(Four More) In the heart of Laiya International.

Jiang Weiwei knelt on the ground, her entire figure slumped like a pile of mud, by her side stood Jiang Cheng’s couple.

“Weiwei, don’t be heartbroken!”

“Exactly, if he calls off the engagement, we won’t marry him!”

The couple consoled her, but they also knew that if the Tang Family called off the engagement, it meant their family would completely lose their status within the clan.

“Mom, am I not pretty?” Jiang Weiwei asked.

“No, my Weiwei is very pretty!”

“But why does he want to call off the engagement?

He clearly could have married me!” Jiang Weiwei said, as if she had lost her soul.

“That’s because he doesn’t have the fortune!” Jiang Cheng’s parents continued.

At that moment, Tang Lin looked with a dark gaze at the bodyguards collapsed on the ground.

Tang Zhong was indeed as formidable as the legends said; no wonder the elders in his family had always insisted on bringing Tang Zhong back.

But this annoyed Tang Lin deeply.

“A child born to a low-ranking one, no matter how capable you are, you can’t escape the palm of our Tang Family.

Just wait, Tang Zhong, you will have to come back!”

At night, Tang Zhong sat by the seaside, staring at the expanse of water, deep in thought.

In his mind, aside from the images of his parents, was the painful silhouette of Jiang Weiwei kneeling on the ground.

Every shadow in Tang Zhong’s mind was a source of discomfort for him.

Now, although he had called off the wedding and could leave Xuan Country, he found himself somewhat reluctant to go.

He knew that if he phoned Monkey right now, a private helicopter would soon arrive in Jianghai to take him back to Zhan Long’s base.

But with his cell phone in hand, he couldn’t bring himself to dial that number.

Suddenly, the strange sensation inside Tang Zhong’s body flared up again, unbearably hot.

He clenched his fists tightly, trying to keep himself a bit more lucid.

But the heat was so intense that soon his skin turned bright red, and not only that—it was emitting steam.

Tang Zhong couldn’t bear it any longer.

He roared and gazed at the water in front of him.

He jumped straight in.

Perhaps because the seawater was relatively chilly, when he plunged in, his body’s intense heat caused the water to release rising steam, indicating how high his body temperature was.

However, in the water, Tang Zhong gradually regained composure.

It took a while before he climbed out of the water, gasping for air, his upper body bare and muscles on display, a Dragon Jade hanging around his neck, now faintly flickering with light.

Tang Zhong took hold of the Dragon Jade and let out a deep sigh.

“I’ve had you since I was a child; you’ve been with me the longest.

You even saved my life, but now, it seems you want to take it too.

But could you not be so eager and let me live a little longer?”

At that moment, the Dragon Jade suddenly lit up, its feeble radiance quickly disappearing.

Tang Zhong saw this and began to smile, “Thank you!”

Having recovered, he stood up, deciding not to think too much; he would return to Zhan Long and take things as they come.

The only discomfort was owing some people an apology.

But then, his phone rang.

Tang Zhong picked up the phone and saw it was Xin Xiaotong.

He answered, ready to tell her he was leaving.

But just as he answered the call, an urgent voice came through.

“Brother Tang, where are you?

Someone is forcibly demolishing our Shallow Bay community!”

Demolition?

Tang Zhong’s expression grew grim.

Xiaotong’s voice was so anxious; she must have been treated unjustly.

But Tang Zhong had already decided to leave.

Remembering everyone from Shallow Bay, Tang Zhong gritted his teeth.

He would treat this as the last thing he did before leaving.

He immediately turned around, hailed a taxi on the roadside, and headed towards the Shallow Bay community.

At that very moment, within the Shallow Bay community.

Yet it presented an entirely different scene.

It was already night, and given that this area was suburban, there usually weren’t many people around.

But today, an unusually large crowd had gathered here.

Vehicles’ headlights illuminated the entire community from outside.

Parked in front of the community were over a hundred excavators, along with many trucks.

Standing in front of the vehicles was a group of rough-looking individuals, each holding a club, with only the leader looking somewhat scholarly.

Inside the Shallow Bay community, all the locals were there; Aunt Xin, old man Gu, and the others were all present, firmly locking the community gates to prevent outsiders from entering.

At that moment, the scholarly-looking leader, holding a megaphone, shouted, “Residents of Shallow Bay, according to the terms of the contract, you should open the gates now and cooperate with our demolition.

So please, stop resisting!”

In response, the people inside Shallow Bay immediately retorted, “The contract states that you’re to pay us first, then we will leave and cooperate with the demolition.

You haven’t paid us a single cent, yet you want to demolish our homes.

That’s not happening!”

The scholarly leader replied, “Rest assured, once we demolish the structures, we will definitely pay.

So please, just cooperate with us!”

If it were any other day, the people of Shallow Bay might have opened the gate since they were uneducated and unaware, but today was different because Wu Xiaoyu was there.

She was very knowledgeable about demolitions and could tell there was definitely something wrong with the so-called demolition in front of them.

Therefore, she instructed the villagers not to open the gates and to prevent these people from entering.

At the same time, she asked Xin Xiaotong to call Tang Zhong.

“We won’t open the gates for you,” Wu Xiaoyu said.

“Besides, demolition is supposed to happen during daylight.

It’s too late for that now, and even if you demolish, where would we live?”

She dared not provoke these people, for if they got angry and charged in, their small group wouldn’t be able to hold them back.

The face of the scholarly leader darkened.

By his side, a brawny man in a tank top said, “Boss Liang, seems like these country folks are onto us, sensing something’s not right with our contract, eh?”

The man referred to as Boss Liang, with a grim expression, retorted, “They’re just a bunch of peasants.

They’ve already signed the contract; resistance is futile.

We’ll give them one more chance.

If they don’t seize it, we’ll start forced demolition…”

“Alright, Boss Liang, but what if someone gets killed?” the brawny man asked.

Boss Liang replied ominously, “So what if someone dies?

When we demolished Xuanjing City back then, people died as well, and am I not safe and sound now?

Don’t worry, our Ping’an Group isn’t afraid of such incidents,” Boss Liang said.

Hearing this, the brawny man realized what to do next and turned to his brothers behind him, “Brothers, get ready.

The moment I give the order, you act!”

“Understood, big brother!” The people behind the brawny man got ready – some climbed onto the excavators, some onto the trucks, others held clubs, all waiting for their leader’s command to start the forceful demolition.

This scene unfolded before the eyes of everyone inside the Shallow Bay community, making them collectively inhale sharply.

Looking at the formation, it was apparent these people were set on a forced demolition.

“What do we do?”

“These are all young men; we can’t beat them!”

“Exactly!”

Everyone started to panic, looking up to Wu Xiaoyu as she was the most educated among them and hoping she would have a solution.

But Wu Xiaoyu was panicking too, desperately trying to maintain her composure, as she was the pillar of their community; she couldn’t afford to fall into disarray.

At that time, Boss Liang, observing Wu Xiaoyu and the others, smiled and said, “Folks, rest assured, tonight we will definitely arrange a place for you to stay.

So have confidence in our Ping’an Group!”

But not a single villager responded.

Seeing this, Boss Liang’s gaze turned menacing, and with a grand gesture, he commanded, “Go ahead – move in!”

Eat the toast rather than bear the consequences of refusing it.

Upon receiving the order, the operators of the excavators and trucks started up their engines.

The lights shone on the gates of Shallow Bay community.

The people inside the community were suddenly thrown into chaos.

The forced demolition was imminent.

Just then, a taxi came speeding in like a bolt of lightning, screeching to a halt with a 180-degree turn at the community’s entrance.

Afterward, Tang Zhong emerged from the driver’s seat, tossing the fare onto the lap of the taxi driver in the back seat, who was nearly scared senseless by the high-speed chase.

“Driver, your fare!”
