"You won't sign?" The voice was arrogant. "Say you won't sign again?"
"You bunch of hooligans!" Gao Jin shouted, unable to contain himself any longer.
Gao Jianfei instantly understood what had happened!
This is outrageous!
Someone is bullying us in our home!
Gao Jianfei jumped out of bed, quickly threw on his clothes, and rushed out, yelling, "What are you doing?"
"Huh?" There were four men in plaid shirts in the living room. The dog from yesterday was also there.
They were taken aback when a young man suddenly darted out of the house.
Generally speaking, if there are young and middle-aged adults in the family, dogs and other animals won't bully you too much, but threatening them a little is always necessary.
"Oh? So a man has come home." Gouzi sat down on the stool. "Young man, quite good for your age. Okay, since you won't sign, then tell me what you want to sign. State your conditions, and we'll discuss it again." As he spoke, he carefully observed and studied Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei's anger flared, but he forcibly suppressed it. "We want to make demands? Fine, then we'll do it according to the rules. Either it's a 1:1 compensation plus a 15-square-meter discount, or it's calculated based on the number of people on my household registration, 30 square meters per person. There are only two compensation methods, no third!"
Powerful!
Their attitude is extremely firm! They will absolutely not back down!
Gao Jin and his aunt looked at Gao Jianfei with extreme anxiety. They actually wanted to compromise and settle the matter as long as the other party's offer was acceptable.
But Gao Jianfei didn't!
Gouzi squinted at Gao Jianfei, already forming an assessment in his mind: "Young, impulsive, but with his delicate skin, he shouldn't be a difficult character to deal with. Besides, a family like that can't possibly have a very powerful background."
You see, the lower Gouzi tries to get the compensation for this kind of demolition, the more kickback he gets. So, he can't be fooled by Gao Jianfei.
"Hmph, looks like you're asking for it. What, shall we talk outside?" Gouzi threatened. The others who had come with him also stood up. "...Let's talk outside!"
Chapter 167 Don't dare hit me? Then hit me!
Chapter 167 Don't dare hit me? Then hit me!
"Come on, young man, let's go outside and talk!" Gouzi looked at Gao Jianfei with a mocking expression.
In fact, calling Gao Jianfei out wasn't really about doing anything to him. There were dozens of thugs outside, posing as members of the demolition office. If Gao Jianfei went out, they could easily surround him, their tattoos flashing, which would be enough to intimidate him.
Young people like Gao Jianfei, intimidated by that kind of intimidation, would most likely take the initiative to back down. Those who were less capable might even kneel down and beg.
If Gao Jianfei remained stubborn, they would beat him up, as long as they didn't kill or maim him. They would beat him until he gave in.
To be honest, given the current housing prices in ZG city, even if you were to take away the 15 square meters that should have been given to the relocated residents as a preferential compensation, it would still amount to nearly 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. These thugs like Gouzi live off the commissions from that.
"Heh, let's talk outside? That's fine too." Gao Jianfei nodded calmly and actually took the initiative to walk outside. Before leaving, Gao Jianfei turned back to his father and aunt and said, "Dad, Aunt, you two stay at home and tell Xiaoxian not to come out either. I'll handle these things myself. Oh, and Aunt, just keep an eye on Xiaoxian for me. I'll be home in a bit."
At this moment, Gao Jianfei's tone was very much like that of the head of the family, not allowing his aunt and father to refute him!
Gao Jianfei walked out with his head held high. Gouzi and the others were taken aback for a moment, but they weren't afraid of him. There were many of them, and they were people who often fought, caused trouble, and bullied the kind-hearted. Therefore, they weren't intimidated by Gao Jianfei's composure.
The group went straight out the door.
Aunt and Gao Jin exchanged a glance.
"I...I'll call the police!" the aunt muttered, then picked up her phone.
Gao Jin thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Sister, don't mention the demolition. Just say it's about thugs robbing and fighting. Yeah, whatever you do, don't mention the demolition. If you do, the police definitely won't come."
Surrounded by Gouzi and several other thugs, Gao Jianfei walked towards the outside.
Under the old locust trees at the street corner, dozens of thugs covered in tattoos were playing cards, chugging beer from bottles, or smoking cigarettes and enjoying the shade under the trees.
Along the way, the residents who were huddled at their doorways were heartbroken to see Gao Jianfei being taken out of their homes by thugs like Gouzi and taken to the old locust tree!
Everyone has witnessed firsthand how many dissatisfied residents were taken there, beaten, and forced to sign agreements to relocate.
Some people call the police, but the police cars always arrive after the person has been assaulted. The handling methods are always the same… This kind of beating is classified as a civil dispute, not a criminal case. Usually, the victim's side will only receive a few thousand yuan in medical expenses, and for more serious cases, it'll be settled for a few thousand yuan.
Gao Jianfei glanced up and saw that there were 35 thugs over there, all with menacing eyes.
But Gao Jianfei remained unfazed. He had seen real battles in G province, and these minor characters were no match for him.
And so, he walked over calmly.
"Hey guys, this kid's got a tickle, let's give him a piece of our minds! Ha!" Gouzi barked triumphantly as soon as he got over.
So, 35 thugs, some throwing down their cards and others grabbing beer bottles, surrounded them.
"Fuck you..." A thug casually flicked his cigarette butt directly at Gao Jianfei's face!
Gao Jianfei slightly tilted his head to avoid them, then glanced at the thugs with disdain. "I only have one thing to say... If you compensate me according to the rules, my family can move; if not, then I'm sorry!"
"...You're blinded by greed!" a dozen thugs roared angrily. "Believe it or not, we'll kill you!"
This is the first step... intimidation!
On a silver Lexus sedan not far away.
Zeng Jian witnessed all of this through the glass window.
It's important to know that Zeng Jian was the overall person in charge of this project, the boss of "Zeng's Real Estate Development Co., Ltd." He knew that demolition work was very tricky, so he would come over for several hours almost every day to inspect the site and handle any emergencies.
At this moment, Zeng Jian saw Gao Jianfei and laughed, a cold laugh. "Ha! I know this kid! He's a complete idiot! Last time I had a few drinks and hit his mom with my car, and he actually wanted to argue with me to my face... Isn't that hilarious?"
Zeng Jian said to one of his bodyguards.
The bodyguard also wore a mocking smile. "Young Master Jian, some people in this society are like this. They're clearly laughable, insignificant ants, yet they keep talking about fairness and morality. They're really out of their minds. Maybe they've read too much and ruined their brains. They don't realize that the so-called fairness in this world is designed for people like Young Master Jian. Ha, I find it ironic. What does he want to do today? Argue his case? I think he deserves a beating! Young Master Jian, look at him, he still has that nonchalant expression... He really is someone with a problem in his head!"
"Pfft... Indeed, last time in front of Century Karaoke, he was so righteous, so brave, blocking me and lecturing me, ha... Hmm, let's get out of the car and play with him. This kind of idiot is fun. After all, there are very few people like him in the world, aren't there?" Zeng Jian's sarcasm grew even more intense. He jumped out of the car, whistling as he walked towards Gao Jianfei.
Over there with Gao Jianfei.
Dozens of people surrounded Gao Jianfei, shouting threats...
"I'll sever your tendons, you believe me?"
I'll destroy you!
"You better behave yourself and sign this, or I'll make you lie down right now!"
Gao Jianfei remained silent. He knew he was facing nothing more than a group of bullies who preyed on the weak. These kinds of people could be easily dealt with by either Dongxing Yaohui's forces or Zheng Bang Tang Bao's men.
Although Gao Jianfei was not afraid, the neighbors were on tenterhooks. Some timid women and children didn't dare to watch and went back inside.
Seeing Gao Jianfei becoming increasingly calm, Gouzi was enraged. So many people, and they can't even handle a young man? What's the point of living?
So, Gouzi winked at a few of his trusted men, and they were about to make their move!
At this very moment...
"Ha, kid, it's you again?" Zeng Jian smiled and pushed through the crowd, standing face to face with Gao Jianfei less than 3 meters away!
Zeng Jian's face displayed a variety of expressions: ridicule, mockery, disdain, and sarcasm!
“Zeng Jian!” Gao Jianfei’s eyes immediately glared at Zeng Jian.
In that instant, Gao Jianfei thought of his mother, who was hardworking and simple all her life; who would get up early every morning to prepare breakfast for him; who would buy apples and secretly eat the peels while giving the fruit to Gao Jianfei!
My beloved mother!
I'm lying in bed right now!
You must not move an inch!
There was only a faint heartbeat and pulse!
Blood vessels slowly appeared in Gao Jianfei's eyes. His fists were clenched and his shoulders twitched slightly.
"Heh, you're angry?" Zeng Jian chuckled mockingly. "Some people's anger is terrifying. But when ants get angry, it's not scary. It just makes people think... it's ridiculous. And you happen to be one of those ants. Hey, don't be so unconvinced. Look at your family, everyone's disabled, some are in a vegetative state, you don't even have a proper job, you live in a slum. Tell me, aren't you an ant?" He paused, then added, "By the way, is your mother's condition any better? Can she eat by herself now?"
“…” Gao Jianfei suddenly took a step forward.
At this moment, Gao Jianfei was torn between two thoughts, and one of them was: ...kill him!
Another thought came to mind: ...Never hurt this kind of person in public; if you're going to do something, do it behind closed doors!
"What are you doing? Fuck you... Get back here! You want to lay a hand on our young master Jian?" The group of thugs quickly surrounded Zeng Jian and protected him.
"Get out of my way!" Zeng Jian shoved the crowd aside with disdain, then took a step closer to Gao Jianfei. "...What do you want? Want to hit me? I'll give you face today! Hit me! If you don't hit me, you're a dog... born of a mother!" He really couldn't stand Gao Jianfei's impulse to hit someone just now.
On what grounds?
What gives Gao Jianfei, a nobody like a piece of duckweed, the right to act so arrogantly in front of him?
Reason and impulse are always two different realms.
Despite his repeated restraint, Gao Jianfei's composure had indeed deepened after experiencing many things, allowing him to remain calm. However, at this point, with people already taking advantage of his kindness, could Gao Jianfei still tolerate it?
"You hit me..."
"Slap!" Gao Jianfei slapped Zeng Jian's fair face!
"Uh..." A bright red five-palm mark immediately appeared on Zeng Jian's left cheek. His body trembled, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
However, he didn't seem to feel any pain.
He was stunned. Utterly stunned.
He didn't believe Gao Jianfei would really dare to fight.
Theoretically speaking, an ant wouldn't dare to bite an elephant.
But it really did bite.
The group of thugs were instantly stunned, like clay sculptures or wooden statues.
The neighbors over there were constantly rubbing their eyes.
The entire area was unusually quiet.
"Slap!" Gao Jianfei delivered another heavy slap to Zeng Jian's other cheek, then kicked him away!
Zeng Jian flew through the air, tracing a graceful arc before landing in a parabola, losing three teeth in the process!
He braced himself on the ground with both hands, trying to get up, but failed after one attempt. Then, he braced himself on the ground again and finally managed to lift his head. "You motherfucker! Hit me! Hit me to death! You dare hit me, Zeng Jian? You motherfucker! Kill me! I'll take responsibility if you kill me!"
Although Gao Jianfei hit Zeng Jian, he didn't use his full strength; he couldn't possibly kill someone on the spot. Therefore, Zeng Jian is ungrateful and is now shouting that he wants to kill Gao Jianfei.
"beat!"
The dozens of thugs finally realized what was happening and attacked Gao Jianfei in a gang-like manner.
but……
