Chapter 691 - 718: Making a Decision (Two in One)
Chapter 691: Chapter 718: Making a Decision (Two in One)
Ma San smiled grimly. The bitter experience and loss of face from last time, although he didn’t have the courage to retaliate, he never forgot the grudge.
Moreover, recently, he has been constantly sending people to keep an eye on this place and found that the young man and the police from last time have never returned.
So he judged that the young man was likely here to buy medicine, intervening by chance.
As for whether he had any relationship with the Xiang family, he was quite sure it was mostly unrelated.
After all, he grew up here and knows clearly if the Xiang family has any relatives.
But just to be safe, he didn’t attack the Xiang family immediately after the young man left but waited for many days until the developer couldn’t wait anymore, then he took the initiative.
"Even if there is a connection, I’m not acting directly now, so they won’t trouble me for it!" He thought.
There was one more thing he didn’t understand: after being beaten by Lin Xi last time, he sought Brother Leopard for revenge that same night, but Brother Leopard kicked him out as soon as he heard the brief story, without giving any reasons.
He felt wronged, and after some inquiry, found out that Brother Leopard despises people who bully the weak and elderly.
If he weren’t Brother Leopard’s underling, Brother Leopard might teach him how to behave in minutes.
Also, someone told him to handle the demolition properly and warned him against using force; everything must be negotiated.
Of course, he didn’t listen.
If he listened, he would lose at least hundreds of thousands in rewards.
As of today, except for Elder Xiang’s house, he’s managed to take care of everything through both soft and hard tactics, earning himself seven hundred thousand in rewards.
Moreover, the developer mentioned that if he could settle the last family, he would grant him fifty thousand more in reward.
He made up his mind to use the current tactics to force Elder Xiang and Xiang Juan to move out.
Xiang Juan saw Ma San ignoring her, yet showing a smug smile, which made her angrier.
With Grandfather not home, the house depended on her to guard it.
So, the next moment, she rushed forward, blocking the digger, scaring the operator into immediately stopping the excavation.
Otherwise, there would be a fatal accident.
Ma San beside her was also startled; if there were a fatal incident, he would have to flee.
He shouted angrily at Xiang Juan, "What are you doing? Are you looking to get yourself killed?"
"Get out of the way, don’t delay our construction!"
Xiang Juan firmly shook her head, "I won’t move!"
Ma San gestured for the digger to move back to avoid any accident, and then asked, "Why won’t you move?"
Xiang Juan angrily said, "You’re digging at my doorstep; of course, I won’t allow it!"
"Your doorstep?" Ma San sneered coldly, pointing at the alley, said, "Other than your house, this whole area is ours now!"
"Our land, we can dig however we want!"
"You have absolutely no reason to stop us."
Xiang Juan was speechless with anger for a moment, then pointed at Ma San, "You... you’re shameless!"
"But if you dig, how will my grandfather and I leave?"
"How will others come here to buy medicine?"
"What you’re doing is wrong!"
Her words made Ma San and his men laugh uncontrollably, and next, one of Ma San’s lackeys mocked, "How you and your grandfather walk, is none of our business!"
"And how others buy medicine is none of our business either!"
"Little miss, you’re quite the comedian!"
"I’d advise you to persuade your grandfather to sign the contract and leave soon. Otherwise, if you accidentally fall and become disabled, then what?"
"Do you still want to support him? Can you support him now?"
"So don’t be greedy. Moreover, our boss is prepared to give you a 130-square-meter big house. You should know that’s an apartment with an elevator!"
"Hahaha."
Xiang Juan was on the verge of tears from anger. Her innocent nature made her not adept at arguing with others.
But there was one point mentioned earlier she didn’t understand, so she held back tears and asked, "You mentioned a 130-square-meter house earlier?"
"Wasn’t it previously said it would be 170 square meters?"
As the person was about to reply, Ma San stopped him, saying, "Isn’t it because you haven’t moved for so long? Do you know how much money you’ve wasted for our boss?"
"Subtracting 40 square meters was me speaking on your behalf!"
"Otherwise, you wouldn’t get a square meter."
He paused there, and his lackey immediately handed him a small bottle of mineral water.
Once Ma San had finished drinking, the lackey obsequiously took the bottle back, at which point he continued, "So I advise you to sign the contract quickly."
"It’s good for everyone; otherwise, not only will our boss lose a lot of money, but you also might not end up with even a square meter."
Xiang Juan couldn’t outtalk Ma San and his crew, and since she couldn’t win the argument, she simply stopped speaking, closed her eyes, and stood on the road.
It looked like she had no intention to move!
Ma San sneered and said to two of his men behind him, "Drag her away for me!"
The two men smiled cryptically and walked toward Xiang Juan, one from the left and one from the right.
But as they were about to reach Xiang Juan, Ma San added, "Don’t hurt her!"
Although he didn’t know whether the young man last time had any relation to the Xiang family, the female officer had warned them before.
Hence, in any case, try not to hurt Xiang Juan.
Otherwise, if that female officer did come to ask questions, they would have no choice but to run.
After all, Zhou Yan’s name in their circle was absolutely famous and definitely someone not to provoke easily.
Just as the two were about to touch Xiang Juan, suddenly, an angry voice came from afar, "You bunch of little punks, you’re really growing gutsy, huh?"
"Get away from my granddaughter, or I’ll fight you to the death, old man style!"
Ma San’s two lackeys immediately withdrew their hands, turning to look at their boss, Ma San.
Ma San spat on the ground, cursing under his breath, "Bad luck!"
They had just been told that Elder Xiang had gone out, so they intended a surprise maneuver, only to find he returned early.
At this point, Ma San had no choice but to step forward and say with a smile, "Elder Xiang, back so early!"
"How dare we touch Xiaojuan, and even less dare to lay hands on you!"
Elder Xiang snorted coldly, stepped in front of Xiang Juan, standing where she had been, unmoving.
Clearly intent on stopping them,
Ma San’s face turned grim; his henchmen and the digger operator all looked at him, awaiting his command.
These people knew well that Elder Xiang was actually someone difficult to deal with.
Of course, this wasn’t related to his old age; among this crowd, who dares to provoke them recklessly!
It’s about Elder Xiang running a pharmacy for years with excellent medical skills, so many people have benefited from him, and some among them have significant identity and status.
If they harmed Elder Xiang, someone from that group might come forward, leaving them with unpleasant consequences.
"But fifty thousand!" Ma San hesitated, pondering, "Is a hundred twenty thousand worth it for this deal when you add up the previous seventy thousand?"
"With a hundred twenty thousand, even if he flees to another city, he could presumably live quite well!"
"Moreover, perhaps no one will step forward!"
In the next moment, his expression showed determination, turning around to take out his phone and called the developer boss, asking if he solved the final household right away, when would he receive his one hundred twenty thousand reward?
The developer boss immediately replied that he could deliver the reward immediately.
Ma San hung up the phone and, after a moment of contemplation, suddenly seemed to make up his mind, waving his hand backward and shouting, "Pull them apart for me; if they dare resist, bind them!"
Then pointed to the digger operator, "Dig for me!"
