Chapter 87: The Rogue on the Upper Floor

  Wang Yu had been holding back for a long time, and with one slap, he knocked the worker to the ground. Xiao Bai's eyes were sharp, and with a whooshing sound, it darted over, its sturdy body pressing down on the person, letting out a "woof woof" growl. Having eaten too much, it wanted to find some interesting exercise.

  "Violence to your sister! You actually dismantled the swing I loved when I was a kid? If I hadn't eaten breakfast yet, I'd beat you to death." Another kick landed on the foreman's face, and he immediately shut his mouth.

  The worker was not afraid of Wang Yu's threat, but the white Tibetan mastiff's saliva was like a waterfall, as if it had propped him up and kept pouring into his mouth. If he didn't close his mouth, he would probably drown to death.

  Other demolition workers came up with sticks and knives, pointing at Wang Yu and asking: "Who are you? Do you know what this place is? Making trouble here, aren't you tired of living?! If you're smart, get out of here quickly!"

  Wang Yu looked at the welfare institute, which was now in shambles, and let out a deep sigh: "I grew up here since I was young, do you think I don't know? Thieves breaking into their master's home, smashing things and then chasing away the master - is this reasonable under heaven? Of course, it has happened before, it's happening now, and maybe it will happen again in the future. But thieves as brazen as these are rarely seen."

  "Our boss is coming to the scene right away, and by then you won't be able to leave even if you want to." Those few people were afraid of the vicious dog brought by Wang Yu, although they were holding weapons, they didn't dare to attack easily. As for the foreman who fell to the ground, they had long wanted to beat this foreman who owed them wages, since the foreman didn't speak up, they wouldn't mention revenge either.

  "It's better if we can see your boss." Wang Yu whistled, and Xiao Bai lazily jumped down from the worker's body, before that, he also heavily kicked his chest.

  Lin Yue upstairs waved goodbye, and Wang Yu left with the dog, passing through a hazardous area like a battlefield, and walking into the incomplete staircase. There were many blocking nets on the stairs, but they didn't stop Wang Yu.

  Lin Yue wore black sports shoes, loose gray sportswear, and a half-old camouflage uniform on top, tied with an armed belt. Her long hair was tied up in a bun. Her snow-white face was covered with black ash, her lips were slightly dry, and she saw Wang Yu come out. She pursed her lips and coldly said: "I gestured for you to leave, who let you come up? What did Dean Lin entrust you with before his death? To take the right path, to follow the rules, it's not easy to find a formal job. Why are you skipping work today?"

  Wang Yu looked at her serious appearance and wanted to laugh, but seeing the innocent and lovely children behind her, he didn't bother her: "My sister is in battle, as a younger brother, can I not come to comfort her?"

  "Stop smiling, this is none of your business, hurry back to work. Ah, where did the big dog come from?" Lin Yue was startled and wanted to step back, but there were children behind her. She stood still again, staring anxiously at the Tibetan Mastiff behind Wang Yu.

  "I picked it up on the road, probably its original owner thought it had a big appetite and could eat too much, so they threw it away." Wang Yu explained calmly, completely ignoring Xiao Bai's protesting low growl behind his back.

  Just then, a child suddenly shouted: "They're coming again, throw stones..."

  The old chef, like a statue, was squatting in the corner of the rooftop wall with his eyes closed. Hearing the children's shouts, he suddenly turned around. A small stone in his hand accurately landed on the shoulder of the driver who was about to get into the bulldozer.

  The driver let out a miserable cry and fled with his arms around his body: "I've also been hit, I'm injured, hurry up and send me to the hospital!"

  Obviously. He was neither the first casualty nor the last.

  Wang Yu threw a Yuxi cigarette to the old chef and smiled: "You're so accurate at throwing stones? When did you switch to throwing kitchen knives?"

  "I don't want to go to jail yet!" The old chef enjoyed the treatment Wang Yu had lit for him, then sat silently in the corner of the wall, puffing out clouds of smoke.

  The little kid next to him said with admiration: "Chef Grandpa is the most powerful, he chased away many bad guys."

  Lin Yue said with difficulty: "I advise Yu Shu to leave. But he won't listen, Xiao Yu, you help me persuade him, it's best if the two of you can leave together."

  "With us men around, you women and children are fighting, how can I still go out to pick up chicks? Every time I've worked hard to get a new pretty girl into bed, someone suddenly shouts outside the window, saying something embarrassing about me today. Can the girl in bed still listen to my explanation? Will I be able to find a wife in the future?" Wang Yu said seriously.

  "Be serious in front of the kids." Lin Yue glared at Wang Yu, her eyes full of warning.

  "Little Feather, yesterday night the security guard Xiao Zhao ran away, do you think he can still find a wife?" A naive and innocent little boy chimed in.

  "He will definitely not find it, and even if he has a wife, she will leave him." Wang Yu said resolutely.

  It's time to go to work, and Lao Baoan Guquan has arrived at the handover time. He appeared on time in the dilapidated courtyard of the welfare institute. After parking his bicycle, he saw Wang Yu on the floor above, waved excitedly, and strode towards the stairs.

  He risked coming to work, mainly for Wang Yu's face. Or, he was afraid of Wang Yu and didn't dare to desert in the face of danger. Just now someone tried to stop him, but couldn't.

  "Guquan big brother, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yue said in puzzlement, with a mix of gratitude and helplessness.

  "As the security guard of the welfare institution, I have a responsibility to protect the safety of the children." Gu Quan suddenly found his blood boiling with enthusiasm, just like that night in the border defense area before executing a dangerous mission, they sang the national anthem facing the national flag.

  Wang Yu held Lin Yue's phone and finished the call, smiling and saying: "I just asked, our family is the only one in the village who didn't leave, so today's pressure will be even greater. However, Lao Gu is quite righteous. If I borrow 100,000 yuan from Lao Gu, I can hold on to the welfare institute for a year."

  Gu Quan wiped the sweat from his forehead, awkwardly smiled and said, "If there are really 100,000 people protesting against demolition, wouldn't it trigger a riot throughout the city?"

  Lin Yue automatically ignored Wang Yu's exaggerated words and asked with concern: "Have you heard about the situation of Lu Yong's family?"

  "What's the follow-up result? The news is blocked, and I'm asking someone to find out. But even if he can be rescued, what then...?" In front of countless people, the director who had been stabbed by the demolition office, a simple-minded old man, also had his own way of thinking.

  At the demolition site, a luxurious fleet of cars suddenly appeared. A group of well-dressed successful people got out of the cars and pointed and gestured on the ruins, occasionally revealing satisfied smiles.

  When they arrived at a small, isolated building in front of the welfare institute, this group of people finally showed their anger and dissatisfaction. The middle-aged leader was Fan Minjie, the boss of Anno House Property, who sternly asked: "Which worker is in charge of this area? Why hasn't it been demolished yet today?"

  The team leader, who had just crawled up from the ground with blood still flowing from his mouth, replied in a frightened tone: "Director Fan, this is an orphanage, and the resistance was intense. The soldiers who came last night didn't want to make things difficult for a group of children and a female director. So..."

  "Rubbish!" Fan Minjie waved his hand, letting the worker roll away, and asked a young manager beside him, "Little Wang, this matter can't be delayed any longer. Go communicate with the welfare institute. Tell them that if they don't move today, they won't get a single penny of compensation. Tonight, countless people will take action and forcibly demolish their small building."

  Manager Wang respectfully responded with a bow. He waved his hand and shouted a few sentences from the top of the building, requesting negotiations. After getting approval from the rooftop, he nervously entered the corridor. In less than ten minutes, he came down from the building, with several palm prints on his face.

  "Hooligans, there are hooligans upstairs. I said at most we'd compensate them 6 million, but he slapped me and told me to get out. He also said that the residential area of this plot of land plus over 3,000 square meters would be added on top. According to our city's normal demolition regulations, they should be compensated at least over 10 million. That hooligan told me to pass on a message to Director Fan, saying if we don't compensate them at market price, even with the backing of the provincial government, there will still be big trouble."

  Manager Wang's eyes were brimming with tears, his superb negotiation skills hadn't even been used yet when he suffered a ruthless blow from a thug. He was punched until his nose hurt, the feeling of being bullied really wasn't pleasant.

  "Betrayed him!" Fan Minjie was furious, shouting at the beautiful female secretary behind him. "Call Zou Shao in the provincial city and have him bring over another group of reliable brothers."

  Wang Yu stood on the rooftop, looking at a group of furious black-hearted businessmen, and said with a smile: "Jie, lend me your phone again, let's call someone too."

  Lin Yue hesitated for a moment before finally handing the phone over to Wang Yu.

  Zhao Zhitings, the secretary of Linjiang Municipal Party Committee, attended a meeting in the provincial capital yesterday and had a few more drinks with leaders. He didn't sober up until dawn. After hearing from his secretary about the big incident that happened in Linjiang last night, he broke out in cold sweat, made several phone calls in a row, and then rushed back hastily.

  The original deputy mayor in charge of this matter was a versatile figure with many connections. When that deputy mayor was double-regulated, the interest group involved was just exposed and was cut off by someone. The power was so great that even Zhao Zhitian, the top leader, did not dare to touch it lightly.

  But in any case, it cannot lead to bloody conflicts, which is the official bottom line. However, last night someone broke this bottom line, three deaths and multiple injuries, these shocking numbers make Zhao Zhitings uneasy.

  The most accurate news Zhao Zhitings received was that a dispute broke out between the demolition office staff and Lu Yong's family, resulting in someone accidentally pushing Lu Yong's daughter down from the second floor, with unclear injuries. Enraged, Lu Yong grabbed a knife on the spot and stabbed to death the official who pushed his daughter. In the chaos, Lu Yong was also beaten into serious injury and died after ineffective rescue at the hospital. That night, Lu Yong's wife was summoned by the police station for investigation, but she suddenly fell ill during interrogation and died in the interrogation room.

  Zhao Zhitings thought someone would come forward to maintain the situation, but unexpectedly, apart from someone blocking the news, no one in charge came out to deal with it. Before he left for Linjiang, he received a call from a confidant in Linjiang, saying that the developer was acting recklessly and appeared early in the morning to forcibly demolish the last nail house. However, this nail house was actually the Beiqu Welfare Institute, where Director Lin led over 100 children to guard the rooftop, vowing to live or die with the building.

  "Bastards, a group of greedy bastards! These are just kids...” Secretary Zhao was about to have his secretary make a call to inform the people in charge to come and stop the developer's arrogant and foolish behavior, when the phone rang again. The secretary answered it, and his face changed greatly.

  "Secretary, something's wrong! The developer has brought in a group of people from somewhere, around two or three hundred, and they're about to start forcibly demolishing the site." The secretary broke out in sweat. Secretary Zhao was at a critical moment in his term transition, if something big went wrong, he might end up losing everything.

  "Damn it! Do you want to stir up trouble? Call the municipal bureau, order them to rush to the scene and stop...” Before Secretary Zhao could finish his sentence, the secretary's phone rang again. As soon as he answered it, the secretary's face suddenly turned very colorful.

  "What's wrong?" Secretary Zhao asked in puzzlement.

  "I think the Municipal Bureau doesn't need to send anyone for now, and can let the armed police stand by...... The Ninth Master has some unknown relationship with the Welfare Institute, and actually mobilized over a thousand people, who also arrived at the scene..."

  Worked overtime and I'm exhausted...

  Posting one chapter first, have to pull an all-nighter tonight, luckily tomorrow is a half-day off...
