Chapter 31 Is this kind of dilapidated resettlement site even worthy of being called a place for people to live?
The deafening roar of excavators echoed across the ruins of the western suburban chemical plant.
Lu Shixuan stood under a makeshift parasol, his feet sinking into a thick layer of dust.
He pushed up his sunglasses and glanced at the blue-roofed makeshift house not far away.
That was the temporary resettlement site he arranged for those thirteen villagers after his "violent demolition" yesterday.
System prompt: Daily task - Go to the resettlement site and humiliate the rescued villagers a second time, demonstrating the arrogance of the "giver".
Mission Rewards: 5 million in cash, 100 villain points.
Lu Shixuan let out a breath of pent-up frustration.
Finally, something simple.
Yesterday's rescue was an accident, but today I'm going to directly call them parasites. I can't let things get reversed again, can I?
Look at those makeshift houses. Although I had the housekeeper build them overnight, there's definitely no air conditioning inside.
I'm going to go and laugh at them for living in a doghouse, and I'll throw away all their old furniture while I'm at it.
Lu Shixuan, carrying a pure gold cane, swaggered toward the resettlement point.
Chu Yaoyao, wearing her faded school uniform, followed quietly behind him.
She had gotten used to not exposing the man's pretense.
She even began to enjoy the secret pleasure of "only I understand you".
At the entrance of the resettlement site, dozens of villagers were sitting together, holding steaming hot boxed meals in their hands.
A slight commotion arose in the crowd when Lu Shixuan arrived.
The old farmer who received a million-yuan compensation for the demolition yesterday, also known as Grandpa Zhang, stood up awkwardly and rubbed his hands vigorously on his clothes.
"Young Master Lu, why...why did you come in person?"
Lu Shixuan snorted coldly and used his cane to pick up an unopened boxed lunch.
"This is all you're served? A fast food meal with two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes?"
His voice was sharp and sarcastic, sounding particularly jarring on the empty construction site.
"Even my dog wouldn't eat this kind of garbage!"
"Uncle Zhang, don't think you can stay on my turf just because you took my money."
"Look at this dilapidated house, it's blocking my view of the ruins. You bunch of poor wretches gathered here, even the air is polluted!"
Lu Shixuan cursed as he strode into one of the makeshift houses.
The cramped space contained only a hardboard bed and a few old wooden crates.
Grass!
What kind of housekeeper is this?
This makeshift house is single-story, and now it's cold in late spring, so it's drafty at night, like a sieve.
These fellow villagers all suffer from rheumatism. If they stay here for one night, their legs will be useless tomorrow.
And this quilt, it's actually made of ordinary, substandard cotton?
Damn it, I budgeted the butler based on a five-star hotel budget, this guy definitely took kickbacks!
Lu Shixuan suddenly turned around and kicked the old wooden box.
"What kind of garbage is this? How dare they bring this moldy box into my territory?"
"Butler! Where have you been?!"
The butler, who had been waiting in the distance, scrambled over, drenched in cold sweat.
"Young Master Lu, I'm here..."
"Throw all this junk away! Now! Right now!"
Lu Shixuan pointed at the old belongings of those fellow villagers, his tone arrogant.
"And this dilapidated house, tear it down and replace it with a double-story, insulated mobile villa!"
"Every room must be equipped with a temperature control system and a latex mattress!"
"It's not that I feel sorry for them, it's that I'm afraid they'll freeze to death, and if word gets out that my Lu family's resettlement site is haunted, it will ruin my feng shui!"
The villagers were stunned.
Grandpa Zhang opened his mouth, and his eyes instantly reddened.
"Young Master Lu...this is unacceptable! Those mobile villas cost tens of thousands each..."
"Shut up, sir!"
Lu Shixuan glared at him fiercely.
"I have so much money I don't know what to do with it, can't I burn it for fun?"
"Whoever dares to refuse, I'll take back that one million yuan in demolition compensation!"
Lu Shixuan put his hands in his pockets, striking a pose that said, "I'm rich but also a pervert."
Phew, this wave of extravagance is done with a perfectly justified attitude.
A double-layered, insulated mobile villa costs at least 100,000 yuan per unit, so thirteen units would cost 1.3 million yuan.
With the latex mattress and temperature control system added to the mix, half of the five million reward has already been spent before it even arrived.
Now you should think I'm a moody madman, right?
However, what he didn't know was that in the jeep not far away...
The eldest sister, Lu Qingwan, was quietly watching this scene with her sixth sister, Lu Anran.
Lu Anran's fingers flew across the laptop screen.
"Big sister, I found it."
"The subcontractor responsible for building the resettlement site did take kickbacks and used all substandard materials."
"If my second brother hadn't discovered it, these villagers would have been in real danger of losing their lives tonight as the temperature dropped."
Lu Anran's voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
"My second brother... he could have handled it privately, but he insisted on using this 'vicious' method to expose the subcontractor's crimes in public."
"He also replaced the equipment for the villagers with the best available."
Lu Qingwan looked at the somewhat aloof figure in the sunlight, her fingertips digging deeply into her palm.
"He is paying off the Lu family's debts."
"Over the years, our relatives have done a lot of dirty work outside under the Lu family's name."
"Ah Xuan is using his own methods to gradually clean up the Lu family's reputation."
"This silly child, how much more does he have to bear?"
Lu Shixuan knew nothing about this.
He was busy directing his bodyguards to throw the villagers' old quilts into the garbage truck.
In fact, he had already instructed the housekeeper to prepare brand new cashmere comforters behind the garbage truck.
Just then, a dilapidated motorcycle suddenly rushed into the resettlement site.
A young man with a face covered in blood fell off the car and scrambled to his feet at Grandpa Zhang's feet.
"Dad! Run! Those people... those people are chasing us!"
Lu Shixuan frowned.
What's going on here?
Is this young man Grandpa Zhang's youngest son?
The one who works in the city?
Judging from the injuries, it was a blunt force trauma, and two ribs are broken.
Crisis perception... the urge to pee... damn it!
here we go again!
Lu Shixuan's eyes instantly turned extremely cold.
He looked toward the path leading to the chemical plant entrance.
Three black vans without license plates rushed in, kicking up clouds of dust and exuding a menacing aura.
The car door opened, and more than twenty burly men wielding baseball bats and watermelon knives filed out.
The leader was a bald man wearing a thick gold chain, with a face full of scars, and carrying a machete.
It was none other than "Mad Dog Qiang," the sworn brother of "Drilling Leopard" who was kicked away by Lu Shixuan yesterday.
Mad Dog spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, his eyes sweeping fiercely across the entire scene.
"Who the hell is Lu Shixuan?"
"You dare to mess with my brother, and you still dare to act wildly here?"
"If I don't break both your legs today, I'll change my name to backwards!"
The villagers at the resettlement site were trembling with fear, and Grandpa Zhang held his youngest son tightly behind him.
Chu Yaoyao subconsciously took a step forward and stood in front of Lu Shixuan.
Although she knew Lu Shixuan was a good fighter, there were so many of them, and they even had knives...
Looking at the gleaming machete, Lu Shixuan was secretly overjoyed.
Good heavens!
Here comes the one who's just feeding kills!
I was just worried that I didn't have a place to put this "bully" persona into practice!
This Mad Dog Qiang is the biggest loan shark in the south of the city, and he has a lot of blood on his hands.
If I act even crazier and more ruthless than him, these fellow villagers will definitely be scared away.
At that time, I will become a real "gangster," and the Lu family will definitely have to kick me out to avoid suspicion!
Lu Shixuan shoved Chu Yaoyao away and patted his sleeves in disgust.
"What are you trying to block me out of? Do I need a woman to protect me?"
He slowly unbuttoned his suit jacket and planted the solid gold cane into the ground.
"Hey, isn't this mad dog?"
"What, did that one-eyed dog not bark enough yesterday? Now it's your turn to bark?"
As Lu Shixuan spoke, he pulled out a stack of checkbooks that he hadn't yet spent from his pocket.
In front of everyone, he tore off a piece of paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it directly at Mad Dog Qiang's face.
"This is one million."
"Take this and buy some dog food, then get out of here!"
"If you think it's not enough, I'll give you another million to buy your bald head as a chamber pot!"
The entire room fell silent.
Mad Dog Qiang was stunned by the wad of paper that hit him.
He'd been in the underworld for so many years, he'd seen people beg for mercy, he'd seen people call the police, but he'd never seen anyone so arrogant!
Throwing money at someone's face?
They want to buy his head to use as a chamber pot?
"You're asking for it!"
Mad Dog roared and swung his knife to strike.
"Brothers! Cripple him!"
More than twenty burly men pounced on them like hungry wolves.
Lu Shixuan stood there, a cruel smile playing on his lips.
God-level fighting skills, fully activated!
System, block out my pain sense. I'm going to put on a grand show of "fighting a bloody battle"!
Just as the blade was about to fall, Lu Shixuan moved.
Instead of dodging, he charged towards the blade.
"Pfft!"
The blade tore through his suit sleeve, leaving a bloody gash on his arm.
Lu Shixuan didn't even frown. He grabbed Mad Dog Qiang's wrist with his other hand and twisted it hard.
"Snap!"
The sound of bones cracking was crisp and pleasant.
Mad Dog Qiang let out a miserable scream, and the knife slipped from his hand.
Lu Shixuan caught the machete and slapped Mad Dog Qiang hard across the face with the back of the blade.
"Smack!"
Several bloody teeth flew out.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Shixuan acted like a wolf among sheep.
He didn't use any fancy moves; it was all the most direct and violent street fighting style.
Every punch lands squarely, every kick breaks bones.
But he avoided vital points with every strike, only incapacitating his opponents.
Less than three minutes.
More than twenty strong men lay on the ground groaning in pain.
Lu Shixuan was also injured; his expensive suit was torn to shreds, and his face was smeared with blood of unknown origin.
He stood amidst a field of wounded soldiers, leaning on his machete, panting heavily.
It looked ferocious and terrifying, like a demon crawling out of hell.
He turned around and pointed the bloodied tip of his knife at the stunned villagers.
"What are you looking at?"
"This is what happens when you offend me!"
"If you dare disobey, you'll end up like them!"
"Go back to your mobile homes! Don't get in the way!"
The villagers were so frightened that they trembled all over and quickly helped Grandpa Zhang's youngest son into the house.
Only Grandpa Zhang, at the moment he turned away, burst into tears.
He could see it clearly.
That mad dog Qiang's slash was originally aimed at his youngest son.
It was Young Master Lu... who used his own arm to block it.
That seemingly fierce and menacing figure, at this moment, appeared to him as greater than any god or Buddha.
Inside the jeep not far away.
Lu Anran's fingers stopped on the keyboard.
The screen displayed Mad Dog Qiang's detailed criminal record, as well as the vast loan shark network behind him.
"My second brother... he injured himself on purpose."
Lu Anran's voice was choked with emotion.
"If they don't get hurt, and if they don't act so 'crazy,' those forces hiding in the shadows won't be afraid, and they will come looking for trouble with these fellow villagers again."
"He used his own blood to draw an absolute forbidden zone here."
Lu Qingwan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the stinging in her eyes.
"Red clothes".
"Yes." On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Lu Hongyi's voice was filled with suppressed anger.
"Take all of Mad Dog Qiang's gang away."
"Find out every single thing they did behind the scenes, and I'll make sure they... spend the rest of their lives in jail."
"Also, notify the best surgeons to come to the manor immediately and be on standby."
"If Ah Xuan is left with a scar, I'll tear this hospital down."
...
Lu Shixuan threw the machete on the ground, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and disgustedly wiped the blood off his hands.
That fucking hurts.
Even with pain shielding enabled, this wound still looks quite frightening.
That's it, his reputation as a violent maniac is now firmly established.
My older sister would definitely think I'm a barbarian who only knows how to use violence and is unfit to manage the family business.
system!
