Chapter 123: Stirring Trouble!

Inside the house.

Listening to the cursing and shouting from outside, Li Biao’s face was as pale as paper.

In this situation, how could he have the courage to open the door?

But he was also confused.

What was going on?

He was just an ordinary person running a small business; how would he know what the Qiankun Group was up to?

And how could the authorities be building the Metro Line 5 to Li Jia Zhuang?

What was going on?

If he had known all this, not only would he have refused the two million, he wouldn’t have sold even for nine million!

“Damn it, that Shen guy, you’re pushing me into the fire pit!”

Li Biao slumped, feeling hopeless.

“Li Biao, get out here!”

“Yeah, you can hide now, but can you hide forever?”

“You bastard, if you don’t come out within three minutes, I’ll kick your door down!”

The angry shouts grew louder and louder.

Every time Li Biao heard them, his whole body trembled, and he became even more afraid to open the door.

But with the situation having reached this point, could he really be blamed?

When he first mentioned that a boss wanted to buy out Li Jia Zhuang and offer over a million for a house, no one in the village objected. Everyone was thrilled.

Before Shen Fei came, people kept asking him when that boss would come to buy their houses.

After Shen Fei arrived, people were even happier, each family immediately took out their land title deeds.

Could he be blamed for that?

He even bought his own house!

But these are things anyone would understand, but could the villagers accept it?

Clearly not.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such an uproar today, with everyone surrounding his house.

Without a doubt, the villagers of Li Jia Zhuang must have thought that he and that boss were scamming them!

“Da Biao, what the hell are you doing? You’re bringing trouble to your own family!”

Li Biao’s wife, with a mournful face, started to complain.

“Is this my fault? When I brought it up, did anyone object? Didn’t they all happily agree? Even when the boss hadn’t come yet, they kept asking me when he would come! How could I know that the metro line would go through our village? How could I know the Qiankun Group would build a soccer field there?”

“Always complaining! If I had known, I wouldn’t have sold even for eight million!”

Li Biao groaned in frustration.

This situation was also making him feel wronged!

“Then just open the door and explain all this to them! We can’t keep hiding in here! I’m suffocating!”

Li Biao’s wife’s voice carried a whine of distress.

“If they would listen, I would have opened the door already! But can they listen? Right now, they’re all riled up, and if I go out, they might beat me to death!”

Her words made Li Biao want to cry too.

But where could he cry? Outside was full of wolves and tigers.

“What should we do? There’s nothing in this room, how are we supposed to drag this out?”

Li Biao’s wife looked at him with a face full of resentment.

“What can we do? Oh right, quickly call the police! When the officers arrive, I don’t believe they’ll still be so arrogant!”

Li Biao spat angrily.

“Alright, alright!”

His wife quickly responded.

She then took out her phone.

But then she realized it might be a little too late to call the police now.

The main reason was that the police had already arrived at their house.

The disturbances from this household had already caused discontent among other residents.

Just the shouting alone had led to multiple complaints.

With too many complaints, the property management couldn’t bear it anymore and reported it to the authorities.

“What’s all this shouting about? This is a residential area, do you know you’re disturbing the public? Quiet down and tell me, what’s the reason for all this noise?”

Several police officers, dressed in formal attire, walked into the 120-square-meter room sternly.

At their command, the ruckus inside gradually quieted down.

“Comrades, this is really not our fault! It’s all that bastard Li Biao, he’s too black-hearted and heartless!”

Seeing the police, the villagers from Li Jia Zhuang seemed to have found an outlet for their anger.

“What happened? Get to the point! Where is this person you’re talking about?”

The officers asked.

“That bastard Li Biao is hiding in that small room! He’s been deceiving all of us in Li Jia Zhuang!”

The villager who had spoken earlier explained.

The officers were momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

Li Jia Zhuang?

How coincidental.

They had heard about Li Jia Zhuang earlier this afternoon.

It was said that Metro Line 5 would be passing through the village, and that Qiankun Group would be building a soccer field there.

These two developments had directly increased the value of land in that area by several times.

And it had made Li Jia Zhuang, a previously remote name, appear on the radar.

“Why are you saying this?”

This sounds like good news, so why would the villagers be saying such things?

“Let me tell you…”

As soon as the topic was mentioned, the villagers from Li Jia Zhuang became full of indignation.

One after another, they began to explain what had happened.

After they finished explaining, the leading villager said angrily,

“Officer, today, you have to make Li Biao come out and give us an explanation! Otherwise, we’ll stay here forever!”

Hearing this demand, the officers were momentarily speechless.

Did this… make any sense?

“Bring that Li Biao out first!”

Although the officers were stunned, they quickly got to work.

Li Biao and his wife, trembling, walked out of the room.

As soon as the villagers saw Li Biao, their emotions flared up again.

“Damn it, Li Biao, you finally came out!”

“Li Biao, give us our land back!”

“Li Biao, you bastard, betraying your own people!”

One after another, curses flew through the air.

Soon, the room was filled with shouting again.

“Quiet! Everyone be quiet! Keep disturbing the peace, and I’ll arrest all of you!”

One of the officers shouted loudly.

This brought the chaotic scene under control once more.

Meanwhile, Li Biao shrank into a corner, looking terrified.

“Officer, you have to help me! How can this be my fault? If anyone is a victim here, it’s me! I sold my house too, didn’t I?”

Li Biao spoke weakly, feeling unjustified.

“Li Biao, speak with some conscience! Wasn’t it you who said there would never be another opportunity like this? If it wasn’t for your constant urging, would we have sold? If we hadn’t sold, now it wouldn’t just be a million, we might have been talking ten million! We don’t care, you have to get our land back!”

“Yeah, that land must come back! We don’t care about anything else, we just want our land back!”

“I bet you’ve already made a deal with that boss, and now you’re intentionally scamming us! People like you, so clever in business, could never be deceived by others, right?”

“If we can’t get the land back, then have that boss pay us compensation! Three or four million would be fine, but we can’t lose out!”

“Li Biao, stop pretending to be dumb! You’re betraying us, you scumbag!”
