"You bitch, how dare you hit me!"
Hou Dong was furious and raised his hand to slap Fang Xiuxiu across the face. However, the slap stopped in mid-air before it could land.
"Let go of me, you bastard!" Hou Dong roared.
It was naturally Li Se who had grabbed Hou Dong's arm. He raised his other hand and sent Hou Dong flying with a slap.
"Brother Hou!"
"Brother Hou!"
A group of thugs exclaimed in shock.
"Drive the excavator over here and demolish this house!" Hou Dong yelled.
At Hou Dong's command, the excavator started and drove towards Fang Xiuxiu's house.
"Let's see who dares!" Fang Xiuxiu shouted coldly.
"Miss, you'd best get out of the way. If you get run over, don't blame us!" Hou Dong said fiercely. Of course, he didn't dare to actually kill anyone, but scaring them was fine.
He then looked at Li Se and waved his hand, "Come, arrest this beauty and that kid. How dare they interfere with our demolition!"
But before the thugs could act, Li Se walked towards the excavator. As the excavator approached him, the large bucket was about to touch Li Se.
Li Se let out a cold shout and grabbed the large bucket with his bare hands. His Qi circulation technique was pushed to its limit, causing the entire excavator to tremble. In the next second, it was flipped over.
The excavator driver was scared out of his wits. He couldn't believe it. Although this excavator wasn't a large one, it still weighed several tons, and it had been flipped over so easily.
The thugs who were about to grab Li Se immediately stopped, their foreheads covered in cold sweat.
Hou Dong swallowed hard. At this moment, a scene from an anti-Japanese war drama flashed through his mind – tearing enemies apart with bare hands. Damn it, with Li Se's strength, he probably could do that.
"Are you still going to demolish it?" Li Se asked Hou Dong coldly.
"This..." Hou Dong was momentarily speechless. He was still stunned by the sight of Li Se flipping the excavator and hadn't recovered.
"Why are you still here? Hurry up and demolish it! Your efficiency is too slow. How did the excavator flip over?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over, holding a beer. He was extremely dissatisfied with the efficiency of Hou Dong and the others.
"Manager Feng, someone is obstructing us." Seeing the middle-aged man appear, Hou Dong felt reassured. So what if Li Se was strong? He couldn't possibly tear them apart, could he?
"Who dares to obstruct us?" Manager Feng frowned, clearly displeased. His gaze quickly swept over Li Se and Fang Xiuxiu.
He completely ignored Li Se, but Fang Xiuxiu's delicate appearance immediately ignited a desire to protect her in him.
"Oh my, little sister, come with me, and I'll protect you from now on." Manager Feng immediately approached Fang Xiuxiu.
"Are you the captain of the demolition team?" Li Se asked coldly.
"I am!" Manager Feng glanced at Li Se with some disdain. "You'd best not obstruct our demolition, or you'll face serious consequences!"
"Does your demolition team only do forced demolitions?" Li Se asked again.
"Do we need to report our demolition methods to you?" Manager Feng was angry and pointed at Li Se. "Who do you think you are, daring to point fingers at me here?"
*Crack!*
Li Se grabbed Manager Feng's finger and bent it back: "Don't point your finger at me!"
"Ah!" Manager Feng cried out in pain.
"Manager Feng!" Hou Dong exclaimed in alarm. "Are you alright?"
"Damn it, what's going on with the excavator? How did it flip over? Fix it quickly and level this place!" Manager Feng shouted.
"Manager Feng, he flipped the excavator," Hou Dong said.
Manager Feng was stunned. He glanced at the excavator, then at the others. They all nodded. This made him gasp. Was this the strength of a human? To flip an excavator?
"Kid, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're strong. We've acquired this area, and we've paid the demolition compensation. Therefore, our demolition is justified and in accordance with the rules!" Manager Feng began to reason with Li Se.
"You're only compensating five hundred per square meter, and you tell me this is in accordance with the rules?" Fang Xiuxiu said angrily.
"This is a remote mountain village, so what's wrong with five hundred per square meter?" Manager Feng said dismissively. "Take the five hundred. What can you do if we don't want to give it?"
"You can try?" Li Se's gaze was icy.
Manager Feng shivered. Damn it, he had encountered a tough nut to crack. He gritted his teeth and said, "How about this, I'll give you eight hundred per square meter. Is that acceptable?"
"Eight hundred per square meter?" Li Se said sarcastically. "You really know how to make money. Although this place is remote, housing prices in Qingyun City are at least five thousand. You're offering eight hundred per square meter. I think those you've demolished are all forced demolitions, right?"
Manager Feng snorted, "I think you're just unreasonable people. I'm telling you, I have connections in the bureau. You'd best take the eight hundred per square meter and get lost, or I'll call the police and have you arrested!"
"That's right. Don't think you're so great just because you're strong. We have connections, and we're from Shang Feng Group. Have you heard of it? The largest real estate company in Qingyun City. I advise you to obediently take the money and leave!" Hou Dong snorted.
"What kind of trash are you, daring to challenge us?"
"He flipped the excavator, I think he should compensate for the excavator!"
"Exactly, the excavator suffered heavy losses. They should be compensated one hundred per square meter, and the rest should be used to compensate the excavator!"
"..."
Although these thugs were somewhat afraid of Li Se, they had connections, and they were certain Li Se wouldn't dare to do anything to them. If they really fought, Li Se would only be in more trouble.
"Shang Feng Group?" Li Se sneered. "I said I know your boss, do you believe me?"
"You know our boss?" Manager Feng and the others were stunned, then burst into laughter.
"What kind of person are you, even daring to say you know our boss?"
"Does he think he can get to know many important figures just because he's strong?"
"Ridiculous. I really don't know who gave him the courage to say something like that, and even claim to know our boss. Humph!"
"Our Manager Feng has worked at Shang Feng Group for so long, and he's only seen the boss a few times, which was a great honor!"
"..."
Clearly, no one believed Li Se knew Shang Zhifeng.
"Alright, if you know him, come on, let our boss come!" Manager Feng said dismissively.
Li Se was too lazy to argue with them and directly called Shang Zhifeng...
