Chapter 874: Construction Site Clash

Five days was enough to turn a person from arrogant to crazy. When Huang Jintang received the notice of disqualification, he was lying in his mistress's house taking a nap.

"Manager Huang, Mortal Group has issued an announcement saying our contracting qualifications have been revoked. Cloud Peak Mountain Villa is re-tendering, and the new construction crew will move in tomorrow……"

"What did you say?!"

Huang Jintang sprang to a sitting position instantly, his reaction no more than being jolted awake from a nightmare.

A muffled explanation came from the phone: "The client held a press conference, claiming our performance capability and integrity have serious problems, and has now unilaterally terminated the contract."

"Damn!"

The phone in his hand became Huang Jintang's outlet for anger. He flung it forward violently; the phone smashed against the wall with a crack— even an Apple couldn't withstand such a beating.

His mistress jumped in fright, sitting up wrapped in the blanket: "What's going on?"

"Get lost!"

Huang Jintang flung off the blanket and got out of bed.

Barefoot, he paced back and forth in front of the bed, frantic; his whole body was like a rampaging wild boar, shaking with layers of white fat, his mind filled only with thoughts of how to kill Ye Jiaying.

"You Ye-surname bastard, you're trying to kill me!"

"Good!"

"Since you're unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."

In that moment, Huang Jintang had already conceived a mutually destructive revenge plan; on the spot he used his mistress's phone to call his subordinates: "Round up your brothers and meet me at the construction site!"

That afternoon

Several engineering vehicles lined up in a convoy, slowly driving toward the construction site of Cloud Peak Mountain Villa, their bodies adorned with conspicuous banners— Vibrant China Construction.

Vibrant China Construction is an engineering company owned by Ye Jiaying's younger brother, Ye Jiaxuan. Though it has only been established for four or five years in Jianglan Province, its reputation has always been good.

Ye Jiaxuan jumped down from the lead vehicle.

Around thirty-five years old, short at 1.6 meters, wearing a pair of refined glasses, he looked like a frail scholar, somewhat resembling his sister Ye Jiaying.

He wore a dark blue work jacket, held a safety helmet, and strode toward the construction site gate.

Behind him followed a dozen or so employees, the core staff of Vibrant China Construction.

"Boss Ye." The project manager trotted over, his face grim: "Manager Huang is leading a large crowd blocking the site entrance, not letting us in."

"Let's go have a look."

Ye Jiaxuan quickened his pace.

At the construction site entrance, over thirty people stood in a dense black mass, all wearing black T-shirts, holding iron shovels, steel pipes, and pick handles, each with furrowed brows and glaring eyes.

The leader was Huang Jintang.

Today Huang Jintang came prepared, shirtless with a floral shirt over his shoulders, a cigarette dangling from his lips, no longer bothering to hide the air of a street thug.

Behind Huang Jintang were parked several bulldozers and excavators, all his own equipment.

"Manager Huang, early in the morning, are you guys doing team-building?"

Ye Jiaxuan walked over with a smile, glanced at them, and broke the tense atmosphere with a lighthearted tease.

Huang Jintang exhaled a puff of smoke, wearing a false smile: "You Ye-surname, cut the crap! This construction site is mine, Huang Jintang's; without my permission, no one is getting in!"

Ye Jiaxuan straightened his expression: "Manager Huang, your contracting qualifications have been revoked. Effective today, Cloud Peak Mountain Villa will be taken over by our Vibrant China Construction. Please take your people and leave; don't hinder the schedule."

"You little prick, who the hell are you talking to?!"

Huang Jintang tossed the cigarette butt to the ground and ground it out hard with his foot.

He looked up and gave Ye Jiaxuan a light chuckle: "Back when I was doing construction in Wuzhou, you were still wearing split-crotch pants peddling soy sauce in the village! Dare to come here and steal my livelihood— do you even have the qualifications?"

"I respect you as an elder, that's why I call you Manager Huang." Ye Jiaxuan warned calmly: "You know your own nature deep down; don't act shameless while pretending to have face."

"Damn!"

Huang Jintang laughed, stepped forward and shoved Ye Jiaxuan hard with a palm: "You Ye-surname, who are you calling shameless?!" Ye Jiaxuan's slight frame was pushed back several steps before he steadied himself.

Ye Jiaxuan smoothed his chest cloth, still composed: "Are you dead set on causing trouble today?"

"Ge wuen— get lost!" Huang Jintang pointed ahead at the main road: "I have no interest in bullying a little dog; you, where did you come from? Get lost back where you came from, right now!"

"You want to play rough with me?"

Ye Jiaxuan gave a faint smile, didn't retreat half a step, and the next second pulled out his phone to call the police.

He had just dialed 110.

Huang Jintang instantly kicked out: "Damn!"

On the spot he kicked the unprepared Ye Jiaxuan to the ground.

Before Ye Jiaxuan could get up from the ground, Huang Jintang angrily gestured: "Hit him!" and the over thirty people behind him surged forward.

Although Ye Jiaxuan's entourage was not small either, they were all legitimate engineering technicians, unaccustomed to such barbarous scenes.

Before the crowd could react, several were knocked down.

Ye Jiaxuan was surrounded by five or six people; a steel pipe swung at his head. He dodged sideways, but someone behind him swung an iron shovel, striking his back hard.

"Ugh! ~~~"

Ye Jiaxuan let out a muffled groan, staggering a few steps.

Before he could steady his footing, someone swept a stick at his calf! Accompanied by a crisp 'crack,' Ye Jiaxuan also let out a heart-rending scream.

On the spot the bone was broken, and he collapsed to the ground.

Huang Jintang stepped forward two paces.

Looking down at the anguished Ye Jiaxuan from above, Huang Jintang said: "Mother of the Gobi, it seems you truly don't understand what 'a wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, a dog travels a thousand miles to eat feces' means! You mongrel, go tell your sister: if she wants to unilaterally break the contract, that's fine, but she must pay the penalty in full! If she's not satisfied, let her come find me herself!"

"!!!"

Ye Jiaxuan lay sprawled on the ground, unable to crawl up, in so much pain he couldn't speak.

"Hurts, huh?"

Huang Jintang gave Ye Jiaxuan a cold smile.

He raised his head and again shouted at the subordinates in front: "What are you all standing around for? Didn't you see Xiao Ye Zong fall and break his leg? Don't you have any public spirit? Still not helping Xiao Ye Zong call 120! Quick..."

Upon hearing this, the scolded lackeys all laughed, and more than a dozen people simultaneously pulled out their phones to call 120.

This time, not only was Ye Jiaxuan's dignity being rubbed into the ground, but the engineers lying on the ground in excruciating pain also felt hatred so intense they gritted their teeth.

Unfortunately, born to make a living, he lacked the talent for wielding weapons.

At the same time.

Lin Dongfan, who was in a meeting, received a call from the City Bureau; Lin Dongfan turned pale with shock: "First send the person to the hospital, keep order at the scene, I'll be there shortly!"

After saying that on the phone.

Lin Dongfan stood up and announced to everyone present: "Today's meeting is adjourned for now!" After saying that, he also ordered his secretary Chen nearby: "Prepare the car, go to Cloud Peak Mountain Villa."
