Chapter 167: The Audacious Ma Xiangnan

“Director, bad news, that guy named Ma is here again.”

As Lin Youguo was showing Xu Shaochen around, a worker suddenly rushed over in a panic.

“What did you say!”

Lin Youguo’s face immediately turned dark upon hearing this.

“Director Lin, what’s going on this time?”

Xu Shaochen and Mei Liangxin exchanged a glance, then looked at Lin Youguo and asked.

With a gloomy expression, Lin Youguo replied, “Chairman Xu, to tell the truth, this Ma Xiangnan is a real estate developer who wants to buy out Dafeng Factory.”

“Oh? Let’s go meet him.”

Xu Shaochen chuckled lightly, then turned and walked toward the Dafeng Factory’s main gate.

Lin Youguo, having no choice, quickly grabbed a few factory leaders and followed.

“Director Lin, you used to swear you’d never sell Dafeng Factory. What’s with the change of heart?”

Just as they reached the entrance, a middle-aged man in a black suit looked at Lin Youguo and said.

“Hmph! Even if I were to sell, I would never sell to you. What are you doing here?”

Lin Youguo snorted coldly, glaring at Ma Xiangnan angrily.

“Haha, Director Lin, don’t get so worked up. At your age, you’d better be careful not to get too angry.” Ma Xiangnan smirked and looked Xu Shaochen up and down, “And who is this young man? In business, one must play by the rules. Isn’t cutting in halfway a bit inappropriate?”

“Who’s cutting in? Dafeng Factory never intended to sell to you in the first place!” Xu Shaochen responded calmly.

“Hmph!” Ma Xiangnan snorted coldly at Xu Shaochen, “Whether or not it’s sold to me isn’t up to you, kid. If you know what’s good for you, take your people and get lost. You think you can interfere in something I’m interested in? You must be tired of living.”

He had risen from being a small thug to his current status through violent evictions, so naturally, he lacked any cultured manners, relying instead on his ruthlessness.

“The one who needs to leave is you. As of today, Dafeng Factory belongs to the Xu family. If your people dare to set foot here, I’ll break their legs.”

Xu Shaochen looked at Ma Xiangnan with a calm expression, but his words were ice-cold.

“Hahahaha…”

Hearing this, Ma Xiangnan burst out laughing and sneered at Xu Shaochen, “Kid, you threatening me? Don’t you know people who threaten me never have a good ending!”

Ma Xiangnan was involved in the underworld, so Xu Shaochen threatening him was nothing short of a joke in his eyes.

“Leave!” Xu Shaochen spat out coldly.

Ma Xiangnan hadn’t expected Xu Shaochen to be so determined to oppose him. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Fine, fine, fine! Let’s see whether Dafeng Factory ends up yours or mine.”

With that, Ma Xiangnan turned and walked away.

Upon seeing this, Lin Youguo and the others were left stunned.

Wasn’t this just all talk and no action?

He came in full force, yet left after just a few harsh words?

Even Lin Yu was extremely disappointed. It seemed Dafeng Factory was really going to be sold for a pittance.

“Chairman Xu, let’s go discuss the contract details.”

Lin Youguo, snapping out of his daze, looked at Xu Shaochen and said.

Xu Shaochen nodded, but he had a nagging feeling that Ma Xiangnan wouldn’t give up so easily.

After all, Ma Xiangnan had invested so much time in this property—how could he just hand it over?

Xu Shaochen’s intuition was right; Ma Xiangnan indeed wouldn’t back down without a fight.

“Start dismantling! Don’t worry about anyone who tries to stop you. During a demolition, it’s normal for one or two people to die.”

In his car, Ma Xiangnan pulled out his Phone and spoke each word with a sinister expression.

“Head back to the Company.”

After hanging up the Phone, Ma Xiangnan told the driver.

“Hmph! After all the effort I’ve put in, expecting me to give up now is nothing but a fool’s dream.”

Ma Xiangnan spoke with a chilling tone. It was all because of Lin Youguo, that ungrateful man, forcing Ma’s hand.

……….

Back at Dafeng Factory.

Xu Shaochen and Lin Youguo had already drafted the initial details of the contract. All that was left was to sign it later.

“Alright, everyone, please welcome Chairman Xu. From now on, Chairman Xu will be your new boss.”

Lin Youguo addressed the crowd of workers gathered below.

“Clap clap clap…”

Everyone responded with applause.

“Boom!”

At that moment, a sudden loud noise echoed, startling everyone.

“No good! Director, something’s wrong! Someone’s using an excavator to demolish the place!”

A worker, covered in sweat, ran over and shouted anxiously at Lin Youguo.

“Boom!”

The entire crowd instantly erupted into chaos.

“It must be that bastard, Ma Xiangnan.” Lin Youguo gritted his teeth, furious at Ma Xiangnan’s audacity.

Xu Shaochen’s face also turned frighteningly dark, “Let’s go check it out.”

“Rumble…”

As they reached the factory gate, they saw a bulldozer demolishing the walls. The wall had already been smashed open, leaving a gaping hole.

Several factory workers had grabbed shovels and other tools as weapons, but none dared to approach.

“Stop! Stop right now!”

Lin Youguo couldn’t care anymore and ran directly in front of the bulldozer.

“Heh, old man, this is all because of your lack of respect. Today, even if the King of Heaven himself showed up, he couldn’t stop us.”

The bulldozer halted, and a young man wearing sunglasses sneered.

“Hmph!”

Xu Shaochen snorted coldly, then dashed forward, leaping a few times before climbing onto the bulldozer.

“What the…!”

Seeing this, Mei Liangxin couldn’t help blurting out a curse. Forgive his lack of vocabulary—he could only express his shock with that word.

“Y-you, how did you get up here?”

The young man with sunglasses was startled upon seeing Xu Shaochen.

“Bang!”

Without a word, Xu Shaochen lifted his leg and kicked hard.

“Ah! Pfft—”

With a miserable cry, the young man was thrown off the bulldozer and slammed heavily onto the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

“Beat him up!”

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, and the next moment, the angry workers charged forward.

“Ah! No, stop! Please, no more! I give up, I give up!”

Huddled on the ground, the young man curled up and screamed, receiving a severe beating from the crowd.

Xu Shaochen climbed down from the bulldozer, his face dark enough to drip water.

Ma Xiangnan, oh, Ma Xiangnan, daring to act so recklessly—you better be prepared to be buried.

“Chairman Xu, thank goodness you were here today. Otherwise, who knows what could have happened.”

Lin Youguo looked at Xu Shaochen in gratitude, knowing full well that these ruthless guys were really capable of deadly forced demolitions.

“Director Lin, someone will come by to sign the contract soon. I have something else to handle, so I’ll take my leave.”

Xu Shaochen looked at Lin Youguo and said calmly. He needed to go have a ‘talk’ with Ma Xiangnan.
