retreated and left the demolition site.

  Liu Pengfei saw the thugs leave, and the remaining construction personnel were easy to handle. After all, he represented the government, and no one dared to do anything to him. So he found a short wall to stand on and shouted loudly: "I am Liu Pengfei, the current director of the demolition office. Demolition without agreement on compensation is illegal. Everyone leave immediately, or we will call the police."

  The workers were in an uproar, some began to retreat backwards. Zhuo Xiaofei and Wu Yu, Wang Pengcheng started waving their hands to drive the workers away. Soon, all the workers were driven away, and the construction machinery roared away.
