Chapter 167: Chapter 166, Xu Wendong takes advantage of the situation

Lone Wolf’s eyes looked serious as he said, ”A group of people appeared out of nowhere. They injured many of our brothers and destroyed a lot of heavy equipment.”

”And they even boasted that they were going to take over the South City reconstruction project!”

As soon as he said this, Chen Ping’an and Liu Mang’s eyes immediately became much more solemn.

Xu Wendong’s eyes glinted with a cold light. ”The thing I was most worried about has happened!”

Chen Ping’an asked, ”Mister Xu, was all of this within your expectations?”

”Let’s head to the South City Construction Site,” Xu Wendong said lightly, closing the clinic door before driving Chen Ping’an and Liu Mang towards South City himself.

”Although Qingyuan is an inconspicuous small county, on the map, it is located at a crossroads. In the past, it was a strategic location.”

”It never developed because of the Feng Shui issues with South Lake.”

”Now that the South Lake issue has been fundamentally resolved, it’s no exaggeration to say that Qingyuan is about to usher in a new era of prosperity.”

”It’s like a rare herb growing among steep mountains. Before it matures, many wild beasts will watch it; once it matures, those beasts will fight to the death for it!”

Liu Mang swallowed nervously. ”So, these people have been waiting for you to solve the South Lake problem so they could reap the benefits?”

Xu Wendong made a sound of agreement.

Chen Ping’an was a bit panicked. ”If an external force is really eyeing this project, our situation will be difficult. Our power is scattered, like a handful of sand, and we are no match for those people!”

Xu Wendong’s eyes flashed with disdain. ”Even if they want to meddle in this project, they’d better check if they have the strength.”

Half an hour later.

The three of them arrived at the South City Construction Site.

Chen Ping’an and Liu Mang’s men lay beaten on the ground, with a faint bloody scent lingering in the air, the scene was extremely bloody, like a Mortal Purgatory.

The originally bustling demolition work had also been forced to a halt.

On top of an excavator, a thin man in his fifties, with a handlebar mustache, sat cross-legged. He wore a gray robe, with long hair tied into a bun, held up by a wooden hairpin.

He gave off the aura of a hermit sage.

Especially when he slowly opened his eyes, a cold light flashed briefly.

Even figures like Chen Ping’an and Liu Mang, who had been in the underworld for years, felt a strong sense of oppression, as if the man in front of them was a demon.

Just a look gave them an overwhelming feeling of suffocation!

And surrounding the excavator stood a dozen middle-aged men, full of Vital Energy, faces smeared with blood, looking fierce.

”You must be Xu Wendong, right? You’re much younger than I imagined.” The old man wore a playful smile. ”My employer has taken a fancy to this project, and we ask that Mister Xu let it go.”

”To compensate for your loss, we will give you twelve billion.”

”In this way, you won’t suffer a loss.”

Xu Wendong smacked his lips. ”We spent ten billion to acquire this project. If you compensate us twelve billion, it’s indeed not a loss.”

”After all, turning it over immediately makes a two billion profit, it’s not just a loss, it’s a big gain!”

”But, injuring so many of our people without reason, do you think that’s respectful?”

”Don’t you understand what respect is, old man?”

The old man laughed. ”Apologies, but small figures like you aren’t enough for an old man like me to consider worth mentioning. Although this might sound harsh, it’s the truth.”

”Because, if not for this project, our paths would never have crossed in this lifetime.”

”Giving you twelve billion is already a compliment to you.”

”I advise you not to fail to appreciate it.” As he spoke, a sharp glint crossed the old man’s eyes.

Xu Wendong laughed. ”May I ask, who’s behind you?”

The old man wore a proud expression. ”The Sandao Association from the provincial city.”

Xu Wendong hadn’t heard of this force, but Chen Ping’an and Liu Mang felt as if they had been struck by lightning, trembling in fright. After all, they were from the underworld, and the name Sandao Association was like thunder to their ears.

This was one of the three major superpowers in the provincial city, possessing assets worth hundreds of billions.

They couldn’t believe that such a giant would be interested in this small project.

”Are you scared?” The old man’s lips curved up. ”In the face of the Sandao Association, you’re like ants that can be crushed at any time. Our mood directly relates to your life and death!”

”So, it’s better to be sensible.”

”Don’t lose your life over money!” Finished speaking, he pulled out a check, waved his hand, and it flew towards Xu Wendong like a piece of iron.

Xu Wendong raised his hand and caught the check, the amount was indeed twelve billion.

”Even if I gave you this project, how do we account for injuring our brothers?” Xu Wendong showed a smile with deeper meaning.

The old man frowned. ”What do you mean, Xu?”

Xu Wendong casually handed the check to Chen Ping’an, smiling, ”You should know my capabilities. If I can solve the South Lake problem, I can naturally make this place chaotic.”

”If you’ve already spent twelve billion, you won’t force me to sabotage the project over some medical expenses, right?”

The old man said angrily, ”You already have twelve billion, why make a fuss over some medical expenses?”

Xu Wendong’s smile remained. ”You make a good point, but my brothers were injured by you. Shouldn’t I seek justice for them?”

”I can’t have my fill while ignoring my brothers’ well-being, right?”

”We all abide by some underworld ethics, don’t we?”

”Name a price!” The old man knew he was in the wrong, and didn’t want to tangle with Xu Wendong, especially because, as Xu said before, he could make the construction chaotic just as he resolved the South Lake issue.

It was out of fear that they compensated Xu Wendong twelve billion, not wanting to offend him.

Xu Wendong: ”One million!”

The old man: ”Fine.”

Xu Wendong added, ”One million per person.”

The old man erupted in anger. ”Xu, do you intend to profit from a disaster?”

He thought it was just one million for medical expenses, but didn’t expect Xu Wendong’s appetite to be so large, knowing they injured over a hundred people on site.

If all medical expenses were compensated at one million each, wouldn’t it cost more than a billion?

Xu Wendong’s eyes showed a playful look. ”Heaven rarely gives such a good opportunity. Even if I am profiting from a disaster, what can you do about it, old man?”
