Chapter 314: Scare Tactic

Translator: Lonelytree

A luxury car worth 36 million was a hand-me-down? This was the life of the super-rich! What kind of people were they dealing with? What were they doing in the poor mountains of Taoyuan Village?

Captain Hu had a mental gauge, so he was not that shocked. He wasn’t paralyzed from fear.

However, his face was extremely pale, and his hands kept wiping the sweat that was pouring out of his forchead. He looked at Yue Qilin and apologized uneasily, “I’m sorry. We’ve offended you unknowingly. I’m sorry.”

Yue Qilin waved his hand and said coldly, “Get out of here! Or do you want us to escort you out?”

“We’ll go now!” Captain Hu and his team immediately reacted. They got up and stumbled away.

‘At the same time, the village chief was rushing back to the village with the development notice. On the way, he ran into a group of people with many tools and a forklift.

The village chief was extremely worried, so he stepped on the oil pedal. He soon arrived at the village entrance. The villagers hadn’t dispersed.

Three cars were still blocking the village entrance. The villagers looked at the cars with fear and envy. The cars cost over six million. In total, they were worth more than thirty million. They had not seen that much money in their lives.

They saw these cars on tv before, but it was different to see them in real life.

Yue Qilin looked at the villagers’ envious, curious, and fearful eyes and smiled helplessly. He also didn’t expect the Big Boss to tell them to utilize a scare tactic to deal with the demolition team. It had worked, but the cars had scared the villagers as well.

In the past, they were casual around the cars. They would touch the cars, and the naughty children would even climb up on the cars. They were having fun. But from now on, probably no one dared to come close to these cars anymore.

Xiao Chengbang took a deep breath and looked at these cars and the other villagers. He asked Yue Qilin, “Xiao Yue, are these cars really worth millions or tens of millions?”

Ahundred pairs of eyes stared at Yue Qilin.

Yue Qilin took off his sunglasses and smiled, “Of course not. I was only exaggerating earlier. Those two cars are worth 600,000, and this car is only 1.6 million.”

But he was underselling the cars this time.

Xiao Chengbang and the others clearly did not believe him.

“Xiao Yue, are you serious?” Xiao Chengbang asked again. His eyes were filled with suspicion.

Yue Qilin spread his hands and said, “Uncle, of course, I’m serious. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mr. Gong or Miss Xiao.”

Xiao Chengbang asked in confusion, “Lingyu also knows the value of these cars?”

“Of course!” Yue Qilin nodded and said.

‘Well, Xiao Lingyu knew the true value of these cars.

‘When Gong Tianhao suggested using these cars to scare the demolition team away, Xiao Lingyu didn’t agree. She said, “I don’t want you to scare off the villagers too.”

After all, the villagers wouldn’t believe a car would cost several tens of millions. It was astronomical.

Gong Tianhao smiled and shook his head. He gently stroked her head and said, “Silly, after the demo team left, we’ll just tell the villagers that it was all a lie.”

Xiao Lingyu thought about it and agreed in the end.

Xiao Chengbang sighed in relief when he heard Yue Qilin say the car was only worth several million. Even though they were still expensive, it was within the acceptable range. After all, they knew the Gong Family was very rich. They spent four hundred thousand to build the road without blinking an eye.

The village chief got down from his motorcycle and asked with puzzlement, “What’s going on? Why are all of you gathered here with weapons in your hands?”

Seeing the village chief, someone immediately asked, “Village chief, where did you go? Just now, someone drove a forklift over and said that they were going to demolish the village.”

“Demolish the village?” The village chief was stunned at first, but then he scolded angrily, “This is too much! This is really too much!”

Xiao Chengbang immediately understood that there was something wrong. He asked, “Village chief, what’s going on?”

The village chief said, “I’ve received a notice from the higher-ups saying that a big company has taken a liking to Taoyuan Village and wants to develop it into a tourist destination.”

“Huh? That person from before seems to have said something similar. They want to demolish the village to make way for development.”

Another villager asked, “But why would they demolish our houses for development? And where would we go after our houses got taken down?”

The villagers had not received any news. Therefore, this came as a shock to all of them.

‘They were just ordinary farmers. If the big companies really wanted to demolish their houses, what would they do? How could they resist?

The village chief said, “I went to the town to get the notice. Then, I heard that the company has already sent over a demo team, so I hurried back.”

“Village chief, what notice did you receive?” The villagers immediately asked.

The village chief took out the notice that he had brought back from the town and said, “This is the notice. Taoyuan Village is going to be developed into a tourist spot. All the villagers have to move away…”

“Move away? To where? Why would we need to move for them to develop a tourist spot? Why should we suffer?” A villager demanded angrily.

“That’s right. Do they think they can do anything because they’re rich?”

‘The village chief added, “Actually, they didn’t ask us to move unconditionally. They have given us a certain amount of compensation.”

“Ah, there’s compensation?” When someone heard this, he was first stunned, then he said angrily, “Even if there’s compensation, it won’t do. We’ve lived here for decades. Do they think they can just trundle in and destroy our lives?”

However, someone asked, “Village chief, how much is the compensation?”

‘The village chief answered in an unusually angry tone, “The compensation is nothing. Each villager will only get 5000!”

“5000 RMB?”

That was not all.

Some villagers thought it was too low. They had lived at Taoyuan Village for decades. They wouldn’t move for 5000 RMB.

Of course, some villagers’ eyes lit up when they heard 5000 RMB. That was quite a lot of money. These villagers had a large family. They would be compensated with tens of thousands. With that money, they could build a new house.

In short, everyone had different thoughts about the 5,000 RMB worth of compensation.

The village chief said angrily, “They would have us sign the notice on the spot. Then they would give us the compensation. After that, they would demolish the village.”

Some people felt it was a pity to give up the 5000 RMB. They said, “5000 is not a small amount. I would be willing to let them demolish my house. After all, the house is old. With the money, my family can build a new house.”

He was dissatisfied that the bodyguards had chased away the demolition team.

‘The village chief immediately shouted angrily at him, “You must be crazy! Fine, let’s say you get the money. Where are you going to build your new house in such a short amount of time? They won’t let you build in Taoyuan Village anymore.

“Plus, once you’ve signed the contract, you would have surrendered your land to the big company too. It’s a forced lease… So without your house, your land, and your livelihood, how do you think you’d survive in the future?”
