Chapter 692: Chapter 719 She Is Not Afraid (Two-in-One)
Money can make the devil turn a millstone. If it canât, itâs because you havenât offered enough!
When the moneyâs enough, there will naturally be people willing to take risks!
Right now, Ma San is just such a person, and heâs ready. If something goes wrong or if Elder Xiang has someone backing him up, he can make a getaway at any moment.
One hundred and twenty thousand, thatâs enough for him to find a new place and live well, unlike now, just a small-time thug.
The key is, his actions are greatly restricted by Shi Bao.
"Damn it, at worst Iâll just run away!" he thought to himself, "This life doesnât suit me, itâs frustrating!"
Heâs inherently a fearless thug, with a particularly bold disposition, and when it comes to fighting, heâs completely fearless.
This is also why he became a small gang leader at such a young age.
Similarly, itâs also why the developer found him to handle this demolition, not just because heâs extremely familiar with this area.
Immediately, four of his laid-back subordinates stepped forward, with two of them chuckling and saying,
"Leave that girl to us, you guys deal with the old man!"
The other two shrugged, showing no objections.
They knew that this little girl had grown up with the boss, and they even played well together as kids. But ever since the boss took the thugâs path, their relationship had become strained.
Even now, theyâre on completely opposite sides!
However, even so, they still didnât dare to mess with the girl in front of the boss.
After all, if Ma San found them displeasing, theyâd be done for.
Moreover, these two had gone through it last time, the time when Lin Xi had tormented them.
Now, as long as they try to touch the girl, they couldnât help but feel a chilling apprehension.
The two who were about to make a move were newcomers who joined just a few days ago.
Not only were these two good fighters, but they also excelled at flattering and were currently Ma Sanâs favorites.
So, they didnât warn the two, and instead chuckled inwardly, waiting to watch the show.
Seeing the four approaching, Elder Xiang resolutely stretched out his arms, preparing to block them, and said to his granddaughter,
"Xiaojuan, hurry up and leave, donât stay here!"
"Itâs enough to have grandpa here. Letâs see if they have the courage to do anything to me!"
Xiang Juan shook her head, "Grandpa, Iâm not leaving!"
"This is my home, Iâm not going anywhere, I want to be with grandpa!"
Even though sheâs timid, if she leaves, what if this group does something to her grandpa?
In this world, sheâs grown up with her grandpa, relying on each other for so many years. If she lost him, she canât even imagine if she could bear it!
"You hurry up and go, listen to grandpa, they wonât dare to do anything to me!"
"By the way, whereâs Xiaolin, wasnât he with you at home?"
But before Xiang Juan could reply, Ma Sanâs four subordinates had already surrounded the grandfather and granddaughter.
One of them said, "You two better behave and get out of the way, or else donât blame us for making a move!"
Elder Xiang glanced at his granddaughter behind him, sighed helplessly, and became somewhat indecisive.
It seemed that this group was serious now, and if they attempted to resist, they were bound to get hurt!
If it were just him, he wouldnât be afraid, but his granddaughter was here too.
"Sigh!" He let out a heavy sigh, "Xiaojuan, letâs go to the shop!"
Xiang Juan was momentarily taken aback by her grandpaâs words, but before she could ask, her grandpa had already taken her away!
And Ma Sanâs four subordinates didnât dare to stop them!
The two lackeys who had been eyeing their chance looked disappointed, but as they watched Xiang Juanâs departing figure, a strong desire flashed in their eyes.
The two exchanged glances and nodded quietly, planning to sneak up on Xiang Juan at night.
Even if her grandfather found out at night, so what? Heâs just an old man, and either one of them could handle him single-handedly.
Ma San, standing beside the excavator, seeing Elder Xiang and Xiang Juan step aside, breathed a small sigh of relief.
This was ideal.
If trouble really erupted, he would most likely have to run away!
The next moment, he shouted, "Dig!"
The excavator, which had been stopped for a while, roared back to life and started digging again.
This time, the digging was fiercer!
Previously, they had only been digging the road next to the house, without touching the Xiang familyâs homeâs foundation, but now they occasionally knocked the foundation stones into the pit.
If things continued like this, the rooms or walls of the Xiang family facing the road could collapse at any moment.
Obviously, Ma San was pushing his luck because he thought Elder Xiang had conceded.
"An old geezer like him, still so tactless; isnât he now obediently stepping aside?" Ma San smiled smugly, and continued,
"If youâd agreed earlier, you couldâve gotten compensation for one hundred seventy square meters!"
"Now, you can only get compensation for ninety square meters!"
Xiang Juan, feeling wronged, shouted angrily, "Ma San, didnât you just say one hundred thirty square meters, why is it now only ninety?"
Ma San chuckled, "Itâs because youâre so stubborn!"
"Youâre shameless and despicable! I canât believe I used to help you when you had nothing to eat, and this is how you repay me, you ungrateful wolf!" Xiang Juan said, deeply hurt.
Elder Xiang patted his granddaughterâs shoulder to indicate that she shouldnât be upset by people like this. He looked at Ma San with a dark expression, "Boy, youâll get your comeuppance!"
"And let me tell you, I wonât let this matter rest!"
"Even if Iâm forced to move, Iâll report you layer by layerâwhether itâs to the provincial level or Beijing itself. Iâll risk my life, but I wonât let you have it easy!"
Hearing these words, Ma Sanâs face changed, and he snorted coldly, "Old man, do you have a death wish!"
Since he took the job from the developer, itâs up to him to handle these matters. If things get out of hand, itâll surely be his responsibility.
One has to know that the developer is not a kind person.
The next moment, he stared at Elder Xiang, "Do you know that by acting like this, youâre inviting disaster?"
"Also, you should consider your granddaughter. Sheâs so beautiful â wonât she suffer more because of this?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Xiangâs face turned extremely grim.
Xiang Juan, as long as she stood by her grandpa, feared nothing. Even when Ma San used her as a threat, she comforted her grandpa, saying, "Grandpa, Iâm not afraid!"
Upon hearing this, Ma San and his group burst out laughing.
What a joke!
Claiming not to be afraidâletâs see how fearless you are when youâre sold off.
Just as they were about to issue another threat, a voice suddenly came from inside the Xiang house, "She really doesnât need to be afraid!"
"Who?" Ma San looked bewildered and glanced at his informant, who also shook his head, indicating he didnât know.
Ma San got furious instantly, "Didnât I tell you to keep watch?"
That person broke out in a cold sweat, as he had just gone out to buy a pack of cigarettes because of a craving.
And as he returned, he happened to see Elder Xiang leaving in a hurry.
Elder Xiangâs face showed concern; he recognized Lin Xiâs voice but didnât know much about Lin Xiâs background other than being a student and a Divine Doctor.
Xiang Juan suddenly seemed to think of something, a glimmer of hope appearing on her face.
At this time, Ma San glared fiercely at his informant before shouting into the house, "Hiding inside like a sneaky creep, if youâve got the guts, come out."
"Besides, I want to see why she shouldnât be afraid!"
