Chapter 290: Chapter 290 No One Dares to Move

Chen Dashan finished speaking and hurried back to the intersection with Qi Shuzhu and the others.

"Brother Dashan, look over there!" Qin Xuan pointed her small finger at the road not far away. The narrow, dilapidated road was strung with banners, roadblocks were placed on the pavement, and a mess of shared bicycles was thrown around.

Qi Shuzhu said, "These people are too much, they deserve not to get new houses. This is to stop the construction crew from entering. There were none of these things when we came. Their actions are really quick." Qi Shuzhu crossed her arms, fuming.

Several girls frowned and said, "It shouldn’t be like this. Those old men and women seemed very welcoming earlier. I don’t think they were pretending!"

"Who knows, it’s not just this road. Look at all the roads accessible by cars, they’ve all been cordoned off."

Chen Dashan narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed the situation wasn’t that simple, so he could only observe for now.

When they arrived at the entrance of the small shop where they parked, Chen Dashan saw from a distance a group of people holding steel bars and clubs. They were all burly and shirtless, with many having large tattoos, making it clear they were not law-abiding citizens.

The elderly men who had been playing cards under the shop’s eaves all huddled in the corners, looking at the group in horror.

"Brother Dashan..." Qinxuan’s little face was tense, clutching Chen Dashan’s shirt.

Several girls’ faces also changed color. Chen Dashan comforted them, "It’s okay, I’ll go take a look first."

With that, Chen Dashan quickened his pace and walked towards the small shop.

"Clang!"

"Clang!" A loud noise came, and Chen Dashan looked up to see two thugs raising steel bars, smashing the front windshield of a Range Rover.

The glass shattered instantly, scattering shimmering fragments all over the ground.

Several elderly people were trembling with fear, squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands. One of them couldn’t help but tremble, "Stop smashing, this is the car of Boss Chen from Liu’s Construction. He’s here to develop the houses. You can’t do this."

"Hahaha..."

The leading thug had dark skin, stood about 1.8 meters tall, and laughed loudly with his steel bar pointing at the squatting elderly, "The car I want to smash today is Chen Dashan’s. Not only will I smash it, but I’ll also burn it. He says he’s got the right to develop the shantytown? Did he inform our boss?"

"Who gave him the guts?"

"I’m also a resident of the shantytown. I say no demolition, and anyone who dares to touch it, I’ll cripple them!"

The burly man shouted arrogantly, and the dozen or so thugs behind him, even more lawless, picked up their steel bars and smashed the Range Rover wildly.

A good car turned to scrap in an instant, with the metal dented and all glass shattered, even the tires were not spared.

"Done smashing yet?"

As the group was in the midst of their frenzy, a cold voice suddenly came from behind them.

The leading thug paused, frowned, and turned around to see a young man in his early twenties, dressed casually and simply, standing behind him with cold eyes staring at him, without any fear, unlike the people from the shantytown.

"Kid, get lost, mind your own business, or you won’t know how you died!"

The leading thug spoke arrogantly.

Chen Dashan had a cold smile on his lips, took a step forward, looked down at the fragments on the ground, and said lightly, "You smashed my car!"

As soon as he said this, the dozen or so thugs stopped their efforts, each holding weapons, looking up and gathering around Chen Dashan.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

The residents huddled in the corner were all full of panic, looking at Chen Dashan with sympathetic eyes.

Standing straight in the crowd, Chen Dashan didn’t move. The leading thug looked him up and down with a playful expression, "Your car?"

"You are Chen Dashan? I warn you..."

"Smack!"

Before the leading thug Hu San could finish his words, Chen Dashan slapped him across the face.

Hu San’s whole face deformed, staggering backward a few steps, hitting the dented Range Rover, and just barely stabilizing himself. Blood flowed from Hu San’s mouth and nose, and his brain buzzed. After a long time, he finally reacted, opening his mouth and spitting out two yellow teeth mixed with blood.

"Damn, you dare to hit me!"

"Fuck you, boys, kill him!"

"Little bastard, you dare touch my brother..."

At this moment, all the thugs finally reacted, each raising their clubs and steel bars, rushing towards Chen Dashan. Chen Dashan frowned slightly; he disliked fighting with ordinary people, but some people just couldn’t see the big picture.

Chen Dashan performed a sweeping leg.

"Boom!" The thugs rushing over were kicked away by a huge force, one person pressing down on another, screaming repeatedly.

Chen Dashan’s face darkened as he looked at Hu San, who was dripping with cold sweat, looking at his comrades on the ground. He gripped the car’s metal with his hands, his mouth twitching in fear, stuttering, "Let... let’s talk calmly."

"Talk calmly?"

"Now you want to talk calmly?" Chen Dashan kicked Hu San in the stomach, the entire car body of the imposing Range Rover tilting from side to side. Hu San slumped to the ground like mud, his face twisted in pain. He clutched his stomach in terror, looking at Chen Dashan, "Brother, please spare me!"

"I... I know I was wrong, please let me go!"

Hu San lay on the ground, his face pale with pain.

The once arrogant thugs now looked at Chen Dashan as if he was a demon from hell, each quivering on their legs and nobody dared to step forward.

Chen Dashan glanced over.

"Ahhh... don’t hit me, don’t hit me!"

"Bang bang bang!"

A dozen or more thugs scrambled to throw down their weapons, each squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands. Chen Dashan frowned, looking at his Range Rover. These bastards dared to smash and burn his car. They were not just ordinary thugs.

Thinking of this, Chen Dashan spoke coldly, "Speak, who sent you?"

The thugs squatting on the ground looked at each other, no one dared to speak.

"Boss Chen, they are Deng Tiancheng’s men!"

"Deng Tiancheng doesn’t allow the development, so he sent people to cause trouble. What should we do?"

"Yes, does it mean we will be stuck in this place forever?"

The elderly men in the corner were full of melancholy, their expressions helpless.

Deng Tiancheng?

Chen Dashan frowned slightly. He had never heard of this name before. Someone who could single-handedly obstruct a government development project had to be a formidable character.

"Don’t worry, the shantytown development project is in my hands. If I want to develop it, no one can stop me." Chen Dashan proclaimed. The residents in the corner stood up one after another, walking towards Chen Dashan with gratitude. One of them said, "Boss Chen, you are a good man, but Deng Tiancheng is not easy to deal with."

"They have already threatened that any family agreeing to demolish will face mysterious disappearances."
