Chapter 423: Demolition!

Late at night, Ring Mountain Road was so quiet only the wind's sound remained…

Trees on both sides were shadowy and vague in the night.

The outer wall of the Bai family's private villa showed a gray hue under the streetlights.

Around the villa, patrol personnel in black security uniforms walked back and forth.

The patrol guards held electric batons, eyes wary as they scanned the surroundings.

Just then, the bulldozer's roar shattered the silence!

A bulldozer rumbled over from afar…… and slowly stopped in front of the villa's ornate iron gate!

The guard at the villa gate's expression froze?!

A group of guards rushed forward, and a tall security guard reached out to block him.

Lin Yuan sat in the cab, his voice coming through the glass.

He affected a hint of weariness and said lightly, "Our own people—I was sent by Young Master Bai to demolish the Goddess Bar."

"The mission is complete—I've leveled the Goddess Bar. I've come to report to Young Master Bai." Lin Yuan said, also producing his work ID.

This work ID was taken from the bodies of four drivers.

It was an employee ID of the White Gold Han Group.

The guard glanced at the employee ID, his eyes doubtful.

The tall guard furrowed his brow, doubtful: "Report now? It's so late—the young master already slept; if there's anything, come tomorrow."

He said this while raising his hand to signal Lin Yuan to turn around.

Another guard quietly reached for his walkie-talkie at his waist, intending to call the patrol team over.

This bulldozer appearing at the villa gate at midnight felt off.

Lin Yuan saw this, his eyes turning cold in an instant!

The next second, Lin Yuan swiftly raised his right hand, and dozens of silver needles appeared at his fingertips.

Lin Yuan snapped his wrist, and the silver needles shot out like a torrential rain!

"Pfft-pfft……!" The silver needles precisely pierced the upper-arm acupressure points of the two guards at the gate.

The two guards were about to shout when their bodies suddenly stiffened~!

Their arms hung midair, their whole bodies frozen in place as if paused……

They couldn't even utter a word.

Not far away, three patrolling guards heard the commotion, turned, and saw this scene?!

One of them immediately pulled out his phone, intending to call inside the villa to tip them off.

Lin Yuan wouldn't give him the chance—another volley of silver needles shot out!

They precisely struck the guard's wrist and knee acupressure points.

That guard's phone snapped and fell to the ground!

The guard's body went limp, half-kneeling on the ground, unable to move.

The remaining two patrol guards, frightened, tried to run……

But they had just taken a step……

Lin Yuan's silver needles had already pierced their calf acupressure points.

They staggered and fell to the ground, only able to watch Lin Yuan helplessly.

In just a few seconds, all five guards at the villa gate were subdued by Lin Yuan's silver needles……

A group of guards stood frozen in place, their eyes full of terror.

Lin Yuan snorted coldly, pushed open the car door, and slowly approached the villa interior.

He used the shrubs around the villa for cover, making his way to the manor's side……

In the darkness, over a dozen patrol guards were moving in shifts.

The guards' flashlight beams swept back and forth in the dark.

Lin Yuan hid behind a tree, fixed on the nearest guard's back, his fingertips flashing with silver needles.

The silver needles hissed out!

They precisely pierced the guard's rear-neck acupressure point.

That guard's body stiffened, and his flashlight snapped to the ground.

The guard stood rigid, his breathing shallow yet he could make no sound.

Lin Yuan then moved on, aiming at the second guard.

Before he could notice anything amiss, the silver needles had already struck his side waist acupressure point……

The guard instantly froze, his arms still holding the baton pose.

One after another, Lin Yuan moved like a ghost through the manor's perimeter.

When he encountered paired patrolling guards, he simultaneously shot two silver needles, precisely hitting their acupressure points.

Within ten minutes, over a dozen guards around the villa were completely immobilized by the silver needles……

A group of guards stood frozen at their posts, eyes full of fear and helplessness.

Lin Yuan glanced at the fallen, rigid guards, a cold smile curling his lips.

He turned and walked back to the bulldozer, opened the door, and climbed in.

He gripped the controls with both hands and shoved forward hard.

The bulldozer's engine bellowed earth‑shakingly, its tracks turning as it surged toward the villa manor's outer wall.

"Boom——!"

With a tremendous crash, the wall was breached by the tracks, bricks and concrete scattering everywhere!

Smoke and dust filled the air!

Lin Yuan didn't stop, continued controlling the bulldozer forward, rushing toward the ornate iron gate inside the manor.

"Crack!"

The iron gate was pressed against by the bulldozer's bucket, instantly deforming……

The bulldozer rolled all the way, passed through the courtyard gate, and drove into the villa manor's courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, valuable potted plants were knocked over by the bucket, shards of pottery and soil mixed together.

Lin Yuan drove the bulldozer, slowly heading toward the villa's main building; the engine sound in the silent midnight was like a death drum……

The villa's main building is a three-story European-style structure, its exterior walls covered with off-white tiles, but now, in front of the bulldozer, it seemed as flimsy as paper.

"Crack!"

The bulldozer's bucket struck the floor-to-ceiling window of the first-floor living room; the glass instantly shattered, shards scattering across the living room.

The wall was cracked by the bucket, concrete chunks kept falling; the sofa and coffee table in the living room were smashed to pieces.

The commotion outside grew louder and louder……

The engine's roar, the wall collapsing sound, and the glass shattering sound intertwined, shaking the ground so it trembled.

However, in the master bedroom on the second floor of the villa, Baihejie was still sound asleep.

He was bare-chested, his chest reeking of alcohol, one arm tightly wrapped around the female model lover beside him.

The female model wore a silk nightgown, her head resting on his shoulder, breathing lightly.

Baihejie's mouth still held a hint of a smile, as if he were having a sweet dream, his brow occasionally furrowed, yet he didn't wake.

He had drunk an entire bottle of whiskey tonight, so drunk he was a mess, even turning over reeked of strong alcohol.

The vibration from the bulldozer smashing the wall outside, when transmitted to the second floor, only made the mattress tremble slightly.

The female model murmured dazedly, snuggled deeper into Baihejie's embrace, and fell asleep again.

Baihejie showed no reaction at all.

He even smacked his lips, muttered a vague dream talk, and continued to sleep deeply.

Lin Yuan controlled the bulldozer, the bucket lifted again, and slammed toward the second-floor balcony.

"Clang……&!"

The balcony railing was snapped, rebar twisted, concrete panels plummeted downward.

The second-floor wall developed a huge crack, dust poured out from the crack…… drifting into the master bedroom.

Yet Baihejie still didn't wake.

His head lolled on the pillow, saliva almost dripping onto the pillowcase.

The bulldozer continued to advance……

The load-bearing wall of the first floor was gradually crushed, the entire villa began to tilt slightly.

Lin Yuan didn't stop, operating the bulldozer, he made a circle around the villa.

He rolled over the garage, terrace, and auxiliary buildings completely.

Every spot was smashed to pieces by the bucket, everywhere were broken walls and ruins.

In the night, the once magnificent private villa gradually turned into a ruin.

Meanwhile, in the master bedroom, Baihejie still clung to the female model, sleeping soundly.

Baihejie knew nothing of the apocalyptic disaster outside.

Lin Yuan maneuvered the bulldozer toward the villa's fourth floor, the mechanical arm lifted high, the bucket slammed into the fourth-floor wall with a whooshing sound.

"Boom——!!"

The off-white tile wall instantly shattered……

Exposed rebar, the entire floor slab collapsed under the treads' pressure, bricks and stones fell like a waterfall.

In less than ten minutes, the fourth floor was completely leveled, leaving only scattered beams and broken bricks across the ground.

He then turned the bulldozer toward the third floor.

The third floor's floor-to-ceiling windows and load-bearing walls shattered one after another, the floor slab collapsed, piling together with the fourth-floor debris.

Soon the villa had only the second-floor area left……

Soon, the second-floor walls were also leveled……

The entire master bedroom was left with only a large bed and the floor beneath it, isolated and hanging on the second-floor break.

Lin Yuan sat in the cab, confirming the bed's position……

Then he suddenly aimed the mechanical arm at the bed surface, the bucket slammed down hard.

"Crack——!"

The solid wood bed frame instantly broke@!.

Baihejie and the female model had no time to react, both fell off the bed and slammed heavily onto the floor.

"Ah——!"

The female model was startled awake; she opened her eyes, and in an instant she was terrified, screaming on the spot!

Baihejie felt dazed from the fall, his drunkenness mostly wore off.

He rubbed the back of his head and sat up, about to curse……

As a result, Baihejie saw a huge bulldozer bucket hanging above his head! @

The bucket still had wall dust and wood chips stuck to it.

Only then did Baihejie realize…… the walls of his bedroom were completely gone？！

Around him was a wasteland, the midnight cold wind blowing straight onto him.

"What…… what's going on?"

Baihejie widened his eyes, unable to believe the sight before him.

He instinctively turned over to crawl away, but fell to the ground again.

Lin Yuan sat in the cab, coldly watching him through the window… he moved the mechanical arm slightly downward, the bucket now only half a meter above Baihejie's head, its shadow covering him entirely.

The female model looked up at this scene, frightened into crying out…

The female model scrambled and crawled toward the edge of the ruins to hide.

Baihejie stared at the bucket overhead, feeling the vibrations coming from the ground,

Baihejie's body trembled with fright, instantly dispelling the last trace of alcohol.

He sprang up from the ground, his chest heaving, utterly consumed by rage and frenzy!

"Damn it! Who the hell dares to mess with my villa!!"

Baihejie waved his fists and roared, his eyes locked on the cab…

Baihejie finally made out the person sitting in the cab!

At that moment, Baihejie's pupils contracted sharply, and his fury instantly overwhelmed his reason.

"Lin Yuan! It's you! You're asking for death!!"

Baihejie lunged at the bulldozer like a madman, reaching to grab the cab door!

He kept cursing: "You dare come demolish my villa!! I'll tear you to pieces!!"

Lin Yuan sat in the operator's seat, his expression unchanging, his fingers jerked the controls.

The excavator's claw suddenly lifted, then slammed down hard onto the ground beside Baihejie's feet!

"Boom—!!"

The ground shook violently, shattered concrete fragments flew, Baihejie slipped underfoot and instantly lost his balance.

Before he could steady himself, the excavator's claw swept sideways swiftly, with strong wind, slamming directly into his shoulder.

"Ah%!!"

Baihejie let out a miserable scream…

His whole body, like a broken‑string kite, was blasted away and slammed heavily into the pile of broken bricks behind him.

Baihejie spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the skin on his chest red.

Baihejie curled up, unable to crawl for a long time, only able to glare at Lin Yuan with venomous eyes.

The female model beside him, seeing this, was so frightened she swallowed her sobs, clapped a hand over her mouth, fearing Lin Yuan would notice her.

Lin Yuan maneuvered the excavator's claw, slowly moving it toward Baihejie.

The tip of the claw was only a few centimeters from Baihejie's forehead; the cold metal touch made him tremble all over.

"Baihejie, you say—are your bones harder, or is my bulldozer harder?"

Lin Yuan's voice came through the cab.

His voice was as cold as a midnight wind, raising in Baihejie's heart a fear he had never felt before.
