CHAPTER 439: CHAPTER 430: GOING HARD

Not long after, Earth Wolf, who was undercover at Liu’s Real Estate Company, called Lin Mu. He told Lin Mu that tonight, Liu Shengyi plans to send thugs to attack the people opposing the demolition, all in two Jinbei vans, with license plates Yue S8866, quite an impressive number.

Lin Mu replied, "Alright, I got it!" then hung up the phone.

"Sis, just as I expected, Liu’s Company has already sent people to intimidate the crowd." Lin Mu said with a chuckle.

"Oh? So how should we respond now?" Qi Manlin asked, "Should we go arrest them?"

"Arrest who?" Lin Mu retorted, "It’s not about who can act tougher right now; what’s more important is to gather evidence. We wait for them to make a move, then we act right behind them, catch them in the act, and with witnesses, they won’t be able to talk their way out of it." Lin Mu said.

"Alright then, where do we wait for them?"

"Hehe! I say, cop sister, they say people with big hearts are empty-headed, looks like it’s true. Of course we wait at Secretary Yang Dacheng’s house. They’ll definitely target the officials first. But don’t worry, I’ve got it all arranged with Secretary Yang; we’ll definitely get the evidence we need. We’ll let Yang Dacheng get coerced first and be forced to sign the contract. Of course, gathering more evidence makes it even stronger!" Lin Mu explained.

Qi Manlin rolled her eyes at Lin Mu. This guy indeed had some brains, and his arrangements seemed impeccable. She then took the walkie-talkie and instructed her officers to wait on the spot and not to expose themselves easily, waiting for her command to act together.

Secretary Yang Dacheng’s home was situated at the head of Four-direction Street, right at its entrance, so Qi Manlin parked the car not far away. To cooperate with this secret operation, they didn’t use police cars, but all drove private cars!

Ten minutes later, two Jinbei vans drove onto Four-direction Street and stopped in front of Secretary Yang Dacheng’s house. The vans stopped, and a few guys jumped out, all shirtless with tattoos, bare-chested, all with shiny bald heads, gold chains the thickness of thumbs around their necks. The leader had tattoos of Left Cyan Dragon and Right White Tiger on his arms, giving off a formidable intimidating vibe. The young children who were crying and making noise by the door immediately clammed up when they saw these ghost-like figures!

This group of thugs all jumped out of the vans, counting to about twenty something people. They gathered around the vehicles smoking for a bit, discussing, then three thugs walked up to Yang Dacheng’s front gate and knocked on the big iron door!

Yang Dacheng had already been notified by Lin Mu, so he was prepared mentally. He opened the door without much reaction, glancing at the three shirtless thugs with ferocious looks at the door, then peeked behind where there were more than a dozen other thugs. Although he’d been forewarned, Lin Mu assured him he’d arranged everything and he’d be fine, and told him not to fear as Lin Mu would have his back. Still, Yang Dacheng was trembling with fear inside!

"What do you want?" Yang Dacheng pretended to be clueless and asked the thugs in front of him.

The thugs gave Yang Dacheng a smile, but their smile carried a sinister and malicious undertone!

Lin Mu, from inside the car, peered at the three thugs threatening Yang Dacheng; the leader was none other than Water Buffalo. Well, since they’re all here, that’ll save a lot of trouble down the line, no need to specially hunt for Water Buffalo later since a lot of things to come would need his ’help’!

"You must be Secretary Yang. We have some matters to discuss with you, let’s talk inside!" Water Buffalo said with a grin, not caring if Yang Dacheng agreed or not, slinging an arm around his shoulders and walking him inside.

Water Buffalo asserted himself, taking a seat on the couch as if he owned the place, lighting up a cigarette, while Yang Dacheng sat opposite him.

"Secretary Yang, let me introduce myself, I’m Water Buffalo, head of the demolition department at Liu’s Real Estate Company, specifically responsible for demolition matters. Our staff has already contacted you before, but for some reason, you still refuse to sign this agreement. So today, I specially came to discuss this with Secretary Yang, please sign this contract!" Water Buffalo exhaled a mouthful of smoke as he smiled at Secretary Yang.

Even though Water Buffalo’s tone was calm, anybody could hear the hint of threat in his words. It seemed like this was going to happen today, whether the contract was signed voluntarily or not. This was Water Buffalo’s usual tactic, to create psychological pressure, achieving victory without a battle.

Yang Dacheng looked at Water Buffalo and said, "Oh Brother Niu, we had agreed to sign the demolition agreement, but we think the compensation amount for the demolition given by you is too low, so we decided not to sign this agreement!"

"Not signing?" Water Buffalo’s voice carried a mocking tone, "Secretary Yang, I advise you to think carefully before saying such a definitive thing. Just so you know, today, you’ll sign this contract, whether you want to or not. Since we’re here, there’s no way we’re leaving empty-handed!"

After Water Buffalo finished speaking, he played with the blade in his hand for a moment, implying to Yang Dacheng that no matter how hard a bone is, it can’t be harder than a blade. So with one slash, even the hardest bone can be broken. So whether you sign the contract or not is up to whether this blade decides it or not!

Yang Dacheng looked at the blade in Water Buffalo’s hand, and his fear intensified, but he still bravely spoke as Lin Mu had preplanned, "Does Liu’s Company want to force us to sign this agreement?"

"Hehe, you could say that. Either way, you must sign this agreement today, no agreement means no demolition, no demolition means cutting off our money line, would you think we’d let you off for that?" Water Buffalo exhaled smoke, speaking in a domineering tone.

"Do you guys even have respect for the King’s Law?" Yang Dacheng mustered the courage to speak the final line Lin Mu instructed him.

Water Buffalo chuckled, accepting a contract from a lackey behind him and tossing it onto the coffee table in front of the sofa, "You will sign this contract, whether you want to or not!"

Water Buffalo said, placing the blade gently against Yang Dacheng’s neck, making sweat bead up on his forehead. Inside, Yang Dacheng thought, Lin Mu was right, they might really make a move when they said they would!

"No, no, I’ll sign, I’ll sign!" Yang Dacheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
