Chapter 9 - Encountering Forced Separation
"Jia Lin, did they hit you?" Zhu Xingxing did not ask about the house. He was still far away just a moment ago, so he didn't recognize Yue Jia Lin. However, when he saw that she had been beaten up, he understood what had happened and immediately rushed over to her.
"Big Brother Xing, they want to tear down your house." Yue Jailin said anxiously as she pointed at the machine that was about to smash a big hole in the roof.
But at this moment, there was a loud noise. The machine smashed down and a big hole appeared in the ceiling. A house was instantly turned into ruins.
Yue Jailin was dumbfounded as she looked at the huge hole in the ground in disbelief. He could not believe that everything was real! She had already done everything she could to stop these people from forcefully breaking down the house, but they did not care about her opposition at all and had unrestrainedly torn down the house.
Zhu Xingxing asked her to look after the house for him. Before Zhu Xingxing came back, she was already the owner of the house. And these bastards, they actually …
He was completely out of his control!
Yue Jia Lin was so angry that her face turned pale.
Zhu Xingxing also blankly stared at the house which contained his youth's memories turning into ruins. After a long while, his eyes suddenly spewed out two streams of strong flames.
To him, this tile house was not just a house, but a microcosm of his deceased family. This is Zhu Xingxing's home! In the past, no matter where he was, Zhu Xingxing's heart never felt like his home, nor did his heart feel like it was home.
But now, these people had taken down his home in front of him!
"Big Brother Xing, they, they …" Yue Jia Lin pointed at the broken house, looking at Zhu Xingxing, he was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
Zhu Xingxing squinted his eyes as the muscles on his face contorted due to his anger.
On the other hand, the people who demolished the houses did not care about Yue Jialin and Zhu Xingxing, they controlled the machines and destroyed the houses first and then overturned the walls.
This old house that had existed for dozens of years directly turned into a pile of ruins.
Seeing that the house was in ruins, the middle-aged man who was in charge of the demolition was all smiles. His mission was finally accomplished. He had fought with many residents for this project. Once he settled this one, he would be able to sleep peacefully.
Promotions, salary increases, bonuses, they all received the attention of the boss … The future seemed to be bright.
"Hey, now this is not a house but a ruin. Wait until the owner of the house comes back, wouldn't everything be solved if he asked us for money?" The supervisor said as he walked in front of Yue Jia Lin.
"You, you're a bastard!" Yue Jia Lin gritted her teeth and cursed loudly.
"Hey!" This young lady has a rather good temper. " The person in charge laughed. He did not seem to care about Yue Jailin's scolding at all as he waved to the person who was still controlling Yue Jailin and said, "Let her go. Let us go."
"You want to leave?" Zhu Xingxing coldly snorted.
"Yeah, what? You have an objection?" The person in charge looked at Zhu Xingxing, his mind filled with confusion. When did this guy come out?
"Yes." Zhu Xingxing said.
"Oh? Who are you? " The person in charge was stunned.
"The owner of the house." Zhu Xingxing's face turned green.
"That's perfect, let's talk about compensation. Do you want a new house or cash? Our company has a new house already. Using your old house to buy a new house is worth a lot of money, you're lucky." As soon as the person in charge heard that the real owner of the house had appeared, he was immediately overjoyed.
"I want money." Hearing his words, Zhu Xingxing's face turned even uglier.
"Fine, I'll give you one million and come with me to the company to collect the money." The person in charge did not realize that something big was about to happen.
"Not enough." Zhu Xingxing shook his head.
"If that's not enough, then how much do you want? "Brat, be smart. Don't ask so much. Go and ask the others, they are all willing to pay this price." Seeing that Zhu Xingxing did not seem to be satisfied, the manager's face darkened.
"What if I insist on opening my mouth wide?" Zhu Xingxing's brows tightly knitted together.
"You're in trouble!" The person in charge grunted, "Giving you a million yuan is because I thought highly of you. Listen carefully, this is a project for the development of Magnificent Real Estate!"
"Are you threatening me?" Zhu Xingxing was startled, he obviously did not think that these people would forcefully tear down his house, and even arrogantly threaten him!
"That's right, working capital is threatening you. Don't be so shameless, or else you won't be able to bear the consequences." The person in charge said fiercely, he hoped to scare Zhu Xingxing like this and solve the problem, then he would be able to sleep peacefully and get promoted.
He had already done enough for this project.
"Wow, I'm so scared." Zhu Xingxing pretended to be shocked.
"Afraid? "Hehe, if you're scared, then obediently sell your house!" The person in charge saw Zhu Xingxing admitting defeat and said complacently. The name "Magnificent Real Estate" was indeed useful. This was not the first time he used the Wang family's name to bully someone.
"Alright, now that the house is gone, all that's left is the land. We have to sell it, and it's also the land we're selling now. You should compensate us with bricks and tiles, let's talk about selling the land later." Zhu Xingxing said as he pointed to the ruins.
"Compensating for bricks and tiles?" He had never encountered such a situation before, but in order to resolve this matter as soon as possible and allow the construction team to proceed smoothly, he did not want to waste any more time.
"How much is decades of waste brick and tile worth? That's one thousand yuan, that's enough, right? " Looking at the broken bricks and tiles that couldn't be used anymore, the supervisor said.
