Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Auctioned Assets

Chen Yu heaved a long sigh and took two steps forward."Old man, you said that the food from my restaurant killed someone. I need you to bring out the evidence, or have the victim come here, and I will fully compensate."

The elder seemed not to expect Chen Yu to be so assertive and was momentarily stunned.

His voice also started to falter.

Just then, two other elders of similar age strode over furiously, and immediately pulled out several death certificates from their clothes and threw them in front of Chen Yu.

"How can you be so heartless? Your shop has killed people, and you're still acting as if nothing's wrong here. Hurry up and discuss the compensation, or we'll contact the relevant people to smash your shop."

Chen Yu's brow furrowed tightly; he understood that these people were simply here to make trouble.

And judging by the direction they came from, they must be residents of the building right in front of him.

Actually, Chen Yu knew when he moved in that this building was a mixed-use complex, but since its completion, not many people have bought the residential spaces, so most are used for commercial purposes.

The entire ground floor was leased out to a supermarket and several grocery stores.

Previously, there were also several restaurants here, but after Chen Yu's shop opened, these restaurants moved away quite perceptively.

"Ling Ling, help me scan this building!"

Chen Yu sensed something was off and immediately gave the command to his system.

Before long, a flood of information entered Chen Yu's mind.

He was astonished to find that the building in front of him was hollow, with only a few residents, and even their homes were unfinished.

Chen Yu's pupils dilated slightly, seeing that there must be something fishy going on.

At this moment, about a dozen vans suddenly arrived, and a hundred or so people got off the vehicles.

These people were all in uniforms, ranging from various departments, and the man leading them was even in a forensic officer's uniform. Stay connected via M V L

"Mr. Chen, we just received a report that the food sold in your restaurant is substandard! We have already examined the victim's food before coming here and found that the food in their stomach came from your establishment. Please come with us immediately."

Chen Yu couldn't help but feel amused. Not to mention whether these guys' uniforms fit properly, but some of their uniforms were so poorly made, you could grab a handful for less than a hundred yuan on the street.

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have been sent by the developer of this building," he said. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was taken aback, with a few even subconsciously stepping back, clearly feeling guilty.

The leader tried to steady his breathing, trying his best to remain calm.

"Don't worry about who sent us. The fact is you've broken the law, and now you must come with us for our investigation, and your shop will be closed for ten days."

Chen Yu had already learned everything when he received the building's information. Although the building was completed, most of the property rights had not been sold.

With current policies, they had to change the building's industrial structure or dispose of it as quickly as possible, or it would just sit unsold.

Thus, the developer behind all this had no choice but to resort to such measures, finding residents of the building and some riffraff to act as relevant personnel to drive Chen Yu out and take over his shop.

This way, they could use the reputation Chen Yu had established to open a hotel and then bag all the shops along the street, facilitating a big deal—perhaps even engaging in stock speculation to cash out!

Chen Yu, who had already seen through everything, didn't argue with them, instead, he took out an identity badge from the relevant department.

"You say you have orders from the relevant department to close my shop, but as an external staff member of the relevant department, how come I haven't received such an order?"

All those present were wide-eyed; they could not have imagined that Chen Yu had such an identity.

The leader choked and instinctively leaned in to check Chen Yu's badge.

His body trembled, and a flash of panic appeared on his face.

"How do I know if your badge isn't fake? Besides, we have the full documentation."

The man continued to be defiant, and then pulled out a weapon, ready to force Chen Yu into submission.

Just as he was about to make a move, Chen Yu suddenly struck, slapping his face so hard that he fell to the ground, with half his body distorted from Chen Yu's blow.

The rest were just riffraff, and they were stunned by the scene; some turned and ran immediately.

Then, the piercing sound of a whistle broke the silence, and a dozen police cars gradually rolled in and surrounded the area.

Zhou Shengtao stepped out of the car steadily, fiddling with a pair of handcuffs in his hand.

"Kid, it's only been a few days since I last saw you, and you've become so arrogant, bringing a crowd to cause trouble again. Are you going to come with me, or do I have to take you by force?"

The leader was scared out of his wits and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Officer Zhou, I swear this isn't my fault. I was just paid by Boss Wu to make trouble for Mr. Chen and force him to transfer his shop."

Zhou Sheng said nothing more and just motioned to the people behind him to arrest the riffraff, then walked up to Chen Yu.

"We've been hearing rumors for a while now. I didn't expect Wu Zhonghe to be so bold as to actually make a move at this time."

Chen Yu looked annoyed: "Wu Zhonghe? Who's he?"

Zhou Shengtao pointed to several buildings in the vicinity: "He's a local property developer; these buildings around us were all developed by him. The only thing is, this guy had some crooked ideas while developing real estate, and a lot of his money became dirty; a big portion of his assets has been seized, and right now he has no ability to run these buildings."

Chen Yu nodded: "I see, he's just eager to dispose of these buildings quickly and find a profitable business to revive his ventures."

Zhou Shengtao suddenly laughed: "This guy has no chance now. We've caught him red-handed, and all his assets will be auctioned by the court in a few days!"

Chen Yu suddenly became excited; he had just been thinking about expanding his business and changing his industry, and now an opportunity had practically fallen into his lap.

"Officer Zhou, you must save me a spot at the auction."
