Chapter 546: Something's Up

tle rascals."I'll go back after dinner." Shutinglan answered with a smile."Mom and Uncle Yi have something to do tonight and won't be coming home. How about Aunt [Yi's wife's name] goes back to stay w...Mr. Wang is indeed a little afraid now, because Gu Ruandong had strictly forbidden any violent demolition when he was working on this project. Mr. Wang doesn't really care about the matter of causing someone's death itself; the other party just wants to be greedy, and he's willing to pay compensation, it's not a big deal. What Mr. Wang cares about is Gu Ruandong's attitude; being implicated by him, feeling both ashamed and afraid.

After Gu Ruandong stepped out of the elevator, he didn't even glance at Mr. Wang, but walked straight to his office. After sitting down, he gave Mr. Wang a cold look and spoke in a calm tone.

"What's going on"

The more tranquil it appears, the greater the turmoil concealed beneath the surface, waiting to erupt.

Wang Zong's heart skipped a beat. To be honest, he wasn't Gu Ruan Dong's employee, so why should he be afraid of Gu Ruan Dong Besides, on this project, he was the real lead person. It was him who should be angry about the demolition issues they were facing now.

But in front of Gu Ruandong, he couldn't raise his head at the moment, so he could only evade the important points and say: "It's just a group of commoners who want to extort more money from this incident. I've already asked Lawyer Shu to talk to them. They will be compensated as they should."

Gu Ruandong's face was cold, and his voice finally had anger. He questioned harshly: "After talking for two days, this is the result you give me"

Xiao Cai and Mr. Wang's hearts skipped a beat, both falling silent. At the very beginning of the incident, they had assured everyone it was a minor issue that could be resolved immediately, and there was no need for Gu Ruandong to return from Beijing. However, now things have escalated into a city-wide scandal, forcing him to come back and clean up the mess personally. They are incompetent and can only accept his scolding.

The issue now is that the family placed the body at the construction site, setting up a makeshift funeral parlor right there. This has garnered significant public attention, and Mr. Wang dare not use forceful methods to evict them anymore.

They were forced to leave, and the police who came to respond could only try to persuade them, not use force.

The Chen family has backstage support, and the bigger the incident becomes, the closer they get to their goal.

Gu Ruandong said without thinking, "If they want to make a big fuss, then let's have a bigger fuss."

Then, he instructed Xiao Cai to contact the largest funeral service company in Senzhou and have them arrange the mourning hall at the construction site with the highest level of service. He ordered 24-hour mournful music to be played, and for professional mourners to be hired on a 24-hour three-shift rotation, ensuring they never stopped crying.

"See him off properly."

But when Xiaocai had arranged everything, the Chen family on the construction site saw a large crowd of people coming to mourn and were utterly bewildered.

The spirit house was filled with wreaths, like heaven.

The funeral service staff were also especially polite and considerate to their families.

Every person who passed by them, clasped their hands and said, "My condolences."

The music of mourning played with an unbearable poignancy, and the mourners' cries were heart-wrenching.

The Chen family now consisted of three people, dumbfounded by the scene before them, wondering if these people had gotten the wrong place.

But the wreath on the spirit tablet clearly read the name of their deceased old man.

Not to mention the Chen family, even the outside media were dumbfounded, thinking that the Chen family had hired people for a roadshow to boost their morale.

But the funeral service was truly excellent, treating the Chen family like honored guests. They were very attentive and helpful in taking care of everything.

The Chen family wanted to drive them away, but they had nowhere to throw a tantrum.

This move is too ruthless. Both the Chen family and the media have nothing to say. Even though everyone knows it was arranged by Mr. Wang or the Gu family, they not only didn't ask you to leave, but also helped you with the funeral arrangements wholeheartedly.

Even if the matter is reported by media and spreads to the outside world, one cannot say a bad word about it.

The mournful cries and wails from the construction site, going on for a full day and night, have become incredibly disruptive to the neighborhood. There are already many residential complexes nearby, and the residents can't stand it anymore. They've been lodging complaints of all kinds, especially the elderly men and women who were already mentally fragile. Wave after wave of them come to berate and drive them away.

But the funeral service company was incredibly dedicated, still diligently playing music where it should be played and mourning where it should be mourned, going back and forth, never slacking off.

The combat power of the elderly men and women is quite strong, especially those aunts who dance in the square and are severely disturbed, they directly called a cremation vehicle to take the body away.

The three members of the Chen family were now completely invisible. They didn't even dare to speak up when the cremation truck took their bodies away. They could only meekly follow the vehicle to sign papers, pick up the ashes, and then their heads were still in a daze, not knowing how they ended up like this.

From beginning to end, Gu Ruandong didn't appear at all, and he didn't even inquire about it again. This matter was both shady and completely legal.

Don't try to reason with common folk, and don't resort to force. There are more cunning ways to deal with them.

Over the weekend, in Senzhou, he focused his efforts on dealing with the mastermind behind it all. As it turned out, it was a real estate colleague named Run De who orchestrated the whole thing. He coveted the land of the village and since he couldn't get it himself, he stirred up this trouble to make things difficult for Gu Ruandong.

Wang Zong gritted his teeth and cursed: "Tan Rund, that bastard, during the last bidding for this land, he kept raising the price for me. If I don't find someone to kill him, I won't be called Wang."

Gu Ruandong gave him a cold look: "Stop talking about killing this and that all day. Who do you think you can kill"

in their eyes

Your uncouth disdain is evident.

Mr. Wang didn't handle things well this time, so he wisely shut up and kept quiet.

Gu Ruandong said, "Please invite Tan Rundé to dinner with me next weekend."

Gu Ruandong is not a good person. He wants to transform himself, but that doesn't mean he will let others bully him. You show me respect, and I'll show you respect. But if you offend me, I'll return double.

Tan Rundong's actions in the village are just a spark. The real goal is to use the relocation of the village to bring Gu Ruandong into the media and public eye, exposing him and subjecting him to public scrutiny and judgment.

Tan Rundong could seize the opportunity, knowing that now is the best chance to bring down Gu Ruandong. Because Gu's Group has been divesting its assets in recent months, there have already been doubts from the outside world. Exposing him now will inevitably lead to a thorough investigation.

If the Gu Group were to encounter problems, they would be unable to attend to the development of the village commercial complex. Then, he would have the ability to seize the project from Mr. Wang.

Tan Rundé's abacus was clicking merrily, and Gu Ruandong knew it all too well, which is why he agreed to meet with Tan Rundé.

Mr. Wang immediately agreed: "Sure, I'll arrange it right away. We can meet on Monday."

Gu Ruandong: "Schedule it for the weekend, I'm too busy during the week."

He's going back to the capital city tonight and will be back this weekend. I wonder if that delicate little thing's wound has gotten any better I've been so busy these past two days that I haven't had much time to contact her.

"That's Gu Shao, is there anything important in the capital that you can't get away from" Wang Zong asked cautiously, because he didn't quite understand. At this moment, Senzhou was in a desperate situation, how could he go to the capital He asked Xiao Cai, there wasn't any project in the capital...

Sit.

"Something's up." Gu Ruandong looked at the time, and seeing it was almost time, got up and picked up his clothes and left, leaving Wang, looking utterly bewildered.ring various project competitions, Tinglan was even more nervous than in the morning. Just thinking about the feeling of breathlessness and chest tightness she would experience during the running race...
