Kill One to Warn Others
Tang Jucheng could already stand up and walk a few steps with the help of a crutch. However, there seemed to be some problem with the nerves in his left leg. It wasn't very sensitive, so he walked with a limp and stayed at home. Today was a big day in the slums. Other than Tang Jucheng, the mother and daughter came to the only square in the slums, which used to be the garbage dump.
Later on, the city started a garbage removal project and set up a few temporary garbage dumps in the slums. Only then did they completely remove the garbage dump. Otherwise, the smell would be unbearable in the summer.
After it was cleaned up, it became a place for the elderly to play chess and exercise. It was also an empty space for the kids to play. Today, it became a place for negotiations with the developers.
Behind the empty space, between two trees, there was a sign: Welcome to Qibing Real Estate's renovation of the slums!
Qibing sat in the back of the Audi Q7, and Zhong Fabai was the temporary driver. Jin Gubang sat in the front passenger seat, and beside Qibing was a middle-aged man. They couldn't tell who this middle-aged man was. He suddenly appeared next to Qibing early in the morning.
Qibing didn't introduce him, and the middle-aged man didn't say much either. However, Fabai and Jin Gubang guessed that this man was Qibing's bodyguard. It was just that he wasn't here for the past few days.
Behind the Audi Q7 was a black van with Zhong Fabai's underlings sitting in it. They were the thugs in charge of the negotiation. Their purpose was to teach those disobedient residents a lesson.
The car stopped near the empty space, and Qibing saw the sign on the square with one glance. He felt very satisfied. It seemed that these people had been waiting for their relocation for a long time, and now that he had the initiative, he would be able to lower the price a bit more for them.
"Master Bing, these people seem to welcome you very much!" Fabai said flatteringly, but in his mind, he was planning to divert the trouble.
"Hmph, let's see if they still welcome you when you tell them the price later." Master Bing wasn't stupid. He knew that these people didn't know the price he was going to give them. They wouldn't welcome him when he told them the price.
"So what if they don't welcome me? They still have to demolish it. This is Master Bing's first project in Songshan, you can't let these unruly people ruin it! "Zhong Fabai said.
"Naturally, we won't stop because of them. However, if these unruly people don't allow us to demolish it, it will be troublesome." Zhao Qibing looked at the people in the square and frowned. "It's obvious that these people have discussed this beforehand. I'm afraid that the negotiation won't go smoothly."
"This will depend on your determination, Master Bing!" Fabai smiled, "Since Cihua bro asked me to come here, I know what's going on. I do have some tricks up my sleeves, but Master Bing, you have to give me a limit. No matter how big the problem is, can I take responsibility?"
"As long as we don't kill these people, we'll be fine," Master Bing said calmly. In Master Bing's eyes, the residents of the slums were like ants. He didn't believe that they could cause any trouble.
"With Master Bing here, things will be much easier!" Fabai patted his chest and said, "Master Bing, just watch! I'm the best at dealing with these unruly people. If it doesn't work, we'll just use the bulldozer and scare them to death! "
"Yes, as long as they don't kill anyone, anything is fine!" Master Bing nodded. "But, it's best if you kill one to warn the others. I'm afraid that I won't be able to suppress it if it causes too much of a commotion. But injuring or crippling one or two is still an accident, right?"
"Understood!" Fabai nodded. "Master Bing, let's see if there are any troublemakers later. It'll be easier after we get rid of them."
"That's what I meant, but Old Zhong, don't you think you have too few people?" Looking at the slums in the square, Zhao Qibing felt that Fabai's men might not be able to intimidate these people. Of course, he wasn't afraid himself, but he was afraid that something might happen. That's why he asked his father for this master. Not to mention the hundreds of people in the square, even if there were more, he would be fine. But, it would be too much of a problem if he asked his bodyguards to deal with these people.
"Master Bing, these are just the workers who came with us. There's still the bulldozer and the trenching machine behind them. They'll be here soon!" Fabai looked at his watch and said, "They should be here soon!"
"That's good, I'll leave it to you later." Zhao Qibing was relieved when he heard that Fabai still had men.
"Let's see who's not convinced later. We'll tear down their houses first. We should be more forceful from the start, or else these unruly people will take advantage of us!" Fabai calculated in his heart. He'd tear down Tang Yun's house later, and it'd be best if they made a big commotion. If Tang Yun was hurt, Lin Yi wouldn't just stand by and do nothing, right? When the time came, he would push all the blame away and let Lin Yi take revenge on Master Bing! If Lin Yi went against Master Bing, wouldn't he be seeking death?
Master Bing nodded and got out of the car. Accompanied by Fabai, Jin Gubang, and the bodyguard, they came to a temporary rostrum in the square and sat down.
The residents of the slums quietened down as well. They stared at the people on the rostrum without blinking. These were people who could decide their fates. Their words were like gold. How could they not be careful?
"This is the chairman of our Qibing Real Estate Development Company, Zhao Qibing, Director Zhao. He's in charge of this slums reconstruction. If you guys have any requests, you can tell us. We'll discuss the demolition plan!" Fabai remembered Zhao Qibing's words. Kill one to warn a hundred. He had to find someone to establish his dominance, so he purposely said those words. He was waiting for someone who didn't care about their lives to ask for more. Then, he'd teach them a lesson so that they wouldn't dare to ask for more.
Fabai's words stunned the residents on the spot. Wasn't it always the developer who came and asked if they wanted to demolish the slums or not? Why was it a negotiation this time? Could it be that the developer this time had a conscience and was prepared to bring some benefits to the slums?
So, the residents started to think, but no one dared to step out first. After all, no one knew if the developer was telling the truth or not.
