Qiu Shi exclaimed in surprise, "There really is such a resident! I wonder why Young Master Fan is asking about this?"
Few people knew that Chen Gang was backed by the Fan family in Beijing, but people of Qiu Shi and Cai Lan's status were still able to find some clues.
Therefore, they were closely following the recent events involving Li Yang and Chen Gang's family, speculating about the reasons behind them, and secretly pleased. If Li Yang had offended the Fan family in Beijing, that would be a truly gratifying thing. In that case, the Fan family would help them eliminate Li Yang, solving the problem without spending any money or effort—a really great thing!
Fan Xian, however, remained calm, leaning back casually on the sofa and saying, "Everyone knows how lucrative the real estate market is. A portion of the profits comes from compensating residents. Am I right?"
"Young Master Fan has some knowledge of real estate, huh?" Qiu Shi chuckled. This was an open secret in the industry; everyone knew it but kept quiet, making a fortune in silence.
Fan Xian stared at Qiu Shi and said, "Brother Qiu, you seem very confident about this demolition project?"
Qiu Shi chuckled and said, "Having a few capable subordinates is no problem!" A burly, dark-skinned man standing behind Qiu Shi grinned silently, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
He stared intently at Luo Tian behind Fan Xian, his gaze filled with provocation. Luo Tian was Qiu Shi's bodyguard, concurrently serving as the head of the security department at Hongtu Group, and also the captain of the demolition team.
He had been staring at Luo Tian defiantly ever since Luo Tian entered the room. But Luo Tian seemed oblivious, ignoring his provocation and remaining expressionless as he stood quietly behind Fan Xian.
Fan Xian sneered inwardly; they were trying to make him the scapegoat.
"Is that so? Brother Qiu, do you think I know anything about this Li Dongming family?" Fan Xian said with a sneer.
“They should know. Otherwise, why would they be paying attention to him!” Qiu Shi said.
"I think Boss Qiu knows better than I do!" Fan Xian sneered.
"Didn't Young Master Fan come to see me about something? Why are you getting entangled in this?" Qiu Shi avoided answering.
"Why am I getting caught up in this? Do you think I'm stupid? I came here with all my heart, and you're trying to play mind games with me! Do you think I'm easy to talk to and a fool?!" Fan Xian suddenly flew into a rage, jumped up, pointed at Qiu Shi's nose, and cursed.
Qiu Shi's face immediately turned very ugly. In all the years he had been chairman, almost no one dared to speak loudly in front of him. Even the municipal party secretary would smile at him.
He was suddenly being verbally abused to his face, and he couldn't take it anymore. His face darkened, and he coldly snorted, "Young Master Fan, are you getting too agitated? Don't you know what negotiation is?"
"You motherfucker! I was talking to you about cooperation to deal with Li Yang! You think you can play dirty tricks on me? Do you think I'm stupid enough to be easily killed?" Fan Xian shouted, pointing at Qiu Shi's nose.
"Fan Xian! Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you're the successor of the Fan family! Don't forget, this is Jiangdong City! Not the capital!" Qiu Shi was also furious, shouting with a stern face.
Hearing Qiu Shi's angry roar, Xing Ming, who had been standing behind him, roared and charged out like a tiger descending a mountain. He jumped over the back of a sofa that was half a person's height and pounced on Fan Xian like a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep.
Fan Xian's expression changed, but his martial arts skills were also quite high. Faced with such an attack, although he felt somewhat uneasy, he wasn't terrified. His martial arts were not low, but he had hardly participated in any actual combat. Therefore, he was still a little nervous when suddenly attacked.
"call--"
A figure flashed by, and Luo Tian, who had been as immovable as a mountain, suddenly moved. Moreover, his movements were so relaxed and casual, even graceful. In just a flash, he was in front of Fan Xian, blocking Xing Ming's path. Xing Ming was so shocked by the speed that his pupils suddenly contracted.
Chapter 591: Beautiful lady, what's our relationship?
"Ah—" Xing Ming roared, throwing a punch at Luo Tian, wanting to smash him into a pulp. In Jiangdong City, countless people had been crippled by his punches.
That's what he was thinking today too. He wanted to cripple this idiot big guy with one punch. That way, negotiations with Qiu Shi would be much easier, and this pretty boy who looked like a rabbit wouldn't dare to be arrogant anymore!
His punches were as ruthless and sharp as ever; he was even prepared to unleash his hidden power, intending to smash this hateful, expressionless man to pieces with one punch!
"Bang!"
Xingming's fist suddenly stopped. He didn't focus on his target; instead, it froze in mid-air. It wasn't that he was exhausted or something had happened. Rather, a foot had appeared around his waist, with one leg positioned between the two of them.
That foot was firmly planted on his waist, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge it an inch!
Holy crap!
Xing Ming was instantly enraged; it was too humiliating. He slammed his fist down, aiming straight for Luo Tian's thigh. The punch whistled through the air; if it landed, Luo Tian's leg would be broken! His entire leg would be practically useless!
"ah--"
Xingming suddenly screamed and flew backward. Before his fist could even strike, he felt a sharp pain in his waist that made it impossible for him to even feel it. The pain instantly spread throughout his body, and then his whole body shuddered and flew away.
Like a kite with a short string, it flew out and crashed hard against the wall with a loud thud, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The person fell to the ground like a rag doll, struggled a few times, and spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood, but was unable to get up.
He lay sprawled on the ground like a lump of mud.
One kick!
Yes, this expressionless man, Luo Tian, only needed to kick once to send the entire Dark Force master who had been running rampant in Jiangdong City flying and crippling him.
Luo Tian, however, had already returned to Fan Xian's back, standing quietly, neither sad nor happy, as if nothing had happened. It was as if the sharp and fierce events just now had nothing to do with him.
Fan Xian was secretly alarmed, but at the same time, he suddenly felt relieved and looked at Qiu Shi, whose face was very ugly, with a smile.
"Brother Qiu, you know Li Yang, right?"
"I know him!" Qiu Shi's imposing manner immediately weakened, and he said helplessly. But in his heart, he was truly unwilling. This criminal was a highly skilled person he had hired at a high price. Over the years, he had done a great deal for him and was his capable assistant. Today, he had been crippled by a single kick.
His heart ached terribly, but he was helpless.
“Very good. How about we discuss a collaboration?” Fan Xian asked casually.
"Speak!" Qiu Shi had no choice but to cooperate for the time being.
"I want you to compensate those people at the lowest possible price! If they cause trouble, you must tell them in a very tactful way that their compensation is so low because of Li Yang's family. Of course, you have to choose the method yourself; you can't say it directly. It would be best to have someone spread rumors! What I want is for Li Yang to be isolated, isolated and hated by those neighbors and friends! Isn't he so powerful and capable? Let's see what he does then! Does he still dare to make a move?" Fan Xian said in a very sinister way.
Qiu Shi frowned slightly and said, "If this gets out of hand, it will have a bad impact on the government!"
"You don't need to worry about that. We'll handle things from above. Besides, there are many similar cases across the country every year. Look at who's fallen from grace? Who's been punished? You can rest assured. Besides, won't you make more money doing this? All I have to do is do this, and if things get messy, the Fan family will take responsibility! What do you think of this cooperation?" Fan Xian said confidently.
Qiu Shi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Fine. I'll cooperate with you. Anyway, Li Yang is someone I have to eliminate!"
Fan Xian clapped his hands and said, "Brother Qiu, if only you had realized this sooner! Your men wouldn't have had to act like this. Wouldn't it have been better if everyone cooperated peacefully to deal with a common enemy?"
